A Review of the Fleming Case

EDITORS HERALD: In reading your
reportin this mornings paper ofthe Rev.
Mr.. Fleming's case we were Mortified at
his sentence. In the first place it was,
as we understand it, the girls testimony
against his, and may we not ask, is not
his word as good as hers? Should she
not be compelled to corroberate her
statement before it received credence ?
Is not the accepting of her testimony,
without proof, bad precedent to estab-
lish? Will not servants make like accu-
sations of gentlemen whenever their
ladyships are offended at some imagin-
ary wrong?
But, for the sake of argument, let us
admit that the woman's statement is
correct. Her confidence in the gentle
man, to say the least, must have been
perfect, when she did not feel the neces-
sity of locking her door when she re-
tired, Notwithstanding the fact that she
|, knew she was all alone in the house
with strange man, nor did she appear
to lose it when she awoke and found
herself in his arms, fol- she quietly re-
mained there, when she could have
easily gotten out, especially as she ac-
knowledges that he used no force, and
this we must believe, else she would
have had different story to tell.
"What is done we partly may compute,
But know not what's resisted"
Her reliance in the gentleman remained
undiminished, apparently, for she con-
tinued to reside under his roof until
some one particularly interested, proba-
bly,, induced her to take legal proceed
ings.
A sensible woman would have blamed
herself when such a story as the Peter
son girls was told of her husband.
Granting that she believed it, she would
remember only the fact that she herself
had neglected her duty in not being be-
side him; she would see that her alb
sence had exposed him to temptation,
and she would firmly resolve to consid-
er her duties to her husband paramount
to that of her church for all future
time, and would not even refer to the
matter in talking with her spouse, much
less in conversings with anyone else.
She would finally conclude:
81 know not, I ask not,
If guilt be in that heart,
but know that love thee
Whatever thou art
Through the furnace, unshrinking,
Thy steps I'll pursue
To save thee. to shield thee,
Or perish there, too"
In all Mr. Fleming has been called
upon to endure, it never occurred to
him, apparently, to reproach his wife,
nor to make any effort to blacken the
character of the Peterson woman, for
both of which he surely deserves a
couple of white marks.
We sincerely hope that he will receive
the consideration due him from the su-
preme court, where men with broad
views hear and determine such cases.
In conclusion. we will state that we
have never met Mr.. Fleming, nor do we
know anything of him further than
what we learned through the medium
of the press during his trial.

Pictures of Running Water.

If we ask a person who has not thought
about the matter to represent with a
pencil, from memory, stream or fall of
water, in nine cases out of ten he will
return the paper after having timidly
ventured upon few parallel scratches,
looking as much as anything else like
the ruts in road or the nairs of horses
tail. Yet we see liquids every day flow
ing along the gutter, aud from bottles
or pitchers; and we have all played
near brooks and cascades. The persons
who trace the parallel lines We have
spoken of suppose they are representing
the path travelled by the particles of
water-that is, movement, an imma-
tcrial thing which by its very nature
dcies all graphic representation. 1t is
true that luminous point in very rapid
motion leaves on the retina the impress
sion of line. We are thus authorized
to represent a fash of lightning, the
course of she'll, and a gunshot; but we
hesitate to resort to that artiice to repre-
sent the flight of an arrow through the
air or the movement OF sword to strike.
1t will be we'll to make only a moderate
use of it in representing water. In fact,
these parallel lines do not exist, at least
not under that form. Furthermore, lines
do not show whether the stream is going
to the right or to the left, or vice versa.

A Man Who Palms Things.

Two gentlemen shook hands in the
street day or two ago, and as they un-
clasped their hands small wad of paper
fell to the sidewalk. "What is this2"
said one of the men, stopping to pick
up the wad. 'Oh, that is my five dol
lar bill," said the other man. 81 made
a ball of it, and palmed it when I left
the house in order that would not for.
get to stop in at my grocer's and pay a
bill. But I forgot all about the con-
founded thing"
'sDo you mean to say that you have
carried that wad in the palm of your
hand for an hour or two without realiz-
ing that it was there2"
"Certainly; frequently carry small
articles in the palm of my hand for seT.
eral hours. They never fall out, and
tley don't bother me. I learned the
trick of palming wheL was boy, and
have practiced it ever since. l can palm
half dozen coins at the same time and
retain them concealed IN my hand all
day if l want to. I can eat my dinner,
smoke cigar, rend paper, and do al
most everything, except shake bands,
without disturbing the palmed coins. l
find the palming knack very useful some
times, particularly when want to con-
ceal any small article temporarily. y."-NsU

NOTES ON GLOVES.

