GOLD AND SILVER.

Secretary Carlisle VIII Endeavor to Main
tain the Parity of the Two Metals.
WASHINGTON, March 1o.-Secretary Car
Isle authorized the announcement that he
would exercise all the power and discretion
vested in him TO uphold the credit of the
government and to maintain the parity of
gold and silver. The statement was made
TO brush away the endless string of rumors
that have gained circulation about what
he contemplated doing as to maintaining
the gold reserve intact, as TO issuing bonds,
or as TO paying United States notes and
United States treasury notes in silver
when the free gold was exhausted, etc.
The example Of ver in Offering 81 .O0O.-
0OO for treasury has been followed by
Chicago banker, oho yesterday offered
100000 In gold for United States notes.
AT the treasury department it is thought
that bankers in other cities will do like
wise.
There is feeling of relief as to the gold
balance ut the treasury, and unless exports
OF gold on Saturday are unusually heavy,
OF which no information has yet been re-
ceived, the treasury department will have
ample gold to supply the demand

sseks to Recover From an Estate After
Time Allotted by Law Has Passed.
BosToN, March 10.-Money Lender Sam
mel Thompson's equity suit against Charles
III. Bush, administrator of the estate of
Thomas Lord, was attacked as not stat
ing good and sufficient grounds for relief
in equity. Justice Knowlton in. the su-
preme court heard counsel upon de-
murrer filed by the administrator to the
plaintiffs suit.
Tompson, on Dec "a, 1885, obtained a
Judgment against the deceased for Sl2. .326

Lord died. Bush assumed charge of the
property left by Lord and filed an in
ventory In the probate court. This docu-
ment showed the amount Of property left
by the deceased to have been s262 Tomp-
son said he relied upon the statements in
the inventory and suffered the two years
that he had to sue the estate to recover the
judgment to 90 by.
IL now turns out that his deceased judQ-
ment debtor left large interests in valuable
property He now wants chance to share
In this, but the defendant says he is not
entitled TO any relief and the law gives him
no remedy. The court reserved its deci-
sion.

TUCKERMAN WILL CASE.
Decision Rendered Allowing the Final
Testament of Deceased

D~esio" rendered Allowing the Final
Testament of Deceased.
SALEM, Mass, March 10.-The Tucker
man will case has been decided. Yester-
day Judge McKim Of the probate court en-
tered decree allowing the will over which
there has been contest lasting for nearly
two years.
Samuel Parkman Tuckerman, a we'll
known member Of a well-known Salem
family, died at Newport in $780, leaving an
estate valued at something over Sc. 900 to
his nephew, Frederick Tuckerman of
Amherst, and cutting off his daughter
Mary without giving her dollar. Miss
Tuckerman, who was i'm Europe at the
time, at once returned to this country and
began contest, alleging that her father
was of unsound mind when he made his
will
The case attracted considerable atten
ton, owing to the prominence of several
of the principals and witnesses. The evi
dence tended TO show that DIR. Tuckerman
had taken a violent dislike to some of his
daughters friends, especially Miss Nc
kenzie, and that he had practically driven
her from home because of her unwilling
ness to break with her friends.
The evidence, however, il appears was
not sufficient To satisfy Judge McKim that
the deceased was of unsound mind. An
appeal will doubtless be taken.

SAT ON HER LAP.

a fair maiden Of Minneapolis has
brought suit against the street railway
company of that city to recover $4,000
because. while she was riding in car
the other night, man sat on her lap.
Now. the opportunity for a girl to
hold man on her lap is so very rare
that most people are ready to believe
that the one who would decline it is
still rarer; and it is a matter of cOnSld-
cradle speculation rs to what it really
was that hurt the feelings of the miss.
There are good many ways to account
for it.
For instance, she may object to hold
ing a man to whom she has not been in
truduced, and feel offended at the COM
pany because it does not employ for its
cars people to perform this ceremony.
This theory IS made very plausible by
the fact that the girl brought the suit
against the company, instead of the
man who sat on her lap.
Again, the car may have been so
crowded that she could not exchange
places with the man. Naturally, wOm-
an feels delicate about holding a man,
when she would feel ever so nice if she
were the holden party.
The man may have been SO ungainly
and ugly as to cause a commotiOn
among the spectators, in which case
she undoubtedly holds the company re-
sponsible for not picking out better
looking man to sit on her lap. Women
WON'T mt nm with men they can't feel
proud of.
She alleges in her complaint that the
fellow was a heavy man. And this
gives rise to one more theory. She may
feel that the company should keep
scales TO weigh all men who apply for
admission to cars, aud make the heavy
men walk.
There are many other ways Of looking
at the matter. But the foregoing are
sufficient to make it clear that the girl
is mad at the company, and not the man
who sat on her lap.
