 day decided that the New York & New England road is about to go into re- ceiver's hands and appointed Thomas c. Platt receiver. Apparently they are acting more rapidly than the courts. No receiver can be appointed, except at the request of the managers, unless the company is in default on some indebted ness. The default, If it occurred, would probably be on the second mortgage interest. Parties interested in the New York, New Haven & Hartford road hold the majority of those securities and in case of a receivership at their re- quest the office would probably be given to some one of their choice. They are Adams not United States express peo- pie in their affiliations and would not be likely to ask for Mir Platt.
 The result of the intention of the Consolidated company of drawing in by the debenture plan the stock of leased lines so as to unify the system can now be ascertained by means of the figures read at the stockholders meet. ing last Tuesday. Applying to these the various ratios fixed for exchange, it will be found that in the case of the Naugatuck the Consolidated has ab- sorbed 6, ,551 shares out of 20,000; in the case of the Danbury and Norwalk 4, AGA out of 5000 shares on the basis of par of 100; of Housatonic stock 22,52e shares out of 2S,67S; of the Derby rail. road 3,407 shares out of 4, 4,470; of the Shore Line S,06S shares out of 10000; of the Northampton road g, ,975 shares out 24 600; and of the Air Line 15,725 shares out of 9,SS5. Thus the Consoli. dated company has drawn in a clear stock majority of every road except the Naugatuck.

The Panama scandal disclosures that
are now shaking the French republic to
It's very foundation are only one more
proof that no iniquity can be hidden, but
all must come to light and face the con-
sequences. 1t was so with the whisky
ring and the Tweed ring in the United
States; it is the fate of every fraud,
great or small. There are living in
Paris today in comparative exile persons
who fed from New York when the bot
tom fell out of the Tweed ring. The
Panama scandal must have set them to

CALIFORNIA hERMITS.
Men Passing Their Lives in Idle Solitude
on the Mountain Tops.


Men Passing Their Lives in Idle Solitude
on the Mountain Tops.
Is man essentially social animal? The
scientists say so. But in the mountains
IF California there are almost enough
men who for years have led a life of ut
ter solitude to disprove the generaliza-
ton. These mountain hermits can be
found scattered through the Sierras and
the coast range from one end of the state
to the other. They are particularly nu-
merous through this region, centering
about the Yosemite valley and extend
ing far back into the high Sierras. Some
OF them were once guides in the valley,
others have been miners, and some
again seem to have taken up the life of
solitude simply because they like it.
To this class belongs old P. r. Gibson
-"Old Glib" as he is generally called
who lives on a mountain ranch. He is
seventy-hve years old, but is possessed of
as much physical strength and endurance
as the average man of half his age. He
came thirty years ago from Tennessee,
where he left a wife and large family
Of children. One of his sons came to see
him recently and tried to induce him to
visit his former home, but "Old Glib"
steadfastly refused to leave his little
ranch and solitary cabin. He has never
seen a railroad, and the stage drivers
from the nearest station try their utmost
to persuade him to go to town and at
least look at train of cars. But his in
variable answer is: ''Do you think I'm
going down there to be blowed up by
one Of them there blamed engines2 Not
muohP 5tIia i-s3l .l 30 .nu .l4..
Nearly all the men who live this life
OF solitude very long get bit queer in
the head, and "Old Glib" is no exception
TO the rule. He has rigmarole descrip-
ton of himself which declares that he is
"the bert man in the United States or
adjoining territories. either directly or
indirectly, financially, commercially, &C.
Realistically or unchurchifed.r The old
man Is hard worker, and when he is
not busy on his ranch he is working
energetically making "shakes9--that is,
clapboards split and sawed by hand from
big pine trees. -- --i g.. ',
Old man Lambert, who has a cabin in
the high Sierras some thirty miles back
of the Yosemite, is another of the noun
tain herInits. He has neither ranch nor
mining claim, but lives by what he
shoots and by an occasional few dollars
earned from camping parties. He has
lived alone in that same spot for years
and years, and will in all likelihood stay
there until he dies. There are months
at time that he does not see another
human being. A party of campers one
summer found him making huge stone
wall that seemed to have no purpose
whatever. In surprise they asked him
what he was piling up those stones for.
Why" he said, "a mans got to do
something, up here alone, or he'll go
wrong, sure. Cor. Augusta Ga Chron-

