HONEST TON AXW0RTHY.
Supposed to be in Belgium-EoW lie Fleece
ed the Banks.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 25.-When Thomas
AXworthy. the defaulting city treasurer,
babe Cleveland hasty good bye on Sep
TENDER 28 he had on his person bills of ex-
change representing more than one hun
dred thousand dollars drawn on Drexel,
Morgan s. Co., of New York City This
was independent of the cash he had with
him. which isik pown to be at least thirty
one thousand dollars. How much more
money he took away with him, if any,
will probably sbe learned as the official
investigation progresses. ! The manner
in which he obtained the bills
OF exchange and his disposition
of them disprove all the
theories advanced by his friends in sup
port of the belief that he had not deliber
ately fieeced the city of whatever he could
was coming he fled. On the day before he
left the city he visited the National City
bank, the Ohio National bank, the Union
National bank, the Cleveland National
bank and the Commercial National bank
and purchased bills of exchange on
Drexel, Morgan & Co., amounting to
a sum slightly in excess of 100000.
The only national banks that he did not
visit for this purpose were the Merchants
and the Bank of Commerce and the reason
is plain, for his bondsmen. Mr.. Wade and
Senator Payne, are connected, one or the
other of them, with these institutions and
would have had their suspicious aroused
by such an action. Mr.. Axworthy gave
his personal checks in payment for
the bills. DreXel, Morgan & Co.
have number, of branch houses
in Europe and the simplest logic
leads TO the conclusion that Mr. AXworthy
converted his Cleveland paper into for
eign bills of exchange at the New York
office before he went to Montreal. The
defalcation is at least SAC, GOO and may be
still more. No trace of the missing man
after he left Montreal on October 2 has vet
been found. His friends think he is posi-
bly, in Belgium.

prints the following editorial, which is
literally interspersed with capitals and
italics:
IN A NUTSHELL.
First-We are not opposed to a man but
to a fractional spirit in the Democratic
party.
Second-Division in the ranks when
great issues are at stake is little short of a
political crime.
Third-It means that somebody is will
ing to sacrifice the national ticket in order
to crafty personal ambition or personal
spite.
Fourth-It means also that some one is
ready to risk throwing the federal gov
eminent into tie hands of the Republi-
can party to insure success in a local
fight
There never was time in our history
when the country more urgently demand
ed sound and conservative policy than
now. The Republicans have had ample
opportunity to show what they can do, and
have proved themselves unequal to policy
which knows no north, no south, no east,
NO west
To allow the party to regain power
would be a national misfortune For a
Democrat TO assist it to regain power by
creating or fostering disaffection is an act
so nearly equivalent to treachery that the
two are inseparable.
The editorial throws considerable light
on the local situation.

WASHINGTON TERRITORY WOMEN.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The women of
Washington Territory are exceedingly in
dignans at the decision of the territorial
supreme court, by which the statute which
provided for woman suffrage was declared
unconstitutional. This decision disfran-
chises the women of that terri
tory who had supposed that
the right of suffrage was perma-
nently esta blished. The women of that
territory, accordingly are organizing to Sc
sure some action at the next session of con-
gress, which will, they think, have the eff
feet to re-establish them in what they had
supposed before were their rights. The
form which their efforts will assume, is to
secure an amendment to a bill relating to
the territories, which they hope and be-
lieve will be enacted by congress next
winter copies of this amendment
have been placed in the hands of
from the Pacific coast
and will be sent to all congressman and to
public men generally in eastern states who
take any interest in the woman suffrage
question. The form of amendment which |
is proposed to the territorial bill is this:
All laws that have been or may be enact |
ed by the legislative assembly of any terri |
tory shall remain in force until repealed |
by said legislative assembly, unless multi |
fed in express terms by subsequent act of |

rrnner Caro- Of Woodlands.

