 His wife was tried for the assault on the Donnelly woman and sentenced to two years in the New Jersey state prison at Trenton, which sentence she is now serv- ing.
 He Disappeared from View.
 The evidence in the suit for annulment of the marriage, which is not settled as yet, showed that Mrs. Hamilton was an adventures of the very lowest extraction and of the very worst type, with record of crime which was simply astonishing. After the exposures following the arrest of his wife Hamilton disappeared as com pletely from public view as though he had never existed, and the first news that has been heard from him is this sad ending of his ruined life

Forcib1e Language from the Pulpit.

The pastor of one of the Babylon Oong Islan0 churches is quoted as de- livering the following brief but pointed discourse at the morning service for the benefit of the gaudily dressed young men who had been in the habit of sauntering into church late and leaving before the services closed: "For the benefit of the young men who come into this church after service has com menced and leave before the collection plate is passed wish to say that the hour of service is il o'clock and the benediction is pronounced by 12. I would also remark that the style of at tire adopted by these young men, while perhaps very becoming, is more suited for tennis court, ball field or bull fight than for the house of God"

To Relieve the Strain,

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Secretary Windom has just announced that he would purchase SIG, ,OOO, 900 of per cent. bonds and prepay the interest on between $50 ,0O0, 900 and $6O,- 0Oo,0OO of 6per cents. in order to relieve the stringency in the money market. The order will be issued from Washington to- day, giving notice that offers for the bonds to be purchased will be received at 12 o'clock noon next Wednesday.
 MT. Windom said that he had named SIG, ,OOO, 900 as the amount of bonds to be purchased because, as the entire available surplus is now $52, ,OO0, 900, the treasury has outstanding offers for bonds and interest amounting to $3O, 900 and the amount of 4 per cents. now asked for will require about $2O ,OOO, 900. This together with what will be required for the prepayment of the interest on the per cents. will consume the entire available surplus.
 Mr. Windom further said there was no doubt in his mind that the action taken will bring satisfactory relief if the holders of the bonds are disposed to cooperate with the treasury. He sees no great dan ger of serious financial trouble, and it will not be the fault of the treasury department if if

French Royalists Sell to the Kaiser.

HIeACA ASOyaAStS sell 70 the A810of.
 Three French royalists have just sold the historical estate of D'Urville, of which they were by heritage the CO., proprietors. The purchaser is the Ger man emperor, who took fancy to the place when he first visited Metz, and has ever since watched for an oppor- tunity of buying it. The estate in ques. tion Is wedged in between German Lor- raine and Luxemburg. Some centuries ago it was under the sovereignty of the house of Orange, or rather constituted a little sovereign state In itself
 Louis XVI bought it from Maria Theresa and the Emperor Joseph for 24O, 900. The king was to have gone there if he had escaped from the Tuile- ries, and would have been guarded by regiment of De Bouille's division. As Urville was close to the Luxembourg frontier he could easily have with drawn from France if threatened by the revolutionary army. The estate of Urville became part of the national do- main and was sold to the Bande Noire, but the old chateau and the timber in the park escaped being demolished and cut down. The castle is a noble pile, and the park in which 1t stands is nohly wooded. .~-Cot. 1oudon New1.

Those who insist that our rural com munities cannot afford to build and maintain good roads are greatly mis- teken.
