UncrOwncd HerOineS,

The last story told you also leads me to a
point ON which altogether too olittle is said or
written, and that is-the modern tendency to
belittle or deride those women who 20
through life, unmarried; or as the world
calls them, "Old maids,' There are 10y far
too many careless jests made of this class OF
women, says writer in the Ladies' Home
journal. In the minds of many it seems
settled fact that because a woman reaches
the age of forty fifty or sixty unmarried
that at some time in her early life she was
the victim of either disappointed love or un.
reciprocatcd affection. This is common
mistake, as thousands of instances, both in
history and in our ry-day life can prove.
There are hundreds of women to-day who
have never married because OF some special
mission in life, either in their own families
or to the world at large which they felt they
could better accomplish III untrammclcd by
domestic cares. BY their self sacrifice these
women are heroines and the very last per-
son on Gods foOtstoOl Of whom Jest should be
made. Two of the sweetest women who
have ever honored me with their friendship
and with whom, to come in contact
is like "a bcncdiction of good
ness and grace, are addressed
by the title of "mss' From their life-his-
tories have ] drawn many a lesson; and TO
the sweet fragrance of their lives is due many
gracious act of charity, and many harsh
word has been left unsaid, Should such
women be ridiculed All, no let US rather be
the scholars of their teachings, adapting tho
lessons they can often give us TO our own
lives. You and ! may believe that il is for
the greatest happiness of all women that they
should marry; but that it is no reason why
we should not respect those who by their
lives show that they have decided otherwise
Some Of the noblcst women OF the past whose
very names recall the greatest triumphs in
the worlds history, never married, and It
needs no stretch Of the imagination TO believe
that as good and great women arc living
right among US today as have ever figured in
history. There are countless families today
who viii lose their brightest and most COM
fortiug members when the breath of her who
never uttered the marriage VOW, returns to
its maker. Angels Of comfort are these 'old
maidsn OF American homes, every day Of
their lives teaching us anew some Obe trait
OF selfsacrihcing and ever gloriou Voman-
hood.

Horrible a fair Mt Boston Caused by n
Husbands Jealousy.
BosToN, MASS, March 21.--Charles
Kershaw, an Englishman, aged 50
years, made desperate by jealousy, last
night murdered his young wife in cold
blood at their home, No. 81 Melrose
street, in the South End. They were
poor, but respectable. The husband, a
morose, reserved man, was never popu-
lar, but his wife, twenty-five years
younger, was vivacious and liked COM
pany. Kershaw disliked this, but was
particularly jealous Of one of the male
boarders in the Melrose House.
lie came home after hearing a scandal
about his wife which maddened him.
He found her lying on the bed, half
dressed, reading, the days washing ly-
ing in the kitchen neglected. He
ordered her to rise and clean things up.
She said she would when she was
ready. He TUNED away, saying, all
right, he would shave himself, and got
cut his razor and mug.
The former he sharpened, and, step
ping across the room, suddenly pounced
upon the PROSTATE woman, and, forcing
her head back, cut her throat clear To
the spinal column. She did not scream
but in the struggle all her clothing was
torn OFF. The murderer left the room,
and, going to that Of fellow boardei
named Charles Lovett, coolly said he
had killed his wife. Lovett, an ex
policeman, carried the assassin to the
station house, when he confessed the
crime, saying he was glad, and CAV,
the above details.

''In the absence of the big chief, Richard

Irish-born American citizen to come back

That paragraph is in very bad taste.
This country was carried through the
Revolution by tinancier who was Of for
eign birth. Our Secretary of the Treas
ury during the war of IL was of foreign
birth. 1t has been claimed with at least
some show of plausibility that two OF
our Presidents were of foreign birth.
Moreover, the Press was started by an
editor who was of foreign birth, aud
some at least of its stockholders are OF

1t seems that the Sheriff of New

The officials of the District of Colum-
bia sinking fund and funded debt
Office, in the Treasury building, called
the attention of CRITIC reporter this
afternoon to the immediate necessity OF
Congress providing for the refunding of
the District 6 and Z per cent. permanent
Improvement bonds. AS yet Congress
has made no move in this
direction, and the above officials
contend that action should be taken at
once, as the refunding must be done
during the present session, and the act
Of refunding requires considerable time
and detail
On July I, 1891, the following bonds
will be payable; Six per cent. perma-
nent improvement bonds, $2,SSG $50;
per cent. permanent improvement
bonds, S443, 000-a total of SO, $50 800.
The balances uninvested from the
several sinking funds at the close Of the
year 1899, aggregate $l3. 3.G50.40. The
sinking funds were established on the
basis Of an increase of 365 per cent
per annum, and. if this increase is main.
tained, the sinking fund will be:
For fiscal year 1890, $310. 54G.6S;
for 1891, 1898, ,40013. Totals
for investment to close of fiscal year
1891, SS16, ,G06,21. 1t therefore ap-
pears, even If the whole amount could
be invested in the bonds maturing in
1891. there would remain at that time
over 81, 500, 900 in maturing bonds to be
refunded or otherwise provided for.
To provide for the refunding of
these bonds the Treasury officials rec
ommend that Congress authorize the
issue of registered bonds bearing inter
est, payable semi-annually, not to eX-
ceed per cent, per annum, bonds TO be
rcemed at pleasure after two years and

