and j. W. Hustled, Jr.-and his two daugh-
ters, Mrs. Fred Shedd and Miss Hustled.
James w. Hustled was born at Bedford,
Westchester county, this state, in 1893.
After preparation for college at the Bed
ford academy he graduated at Yale in 1854,
one of his college mates being Chauncey
M Depew, in after life one of his most in
timate friends.
For over thirty years he was in active po-
litical life. Among the offices he held was
that of superintendent of schools, school
commissioner, deputy superintendent of
the insurance department, harbor MASTER
emigration commissioner and deputy cap
tain of the port of New York. He invaria-
bly, took an active interest in the National
guard of the state, and was himself mem
Der OF it, serving as judge advocate of the
Seventh brigade and as major general of
the Fifth division. He was also an influ-
ential and distinguished member of the
Masonic fraternity, and once held the posi-
ton of grand master of that body in this
state. He received the thirty-thrd degree
as a Mason.
In National Conventions.
General Hustled was an unconpromising
Republican from 1859, and attended the
national conventions of the party as dele
gate in 1876 1880, 1884, 1888 and 1892 In
1881 he was a candidate for state treasurer,
but was defeated by Robert A. Maxwell
1t was however, as a member and speaker
of the state assembly that Mr.. Hustled at
tracted most attention and acquired fame
He was a strong debater and hard man
to engage with on a question of parliamen-
tary law. His advent to the assembly was
in 1889, representing Westchester county,
and he was continuously member until
1878. In the latter year he was elected an
assemblyman from Rockland county and
was reelected from that county in 1879
Returning to Westchester county in 1880
he was again elected to serve his old con
stituenoy.
He was first chosen for speaker in 1874,
and filled that position during five subse-
quent sessions, namely, 1875, 1878, 1886, 1887
and 1890 As presiding officer he was
able, courageous and firm. He was the
Republican leader in the assembly during
the session 1912, and enjoyed the distinc-
tion of having had the longest legislative
service of any member, and indeed the
longest of any man in the history of the
state-twenty-two years. He was speaker
more times than any other man who has
occupied the chair.

4ssTo DETERMINATIONS,

There is a good deal of interest for
PIttsburg in the agitation of Philadelphia
over the existence of railroad discrimina-
tions against her commerce. The Phila-
delphians are beginning to find out that
the practice of making lower rates to
ports where the railways met the strongest
competition and of successfully shutting
competition out of Philadelphia has re-
duced the export trade of that city to q
minimum.
They have found that while the rail
routes afford the means of bringing grain
to that city from the West, from the lakes
and from the interior of the State, the ad-
juStment of rates is such that the grain
obStinately goes to other cities. Their
latest discovery is that the rates estab-
lished by the practical monopoly OF the
railway traffic of the interior of the State
result in the fact 'fthat immense stocks
of grain are held at this time by farmers
in Pennsylvania, and that an equitable re-
duction in rates from the interior OF the
State would result in a resumption OF the
movement Of wheat, which, for some
time, has practically ceased from many
points naturally tributary to Phiiadel-
phia.'
All this is not unaccompanied with a
certain unhallowed satisfaction to the
PittSburg mind. For it happens to be the
fact that the same OF very similar inequi-
ties of freight rates were the subject OF
agitation for Pittsburg business interests
years ago; and the fact is to be noted that
the efforts to rectify these evils met with
very slight support from Philadelphia.
When Pittsburg, in union with other inter-
ests, sought for legislation to regulate rail-
way Determinations, the presence and
cOuntenance of the few Philadelphians
emphasized the fact that the majority of
Philadelphia's business interests did not
care to take hold When Pittsburg was
struggling against the notification of the
constitution which suppressed the build
ing OF new trunk line through the State,
Philadelphia's support was conspicuous
by its absence. The supremacy of sin
gle railroad corporation in the interior
traffic of the State has been largely due to
the subServience or Indifference of Phila-
delphia's business interests. The present
complaints may fairly be regarded as indi-
eating the logical result of Philadelphia's
course for the past two decades.
If Philadelphia is now fairly awakened
to the degree of joining hands with the
rest of the State, something may be done
toward placing the railway business on
the basis of impartial justice to all ship
pers, interests and localities. 1t may,
however, be necessary for Philadelphia's
business interests to feel the squeeze more
severely before they are aroused to the
full necessities of the case.

