Pepler of this city, who abducted her
a Hartford hotel short time ago, has in |
stituted divorce proceedings against her
husband, alleging intolerable cruelty and
intempe rance. Mr.. Pepler idolizes his
adopted daughter, but his wife, who is
anxious to have him support child of her
own by former marriage, makes the lot
of the adopted child anything but bright
and agreeable. This is the cause of the
trouble between the Peplers.

DEDICATED YESTERDAY.
HARTFORD, Jan. 2-The Historical

gathering of prominent people. The build
Ing contains the new free public library,
Watkinson library of reference, the vslu
able collection of the Connecticut Histori-
cal society, free gallery of art and sculpt-
ure, and an art school. There are about

gallery is rich with valuable paintings and
sculpture, and the collection of the Histori-

thirty-on subscriptions of from 81 900 to

smaller sums.

In most respects the Improvement and
growth of the city is healthy, steady and
satisfactory, comparing favorsbly with the

CHAPTER XII.
A MIDNIGHT SURPRISE.

Bright, deceptive glints of sunrise
slanted low from the crisp east over the
low shore line, touching yet only the
tall tree tops, as old Pete emerged from
his dingy cabin on the creek and stood
like statue in ebony, listening in
tently.
''Stalwart and tall, like Anak's son. -
the long, bony limbs of the black, over
which the corded muscles played with
every motion, denoted unusual
strength, even for one of his race and
calling. And the grim strength Of his
hard, scanned face showed inner
strength we'll suited to his body.
Cleaner cut and frmer than usual with
the negro, Pete's features We're grave
and stern, the thin, blue lips set, as
though used to sudden peril and his
were the motto of the Douglas: Ready;
aye ready!'
The clatter Of hoof and wheels grew
clearer; then Meredith's familiar trap
appeared and drew up at the cabin.
Here we are, Pete" Mckee cried,
merrily, dismounting as fast as skirts
permitted, and assisting Miss Clay's
light descent from her cold perch.
''Sarvant, Mars Kee! How yo' mar?''
the negro answered, with grave bow,
but showing no surprise at the familiar
voice coming in such questionable

Ohio Tried It.

There has been enough-there has
been too much-of the theory of taxing
everything at its equal value in money.
All this has proved to be the sheerest
nonsense. Mortgage notes have not
been taxed, but driven out of the state,
and everybody knows that property,
even real estate, is not taxed at its
equal value. y 4 y
There is no better security in Ohio
than good real estate. 1t is security
that our own people would be glad to
invest in, but they can not without
making false returns. What is the re-
suit? An increased rate of interest.
We put this at one per cent. 1t is
probably more; but one per cent on the
total mortgage Indebtedness would be
So, 75O, 900 annually. This as the result
of a system of taxation that puts hard
ly dollar into the state or municipal
treasures.
Then see the stream of interest that
goes out of the state annually, which
should stay at home. and would stay at
home were the tax system a just one.
1t amounts to the enormous sum of

m CASE or EMERGENCY.

WHIST should No Desc and Attempted -
Non-Prefessionsl Attendants.
The public has been receiving, from
one source and smother, 30 much in-
struction as to what should be done in
cases Of emergency, perhaps it would
not beeniss that they should likewise
receive some instruction as to what
should not be attempted in such cases.
II we do not use our knowledge wise
", it is better that our hands should
be tied through ignorance.
It is certainly not to be expected, be-
cause one has heard q few lectures or
read few works on Emergency"
that he should exhibit the skill Of an
experienced practitioner. If we are
fortunate in possessing the keen in
tuition that often enables one to make
diagnosis the moment the case is
presented, well and good. That is the
attribute OF a ''born" doctor. But we
are certainly not called upon. from the
little teaching we have received, to
evert ourselves to make diagnosis of
any case which may be thrown in our
way.
The instruction we have received, no
matter from what source, has been
mere outline work. and we shall never
be censured because we can not al
ways supply the skill and science which
is necessary for the art of medicine.
We have, then, to remember out
weakness. Not that we are to sit with
folded hands, in abject dread lest we
shall do something wrong, but that
we are to consider the case presented
to us carefully and calmlv direcfinO
our efforts toward making the patient
comforta ble,. guarding him from the
excitement of spectators, allaying the
anxiety Of friends and relatives. In
short, our business is to keep every
thing in perfect connposure till the ar.
rival of more experienced person.
rather than to introduce any half
formed theories of our own in regard
to treatment
Thus our task becomes one Of ex.
treme simplicity instead of the OPP
posite. We have no bones to set, no
wounds to heal. All that will lie done
by the physician, and we have but to
prepare our patient for his arrival.
With this in mind we should remem-
Der to review calmly what we know Of
the case, doing what little we are sure
is proper, assuming only such author
ity as shall instill confidence in those
around us that the best possible treat
ment twill be given to the object of
their anxiety.
In this way we shall prove our
selves to be ministering angels instead
of ignorant. aeddlers.-Youth's Com

