The "DeadIy" Ailantus.

The enemies of the ailantus tree having
had their say, its friends now demand a
hearing. Its ablest defense so TAR comes
from Philadelphia, where Its merits have
long been recognized and its alleged de-
merits considered and discussed.
IL is claimed that the ailantus is the
only tree that dense and continuous
smoke will not injure, and that illumina-
ting gas permeating the soil will not de-
stroy. Its exceedingly rapid growth, its
freedom from the ravages OF insects and
blight, and its beauty OF form and follage
have long been recognized.
Unlike most trees, and like the null
berry and some few other species, the
sexual attributes of the ailantus are not
contained in the same individual. In
other words, it is not hermaphroditlc.
The female tree is entirely free from Of
fensive odor, which only pertains to the
pollen OF the male tree during the bloom
ing season, which is usually in July
and August. 1t is not charged
that the female tree Is inju-
rious 10 health, and it ia not believed that
the male tree is injurious except during
the season named. IL is claimed that
even then healthy persons are not
affected by the offensive odor, but it
seems to be admitted that inyalids are
affected by it, and many instances are
cited where diseases, levers especially.
have been greatly aggravated by the in
haling of the pollen.
To those places, Pittsburg and Ale
gheny City, for instance, where scarcely
any other kind of tree will grow in the
streets, the discussion is an important
one. 1t must also become matter of in
terest to those sections of the country in
which forest culture is followed, the
rapid growth OF this tree and its useful
ness and great value as a timber tree
making it for many purposes preferable
to many other varieties. 1t will be
only necessary for those interested
in propagating the tree to
cultivate the male plants, though the re-
jecting of such plants may be objection
able in forest planting on the score Of
economy. In sections of the country de-
voted TO timber culture, however, the Of
fensiye odor is not very Objectionable. In
cities there need be no obstacle In the
way of selecting female trees for trans
planting as the increased cost will not
probably be great enough to be onerous.

There are very few men who know when
they have got enough money. The more
they accumulate the more they want. A
writer In the New York Times says that
when jeremiah P. Robinson died IN
Brooklyn the other day he left an estate
whose value is generally estimated at
from $4,000, 600 to S5,000,000. Long years
ago when Mr.. Robinson was a young and
driving business man he had an ambition.
and the ambition was to accumulate a
fortune of $4,000. "When l get that
much money" he said one day to one of
his clerks, "thep Pm going to quit bust
ness right short off and enjoy the rest OF
my days in ease" And several years
went by before anything akin to the figure
be had fixed upon as satisfactory was ap-
preached; but the closer he got the less
he had to say about $3.50, 900 being enough
for any sensible man." One New Years
day he entertained his clerk. "Will,'
he said, "Pve been making an inventory
of things this morning, and find that
am worth something over 500, co.," s'Then
you are going to go out OF business, sup
pose," the clerk remarked. SEQ out OF
business! Why, man alive, what are you
talking about? Go out of business!
have only begun; my figure is $15O,000;
that's enough to satisfy any man, and
more would be a burden. But $50, 900
don't begin to look so big when you get
close to 1t as it does when it's about $49,-
900 off," Neither did $150,000 when it
came to look as big as 1t did once, and its
possession was but the incentive to more
energy and bigger enterprise.

From The Chiodgo Neaos (De7n.)
Col. John G. New. the venerable editor OF

around the shire towns and cross roads In In
diana, and he has come to the conclusion that
the Hoosier Republicans don't " ant to make
another trip with Jim Blaine In 1888. What

OF Indiana that il ever there's time when a

There are curious happenings on ocean
steamers. A Countess, a day or two ago,
met on the French steamer Bourgogne
an old sweetheart in the steward. The
Countess had been Boston girl and the
steward belonged to a very respectable
and once wealthy Boston family. He ex
planned that poverty had placed him in
his present position. He had this in his
favor: He was too proud to beg but moi
too proud TO work.

