DEATH OF MISS FANNY TRowBRIDGE.

DEATH OF MISS FANNY TROWBRIDGE.
 Entered into rest, March 2, 1893 after painful illness of five days continu- ance, Miss Fanny c. Trowbridge at the age of nearly 76 years. She had been in failing health for some months, though there was nothing to excite alarm. But, unexpectedly, she has passed on. She was the daughter of the late Edmund Trowbridge, sister of the late Dea Philo M. Frowbridge and the last of her fami- ly in her generation. She leaves cous- ins, nephews, nieces and a sister-in-law, Mrs Philo M. Trowbridge of Norfolk to mourn her loss. She was born in RoX- bury, but returned to Woodbury with her fathers and brothers families in lS43, where she has since resided. She was admitted a member to the First Con- gregaJional church, September Is, lS43, and immediately became an active, work ing member, in all church labor. And during all these 50 years she has been the equal of the foremost in effectiveness and success. Sensitive to high degree, and careful of the feelings of others none ever heard a harmful word from her lips. She was instant in season and out of season in doing good. She was the kindest of neighbors and friends, ,and wherever there was wall of sorrow,
 
 with kindest ministratiops. The poor will long miss her kind attentions and benefactions. Though reticent in high degree, she was thoughtful, and her ad- vice was sure to be of value. Remain. ing unmarried she was able to care for an invalid father and mother, and smooth their passage to the grave. A good and useful woman has passed with in the veil, and rested from her labors. ''She hath done what she could,'' and "God giveth his beloved sleep" Her funeral was attended from the First church, Saturday, Rev J. A. Freeman officiating. The interment was in the ancient South cemetery.

THE GOOD 1T WILL DO.

a good many people are w0nd erng
what good the $500. coo voted by the Legis-
la ture to be extended at the Worlds Fair
will DO the State. People who ask this
question do not realize the benefit that will
accrue to the State from the observations
of the number of California ladies and
gentlemen whom this $4,000 fund has en-
abled to attend The fair. A good many of
these California visitors will write books,
which will be printed in Chicago and sent
out to this coast for sale. in which the
wonderful things seen at the fair will be
described. Others will write letters to such
papers on the coast as may be induced 10
publish them. Others will come home
when the fund gives out and tell US all
about the fair. In this way a lesson of
education will be injected into the Pacific
Coast understanding which may elevate
the whole mass. The CALL does not
know how many people have succeeded in
getting 10 Chicago at the States expense,
but the number must be large. People
who could not afford to 90, other people
who had no time to go, and still other
people who are too indoent to 90, will be
instructed through the eyes and tongues of
those who willingly gave their time and
endured fatigue for the benefit of the
public at large.

COMMERCIAL RETALIATION.

Free-trade journals are attacking the
reciprocity treaties on the ground that
they are unjust to countries with which
such treaties have not been made. One of
these exponents of free trade says:
Aside from commercial considerations Presi.
dent Harrison's proclamation against the trade
OF these republics Colombia and Venezuela) Is
partial and unjust: and, therefore, unbecoming
great and magnaGmous nation. Colombia
and Venezuela make no tariff determinations
against the commerce of tile United States.
While the duties which they levy upon imports
are high, following the example OF this Gov
ernment. they treat all nations alike in their
tariffs. Yet The coffee and hides OF Colomb bia
and Venezuela are subject 10 duties when I'M
ported into this country, while the coffee of
Mexico and the hides OF the Argentine Republic
are admitted free; although the tariffs of Mex :
leo and Argentina are quite as unfriendly to
the United Siates-f the levying of high taxes
upon theiT own people can be called unfriendly
to us.
There are two facts which do not appear
in this COMPLAINT. First, Colombia ard
Venezuela were offered the same condi-
tions which Mexico and Argentina ac-
ceDted; second, that although Mexico and
Argentina maintain high tariffs as a rule.
they make such exceptions In favor of the
United States as this Government re-
quired. That policy cannot be considered
retaliatory which simply discriminates
between countries which comply with
conditions offered to all. and countries
which refused to comply. The latter
countries had an undoubted right to re-
fuse, but they could not expect 10 derive
the same benefit from refusal that other
countries derived from compliance.

GOES FOR THE LAWYER. Z
Vincent Buckley Wanted the Whole
of His Mothers Estate.

