Thomas DAYS yccep,ricites.

Thomas Day, the author of San
ford and Merton" a book which sew

heartily enjoyed for its stories with
out bestowing a thought on its phil
osophy, was born at Wellclose square,
in i74s. His father held a place in the
custom house, and left him a fortune
of Il, 200 a year. He was educated at
the Charter house and Oxford, and
spent some time in France, where he
received the new philosophy of educa-
ton. Having resolved on marriage
he determined that his wife should be
modelled in accordance with the new
light. He, therefore. went 10 an or
phan asylum at Shrewsbury and
picked out a ilaxen haired girl of ~,
whom he named Sabrina Sidney, after
the Severn and Algernon Sidney, and
then TO the Founding hospital in
London, where he selected a second,
whom he called Lucretia.
In taking these girls he gayca writ
ten pledge that withina year he would
place one of them with a tradesman,
giving Gi0Ot TO bind her apprenticeship,
and that lac would maintain her if she
should turn out well until she married
or commenced business, in either OF
which case lac would advance $500.
With Sabrina and Lucretia he set off
for France, in order that in quiet he
might discover and discipline their

The Human Factor in slums.

Mr.. Frederick Greenwood. in a dis
cussion in The Nineteenth Century of
Misery in great Cities maintains
that the slums and squalid dens that
abound in London and other enor-
nous cities correspond far more than
most kind souls are willing TO per-
ceive TO tie measure Of d~epravity and
weakness Of the human mind; and at
the same time TO the proportion of inca
pables in a state of society which does
not allow its incapables to perish"
Every village and town has its bad
spots and its centers Of degraded pop

IFS size; and il is only the vast extent
Of the mischief in London, commen-
surate with the dimensions of the city,
and the appalling magnitude of the
problems which it suggests, that ex.

thatany local and spasmodic efforts 10
ameliorate the evils that exist are des.

tend TO raise the general social con.

Chairman Jones Says 1t VIII Not Touch
Prohibition or Female Suffrage.
Chairman George o. Jones Of the ma
tional greenback committee has issued a
circular letter in which he says:
''In reply to my inquiries from Pro-
hibitionists, female suffragists, and rep
resentatives OF other sentimental and semi
political organizations, asking admission
to, or what action will be taken by the
coming greenback convention on the ques-

THOUSANDS OF APPLICANTS
Civil-Service Examinations About 10 BE

-
gin i'm Large Cities.
At Washin gton, Chief Examiner Web
ster of the civil-service commission is
actively engaged In preparing papers for
the civil-service examinations that are TO
lie held during the month of August in
some of the large cities. These examina-
tions, he says, indicate the rapid growth
of the civil service, for they will be far
more extensive than any that have been
held since the organization of the COM
mission. In New York city there are
more than ., 400 applicants for federal
jobs and as not more than a hundred can
be examined in a day it will take nearly a
month to ascertain how many of them are
suitable for government service. About
1870 of the applicants want to be mail
carriers. In Chicago the examinations
will begin Aug. = and last two weeks. The
recent annexation of adjacent territory
by that city calls for greatly increased
postal service and go Chicago men are
applicants for appointment as carriers,
while as many more desire clerkships in
the postoffice. There is a proportionate
increase in the number of applicants for
examination at Philadelphia, Cincinnati.

BURKE'S APPEAL DENIED.
The Winnipeg Suspects Eytradition Case
Settled.


Winnipeg, Manitol a, dispatch says:
The court room was crowded Tuesday when
the three Judges entered TO give a decision
upon the appeal in the case of Martin
Buslle, the Cronin suspect.
The Chief Justice was the first to render
judgment. He went over the facts of the
proceedings very hurriedly and then pro-
ceeded TO sweep away one by one the OBJ
jections raised by Blu kes lawyers when
the application for a writ of habeas corpus
was made Constable McKinnon's evil
dence was not Objectionable as the question
asked were only such were necessary
TO secure the information for the pol CO
Office register. The chief Justice had ex-
amiped the cases quoted by Baker and
found that they fully sustained his opinion
that a man who is an accessory TO a crime
may be indicted principal AS TO the
agreement that the court should be gov
erned only bv the provisions of the treaty,
the chief Justice held that the court could
only he guided by the crime intended 20
be committed and not by the oefni-
ton of the crime IN the treaty. He
dii not consider it his duty to weigh the
evidence. All that was necessary TO see
was that there was sufficient evidence, ac-
cording to the Dominion statute, to COM
that there was no evidence TO convict he
had been obliged 10 review it. He had
done so and he could not help arriving at
the conclusion that, taken as n whole. the
evidence was enough 70 excite strong sus-
picion against the prisoner. The chief
Justice then reviewed the evidence at con-
siderable length. In his opinion the APP
peal should be d smissed and the Judgment
of Justice Balm extraditing Burke sus-
taine1.
Judge Dubuis delivered short judgment
concurring in the principal points and CON
Guiding that tho appeal should be dismissed.
Judge Killam, in a Judgment of consider.
able length, agreed with his brother judges
IN dismissing the appeal and holding Burke
for extradition. The three judges lpoke
OF the desirability of cultivating rolicy
OF the freest exchange of criminals be-
tween the two countries. but pointed out
that it was q matter for the executive
department to deal with.

