My Dear Sir: l have received your

address the meeting as you request, but l
am glad that the business interests OF New

to make formal expression of my agree
ment with those who believe that the

the adoption of the scheme embraced IN

an unlimited coinsge of silver at our

pected capacity for the assimilation OF a
largely increased volume Of the currency,
and even If we have demonstrated the USE
fulness of such an increase, these condi-

ANOTHER SENSATIONAL MUIR
DER IN LONDON.
ing Jack the Ripper, the Author
OF the FIendisI, Murders.

Oh the FlenOIsm PMuT0erSs
London cablegram. The police have ar
rested a man on suspicion that he is Jack
the Ripper" tho author of the horrible
Whitechapel crimes, the latest of which
has just been committed. policeman
who saw the unfortunate woman short
time before the murder said that she was
talking to a man who looked liked sailor.
The police searched all the cattle ships but
found no reason for arresting any one.
Late in the evening a man was arrested on
the docks and locked up on suspicion.
The police refuse to tell what they know
about him.
Jack the Ripper's latest effort differs
from the preceding ones in that on this
occasion the human butcher did not have
time to complete his work, and from his
selecting place almost as public as the
Strand.
About 2 a. M. as Constable Thompson
was patrolling Chamber street, a narrow
thoroughfare that ends in Leman street,
where the police station is situated, he
passed under the railway arch of the
Blackwell line leading into Royal Mint
street and contiguous TO the mint and tho
tower. He had got about half way through
when he stumbled over the body of u
woman lying in the center of the road
way in a pool of blood WATCH was still
oozing from the cash In the throat. He
could hear gurgling sund and on look
ing down made out in the darkness that
the unfortunate creature was still alive, as
her limbs moved slightly aud her lips
seemed to be eudenvoring to articulate.
Hardly had the officer noticed this when
he was startled by hearing rececding foot
steps Running as quickly as possible to
the other end OF the arch say he could see
nothing as before he had reached it the
sound was lost, showing that the murderer
had made his escape.
As may be imagined the excitement in
Whitechapel is intense, and the adjoining
streets are crowded Tho police attach
great importance 10 the fact that when her
clothing was examined second hat was
found. 1t has for a long timo been a
favorite theory OF the police that Jack the
Ripper. despite his masculine pseudonym,
would eventually he found to he a woman.
The fact that the second hat was not of
the same size ms that folnd on the dead
woman's body strengthens tho theory.

KEPT LIKE BEASTS.
Helpless Children in the orphanage
Managed by Clergyman.

DUBLIN, October 2S.-Some startling testi-
mony was given today at the trial of Rev
Samuel Cotton, rector at Carnogh, County
Kildare. who was charged with criminal me-
glect and III treatment of the children in the
Carnogh orphanage. The Society for the
Protection Of Children recently made en- in
vestigation into the manner in which the or
phanage was conducted. They found that
the children of the orphanage were in an
emaciated, filthy and ragged condition, and
that they were coverediwith parasites. The
toes of one of the children, 1t was testified to,
had rotted off. Another, girl, had been
chained by the legs to a log. The rooms
of the orphanage were also found to be
In the flthiest possible condition. In the
kitchen of the orphanage was found baby,
six weeks old, covered with dirty rags ana
dying of cold and inanition.
The sanitary condition of the whole estab-
lishment was found to be perfectly horrible.
The walls and floors were in a beastly con-
dition and some of the beds used by the un-
fortunate children were merely old boxes
and packing cases filled with stale hay.
Mr.. Cotton was committed for trial, bail,
however. being allowed in order to enable
him to attend the synod Of the Diocese, of
which body he is a member.

With alacrity and with becoming modesty
the Rich brothers raised their hands. Then
one of them put final touch to their extra
ordinary theology by claiming that he is
God.
Before the congregation could recover it

IT is VIRTUALLY VICTORY FOR sMYTH.
Massachusetts Supreme Court pe-
cIdes the AndoVer Case.
Ecclesiastical ASPECTS OF the Ques-
tIon Not Touched Upon.
Legal TechnIcaIIties Benefit the
New Departure" Liberals.

BOSTON, October 28.-The famous Andoy-
er case has been decided by the full bench Of
tne supreme Court. 1t has been decided.
however. wholly on technical grounds. The
decision Is that the trustees as a corporation
should be made party to the proceedings
before the board of visitors.
The determination Of the court sets aside
the decree OF the board of visitors, and mas
much as the trustees as body are support
ers OF Prof. Smyth, aud will not become par
ties TO proceedings for his removal, the de-
clslon ls q virtual victory for the new de-
parture" liberals.
The decision Of the board of visitors, set
aside by the Supreme Court, was rendered
In June, 1887. aud was TO the effect that the
Rev. Egbert q. Smyth, ID. d., Brown profess
sor OF ecclesiastical history In the theologi-
cal institution in Phillips Academy In An
dover" be expelled from his chair on &C
count OF hete0rod0xy In teaching 'as such
professor doctrines contrary to the sreed OF
the institution, especially respecting the in
spiration OF the Holy Scriptures and proba-
tion after death for some souls that have not
had the gospel In this life. An appeal was
taken the Supreme Court OF the state, In ac-
cordance with the provision made by the
founders Of the seminary. and complicate
series Of legal battles went Oh, eliminating
In the final hearing before the full bencn
one Of the many grounds Of appeal named by
Prof. Symth's lawyers, namely, that the
board Of visitors acted unjustly and Illegally
In refusing to allow the board of trustees 10
have share In the trial.
The other issues raised are not passed up
on by the full bench, nor are the eeclesiasti-
cal merits OF the case In any way touched up
on. The effect Of the decision will be to end
the whole Andover controversy, as far as the
courts are concerned, unless indeed the
board OF trustees should change front In the
matter, which Is highly improbable.
Chief Justice Field alone dissents In a
long and able opinion from the rest Of the
court. He says that II was lmmaterial
whether or not the application OF the trus-
tees to be permitted to appear as a party be
part OF the record Of the visitors, because
this record, even II the application were ex-
cluded. does not show that the trustees as &
corporation were cited to appear or did ap-
pear 10 the proceedings.
The majority opinion does not say wheth-
er Prof Smyth Is or Is not guilty OF heter-
odoxy, neither does 1t prevent the board Of
visitors from amending and calling upon the
trustees to appear.