same manner as United States bonds are

GROVER CLEVELAND WANTED.
The Ex- President and the Ballot 30!
estiCatiOn

The EX-President ana the Ballot BOX
Investigation.
General Grosvenor will request Chair
man Spooner to call eXPresident Cleve-
land in the ballot-boX Investigation,
says the Washington correspondent of
the New York Horuld. This is because
of the publication of the statement that
Governor Campbell when in Congress
called on President Cleveland and
urged him in the interest of promoting
pure elections to use his influence with
those moving the tariff bill in the House
to give way long enough to allow the
passage of the Wood Ballot Box bill.
1t has not been formally decided to
summon the eX-President, but Gen
eral Grosvenor insists that, unless it is
done, there will always be an oppor-
tunity for those who chose to insist
that the investigation was not thorough,
and that, if Mr.. Cleveland had testi-
fed, ii would have disclosed Governor
Campbells active, personal interest in
the ballot-boX scheme.
1t Is question, even if Mr. Cleye-
land were called, whether he would be
obliged to answer or not. Still, under
the circumstances, he would probably
yield the point in order, since re.
fusal might be wrongly construed to
be means of shielding Governor
Campbell
According to the statement Of Mr.
Alphonzo Hart, Solicitor of Internal
Revenue. TO his friend the gentleman
who approached him in regard to the
Ballot Box bill was Mr.. e. G. Bush of
Cincinnati. Mr.. Hart says that after
the election to the Forty eighth Con.
gress he was in Cincinnati, and while
there Mr.. Bush met him and said there
had been an excellent ballot box in
vented there and a bill providing for
its use would likely come before Con
| gress. Mr.. Bush urged Mr. Hart to
| take an interest in the matter.
General Cogswell of Massachusetts,
Of the committee, desires to have sum-
moned some gentleman in Cincinnati,
whose name he has, who, it is claimed
by his informants, knew of Governor
Foraker having the alleged contract and
! advised him not to have 1t published.
General Cogswell gives no more definite
statement about his witness on the testi-
mony he expects from him than this.

THAT MARYLAND pErAuLrER.

7 lie State Treasurer of Maryland is
said TO have hypothecated State securi-
lies TO obtain private loans. The Comp
troller learned the fact and communi-
Gated it to the Governor. who, in
turn. laid the Comptrollers letter be-
fore the Legislature.
As usual in such cases the Treasurer,
Stephenson Archer, belongs to an old
and honored family, possessed much per
sOnal popularity, and was respected by
all who knew him, lie has served in
Congress and has been three times State
Treasurer, the present Legislature hav-
ing reelected him, He is 81 years old
and a resident Of Bclair.
Yet even these circumstances hardly
seem to warrant the lachrymose sym
pathy Of the Legislature, as described
by our esteemed morning contemporary.
When the Comptroller letter was read
in that body, according to this account,
members fell back in their seats
speechless, and there were seen
Strong men crying like children.
At the executive mansion "the Comp
troIler paced the floor and wrung his
hands, and he could not control his
feeling (sic) enough to give clear state
ment." In short according to this cor
respondent the legislators and eXecu-
tive officers of Maryland acted like d
lot of hysterical women who discover
mouse in the room.
The affair is quite serious enough
without making the officials, who viii
have TO deal with it, appear ridiculous
in the public eyes. Without further
particulars, we can only hope that the
speechless members of the Legislature
have recovered their voices. the crying
members regained control of their lacry
NAL ducts, and that the Comptrollel
has quit the vain wringing Of his hands
and that his feeling" is so restored as

THE SMELLING COMMITTEES.
Mr.. Do1ph Will he Deserted by His
EelloM Senators.

The Dolph smelling committee is
about TO bring a report into the Senate
which will review the testimony taken
in the search for leaks through which
executive session proceedings reach the
public, says the Washington CORE
spondent Of the New York Sun. The
committee has been quiet for the past
few weeks, and it is intimated that this
inactivity is but the usual calm that pre-
cedes storm. This is construed to
mean that the committee has agreed
upon resolution declaring the newspa.
per correspondent who recently OBJ.
tained and published a copy of the Brit
ish eXtradition treaty TO be in contempt.
The Senate will be asked to place him
under arrest until he shall divulge the
names of the person or persons from
whom he received the treaty.
From inquiry among the Senators it
is learned that if such a resolution be
brought into the Senate it will prob
ably be defeated. The Senate has been
defeated in this game before, and the
older heads who remember how help
less they were in attempting to force
men TO reveal their private affairs are
not anxious for repetition of their eX-
perience.
Several years ago two correspondents
were arrested for the very same offense
that is causing the Dolph committee so
much trouble. They were imprisoned
/ for a long time, during which they lived
on the fat Of the land and had their
salaries doubled. They still refused to
| give any information to the Senate, and
/ were released because there was no law
| compelling them to do so. Since that
I time a real estate dealer Of Washington
was arrested and imprisoned because he
! would not give up the contents of his
/ private ledger. He sued the Govern
ment for $25, 900 damages, and got It,
The Senators do not mean to allow Mr..
Dolph to get them into another trap Of
/ this kind The chief smeller, however,
feels that he must make a show to com.
! pensate for the long and expensive in
vestigation which he has carried on.
Early in the proceedings he found
out TO his satisfaction and that of his
colleagues on the committee Just how
executive proceedings reach the public,
but for obvious reasons he does not care
to give the results Of his inquiry TO the
Senate. lie will, therefore, It is re-
ported, attempt TO hoodwink the people
by makinga scapegoat Of the newspaper
correspondents for having done the
meritOrious act Of printing the English
