Not Innocent but Acquisitive.


The Detroit Free Press pays its edi-
torial respects to branch of the imita-
ton insurance business, as follows:
"The endowment orders in Massachu-
sets are travelling rough and rugged
road. Out of twenty-eight which sent
in a semi-annual report to the insurance
commissioner in June last, seven have
since gone into the hands of receivers.
and two of them, the largest and third
largest, are now on trial. At the time
the reports were made the companies
had assets due members of 81, 1862, 1856,
of which S1.213,S25 was in the state
treasury. Now seventeen of the COM
panies have S377.S $40 in the state treas
ury. and two more have nothing. There
is petition before the Massachusetts
legislature to wind them ali up and to
prohibit the endowment business here
after; and it would have been thou
sands of dollars in the pockets of the
poor investors in these concerns if there
had been such law years ago. 1t is
little singular that in Massachusetts,,

the average in point of intelligence,
swlndlers of this.character seem to -four
ish with vigOr which they rarely at

believe that it is because the people of
the state are more guileless their breth-
rem of the other states; but we are very
much afraid that their peculiar suscep-
tibility to the wiles of the swindler who
comes with an offer of an extraordinary
return on investments is due TO their
acquiSltiyeness, rather than innocence.

Alleged Cause OF Mrs. Maybrick's
Recent Illness.


Recent Illness.
LONDON, Dec. 81. = Baroness de
Rogue, mother OF Mrs. May brick, states
today that her daughters health is i'm
proving. The Exchange Telegraph
company also says that Mrs. Maybrick
is recovering, adding that the hemor-
rhages with which she was recently
attacked and which caused the reports
that she was in dying condition were
caused by herself and not by the raw
ages of consumption. According to
some of the newspapers mere the re-
ported illness of Mrs. Maybrick was
nothing less thsn an attempt on her
part.to create public sympathy for her
self. and to induce Mr.. Asquite, the
home secretary, to release her from
confinement
The ST. James Gazette today prints an
article OH Mrs. Maybrck and congratu-
lates the public on the nOn-success of
the ingenious attempt to regain her
freedom The Gazette declares that her
illness was caused by her swallowing a
lot of needles that she had secreted from
time to time. These needles produced
an effusion of blood and other symptoms
of lung disease, and the report was at
once circulated that she was dying from
consumption.

COVERED WITH BLAZING OIL.
Three Accidents Caused by a
Lamp Explosion.

MILLERSBURG, o.. Dec. 31.-A young
daughter of Louis McVey this morning
attempted to extinguish a large hang
ing lamp by blowing i'll the chimney
top. There was terrific explosion
which knocked the girl down, and COW
cred her clothing with the blazing Oil.
A sister sprang to her assistance, fight
ing the fire with utter disregard of her
own danger, until she was terribly
burned about the arms and upper body.
Before the burning clothing could be
torn off the girl who caused the eX-
plosion she was fatally burned, the
flesh in many places being lit
orally roasted to the bones. The
mother Of the girls has been confined
to her bed for some time, and was in a
very feeble condition. But the spec
tacle of her children being burned to
death before her nerved her to the eff
fort of getting out of bed and trying to
get bucket OF water to throw over the
shrieking girls. As she stopped to raise
the bucket of water her strength gave
way and she fell heavily to the floor,
breaking her arm. The injury and
shock combined, in her delicate state,
leaves her in precariOuS condition.
The first daughter is dying from her
burns. and the sister is in danger from
the combined effects Of her injuries and
the prostration following her fight with
the fire in the efforts to save her sisters

JoHNDUss. ECoNoM,TE.

