So WnnanlY.

That the ways of woman are passing
strange was again proved by an incident
on Main street Car last evening. A
gentleman arose to offer his seat to a
lady who had just entered with her lit
tie boy Seeing the seat vacant, she
sent the boy to occupy it, while she
chung to strap. She was evidently
very tired and would have enjoyed a
seat. but preferred to care for her son
first Presently lady left the car, and
the one standing took her seat. Next to
her was serving maid with a pretty
baby on her lap. The lady asked per,
mission to hold it, and the request be,
ing granted she cooed and talked and
played with the child for a half hour,
utterly oblivious of her own boys jeal-
GUS cries and frantic efforts to attract
attention. Cincinnati Tribune.

LEGAL INSANITY.
Should "UncontroIlabIe Impulse" Bar
Criminal Conviction?

Should Uncomfortable Impulse" Ban
Criminal Conviction?
The New York Law Journal recently
contained an editorial article favoring
a modification of the test of insanity in
criminal cases. The ability to distin-
guish between right and wrong in ref
erence to the act committed and to
know that it was wrong is standard
of mental capacity required in New
York to render person responsible for
crimes committed by him.
The Law Journal argues in favor of
grading punishment according to the
mental condition of offenders who may
be partially insane {" Many alienists,
including DR.. Allan MoLane Hamilton,
do not recognize partial insanity, I"
saying that person is either sane or
insane. The state in which the mind
acts correctly as to its Judgment, but
the will is controlled by some Impulse
which the mind cannot master, is not
recognized in many criminal courts,
because il has been found that the ex.
cuse of irresistible impulse led to too
great a number of acquittals in cases
where defendants were really guilty Of
serious offenses.
In civil cases it is easier to deal with
persons whose minds are so affected
that they cannot come to correct con-
illusions as to certain subjects. The is
sues at stake are frequently less impor.
tant, and it is possible to learn whether
a particular act was dune under the in
fluence of the delusion or mental weak
ness which affects the person concerned.

FORTUNES IN FRUIT STANDS.
Big Money In Small Business by Eco
nomica1 Italians,

Big Money In Small Business by Eco
nomical Italians.
Few Of the thoughtless passersby and
chance patrons Of the corner fruit stands
ON the city streets realize the compare
lively large profits reaped by those who
have their capital invested in this ap-
parently insignificant business. To the
average onlooker as he casts careless
glance at the vender of fruit and candy
probably the only thought that occurs
is that here is poor unfortunate for
eigner cast on our shores, who manages
by this simple means to exc out liv-
ing for himself and large family Of
small children. Indeed a closer inspec-
ton into the comfortless lives of these
seekers for gain, involving long hours
spent in continued application to work,
the short remaining time passed in
squalid homes or on the streets, would
reveal little of the true state of affairs.
There is vast difference in the indi-
cations from outward appearances.
Some of them carry an air of prosperity
in neatness of dress and carelessness Of
air, Others seem to wish to advertise
their poverty by a show of battered gar
ments and generally destitute appear
ance But in general those appearances
are deceitfuL The man in rags may or
dinarily be regarded as more fortunate
than his apparently prosperous brother.
He is making more because it is not so
much what is made in profits as what is
saved, and in small business, like that
of the corner fruit dealers, this general
principle is especially true.
The amount of the gains possible to
the astute dealers is seen from few ex-
amples of unusual prosperity. a short
time ago an Italian who had been in
the business on down town corner for
ten years closed out his business to a
successor, receiving from him 50, 900 for
the privilege of his location This
amount he added to fortune of $780,
600 already accumulated. In the stock
yards region similar sale was made in
consideration of $3.50. In the same
neighborhood the death recently of
veteran in the business revealed the fact
that he had been possessed Of property
amounting to ST, 000 Some of our
largest business blocks, notably on State
and Halsted streets, are now owned by
those who started in business in this

is a very strong Republican. The loan
drew 6 per cent. interest and was for only
forty days, and was on first-class security
upon which I had borrowed from Chicago
banks before. It was purely a business
transaction. No one was asked or author
lied to indorse for me. Some days before
the note matured my man asked the bank

that II not convenient ne would pay it all.

CITY OF MEXICO. Feb. 3~.-Negotiations
are in progress between Mexico and Guat-

settlement. G~uatemala's envoy, De Leon,
is most conscientiously working TO bring
about a pacific settlement. He says he has
great hopes of success, and is ably second
ed by Foreign Minister Marischal, who,
like his government. is imbued with a
spirit of peace. The only war talk heard
here is by foreigners. and foreign news
papers that arrive contain more sensa-
tional news than was ever known here.
The government of Mexico, in order to be
prepared for any emergency, is leaving no
stone u%nturned. Judges, lawyers and law
students have organized themselves into a
species of national guard. and are drilling
daily. 1t is announced that both Foreign
Minister Marischal and G-uatemalean En-

of their respective governments, and the

Col. A. K. Mcclure, in McClure's Magazine.
On the night after the battle of Bull Run,
Lincoln sought no sleep, but after gather
ing all the Information that he could as to
the situation. he devoted the hours of early
morning to formulating a plan OF military
operations, and it is marvellous how closely
that programme was followed in the long
was fought to its contamination. This was
Lincoln's first distinct assumption Of the
duties of comnander-in-chief. He wrote
out in pencil. with his own hand, MEM
oranda directing that a blockade should
be made effective as soon as possible; That
the volunteer forces at Fortress Monroe
be constantly drilled and disciplined; that
Patterson's forces be strengthened and
made secure in their position: that the
forces of West Virginia continue to act
under orders from McClellan; that General
Fremont push forward his work in the
West, and especially in Missouri; that the
Army of the Potomac be reOrganized as
rapidly as possible on Arlington Heights;
and that new volunteers be brought forward
speedily into camps for instruction. This
9Th of July he added 70 1t that when the
foregoing shall have been substantially at

burg should be seized and permanently
held. with an open line from E1arper's
Ferry to Strausburg. and a joint movement
from Cairo on Memphis, and from Gin
cinnati on East Tennessee, should be
first acceptance of the necessity that called
him TO exercise his duties as commander
in-chlef, and it will be observed that his
plan of campaign fully comprehended the
situation and the military necessities which
arose thereafter.
