Don't Take Too Much Vengeance.

The following from the Pittsburg
Commercial-Gazette, is an extract from
an address by Rev. DR.. T. r. Beecher,
delivered at the annual meeting of the
National Prison Association held at
Pittsburg in 1891:
There must be three parties in
prison reformation: the inmates, the
general public and the professional ad-
ministrators of these public institutions.
The boys at the New \ Ork state reform
atory at Elmira are charming boys. as
good as any other boys. The criminals
of Pittsburg are not in prison. You
can't make a census Of the criminal
population. Those in the institutions
are only the convicted prisoners they
got caught. Who considers how they
are found guilty. Is it justly? The
law is a jolting, grinding machine and
the grist goes to the institutions. Con-
victions prove nothing as regards char
acter They only get caught. If the
has no pull he is run in. Justice al
ways miscarries when there is plenty
of don't know just what to call it.
DGl IIlC law - liNN.

tiary is simply convicted III the statu-

When a boy steals, is he thief in the
sight of God? The vacillating person is
one who has no character. When he is
with swearing people, he sWears; when
he is with praying people he prays;
when he is with thieves, he steals. He

of that same freedom, and in the same
breath advocate perpetual coercion for
ireland: and now when an honorable
Englishman undertakes to redress a
wrong, wrought and sustained by centu
lies of tory .seltishness and misgovern-
ment, there is no slander too base no
epithet too mean for these political hyp-
ocrites to heap upon him, and no mud
too filthy for them to fling at the man
whom the civilized world has unani-
mously pronounced "The Grand Old
Man of the nineteenth century. Let
the American people decide who are the
true lovers of freed N, who are the true
patriots: is it the Irish who have been
fighting thousand years for freedom,
and who are ready to-day to shed their
last drop Of blood in its cause, or is it
the tory tyrants, who by main force
have kept them bound in the calling
chains of slavery? ". MCM.

In Times of Adversely, the Irish were
Americas First Friends.
Everyone who has read the history of
the United States knows. and every
honest man must admit that this coun-
try had no truer friends in times of adj
yersity than Irishmen. Their names
are emblazoned in letters of gold on
every page of American history and
even decorate the immortal Declaration
of Independence George Washington
and the great cause he represented had
no greater or more loyal friends in this
or any other country than the Irish il,

This is especially true Of the Society of
st. Patrick, of which Washington was
a member. Commodore Barry. the
father of the navy, resigned from a
position which was in those days con-
sidered the highest and most honorable
in the land to take command OF the first
American naval fleet, and he told the
British tories, when they tried to bribe
him to betray his adopted country that
there was not money enough in all
England to purchase his patriotism.

He Got Clear.

In a certain Minnesota town man
was arrested on charge of horse
stealing knowing he was guilty, he
very naturally wanted to get out of his
trouble as easy as possible. SO he went
to prominent official of the municipal
court of the town, who had pull with
the judge, and stated the circum-
stances and asked his advice. Whats
your piIe?" quoth the official. STD
answered Mr.. Horsethief. Give it to
me" said the official, and the amount
was promptly turned over "We'll see
you through" was the assurance of
the official. Then an attorney, who
is working up quite a reputation in
criminal law circles, was retained to
defend Mr.. Horsethief with S25 Of the
pile. The attorney went into court,
made an eloquent plea for the prisoner,
and the case was dismissed, and the
aforesaid official and the judge divided

Law In China

In China there are no lawyers, fees
and costs. Litigation is regarded as
great evil, and is made very simple.
4 magistrate hears the case very much
as father would a dispute between
two children. and in the main justice is
administered speedily, thoroughly and
cheaply. To prevent litigation, many
debts have been made debts of honor,
not binding in law. Among these are
all loans to friends or relatives to start
man in business or eXtricate him
from trouble: all loans to a gambler,
spendthrift, drunkard or a runaway
wife: all debt upon parole and various
other debts. Drinking debts are not
cOllectable. Professional services can
not be sued for unless there is a written
obligation. The unsecured creditor to
secure an old account, simply stands III
front of the debtors door and WeepS.
He rarely has to do this more than an
hour. To get rid of the annoyance and
avoid disgrace the debtor hustles around
and gets up the money. A Chinese who
gets financially embarrassed will sell
himself for a plantation coolie. go into
exile for twenty years. or even commit
suicide 1t is part of his religion to pay
off ali that he owes in the last week of
the year, in order that he may begin the
next one free from care and obligation.

SUING FOR BONDS.
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Securities in Court.
The Vanderbilts Seeking an Accounting
from the Beecher Estate.