Ohio Opinion on "Only an Oath. ''

The attempt to tax personal propert,
has always been failure, in all coun-
tries, and under all forms of govern
ment, even where an attempt to con-
ceal it has been punishable by death.
How. then, can it be expected that this
form of property can be fairly and
fully reached by the assessor, when
only an oath is required to swear in the
return. The question of taxation is the
most important one now before the
civilized world. and the first step in the
solution of the problem is to let each
locality elect as to how it shall assess
and collect it's own taxes. This is
home rule" and such home rule as
every section of the country should de-
mand. We publish in another column
the text of the Farquhar bill as offered
to the general assembly of the state of
New York, and hope it will serve as a
model for similar bills in other. states

ON NON-METALLiC BASES.
The Results ef = Wonderful Discovery Il
ElectroplatIng.

ElectroplatIng.
Electropfaters many years have
sought to evolve an effective process of
telectro-depOSition on non-metallic
| base. This endeavor was at length at
| tended with partial success, but the
process was accompanied by SO much
danger, in consequence of the highly
com bustible nature of some of the
| agents employed, that manufacturers
did not care to run the risk Of setting
their premises ON fire.
A modification of the processes has
been discovered by which this danger
is avoided, and the invention is
now pronounced to be one of
the most important that has
been introduced 10 the clectroplate
trade for many years. The object to
be dealt with. whether it be a sprig Of
natural holly or ivy, bit of common
hedge briar, fern, geranium leaf.
Marguerite daisy or a terra Gotta group,
is submitted to the process, which is
the inventors secret. 1t next receives
a deposit of copper, which renders it
perfectly docile and practically inde-
structible, and it is then ready to be
silvered or gilded by the ordinary pro-
cess of electroplatihg.
This invention comes from England,
where tits being largely employed in
ornamental work of various kinds.
Some of the effects produced by it are
said to be exquisitely beautiful. For
instance, cracker, glove and trinxet
boxes and drinking cups are twined
around with sprays of ivy or
holly, the veining Of the leaves and
the sharpness OF the priclsly edges Of
the holly being as perfect as they were
in their natural state.
To other articles lace is added in
similar manner, and while all the deli
cate gossamer appearance of the lace
is preserved. its character is so changed
that it has become metallic and may
be removed whenever the article which
it embellishes requires cleaning. In
the same way the ornamentation is
applied to the backs of hair brushes,
and an infinite variety of other arti-
cles, the materials used being natural
leaves and flowers. Terra Gotta ware
can be treated by the same process,
and when bronzed makes attractive
ornaments. which can not readily be

Savings Banks.

For many successive years the New
York legislat ture has declined to pass q
bill extending the investments permit
ted to savings banks SO as to include
tbe bonds of the large cities in the most
prosperous states. The reason, of this
refusal is mainly that there is consider
able feeling that if investments are
made in securities elsewhere than with
in the state of New York, a large sum
of money will be withdrawn from the
state and will prove a permanent Loss
to the state. And yet these very legis-
lators seem to forget the millions of
money actually driven out of the state
by foolish taxation of money and mort
