The officers Of the Second Nation

dent Murray several days ago that
a fi'm calling itself Billings, Camp
q Co., National Bargain Emporium,
835 Broadway, was flooding the
country with circulars offering to sell
silk and cashmere dress goods at
mafvelously cheap prices, and which
was believed to be a fraud. In the
circular the firm was represented as
consisting of Mrs. Eleanor T. Billings
and Mrs. Virginia J. Camp, with
Edgar F. Westervelt as special
partner. The firm had the name Of
the Second National Bank ON the
circular as reference.
Enclosed in The circular were small
samples Of fine gross grain silk and
Of cashmere dress goods, and accom-
panying it was a notice that money
must accompany an order. Drtpc-

the intelligent reader who, knows the
waNs,of American newspapers would
expect. + contains very little in
formation, and what lit does give il
favoured to suit The palates of anti
British readers. Tie writer very
naively says that the owners of seal
ing ScIIoonerSi in VictOria-"Instead of
giving up sealing as is most earnestly
desired by The United States Govern.
mcnt end the Alaska Commercial
Company are making preparations to-
enter Behring's Sea on a larger scale
than ever before" Bless the boys
Innocent heart!Did he for ONE moment
think that thai the owners of sealing
ships in Victoria pry the least regard
to the desires Of the Government ct
the United States or the wishes of
the Alaska Oomrnercia Company 1t
is we'll known that both the Govern
ment and the Company want, as far
as the fur seals are concerned, tohave
not only Behring's Sea, but the
whole Pacific Ocean for a preserve.
1heyawouid keep the sealers OF Vic
toria and of every other seaport on
the Pacific coast out Of the waters
frequented by the seals. Bat Victo-
rianS are determined /" lest their right
TO the monopoly they claim. They
believe that the day has not yet quite
arrived when The American Govern
ment and the Commercial Company
can drive British ships from the high
seas. The Victoria ship owners know
perfectly well that when they fit out
their vessels to hunt seals OF the Pa
cifc Ocean they are doing what the
American Government aud its pet
company would put a stop to If they
could.
The CALIFORNIA; reporter questions
the accuracy Of the aft Iavits made
by Victoria seal hunters relative to
the per centage of seals killed by
their methods and not caught. They
declare that five per cent is a large
estimate of the seals that are IO*'s
The reporter tries to throw doubt on
llllS NtdlcuE6tlL lIduC ~" 'dAh " "0H
who have been for years engaged in
the seal fishery, and not by p%roduc-
ing the testimony OF other seal hunt
ers of equal experience, but by quot
ing a conversation which he had
with Mr.. Lubbe, who is not a seal
hunter at all. Mr.. Lubbe, who
"kn0wS something about senlrlg," is
represented as saying that about 80
per cent, Of the seals killed are lost,
This is The why chat testimony il
manufactured on the other side Ot
the line. Gossip with a man who
never saw Il seal shot, but who says
he knows sonfe thing about sraling,.
is set against the sworn testimony OF
men who by personal experience
know all hbout the business. IL is
quite evident that the industrious
reporter could not find in Victoria
one sealer to1conradict the "fidavits
of the witnesses Produced by the
shipowners. His Sneers AT fhpm and

FRANKLIN,s WILL.

And now at this late day the will OF
BENJAMIN Franklin is contested-that is,
one of his charities provided for by the
will is disputed. 1t appears that by his
last testament Franklin set aside one
thousand pounds sterling each, for Phila-
delphia and Boston, to be used by those
cities after hundred years Of investment
in helping deserving young men to start
IN business. Franklin's idea was that at
the expiration of the term the investment
of the sums named and the reinvestment
of the earnings would produce more than
one million dollars, the interest upon
which would prove sufficient to aid several
Young men each year to start in a small
way in safe business the recipients OF the
aid 10 be such as had capacity but no cap
ital. and who, by reason of their correct
lives and their good examples, were worthy
Of assistance. 1t was a noble conception,
and for hundred years has excited men
IN commend Franklin's breadth of chart
table spirit.
But the investment of the sums has not
turned out as Franklin calculated. Only
about half as much has been realized as he
anticipated. His heirs now come in and
ask that the bequest be set aside, because
II has failed of its purpose; that as the
terms Of the will have not been complied
with. aud cannot be within the time APP
pointed, the will to that extent Is void
and the trust created has terminated
wherefore they ask that the money ana It's
earnings be distributed among them The
case is already in the Courts OF Pennsyi-
ysni,, and it Is probable that long and
t..liaus litigation viii be maintained.
II the will is defeated, as is not unlikely,
it viii be but another instance OF the iali-
,,re Of men, wise in their day, to so make
provision by will for their benehcent e0ntri-

Fashion in Honeymoons.

