Social Cloud.
The factional fight among tho members
of the provincial government, combined
with a lawsuit instituted By a bark eper
named Ate Jobnson, to receiver damsees
from Landlord O'Cn anor, of the Nico.lst
hotel, has resulted in the exposure OF a
scandal involving Premier Gre, away, and
which will probably end his pn.,tical life.
The premier's fordhess for the fair sex has
long been q subject OF comment throuxh-
out the province.
This latest story is to the effect that
Johnson's wife discovered Green@ay in
room Mt the Nicollet with a woman Her
husband mad, some fuss over the matter
and was discharged by Landlord O'Con-
nor. Johnson, III order to clear the name
of his wife, made an affidavit, setting forth
the facts Of the occurrence. This affidavit
was placed in the hands Of the legislators
opposed to the Greenway government. 1t
was intended to bring it befor. the legisla-
ture, but the friends of G~reenway persuaded
the member who was to present the
affidavit and q resolution %censuring the
premier to postpone his action pend
ing efforts to heal the breach in the cabi-
net.
After this Johnson made more afidavits,
giving the dates of Greenway's previous
visits to the Nicollet, and which were in.
dorsed by witnesses. These last afidavits
connected the names of two girls, daugh-
tiers of a vel! known lawyer and a military
officer, with G~reenway's %escapades. The
scandal is injuring Greonway greatly, and
it will certainly be the cause Of his politi-
cal downfall.
Johnson is suing his late employer for
wrongful dismissal, and Greenway and the
woman will be called to give evidence, and
thus the whole story will come out in tia
courts. G%reenway has not been down town
since the scandal became public. He sleeps
and takes his meals ct the parliament build
ings. One Of his colleagues has stated that
the premier is taking the trouble SO Sc
riously to heart that his hair is turning
gray. he has a, large family. who 1.-Two at

Detaulter Archer Resigns.

Stevenson Archer, the defaulting state
treasurer, has resigned, His letter of
resignation, which is dated March 81, was
received by Gov. Jackson on his return
to Annapolis from Baltimore, where he
had been attending conference of the
joint committee appointed By the legisla-
ture to investigate the defalcation. The
communication was not written by Archer
himself, hut was signed by him. He ex-
onerates oil of the employees of his Office
from completely in the frauds and con-
fesses that he alone is to blame. The
resignation will probably not be accepted.
No formal charges have vet been preferred,
as the Legislative committee desires to in
yestigate still further the affairs of the

A Stone from Calvary.

The stone from Calvary, which is to
form the corner of DR.. Talmage's new
tabernacle, has arrived at Brooklyn on the
steamer Glava. 1t is about three feet
square and ten inches thick, and weighs
nearly 1876 pounds. Its color is dark red
and it looks very much like a piece of Can
adam granite. The legand is that the
stone is one upon which the Savior stepped
while on the way to the cross. A box of
relics accompanied the stone.

On the I'd instant o most horrible SUI.
eide took place at the town of Hartford.
G. w. Weheler, the village justice of the
peace, was found dead in the middle of the
wagon road running alongside Wall lake,
leading into the village. The only witness
of the suicide was the 13-year-oId son of
Dolph Gaines, who had been hunting for
geese on the lake. He was on his way
home when Weheler met him. Weheler
asked to borrow his loaded gun, which
request was granted, and by calling the
attention of the lad to q flock OF
geese Weheler placed the muzzle of the
gun into his mouth and pulled both trig-
gers. The explosion literally blew the
mans head oil to pieces. Pieces of the
brain were scattered fifteen feet away and
portions of the skull were found in q
dozen different directions. There was
nothing of the head remaining but the
ears. No reason can be assigned for the
suicide other than the fact that the de-
ceased has been for months b%rooding over
imaginary troubles. Weheler was a Ger
man, well educated, about 46 years of age
and the father of thirteen children.

Foreign SlatecraIt Schemes.

The scheme to convert Finland from a
free state, with the car az constitutional
sovereign, into Il Russian province. with
the gar as autocrat, ~excites considerable
attention in Europe. People generally
have had their eyes fixed upon Russian
operations in the Danubian provinces and
on the D~ardennelles to the neglect of the
encroachments Of that vast and restless
power in other directions. Russia is
feared by Sweden not less than by Turkey,
and Sweden looks to England, just as the
sultan does, for protection from the grasp
of the Muscovitc despot. The Scandina-
VANS are not united in feeling for reasons
apparent to the student of their history.
Between Russia and Denmark there has fol-
ages existed a strong sympathy, while Rus
STA and Denmark regard Sweden both with
u%nfriendlv and the former with coyetous
eyes.
The classification of the Firms, there.
fore, means one more step in Russia's ad-
vance toward an attack upon Sweden and
Norway. Finland was a part of Sweden
for centuries. Russia first annexed one
half and in 1908 seized the other half, but
not until after a heroic struggle, which
is commemorated in the grandest Scandi-
navian epic of this age. The eyes OF
Europe were bent at the time upon Ma.
poleon, otherwise the Russian conquest OF
Finland would have held a place in history
with the throttling of freedom in Poland.
Some Of the incidents, as when
one Finnish soldier held a narrow bridge
for many minutes against a large force OF
Russians, falling Just as the Swedish army
came up to the post which his valor had
saved for them, compare with the noblest
achievements on record. A people of this
kind will not yield their liberties without q
struggle. The western shore Of Finland
is chiefly settled by the Swedish race, an d
most Of these would either fight or emf
crate, and as stated in q previous dispatch,
many thousands have already %emigrated.

woods was worth gIancing at. Tho ete.

have ou.|ived the proud pharaoha Of
Egypt. the chosen people Of Palestine,
aud Emperors OF Babylon, Nineveh,
Persia, and the Macedonian and Roman
Empires, having held their lands for
over fifty centuries. Mr.. Stanley lately
saw the wear and tear on tho Pyramids
Of Egypt, and he could certify that tho
old Sphyn1 presents a very battered ap.
pearance indeed, but the pygmies were
as bright and fresh and young as the
generation which Homer sang about.
Neara river Mr.. SANKEY'S men found
the first male and female OF the pygmies
squatled In the midst Of wild
Eden peeling plantaius. The height OF
the man was four feet; that OF tho wo.
man little less. The man weighed about

Mr.. Stanley passed through about 100
villages inhabited by those wee folk,
who generally fed at his approach.
They are 30 well proportioned that at !
first sight they might be taken for ordi.
nary mankind; but when placed by the

Amid the PROSTATE forest tbey plant
their banana and plaiutain bulbs, and in
twelve months the PROSTATE trees are

easy to prove that III the forest an acre
OF banana plants produces % times
more food than an aero in wheat pro-
duces in England. When honey, and
game, and meat, &C., got low or scarce
in the neighboshood. the pygmies pack
their household goods on their women's
backs, and depart elsewhere to attach
themselves To some other plantations. A
forest village consists OF from 20 to 100
