Disobliging Passengers.

II had particularly weird sort of experience
the other day said Noodles to the Washington
Star last evening at the Platypus Club. Twas
invited to spend the first week in Lent with
some friends of mine who are oldfashioned
people and live in the country, some little dis
lance from city not thousand miles from
here. They are very hospitable folks and
always have good time when l 20 there the
girls are jolly, there are plenty of horses and
some shooting is to be found in the neIghbor-
hood. On other occasions they have sent into
town and fetched me out to their place, but Just
this once it happened that their colored coach
man was sick, and so they directed me to take
the street car out as far the little suburban
postofftce, where could meet the stage or ON
nibos which stopped there regularly for the
mail, thence pursuing the old turnpike road to
my destination.

the route often in the family carriage. AS in

Blaine's Dilemma

The offer OF the English government To
join this government to prevent the killing
of any seals IN Boring sea or on the sea
islands this season places Mr.. Blaine in a
rather uncomfortable position Aud yet he
hiss been insisting all along that the poach-
! ing OF the Canadian seal catchers in Boring
sea was rapidly DISCRIMINATING the seals.
and pretending that the main purpose of
his contention was TO place the taking Of
seals under such restrictions that an annual
supply Of seal skins would be obtained with
| out danger Of exterminating the seals
And the reason Mr.. Blaine is uncomforta-
BILE is said to be that the chief members of
| the company which has the contract with
the government for killing seals on the
islands in Boring sea are Stephen Elkins
and ID. o. Mills two very prominent repub-
licans who are great friends of his. 1t
seems that Elkins and Mills are extremely
anxious to raid the sea islands this season
and kill all the seals they can. They have
incurred considerable expense in providing
plant for the seal killing business, and
they want to get their money back. If Mr..
Blaine should accept the proposition Of the
English government it might be a long time
before they would have a chance to Kill
seals. Indeed, complications might arise
which would virtually render their contract
of little or no value.
If the company Of Elkins and Mills get any
seals this season their sealing feet will have
to start for the sea islands by May Is. 1t
is necessary for Mr.. Blaine to determine
quickly, therefore, whether this govern
ment will join that of England and prevent
any seals from being killed this season.
And there does not seem to be anything
unfair in the proposition to stop the killing
of seals for year. This government would
not give up any of its claim to the seals by
agreeing to it. 1t would be understood, Of
course, that the agreement should not be
construed to the disadvantage of either
party.
If Mr.. Blaine should reject the PROPOSE
ton he would place himself in the position
of refusing what he has all along been ask
ing for. Indeed, the burden of his latest
correspondence in the Boring sea contro-
versy is that his chief purpose is to place
the killing of seals under such regulations
as will prevent their determination. In
view of what he has said. letter rejecting
the proposition would not make very
favorable impression either in this country
or Furope

A Grain Gamblers Caraer.

It is estimated that not more than 10 per
cent. of those who enter mercantile life re-
tire from business with a fortune 1t is
doubtful if the percentage of those who
gamble in stocks, grain and cotton and re-
tire with fortunes is as large. Specializing
in stocks and futures is quick way of
making money and quicker way to lose it.
For long time one of the most conspicu-
Gus spectators in grain in the whole coun-
try was Benjamin p Hutchinson of Chicago,
better known as "Old HUTCH Not very
long ago his wealth was estimated all the
way from $1,000 600 to $20.000,000 On
Wednesday, according to the Chicago dis
patches, he left Chicago for some point be-
tween that city and Pensacola, Fla, for the
reason that he could not meet his obliga-
tions. His vast fortune has passed into
other hands, and had he not in the days of
his prosperity settled a large sum upon his
wife he would be virtually penniless.
His desire to speculate was so great that
he could not resist it. Many months ago it
became evident to his sons, who are promi-
nent business men in Chicago, that luck
was against him, and that he was rapidly
losing his wealth. They tried to get him to
give up speculation and spend the remainder
of his days quietly and in the enjoy
ment of domestic life. He yielded to their
wishes for time, and for several months
he was not seen in his usual haunts. But
the ruling passion of his life was stronger
than his will, and he began specializing
| again.
He will make no more bets, however, on
the future prices of wheat and corn, unless
his wife supplies him from the money put
apart for her use. And if she is wise
woman she will keep what she has, how
ever earnestly her husband may plead for
it. She knows that a few hundred thous-
and dollars would not remain long with
such "plunger" as "Old Hutch" if luck
should be against him.
"Old Hutch" will be remembered a long
time as one of the most remarkable men
who ever operated on the Chicago Board of
| Trade. For years he ruled it, sending
prices up and down as he pleased
He started in life with nothing but good
health and great deal of native shrewd-
ness Fifty years ago he was employed in
a small grocery store in North Reading, n
H, at $50 year, but he did not remain
there long. Forty years ago he went to
Milwaukee and was successful in business
there. After the war be began specializing
in Chicago, and in 1887 was the leading OPP
orator in grain in that city. IT took him
twenty years to accumulate the millions
which he lost in less than two

Inadennata Dlvorca LAVA.

Div orce laws in England appear to be
about as unevenly balanced as everything
else there pertaining to the institution of
marriage. Under the recent decision in
the Clitheroi divorce case. wherein the
court held that no woman is compelled to
live with her husband, many worthy but
ill-used wives who are forced into the
divorce court are likely to be deprived of
their right to alimony. Therein hardship
will be inflicted.
On the faith of that decision the magis-
trates have lately shown disposition to
dismiss complaints of this character, and
especially to refuse alimony, on the ground
that, since a woman is not legally COM
PEELED to remain with a cruel husband, any
submission to violence is essentially volun-
tary-
Urging that a legislative remedy for the
defect is not necessary simply because, as
the lord high chancellor recently put it,
when the case was presented before the
House of Lords, 'every British subject en-
| joys the privilege of applying to a high
| court of justice for a mandamus compelling
magistrates to act" is absurd upon the face
Of it. So does every British subject enjoy
the privilege of owning a house and lot.
| But many of them find the privilege rather
hard to realize, because of circumstances
over which they have no control"
Such a suggestion from tie chancellor ap-
piled to penniless women is about on par
with the medical practitioner who should
prescribe a trip to Europe for an invalid
pauper
Too many of the laws in all countries are
just as impractical and beyond the reach Of
| those who need them most.
Some of the unavailing absurdities of the
| English divorce laws were once very point
eddy preaented by the witty Lord Maule
when he was called upon to pronounce sem
tence in bigamy case upon a man whose
dissolute wife had abandoned him for several
years before his remarriage.
After stating with great precision of de-
tail that the accused should first have
brought an action for Grim. con- in a civil
| court, and then another for divorce in an
ecclesiastical court, and finally obtained a
| private act of parliament dissolving his
first and permitting him to contract a Sec
ond marriage, the eminent jurist concluded:
"You will probably reply that this would
have cost you 81 900 and that you are not
worth thousand pence. But let me tell
you, prisoner at the bar, that this is no ex-
cuse. and that in England the law is the
same for the poor as for the rich"
While the American laws are rarely SO
cumbersome as the average British statute,
they frequently prove quite as absurdly in
adequate to the purposes for which they
were devised.
