NEW HAVEN CONN, TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 3, 1889

win, who first held the office, was appointed by the Crown. The two previous Lord Mayors of the Jewish persuasion were Sir David Solomons and Sir Benjamin Phillips, and, curiously enough, the year 1890, during which Sir Henry Isaacs will exercise his au. thority, is the six hundredth anniversary of the expulsion of the Jews from England by King Edward I.
 President Charlotte Smith, of the Wo- mans National Industrial league, has ad- dressed memorial,to congress in view of the Worlds Fair of 1892, asking for an ap- propriation to erect a monument at Washing ton to Queen Isabella of Spain, who was the friend and patron of Columbus. The petition suggests that the monument in question should be the work of Spanish or American woman sculptor, and states that it is destined to commemorate the services ren- dered by representative woman in connec- tion with the discovery of America.
 A peculiar case was filed the other day in the Circuit court of Birmingham, Alabama. Thomas s. Davis, twenty-six years of age, brings suit for $50, ,00O against the Georgia Pacific railroad company, and alleges that through the carelessness of the officers of that corporation his heart was knocked from the left side of his body to the right side, much to his physical and mental discomfort. He was employed as brakeman for the com pany few months since, and was injured in wreck. He alleges that his intestines were completely turned around by the injuries he received, and his heart afterward changed in sympathy with them.
 The Marston tramp law, which the New Hampshire legislature was once severely crit icized for passing, having become dead letter, to very considerable extent, the tramp has again become source of vexation to the farmers. Consequently the law is being revived in all it's quondam vigor, and last week fifteen were sent to jail for begging from house to house, or for sleeping in barns that did not belong to them. Before the en- actment of the Marston law, which made begging from house to house the test of tramphood, the inhabitants of certain towns l actually built huts for the tranaps to occupy, hoping thus to keep them out of their barns l and outhouses. The Marston law frightened
 away the tramps, for its intent was clear and easily enforced.

DESPEKATE WORK,

The Democrats must be desperate whsn they resort to such rassally tactics as they have used. against Messrs. Chandler, Hubbard and others. We do not believe the honest voters of this city approve such work. They should rebuke it and rebuke it emphatically. Villaipous lying and slander are not excus- able even in the heat of a political contest. Those who use such weapons should not be allowed to pre6t by their use.

 pr. Kraft Ebing, an eminent professor in the University of Vienna. says that 60 per cent. of all cases of insanity inherited pre- disposition from their ancestors. In 20 DOT cent. of all cases intemperance is found to be the sole or chief cause, and in 30 per cent. moro one of the causes of mental disease.
