Plans for Parliament

The British parliament will be prorogued
August 6. This is the official arrangement
which resulted from an agreement between the
government and the opposition whips after the
latter had communicated with their leaders
with reference to their policy upon the re-
naming bills of the session. vigorous effort
will be made in committee on the education
bill to extend the operation of the measure. A
strong section of the radicals will fight for an
amendment giving ratepayers local control.
But the progress of the bill generally will be
accelerated by the liberal acquiescence in its
main principles The members long for spell
of rest before beginning the election CAM
paign. Local party managers have received
authentic instructions to prepare for dissolu-
ton early next summer. The government in
tends to summon the house early in January
and stake their fate on the Irish local govern
ment bill, and they calculate to dissolve parlia-
ment after carrying the bill The conservative
uncertainty over the future Of the party is
leading to further refusals by present members
to recontest their seats, and within the minis
istry itself discomfort is producing disorganiza-
ton.

An Estate Valued at 100000 in Litigation
in Louisiana.
About year ago Bertrand Saloy Of New Or
leans died. leaving an estate valued at 500 0OO,
which he willed to his wife, Carmelie Garcagno
About three months ago Saloy's widow died and
the estate was claimed by her sisters and
brothers and their descendants, and they were
put in possession by order of the court.
Yesterday in the civil district court Attorney
General Rogers and Associate Counsel Girault
Farrar and Wynne Rogers filed a petition of
Intervention on behalf Of the state of Louisiana
which claims to be the sole heir Of theswidow of
Bertrand Saloy, and praying for an injunction
against the administrators of the estate and the
parties who have been recently recognized by
this court as'heirs. enjoining each Of them from
IN any manner parting with, disposing of, con-
cealing, paving out or apportioning any OF the
property OF the succession.
The state alleges that Carmelie Garcagno,
widow Of Bertrand Saloy, was an illegi.imate
offspring Of Dolores Morales, alias Manuella
Louisa Morales, and Antonio Garcagno, late a
resident Of New Orleans, now deceased. The
state also alleges that during the existence of
the lawful marriage of Mrs. Saloy' mother with
her lawful husband, Juan Cortal or Estal, who
lived in Havana, she (the mother) had been
guilty Of adultery with Garcagno in New
Orleanl, and that said Mrs. Bertrand Saloy and
one Carmelie Garcagno, now widow Of Antoine
Poins, and Antonio Garcagno, now deceased,
were the fruit Of that relation, and, not being
legal or lawful descendants, their descendants
have been put in possession illegally, and for
tlese reasons the state is the only heir-at-law.
Petitioner shows that when the administrator
| of the state were appointed by the court there
had not come to their knowledge or that Of the
attorney general these facts.

THE AMERICAN HEBREWS.
Plans for Celebrating Their Four Hundred
Years in This Country.

Plans for Celebrating Their Four Hundred
Years in This Country.
meeting was held during the past week in
the New York synagogue on West 10Th street to
take action for a coming participation in the
approaching quadri-centennial of the Hebrews
Of this country as a race and as Americans.
Among other things the call for the meeting
declares:
"As Americans we will, of course, join with
heart and soul in the rejoicings of our fellow
citizens for the country's prosperity.
But it is proposed that, as Hebrews, we
make demonstration in a tangible form.
First, in recognition OF the blessings we enjoy
in this land, because such action can but at
tract the attention of anti-Semitic legislators in
other lands to the contrast between their
Hebrew subjects and the Hebrews Of America.
This, coupled with the fact that Hebrew integ-
rity. energy and enterprise so powerfully con-
tribute to American prosperity. may awaken
those potentates and legislators to a wider,
nobler. more generous policy toward our
brethren in their domain"
The call was signed by sixty prominent gen.
tlemen from the leading cities Of this country.
BY resolution the matter OF plan was referred
to committee o: twenty-one to be appointed
by Mr.. A. 5. Solomons, the chairman.
PROJECTS IN VIEW.

view of carrying out the ideas embodied in the
call for the meeting were the following:

A SOCIETY has been formed in Eng
land to abolish capital punishment for
women convicted for murder, just
how it would punish mugderesses is
not easily to be seen. To condemn
them TO solitary confinement or to
herd them together without the privi-
lego of speaking would be as deadly
as the rope, and If herded together
with the privilege OF speech they
would talk each other to death. Real
ly the object of the society seems
visionary.

THE price of farm lands in most
sections OF the country is now so low
that they are a better purchase than
city property, which has almost every
where been doomed far above its act
ual value. Many cities which are
growing rapidly are so heavily in debt
that their future is very doubtful.
When a man buys farm property he
knows exactly what encumbrances
are on it for he places them himself.
There is very little township indebted
ness, and this is what is turning the
thoughts of shrewd capitalists to pro-
perry in farms as the safest now Of
cred.

The Palace and Bones OF Pizarro.

One of the earliest viccroys erected
the enormous cathedral that faces one
side of this plaza, with its facade
painted red and yellow, its three green
doors. and tower nj each angle. For
nearly three centuries its affairs were
burdened with gold and silver aud
jeweIed articles of church service aud
ornament. until n few years ago. when
most of its treasures were apprOpri-
ated and converted into money by a
needy republican government.
In its dark crypt is the stone coffin
OF Pizarro. the conqneror. and another
containing the remains OF his rascally
relative, GonZalo PiZarro. The enter
prising tourist may go down and ex-
plore the grewsomo place by the dim
flicker of tallow dip. and, If he Is
curiously enough inclined. by the pay
nient of moderate sum to the sacriS-
tan, the stone cover will be removed
from the more important coffin and
the crumbling bones of the great con-
quistador exposed to view.
Another side Of the same square is
occupied by rather mean-looking
building with small shops beneath it,,
which is no less than the old palace
where Pizarro ruled with high hnnd
during his brief day here. aud where
he was assassinated by the men OF
Chilla," who appointed themselves the
avengers of Almagro's murder. Its
upper part still serves rs a government
'.palacio" and is occupied by various
officers OF the new regime.

By success or failure in life it is not
meant that every person must reach
the maximum OF the one or the utter
hopelessness of the other. 1t is not to
be expected that every man is to be a
Shakespeare, Goethe, a Newton, a
Lincoln or an Edison, and if he is not
that his life must be set down as a
failure. That man is failure, how
ever: who. at the close OF the journey
finds himself worse Off than he was at

The Origin OF Death.

Lecky. the historian. says geology
has cOnclusivelv djsproved what was
once the universal belief concerning
the origin of death. That this fearful
calamity appeared in the universe ON
account Of the transgression of man;
that every pang that convulses the
frame of any created being. every
passion or instinct or necessity that
contributes to the iphiction of suffer-
ing, is hut the fruit of the disobedience

fatering assurance. and is even now

eel as altogether uneducated. And this
general proposition became great

countless congcnital beliefs were
formed. first principle or measure

sitions of men In all their inquiries. If
all death and all pain resulted from the
sin of Adam, it WAS natural 10
give every particular instance OF
death or pain special Specification;
and If these the greatest of terrestrial
imperfections were connected with the
history of man. 1t was natural to be-
lieve that all minor evils were no less
So. But geology has now proved de-
cisively that Il profound error turks in
these conclusions. 1t has proved that
countless ages before man trod this
earth death ragged and reveled among
its occupants; that it so entered into
the original constitution of things that
the agony and inllrmity IL implies were
known as at present when the mastO-
don aud the dinothrrium were the rulers
of the world. To deny this is now iln-
possible; To admit il is to abandon one
of the root doctrines of the past.
