pedigree and other interesting details to

The lawyer has changed his appearance
great deal since he left this city. Every
body in the crowd noticed the marked
change in his bearing and dress. His face
was white and sunken. An illkempt,
worse than scraggling, beard covered his
face.

Weeks Heavy Embczzlcmcnts.
Weeks, directly, collaterally, and by
marriage connections, occupied n high
social position His standing as n mem.
Der of the legal profession and in the bust
ness world was scarcely less high. He was
thoroughly educated, and was engaged in
q lucrative law practice. This he gradu
ally exchanged for the promotion Of large
enterprises, mainly speculative. To carry
these on he used the funds placed in his
keeping as trustee, and of such funds ht
had become depositary to a very unusual
amount.
On April 27, finding himself no Longer
able to keep mp the struggle, Weeks made
an assignment TO X. w. g. yelling. A few
days later he disappeared. On May 1.
the criminal conduct underlying MS as
signment was made public by proceedings
in court instituted by persons whom he
had defrauded. The full extent of his in
EQUITY became gradually known, each day
swelling the list of his victims. Weeks
was removed from one after another of his
fiduciary positions, and was expelled from
the clubs from which he had not resigned
before the character of his failure becam,
public.
The report of his assignee showed that
the embezzlement of which he is accused
amounted to about 81 100000, while hit
assets reached only S5S, ,sij.9G. The greater
pRrt of it was stolen, as is alleged, from
the trust funds in his possession, which
funds belonged largely to women.

pirds Losing Fenr OF sparrows.

DR.. Hazard is led to hope from
his observations that native Amer
lean birds are losing their fear of the
sparrow, and that the despotic reign
of the latter may be near its end.
Although as hostile as ever, the spar
rows seem to be growing more dis
Greet in their attacks. At any rate,
robins and other birds esteemed for
their plumage and song appear in
increasing numbers year by year,
and show the disposition as well as
ability to hold their own.
An interesting statement is that
some birds, noticing that sparrows
Stunned the tops of high trees, aban-
doned their habit of building their
nests near tho ground and estab-
lished their homes in lofty perches.
This affords an example of reason
overcoming instinct in the bird mind.
II the aggressions of the sparrow are
to DO checked by more pluck and
persistence on the part of other
birds, the fact will be both interest
ing and welcome, Rochester Dem
