If a paper receives credit for

If a paper receives credit for

than it really enjoys, a reason
exists for Withholding from
the advertiser the actual cir

ton that it Is proud of and
each Saturday prints a detailed

tiser what by business ethics
he is plainly entitled to--a

WANTS HIS FREEDOM.
Whit OF Habens Corpus in Case of
George TOlman.


George TOlman.
Mr.. Henry e. Davis this afternoon filed
for Geo. r. Tolman petition for a writ of
habeas corpus. praying for the petitioners
release frem Jail, to which he was sent by
Judge Hagner on the 10Th of last month
for contempt Of court.
January %, 1892, the wife of the petit
toner. Eva Frances Tolman. filed a suit
against him for alimony. May follow
ing the petitioner, a Treasury Department
clerk. was decrecd to pay Mrs. Tolman $50
month. Tolman noted an appeal, con-
tending that where a wife failed to apply
for divorce alimony could not be granted
The Court of Appeals, however, sustained
the judgment of the lower court and the
case was remanded there, with directions
to enforce the judgment. Tolman. al
though receiving an annual salary of 81 500,
failed to make the required payments, and.
more than once, was cited to show cause
for contempt Of court. At length, on the
10th of last month, Judge Hagner COM
mitted him to jail as in contempt of court
until he should purge himself thereof by
paying his wife tho sum of 5000.
TIE petitioner claims that he is financial
ly unable to pay the amount; that he has
been. and still is. willing to receive his
wife and provide for her. and alleges that
ne was not given a. proper hearing, and
tnat MS imprisonment, because of his ina
bility to pay the required sum, is indefinite
and without warrant of law.
The petition was presented to Judge Cole,
who promised to decide tomorrow morning
whether he would or would not allow the
writ.

! CABINET CHANGES.
More Than Onc-Third of the Heads of
| Departments Have Resigned.

The resignation of Postmaster General
Bissell is the first break in the cabinet Of
President Cleveland. He has been singular
in holding his official advisers together
SO long. All but one of the Presidents have
had their cabinets more or less disinte-
grated by deaths and designations and few
have held them intact for the two years
which mark the length of Mr.. Bissell' S
term in office. Even Washington's two
Secretaries of State, his Secretary of the
Treasury and his Secretary of War re-
signed their offices. Not only have mem
bers Of the cabinet resigned and died in
Office, but some have been removed.
1t is customary when a new President
takes office for the members of the old
Presidents cabinet to retire. The rule has
not been invariable; for in the early part
Of the republics history Gideon Granger
served his country as Postmaster General
for thirteen years-that Is, in four different
presidential terms. But, as a rule, the out
going President takes his cabinet with
him, and this is the most frequent cause
of the retirement of cabinet officers from
their positions. Next to thisAcause comes
dissatisfaction with office holding or with
the particular conditions Of office holding
in a particular case. More than one third
Of all the cabinet officers of the United
States appointed by the President have re-
signed their offices. Up to 1876 this is the
way the record stood:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1895-03-08