One of the interesting incidents con.
nected with the courtship of Prince
Ferdinand of Roumania and Princess
Marie of Edinburgh was the receiving
once week by the princess of one OF
Ferdinand's old love letters to Mile.
Helene Vacaresco, to whom he was for
merly engaged. Helene was his first
love, but for reasons of state he was not
permitted by Russia and Germany to
marry her. Therefore the spiteful Va
caresco got even with him in truly femi-
nine fashion by sending his love letters,
one by one, long drawn out, to his new
betrothed. This must have had a sooth-
ing tendency upon Princess Marie's feel
ings, especially as she is said to have the
true Russian temper Now that she is
married it will be her turn to get even
with Ferdinand.

A French Anniversary.

Exactly hundred years ago this Jan
uary the first republic of France was
passing through crisis no less exciting
and dangerous than that of today and
far more tragic Sept. 2l, 1892, the first
republic was proclaimed by the national
assembly, body that had forced itself
into existence and recognition. Jan. is,
1898, this assembly tried Louis XVI for
conspiring to overthrow the French con-
stitution and found him guilty by unani-
nous vote. Jan. 20 came the final con-
domination. Those who had not hest
tated to pronounce him guilty of con-
spiracy against the constitution stopped
awhile at voting for his death sentence,
and the debate was long and intensely
exciting.
AS tercely as the French deputies
debate about the Panama scandal this
January the French deputies of January,
1893, debated the life or death of Louis
XVI At last. by only few votes, the
death sentence was carried, and the next
day-Jan, 21-the king of France was
guillotined. France remained a repub-
lie till Napoleon overthrow the directory
10 1893. Possibly if Boulanger had not
committed suicide last year he might
now have done what Napoleon did in
1899.
But Louis XVI, the king who was
guillotined a hundred years ago this
January, was better man than two out
of three of the French deputies of today,
tarred as they are with the stick of the
black Panama briberies. Events hang
upon such slender threads. The United
States had a greater share in the down
fall and death of Louis XVI than Ameri
cans generally think Of Louis XVI wa,
the friend of the American colonies
which were then struggling for their in
dependence. He recognized us as ma
ton Feb. 8, 1878. This brought ON wal
with England, war which cost Francs
over s250. 100000. 1t plunged the natior
into debt and caused distress among tn
people because of the taxation thereb.
made necessary.
Upon the heels of this debt came tn
extravaganceo Of Queen Marie Antoinett
that knew no bounds. The smolderini
embers of discomfort rose TO a fam
which burst in fury and consumed tn
throne. The example of America ha.
made republicanism contagious, and III
first French republic was proclaimed
But it Is an interesting speculation tina
only for us and our revolution the Bour
bon family might to this day have beai
mon the throne of France.

Schooling at Twenty Dollars a Year

schooling at Twenty Dollars Year.
However moderate the expenses of a
student of the present time may be they
can hardly reach the extremely modest
sum which sufficed for Jean Marinontel.
French poet, during the reign of Louis
XIV, for years schooling. In his
memoirs" he speaks Of his school life
as follows:
l was lodged, as was the custom of
the school, with five other scholars at
the house of an honest mechanic.
My provisions for a week consisted
Of large loaf of rye bread, little
cheese, piece of bacon and two or three
POUNDS of beef. My mother had added
to them dozen apples.
This was the weekly provision of the
best fed scholar Of the school. The mis-
tress of the house cooked for US, and for
her trouble, her fire, her lamp, her beds,
her houseroom, including even the vege-
tables of her little garden which she used
for our soup, each of us gave her twelve
pence halfpenny a month.
Reckoning everything except my
clothes, | cost my father between four
and five pounds a year. This was much
to him and an expense of which I was
very anxious to see him relieved.

