The NIereiIess Matterhor0.

The Matterhorn has had another victim and that victim an Englishman. On Wednesday MT. Borckhardt, of St. A1bans, Herts, perished there in a snowstorm of al- most unexampled severity at this season of the year, even for that region, for it lasted thirty-six hours. MT. Borckhardt was one of large party who might all have shared his fate but for the fact that two or three were able to push on through the snow to Zermatt and organize rescue. The travel CTS left behind, however, had to pass the night on the mountain. The rescuers came up with them next day at different stages of the descent and, with the one exception, were able to offer them reliee in time. MT. Borekhardt lived to hear the shouts of the rescue party, but he was too exhausted to advance to meet them, and when he was reached some hours after he was frozen to death. An English friend and two guides who were with him, and who were in much the same plight himself, went forward by his express wish and were saved, though they were much too weak to drag him along with them. All seem to have done their duty and the unfortunate gentleman is a vic tim, not of human neglect, but of the dan gers of this terrible peak. The Matterhorn, with it's fourteen thousand seven hundred feet of height, and it's steep and in places al most inaccessible sides, will always be most difficult ascent. The few huts and ropes with which it has been furnished for the convenience of travellers since 1865 have scarcely abated 8 jot of it's terrors. The first ascent of the summit was made at fearful sacrifice that was quite enough to stamp the character of the mountain among Alpine peaks. On the present occasion indeed the victim has not succumbed to the effect of fall and a broken rope, and there has been no repetition of the sickening sight which at tended the loss of four of the companions of MT. Whymper at the first ascent. To what extent the snowstorm may have been fore seen it is impossible to say, but, as expert enced guides were with the party, it is hard ly likely that it can have given any timely warning of it's approach. The weather was even unusually fine at the beginning of the ascent.

PHILADELPHIA,S MAYOR.

New York has successfully got rid of a public official who was proven to be totally unfit for his place, and now Philadelphia is going to try to get rid of its mayor, who is accused of serious misdeeds. The city coun- cil has voted to prefer charges against him.
 Mayor Smiths career has been curious one. He was successful business man when he started out in politics. He figured for awhile as reformer, and then ''joined the gang' and succeeded in becoming mayor by arts such as reformers have no fellowship with. Since his election he has been appar- ently anxious to be known as Zone of the boys" A few weeks ago 8 pawnbroker told someone connected with the Philadelphia Times that he was troubled lest he should be arrested for doing business without license, although he had deposited the money with his application at the beginning of the year. The law requires that all money received by shall be at once deposited in the city treas ury. This statement led to an investigation on the part of the newspaper, which discov- cred that the mayor had received large amount of money which he had not handed over to the city treasurer, but had deposited to his own credit. It was also discovered that checks sent to the mayor, drawn to the order of the city treasurer, had been altered after they had passed from the signers' hands to make them payable to MT. Smith, and were deposited to his private account.
 In answer to these revelations the mayor replied that he had received money for licenses and deposited it to the credit of his private bank account, but that he was not obliged to turn it over to the city treasurer until the licenses were granted, and that the city had lost nothing, as he was at all times able and willing to account for it. The mayors clerk took upon himself the respon- sibility for the alteration; of checks, and de- clared that he did it without the mayors knowledge.
 The mayor must now stand trial before the Select council on charges of maladminis- trat1on, and the trial will be very interest ing and important one.

AuhllAcI SlHlllaI IO Guoo III WHICH the pIalnCln was struck" The Supreme court couldn't see it in this light and promptly decided against the ingenious lawyer and his client
 MT. Chauncey M. Depew, of New York, has just returned from tour in Europe, and he has made some very interesting remarks concerning what he saw there. Among the most interesting and significant of them are the following: There has been great change for the worse in the industrial condition of Europe since was there four years ago. Mr. Depew continued: The tendency of the wages of artisans is downward, while the tendency to the necessaries of life for the workingman is not downward. The spread of socialism and anarchism, their threats and the occasional riots that occur, are alarming the large and the small property holders alike, and, excepting in France, there is reaction toward absolutism-the people are willing to surrender a part of their liberties for the sake of protection from strong government. The whole po- lice and espionage system of the continental governments, including France, are united for the suppression of socialists and anarch- ists. I am satisfied, from what I saw and heard of the socialist agitation and its in- fuence in creating tendency toward ab solutism, that the cause of liberty and de- mocracy in Europe has received the greatest setback it has experienced in twenty-five years.