SOME OF THEIR TRAITS.

SIR C. GAvAN DUFFY has one of the
finest collections of rare and little known
gems in the world.
MISS ETHEL MACKENZIE, daughter of
the great throat doctor, is the London cor
respondent of a Chicago daily paper.
THE young Empress of Germany is a
champion knitter, and uses big wooden
needles for most of the work she does.
THE Lord Chief Justice of England, Lord
Coleridge, is a great believer in the univer-
sal penny post, and has signed several petit
tions to that effect.
THE King of the Belgians always sleeps
on a camp bed. He is an adversary OF capi-
tai punishment, and no execution has taken
place in Brussels during his reign
THE Empress Eugenie always has on her
writing table miniature statue of her son
made by the late Prince Victor. 1t is of solid
bronze, and supported on pedestal of four
French eagles.
Mr.. ARTHUR BALFoUR, the late Irish
Secretary, says he owes much of his success
in life to his sister. Miss Balfour is devoted to
her brother, keeps house for him, and sees
to all his private and unofficial correspond
ence.
THE most eloquent pulpit orator in Can
ada is DR.. George Douglass. He is blind,
and his hands fall helpless in front of him
from paralysis, SO that he appears half dead.
But no one that hears his voice can remain
insensible to the charms of his oratory.

WHERE Is THE RESPONSIBILITY?

The charge of Judge Nelson to the
United States grand jury at Boston indi-
Gates further doubt in the mind of the
law as to the enforcement of criminal re-
sponsibility for bank-wrecking even under
the national banking law. The Supreme
Court in the Buffalo case very decidedly
limited the responsibility of directors, and
intimated that the law must look to the
people actively engaged in the manage
ment of The bank. But in the case of the
Maverick National Bank at Boston, which
was notoriously wrecked by the President
and two directors, the Judges charge in
dicates broad loopholes of escape for
those who actively manage bank for its
destruction.
If this view should prevail it threatens
to become vital question whether the
penal safeguards of the national banking
act have enough left of them to swear by.
1t being iudicialIy determined that direc-
tors cannot be held responsible for not di-
recting, and the doubt being raised
whether managers can be criminally pun
ished for managing bank to its downfall,
while the administration presents an un-
questionable exemplifcation of a Comp
troller who does not control, the condi-
tions bid fair to afford good deal of vim
dication for the ancient practice of doing
banking business in an old stocking

PlTTsEURG. TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 3
TWELVE PAGES
NI>CoNsIRUCTIoN IMPossIBLE.

There is disposition in some quarters
TO insist that Mr.. Blaine's letter is not con-
elusive: but, making every allowance for
its brevity and even frigidity, we do not
see how it is at all possible to MAINTAIN
the idea that he may yet be the Republl-
can candidate for President. The Secre-
tary of State was already cOnversant With
the popular understanding that he was
not candidate in the sense of seeking
the office. He knew that the movement
was to tender him the nomination unanl-
mously if he would only consent: and 1t
would have been no vanity in him to be
aware that only his own distinct refusal
not the ambition of any other asplrant,
or the second choice preferences-could
prevent that elimination of the canvass.
Under these circumstances, there would
be neither motive nor sense in his letter
Yesterday published, if it was to be con-
strued as admitting of q reading between
the lines, conveying some other sense
than the one clearly expressed in its
words.
MI Blaine certainly has no reason to be
otherwise than frank and direct. We
rather think the letter if anything, was
meant to be specially frank and direct
Its very brerity-almost curtness-ap-
pears to be meant in the spirit of conclu-
siveness rather than of divided thought
or repressed ambition.
1t is cause for national regret that the
Republicans are not to be led this year by
the brainiest man now in public life in the
United States. But nothing can be gained
and some harm may be done, by clinging
to the belief that there is still a possibility
of Blaine heading the ticket. Too much
depends upon preparing for the actual
situation, and securing hearty union
upon whoever. is to take his place, to
waste time or lead to further diappoint-
ment in mere Imagination.