A curious suit is pending in the Superior
Court wherein an attorney is being sued
for damages resulting from his alleged in
competence and carelessness in the drawing
up of a will.
Vincent P. Buckley is plaintiff in the
suit and claims that Giles II. Gray, the de-
fendant, Calfornia-street attorney, drew
up a will by request of plaintiffs mother,
Mrs. Catherine NJ Buckley. In this will
testatrix lef: the whole of her estate to
her own children. John Z. and Vincent P.
Buckley, to the exclusion of all the three
children of her son. Edmund j. Buck lev,
who had died previous to October 5, 1888,
the day on which the will was drawn.
Mrs. Buckley died in NAV. 1891. leaving
only one sou. the plaintiff. to mourn her
loss, as her other son John died some time
previously. And according to Vincent's
statement, he was by the intentions of the
will entitled to the whole estate left by
his mother.
But the complaint sets forth that ''in the
pleDaration of the will Gray was guilty of
gross negligence and malpractice, in that
he did not write the same so as to exclude
from PARTICIPATION in said testatrix estate
her three grandchildren herein before
named. as was her wish and intention ex-
pressed to the defendant and known to
him." and that AS matter Of fact the
three children of the deceased Edmund j.
Buckley actually Inherited one-half of
Mrs. Buckley's estate.
This one-half of the estate is Of the value
of $4,000, and Vincent Buckley adds
$4,000 to that for personal injuries suf-
fered, making a claim against Gray fur
SS5. 900 in all.

AFTER BIDLE1AN.
The Grand Jury Indict Him on Two
Counts.


Enoch G. Bidleman. who through a
disagreement of the jury in Judge
Wallace's court still lapguishes in the
County Jail awaiting a fresh trial for
embezzlement. was yesterday indicted by
the Grand Jury.
The amount which he was accused Of
taking when he was employed as book
keeper in the firm of E. Martin & Co., AID
for which he was tried in Department of
the Superior Court, was $1,000. That case
came 10 an unsatisfactory conclusion.
But 1t was discovered from the books
that there were two other sums of money
feloniously abstracted by Bidleman, on
which no action had hitherto been taken
These amounts were $4,000 and So so
respectively. And although there are
other defalcations yet these three amounts
are the only ones that are not barred by
the statute of limitations.
Accordingly, when the Grand Jury met
at P. NJ. yesterday they took the two
cases under advisement. D. V. Henarie
was summoned as a witness, and brought
the books of the firm with him.
The consultation lasted until twenty
minutes to four. when the jury filed along
the corridor to Judge Murphy's court
room. where the Judge awaited to receive
their partial report.
Judge Murphy ordered the report to be
placed on file. and bench warrants issued
for Bidleman's arrest, with bail fixed at
$4,000 on the major and $1,000 on the minor
charge

THE IRON TRADE.

The annual meeting of the Iron and
Steel Institute of Great Britain finds the
iron industry in depressed condition.
Production has fallen off as a result of a
decreased demand abroad. The exports of
metals and machinery are S35, 900, 600 less
for 1892 than for 1891. One of the delegates
to the meeting took hopeful view of the
situation. He said that in spite of ap-
pearance England would hold her place as
the greatest producer of iron and steel in
the world. The delegate seemed to ignore
the fact that the United States has already
passed Great Britain and clearly holds the
result in her own hands. The falling off
iu The foreign demand for the products of
iron is due principally to the development
of that industry in the United States.
Twenty years ago we imported the bulk Of

DEBAsiNG THE CURRENCY.

Among the arguments floating about in
gold standard journals is the following
from the New York Tribune:
No man who has intelligence enough to use
the English language can believe that the
laboring man would be benefited by debase-
Dent OF the currency which will cause every
body VINO sells provisions or clothing o the la
borer to pnt up prices on him while his wages
60 on at The same rate in cheaper money.
The Tribune is arguing proposition
which has not been made. No one wants
the currency debased. No one wants his
currency. one for the poor man to receive.
the other for the poor man to pay out.
There is proposition to stablish by law
the single gold standard. If this PROPOSE
ton succeeds the shrnkage in values
which is causing so many failures in
both the industrial and financial worlds
will continue. The shrnkage has only
just commenced. Silver is still largely
used as money, although several European
houses establish the gold standard. In
consequence of this shrinkage of values
the farmer has to sell more wheat than
formerly to obtain given number of
dollars. Ii his farm is mortgaged the
payment of the annual interest takes a
larger portion of the product for year
than if values had not shrunk-that is, if
the purchasing power of money had not
increased. The proposition before the
country is if the shrinkage shall go on or
if by the nse of silver as basis for cur
rency it shall be stopped. The shrinkage
was caused by the partial demonstration
of silver. 1t will be checked and the old
prices re-established by such change in
the financial policy of the world as will
give assurance of the restoration of silver
to former use as money.