dividends to annual conferences, in sub
sides. ETC., the sum Of s136. 591.16, of which
something like one hundred and twenty
thousand dollars has gone to superannu-
ated preachers. The Epworth League is
also book concern beneficiary; last year
1t was helped in its magnificent work to the
extent Of about twenty-eight thousand dol
lars.
But while there is liberal disbursement
for these good causes. money is being re-
served for broadening the foundation Of
the concerns The net capital Is being
steadily increased, during the past two
years it having grown to the extent of
Sl29.1lS.22. which sum is being applied to
providing increased facilities for manu-
featuring and to diminish the money in
vested in insurance.
In the annual report Of the book COM
mittee this interesting comparison occurs:
We desire to remind you that the divi-
dend to the annual conferences paid in
1898 was only $4,000; that in 1855 1t
was only si0.O00. This reference is made
to emphasize TIE payment, in the last two
years TO the superarnuates OF Our cnurGh.
Of $23S.570 This showing is in the
face of severe financial depression which
has shaken many of the most vigorous
business houses of the country. and has
especially visited publishing interests"
This year the share of the Baltimore cor
ference amounted to $166S.
Rev. DIR. E. d. Huntley.
One of the best known among Metho-
'iiSt iliI!StSrS III w d lew } Sdi .
ago was DIR. E. ID. Huntiey. then pastor of
Metropolitan NJ. e. Church. Fearlessly in
dependent, he spoke with plainness that
was frequently painful to those whom he
believed to be, and who generally were, in
the wrong. He was. therefore. both popu-
lar and unpopular, but neither approval
nor applause seemed to work any change
in his sturdy and too-rare methods. During
recent years DIR. Huntley'S health has been
somewhat impaired, and while in search
of suitable climatic conditions, the irr =
pressible doctor moved back to the region
from which he came to this city to take
charge at metropolitan. Now it appears
that he will soon return to the Baltimore
conference. He is doing we'll in Milwaukee.
though, Information to that effect being
conveyed in a letter read by Secretary
Maydwell: sent by Presiding Elder J. T..
Creighton Of the Milwaukee district, Wis
consin conference. The letter says:
THE Rev. DIR. E. d. Huntley is in the
second year acting as supply at Summer
field Methodist Episcopal Church. Mil
waukee, Milwaukee district Wisconsin con-
ference. The immense competition, the
stronger churches of the other denomina-
tons being near by, and some special cir
cumstances connected with this old his
toric church. render the field q difficult one.
1t gives me great pleasure to testify to
the marked ability with which DR.. Hunt
ley has met the demand. to the noble in
hcence he is continually eXerting, and to
the high respect in which he is held by
the ministry and laity of the entire city.

Speculation Influenced by Reports
From London.
BEARISH FEELING REGARDING B. 30
Declines Noted in Other Railway
Stocks.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS


Special Dispatch to The Evening STAR
NEW YORK, March S-Speculation this
morning influenced largely by Lon
don's growing skepticism as to the desira-
bilfty of American railway shares at the
present level of values. The weakness OF
Canadian Pacific and Baltimore and Ohio
in both of the local and foreign markets is
directly responsible for the unsettled con-
dition abroad. Officials of the latter road
are authority for the statement that the
road is earning . per cent on the stock
and that financially the property is in
satisfactory condition.
The enormous expenditures of the last
year upon which there is no return what
ever, the existing business depression and
the legislative disappointments are
grounds on which the street bases its ex-
ceptions to the utterances of the COM
panys officials. A further decline of IL
per cent in price this morning followed the
marketing of a small supply of stock.
Later in the day a small part of the early
loss was recovered, leaving the prevailing
sentiment still bearish.
New Jersey Central sold down / IS per
cent on selling for both accounts. Nash
vile was weak at / per cent decline, and
Western Union yielded under well-circulat-
ed bear rumors. the motives for which
could not be ascertained. New York Gen.
trail sold down 81 per cent on a revival OF
rumors affecting the probability of contin-
ued dividends at the present rate.
The railroad list for the time being pre-
sents few encouraging features. and the
disposition to sell on all rallies Is clearly
manifest among all classes of operators.
Sugar was again the sensational feature
of the day, attracting a liberal volume of
business under pressure of an almost con-
tinuous demand, in which both accounts
were represented. Initial figures reelected
a gain of 5-S per cent over night to which
an additional 81 per cent was added al
| most Immediately, making the price 90 IL.
From this point the price receded frac-
tionally, only to attract renewed buying,
which forced it up to 81 IL.
An advance in the rates for refined
sugars without any corresponding advance
in raws. the prospect of a further advance
early In the coming week and the approach
of the busy season are factors IN the pres
ent situation which are calculated to i'm
prove the market value of the stock.
A substantial gain from present prices
Is predicted by those who are acquainted
with the source and object of the present
movement. The balance of the industrial
| list was steady, under small volume OF
business.
The weakness Of Lackawanna and Della
ware and Hudson, resulting in losses of
2 "a and 21s per cent, respectively, was the
feature of the closing hour. Final figures
WERE In the main, lower, Sugar being

The Property Was Stolen.

