A Stiff Upper Lin.

Douglas Green, the Wall street broker
who married Mrs. Snell-MacRae in a
very sensational manner, and went to
Europe for awhile. is back in Wall
street, says the Mail and Express.
He can be seen any fine day down
town in his old hauntS. Many Of his
friends have overlooked the little es-
capade that caused his first wife to take
action to free herself. He is now try
ing to recoup his fallen fortunes. and
those who know his shrewd business
tact and undoubted ability think he
will soon get upon his feet again. By
his fathers death he inherited cOnsid-
cradle wealth and engaged in the
brokerage business.
He bought a seat in the stock ex-
change and became partner of Com
far his GOODNESS and Judgment, and the
firm prOspered. Wherever the young
broker went he made friends, and he
was considered an ideal husband. No
one was better dressed on change, and
no one was better known. He
did not speculate enough to
gain the reputation of pIunger,
but whenever he dabbled in stocks he
rarely made mistake. Every one said
that lie had great future. One day he
dropped out and sailed away with Mrs.
MacRae. 1t was shock to his friends,
and they never expected to see him
back again, an active factor in the mar
ket; but he has returned, and is stand
ing shoulder to shoulder with the men
who knew him in days gone by, trying
to make new fortune.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
BalfOur's Proposed Measure and
Dissolution

LONDON, Dee. 26.-Wherever politi-
clans meet in London the question
arises as to what is to be the time for
dissolution. The question was referred
to at length at several gatherings of
politicians today. This was because a
member of the government, whose Off
cial duty brings him much into assOcia-
ton with the prime minister, has openly
expressed his view on the question. He
said that throughout Mr.. Balfour has
been determined upon the introduction
next session of the Irish local govern
ment bill. Mr.. BalfOur carefully
pledged himself to that effect soon after
the close of last session, when he had
not thought of leading the house next
year. and now he has with still greater
care created the pledge
In consequence there is no longer
any room for doubt that when the SeS-
sion opens one of the first notices of
motion from the treasury bench will be
for the introduction of this measure.
But, il was added. while the introduce
ton of the Irish local government bill
Is certain. the government is very
much inclined towards a dissolution at
the end of May, season which has
been declared in a speech from the
throne to be the most convenient. Ac-
cOrding to member of the cabinet the
government is not very anxious to pass
the Irish local government bill, nor is it
very confident that the majority in
committee will be large enough to in
sure such q result.

A REAL SPECIFIC.
How a Husband Was HOOdooed
From Whisky.

Last Thursday four gentlemen sat
about table in certain hotel IN this
city, says the Philadelphia Times. The
political discussion in which they were
engaged was brought to an abrupt close
by remark from one of the party.
"Hellor' he said, B. is drinking a
lemonade. Why; B., hasn't the waiter
made a mistake? Didn' t you order
whisky ~
Mr.. 3. slowly shook his head took a
final pull at his straws, and then pushed
aside the empty tumbler.
Its all right" he said. Il asked for
lemonade"
Surely you have not given up
whisky?"
''Pve quit drinking. if that's what you
mean." b. confessed somewhat reIuct-
antly.
Unparalleled establishment was de-
picted Oh the faces of his three COM
paniOns as they leaned forward.
We'll, why in time did you do that2''
cried the first speaker. what in the
world has happened, B.? Is the world
coming to an end, or are you doing it on
a bet?"
There's no bet about it."
'S0me one has been talking prohibit
ton to you?"
Nope"
Signed the pledge?"
Nope"
The man gavesit up.
Come" he said, tell US all about IL.
Perhaps it will help Billy here"
For reply the abstainer reached into
his waistcoat pocket and pulled out a
small newspaper cutting. He passed it
over to his three companions. 1t read:
LIQUOR HABIT CURED.
DR.. SIS preparation is infallible. New er
fails. May be taken in coffee without tast-
ing Wives and mothers should try it on
wayward husbands and sons. For sale by all
druggists.
There was a moments silence and
then B. whispered in gloomy tones:

that paper on her dressing table this
morning. and considering the amount
of coffee which l get at every meal, L

On the strength of this confession the
rest were not slow in ordering a bottle
OF extra dry, and the confessee did not
care to protest.

Condition Of Those Injured in the
Crash.

YONKERs, y. Y, Dee. 26.-No more
victims of the dreadful disaster on the
New York Central road on Christmas
eve at Hastings have died. The eondi-
ton of the injured people remains prac-
tically the same. Mrs. Homer r. Bald
win who is suffering from severe burns
on the face and arms, and also from in
ternal injuries, is about the same as last
night. The surgeons will not say
whether she will recover or lot. John
r. Bagnall, editor of the POughkeepsie
Evening Star, with badly burned face
and internal injuries, is neither better
nor worse than last night. His c0ndi-
ton is critical.
Dennis B. Murphy, with a ompOund
fracture of the leg, a fracture Of the
collar bone, face and arms badly burned,
suffers a great deal. but his condition is
unchanged. Homer r. Baldwin is do
ing well. Miss Annie Ford, of Brook

back, is doing finely.
Coroner Mitchell is conducting the in
vestigatiOn and securing evidence for
the inquest which viii be held on
"Wednesday next. Rear Brakeman Her
rick is still at large. He is the man who
is blamed for the accident, and there Is
DO doubt that it was his criminal neglect
of duty that caused the disaster.
Coroner Mitchell has a warrant for his

