This system will quite effectually pre-

mond. We sincerely trust that DR.. Wood
will meet with the encouragement
needed to assure success, and all humane

God speed In his noble work.

Some days ago we received a letter
(Which was inadvertently mislaid) from a
gentleman in New York. stating that a
young woman had been arrested In that
city for theft, and she claims to be
daughter Of General J. L. b. Stuart.
He writes us that he is satisfied that her
statement is false. and he asks US TO
put him in possession Of facts so that he
can publicly deny It.
The woman is a base imposter. Cen

The New York Commercial Bulletin OF
Saturday in an article headed What II
the Conference Fails?" says that 1t has
always favored genuine bimetalism, which
REQUIRES that the relative values Of sill
yer and gold shall be determined by
general agreement amongst nations such
an agreement 1t maintains. would be the
very perfection of a bimetallic currency
as the value Of silver would then be
guaranteed to remain at parity with
gold, and "silver bullion, being legally
made convertible on demand into legal
tender coin Of guaranteed stability, would
of necessity be Of equal value with coin
less the costs Of mintage."
The Bulletin then goes on to say that
the Brussels Conference can, If 1t will,
guarantee us this genuine bimetalism,
but that the whole attitude Of the Euro
pean Governments towards the United
States in the Brussels Conference has
been that Of ill-concealed financial chal-
lenge Whereupon 1t expresses the opin-
ion that 'if the result of the Conference
requires it, we shall take up the glove
with light heart. little fearing that our
ready means of defense will prove quite
equal to dealing with the antique panoply
under which European finance so Jauntily
parades its supposed superior strength
and stability"

~
ment which Jay Gould in his will paid
his son George when he said of him that
he had developed an uncommon aptitude
for business. Presumably, Jay meant
that George was a chip Of the old block.
in which case, all who knew jays esti-
mate of Georges capacity, will lock
their strong boxes and button up their
pockets when George comes around.
Some Of Jays performances as a ma
nipulator of finance exceed anything ever
Dreamed Of by Robin Hood. The Erie
case is not the least remarkable. He was
president of the road for ten years At
the end of the time there had not been
added mile of track, the facilities for
transportation were in nowise increased,
the property was in no way improved.
But the stock and bond Indebtedness Of
the road was increased $65, 900, and
none of the proceeds of this enormous
burden were in the treasury. Now, If
George has developed an extraordinary
aptitude for this sort Of business the
country will have snapped the Devil for
witch In losing Jay to acquire George.
The Washington Post asks: us 1t Mr..
Harrison's last messenger and says that
a great many people thought Mr.. Cleve-
lands message to the Fiftieth Congress at
its second session was his last. The cases
are by no means parallel. very large
majority Of the Democratic party did not
believe, by any means, that the message
alluded TO was Mr.. Clevelands last. be-
cause, though defeated in the electoral
college in 1883 through shameless corrup-
ton Of the ballot box, he was still the
favorite of the people OF the country by
100, 900 majority. and the much larger
element OF his party. from the day Of his
defeat, never ceased to believe that he
would again fill the Executive chair which
he had already so eminently adorned.
But Mr.. Harrison not only is overwhelmed
in the electoral college and by the popu-
lar vote. but only succeeded in receiving
the support Of a mere faction OF his own
party. There is no point of comparison
between the cases OF Cleveland and Har-

CONCORD, N. H., Dec. 27.--The Saw

telle, under sentence OF execution for
the killing Of his brother Hiram, died
in prison yesterday morning. The
murder was ono Of the most mysteri-
Gus in the criminal annals Of the
United States and the ensuing trial
was long drawn-ou sensation.
} On the afternoon OF Wednesday,
February 5, 1890. while driving over a
road between Rochester, N. H., and
Lebanon, Me-, Isaac B. Sawtelle shot
and killed his brother Hiram F. The
body was found in a shockingly
mutilated condition on the afternoon
Of February IA.
At the coroners' inquests, held both
in Maine and New Hampshire, it was
decided that the murder had been
committed in New Hampshire. Saw
telle's counsel maintained that the
murder had been committed in Maine,
where the extreme penalty was i'm
prisonment for life. Tho States At
torney successfully argued that New
Hampshire was the scene of the
crime, and Isaac was convicted Of
murder in the first degree, and was
sentenced to be hanged in December

Stop Throwing Rice.
THE COMMANDMENT OF BRIDES A pRAc.
TIcE MUCH CONDEMNED.

wish few heavy sweils would set
their faces against the bideous rice
scuiile de riguour at the close of we'd
ding receptions. The custom of throw
ing rice at departing lovers comes to
us from the East, where rice is a sign
of plenty and prosperity. This en-
blematic idea is lost, and, instead of
few grains softly falling, we pelt and
smother and lombard our brides with
thorough brutality, and finally the prac-
tice has degenerated into a senseless
and unseemly fight. Formerly the" GO
ing of" with the pretty travelling toilet,
the handshaking, friendly speeches and
farewell kisses was charming epilogue
to a trying drama. Now this episode
is a thing of the past. When the bride
emerges ready to start on life's journey
her heart must fail at the thought of
the ordeal in prospect. She says her
principal adieus in private, for the
guests, like ravening wolves await her
below. A seried phalanx blocks the
halls, lines the staircase, and extends
in masses to the door of the carriage.
Flushed and excited faces are turned
toward the victims, and every strong
right hand is clenched. The BRIDE
groom, white, determined and awk-
ward, joins his wife, and they make a
desperate rush. But it is of no avail
The upheaving hordes close upon them;
the singing grain is hurled in their
smarting faces, trlckles down their
backs, gets into their mouths and up
their sleeves. Farewels are impossible,
and no one gets a glimpse of the fault
less costume evolved with such talent
and time. With the instinct of self
preservation the bride defends herself
as best she can, and the couple literally
fight their way, breathless and dishev-
elled. With supreme effort they
gain the door, bolt like rabbits into the
brougham, and the couple, who have
earned little spoony peace, are forced
to travel and make love with a pound

OFFICIALS MAY Be INDICTED.
The Grand Jury VIII Investigate tho
~. Hastings Disaster

] WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Dec. 29.-Dis-
trict- Attorney William Popham Platt,
OF Westchester County, has begun an
investigation Of the accident on the
New York Central Railroad at Hast
ings.
3 He has resolved to present evidence
before the next Grand Jury which
will probably result In the indictment
of officials OF tho Central system, to-
gether with Albert E. Herrick, the
brakeman, to whose criminal negli-
gence the accident was due.
The district-attorney expresses the
belief that other men besides Herrick
are, to certain extent, responsible,
because Of the alleged altering Of the
schedule Of trains departing from the
Grand Central Station on the fatal
night, without notifying the station
agents at each station that the way
train bound for Croton had been
taken off the run that evening.
