The New Form of Bill of Ladipg.

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 5.-As far as
can be ascertained there is no change IN
the attitude toward the new form Of bill
Of Isding, either on the part of shippers
or of carriers. The Lake Shore road
which was believed to be contemplating
q stamp similar TO that of the Chicago
and Grand Trunk, gives out positively it
is using the new bill of ladiug; at the
same time it is also true that the roads
using the new form are losing business.
For instance, the Grand Trunk received
various offers from shippers who said
their only reason for changing roads was
because il used the new form.

Collateral Trust Bonds Not Properly En-

York ExchHnGe-Its Effect.
Special 10 the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Much dissatis-
faction exists among some of the large
holders of new collateral trust bonds of
the Missouri Pacific railway because
they are not listed at the New York
stock exchange. A very heavy opera
tor in railroad bonds, who holds large
amount of the bonds referred to, says:
~ feel that we have been very badly
used, indeed. In the first place, after
II had been decided to issue collateral
trust b nds to take up the heavy float
ing debt which was being provided for
by Gould, but from the bur-
den of which he wished to
be relieved, a large amount of new
bonds, subscribed for by holders of stock
and bonds of the Missouri Pacific, as well
as by others, and IS per cent. of the pur-
chase price was paid in. Before the Sec
ond installment was due it was discoV-
cred that the proposed issue was Illegal,
as il had not been authorized as provided
by the laws of Missouri, subsequently,
meeting WIS called and proper Ruthori-
cation given, and then we paid in % per
cent. more of the purchase money. NV,
when we have paid for the bonds IN full
we are told that work of engraving was
done SO poorly that they can't be listed
at the stock exchange, and we are thus
deprived of the market for our bonds,
and are forced TO let our investment be
idle. The expenditure of $500 more

ducing the stock exchange committee to
pass bonds, we are coolly informed that
II a sufficient number of bondholders
will sign a request TO have the bonds re-
engraved in conformity with the stock
exchange rules, the work will be done.
1t is simply an outrage to be treated in
this way, and TO be deprived of the use
of our money

had done for so many years.

more responsible and guilty than he is"
he said, in sobbing tones.
The father went away, and long dis
cussion followed. The medical experts
for the State mad received new light;
the next day the counsel were aston
ished at the change and unanimous
opinion of the State experts as to great
doubt of the full sanity of the prisoner.
The witnesses for the defense went on
| the stand with such confidence and tes-
titled so clearly that no amount of
cross-eXamination could destroy the
good impression produced. The ex-
perts for the State could give no aid to
counterfeit this view of disease and ir-
responsibility. The lawyers were as
| tonished, and finally concluded that the
medical men had been influenced or
bought up by the defense. The case
ended in a verdict of manslaughter and
the prisoner was sentenced to prison
for life. A few months later the pris-
oner died, and his brain revealed extern
sive disease which had been going on
for long time.
Recently this old-fashioned physician
and myself were associated in another
case, and in conversation he related the
| following: 1.-THE man whom we de-
| Tended had been from infancy an
idiotic dement,, with every symptom of
partial intoXication. He reflected the
exact state of his parents at the
time he was given being; the
intense sorrow and modification led
| them to conceal this fact as far as
possible. For over twenty years this
young man was the terrible skeleton
which haunted them continually. l
| early came into possession of this Sc
cret and helped the parents to conceal
it. On the trial the testimony of the
asylum physician was most to be dread
ed. This physician was man of firm
| theological convictions concerning
vice, and dreaded all innovations or
changes of theories. He also believed
in heredity. The question was to put
these facts Of heredity in some form SO
they could be Invested of all personality
and in this way reach this physician.
If his strong convictions of this prison
er's responsibility could be shaken the
case would be won. Sc l arranged with
the father to come in at the proper mo-
ment and make the statement of the
origin of the prisoners disorder, and
plead that he could be sent to prison
for life and not hung as a felon." Both
parents are dead, and a family of great
responsibility bear their name, and the
mystery of this criminal and the crime
is buried. The skeleton which came
into their home at the beginning re-
manned to the very close of life. Many
other homes are haunted in the same
way by those poor alcoholic dement's,
who represent the sins of the parents,
aud whose passage through life is a
night Journey, dark and fitfuL-T. D.

