THE DIR. LEE CASE.


 At a session of this court, held in this city Saturday, decision in the case of the State vs. pr. J. Edward Lee, was handed down and the result Is that the doctor will again have to be tried for causing the death of Mrs. Catherine Miller of Water street by criminal malpractice.
 Dr. Lee was tried last April in the superior court, criminal side, before Judge Robinson and jury and &C., quilted. State Attorney Dooolittle at once took the case to the supreme court on an appeal, and the highest court in the state has just decided that the physician must again stand trial. The reasons are by Judge Hamersley of Hartford and sustain the appeal taken by the state attorney.
 State Attorney Doolittle's appeal was based upon the grounds that the court had erred in overruling the objections of the state upon the examination of Mary E. Lynch by the defense, per hitting testimony to be offered as to the declarations of Mrs. Miller to the witness and on the exclusion of testi- mony by Medical Examiner White as to his opinion of the injuries to Mrs. Miller and how they were caused.
 The state also claimed that the court had erred in misinterpreting the law regarding circumstances of reasonable doubt before going beyond its duty in defining what constituted a reasonable doubt and by frequent repetition lead ing the jury to infer that in the opinion of the court reasonable doubt of the guilt of the accused existed.

 Ie Favors . Non-Partisan Commission on
 Banks and Currency.
 Washington, Dec. 2.-The annual re- port of Comptroller of the Currency Eckels states that suggestions, which will be submitted to congress tomorrow have been received from many eminent financial sources that the whole ques- tion of a bank and currency system ought to be referred to commission appointed by the president. A commission non-partisan in its character, MT. Eckeis says, composed of men of eminent! abilities, could un- ouestionably devise q currency system sound in evry part and one which would commend itself to every interest of the country. If the present congress is to enact a law upon the subject the ap- nointment Of . commission could avail. nothing. If, however, nothing more definite can be accomplished the ques- tion, of the creation of such commission ought to be considered and acted upon.

Cardinal Mannfng's Sister

The death is announced of Mrs
Austen, sole surviving sister of Cardinal
Manning, whose senior she was. In
deed, she never was able, to the end of
his life, to regard him as other than a
younger brother whose improvement
she had at heart. When Manning left
Oxford and entered the Colonial Office,
his sister, whose husband, Col. Austen,
was member for Kent, and who had g
large acquaintance among politicians,
was as jealous in his interest as the
sisters of Lord Beaconsfeld's heroes
are made to be. When the Colonial
Office clerk had been transformed into
a Roman Cardinal, she took an elder
sisters privilege to write him pious
little homilies, and was solicitous for his
amusements, trying to persuade him,
when he was eighty, to come and look
IN the shop windows of Regent Street.
Many of Cardinal Manning's relatives
followed him into the Roman Catholic
Church, but Mrs Austen remained a
member Of the Church OF England.

ANCIENT GOLDEN IMAGES.

An Interesting Archaeological Discovery
in u Mexican District.
A discovery of great scientific interest
has been made in excavations being car
ried on in the District of Tlaxiaco, SAYS
dispatch from Oanaca, Mex. A num-
Der Of small images eXquisitely formed
In metal were uncovered by the work
men in one of the oldest ruins few
days ago, and since that time have been
the subjects of great speculation on the
part of savants of this section. The
images are of various styles but repre-
sent persons of Oriental type and dress
as we'll as number of ancient priests in
their robes. The images bear hierogly-
phics of unknown characters and are
deliberately wrought, with fine lines of
art shown in every curve.
The discovery at once proves, Of
course, that the old MiXteca culture in
Guided working in metals, which has
heretofore been hotly debated point
among Mexican psychologists. More
than this the finding of these images
with their distinctly Oriental types
opens UP a new field of research into
the study of the early Mexicans as de-
scendants of the Orient, which they are
claimed by many advanced thinkers to
be. The images will probably be
shipped to the National Museum in the
City of Mexico, where they will be
placed at the disposal of the scientific
world for further study and discussion.
The find is the most important of the
year in the domain of antiquities and
preparations are being made to conduct
full and complete exploration of the
TlaXiaco ruins for further evidences Of
the ancient civilization which is now
known to have fourished in Southern
Mexico. The images found thus far are
of gold, or something closely resem-
bling it, and are coated with some I'M
known mixture which has prevented
oxidation or rust in all the long years
in which they have been buried in the
soil.

THE DUEsl.

the g1ngnam 0og AND the calico cat
Side by side OH the table sat;
Twas half past l., and, what do you think,
Neither of them had slept wink
And the old Dutch clock and Chinese plates
Seemed to know as sure us fate,
There was going TO be ali awful spat.
q wasn't there-I simply state
What was told to me by the Chinese plate.)
The Bingham dog went "bow-wow-wow.
And the calico cat replied meow!
And the air was strcaked for an hour or so
With fragments of bingham and calico,
While the old Dutch clock in the chimney
place
Up with its hands before its face,
For it always dreaded a family row.
(Now mind, I'm simply telling you
What the old Dutch clock declares is truc)
The Chinese plate looked very blue,
And walled: "Oh, dear what shall we dO?'
But the bingham dog and the calico cat
WallOWed this way and tumbled that,
And utilized every tooth and claw
In the aWfulest way you ever saw
And, oh how the gingham and calico flew!
Don't think that / exaggerate-
| got my news from the Chinese plate.)
Next morning, where the two had sat-
They found no trace of the dog or cat;
And some folks think unto this day
That burglars stole that pair away;
But the truth about that cat and pup
Is that they ate each other up
Now, what do you really think of that?
CThe old Dutch clock, it told me so,
And that is how came to llnow.)

As Funny as Any.

While Joe Jefferson was down at his
Louisiana plantation last year, the wife
of one of his neighbors died, and Mr.
Jefferson called to express his sympathy
and regrets. While he was at the house,
the clergyman arrived to make arrange
ments for the funeral. Neither the
man nor his wife had been church
member. The husband was FRUSTRATED
with grief, but he aroused himself as
the clergyman entered. lis there any
particular portion of the Scriptures you
would like me to read at the funeral?''
asked the clergyman. The husband sat
up, mopped his eyes and thought for
moment. "WeI, you might try that
bit about Samson and the foxes, " he ex.
claimed, finally; II guess that's about
as funny as any of 'em."

women and men understood the full eff
feet of the marriage laws, many more
men would get married, but fewer
women" The commissioners explain
their paradox by the supposition that
some husbands were abroad, and that
some of the women who returned
themselves as married had not any
strict right to do So To these theories
must be added the number Of husbands
among the lower classes who desert
their families, and would then declare
themselves as single. OF reputed CEN
tenarians, there are 104 women and only
II men. It appears that old men fall
victims to town life conditions far more
