A Resident of the Country Eight Years Who
Could Not Speak EngIish-One or Two
Important Cases Before Judges Ewing
and McClung.
Two branches of Criminal Court were in
session yesterday, Judges Ewing and Nc
Clung presiding Mary McCune was before
the former Judge for arson. She was
charged with setting fire to her house on
Lewis street, near Fifty-fourth street, with
intent to defraud the Iron City In
surance Company, in which she held a
S2,000policy. P. McDonough was the prose-
cutor. Considerable amusement was created
BY McDonough, who could not speak En-
glish, although he has been in this country
for eight years After considerable delay
and trouble an interpreter was secured and
the case was proceeded with. The jury will
be charged this morning.
A case of considerable interest was that of
James McGrow, charged with secreting
goods to defraud creditor. He was prose-
cuted by F. J. Weixall The defendant
was four months in arrears of house rent,
and a landlords warrant was issued against
him. Under the writ of replevin he was
given five days grace, and it is said
that during this period he moved
his goods from his house on
the Southslde TO CHARTERS. This is the first
case tried for many years of this character
and involved several nice points OF law.
Judge Ewing charged that the defendant
must have known that inasmuch as his
goods were under the supervision of the
law, his removal of them was a deceit and
a fraud. The jury found him guilty
Among other cases tried was that of
Charles Marks, charged with assaulting
Sarah Bowman, of Scott township. The
case was amicably settled and the defendant
paid the costs

The Armenian girls of Constantinople
are very handsome and very much en- evil
dence; but they weigh - stone at least, on
an average, at 20 years of age and 10 stone
at 20. Most persons who have visited
Egypt may be surprised to hear the Coptic
reckoned among the most beautiful of
races. But those who took part in the
scurry to Cairo after Telel-Kebir had q
unique opportunity of Judging.
Coptic women of the better class are at
least as much secluded as their Moslem
sisters-or were, under the old state OF
things. But as the news of the Christian
triumph sped along they turned out in
their best attire to welcome the victors-
thrilling with joy and relief, no doubt. The
train, worked by Royal Engineers, made
slow progress.
BEAUTY ON A CAR
AT each town it stopped reports were
handed in and arrangements made. In the
crowded horse box, where 1 had my place
with two generals, peer, and swarm of
field officers, whose spurs were very awk-
ward in the crush-the beauty of the Copts
was soon remarked. Standing at their doors
or on the housetops, conspicuous by bare
faces, black robes, and white scarf about
the head. they remain in my memory and
in that of others as the stateliest women 1
ever saw.
Briefly, speaking from very wide ex-
perience, my impression is that the most
beautiful women of the world are the Sikh;
that is the highest average of regularity in
future, charm of expression, and symmetry

THE LOSS NOT coMPUrABLE.

Therefore, to sell the goods at about the
same price as is now the case the foreign in
voices cost would have TO be reduced to a
very great extent to enable these goods to
be marketed and at about the former prices,
which is not rendered possible by any corre-
spending increase in the cost of production,
The loss to the domestic manufacturer if
there is not reversal of the decision, is
beyond comparison, the total annual
product of worsted goods in the United
States being about 500, 100000 at
low figures. The mills will have to
stand idle, because they could not manufac-
ture the goods at profit in competition
with the foreign goods, which are being
brought here undisturbed New England,
Providence especially, will be the chief suf-
ferers and thousands of work people will
feel its consequent hardships."
As the decision stands now it will be law
and custom unless the Government appeals.
This must be done by taking the case to the
United States Circuit Court of New York,
1t is believed that the worsted manufacture
ers Of the country will speedily organize to
have the Government take this step at once.

FEARS OF DISASTROUS RESULTS.

Notwithstanding this heavy increase in
duties, these same goods are now being sold
in the United States at about the same
prices as prevailed under the former tariff,
and it is q well-known fact that there has
been no such reduction abroad, either in
material, wages or other items which enter
into the cost of the manufacture of these
goods As to the direct effect, eff this de-
cision stands it will nullify the expected in
crease of duties provided for by the Nc
Kinley bill.
"The question affects Immediately goods
which have been retained in the Custom
House at New York, but if it is allowed to
stand it will affect all importations of this
class Of goods, and will. prove one of the
most disastrous blows to the domestic
worsted industry which could befall it. 1t
eliminates all the expected benefits of the
Mckinley bill as applied to worsted manu-
factures in the United States. AS an ex-
ample of the difference of the worsted duties
under the law of 1883, it may be said that
on goods costing 60 cents per pound abroad
the duty was 18 cents per pound and 80 per
cent ad valorem. On the same goods by the
Mckinley, the duty is A cents per pound,
and 30 per cent ad vslorem, which makes an
advance in the cost of these goods of So
cents per yard, estimating that one yard
weighs pound, or is equal to about go cents
in foreign value.

THE PULSE OF THE PRESS.

The efforts Of the Democratic press to

lengthy refutation.-k Kingston Freeman
Grady went to Chicago. and on the floor
Of the Democratic National Convention of
1884, as the exponent aud representative Of
Tammany Hall, assailed Mr.. Cleveland in
the bitterest terms. He left the Demo
cratic party in 1884 to support General
Butler for President, and IL is remarkable
that he should now be given one of the
Tammany just after Mr. Cleveland has
materially assisted that corrupt organiza-
ton to extend its jurisdiction over the
whole State.-New York Press.

he should be returned without "a contest,
that there should be among the Republi-

The New York Epcning Post gravely
observes that "new absurdities about the

professors whom he desired rs instructors
without exposing himself 10 heavy pen
alties and subjecting the professors TO the
indignity of being sent back to Europe
with the paupers and idiots who try TO
sneak into this country" Now the fact Is
that the contract labor law was amended
at the last session of Congress for the pur-
pose of eliminating this very feature and
professors, ministers and other similar
classes are expressly excepted from its
provisions. The president OF the Chi ago

THE CITY TREAsURERsHIP.

The corporate character of city gov
ernment and the consequent need Of
ssSecting business men for its officers has
been too fully dwelt upon heretofore to
need any further elucidation at this time,
but if there is one Office in the city the
candidate for which should be selected
without regard to party lines, that one is
the Office of City Treasurer. The present
incumbent of this Office d. L. d. Granger
is young Democrat who is respected
alike by his political friends and oppo-
nents. He has shown signal ability
in the management of the duties of his
Office and will undoubtedly continue to
do so. The business community will re-
call the success which Mr.. Granger had
in floating the new issue of bonds at
time when the money was urgently
needed by the city, but also at a time
when the bond market was overloaded
with securities and the bonds of other
cities were going begging. BY careful
selection Of the convertible gold bond as
the one for the city to issue Mr.. Granger
was enabled to open his bids on the day
appointed and find that the demand had
exceeded the supply. 1t was an able
piece of financiering. Mr.. Granger de-
serves reelection. The city treasury is
safe in his hands.

Our namesake in Newport is led by its
Democratic proclivities to remark that
"the municipal scandal in Providence
bids fair to place that city in the list of
badly managed cities" This is case
where our contemporary has been a
little premature in jumping at con
clusions. No scandal has been disclosed
as yet. But we are not surprised at the
eager agility which our friend betrays i'm
its search for points against the Repub-
lican party. There are very few of
them, at least in the city government of
Providence, and it would have been
more courteous of our Newport con-
temporary to have waited until at least
it knew its own ground instead of lung
ing thus wildly at nothing.

The ponds lie CLASSY meath the MONDAY sun;
The sumacs still their deep hued feathers

In patches intermingling with the green
As bright picture as when joyous June
Came bearing flowers TO beautify the scene !

And finds his wife demands sealskin
