Widows as privileged class are
known only in Europe and America.
In Asia they have hard time OF it,
Among the Hindoos every misfortune

misdeeds in the former state OF exist.
ence, and as the loss OF husband is
great misfortune, it is supposed by
both the sufferer and the public that
the wife has done something to dc
serve the punishment.
Her friends and relatives proceed to
further the designs OF Providence by
adding to her woe every possible in
dignity. Her head is shaved, she il
allowed only the poorest food and
clothes, and is forced to devote her
time to mental services. Even when
a sufficient property in her own right
rescues her from some OF these dis
comforts, the disgrace and obloquy
attached to her position make her
lot almost unbearable.

Timon is meant to represent himself,

had been the only speaker, aud the
sentiment to which he responded was;
"Our Country's Prosperity Dependent
Upon It's Instruments Of Commerce.
In the early part OF the evening the
members OF the Board of Trade and
Transportation gathered in the recep-
tion parlors OF Delmonico's and well
coined the guests and friends who had
come from near and far. Perhaps the
most prominent were Secretaries
Window and Tracy OF the treasury and
navy respectively. Nova Scotia had
a representative among those present
in the person OF her attorney general,
Mr.. Longley. Canada, too, was
there in the person Of Hon. MILFORD
Laurier. Mr.. Window, dignified of
mien AS usual, was apparently in
perfect health. All formed jolly
procession to the banquet hall, whero
tho members and guests were
seated. the members at tho tables
upon the floor, aud the guests at u
long table upon u raised platform.
The aged Captain Ambrose Snow,
president OF the board, was in the
center place. At his right he seated
Mr.. Window, and upon his left Mr..
Bayard.
The dinner was completed just after
3 O'clock and MIR. Window, introduced
by Judge Armour, responded to the
toast, "Our Country's prosperity De.

at $3.50 o'clock. II had been remarked
he was reading OF hurriedly from a
printed copy, going faster and faster
as he neared the end, and at last he had
requested the audience not to applaud.
He finished his speech and soon after

that Secretary Window. whom they

This was the fearful announcement
that was uttered in a voice midway
between sob and whisper.
Through that gaily- bedeoked ban
quet hall, around which still hung the
funeral PAIL smoke OF after.dinner
cigars, swept the words: "He Is dead"
The words went to the heart OF every
man who heard them. They could
hardly believe that the brilliant orator
OF few moments before. aglow with
enthusiasm, predicting the future
policy in this treasury, was now only
inanimate clay. His voice was for
ever silenced, and the last words were
for HIS country.