Among the rapid rises in life which
messed, none is more notable than that
of JOHN DUss, who succeeds Father
HENRICI in the Economic leadership.
The Economic society was founded
by GEORGE RAPP in the early part of
the present century. Its first settle
ment was in Pennsylvania, whence
there was removal to Indiana, only to
be followed by speedy return to
Beaver county. Pa, where the society
still fourshes financially, but has nu-
mericaly dwindled to very meager pro-
portions.
In founding the society it was Father
RAPP'S intention simply to reproduce
in the new worlds wilderness the COM
munistic Christianity of that early day
when prosecuted bands of ChriSt's fol-
lowers held both their faith and their
worldly goods in common. Father
RAPP was not himself a celibate, but
celibacy was subsequently adopted as
an Economic principle. The members
of the society have been shrewd and
thrifty without exception, and the re-
suit is a common fund of over $50, 900, 900.
AS puSsessorS of this vast property there
are only thirty-four members left;
thirty-four spinsters and bachelors, each
of whom, in division of the property,
would approach millionairedom. The
society is destined to total extinction,
for membership is too valuable to be
given except for consideration which
no man or woman able to pay it would
be willing to pay. and as an additional
penalty embrace celibacy and aSceticism
OF course membership can be granted
TO those who apply sincerely and with
no lust after mammon, even though they
come empty handed. But who in these
degenerate days can prove to these
astute old men and women degree of
religious fervor which can endure eel
ibacy anC asceticism with no thought of
the $30,G00,0 900 compensation?
JOHN DUSs alone has proved it to
them in recent times. Sixteen years
ago, at the age of sixteen, JOHN DUss
was graduated from soldiers orphan
asylum. His mother was a chorewom-
an for the Economic millionaires. The
boys apparently sincere pety and self
abnegation, combined with his unusual
intellectual ability. gained him election
as member and ''elder" in the society
when he was scarcely past his twenty
fifth year. Two years ago he was elect
ed co-trustee with Father HENRICI
The latter. good man, was buried las
Tuesday, and now, at thirty-two year.
of age, JOHN DUss finds himself sole
trustee of the Economic property
almost absolute master of thirty mill
ions of dollars! He cannot squan
der these millions in riotous living
nor let his wife squander them, because
riOtOuS living and wives are alike
tabooed by the Economic cult. But hi
can use this vast wealth in ways tina
are much pleasanter to most men anC
to some women than the mere gratifica
tlon of luxurious personal tastes. III

GOOD SENSE.

An English Judge, one of the ablest,
lately charged the jury in murder case
resulting from blow given in return
for the epithet of liar. that "if one man
calls another man liar, slight blow
in retaliation is justifiable."' He added
that "this may be new law, but it is
common sense" 1t is common sense
everywhere, and especiallyin this state,
where we have an act TO punish the use
of abusive language, the effect of which
is to make the use of such language the
equivalent of an assault. "He struck
me first" is good defense to charge
for an assault and battery, if proven.
Teachers and parents and courts recog-
nze its validity. The verdict for the
defendant expressed in everyday Ian
guage, is that sit served him right" If
there be logic in law, then making
provoke breach of the peace" an as
sault is defense if it do provoke a
breach of the peace. 1t means that
words may be blows, and, it logically
follows. may be repealed with blows.
But at least one district court in this
state overruled an attempt to interpoSe
such defense with a smile half deris-
ion, halt pity, for the daring innovator
who presumed TO come into court lean
ing on common sense instead of on the
crutch of precedent. Judge WRIGHT's
decision will ripen into precedent.

INTRIGUING FOR a THRONE.
French Orleanists Have Not Given
UP Hopes.

LONDON, Dec. 31.-The Orleanists
have by no means abandoned the hope
of regaIning the throne of France
through reyulsion in republican senti-
ment caused by the revelations in the
Panama affair. What tine present in
tentions of the Orieansts are it would
be hard to say, but it is evident
that some project is contemplated
thatis intended to lead to the overturn--
ing of the republic and the establish
ment of monarchy. The count of
Paris has telegraphed to his son. the
Duke of Orleans, who is now travelling
in lndO-China, to hasten his return i'll
order that he may take part in the de-
lberations OF the Orleans party.
In English circles it is be-
leved that there is no chance
of the Vaccinations of the
French royalists and imperialists prov
ing successful. 1t is thought that the
French government, by pursuing those
Implicated in the Panama scandal to
punishment, will establish the republic
OH sounder foundations than before, and
will render such an evil as the Panama
affair hereafter impossible.