The 'tfaith cure" has become conspicuous in Jersey City through the testimony of 8 stout woman who, while relating her experi- ence in the 'Mount Zion sanctuary" in that city, confessed that she was once "troubled with too much voluptuousness." To be more exact she said: tfI was so fat that couldn't walk two blocks. I took 'anti-fat and I grew fatter. I came to the Mount Zion sanctuary few months ago and then I de- cided to pray to be less volaptuous. When began to pray weighed 375 pounds. Now I weigh 3O0."

singular case of legal interference with church government is troubling the Metho- dists of Canada. member of the New Brunswick conference under arrest on charges impeaching his moral and religious character. The disciplinary court of the conference was examining into the truth of the charges when an interim order issued for the defendant by the Supreme court of New Brunswick stopped the proceedings and cited the conference to show cause why an order should not issue prohibiting the conference or any committee of the conference from proceeding further with the examination of the case. The argument will be heard with interest, as the question raised is whether church has the right to examine into the character and conduct of its own members without interference from the civil powers.
 An interesting horse case was recently decided in New Hampshire. The defendant in the suit was the owner of horse which Chad vicious disposition and constant inclination to iniure mankind" On one oc-
 casion, when the plaintiff was passing in front of it, the beast "reared, squealed, struck forward with his fore feet, hit the plaintiff on the knee and did the injury con- plained of to the joint" For this injury an action for damages was brought. The de- fendant in this case did not deny that he knew his horse to be a lively kicker, but he
 pleaded ignorance of the animals propensity to indulge in such demonstrations with his fore feet. 'Thereupon the lawyer advanced the theory that while his client might be lia- blefor any kicking done by the horse with it's hind feet. he could not be held, responsi- ble for the injury caused in this instance un' less it could be shown that he knew the ani- nal would "kick with it's forward feet in

Nine Points Of the Law.

TINS reasonable request, and as he rose from the
seat the gentleman slipped into IL, much to the
amusement OF the other passengers. The young
man then requested "his best girl" to go with

The Ownership of Land.

EDWARD Atkinson, IN WORK and Wages.
Ouce all men were tramps. The Indians used
to own all the land in common. They didn't
SOW much and they didn't reap much. They
lived on game, fish and CLAIMS, but there wasn't t
enough to 60 round, and then one said to the
others have as good right you to what
Indians killed him. That is the way we ali
began. The white men, VINO were our grand
fathers. lived in the same way in Europe but
that way didn't work well, and the white men
gave il up before the Indians, who haven't given
IT up yet. What did they do next? They saw
that all their food came out OF the land and that
II they did not fence in the land some where
and plant 1t there would not be enough food
to so round. Game was getting scarce. A
the rest This is ours" Nobody objected @ 'i inst st
then, because there was more land than folks
After the tribe had taken the land q part of
them planted It, and the rest kept up the fences,
that IL TO say. they stayed round the outside
and kept the tramps OFT. Next year the tribe
that had fenced in or set apart some OF the
land had plenty ot food, and then they had u
lot OF time to spare. SO they went TO work
making better clothes and building better
stronger because they had been better clothed
and better housed. The more they fenced in
and used the land the more food there was for
themselves and for others
The tramps outside had great deal more
land. they also had ali the game there was and
all the time there was but they said these feI-
lows inside the fence have taken our land but
as We have worked just as hard outside as they
have, they ought to share even; We have Just
dS AIsuL W SOIuc vi crops, ana IL
they won't give them 10 us let's go and take
theIn-lets s ali share even. That Is Just what
the traInps say no"; but they don't get IL, be-
cause the men inside the fence have the most
seuse and the most muscle, the best tools and
the best guns, and they know how to use them
The uamps We're licked, and then they began
to grumble, as tley do now. They said to the
men inside the fence: "You have no right 10
that land, we want some OF it," The men in
side said: "rhere is land enough outside, why
don't you fence in some out there?' The traInps
said: I've want to stay here" Then, said the
men inside the fence: ''Stay, if you want to,
and swap with us-there will be enough for ali
Oh US If we swap. We will work the land,
which Is good Tor nothing unless it is worked,
but we can't all work on this land; let's
swap work on land for some other
kind OF work. '.lIut where shall stay?' said
the tramp. I'VE can't all live in the woods
NO said the man inside the fence, 'we have
more iOod than we can eat, more timber than
We can use, more iron than We want; you can
come In and work up these things, and We will
let you nave a part; we will swap grain and
meat and timber and iron, which we have saved
from our own work and cannot use ourselves
for your work" The tramps agreed. Where
was the thief: Both had more than they had
before. Which one gained the most?
