Grew from her pocket the cruel letter
that Jeanette had written, and that
had almost killed the poor wife. Read

He took the letter and read those
cruel lines there in the twilight. The
tears came to his eyes as he read down

one kiss that seemed to give life to
them both. They remained there in
the park, forg etful of the falling dew,
and told each other of the misery they
had endured since that dark, terrible
night.
Perhaps, Ray, dear, those days were
but to test our love, and now, since
the cause of all our troubles is re-
moved, we shall live in peace; but [
pity poor Jeanette"
And they did live in peace ever after.
Ray sent message to Sir Charles
that he had found his long lost wife,
and would spend that night in the
Castle And he spent most of his
nights there under the sunshine of
Lenora's bright smile.
The next summer they took their
little girl to America, and spent few
months at the old mansion and with
Aunt Jane and Uncle Cristo Ger
tana Girindani returned to her home
in Italy, and soon married a very
wealthy man.
Brave Johnny Jones, alter searching
the West over, found little girl that
looked very much like Lenora, and he
married her. The Unknown finally
reformed, and so did Captain Hutch
inson; perhaps the sad fate of Jim the
Desperate" had something to do with
their reformation, but we do not know,
and it always remained mystery who
it was that finally killed the desperate
Frenchman.

Saturday, March 16, will be the grand
spring opening of Silyerstone Bros, Mer-
chant Tailors APO and 422 East Water
Street, Milwaukee, Wis. when they will be
pleased to show their customers one of the
largest and handsomest stocks Of spring and
summer goods ever seen, with prices that
Will astonish everybody. Buying their
goods for cash, and believing in big sales
and small profits, they are enabled and do
sell much cheaper than most of their COM
petitors. BY being upright and square, and
giving the best Of satisfaction, they have
worked up an immense trade throughout
the Northwest. As cutters they will not
take a back seat They will not let gar
ment leave the store unless it is perfect in
every respect, it being their only aim, after
having gained a customer, to keep him. and
therein lies their success. During their
opening week they offer the public a reduc-
ton of 10 per cent OH all their spring goods,
something entirely unusual for a tailor.
This is certainly big inducement, and we
hope good many OF our citizens will use
this opportunity to their advantage.

to scrub them in cold water every night

Serious Charges Against a Prison
Warden.

WILMINGTON, Del, May 27.-A scan-
dial in connection with the management
of the New Castle County Jail at New
Castle was made public by the Eoening
Journal today. 1t duplicates the warden
oil the prison, James Toner, in serious
breach of rules, and has resulted in
Toner'S resigning his position today. On
Saturday night last, Toner, in company
with George Graham, who is serving a
sentence for numbering Gottlieb Koeder,
was seen on the streets of the city, and
later both were seen in saloon, intoxI-
Gated.
Graham, the murderer, wanted to fight
another man, but was persuaded to de-
sist by two friends, who went with him
back to the prison. The warden was not
with them when they returned, and it is
supposed that one of the other men haG
the keys of the prison. All were intoxi
Gated. Sheriff Allen was notified, but
did not hurry h.lnself to attend to the
matter. 1t is stated that this is not the
first time that Warden Toner has been
out with prisoners in an intoxicated con
dition. His intimate friends, it is asserted,
are permitted by him to come into the
Jail and gamble with the prisoners, often
winning considerable sums OF money from
them. 1t is also asserted that a number
of colored prisoners, serving out terms
for minor offences, have been at work on
houses Toner is building. Toner has
been head warden of the prison for sew
eral years. He has been candidate for
Sheriff, and intended to run for the nom
nation again. He made Intellectual eff
forts to get the Eoening Journal to sup
press the article, aud, failing, has resigned
and that paper published his letter this
afternoon. This exposure may bring
other scandals to light.

Admirable, however, as these tokens
of patriotism are as an inspiration to
love of country, they cannot compare
in significance with the battle stained

There seems to be popular move
ment on foot in Baltimore to secure for
that city high license law similar to
that now in force in Philadelphia. 1t
is undoubtedly true, that it matters very
little what shape restrictive legislation
on the liquor question takes, II public
sentiment does not sustain it. All the
evidence now goes to show that the
present low license system prevalent in
Baltimore is in no sense restrictive. That
the Sunday anti-liquor law is fagrantly
violated in every ward in the city, and
that liquor can be as easily procured on
Sunday as on any other day of the week.
The latest evidence of the total disre-
gard there of all existing laws as to the
sale of intoxicating liquors on the Sab
bath day, is the brutal murder of man
named Kirby in a public saloon on 81 n
day last. There being no denial of the
local necessity in Baltimore for some
other system more restrictive than the
present one, the question becomes one
of methods-What system better than
the present one is attainable in view OF
the present status of public sentiment
in that city on the liquor question? Ii
public sentiment is ready for it, an alb
solutely prohibitory law undoubtedly
would be the one most efficient method
to wipe out all the evils of the liquor
traffic. We do not think, however that
public sentiment in that city would sus-
tain an absolutely prohibltory law were
one passed now, and therefore we be-
lieve that under existing circumstances
in that city, as in most large centers of
population, high license system vigor-
ously enforced, is the best present rem
edy for an existing evil the potency of
which all are ready to confess.
