SINCE indemnity claims are in order,
what is to be thought of that the New
York Post prefers in behalf of the family
of the dead Chief of Police of New Or
leans? Hennessy lost his life at the hands
of alien cut-throats. He was butchered
because he was enforcing the law and
bringing offenders to justice. The Sicil-
ian gang he was breaking up had muir
dered more than thirty men and women
in New Orleans; he interposed to stop
the flow of blood and was killed for his
pains by Italian subjects.
Now there is claim in behalf of his
family that lodges somewhere. If Italy's
demand for payment for the lives of the
Mafiaites is of force, SO should be the
claim for Hennessy's family. 1t is not
one of legal vigor against Italy to be sure,
but how viii its moral power as a counter
claim operate with Italy?

taken into consideration, the urban pop

AN amusing discussion in the Eastern
press is upon the question, ''Does man
who wills his property to his wife so long
as she remains his widow, but to go to
his children if she re-marries, testify to
lack OF confidence in his wife ?" OF
course he does not; it is lack of confidence
in his successor. In fact such wills are
not to be taken as testimony that their
makers are jealous and selfish, and wish
to prohibit their widows from marrying
There are some such cases, of course, but
as rule a will thus conditioned is the
highest possible compliment the husband
can pay the wife. He does not bribe her
to remain in widowhood, but he says to
her, so long as you are not subjected to
the influence of another, trust you to do
well by our children out ofmy own estate
as well as out of yours. But if you
become subject to another, let the chill
dren take the property, under other guard
ianship. This is common business pru-
dence. To our mind the affirmative of
the question stated, is very weak, for the
provision referred to is simply guaranty
to mans children that they shall not be
subjected to domination as regards prop
erty, by step-father in the choosing Of
whom they have no voice. Yet it is quite
the custom when such a provision in a
will is announced, to hear the testator
abused for his 'selfishness." But it is
wrong in most cases.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 23.-It was a
dreary and dull game this afternoon be-

a score of nine to six.
France was unable to put the ball over
the plate, and sent eleven men to bases.
The visitors began to hit Cobb after the
fourth inning, but stupid base-running
spoiled their work and prevented three
runs from being scored. Ward, at second
base, played a slovenly and careless
game. Score:

Sheep Raising

The raising of sheep in Kent county
has gradually increased until to. day
there are more than $4,000 invested
in sheep. Some of our farmers have as
many as a thousand sheep out on
shares. 1t has not been many years
since $500 would have bought every
sheep in the county. 1t is a paying
industry and we are glad to see so
many of our farmers engaged in it.
Possibly the largest buyer of wool in
the county is Mr.. Marcus Asher, who
has bought II 900 pounds up to date.
Mr.. n. Lieberman at Meltota, has
bought 5000 pounds, Mr.. Walter Skir-
ven has shipped 1900, Mr.. Alday
Clements, 1000, Mr.. T. J. F. Smith,
1000 and Mr.. w. E. Jarrel, 1000,
other buyers in the county 5000, the
aggregate amounting to $4,000 pounds
of wool raised in Kent this year The
average price has been RlA-st % cents
per pound, thus making the money
paid to our farmers for wool alone,
amount to $500, while the SUN re-
ceived for lambs alone will reach over
$4,000. Sheep will average four and
five pounds of wool each.-Kent Ne'cs.

The Washington University.

The iucorporators of the new insti-
tuition for higher education to be foun-
ded in Washington, have chosen a
good name for it. They will call it
the American University, and while
Bishop Hurst and his associates of the
Methodist Episcopacy have taken the
lead in its foundation, they have cho-
sen forits trustees men from the Pres
byteriau, Protestant Episcopal and
Baptist churches, as well as from both
the Northern and Southern branches
of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Not only have they made the ruling
board thus Catholic in character, but
they have gone a step further. On it
they have placed several women, who
have shown their interest in the higher
education of their sex, and thus, at the
start, they have, as Bishop Hurst says,
recognized the needs of the age, in af-
fording women equal opportunities
with men in all the advantages OF cul-
ture. The trustees have been selected
with great care and now that a good
start has been made, there IS no doubt
that fund of FIVE millions needed to es-
tablish the new American University
will soon be Forthcoming. Bishop
Hurst is a man of energy, is heart and
soul in love with this project, and al
ready can see his way clear to the
complete realization of all his hopes.

