What the People Saying.

The people would like to see q
city bond statement. What was done
with the last issue of $3.50, 900, were
they sold, and to whom and at what
premium? What has become of the
money, etc?
There is a rumOr, a common, OUT
door, street rumor, one of those ugly
rumors, that gathers hardness trouI
the sidewalks, and toughness from
common contact and association with
the G mmOn people who believe in
the lin unvarnished truth, that our
last issue of city bonds did not real
ize, as required by the charter, par.
This common, plebian, sidewalk,
street corner rumOr, goes to the effect
that al offer of par was made and re-
fused, and that the bonds were sold
for par, hut that five per cent was al
lowed as Commission"
In other words, that SIS, 900 com
M ssion vas divided up somewhere.
How important, then that there
should be a bond statement. Giving
10 detail how, when, where, to whom
the bonds were sold. How much
they were sold for; who got the con
mission, etc.
1t may look very wrong, impru.
dent and decidedly uncomfortable for
a newspaper to be calling attention to
these things, but are they not public
matters, and don't they belong TO the
people?

Test This, Everybody.

The Listener observed very curious
and interesting thing the other night.
He had occasion to wait for an evening
train in the Columbus avenue station.
AS he entered and sat down there were
already eight men and two women sit
ting on the benches, and. having moth
ing better to do, the Listener noticed that
every one of the men had his leg crossed
over his right knee, while it was suffi-
GENTLY apparent that in the case of the
two ladies this state of things was ex-
actly reversed. AS the Listener was
meditating upon the reason for this
curious circumstance, lady and gentle
man entered and sat down; and i'm
mediately the gentleman put his left leg
over his right knee, while the lady
Joined her sisters in the room in exactly
the same attitude. By and by more men
came, and more; and every one of them
put his left leg over his right knee, un-
til there were actually II men sitting in
that position in the little waiting room.
Only one more lady came, but she, too,
followed exactly the example of the
other women. Seventeen men and four
women in one room, all with one knee
over the other, but the women's and
mems crossed in reversed directions. Is
there any Psychologist who can explain
why this should be so?-[Boston Tran

The Dsrk Days Before France.

Senator Barthelmyst Hilare, minister
of French foreign affairs, in a recent
speech said that France was spending
10000 francs for every / ZOO, 900 francs
of income, and this process, he said, has
been going on for years. "The upshot of
the whole matter" he said, @must be-
that we shall have to repudiate our debt
as we did in the first revolution and start
afresh." Referring to the American re-
public, he said: II greatly admire the
magnificent manner in which the United
States has gone on paying off its tremen-
dous debt contracted during the gigantic
civil war. We ought to initiate in a
modest way the American example. But
several circumstances oppose this. In
the first place, the wastefulness of our
great departments of government is some.
thing frightful. Whileit can not be said
that there is any outright stealing of the
public funds, the extravagance is tremen-
dous and no government dsres incur the
danger of the politicians in cleaning out
this augean stable" Referring to the
expenses of the vast military system, he
said: I'VE try to stop this suicidal
financial policy. We can not reduce our
army, for there stands that Alsace- Lor-
raine difficulty still undecided. What
an objectionable sin it was for Germany
to take those provinces. We would have
willingly paid many more millions of
francs could we have preserved our terri
rory intact. But France will never
abandon Alsace-L Lorraine without strug-
lie. which, when it comes, will be
deadly one. France must win or be
"ffaced from the map Of Europe, like
poland. She will fight to the last man,
,or she will see that her very existence as
a nation depends on victory, and if she
comes off victor in what an exhausted
state she will probably be left. Then the
ordinary financial situation, rendered
still more oppressive by the increased ex-
penditures Of the supreme struggle, win
weigh down upon the bleeding nation
and bankruptcy will then be inevitable.

GENERAL GRAHAM DISMISSED.
Governor Bulkeley Has Relieved Hin
'for the Benefit OF tho Service"

Governor Bulkeley Has Relieved Him
"for the Benefit OF tho Service"
HARTFORD, July 3-Something of q
sensation has been created in military
circles by an order issued by Governor
Bulkeley directing the dismissal of Briga-
dier General Graham, of the militia, from
the military service of the state for the
benefit Of the service. The words 'for the
benefit of the service" are seldom used,
and only in cases where the person whose
services are being dispensed with has been
guilty of some grave offense such as dis
honesty or drunkenness, hence the sensa-
ton. General Graham was relieved from
the command of the militia about year
ago by Governor Bulkeley, who at that
time gave him an honorable discharge
The senate reinstated him and removed
Colonel Thomas l.. Watson, who was ap-
pointed his successor. The latter is again
appointed to the position of brigadier gen.
eral by Governor Bulkeley. This makes a
direct issue between the governor and the
senate as to their respective authorities.

HANNIBAL HAMLlN DEAD.

