Eeirs to Half a Million.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-After searching tor
more than six months, lawyers have
found the heirs to the estate OF the late
John McCaffery. who died here last June,
leaving about $4,000 worth Of property.
After q most careful investigation, these
heirs have been found, and their claim
to shares in the great fortune estaD-
.tshed.
A petition was filed in the Circuit Court
yesterday, which tells the story OF John
McCanery's career, and makes known
those 10 whom his estate viii falL In
his Will the testator declared that he had
several children, whose names he could
not remember. These children. the bill
filed yesterday declares, were Sarah,
Susan and Margaret McCaffery, born be
tween lSil z 1916. and that, after placing
them IN a boarding school IN Washing
ton, their father disappeared IN 49,, never
communicating with them again. The
names of the descendants OF these three
daughters are given. and claim IS laid 10
a share IN the big estate. There are
many other heirs TO the estate, as Me-
Caffery was married three times.

is TO delay a result which is predoomed'
robbing the great body OF the people ii
the meantime for the benefit OF the pro-
tccted manufacturers. VINO reduce the
wages OF their laborers as inland com
petition brings prices down, But the most
impudent claim that can possibly be made
IS that OF the protected manufacturers
that they advocate protection because IL
enables them to>pay high wages. At no
stage OF protection do they pay a cent
more In wages than they arc compelled 10
nav. but. az soon as the competition is
cast on them which protection inevitably
brings. prices Of their articles go down,
and they make that up by reductions In
the wages paid laborers.
OF all men living American lahorers are
most interested to have free and un-
restricted trade. Our situation and our
institutions enable US 10 manufacture
cheaper than any other people. But II Is
useless for us TO manufacture IL we have
no market in which to SELL Cur protec-
tive tariff laws conflae as TO our home
market which We soon AL. and shut us
out OF foreign markets. because other
nations do not buy any more than they are
compelled to buy from nations that do
not buy from them. The American work
ingman should, therefore. be the deadliest
foe of protective tariff and the strongest
advocate Of perfectly free trade. In THIS
way ne can always secure market for
what he produces, and when the mar
kets Of the world are thrown open to
him he can undersell all other nations
in those markets.
The next most important thing Tor
the American workman is sound money.
He wants a dollar Of fixed and unchanS-
ing value When currency begins TO be
inflated everything rises. except wages Tor
labor. They stand al or near where they
were And when monetary disorders oc-
cur the laboringman is the first one that
suffers. Monetary disorders cause sus-
pension Of manufacturing and other en-
ployrnents. and these throw the laborer
at once out of work. Look at the state of
things in Newfoundland to-day. Unsouud
finances have brought on a general sus-
pension of business, and thousands OF
workingmen are resorting to pillage 10
secure bread The wOrkingman should
pray for free trade ana a gold dollar as
the standard Of value and medium of eX
change, and to be delivered from a pro-
tectve tariff and a cheap dollar.

as follows:
In Turkish Major Armenia. 1880. 900: in
Armenia Minor. $1,000: in Asia Minor

stroyed by Turks and E.urds.

On tho occasion Of Lord Melville's tria!
before the house OF lords Hook had scat
among the spectators. He could not re-
sist the opportunity OF mystifying his
neighbors, lady and her daughter from
Sussex. When tho bishops appeared In
their state attire, wearing scarlet and lawn
sleeves over their Doctors robes, he conf
dentially observed to the lady:
''These are not gentlemen. They arc
ladies, elderly ladies-the dowager peer
esses In their own right"
When the speaker Of tho house OF COM
mons appeared and attracted attention by
the rich embroidery of his robes, the lady
inquired:
PRAY, sir, who Is that fine looking per-
son opposite!"
THAT, madam, said Hook, "is Cardi-
nal Wolsey"

angry disdain; I've knows a little better
than that. Cardinal Wolsey has been dead

To certain degree tho inhabitants Of
all Mohammcdan countries arc worship
ers of the tree known as the date palm.
One Of tho prophets most supreme and
binding injunctions is, Honor thy pater-
nal aunt, the date palm, for in paradise was
1t created and from the very heap of dust
out of which Adams body was formed"
The Mohammedans also have tradi-
ton to the effect that when Adam and
Eve were driven from the garden they
were allowed to take with them a date
seed, and that from that single seed
sprang all the date trees now known. BY
some admirable providence the original
date seed was planted, and the tree grew
where the temple Of Mecca now stands,
and from its trunk was hewn the cradle
which often lulled the infant Mohammed
to sleep. The Mohammedans declare that
all prayers are fulfilled which are made
with the knees pressing upon palm wood
or with the same kind of wood In the
hand.-St. Louis Republic.

The trade in larks all over the world Is

1t is admitted by all who know anything

HindOOism and Islamisin.

That the ESQ, 900, 600 inhabitants Of the
continent OF India should ever become one
nation Is SO wild an improbability, and,

for Hindooism and Islam show no signs
OF decay, and the antagonism between
their followers Is on the increase

most powerful elements of national senti-
ment, the pride of the one Is the shame of
the other. The Mussulman glories in

4 Cabinet Crisis.

OTTAWA, March 2S-That there are
serious dissensions In the cabinet goes
without saying, but the extent Of the di-
vision Is the unanswerable question
There are two causes for this want of har-
mony. One Is the recent passage of the
order In council recommending the Man.
itoban government to grant remedial legis.
latiOn to the Catholic minority.
This order has pleased nobody The
Catholics OF Quebec think that the order
ought to be mandatory, while the Prot.
estants OF Ontario assert that the federal
government ought not even by suR-
gestlon, to interfere with the question of
provincial education.
It Is definitely known that Sir Charles
Tupper has rendered his resignation. He
has not attended cabinet meetings for the
past three days. His resignation was
brought about by two causes. In the first
place. his advices that an immediate ap.
peal should be made to the country was
disregarded, and his claim to lead the
house OF commons was denied.
The other cause Of trouble was tho deci.
sion OF the cabinet to hold q session of
parliament before going to the country.
This decision was bitterly opposed by
Minister OF Finance Foster, who will have
a budget deficiency of some g. 0OO, 600 TO
announce and was anxious to make an
appeal to the country before this dis
hearteRing piece of financial news was
officially made public.
