A MELANCHOLY ANNIVERSARY.
In the old copy books we used to read
that ''Time is the tried and final friend of
truth" 1t ia certain that time not infre-
quently changes entirely what were sup
posed to be we'll and soundly formed judg-
ments. Something which will happen in
Danvers Center, Massachusetts, to-day
sharply illustrates this. Rebecca Nurse of
Salem suffered martyrdom for witchcraft
two hundred yesrs ago. The village pas
tor was one of her chief prosecutors, and
public feeling, which had been wrought to
the highest pitch of excitement, was salts
fled with nothing short Of her death She
was q gediy woman but the common belief
was that no sanctity was proef against the
wiles Of the adversary, land that persons
suspected of collusion with the devil
should have no credit for the honest Chris
tian life they had hitherto led. To-day,
the 200th anniversary of the martyrdom
of Mrs. Nurse, there will be religious
services at Danvers Center, where she
lived, in commemoration of her virtues
tablet inscribed with the names of the
forty neighbors and friends who gave
written testimony in her behalf in 1892
will be erected in the cemetery near her
Her house is still standing
and the very room from which she was
taken before the judges remains as it was
two centuries ago, and will be open to in
terested visitors.
Poor Rebecca, poor prosecutors and
poor pastor, who thought he was doing
God service. 1t is too melancholy to
think about. Thank God that forty of
her neighbors and friends were loyal to
her and were not given over to the cruel
demon of misepplied religious zeal.

three to four parts of Spanish white are
added. The latter is decomposed and pre-.
cipitated as lime tartrate. The dark blue
| liquid, after fltering, can be used as bath
for the sheet zinc or for the production of
copper-plsting paste. An immovable zinc
object can be painted with the copper So
luton and a chalk compound that can be

Reports gathered by the New England
Homestead indicate that the tobacco farm
ers of the Connecticut valley will have no
reason this year to find fault with the Nc
Kinley tariff. Several leading tobacco
growers have contracted to sell this years
crop at from 25 to 80 cents per pound Last
years crop has been cleaned out as never
before. A Suffield man is reported TO have
sold Ave cases of the choicest Havana seed
wrappers at 60 cents per pound, the high
est price paid since 1875. This is the di-
rect result of the Mckinley tariff. Under
the old law, Sumatra tobacco, grown by
cheap coolie labor, was allowed to take
possession of our markets, and tobacco
growing became SO improbable that it
was abandoned by many farmers. Now
that the American market is protected
from cheap Dutch competition, the farm
ers have fair chance. They can sell all
the tobacco they can raise at fair price

A RIOToUS BRIDE.
The Groom the Principal Sufferer, but
Several Others Disabled

From the Pittsburg Dispatch-l
A wedding occurred on the Southside
last night which ended in a riot in which
three people were badly cut. The bride
figured as the principal rioter, and her
husband ss the chief victim. Sadie Mshue
and Grant sherring were married at the
house of William Galbreath, on the old
Tenth street road above Welsh row. There
was large crowd present to celebrate, and
considerable drinking.
Robert Galbreath, a brother of William,
lives in a house on the hillside almost ad-
adjoining, and his family was at the wed
ding. About IL o'clock the crowd became
hilarious and divided into two factions. The
trouble arose over question of relation

were drawn and battle begun. The Ma

and dashed him across the stomach, cutting

was seized by three men and dragged out
to the street, disarmed, and thrown over
the embankment leading down TO Welsh
row. She scrambled mp again, ran into the
house by q rear door, got another knife. and

HLADY HELPS,,

Some years ago what was called Gladly
1t was based on the idea that there are two
kinds of women who work-women and
"ladies." 1t WAS a flat failure, but another
attempt is to be made. The Household
Auxiliary association has been formed.
Both employers and applicants for stu
ations are to supply references on register
ing their names as annual members. The
"ladies" who take service are not to be re-
quired to take their meals or share sleep
ing-room with regular servants, nor will
they be asked to undertake scrubbing,
backing boots, or carrying heavy weights
upstairs, although special agreements may
be made in particular cases. This is the
plan adopted by the Gentlewomen's
Employment association in Manchester,
which has been in operation for a little
more than year, and has just issued it's
first report. From this it appears that
the "lady helps" are most de-
sirous of finding situations as
companions, positions which are
about the most difficult of all to find. There
is good demand for nurses and plenty of
''ladies'' willing to undertake the duties of
such places. but, curiously enough, most
of the employers seem to think that "Iady
helps" ought to be willing to work for much
smaller wages than those paid to regular
servants, or even for no wages at all, for
the sake of getting comfortable home.
1t is evident that efforts to find easy
places for ladies" who must work with
other '1adies" who want good deal of
work done, and well done, will be sur
rounded with difficulties. The women who
work on business principles and demand
the best pay there is going for efficient
service may be considered inferior to the
''lady helps" but they are really better
off. Shall we have gentlemen assistants"

SWEATING GOLD COIN.
The Pacific Coast fs Fostering an In
FAINT Industry.

The Pacific Coast is Fostering an In
FAINT Industry.
From the San Francisco Examiperl
Sweating gold coin Is becoming quite an
extensive industry on the Pacific coast.
Certainly it is annoying for mercantile
house to send quantity of eagles and half
eagles to the sub-treasury to be changed
into silver and have the Jealous servants
of Uncle Sam stamp across their face in
deep, ineffsceable letters, light" But
this is just what happens lots of times;
and it is all due to the Sweating" indus
try.
Sweating" is the name applied TO a
process by which the manipulator consid-
erably enr:ches himself. number of
gold pieces are placed together in cham
ois bag and then vigorously shaken and
ratified. By that means small particles of
gold are detached from the coins without
their appearance being in any wise disfig-
ured. To the eye they look Just as though
they were perfectly Spod, Of full weight
and perfect manufacture. But the exouf-
sirely fine scales used at the sub-treasury
tell different tale.
Each ten dollar gold piece Is several
grains lighter than 1t ought to be, and
these several grains multiplied by the
number of pieces IN the chainois bag re-
dound to the profit of the sweater, for af-
ter they are shaken hard enough the in
dustrious gentleman dumps them out,
puts them carefully away and then boils
the chamois sack SO that all the loosened
PARTICLES accumulate Then he melts and
markets them, and going out exchanges
bis sweated gold pieces for Others of diff
ferent denominations.
In that manner the merchants of San
Francisco are robbed, tor that is what il
amounts to- Some of them. however,
knowing of the fate their gold coin Is like
ly to meet at the sub-tressury, send moth
ing but greenbacks and gold notes. This
is the reason that greenbacks are gradual
ly getting TO be in greater demand
For good many years past the law in
regard TO this matter has been inoDerative
but within a recent period the authorities
in Washington have decided that il must
be strictly enforced. To that end rigid or
ders have been Issued that all gold money
found to be below the standard weight
must be stamped light" across the face
Private individuals and merchants are
not the only ones 10 suffer from this reeu-
lation. On several occasions the postofice
authorities and those in authority at the
custom house have sent gold coin to the
sub-treasury to be changed into silver of
smaller denominations. 1t has been found
to be of light weight and has been threat
ened with defaeement. But owing to the
objections of the Federal officials it has
been returned to them unstsmped.
Although this law may appear TO be a
harsh one, 1t is not regarded in that light
by the United States officials. They cay
that If 1t were not in existence the incen-
ttyH In min
and a flood of lightweight coin would be
let loose on the public.
