"Miss Willard and her associates in

an outrage on women. l am told the
living pictures are worse here than they
are in England, and that is saying q

"The financial situation in this
country has decidedly improved
during the past week. The antici-
pated action of the President on
the Bland bill caused a confident
feeling to spread throughout the
land, and this feeling was fully re-
fected in the bond market. There
has been a steady demand for good
bonds and prices have advanced
several points.
The demand for "Americans" in
Europe has been strong, and now
that the veto of the Bland bill has
been actually sent to Congress, we
expect large buying orders from
London and Paris. In fact, the
past week has witnessed the effect
of the anticipated veto, for the
orders received from London for
the purchase of stocks and bonds
have been larger than for months
past, and really had the effect of
stopping the gold exports.n

LEGAL LOVERS VOWS,
An English Paper Proposes to Simplify
Breach of Promise Suits.

An English Paper Proposes to Simplify
Breach of Promise Suits.
The London Spectator, moved by the
painful spectacle of the modern breach
of promise case, proposes o novel ex-
pedient in order to overcome the diff,
culties which such suits present. 1t
says: There would be one very simple
method of tightening the task of the
jury, which would also afford to young
women and their guardians e. means of
ascertaining whether the lover had
any serious intention of developing
into husband or not. Let no promise
of marriage be held valid unless it is
made in writing upon properly stamped
paper. If the plaintiff could produce
formal promise of this kind there
would be no need to go into all the
history of doubtful courtship or to
consider any other factor in the assess
ment of damages than the respective
incomes of the contracting parties.
OF course, it will be objected that
such proposition is injurious to all
the romance of courtship and mar
riage. But where, we would ask, Is
the romance in nine out of ten breach
VI PrOu1toC CetSCS tIle1U VlC1I way
into the law courts? These cases are
hardly ever brought except by people
whose affections have not been deeply
engaged in their acceptance of suitor,
For one young woman Who now brings
an action for breach of promise, at
least nine are Tilted and suffer in
silence. The more their affections
have been engaged the less can they
bear to tell the pitiful tale of their dis
appointment, and witness the poor lit
tie romance of their life exposed to the
ridicule and laughteg of an unsym-
pathetic world, If it once became an
understood thing that the ardent lover
should offer such proof of his good
faith, then girl would know well
what to expect from lover who with
held it. AT any rate, parents or
guardians of the lower middle class
would not allow a young man to grow
''too particular in his attentions
their phrase runs-unless he showed
disposition to furnish this guaranty.
Then, II the promise were unfulflled,
even the most modest and sensitive
maiden could proceed againsth her faith

was seized by some rufians, dragged
into adjoining woods, and treated in a
most unmerciful manner.
He was forced, under threat of in
stant death, to surrender all the money
and other valuables which he had
about him. Then they stripped him of
his clothing, In the bitter cold, and
left him half dead, saying that if he
moved from where he was in so many
minutes he would be shot.

FATE OF A BOOM TOWN.
Under the Hammer 1t Brings About Thre

Under the Hammer It Brings About Three
Cents for Every Dollar Invested.
The boom town of Fort Payne, Ala,
where millions were invested by New
England capitalists, was sold under
the hammer the other day to E. N. Gull
lom, Birmingham capitalist, for the
small sum of 100000, says the st. Louis
Republic. The purchase includes 30,-
600 acres of mineral lands, 1900 town
lots, and various large industries, in
cluding rolling mills, furnaces, facto-
ries, hotels and the like.
In July, 1892, the entire property of
the Fort Payne Coal s. Iron company
was placed by order of the United
States court in the hands of q receiver
upon the petition of A. L. Loyles and
others of New England. These were
afterward joined by the Old Colony
Trust company of Boston, trustee, who
asked for foreclosure of a mortgage
for $500, 900. The receivership, though
hotly contested in the United States
courts by other New England stock
holders, was sustained.
Fort Payne was the first attempt of
organized New England capital to
found city in the south, and it has
proved fiat failure after several mil
lions have been squandered. The town
was built to order. In the fall of 1889
W. P. Rice and associates of Boston
foated 10000 shares of Fort Payne
Coal 6 Iron company stock in Yer
mont, Maine, New Hampshire, Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut
and New York city at $25 per share of
500, realizing clean 81 100000, which
was taken in lump to Fort Payne.
Afterward 10000 shares of stock re-
served in the treasury were sold at $37
per share. This soon went and a
blanket mortgage with bonds aggre-
eating $500, 900 was executed. Immense
sums were obtained from the sale of
town lots, which were also expended
upon the town in waterworks, hotels,
railroads, sewer system, furnaces, roll
ing mills and all the accoutrements of
a commercial and manufacturing city.
Then came the bogs of financial de-
preston in 1890, and Fort Payne re
tired and has remained in retirement
ever since, private and corporate ex-
penditures having amounted to Sc, ,000,-
600. The expenditures of the Fort
Payne Coal & Iron company amounted
to $2,000,O 900, all of which has been sold
for $50, 900, or for 8 cents on the dollar.
The result of this enterprise has
been disappointing to both eastern
people and to southerners, the one
in losing their money and the other in
the check that is given to eastern in
vestment. Fort Payne was the first Of
series of boom towns that came to
the front in the south in 1889 and 1890,
Middlesboro, KY, and Hartman,
Tenn, being other examples. All have
gone the way Fort Payne went.

The Sugar Trust.

The New York World shows up
the sugar trust in the following
manner:
Mr.. Havemeyer admits that the
trust has now 60 cents per 100 lbs.
protection against German sugars,
and admits that the trust keeps
prices up to the importing figure,
but pleads in mitigation that it
spends in labor, supplies, &C.,
81, 100000 a month. Well, this
country uses 100000 tons, or
5000, 100000 pounds, ofsugar each
year at 60 cents per 100 pounds
protection. This means that our
sugar costs us each year S21, $780,
900 more than if we got it all from
Germany, and that the Sugar Trust
receives every year protection to an
extent nearly double its total alleg-
ed gross expenditures in this
country, during the same time,
for everything outside of the raw
sugar itself.
Let the Sugar Trust take its
hands from the throat of the dis
tributing trade; let it pay to the
State of New York the taxes it
lodges by calling Itself a New
Jersey corporation; let it permit to
be assessed at less ridiculously low
figures it's real estate in Brooklyn,
Philadelphia and elsewhere; let it
give to it's wretchedly paid en-
ployees a little of what it pretends
to receive for their benefit; let it
stop lodging legislative and Con
gressional committees, and atone,
by furnishing the ordinary data.