GREAT SHOE FIRM FAILS
THE LIABILITIES REPORTED AT a
MILLION AND A QUARTER.

Assignment of the Firm Of Batcheiler ~
Co. of Boston, Creating CONSERVATION
Among the Trade Reasons for the Col
Iapss-Prospects of Resumption.
A Boston dispatch says: L. and A. III.
Batchellcr d Co., among the largest boot
aud shoe firms in Boston, and doing bust
ness at 100 Summer street have assigned.
Mr. Batcheler OF the firm stated
that the liabilities would reach about
81, $50, 600, with nominal assets about the
same figure. An expert accountant Is
now going over the books, and a report
will be made 10 the creditors as soon as
possible. The assignees are Thomas +.
Proctor of Boston and r. Batcheller or
North Brookfeld. The larger amount OF
the indebtedness is said to be on paper and
held by parties who are at present un-
known to the firm. Four-fifths Of the in
debtedness is to banks and individuals.
The leather trade will not suffer, as the
firm paid cash for most of its leather. The
company is one of long standing, and the
failure creates great surprise.
This was one OF the ten firms in Worces-
ter county that had long contest with
the Knights of Labor in 1887 lasting some
five months, and this struggle. which re-
suited in favor of the manufacturers, was
very expensive ana has undoubtedly con-
tributed directly or indirectly to the pres
ent embarrassment. The immediate cause
of the failure is large losses made by A.
II. Batcheller outside of the business, and
the fact that the recent large failures in
the leather trade, followed by the Lewis
Brothers failure, added TO the i'll health of
the senior member of the firm, have rem
dered it difficult to obtain
money on the firms commercial
paper. 1t is undoubtedly true that
the manufacturing business of the firm has
been profitable and this makes it likely
that the business will be re-established I'M
der some arrangement between the firm
md its creditors. The firm owns it's
factory and machinery. which are esti-
mated to be worth over $500, 900, and also
owns the Batcheller hotel ut North Brook
field. The firm carries an insurance OF
nearly 81 900, 900 on buildings, machinery,
aud stock. A. II. Batcheler, the head Of
the firm, lives in Boston, and is director
in the Manufacturers bank. His resi-
dence, which rs on Commonwealth avenue,
stands in his wife's name Francis Batch
eler, the junior partner lives at North
Brookiield and has charge of the manu-
featuring.

WASHINGTON AFFAIRS.
WHY THE ENGLISH ARE MAKING
AMERICAN INVESTMENTS.

They Fear n General European War
Chairman Jones Explains the Green
back Party's Ideas-The Coming Civil
Service OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES News from
the Nations Capital.
A Washington dispatch says: An English
solicitor who is connected with some of the
moneyed syndicates which are creating so
much talk in the newspapers at the present
time explained to-day the reason why SO
much foreign capital is seeking investment
In the United States just at present
Sin the first place" he said. this syn
dictate is not operating with English CAPT.
tai altogether. Money from all sections
of the continent pours into London for
the purpose OF investing in American en-
terprises. The reason for il? Well, the
truth is that there is a widespread impress
sion throughout the money centers
of Europe that the whole continent
is drifting in the direction of war
This idea is growing rapidly and
is causing withdrawal OF money
from enterprises throughout Europe. IL
explains the reason for the great industrial
depression which has prevailed for some
time and which seems 10 be on the increase
rather than upon the decline. Capitalists
are looking for something which will be
safer than European stocks when this time
shall come and they are sending their
money to this side of the Atlantic in order
TO he prepared when the crash comes.
This explains the talk often heard now Of
English syndicates investing in all sorts Of
American enterprises"
1t was learned from another source that
the solicitor himself had made prepare
tons for heavy investments for his clients.
Washington real estate was to have been
bought up in large blocks, so the story
goes, but the discovery that the alien land
act prohibits the ownership of land. in the
district of Columbia by foreigners has
settled the project for the present at least.