THE heaviest loads sat lightly upon
him, says General o. o. Howard of Gen
eral Benjamin Butler. The popular es-
innate of Butler is that he was a greater
lawyer than military man, but General
Howard, writing in the New York World,
contradicts this Judgment, declaring that
few men who ever commanded armies
have excelled him in administrative
conception and execution. 1t was his
unhappy combative disposition, that In
volved him in troubles with prominent
individuals constantly during his mill.
tary career, and this prevented him from
being appreciated at his full power, Gen.
eral Howard says Perhaps when ali
else connected with his life fades out
the phrase, "contraband of war;" will be
remembered as his invention. In the
conception which gave rise to this phrase
certainly the genius of the lawyer shines
out transcendent. In the first days of the
war Union generals were forbidden to
free slaves or TO give them refuge as run
Always. General Butler took the slave
at the south's own estimate. He is a
chattel, he reasoned, property like any
other live stock. The negro is capable
Of being used by the enemy to aid him
in carrying ON the war. Therefore he is
as much contraband as arms or ammu-
milton. Therefore seize him and keep
him by the rules Of war This was in
1861. Thereafter every runaway slave
in Buffers camps found refuge.

PASTOR HOUSTON SAT ON
Trustees of His Church Don't
Want Music-Expenses
Too Heavy.

1t is not exactly discord which reigus
In the John Knox Presbyterian Church,
but there is a serious difference be wen
the Pastor aud the trustees. The differ
ence. which 10 now In a fair way to ba
amicably adjusted, is a continuation OF
the Y. p. s. c.. E. row. which shook the
church a few months ago.
Money matters figure conspicuously
now. Pastor Houston a few weeks ago
gave his congregation q hauliug over the
GOALS for their snail contributors. Ths
COLLECTIONS increased after his remarks
for a short time, but the donors have
again fallen back into the old rut.
Fl PARTOR WANTS MUSIC.
Another cause for disagreement is that
Pastor Houston wants TO awe music In
the church. IL Is also said that his wife
Is not as friendly with the congregation
as she should be. All these go to help
along b storm which is brewing. When
Mr.. George R. Mckenzie gave the prop
erty and building TO the congregation, It
was put in black and white In the deed
that there should never be any musi; in
the church. A violation OF this clause
meant the forfeiture of the property.
Pastor Houston Is a great singer aud his
services even now consist OF a great deal
OF singing. That the singing is discord ant
at times, IS due to the absence OF music.
THEtREQUEsT REFUSED.
Mr.. Houston pressed his request for
music so persfstentIy that the trustees
held a meeting to act upon the matter,
Tit result was q decision against the
Pastor. He didu't like it and has said SO.
When MI. Mckenzie erected the little
church he fitted mp neat aud spacious
APARTMENTS for Mr.. Houston. Prior to
Mr.. Hcuston's recent marriage these
rooms suited aim. but hfs wife waufed
more room.
The Trustees had been paying Mr..
Houston so much a week and rent free.
When he Informed the Trustees that he
was going to move out OF the church, he.
also asked for an increase in salary.
After due consideration Of the matter his
salary was raised and he received about
$31 a week.
I'll EXPENSES HEAvY
This salary. with the other expenses Of
the church, is beginning TO make itself
felt, rnd on more han one occasion have
the Trustees been compelled to
60 deep into their pockets in
order TO make botn ends meet,
They were satisfied to do this as long as
effort to promote unanimitv In the
church. Labor Ia this direction ed
to he lacking. Mrs. Houston. too, it was
said. did not like to mingle with the con.
gregation. but that. toe, has been patched
up, It is said. and Mrs. Houston will
minGle.
However. Mr.. Houston is dissatisfied
aud 50 are some OF the trustees, IL is
said. The trustees all agree In saying
that Mr.. Houston Is u splendid Evan ge-
list q earnest and siucere Christian,
but as q pastor having charge of a cou-
~gregatiou he possesses peculiarit.es
which create i'll feeling.
