The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. predicted, some
years ago, that the investigators to whose
objects they are "anti" would come at
last to experiment on the human subject.
Mr.. w. Mattieu Williams has become
aware of three instances in which this
horrible prediction has been fulfilled, in
each case with the full consent of the
subject and without injury to him. Pas
teur has multiplied human skin and
moistened the blood with the poisonous
secretions of mad rabbits. DIR. b. w.
Richardson has invented a painless cut
ting-knife, and has tested it upon his own
arm. And Mr.. Harrison Branthwaite,

istered brandy for the purpose Of testing

sons-habitual drunkards, moderate
drinkers and ab%stainers. Popular Sci

FOUNDING THE AsToR LIBRARY.
An Institution That Has Cost tho Fan
flv More Than n. DOC. OOO.

An Institution That Has Cost tho FAM
lily More Than $1,000. 00O.
John Jacob Astor, whose remarkable
career has shaped the destiny of Lafay-
cite place, died in 1848. His will con-
tanned a codicil in these words: 1Desir-
ing to render a public benefit t the city
Of New York, and to contribute t the
advancement Of useful knowledge and
the general good of society, 1 do by this
codicil appoint $400. 900 out of my resid-
uary estate to the establishment Of a pub
lie library in the city OF New York" The
instrument then gave specific directions
as to how the money should be applied,
and appointed by name eleven trustees,
including. in addition to the gentlemen
before named. the mayor of the city, the
son of the donor, William B. Astor, and
the grandson, Charles Aston Bristed.
Washington Irving was the first presi-
lent of the trustees, and Mr.. Cogswell
superintendent of the new institution.
The edifice, 85 feet front by 100 deep, wa
built Of brown stone, in the byzantine
style of architecture, and was completed
in May, 1858.
In 1855 the trustees were presented with
the adjoining lot, eighty feet front, by
Mr.. William B. Aston, who proceeded 10
erect a second ediice at his own cost,
similar in most respects to the existing
structure built by his father. This was
completed and opened in 1859. The mu-
n~ificent gift of $50, 900 for the purchase
of books soon followed: and by will, in
1875. a bequest of $249, 900 bore testi-
mony to the interest with which the son
Of the original founder regarded the in
stitution. He gave in all about $3.50, 900.
In 1879 his son, John Jacob Aston, grand
son of the first John Jacob Aston. con-
tributed to the enduring monument by
presenting three lots, in all seventy-ive
feet front, to the trustees and building
thereon the third section of the great
library in uniformity with its two prede-
cessors. The outlay of the grandson. ex-
elusive of the land, was some $3.50, 900.
Thus this great benif1cence, bringing
within reach Of the American people q
rare and diversified collection of stand
ard works, literary and scientific treas
ures, a blessing to the present and all
future generations, has cost the Aston
'amily considerably more than ST.
900, 900.
The alcoves are fruitful in historic as
sociations. Here Washington Irving
was often to be found, and for years
Horace Greeley's inkstand, pen and
paper decorated the table reserved for
his use. Almost every notable writer in
the country has in one way or another
left his footprints here. One alcove has
its odd story of being haunted; and the
n%eighboring Sands mansion has also its
ghost, which in former times had a Curl
GUS way of frequenting the library, as il
seeking congenial companionship, on
winter evenings whenever the eminent
DR.. Cogswell CHANGED to be alone.-New

AFTER fifteen years of retirement
John A. Bingham, of Ohio, who achieved
notoriety as manager of the impeachment
of Andrew johnson, has again become
a candidate for congress. As his district
is largely Republican he will probably be
elected. The E. o. p. begins to need such
men to fire its tagging zeal. Should
Butler, by any stroke of fate, be chosen
to the next congress the old colleagues

What Darwin's hypothesis suggested
was, not that man was descended from
the monkey, but that both man and
monkey may be descendants of a com
mon progenitor-a common type now
extinct, and of which no indisputable
traces have yet been found. From this
common type or ground form, SO to
speak, the process of development may,
according to Darwin, have resulted in
two distinct branches or offshoots-the
one branch of development ending in
the monkey tribe, the other branch end
ing in man. 1t is, in the absence of any
certain traces of the extinct common
type or progenitor, not a subject on
which TO dogmatize, but is a theory or
hypothesis which, in the opinion of Oar
win and many other scientists after him,
best accounts for the morphological de-
velopment of man, viewed merely from
the physical side.-Chamber's Journal.

DURING the last week of the session a
bill was introduced in congress to prohibit
corporations from holding lands. If the
object was to cater to a reckless element
for the sake of popularity, the represen-
tative who advocated such a measure was
a trickster; if he was really in earnest. he
must be regarded as n crank. What
would become of mining, milling and
stock growing companies under such a
law. to say nothing of railroads?

ONE of the Inconvenience of a territor-
ial condition is illustrated by the case Of
Marshal Carr. 1t was long since ascer-
tanned that there was no objection to the
appointment, but it had to wait for con
sideration until the last because there was
no one to call it up. 1t is true that Dele
gate Carey has teen said to possess great
influence with the senate, but, all things
considered, it would be more convenient
to have direct representation in that body.

possibilities of theosophy should not es-
cape the attention of newspaper pro.

very useful in newspaper Office. With
his physical body anchored in a first

body with great advantage into those
mysterious conferences of politicians,

As Set Forth by q Chicago Grand Jury.
Chicago, June 5.-The grand jury reported
to Judge Rogers this afternoon. The re-
port deals entirely with anarchist cases
which the jury has been considering for the
past three weeks. The jury reports:
1t has found true bills only against such
persons rs have been instrumental in caus-
ing the riots, and refused to find bills
against persons who seemed to be the
weak and ignorant tools OF designing
men. So far as we are informed, this
is the first appearance OF dynamite
as factor in the criminal annals OF
this state. In our opinion, while the dam
ger has been imminent and serious, it has
and the number of these enemies of law
and order greatly overestimated. Anarch-
ist conspiracy, as shown by evidence, had
no real come ction with the strikes or
labor troubles, but it simply made use OF
the excitement incident to those troubles
as it's opportunity. We have been as
sured that the total number of anarch-
lists and nihilists in the country from
whom danger need be apprehended prob
ably does not exceed from forty to
fifty men. Associating with them and part
ly subject to their malignant influence there
are. perhaps, q few hundred men who would
be dangerous in exact proportion to the
extent that they are made to believein the
power of their leaders, and in the weakness
Of the law. Then again there are perhaps
from 2, 900 to 5000 men variously classed
as socialists, communists, etc., addicted to
visionary theories in regard to matters OF
government, but who are not necessarily
dangerous and inimical to the peace and well
law is enforced. The attack on the
police on the evening OF May
was the result OF deliberate conspiracy.
This force of disorganizers had a very per-
feet organization OF it's own, and It was
chiefly under the control Of men who were
connected with the publication OF their
English and German newspaper organs, the
Alarm and the Arbeitsr Zeitung. So exag-
gerated has been the popular notion as to
the magnitude Of this anarchist host
that politicians have cringed before it and
political parties have catered to it's
fort. Professions have been tolerated up
on public street carrying banners and In
scriptions which were a shame and q dis
grace to the city and an affront to every
law-abiding citizen. Public harangues have
been permitted that were an open meanace
to law and order, and which in logical
sequence have reached their elimination
in the Haymarket massacre. We believe
that q proper enforcement Of the law would
protect this community from like disor-
der.
At 2 O'Clock Sam Eielden, Adolph Fischer,
George Engle, Louis Lingg, August Spies