Z LONDON, Dec. 26.-The Property Pro-

Westminster, the Duke of Norfolk and
the Duke of Portland among its vice
presidents, has again addressed letter
to the property-owners of London, stat
ing that it has resolved to restrict the
numerous schemes subyersiye of the
rights of property which have of late
years been advocated by parliament and
the country" and asking for subscrip-
tions to defray the expenses or the So

Among the schemes mentioned in the
letter are lease-hOld REIMBURSEMENT, the
taxation of ground rents, attempts TO
place an undue share of imperial taxa
ton upon real property, proposals to
tamper with mining royalties, and
various other schemes. The very
wealthy personages who sent out this
appeal lament that unless the funds are
largely increased they will find it i'm
possible to extend their efforts. The
council of the association includes the
agents OF Lord Salisbury, Duke of
Bedford, Marquis of Butte and Lord
Portland.

DAVITT'S DEFEAT.
Tories JubiIant and Liberals Feel
Relief

LONDON, Dec. 26.-The Joy OF the
Tories over Davitt's defeat at Water
ford is almost hysterical. Some of the
party organs liken Davitt to O'Donovan
Rosa, and seornfuIly declare that Rosa
is as eligible to parliament as Davitt,
and would probably stand as good a
chance as candidate. Redmoud's cleo
ton has given new life to the Parnell
party, and the leaders of that faction
are already preparing for a thorough
reorganization in Great Britain, as we'll
as in Ireland.
The organization in Great Britain
used to be of the greatest service to
Parnell as weapon for holding over
English and Scotch candidates in close
constituencies. In London. Glasgow,
Liverpool, Manchester and other cities,
both of Scotland and England, there is
au Irish population large enough in
some borOughS to carry an election one
way or the other.
In the southwest of Scotland the
population of Irish birth and parentage
Is very numerous indeed, almost, if not
quite, as numerous as the Scotch
Irish population of Ulster. As
rule the Irish in Britain were
warm admirers of Parnell, and the in
ulcdltOliS dI6 lLldI the lIldJOTlIy were at
tached to him to the last. There has,
however, been general feeling that his
cause was hopeless. This has changed
since the defeat of Davitt, and news
from all quarters tells that the Parnell-
ite sentiment is coming 10 the top
again.
The English Liberal members of par
lament feelIn one respect a sense of
relief from Davitt's overthrow. Had
he been elected they would have
had to decide the delicate ques-
ton of admitting an ex-convict
TO the house of commons. No matter
how patriotic Davitt's motives may
have been, his conviction OF a high
crime has technically placed him in the
same category with the Infamous crimi-
mails whose punishment he shared, and
the admission of an eX-cOnvict of that
class to parliament would have been a
step to test the liberality of even Glad
stone.
Contrary to statements that have been
made there is nothing in English law to
keep the house of commons from adj
hitting to a seat any person whom it
chooses to admit, but precedent with
Englishmen is as sacred as law, and it
is certain that Davitt would never have
been seated even if he had been elected.

ROME, Dec. 26.-CoInt Lafevre de
Behaine, the French ambassador to the
Holy See. was granted a special inter
view 10 the pope today. During the
course OF the interview the ambassador
assured his holiness that France con-
sidered the recent radical outbursts
against the church and the attitude of
the French bishops as passing cloud.
Count de Behaine urged the pope not
to Judge the feeling in France by the
embittered utteranees which had been
delivered in the cham Der OF deputies.
The French government, he declared,
was anxious to maintain the most
friendly relations with the Vatican in
order to promote the pope's republican
policy. The enunciation of this policy
by his holiness, he said, has caused
majority of the French people to enter
tain feeling of gratitude towards him.

BERLIN, Dec. 26.-The cZarina, ae-
cording to adyices received at the Rus

tackled Tuesday last. The Metropolitan
Michel is also i'll with the disease. The
epidemic of influenza still prevails in
Galicia, Eastern Prussia and Berlin.
The area in which the malady is COM
mon, however, is lesSening to the west
ward.
An address recently delivered by
Prof. Nothnagel, of Vienna, upon the
origin and treatment of the disease is
the talk of the hour among medical men.
Prof. NOthnagel, in his address. declared
that the malady is distinctly miasmatic
IN character, and that it is certainly in
fictitious and probably contagious. He
also stated that persons having cardiac
affections and those suffering from
tuberculosis have most cause to fear a
fatal result. There is no specific means
OF cure, the professor says. treatment
by anti-pyrine. anti-febrine and phe-
nacetine is unadviSable in cases where
the disease is accompanied by any form
OF cong eStion of the lungs or weakness
of the heart. Such cases are better
treated with stimulants like digitaliS or
brandy, or by the simultaneous injec-
ton of camphOr.