Bardsley's Fall.

1t was an unfortunate day for John
Bardsley when he was nominated for
the Office OF City Treasurer. But for
that he might have gone on in his ca
resr retaining the name being honest
while possibly he may have been dis
honest at heart.
Here was a man whose salary was
$4,000 year, for term of three
years, a sum that most men would con-
sidered ample to satisfy honest men.
But this amount was a mere bagatelle
compared with other allowable per-
quisites of his Office. The commissions
allowed on State money collected are
understood to reach $4,000 or 100000
year. Any ordinary man ought to be
able to retire at the end of three years
with legitimate fortune of at least
$3.50, 600 in his pocket saved.
But this did not suit John BardsIey.
His success increased the greed of
avariCe within him and he went into a
speculation on states money. The
State he argued would not need this
$3.50, 900 until such and such a time,
why may not make something out of
it until it is needed. l will so place it
that can realize on it at call and no.
body will be the wiser but myself and
those to whom it is loaned Ah, John
Bardsley, had you not stopped to lis
tea to those seductive arguments the
penitentiary for the balance of your
life would not yawn for your entrance.
As John Bardsley argued, so argue
all who are about entering on the
same course. Very few men become
rOgues suddenly. They intend to re-
coup and pay back all, but somehow,
when the time comes, they cannot just
realise upon the investments not their
own, and then they are drawn into
trouble. So went John Bardsley.
Unfortunately for him the banks selec-
ted for his operations were not sound,
and they were the ones that offered
him the largest for the state money, 4
per cent.
This suited Bardsley as it would
bring intoAis pockets 1884, Magni-
flcent speculation Had not the Key
stone bank collapsed so suddenly,
Bardsley might have carried through
his project and retired at the end Of a
term, still retaining the name of being
honest. But it is the unexpected that
happens. 1t did SO in Bardsley's case,
and great was his fall.

ASTONISHED THE URBANAN s.

Rumors Regarding Conspiracy to Keep
Well Man in an Asylum.
CHAMPAIGN, ILL.,. Aug. 14.-Not little ex-
citement was caused in Urbana by a special
telegram which appeared in certain Chioa-
go papers, alleging that George Boet, of
Urbana, was falsely confined in the insane
asylum at Kankakee. and that he is the
victim of a conspiracy. 4A
There can be no doubt as to the insanity
of Boet when he WAS taken to Kankakee.
He was a painter, and while following his
trade two years ago board fell, striking
him upon the head. He recovered in short
time, and there was no sign of any mental
arrangement until last winter, when he
was travelling through the southern states.
After returning to Urbana the trouble grew
upon him. A thorough investigation of
his case was made in the county court last
June. The jury being convinced of his in
sanity, he was sent to Kankakee.
The first Mrs. Boet knew that her hus-
bands sister has making an effort to have
him released was when she received let
ter from Mrs. Wheeler asking fol
her consent to his being released.
Mrs. Boet went Immediately to Kan
kakee and, thinking that the change might
benefit her husband, consented to his
removal from the asylum, and he was taken
by Mrs. Wheeler to her home in Atchison,
Kan. Mrs. Boet says she had no idea what
has caused Mrs. Wheeler to allude to con-
spirncy, for the domestic life of her and
her husband had been of the happiest.

had lengthy conference with Premier
Mercier and other members of the Quebec
provincial government. In order to COM
plete the deal he got Ernest Pacaud. editor

ngent between himself and the government.
An arrangement was made by which
the government paid him. in subsidies,

retaining only $75 200. The statement GRE
ated a sensation. Pacaud. when called on,

. ernment in paying the money" Pacaud
showed witness list of persons whose
debts had to be liquidated. Among the
names appeared r. |. Tarte. M. p. Before