DETROIT, Mich, April 21.-Bonds of
the MineralsPoint Division of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul Railway, to
the value of about $4,000, are in dis
pute in suit instituted in the United
States circuit court here. Luther
Beecher's estate is sued for an account
ing in a railroad case by Cornelius and
William X. Vanderbilt, of New York
City
The bill sets forth that the Mineral
Point Railroad was organized prior to
June 80, 1850, and ran from Warren
H., to Mineral Point and from Gala
mine to Piatteville, all of the last three
places named being in Wisconsin, The
entire line was fifty-one miles long and
the capital stock was 100000, the
shares being 500 each. Mr.. Beecher
was president and held II POO shares Of
the stock. The late William Fl. Wander
bilt had 1872 shares, which were origin
ally in Cornelius name, but were as
signed to him.
On June, 80, 1880, the bill says, Mr..
Beecher entered into an agreement
for the sale of the road to the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul road for 81 ,20O, 600,
payable in negotiable 5 per cent. bonds
running thirty years and secured by a
first mortgage on the Mineral Point
Railroad property. On the day of the
transfer the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Pau! road issued to the Farmers Loan
and Trust Company, of New York, the
mortgage as per agreement to secure the
bonds
Mr.. Beecher, it is claimed, was to
deliver 95 per cent. of the stock to the
purchasers and secure the remaining
q q RI nxy-
change it for the bonds. The COM
plainants aver that he never attempted
to exchange it and did not inform Will
lam II. Vanderbilt or any other stock
holder of the transaction, and that all
the stockholders remained in ignorance
of the transaction and trust until after
the death of Mr.. Beecher, on Septem-
Der Is, 1892. Mr. Beecher had been
created trustee for the stockholders and
Mr.. Vanderbilt was entitled to $4,000
of the bonds, which the complainants
claim he did not get.
On the death Of William II. Wander
bilt, December 8, 1885, the matter came
to the attention of his administrators,
and since the death of Mr.. .Beecher
demand has been made upon Gen.
Luther S. Trowbridge and George L.
Beecher, his administrators, for the
books CT the Mineral Point Railroad
and for the bonds alleged to be due Mr..
Vanderbilt, but the complainants say
they have not been able to secure
either.
The court is asked to order the
administrators to produce the books
and records and turn over to the COM
plainants $l9, POO in the Mineral Point
Division bonds of the Chicago, Milwau-
lee q St. Paul road.

MATCH MADE BY THE KAISER
Heir to the Russian Throne is Re
trothed TO the Princess
AllN

Allx.
CoBgRG, April 2O.-The betrothal is
announced of the Czarewitch, Grand
Duke Nicholas, to the Princess Alix
Victoria Helena Louise Beatrice of
Hesse. A few days ago it was reported
that the Czarewitch intended resigning
his succession to the throne in favor
OF his younger brother, the Grand
Duke Michael. The belief was
that this action was contemplated
on account of the opposition of
the Gar to his marriage with
the Princess Alix. It was also stated at
the time that the Czarewitch would new
er marry. But all obstacles to the hap
piness of the young couple seem to
have been removed, and the announce
ment of their betrothal at this time be-
tore the dispersal of the many royal
personages who had assembled for the
wedding of yesterday affords opportun-
ity for the customary congratulations.
Emperor William of Germany was the
first to communicate the news of the
betrothal to Queen Victoria, who ex-
pressed herself as being highly pleased.
Emperor William then walked from the
ducal schloss to the Edinburgh Palace,
the British military attachment at
Berlin, and communicated the news
to the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-
Gotha< Emperor William is be-
lieved to have been mainly instrument
al in bringing about the betrothal, from
the fact that he had the news before
Queen Victoria or the Duke and
duchess of Sake oburg- Gotha, and
the evident delight to His Imperial
Majesty is cited as evidence of the i'm
portance which he attaches to the ALI
ance. Emperor William, who is deeply
bronzed by exposure to the sun, will
leave Coburg tomorrow for some shoot
ing on the estate of the Grand Duke of
Sake Weimar at Wartburg.
The Care witch was born May 6. 1868,
at ST. Petersburg. The condition of his
health has been the subject of grave
apprehension on the part of his parents
and their loyal subjects, and it was on
of the world in 1891 which came near
ending tragically in Japan, where he
was attacked by crazy Japanese
policeman and would probably have
been killed but for the timely inter-
vention Of his cousin, the Crown Prince
of Greece.
Princess Alix Of Hesse was born at
Darmstadt on June 6, 1872, and is the
Youngest Of the four sisters OF Grand
Duke Ernest Louis of Hesse, who was
married yesterday to Princess Victoria
of -Coburg-Gotha. The eldest Sis
ter, Princess Victoria, is the wife of
Prince Louis of Battenburg, and the
second sister, Princess Elizabeth, is the
wife of Grand duke Sergius of Russia,
brother of the Gar. The third sister,
Princess Irene, is married to Prince
Henry of Prussia, brother of Emperor
William. -.
The Grand Duke of Hesse and his
bride made their state entry into Darn
stadt this morning. The procession
halted at a magnificent triumphal arch
near the Rhine gate, where the chief
bnrcomaster delivered an address OF
welcome to the newly married couple.
1he whole way to the castle was an
