The Injurious effect on the eyes caused
by wearing dotted wells is an old warn
Ing which has been sounded to nj pur-
pose and the fact that oculists are grow
ing rich under this reign of fashion does
not alarm the wearers of this attractive
bit of feminine vanity. The dots are
larger or smaller. closer together or
further apart. as they are more or less
becoming, while the possibility Of i'm
paired eyesight is left entirely out of
consideration. 1t has been discovered
lately that the dots are not their only
harmful quality. There is some sub
stance used in stiffening or coloring the

LET THE TRIAL BE FAIR.

The excitement in Troy over the killing
OF Mr.. Ross on election day Increases
rather than diminishes. The inquest was
yesterday postponed, because the outside
counsel named by Gov. Flower to con-
duct the prosecution In connection with
the District-Attorney are not allowed to
enter the Grand Jury room. and because
one OF them, Mr.. Black. objects to the
present Grand Jury. and desires nat "A
new n shall he draw to examine the
murder case.
Mr.. Van Santvoord addressed a letter to
he Dis;rict-Attorney. saying that the
associate counsel would decline to serve
unless they had the same right as that
officer to appear before the Grand Jury.
AS the District-Attorney could not give
them that right. an adjournment was
had until to-day to afford an opportunity
to communicate with Gov. Flower.
1t is unfortunate that the methods of
the Democratic ring In Troy are such as
TO impair public confidence in all office
holders who happen to be associated with
that organization. In such a case as
this II is desirable the public should be
assured that the ring" influence will
not control the legal proceedings. and II
any sound objections can be made to the
present Grand Jury a new one ought GER
tainly to be called. While no attempt to
give the trial a political bias on one side
or the other should be allowed to sue
coed, no obstruction or objection should
be placed in the way Of any reasonable
effort that may be made to guard against
v the suspicion of machine influence
In any part of the proceedings.
Open the doors of the Grand Jury room
to the associate counsel and give them n
new Grand Jury If they desire one.

BANK OF ENGLAND AFFAIRS.
Gov. Powell's Statement at the
Half Yearly Meeting.
Suspicion Caused by Mays Irregu-
larities Not Justified.
on Ansocintsd Prnml

LONDON, March 15.-There was n
crowded attendance at the h~alf-yearly
meeting OF the Bank Of England to-day.
Tit Governor, Mr.. David Powell. said
that the conduct OF ex-cashier May had
been n very serious matter. which had
been thoroughly sifted. But. Mr.. Powell,
added, 1t would not be right at this
meeting to go into details. Wherever
anything had been found to be wrong
steps had been taken to meet the diff
culties.
The Directors had done their best and
legal proceedings might be taken which
would evoke further details. But II this
course was not adopted, the matter had
better be let die. A feeling OF sus-
plcion had. in consequence OF this de-
plorable affair, been thrown over the
whole establishment. This feeling, how
ever, Mr.. Powell said. was not justified to
anything like the extent imagined.
The report of the Governors shows that
the net profits for the half year have
been f635, Si. The reserve, after provid-
ing for a dividend OF "a los, will be
1901 sO2. The Barring liabilities have been
reduced to 1857. 667. The debt due the
bank IL f3, $50, 900. Finally, the bank has
set aside the sum of 1850, 900 to meet all
possible losses in respect to ex-Cashier
Mays advances.
The Governors learned, last November,
that ex-Csshier May had seriously ex-
ceeded his authority and that he had
committed grave Irregularities in con-
Eectlon with advances made to n certain
number of customers, allowing over
drafts without authority and in viola
ticn of the strict rules OF the bank, and
that he had engaged in Stock Exchange
speculations which had placed him in
serious difficulties. Consequently, the
Governors had no alternative but to re-
quire his Immediate resignation.
The report concludes with stating that
all the securities which the bank holds
on Its own account are OF the highest
class. consisting mainly of Government
Colonial. Indian n corporation securi.
ties. and they stand in the bank books
at prices considerably below the market
value. In conclusion. the report says
that the bank never held any securities
of financial and trust companies.

Young wives and Old Husband


Young wives md Old Husbands.
To the Editor:
| should like to volunteer an opinion for the
benefit OF "Estelle." who Is undecided as to
whether she should marry a man so much older
than herself. In the first place. a man is. both
mentally and physically, younger than a woman.
When they are young they may match very well;
also at thirty there IL no very great difference,
but at forty a man Is still young-in fact. In the
prime OF manhooj-for how many men achieve any
greatness before that age? At forty a woman Is
fading; that Ia to say. the great majority OF them
are, and a man OF Atty always thinks the wife OF
nfty far too old for him. and she is fully ten years
older than the man OF that age. Men. as they get
older. always prefer younger women; hence a great
deal OF trouble In married life as It advances.
From fifteen TO twenty years is not too great a
difference In the ages Of husband and wife. II
seems incomprehensible that a woman OF twenty.
II she Is in the least clever, can Hnd any interest
In u youth. l should think that an older man.
with experience, would attract her every time.
As far as age goes, I do not think 'Estelle''
would make a mistake. but as to anything else
she must consult her own feelings. ADVICE.
