 MANCHESTER, N. H., Sept. Little Sarah Micaud has been missing since Thursday from the convent to which she was recently taken by her father. It was the first absence from the family circle for the mite of years, and the home longing was already sorrow enough without the added burden of s forgotten devotion.
 She had been brought up to expect & nightly parents benediOtion in kiss, and was given over to the care of the Sister Superior by her father, who neglected to press the childish lips before he left her. He returned to his home at Granitsville, R. l., and the baby girl gave herself mp to passionate grief. High and low the Sisters have looked, out no trace has yet been found, and it is feared that the child has drowned herself, her sensitive nature having been cut to the quick by the parents thoughtlessness.

 NEW YORK, Sept. Fire insurance mon are startled at the epidemic of in. cendiary blazes which has recently broken out in this city ard in Brook lyn. Fortunately none of these fires have resulted in loss of life or in serious ldamage to property, for each has been discovered before it gathered much headway. In almost every case. however, the building marked for de- struction has been a tenement or spart- ment house, filled with scores of sleep ing inmates, whose escape would have some bslatsd tenant or paaserby had not seen the danger and sounded the alarm.
 In the carly hours of yesterday morning six fires. all of which bear the marks of R systematic attempt at arson, were started. One Of them was an Orchard street tenement which fur nishes & home to seventeen families; the other five were In Brooklyn. Two. and possibly three, of the latter could easily have developed into frightful holocausts. The fire ant horities be lieve that, in most of these instances, the inoendiaries have been persons desiring to realize upon policies, but 1t has not yet been possible to fix the blame. The fire marshals and the police in both cities are making strenu- ous eNertions to reach the sources of all this deliberately planned arson and to bring the perpetrators to justice.
 The police are loud in their denunoia- tion of the courts for failing to con- viGt incendiaries where the evidence has been appa, ently sufficient to war rant e conviction, and they fear that unless heroic measures are taken the band of hrebugs wilt steadily increase, and some day succeed in burning up whole houseful of innocent people.

LOANS PAYABLE IN INSTRUMENTS.
 A shareholder in the Mercantile Co operative Bank may borrow in install ments. If he does not own real estate suf- hcient to pledge the loan, and owns lot, wishing to build upon it he can take shares and apply for loan, drawing the loan as his building progresses.
 For instance, suppose that a man holds shares, he is entitled to apply for loan of S1,O0O, as the maturity value of his shares is 1000. If he owns lot worth say $4OO, and wishes to build home upon it for say, $1, ,00O, he can apply for loan of $1 ,O00, and will get $500 as the first in stallment on his $400 lot. With that $500 he can commence building, and on the ex- penditure of that amount, his lot will be worth S700 and he can borrow another in stallment on furnishing the bank certi- tlcate from the architect builder or con- tractor of such expenditure, and so from time to time, as the building progresses he can draw his installments, as he needs them, so that on the completion of the building, he will have his full $1 ,00O loan, and the bank will have a first mort gage on the property, which will then be worth $1 400, and ample security for the money borrowed.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
CINCINNATI, February 26.-At 10 o'clock
tonight the Ohio river at this point is
just fifty.two feet above low water, and
still rising at the rate of two inches per
hour. The sky is overcast and threaten
ing, but the temperature is falling mate
rally, and the Signal Service here says
colder weather is expected before morn
ing. Should it come, it would check the
rise quite materially. If heavy rain
should set in along the valley before
morning and continue during the day, it
would cause dangerous food. The
indications under the present conditions
are that the rise will not be over ftty.fiye,
or fifty-six feet. Navigation is suspended
because boats cannot pass under the
bridges, and also because the landings
are a bout covered with water. The
back water up Mill creek has inundated O.
few gardens, bus it comes too early in the
season to damage them much.
Continuous wet weather has saturated
the earth 90 excessively that the rain
falls of the past three or four days all
found an outlet in the tributaries of the
| river. Along tno outlIo valley OI tu6
Ohio the rainfall has been enormous.

Our evening contemporary, in its
solicitude for the ring scheme to carry
the bonds, is both unfair and imperti.
nent. Those on the other side of the
question have a perfect right to defend
the rights of small property holders
without incurring the imputation of
hypocrisy. Nor is there any insult to
the intelligence of taxpayers in an ap-
peal to them to act IS judges of their
interests. With high confidence in
that intelligence we are perfectly salts.
fed to leave the decision to them and if
we are in the wrong they shall be the
umpires In the premises, not the ex.
travagant ring nor its advocates. The
appeal being to the intelligence of
the tax payers, they will prob.
ably be better Judges than our
esteemed contemporary as to the
value of their homes, and the ratio of
the assessment to that value. They will
probably hold the value at somewhat
over $500, or even $1,000. Most of them
have the assessment made by the ex-
travagant riagsters in black and white
before their eyes to fall back on. The
rate this year was 81 10; with % cents on
the $l00 added it is 81 SO. With an ex-
travagant county rate of 81 so added to
this it becomes nearly So on the $1OO of
assessed value. The taxpayers are the
best judges of whether they want to heap
this burden in greater measure on their
backs. Our interest is for them, and is
not hypocritical. There is abundance of
chicanery in the matter, but it is in those
who are working to get control OF an
army of needy people who ate to be i'm.
ported into this county to carry the fall
elections.

Republican Gerrymaneer.

No right-minded person will deny for
moment that the Democratic legisla-
ture in Ohio is doing a thing both
wrong and foolish in gerrymandering
the State. 1t is true the Republican
party of that State has had the State un-
fairly divided for years. The duty of
the Democratic legislature would have
been to make a fair division of tie dis
tricts so as to allow both parties fair
representation il Congress. But it is
amusing to read of the Republican Sens.
tors and Representatives taking up the
contest against gerrymander. If ever
there were case of the devil being sick,
and seeking admission to a monastery,
it is this solicitude of Hoar and his COM
patriots inveighing against gerrymander-
ing. The State of New York is Demo
cratic always on fair pre-
sentation of issues. Yet for many
years that party has not been
able to elect United States
Senator because of the way the legisla-
tive districts are divided. A recent issue
of the New York World contains letter
from Democrat in Ohio, who has taken
the pains to 60 to the records on Repub-
liean gsrrymandering with edifying
results. He takes fifteen Northern
States, which at the election in 1888 cast
$3.50, 1899 votes for Republican Repre-
sentatives, and 3,074, 165 for Democratic
Representatives. On fair division the
number elected would be about equally
divided between the two parties, but in
stead of that result the Republican vote
elected 126 Congressman, while the
Democratic vote elected only Al
congressman. Each Republican member
represents 26. 900 constituents, and each
Democratic member stands for over
IS 600 voters. This is in the ratio of 21S
to l. The net Republican plurality o.
voters is 3l2 ,234, and the net plurality o.
members of tn. Lower House is 70, Of
whom "a owe their election to gerry
Wandering. OF this the World says
editorially:
AS samples of this partisan injustice
Ohio, which cast 416,000 votes for Re
publican candidates and 396, 900 for Dem
ocrats, is represented in the House by
sixteen Republicans and five Democrats.
Connecticut, which had Democratic
plurality of 1856, has three Repu blicans to
one Democrat. Michigan, which casts
236, 1000 Republican votes and 2l3 900
Democratic, has nine Republican men,
bers to two Democrats. Iowa, which
went Democratic at the last election,
sends ten Republicans and only one
Democrat to the House.
