FORTY DAYS.
How This Period Of Time Figures I'm Ancien,

How This Period Of Time Figures I'm Ancient
and Modern History.
Rev. Minot J. Savage.
The rain that produced the flood fell forty
DAYS and forty nights. After the rain had
ceased it was forty days before Noah opened
the ark. Moses was forty days in the mountain
fasting. Forty days was the period devoted
in ancient times to the embalming of the dead.
The spies spent forty days investigating Canaan
before they gave their report.
Elijah tasted forty days in the wilderness
after he had fed from the anger Of Jezebel, the
queen. Jonah gave the inhabitants of Nineveh
Just forty days in which to consider his
prophecy and repent. Jesus tasted forty DAYS
in the desert. In old English laws forty DAYS
has played an important part. Forty days is
the time for quarantine.
of her dead husband forty DAYS after his DEATH
stranger appearing in a parish was allowed
forty days before he must be enrolled as resid-
ing in some particular place.
The members of the parliament were exempt
from arrest forty days after the propagation of
parliament and forty days before it met again.
So the number forty has played an important
part in the traditions superstitions, the laws of
different peoples. In the middle ages forty was
period that was looked upon by old doctors
with superstitious regard, as a time when re-
place in their patients.
Among the alchemists forty days was looked
on as q charmed number, when, after certain
rites and ceremonies, at the expiration Of that
period the philosophers stone. or the elixir of
life, might appear.

POOLING THE EARNINGS.
An Address by Chairman Walker Of the
Western Traf1c Association.

An Address by Chairman Walker Of the
Western Traff1c Association.
Hon. A. F. Walker, chairman Of the Western
Traffic Association, delivered an address last
night before the Sunset Club in Chicago on the
subject Of the pooling of railway earnings,
which he claimed should be legalized.
$50 far as the railroads are concerned" said
Mr.. Walker, ''the objects of the pool are to
assist the roads in establishing and maintaining
just and reasonable rates for transpor tation.
Intelligent men engaged in furnishing trans
portation strongly desire to deal Justly with
the public, and the merely selfish interests Of
railway managers often appeal strongly in the
direction of lower rates. No method to develop
the resources of railroad is SO easy and SO
direct as to stimulate the planting of industries
and the growth OF towns by the reduction of
transportation charges.
The core of the whole matter is compe til
ton. Hence manufacturers seek to avoid ruin
by forming partnership corporations, syndi-
Gates, trusts. Laboring men endeavor to MAIN
tain the price of their labor by organizing
trades unions. Farmers have invented a gi-
gantic alliance. The railway pool is similar in
purpose. All are devices to ameliorate the
effects OF ruinous competition.
The pooling of railway earnings is tenn
porizing expedient, but it is the best known
resource for the preservation of the American
railway system. The re-establishment of the
pooling system would impart q new tone of
confidence in railway circles. The benefits
would extend to the price of all commodities
bought or sold in the public markets, and even
to the wages OF labor in the factory and the
mine"

The Startling Discovery Drove q Couple to
Suicide.
A special telegram to the Philadelphia Times
from Halifax, N. s., says: From the little town
OF Newport. on Avon river, rear Windsor, comes
the story of an unusual tragedy. Three days
ago the dead body Of Mrs. Madeline Duval, the
pretty young wife of Lucien Duval, was found
in the river. The remains were taken home
and search was instituted for her husband. who
was found wandering aimlessly in the woods
about mile from his home, evidently half de-
mented. 1t was Immediately supposed that he
was responsible for his wife's death and a watch
was placed upon him. During the funeral
obsequies he eluded his keepers and fed. The
same evening his body was found hanging in
the barn.
letter was found in his pocket stating that
ever since his marriage b, had been endeavor-
ing to ascertain who his wife's parents WERE
she being an adopted child. and about week
before he had made the awful discovery that
his wife was no less person than his own
sister. 1t appeared that his mother and father
had separated. The latter went to Prince
Edward Island, taking the son with him.
After the separation the daughter, Madeline,
was born. The mother, too proud to ask help
of the father, never told him of the birth. The
girl was adopted and brought to Newport,
where Duval married her. They were over
come with horror at the discovery. Mrs. Duval
evidently became insane and committed
suicide, and remorse drove Duval to the same
end. They were buried together yesterday.

The movement against the gamblers at Glou-

Philadelphia newspapers. has, it is claimed, re-
suited in the prospective voluntary abandon
ment Of the field by the gamblers. The Inquirer
says: "When Sunday comes Gloucester will
therefore present a wonderful transformation.
The gambling on that Gay within as well as the
gambling on other days without will have
stopped. Faro and roulette, with poker and all
the side plays, have already stopped. There

things have been running too strong. There
should have been a lull now and then since the

q constant drain upon Philadelphia and such
uninterrupted opportunity for men and boys
to drop their money. But it was q grab-all
with some people and now we're all left Just at

ut is said that it cost 81 900 a day to run the

The Canadian Delegates Mission.

In an interview Mr.. MERCER, the Canadian
delegate to Paris, yesterday explained the OBJ

law. He aimed to negotiate loan of sl2, 600, 900
for the conversion of the internal debt and the
development of railways and other resources
He would study the beet sugar industry in
Belgium and Germany in order to apply the

suit the French government. and the French
chamber of commerce i'll regard to the ex-
change of French wines for Canadian timber.
He had contracted with the Societe Hippique
to export to France horses bred in Canada in
exchange foc French stations. He looked for
closer commercial bonds between Canada and
France. Far-seeing Canadians considered the
Mckinley Law a blessing. as it tended to assist
the dominion in achieving complete CONNER

in the future Canada would perhaps attain in
dependence by pacific agreement with
England. No serious Canadian ever dreamed
of annexation to America. English papers
which presumed the existence OF an annexation
party Ill Canada talked without knowledge.

The police of Brooklyn have under investiga-
ton what is either case of attempted suicide or
attempted murder. The victim is Mrs Lydia
Marquette, French Canadian lady, who re-
sides on the second floor Of No. 81 Willow place
and is suffering from cancer. She owns the
house in which she lives and also owns prop
erty in Flatbush and other places. Two years
ago Mrs. Marquette sent for her niece. Angus
tine D'Arguy, to come and live with her. This
young lady slept with her aunt, but Wednesday
night and shortly before l o'clock yesterday
morning discovered her aunt lying on the door
of her room with her throat cut. She says
that at first she thought some one had muir
dered her aunt. Help secured and DIR.
Dudley sent the injured woman to hospital.
An examination OF the premises disclosed
pool of blood in the rear areaway and a trail
from this up the stairway to Mrs. Marquette's
ROOM Nothing YVES taken from the house, and
neither razor nor knife with which the cutting
could have been done was found. It is said
that Mrs Marquette publishes a ladies' fashion
journal. coroner will take the woman's
ante-mortem statement.