A German farmer would MS soon allow
his cattle to range in his wheat fields 80
in his forests, which often prove the most
profitable part of q European estate. In
this country the wooded part of the farm
is not cared for nor protected in way
to maintain and increase its value; it is
always used as a pasture, in spite of a
well known fact that cattle are fatal to o
forest: the trees are either all cleared off
at once, without reference to their re-
production, or are 80 carelessly selected
for cutting that the character and COM
position of tho woods are ruined. Moro
care is taken now than formerly to pre-
vent and check fires in the woods, but
the damage done 10 forest property in
this country by fire is still an alarming
item in the national waste account. No
system of agriculture can be long success
ful and profitable which ignores the ne
cessity Of cultivating trees, and which
does not recognize the fact that much
land in every country can only be made
profitable by means of trees.
Tho precepts which should be often
repeated to farmers are not that trees
produce rain, or that trecS are sacred OBJ
jects, which cannot be cut without Of
fenso to man and nature. Tho lessons
they must learn, If they hope to COM
pete with the farmers trained under
moro enlightened systems of agriculture,
arc that sterile, rocky, hilly ground can
not long be TILED profitably; and that
such land can only be wisely used to pro-
ducc trees; that tho pasturage Of do
nestle animals IL woods or on land only
suitable for the growth Of trees, is an
expensive and wasteful system. as un-
satisfactory from a pastoral point of
view as it is fatal 10 the forest; that
trees are rs much o@t Of Place in the
strong level lands really suitable TO per-
manent tillaGe as cattle are out Of place
in the woods. And they must learn,
too that woodlands can only BIO made
profitable when the same core Is given
TO the selection of trees with reference
10 the sill and climate rs is bestowed
Upon the selection of grain and other
crops, and that the rules which raturc
has established for the perpetuation OF
forests must be studied and obeyed.--

American history as it Is printed in
English papers Is always interesting, and
often surprising to Americans. The
death Of Gen. Sheridan has called forth
the English writer of American history,
who, unfortunately for him. left his ref
erence book behind. Thus The Birnling-
liam Post informs its readers that
Cen Sheridan rhad the good fortune
to witness many OF the most re-
markable battles of the Franco German
war, when representing the American
government at the German army during
the invasion Of France. There can be no
doubt that he profited immensely by the
lessons Of that war, and by the counsels
and criticisms of the German strategists
with whom he was in daily contact; and
when the war crisis arose in his own
country, therefore, he met it with much
better equipment of knowledge and ex-
perience than most of his colleagues and
contemporaries. The little circum-
stance that the Franco-G German war did
1pt begin until more than five years after
gr civil war ended is not allowed to in
terfero with the Birmingham editors
assumption that Sheridan was a pupil of
the Germans and learned of them how to
win battles. Boston Transcript.

A ride of forty three miles from Aspen
to Glenwood Springs deseends 1900 feet,
with a corresponding rise in temperature
Here the Grand river, emerging from the
wonderful canyon, is joined by Roaring
Fork. Here, by the side of the Grand
river are sulpho-saline springs which for
volume and heat beat the world. A cir
cular wall, so or 60 feet in diameter,
encloses bubbling springs which send up
volume of water, which is carried in
stone aqueduct, along the side of vailed
in swimming pool, 600 feet long and 100
feet wide, into which the aqueduct has
several inlets, besides discharging a
strong stream below.
This great swimming pond Of strong
sulpho-saline water is kept warm summer
and winter by these springs The salt
water is so hrmvy us to make swimming
easy. The p,end is three feet deep at one
end, deepenirt To five feet at the other
end, and thesr is a row of dressing rooms
for bathers. iLcre the population, male
and female, disport of evenings under an
electric flare. The statement that this
great pond is kept hot all winter is hard
to believe, but travellers have to believe
much. Below the pond is a bathing
house into which the water is brought by
pipe, still too hot for use without cool
ing mixture. On the town side, by the
edge of the Grand, is a hot spring and
bath house, the property of the town and
free to all.
A little above, near the entrance to
the canyons of the Grand, is natural
cave of hot vapor, called the sweating
cave, having accommodations for strip
ping and dressing. This is short order
Turkish bath. The person to be sweated
strips in an apartment and then passes
through u narrow way in the rocks into
the natural cavern at the base of the
mountain, and the door is shut upon
him, making the cavern tight. A small
aperture at tire top let's in faint light
through glass. The heat and vapor
are made by hot sulpho-salfne springs in
the bottom of the cavern. A floor Is laid
over these to stand on. A spring in a
basin at the side of the cavern offers for
dash. Here the sweater stands in the
hot air as long as he can-say ten or tif-
teen minutes sweating for all sweat is
worth. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
