THE RENAISSANCE.
At Present a Popular and
Fashionable Craze.
How Few There Are Who Real
ly Know What the Word
Means.
Interesting Explanation and the
True Application ofthe Word.

TIE ''Ren aissance" is upon everybody's
lips: il is the popular crazs OF the day.
and is applied indiscriminately by the
votaries OF fashion. How few there are
who really know the meaning of the
word
Renaissance means new birth. a new
life, to be created anew. The name when
applied to ART, style or furnishings has
not one tithe the meaning 1t has when
applied to that grand subject, health. To
be restored TO health is the true "renais-
sance," to be truly created anew.
Speaking upon this most interesting
subject of restoration OF health, the we'll
known Mrs. Albert Colby. of Laconia, N.
H., says:

THOMPSON AT LIBERTY.
Verdict Against the Evidence In tn
Granddaughter Case.

Manslaughter Case.
BOSTON, Oct 2l.-George Thompson,
who last month was convicted of the
crime of manslaughter in causing the
death Of Mary F. Thompson, his wife, was
yesterday afternoon set free. He was tried
in the Suffolk superior criminal court, and
a jury, upon the evidence, found him
guilty.
Judge Dewey, who presided at the trial,
set aside that verdict as being against the
evidence and the weight of evidence
Thompson had no legal adviser at the
trial. He conducted the case in his own
behalf.
The indictment charged that he beat his
wife on Aug. last, and in consequence of
such beating she died. The principal wit
ness for the government was his mother
in-law. Thompson was at one time EN-
ployed as salesman in well-known dry
goods house on Washington street. He
has no relations in this state and but few
friends. He, however. right along pro-
tested his innocence Of the crime charged
to him, and his steadfastness has now
reaped for him the harvest of freedom.
1t was but few days ago that the
pleadings In the case were increased by
the addition of motion TO set aside the ver-
dict of guilty and grant new trial. This
document was not in the writing Of
Thompson, for IL bore radical difference
from his signature, which was affixed to
1t. The judge at the trial thereupon in
vestigated the case and was satisfied that
the evidence did not warran6 the verdict
that was returned.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Gain Noted Through the Week Has Been
Principally In Hope.

Gain Noted Through the Week Has Been
Principally In Hope.
NEW YORK, Oct CIR G. Dun e. Co. 8
Weekly Review of Trade says:
There has been much gain in hope and q
little In business Assurances that the re-
peal bill will soon be passed have again
been accepted by traders as reason for
buying things speculative at higher prices,
and with money abundant on call, SIS, 00O,-
900 having been received in this city
within 10 weeks, speculation in stocks and
products has an unusual stimulus and
would have explained even more but for
continued embarrassment Of industries.
The state Of the treasury excites some
remark, its gold surplus having fallen to
$s3, 325, 100. Imports are far behind those
OF last year, and the accumulation of
goods In bond is unusually large, so that
customs as we'll as internal revenue re-
ceipts decreased heavily. The root of the
difficulty Is the decrease in consumption
of all kinds. and In that respect the week
has brought no perceptible change.
The failures this week number $40 in
