THE Legislators of various States are now
busily engaged in introducing bills to drive
various monopolies into the corner-except
the lawmakers of this State, who seem to be
engaged in exactly the opposite operation.
Possibly the Pennsylvania bills, apparently
designed to create monopolies, will not pass
in any greater number than those of other
States designed to abolish them; but it
would De pleasant to have some better pro-
lection in that respect than legislative indo-

THE TRIALS OF A BENEDICT.

She thought it wrong alone to roam,
A bachelor to be:
And, as / had better home,
She gave up all for me!
Though oft she says, when out OF sorts,
She will return, know
That she would sue me in the courts
If 1 but let her go!
Whene'er come home late at night,
She's sure to raise the deuce:
And while know I'm very tight,
She swears I'm getting loose!
Nor can hope to reconcile
My inconsistent dear
For If chance to take a smile,
She says I'm on y tear.

two Greek words, meaning knowledge of God.
Theosophy IS a sort of spiritualism, mingled
with Buddhism. Nine. Blavatsky teaches her
victims that by due contemplation of and COM

exalted, become possessed of occult powers
and in proportion as their physical chains grow

BrookIyn's Famous Invalid mt the Head of n
Manufacturing Concern.


Manufacturing Concern.
Special Telegram to the Dispatch.
BROOKLYN, N. Y, January 2l.-Nearly a
year ago Miss Mollie Fancher, the famous
invalid of Brooklyn, became the Vice Presi-
dent of the Sargent Manufacturing Company,
a concern in this city that makes and deals in
goods designed for the comfort of sick people.
Ever since that time all the meetings of the
company have been held in the lady's darkened
chamber, from which she has not stirred for %
years. The fact that she thus became con-
nected with q manufacturing enterprise was
kept from the public out OF respect to her sem
tiveness. OF course it came out after a time,
and it reveals more than ever the remarkable
genius of the invalid. Said Mr. George +.
Sargent, the President of the company, to-day:
Miss Fancher is no fgurehead in this con-
cern but one of the most active and valuable
members. She knows all about the sufferings
of invalids, and JUST how to relieve them. We
had and have no desire to make any capital out
of the use of Miss Fancher's name; she is ex-
ceedingly sensitive about parading her suffer-
ings."

Alex. Squires, applied yesterday at the
mint for a deposit OF s., 2Ol in gold wash
ings made at the United States mint in
June, 1866. He was thought to be a
crank at first, but explained that he was
one OF the Forty.niners, but returned
East In 1855, and on June II OF that year
deposited the gold In the mint. Tho
certificate he had sewed up In leather
belt, which he had carried on his per.
son ever since. He cut the belt open
and there was mint certificate, the
printed matter being all right, but the
writing illegible. BY the use OF chemi.

which helped to confirm the mans story,
and the records OF the mint showed that

sQuires says he was born In Richmond,
Va, but left there In 1887, and has spent
most Of his life since 1910 in California.
He says he left the gold in the mint be-

he did not need It. He has other means
now, though he dresses very shabbily.

engaged in selling and delivering coal

pearances he was one OF the lightest
hearted young men in the community,
and one OF the last to be suspected Of
brooding over either imaginary or real
trouble. Recently he had been unable
10 meet some Of the demands for money
incurred in his business, and had show
ed some signs Of trouble, and for several
days his family had noticed that he did
not appear as light hearted as usual. To
others, however, nothing unusual was
apparent,
He was in his place in the N, E,
Church choir, CHEEKY and bright as
usual, and the night before his death
had attended schoaeld's singing class,
Of which he was a member, returning
home about 10 o'clock.
After breakfast yesterday morning he
went to the stable in the rear OF his resi-
denCe to attend to his team, and unon
returning, his mother noticing his
troubled look, asked him what was the
matter? and received the answer, "0h,
nothing, except | have no work to doI
He passed on through the the kitchen,
In which his vile was attending to her
morning duties, into sitting room in
front OF II, and moment later his little
fye-year-old daughter who had come
through the room from the hall, passing
her father, stood in the door leading 10
the kitchen, and cried, mamma, papa's
got the bangv-meaning the revolver
q thirty-twO Callber Sport, which was
usually kept on top OF the clock, Before
his wife could reach the scene the shot
was Gred which ended his life,
The ball entered his right temple,
about two inches above and In front oil
the ear, and passed downward toward
his nose and mouth, Death was instan'
taneous.
Parker was about thirty years OF age,
He was esteemed a good.natured, peace
ful citizen, and was member OF the NJ,
u. church,