Abraham Lincoin's Associate in ONCE
Expires Suddenly.
BANGOR, Me, July 6-Ex-Vice Presi-
dent Hannibal Hamlin died at 6:15 p m.
in the rooms of the Tarrantine club in this
city. During the afternoon Mr.. Hamlin
visited the club rooms and engaged in q
game of pedro with several other gentle
men. Suddenly his head fell forward on
his chest. Those present Immediately ran
to his assistance and he was removed to q
lounge and his family and physicians sent
for. After an hours work by the doctors
he was somewhat revived and managed to
articulate in feeble manner. After this
slight rally he relapsed into unconscious
ness again, in which state he remained
until his death occurred. Mrs. Hamin,
General Charles Hamlin, his son and wife,
and other members Of his family were at
his side when he passed away. Mr.. Ham
lin has been perceptibly failing for year
past, but appeared about as usual in the
afternoon when he walked down town to
his club.
Hannibal Hamlin was born in Paris, Ok
ford county, Me-, on Aug. "a, 1909 He
was prepared for college, but owing to the
death of his father was compelled to aban-
don his plans and take charge of the farm.
the study of law, and in 1888 was admitted
to the bar. In 1886 and in 1s4O he was a
member Of the legislature, and in 1s40 was
nominated by the Democrats for congress.
Again, in lS42 he was placed in nomina-
tion. This time he was elected, and was
reelected two years later.
In lS4S he was chosen for four year
term in the senate, but resigned in 1857,
having been elected by the Republicans as
governor of Maine. Less than a month
afterward he resigned this Office, having
again been elected to the senate, this time
for six years. In 1851 he left the senate as
member, having been elected vice presi-
dent on the ticket with Abraham Lincoln.
From March 4, 1861, until March 3, 1885,
he presided over the senate, and in the lat
ter year was appointed collector of the
port of Boston. For twelve years since
1861 he acted as regent of the Smitbson-
ian institution. He was again elected
and reelected to the United States senate
serving from March 4, 1869, till March g.
1881. In June of that year he was appoint
ed minister to Spain, but gave up the
Office the year following.
Hannibal Hamlin, though originally a
Democrat, became republican because of
his anti-slavery ideas. Among the signifi-
cant incidents of his long career may be
mentioned the fact that in the temporary
absence of David Wilmot from the house
of representatives during the session of
the Twenty-ninth congress, at the critical
moment when the measure since known
as "the Wilmot proviso' had to be pre-
sented or irrevocably lost. Mr.. Hamlin,
while his anti-slavery friends were in the
greatest confusion, seeing that a seconds
delay would prove fatal, offered the bill
and secured its passage by vote of l15 to
Hannibal Hamlin sought to prevent the
extension of slavery, not to secure its
abolition

Horse Killed.

visit his brother-in- law A. B. Pifer, the
Penn'a R. r. agenthere The horse was
put in the barn, and short time after
wards the COW attempted to pass to
get to her stall, when the animal, which
was vicious one, began kicking at
her, and in trying to get away she got
her head under him and gored him SO
badly in the abdomen that the entrals
protruded. A veterinary surgeon was
summoned from Bloomsbury, but by
the time he arrived the only thing to
do was to put the animal out of misery
which was promptly done by knocking
him in the head with an axe.-Cdtd-

"Gambling is the ruling passion in
Mexico" said Charles F. Hughes, of the
City of Mexico, who was Palmer House
guest, while on his way to New York.
"Every one, from children 10 and 10
years of age to old men and women, in
dulge in it, Every member of every
class of society tries to win the favor Of
the tickle goddess Fortune, for gambling
is not looked upon by Mexicans as most
glaring vice, as it is by Northerners. The
former are more lenient in the matter Of
public morals. Each saloon has various
games of chance, but the whir of the
wheel and the click Of the ball one notes
after passing various Jealous guards in
the resorts Of your city are seldom heard
there. Monte is the national Mexican
game, as faro and poker are the Amer
ican, and rouge ct noir and baccarat the
French. Monte tables are run within
sight Of the paseers by; of course these of
which 1 now speak are the public games
wherein all who wish may participate.
Private games of monte are quite COM
mon in some Of the homes of the wealth.
est citizens Of the balmy country. Poker
is also very popular game, and the
stakes are frequently very high.
AT one home to which am often in
vited there are four admirers of the
game, and each one is shrewd and cal
culating player. This quartet is COM
posed of father, mother. son, and, daugh-
ter. OF course the stakes for which
they play are only enough to make.it
interesting, but the fact remains that
the parents encourage more or less the
youthful members Of the family in the
fascinating pastime. But instead of
looking at the matter in the light of a
more rigid disciplinarian, the father,
well to do merchant, often speaks of the
clever way in which his daughter-or
son, as the case may be-'called his
bluff and his wife proudly exhibits
dazzling pair of diamond earrings she
won from him with ten high flush.
"In alleys, upon street corners, in old
buildings, and in every accessible place,
street boys and girls can be found play
ing with some device for gambling. To
take gambling from Mexicans would
mean to deprive them of their most
fascinating pastime. Chicago News.