A new dressy glove has point on the
wrist, plain or embroidered.
If gloves are even dampened with per-
spiration, pull them in shape, dry in the
air and pull in shape again.
Mend break with cotton of the same
shade. Gloves are stitched with cotton
.'to make them wear longer, the glovers
ay.
When gloves are laid away in box
they should be wrapped in paraffine tis-
sue paper. Never lay gloves together,
clean and soiled.
A fad of the season is the use of yel-
low, pearl. white and lavender chamois
gloves, plain or stitched with black.
They cannot be worn as close fitting as
kid gloves, as they are not elastic. They
soil easily, but the yellow and white es-
pecially wash well with little care in
using refined soap and drying on the
hands to keep them in shape, If not the
owner of glove asts.-Fashi0ns.

A YOUNG WOMAN ENGINEER.

Chicago is great city, enterprising
to an astonishing degree, and in more
than one respect is unlike any other city
on this continent. She gained the World
Fair site over all her competitors, and
she now has woman engineer, who has
successfully passed the ordeal of rigid
examination.
A contemporary says she was not let
off easily either because she was woman; !;
in fact, the writer says her examination
was, if anything, little more severe
than usual.
The young woman walked into the
Board of Examiners room in the City
Hall, presented her application in a
manly way, deposited the official fee
(S2), and then made her way into the
line of the applicants to await her turn:
Among other questions she was asked
was as to the size of the blow-off re.
quired for seven-horse power engine,
and what she would do if the valve stuck
fast. When the examination was fin
ished the examiners wrote at the end OF
her paper "accepted," and Miss De Barr
is now full-fedged licensed steam en-
gineer.-SeientJfc american.

The Worlds Postage.

There was recently published by the
French Ministry of Finance an interest
ing pamphlet in relation to the cost OF
the worlds postage, which gives some
very significant figures. The total cost
of the postal service the world over is
little less than $5OO,000,oO0. OF all
nations the United States is the most
liberal patron of the postoflice, with an
annual expenditure of S66, 900, 900.
Germany ranks second, spending $780,
900, 900 but this also includes the
telegraph service, accounts not being
available for the separation of the two
services. Great Britain spends $49,-
100000 for postal service, and France
about S2S, 100000. Thus it can be
seen that the United States is far in the
lead. Another feature of our service
that renders it better than that of any
other country is that the department
does not wait for demand to spring
up, but that in all of the less settled
sections of the country, the postofice
has preceded the population, and immi-
grants are never without postal facilities.
In this we differ widely from Europe,
where only considerable villages have
regular postofices.-&. Louis Globe

woMEN's CLUBS.

All over our land women arc finding
in their social and intellectual club vi
tality, stimulus, strength, aud inspiration
which their grandmothers hungered for
end never found. The scholarly woman
finds in her club the social companion
ship which she demands, and the appre-
ciative working force which cannot b.
reduced to any set terms. Womens
clubs have taught women to know them
selves, to understand the highest duties
of motherhood, to feel the sacredness of
home life. to see existing wrongs and to
apply needed remedies, to attempt re-
forms on the broadest basis, to value the
power of higher education, to discuss
measures amicably and logically,to value
social duties and business habits, to
think earnestly, and to express their
thoughts clearly.
In small towns and villages the club
has been special providence to many
weary mother, or to the woman OF few
early advantages and large aspirations.
In our great cities women's clubs have
been the first to institute social reforms
and to call public attention to crying
evils. They nave controlled superficial

HThe Fatal Patient"

Two years ago, it is said, a woman
afflicted with catarrh visited the Man.
haitian Eye and Ear Hospital, to be
treated for her illness. DR.. johnson,
who at that time had charge of Cabinet
D, treated the case, and two days after
ward he suddenly died. The patient
was relieved by the treatment, but six
months fror~ he first date, on return
of the malady, she again sought the in
stitutiou. DR.. Pond, then in charge,
attended her, and IN two days after he
died of heart failure, as the record states.
A week or so ago she again applied for
treatment, aud DR.. David Phillips pre-
scribed for her. He dined the same day
with friend, went home not feeling
very we'll, and was found dead in his
bed the next day. Whereupon the
story is published far and wide, and the
poor woman is set down as "The Fatal
Patient" whom it is dangerous for any
physician to treat. And yet n, person
of ordinary intelligence would see any
thing very remarkable in the e. Incidence
described. Analyst.