To Repair the Castle of ChiIlon.

from the London DdtLH TeLe0rdDh.
1t is said that the Canton de Vaud is about
to repair the castle of Chillon and to make 1t
a residence tit for human habitation. We see
no reason why one of the most interesting
buildings in the world should not be rescued
from damp and decay, 30 that it may afford
shelter to happier human beings than the
luckless prisoners who once pinned within it's
gloomy dungeon walls. The lake which laves
and gently kisses its foundations is said to be
300 feet deep beneath the windows W hich still
dimly light Bonivard's cell, and in the
seven pillars which Byron has immor-
tailed the iron rings TO which the early
Reformers were chained are deeply imbedded
The furrow wrought in the stone pavement
by Bonnivard's footsteps during his six years
of incarceration is still visible, and across his
cell stretches wooden beam black with age,
from which it is said that the condemned
we're formerly suspended. We entertain no
doubt that the dungeon occupied for many
generations by namelees prisoners, and cele-
brated nv Rousseau and Lord Byron, has long
brought In good revenue to the Syndic of the
Canton. in which it is situated. To be on the
Lake OF Geneva without visiting Chillon
would be tantamount 10 putting "Hamlet"
on the stage without assigning part to the
Prince OF Denmark. Even, however, If Chill
lon be repaired ana modernized. the flow of
English and American visitors will probably
know no decline. Far different wou d 1t be II

without a competent architect to guide h m,

Of the French revolution upon the medi@val

PARNELL DID NOT RESPOND.

A st. Louis Knight of st. Patrick Leaves
London in High Dudgeon.
cable Special.
very angry man who left here for Paris yes
terday, was Marcus A. Wolff. prominent real
estate dealer of ST. Louis. and leading mem
ber Of the Knights of st. Patrick of that city.
When he came over, two or three weeks ago. he
brought gift to the Irish cause FL 800 collect
ed by st. Louis Knights of St Patrick, with in
structions to send it over to Mr.. Parnell. He
went on tour through Ireland and Scotland,
and did not reach London till this week One of
the first things he did was to write Mr.. Parnel
a note saying that be would be pleased to cali
when 1t would suit his convenience adding that
he was from St. Louis, and member of the
knights of St. Patrick, who had entertained Mr..
Parnell when he went out to America some
years ago. He said nothing about money. No
answer came and next day Mr.. Wolff sent tel
egram asking if his note had been received. No
answer. Waiting still another day, he wrote
letter of some length, explaining more fully who
he was, and his anxiety to see him in regard to
mission with which he had been intrusted, but
still reserving mention of money Again no
answer.
He then wrote to Mr. Parnel an explicit let
ter, saying that he had 81 800 for him, but as it
seemed impossible to see him he would return it
to the Knights of St. Patrick in st. Louis
| This brought telegram from Mr.. Parnell say
ing that the first note had not been opened, and
that he would be glad to sea him. Mr. Wolff, at
the House of Commons that evening at o'clock,
but Mr.. Wolff did not 60. He took his draft for

return next week and send Mr. Parnell his card,
and if he wants the money he call and get
IL Mr.. Wolff puts his own construction on the
fkl.ass of Mr.. Parnell to see his first three
messages and 1t may he mentioned that Mr.
Wolff is not the first to make complaint of this
kind. Friends of the Irish cause who come over
here expecting any efforts on Mr. Parnells part
to make them feel at home will generally be dis
appointed. For leader of the cause of democ
racy and human rights he is strangely reserved
and exclusive.

IN THE CUSTOM DEPARTMENT
EMBARRASSED FIRMS.

Failure of Prominent Shoe House, with
liabilities of About 100000.
BOSTON, Sept. 6.-The failure of Cloutman &
Bingham, boot and shoe dealers, was announced
to-day, creating sensation in the shoe trade
Their liabilities not positively known, but it
is believed they will reach 5000, 900. This after
noon the firm made an assignment, for benefit of
creditors, to Francis B. r. Sears, cashier of
the Third National Bank. The firm, which is a
special partnership concern, is composed of John
F. Cloutman, of Pennington, N. H, and g. P
Bingham. of Boston, and has been doing busi-
ness in Boston for several years at No. GO South
street The firm has done very large business
as manufacturers and general jobbers, and was
largely interested in several shoe factories
which, owing to various causes, have not been
profitable No estimate can as yet be made of
the amount the firm will be able to pay. The
creditors are mainly in Boston, with some few
in New York and New Hampshire The assets
consist mostly of accounts The chief cause of
the failure is said to have been the present strin
gency in the money market.
The firm own factories In Pennington and Ep-
ping, N. H., and Haverhill, Mass. and are inter-
ested III the boot and shoe firm of Gould, Walker
& Co., at Westfield, Mass. 1t is said the latter
firm is safe. The failure causes surprise in the
trade, and it is suspected that it is not due to
business reasons
