City, is a puzzle to the authorities of the
county At almost every term OF court he

ri4g TRUST RESIGNED.
A New Development In the Embarrasi

A New Development IN the Embarrass-
mont OF Barker Bros.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec 15--The Girard Life
Insurance and Trust company has fled in
the Office Of the prothonotary Of the courts
a bond for $4,000 as security for trust
resigned last week by Abraham Barker
and Wharton Barker. The trust said TO
have been made by the Bankers was for
the benefit Of certain depositors with the
Barker Bros company. Should the claims
Of these favored depositors prove good it
will take from the assets of the firm now
Ia the hands Of the assignees securities
whose par value is considerably in excess
OF 100000, and their market value less
than the S1s3, $50 OF deposits for which the
securities are held as collateral This will
consequently leave less TO be distributed
among the other creditors should Barker
Bros. be forced to liquidation. The trust
was created Sept % last, and 1t Is claimed
by the deed of the trust that the securities
were for the purpose of securing subscrib-
ers TO the formation Of the American and
European Finance corporation, limited,
for which Barker Bros. &, Co. were TO be
financial agents. The petition Of the Bar
kers says that they are hampered in the
discharge OF the duties Of the trust by
their financial embarrassment and desired
to be relieved. The change was made TO
the Girard Trust company, approved Of by
the court and bonds fixed at 100000.

SOMEONE YELLED "FlRE p
A Tenth Ward Billy Goat Creates Scene
In Boarding House.

A boarding house mistress on Che west

which she will not forget for season.
The woman is respectfully connected, but
the death of her husband some years
since left her in Strengthened circum-
stances and she was obliged to keep
boarders TO maintain herself and her
small children. Among those who live
at her house is a man who, many years
ago had a narrow escape from being
burned alive by fire in a New York
tenement house. The word fire" ever
since is sufficient to make him jump from
a third story window without calculating
where he may land.
The family hs d gone up stairs before
one Of the absent boarders had returned
home. When he did come he saw double
| and his legs bent beneath the weight of
his body. A large billy goat had taken
up his position on the door step When
| the door was opened he entered The
man was about to attempt an election
when the goat reared himself on his hind
legs, there was q dull thud end the man
went sprawling in the hall. In minute
he wal on his feet and retreating to the
dining-room with the goat in hot pursuit
Here he got another butt, aud was
thrown against the table which was
overthrown and the dishes smashed.
The hub bub was heard upstairs, and the
man who dreaded fire called 'Is the
house on FREE" cit IT, The stairs are
burned away and there is no escape ex-
cept by the window" said another
boarder outside his bedroom
door, blowing as he spoke q

boardar, and Selling the blanket, threw
up the window and alighted safely in the
back yard Meantime all the inmates Of
the house rushed to- the dining-room tc
ascertain the cause OF the disturbance.
| Lying fiat on the floor was the
vanquished border. now thoroughly
sobered, and standing over him proudly
was his victor, the goat Without wait

seized the govt by the wniskers and
dragged him towards the back door

and say, SThy will be done"
SOME one with good weather eye writes from
Cincinnati to Kate Fields Washington
II cannot express to you how much appre-
ciated the Strike of Sex leader in your paper
of last week. The woman question is the burning
question of the hour. To evade it is stupidity in
journalism, and would be cowardy in Kate Fields
Washington"
If to evade the woman question is 'stupidity"
and also "cowardly'' in journalism, there is much
good company among those who challenge these
accusations. 1t is very noticeable fact that many
of the most prominent journals Of the country
Systematically ignore the subject, thus giving un-
mstakable proof, either of fear to touch an un-
popular theme, or remarkably short sighted sur
vey of the field they wish to cover and into which
the woman question has come to stay.
In enumerating the Christian virtues and graces
Charity has been given the most prominent place,
and yet that kindlness of heart which prompts to
the observance of the golden rule-the doing unto
others as you would that they should do unto you
is not forgotten. Kindness of heart and man.

another class for which we should with care provide
our dumb animals. In behalf of these there has
been for several years very lovely little paper
published in Boston, by the Humane Society The
objects Of this society is so well known that to
mention them tells of the good work they are do
ing everywhere Wherever branch of this or
ganlzation exists, the dumb animals have staunch
friends to protect them. One morning during the
past week our city schools were visited by gen.
tleman. He came in the interests of this society,
and briefly addressed the pupils Of the various de-
bands Of mercy and in a pleasing way told the
listening children how much good they might sue
coed in doing, by the timely cultivation Of the
better nature by the repression of anger and
passion, and the development of those higher
qualities that distinguish man from the brute
creation. At the close Of his entertaining and in
structve remarks, he asked the children to join in
forming bands, and to name each band after a
flower or animal, To each band thus formed
copy of Our Dumb Animals, full of lessons on
kindness was to be furnished for one year, free.
1t contains much useful and instructive reading
matter, and fifty songs for little ones, teaching
kindness at home and abroad to those bound to
us by ties Of kindred and affection, and to our
dumb animals who served us in barn and stable.

Reed as saying that he is inclined to think that the
most important factor in the result of the elections
is the women of the country. In their shopping
excursions they found the rise of prices explained
as due to the Mckinley bill; then they went home
and told their husbands, and this had tremen-
dous effect at the ballot box 1t is delightful to
know that political parties are beginning to take
note of what will be women's wish and will with
regard to their measures.
In regard to an article "Patriotisn and Chasti-
ty," copied elsewhere in It's issue, The Woman's
Penny Paper says:
cit is with some hesitation that we have pub
shed Mrs. Cady Stanton's defence of Mr.. Parnell.
But we desire all women to speak for themselves,
however radically we may differ from them"
To call Mrs. Stanton's article a "defense of Mr.
ParnelP' seems to us mistake. Rather should
we term it mighty protest against condition Of
social codes that are destructive to the moral ma
ture of men, which law and custom has sanctioned
so long that it has almost become second nature
with men, no matter how pure otherwise, to be
lax in ideas of chastity. To us Mrs. Stanton only
seeks to be just to Mr. Parnells patriotism, while
she deplores his lack of individual virtue.
"FoR whom do women dress?" A question oft
repeated, but seemingly never yet satisfactorily
answered. Here is what Kate Fields Washington
says about it:
"Some man-French, Of course-has said that
women dress to excite the envy of their own sex.
This is libel, but being epigrammatic it is, like
most epigrams created by men at the expense of
women, long Lived and easy to quote. For woman
to like pretty things is as natural as for nightin
gale to sing or sunaower to turn toward the sun.
Any properly constituted woman will dress as well
as she can, because lit is her nature to- There
are few greater minor trials for her than to 60
about in old clothes. Women dress,
first, please themselves, and, secondly, to please
the men. Why shouldn't they?