A novel method of spending honey
moon has recently been added to the list
of unique wedding journeys in coaches, on
horseboats or yachts. A young Viennese
bridegroom procured for the trip new
furniture van, with three horses and a
driver. The interior he fitted up in a
most daintily luxurious way, with every
comfort and convenience dear to the
feminine heart The cooking problem
would also arise to any one but lovers, but
whether the driver united the culinary
art with that of handling the reins or
whether the young woman herself was a
cooking school graduate, is not known
Anyway, the pair expect to spend two
months honeymoon, at cost of little more
than 500 per month, rumbling about the
country in their own private conveyance,
with buffet accommodations.

idea, and such is the object of Senator
Plumb's resolution, is that, as these winds
are of very recent occurrence and were I'M
known until two years ago, there must
have been change of some kind in the
conditions which prevail about Kansas.
| This change must be the cause of these
winds. We may be able to discover what
this change is. II we do we then know
whence these fatal winds. With that
knowledge we may be able, remarkable as
the statement doubtless seems, to control
the action of the winds."-N. Y Star.

NoTWITHsTANDING the official denials
of the Cars Government that it is pro-
noting the prosecutions of the Jews, the
dispatches with a great deal of circum-
stantiality set forth that the anti-Jewish
edicts of 1855 are now revived and en-
forced. Thus, the rule exempting an only
son who is the support of his parents, from
military service is repealed; the permits
sion given to Jews to reside in the in
terror of the Empire is to be abrogated;
the Jews are to be forbidden to trade in
the staples of the country, and all the
Jews in Russian Poland are to be exiled.
The very latest news is that all the Jews
in Sebastopol have been ordered to leave
the city. So detailed and positive are the
statements regarding these matters, that
they impress themselves upon the reader
as verify. The reason assigned for the
revival of these prosecutions is that the
Gar has become religious fanatic, and is
now convinced that his country is afflicted
with nihilism, and with the conspiracies
against the crown, because he has not been
true to the faith of his fathers in exclud-
ing heretics and furnishing non-believers.
We are very much inclined to believe this
story. If religious and civil prosecutions
have begun in Russia against the Jews it
is altogether likely that they spring from
the Greek priesthood, which has never
been tolerant of the Hebrews, and has at
all times insisted that they are social dis
turbers and meters to disloyalty. In a
degree this is true, for the active revolu
tionists in the universities and among the
educated classes number in their ranks a
good many Jews; out in proportion to
those of other religions among the agi-
tators, they are very few, and if persecu-
ton and exile is to be the punishment for
all revolutionary agitators, more members
of other creeds will fall under the ban
than of the Jewish faith.

HE WAS ASHAMED
To Ask Again, but His Frank Letter
Got 1t for Him.

A few months ago one of the unfortunate
inmates in the San Francisco Almshouse
was inspired by the sensational statements
in the newspapers with the belief that Joy s
Vegetable sarsaparilla would help him. But
without money, how to get it was the ques-
ton. FINALLY he wrote to the Edwin W. Joy
Co., appealing to their generosity, and it was
not UNDECIDED, the coveted preparation be-
ing sent by the next parcel delivery. Its
effect is best told in a subsequent letter, from
which we quote the following

and my circumstances and condition. AL

for another bottle of your Joys Vegetable

my system that my eatarrh, rheumatism,

Causes of Cyclones.

A few days ago Senator Plumb of Kan
sas introduced into the Senate resolution
calling upon the Signal Service to inyesti.
gate the cyclones and tornadoes which
have been so destructive to life and prop
erty in the State he has represented dur
ing the past two years. The object of the
bill, the Senator stated, was to see if some
means could not be discovered by which
these death dealing winds can be diverted
and the destruction that they entail
avoided. ! asked Sergeant Dunn of the
Signal Station in the Equitable building
yesterday, if the Signal Service Depart,
ment thought it had SO far advanced in
scientific discovery as to be able to dictate
TO the winds their course and instruct
them when TO blow hot and when to blow
cold.
Not quite so far as that yet" said the
genial student of the storms, "but there
are many curious and peculiar figures con-
nected with these winds that have swept
over Kansas and been the cause of so
| much suffering and distress to the people
of that State, and the Signal Service
thinks that thorough investigation OF
the subject may reveal something which

sen the fury OF the winds One of the
curious facts connected with them is that
they have only visited the State during
the past two years. Before that time the
people of Kansas were free from them, but
during the past two years they have come
at about the same season and have sweep.
over almost the same territory. Now, it
may be that the occurrence Of these winds
is simply freak Of nature, and that they
may not return again next year; but the
fact that they have come twice about the
same time and in practically the same
places leads us to believe that they will
continue TO be an unwelcomed visitor to
Kansas unless something is done to force
them to realize that they are unwelcome.
Il would liken the visitation of these
winds to disease like hay fever, which
comes at regular periods No one has yet
been able to grapple with this disease, and
the Signal Service may find these winds too
knotty problem for it to solve. The