The Manufacture of Pearl Beads in the
Time of Louis QuatOrzc.
The pretty Duchess of Fife has been
photographed in evening dress with a
single string of pearls about her neck.
Tbere is somehow about this string Of
beads a singularly pure and girlish air,
and Il is the one necklace that is always
in good taste for young girl. As you
clasp the string of pearl beads about
vour own neck l wonder how many OF
Won uow of the romance connected with
thosewhich were first made?
Love, which governs all the world,
comes in this story. In the time OF
Louis XIV. there was a maker of pearl
rosarIes and necklaces who was famous
for tie exquisite beauty that he gave
them The ladies came from far and
nearto buy these wondrous beads, for
fromno one else could they be gotten.
Vainy did his rivals try to initiate the
perfect wilderness and polish of the
bead manufactured by him. With all
dreaied to sell his necklaces because Of
the loison (said to be mercury with
who he used to give Thorn their great
beauy. One day his son was astonisheC
to har him say, as he sold particularly
beautiful pearl rosary: Infamous mar
that am! May this crime be my last"
Son after war was declared between
Ice and Flanders, and the old man
pH4yery happy, because he thought no
more necklaces would be ordered. His
only ION was about to be married, and
the sweet little girl whom he had chosen
so pletse1 the father that he had said:
"Ask Of ne any thing, for am glad tc
have Sd sw9eta daughter" With great
glee she answered: so, father, make
for me one d those beautiful necklaces,
such as only you can make" The un.
happy man vas speechlcss with horror,
and WANDERED through the woods all
night wondering what in the world he
would do. Wien the daytime came he
threw himself on a bank beside the
water to rest, and there, floating on top,
was an iridescent substance, at which
he could not help but look; it seemed
so like his own pearls. He searched for
it and found that the effect was caused
by the scales of small whitefish. He
collected some, experimental with
them, and succeeded in producing with
them the whiteness and polish for
which he had formerly been forced tc
nse the poison. On the wedding day
he clasped around the neck of the
beautiful bride the handsomest string
of PEARLS that he had ever made, and as
he kissed her sweet, red lips he knew
he could be happy, for there was not a
particle of poison in them. The truth
of the story lies in the fact that to this
day jhe method of making pearl beads
| discovered by Martin Joaquin is still the
only one. So if you wear about your
necl a string of beads like that which
delighted the heart of the lovely Ur.
sula and if you have to thank tho man
for having invented a necklace free
iron faint of poison, you must remem
berthat he perhaps would never have
mae his great discovery if the within Of
a oman had not driven him to it.

HOW Lawyer Befriended Fair-mnded
Young Newspaper Man.
A Clark street lawyer (no name by re-
quest)-I used to practice in the police
courts when l was young man. One
day l had bad case. For that matter |
had number of such. But this was
particularly bad. There was reporter
who wrote it up. 1t was case in which
he might have roasted me if he had
chosen to do so, and 1 wouldn't have
blamed him. AS it was he did not neg
lect his duty. He referred to me in a
kindly manner. In after years, when 1
had quit such practice, had murder
case in the criminal court. Charley
case was a bad one, will admit. Grim
inal lawyers must have such cases. The
young man who had treated me so fair
ly in the police court case reported the
murder case, and again he treated me
in the fairest way. The time came
when / quit criminal practice. The re-
lief experienced when / realized that
in all probability 1 should never try a
criminal case again was like that which
comes to man when he comes out of a
nightmare. 1 became a corporation
counsel. One day a rich client came to
me and said he wanted to hire short
hand clerk and asked me to recommend
some one. l thought of the reporter
who had treated me with so much con.
sideration and hunted him up. He told
me he was stenographer and I secured
him the job. He kept it until his health
failed him and his employer sent him
away on vacation, paying his expen.
SEES. l think he went to Europe. When
he came back he was still unable ia
work. His employer let his salary 60
on, although the young man could do no
work, until the time came when he
didn't need any salary, and then his
funeral expenses were paid by his en-
ployer. He was buried in Graceland. A
neat shaft marks the spot where he
rests-erected by his kind-hearted en-
ployer. like to think of this story
and tell it sometimes when 1 hear peo-
pie talking about the hard hearted
world."-ChicaPo Tribune.