About a month ago William II. Warder
assigned his hardware business on It'll
street to South Washington dealer, and
today he was in the Police Court for selling
some hardware that had been stolen from
the store of Barber & Ross. A young man
named Bernard Lee stole the hardware,
which consisted chiefly of locks and hinges
He was employed in the store. and when he
APPEARED before Judge Miller today he said
he committed the series of thefts, as he
had no money, and wanted to pay a bill.
The bill was $1.50, and ne only realized
- cents from the sale Of about $40 worth
Of the stolen property.
Warder had disposed of the most of the
pre- perty to merchants, and the charge
against him was receiving stolen property.
Judge Miller held him guilty of the

IN THE JURY's HANDS.
Hnyward's Fate Yet to BE An
nOunced.

Hnyward's Fate Yet to BE An
nOunced.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mirn., March S-The
fate Of Harry Hayward, charged with the
murder of Catherine Cling, now rests in the
hands of the men whom Mr.. Erwin calls
twelve yeomen of this republic" Today
the last word of Judge Smiths charge to
the jury was spoken and the trial, SO far
as judge and counsel were concerned, was
at an end, after having lasted almost sew
en- weeks Court opened an hour earlier
than usual to give MIR. Erwin time to close
| his argument for the defense, which had
already lasted two days.
1t took Judge Smith forty minutes to read
his charge to the jury. He declared that
the verdict must be guilty as charged CT
not guilty.
In judging of the credibility of the wit
nesses the jury was entitled to consider
their attitude on the stand, the reasonable
ness of their statements and the conditions
under which they testified. If it was be-
lieyed that any witness had testified falsely
it was at liberty to discard his evidence,
except wherein Confederation from other
reliable sources established it's credibility.
If it was apparent that any witness was
possessed of iil-feeIing against tho ac-
cuSed that also might be taken into con-
witness had given testimony en- a promise
of immunity from punishment that must
also be carefully weighed.
The charge was generally conceded to be
fair and impartial.
The ruling passion in Harry Hayward
was strong in the presence OF death. He
placed bet of $40 this morning that the
verdict would be an acquttal and that 1t
would be reached inside of two hours by
the jury.
Judge Smith stayed in the court room for
an hour. and then, as no word came from
the jury room, went home to dinner. The
court was adjourned until o'clock. The
verdict is awaited with anxious suspense
by the whole city. and the newspaper
offices are flooded with telephone inquiries.
There is a firm belief among the police
and deputies on duty at the criminal court
room that in case of not guilty YER
dict there will be riotng. There Is no
way in which Hayward can be taken from
the court room except through the crowd,
and many threats Of violence are being
made.
A Verdict Reached.
Later-A verdict has been reached and
the judge sent for.

Number Re-
appointed. signed,


This list does not include those who have
been transferred from one position in the
cabinet to another, or those who have re-
tired with outgoing Presidents.
1t is by no means singular for a man to
decline a cabinet office; though it is usual
for the declination to be made privately.
The President Of the United States seldom
appoints man to a cabinet position until
he knows that the appointment will be ac-
copied. President Cleveland consulted Mr..
Wilson of West Virginia and asked him If
he would accept the Postmaster Generals
office before he sent the nomination to the
Senate. But several Of the Presidents have
made nominations which were declined.
Isaac Shelby declined the office of Secre-
tary of War in 1917 after his nomination
had been confirmed. John Mclean de-
clined the same office in 1871 and Edward
Bates in 1850 Theophilus Parsons de-
clined to be Attorney General In 1901, and
James A. Pearce would not accept the
place of Secretary of the Interior in 1850