No Observation of the New Scotch Discovery

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb S.-The news received
from Boston of the discovery of remarka-
Bile new star by Scottish astronomer created
much interest among scientists on the Pa
clnc coast. telephone message was sent
to Prof s. W. Burnham at Lick Observatory
last night requesting any information that
he might have gained from an examination
OF the star, but he explained that every
night recently the Mt. Hamilton astrono-
mers have been hindered by totally OBJ
scured sky, and that there had been no
chance for observation. Prof. Burnham
said to-day that possibly during the night
but he deemed it very improbable. The
new star, he said, is of such Il magnitude as
TO be d1scerned in clear weather withoutany
art1hclal aid, and to be distinctly seen
through an ordinary pair of opera glasses.
local astronomer said in an interview:
Nv know that solar hydrogen flames, as
seen during total eclipses and exhibited ut
quently shoot out to the di- tance of 10000
miles from the sun. IT then, as is not i'm
possible, an outburst should take place sim1-
lar to those which have caused telescope
stars to become plainly visible to the naked
eye,what would become of this earth and AL
the other planets, together with the inha b1-
tants thereof. There is little room for doubt
that q realization of this idea would imme-
d1ately result in the extinction of all animal

BLAINE'S WITHDRAWAL.

WITHOUT Blaine, what? An open-to-all
race, with the chances in favor of the per-
petua.ly reappearing dark horse.-Ney York
World
UNTIL Mr.. Blaine makes a more definite
statement than is contained in his letter to
Mr. Clarkson, he will still be factor in the
coming convention. But of this we shall
probably know more as time passes on
Philadelphia Inquirer.
REPUBLICANS who will accept his letter as
a positive declination will do so with sincere
regret, believing that the result of the cam
paign and the good of the country are by
this declination given some uncertainty
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
THE great American statesman has an
nounced a decision which is remuneration
of the Presidential office, and he must now be
AIKEN at his word as to decided aversion to
the candidacy OF 1892 whatever the future
may bring forth.-Ne,U York Recorder.
Mr. BLAINE's letter will be very disap-
pointing to those who have been counting
upon seeing him in the field at the head of
his party in the coming contest, and many
will insist upon urging his nomination not
withstanding his declination.-Cyeuela
Leader.
No misunderstanding of Mr.. Blaine's terms
is possible. For the second time the brilliant
statesman whose splendid services to the
Republican party and the nation have made
him stronger with the people than any living
man has resolutely declined the nomination
for the Presidency.-NeD York Press.
THIS formal announcement will cause sor-
row and Disappointment to thousands of Re-
publicans, and there is no reason for dis
sembling that fact. No other living Ameri-
can has inspired such Sardent devotion, and
upon no other have so many Americans
longed to confer the greatest distinction
within their gift-Ne,o York Tribune.
For months past Secretary Blaine has been
the only man in the Republican party who
could prevent his own nomination for the
Presidency. The letter which he has ad-
dressed to Mr.. Clarkson removes him from
the field. Direct. manly and unmistakable.
it leaves no question as to his intentions and
ends all doubt as to his PhzadeI

LIVED ON DRY BEANS.
Hard Experience of Trio of Maryland
Duck Hunters

CHEsTERTowN, Nd, Feb. s.-Three sports
men of Betterton, this county, had most
unique and uncomfortable experience dur
ing the cold spell Of last week Thomas
Lockard, H. Owens and Trott, just before
the close OF navigation on the Sassafras
river, crossed over in a small skiff to Crown
hart's fishing shore, on the river side of
Grove Point, for the purpose of enjoying
several days ducking. A sufficient supply of
game was taken to last the party for several
days, and headquarters were taken up in a
comfortable fishing shanty.
Navigation suddenly closed about the
same time that the young sportsmen's sup
ply of provisions exhausted, and they were
forced to resort to dry beans, which were
found in the shanty and some stale crusts of
bread. Friends at Betterton were Watching
the proceedings at the duckers' camp from
across the river by means of spy-glasses.
When finally one of the party was missed,
serious fears were entertained concerning
the welfare of the castaways. A rescuing
party was placed on a sled and crossed the
river and brought two of the men over. The
third man, Trott, having become weary of
the novelty of camp life had in the mean
time started for home on foot, and footsore
and weary after a walk OF 35 miles around
the head of the SaSsafras, reached home Just
an hour and a half later than his COM
panions. The game secured during the trip
was four ducks.
