GLADYS COOSE-ECC|
Her Suit Against Hurlbert Defeated
by the Jury.
MRS. HURLBERI CREAIES A SCENE
she Arises Daring the Jadges Charge
and Protests Against the severity ef
His Language 10 the Jary Great
ink GreAt kAeitsmsaS.

LONDON, April 20.-ln the case Of
Miss Gladys Evelyn against William
Henry Hurloert . verdict Was given to-
day in favor of the defendant. During
the summing up there was . startling
scene. Mrs. Hurlbert, wife of the de-
fendant. was present, and At one point
where the judge Was particularly severe
cried out:
"My lord, l cannot listen to pack of
hes"
Mrs. Hurlbert, amid much excite
ment, Was conducted from the court
room.
The verdict is generally approved in
London. The character OF the woman,
| As appears from her own diary and her
admitted relations with Jackson, would
make any average English or American
jury give a verdict against her on such
complaint. Hurlbert comes out OF
the case damaged in reputation, but
the question which the jury had to de-
eide was not whether or not he carried
on an intrigue with this woman, but
whether he betrayed her under prom
ise OF marriage. The jury did not be-
lieve the evidence adduced TO prove
that he had.
Mr. Huribert's Double
The shadowy private secretary, "Wil-
frid Murray" has made the ex editor
of the New York World the laughing
stock of the London club. Nobody has
ever seen him and his supposed resem-
blance IN personal appearance TO the
defendant is as remarkable as the fact
that he wrote exactly the same hand,
although using lees classical English.
Red Jim" McDermott,- the irish IN
former, was supposed for time to he
the man hut that worthy publishes alet-
ter denying that he knows Gladys and
saying that he has not seen Hurlbert
TOR many years and never on this side
of the Atlantic. The emphasis OF the
spy s assertion on tins point has pecu-
liar significance. The reckless swear
ing of the woman and her bad arrange-
ment OF dates did more 10 influence
the jury against her than all the EVIL
dence for the defence.
How Gladys Was Dressed.
Gladys Evelyn sued Mr.. Hurlbert for
breach of promise of marriage, alleging
that the defendant betrayed snd then
abandoned her. She alleged that she
| first met him in a London omnibus,
| that ne followed her and thus made her
acquaintance. Then she says he called
upon her and after a brief acquaint-
ance proposed marriage and was
accepted. When she became preg-
nant she alleges that he sent her
away from her friends to be confined.
Poverty was, according to her, the ex-
cnse he pleaded for Tor delaying the n mar. A..
to have euffered great privation and
| only met him again by accident on the
street. She tracked him to his resi-
dence and then on inquiry learned that
! his name was Hurlbert and not Wilfred.
Murray, as he had always claimed.
| She also swore that it was only then
she discovered that he was married
man.

PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES.

Congress meets in lees than sixty days
and very soon thereafter the presidential
campaign pot will begin simmering. The
result of Tuesdays elections would seem
to Indicate that the Democracy will be
forced to pay tribute to New York again
in selecting the head of their ticket and
that they are Gin box" seems equally
apparent. Hill is the real head and FROM
of Tammany and it seems impossible that
the Democratic masses of the west and
south will submit to taking hand in
Matchmaking the vicious rule of that thiev-
ing organization. The voters of these sec
tons will also fail to give Cleveland any
thing like their heartiest support because
of his antagonism for silver as money.
Flower nor Russell are scarcely to be
counted as possibilities, and if either Hill
or Cleveland receive the nomination it
will place the Democrats outside OF the
Wall street influence at very great dis
advantag
On the other hand it becomes more
apparent daily that either Mr.. Harrison
or Mr.. Blaine will be given the head of
the Republican ticket. The former has
the advantage of being western man
who has made an excellent president ;
who may be counted safe man, and who
has the confidence of the people of all
sections, including those OF the south. Ii
renominated there seems scarcely doubt
of his reelection, particularly since there
turns out to be absolutely nothing at the
bottom of the socalled Peoples party
movement. Then as for Mr.. Blaine, I'M
questonably he is the NEST popular man
in public life to-day. People scarcely any
longer consider where the great premier s
home is; they have forgotten that it is
away off in Maine. He is also nearer the
people than any other man, and that he
is an American citizen with special llk-
ing for the people OF those hitherto
neglected regions, the south and west, is
quite enough. He may receive the nomi-
nationwide knows? Indeed, it looks
more like Blaine than ever, and the
splendid service he has rendered the
country will make it simply impossible to
defeat him Blaine can carry New York
to-day and with the vests gallant McKin-
ley for ce-president would make such a
nrasidential race az the nation has never
witnessed.

THE REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF THE
GENERAL LAND OFFICE.

The report sets forth in striking man
ner the contrast between the liberal
treatment which settlers have received
during the present administration and
the attitude of the land officers few years
ago who acted upon the assumption that
every one making home upon the pub
lie lands was trying to defraud the gov
eminent.
The report gives much attention to the
interests of New Mexico, quoting several
pages from the annual report of Surveyor
General Hobart. 1t copies the map Of
lands near Santa Fe by which he illus
trated the necessity of further legislation
to protect the rights Of holders of small
strips of land and makes the very i'm
portant recommendation that: "Proper
provision should be made for surveying
such iyregularly. shaped claims, not ex.
ceeding 100 acres, as embrace lands al
ready surveyed by the United States
under the rectangular system, and for
the closing of the lines of the public sur
veys upon such claims"

of the government land is situated. 1t it
gratifying, therefore, to notice that the
sentiment of the people of the west is in
favor of Withdrawing var ious tracts OF
timber from disposition under the public
land laws. Several large reservations of
this sort have been under consideration.
One of them, known as the Flathead res
ervation, comprises about 1000 square
miles. on the continental divide in Mon
tana. Another lies on the western slope
of the Sierra Nevada mountains, of about
the same size as the one just named, and
including the country in which the head
waters of the San Joa quin lie. Another
is situated in Minnesota, including within
its limits the headwaters of the Missis.
sippi. Still another Is the much talked
about White river reser walton in western
Colorado.
All of these forests are OF great i'm
portance because many large streams rise
within their limits. If the timber should
be destroyed the result would be seen in
an irregular flow OF these streams. In
stead of that flow being uniform, there
would at times be great floods followed
by scarcity of water. Experience long
formitv in the flow of stream If the
country through which it passes is strip
ped of its forests.
1t is of the utmost Importance that the
forests which exist should be preserved,
for it will be long time before the sent-
ment of this country will be educated up
to forest planting and culture. Men may
he induced to preserve forests which
nature has planted, but they will never
be induced to plant forests until they find
direct profit in the sale of timber.
They will not plant forests for the sake
of the general benefit which vast tracts
of timber confer. Hence the setting
apart of these timber reservations should
be indorsed by the intelligent people of
all parts of the country. Repub-
lican.

NO CONVICT LABOR WANTED.

THE Tennessee coal miners are strong
or than the state government and in this
instance they ought to be. The employ
ment of convict labor in coal mines is
barbarity and brutality. Convict labor
should not come into competition with
free labor in Tennessee or elsewhere,
Just because U. S. Senator B-ice and his
rich partners want it. Labor has rights
that capital ought to respect, even il
represented by Democratic United
States senator. 1t will be well for capital
to heed the rights of the laboring man.
