In the death of George Munroe Stearns
at Brookline, Mass, early Monday morn
ing Massachusetts lost her most famous
jury speaker and an attorney the equal of
any member of the Bay state bar. Mr..
Stearns had been in i'll health for some
time and moved from Chcopee to Brook
line two months ago, hoping that he would
be benefited by the change. He was born
at Stoughton in 1881, his father being a
Unitarian minister. His grandfather re-
fused the presidency of Harvard college to
remain Unitarian minister at Lincoln at
a salary of S400 a year. Mr.. Stearns's
childhood and youth were spent at Rowe.
Mass. He graduated from the Harvard
law school and began the practice of law
at Chicopee. Although he had three or
four partnerships with Springfield LAWYERS
he retained his Independent office at Chic
opee until year ago. Mr.. Stearns was
first, wit; second, an orator: third a
Democrat. He had held many public of.
fices, including that of district attorney Of
Massachusetts, during the first term of Pres
ident Cleveland. Mr.. Stearns was WILDLY,
known as 1.-THE sage of Chicopee," and he
will long be remembered as a strikino and
forcible personality.

BRATTLEBORO LOCAL.
AN ALLIGATOR HUNT.
Rev. Herbert Hl. Andrews Writes of His
Experiences as an Indian MIssionarx,

Rev. Herbert IN. Andrews Writes of His
Experiences as an Indian Missionary.
A former Brattleboro boy and a graduate
of Williston seminary, Rev. Herbert NJ.
Andrews, who with his wife, has been in
the missionary field in India for the past
four or five years, writes Interestingly to a
| friend here of their work in the northwest
| province, where they are in charge of a
large district, says the Springfield Sunday
Republican. He says they are now enter
ing on perfect season OF winter, the days
bright and warm, the nights cold and clear.
Mr. and Mrs. Andrews are making a tour
of the district on their bicycles, camping
and preaching at all the villages along their
route which they can reach during a six
weeks or two-months' trip.
Ever since his arrival in India he had
been hoping to see a live alligator. He
had often gone to the banks of the Ganges
for the purpose, and frequently imagined
old logs and roots of trees to be sleeping
monsters, but he was not rewarded by the
sight of an alligator in its native haunts.
During the rainy season the little river
Eson, which runs through Mampuri, is
very high, and one day two aligators were
near the bridge and a fisherman caught one
OF the creatures in a net. He tied his
mouth and then fastening him to little
truck, took him to the missionary's home.
The alligator measured 134 feet in length
The missionary bought him for his skin,
but the next thing was to kill him. The
alligator broke the cords that bound him
and went Hopping around the compound,
frightening the natives who ran in all di-
rections.
a revolver was produced and the mis-
IN bn
shot him in the eye. The natives thought
he was certainly dead as he lay so still, but
the first thrust of the knife in taking off
the skin demonstrated the fact that he was
very much alive. He struck one of the ma
tives terrible blow with his tail, almost
breaking his leg, and stuck one of his
teeth in the thigh OF another, inflicting a
great cash. He was shot in the other eve.
but it did not kill him. A third shot under
the forearm served to reach the vital spot,
after which he quietly submitted to having
his coat removed, which is now being tan
ned by native with the hope that it may
be brought home. This is one of the di-
versions, says the writer, of missionary life
in India, and the story might make very
effective missionary item he adds, under
the heading, "a frightful struggle with a
monster alligator in missionary's front
yard" A woman was telling me last
night, he writes, that a cobra had been
killed in her parlor in the summer, and a
missionary told of his experience with rats
running over his face when in bed. How
ever, | have never seen but one snake in
my house, although | have killed sever
scorpions and several cobras and
snakes have been killed near nv
Mr. Andrews expects to return tc
in about two years.

GruesOme Figures ofIso,

~, according to figures gathered by the
Chicago Tribune there were 1912 cases Of
seIf-destruction in the United states last
year, as compared with 443G in 1898. $500
IN 1892, 1881 in 1891, 264O in 1890 and
~ IA IN 1883. For a long time, therefore
suicide suicide mas been steadily gaining. But
growth in the number of murders. This
was $500 in 1894, as against 6615 in 1904
an increase of about one-half. In only
l32 cases did the murderers suffer the ex.
IRENE penalty under the forms of the law.
but there were 90lynchings, 134Iof them of
negroes: ld6 of the lynchings were south
OF the Mason and Dixon line, against "a
Ior all OF the other states. 1t is a relief to
Gistover iifI Ihat this crime is gradually dimin-
ishing In 1892 there were 235 lynchings
and there were 200 in 1898, -an Indication
mat Judge Lynch is yielding to enlighten-
ed public sentiment.

The End of the Le.ow Investigation.

n.
The LeXow committee has at last adj
Journed, after demonstrating beyond doubt
that the police department of New York is
rotten to the core. At the closing session
Saturday Inspector Mclaughlin and Su.
perintendent Byrnes were witnesses. Aft
er giving his testimony, Superintendent
Byrnes made public his letter of resir-
nation, sent to Mayor-elect Strong Dec
Is. Police Justice Voorhis sent to .be
committee an affidavit making denial of
the charges made by Captain Creeden and
others that he received money for his ac-
tion in the promotion or transfer of anv
police officer while he was a police COM
missioner. Anthony Comstock, the noted
crusader against immortality, who was
charged by Louis f. Streap, before the
committee, with having received br' Is. in
an open letter denied the charges and
branded Streaps testimony as false in ev-
cry particular.
superintendent Byrnes made an appar-
entity frank statement before the commit
tee, but it is significant that he acknowl-
edged possession of fortune of S35O.OOO
lie explained that this was derived from
To- ''v investments made in his behalf bv
ia! "ouId ii':u ms su.n q onrca Commodore
Vanderbilt having given him hi, first
start. 1t is held that there was potbipo in
the nature of brbe in these transactions
that Superintendent Brynes really invested
MS own money, and that made large profits
because he was so well guided by the |
uoulds. At the same time those who bavo |
hoped to see Superintendent Byrnes coma |
out OF the examination with an unblemisb-
sd character can hardly regard the explana.
ION as satisfactory. If occasion had
arisen for proceedings by Superintendent
oyrnes against Jay Gould, it is natural to
suppose that ordinary gratitude to the man
VINO mad made his fortune would have led
nm to show quite as much consideration
or Mr.. Gould as the police captains show
ID to the policy dealers whose places were
o be raided. 1t is quite evident that the
'ollce department of New York needs to
'e completely re0rganized and given an
htlrely new set of traditions.

Rev. DR.. Parkhurst is wroth over the
tender way in which he considers that Sn.
perlntendent Byrnes of the New York DO
lice department was handled when he was
put on the stand at the close of the Lexow
investigation last week. Tuesday a state
ment, proposed by DR.. Parkhurst, was
given out in which he attacks the commit
tee for not standing up to the rack and
probing deep when they came to Byrnes,
Just as they had up to that time. DR..
Parkhurst holds that Byrnes was the rot
ten head of rotten police force, and that
he could, if he would, have himself per
formed the york of exposure and puriica-
tion which Rarkhurst finally compelled to
be done.

Death of senator Fair OF N.v.d.

Inc life OF ex-senator Fair of Nevada
who died in San Francisco Saturday, was a
romance. Coming from Ireland a moo,
boy, he made his way to California with
the "49ers" His projects were highly
successful, and he was already possessed
OF extensive wealth when, in 1867. he he
came one of the noted quartet of gold and
silver princes-Fair, Mackay, Flood and
OBrien. His service as senator from the
pocket borough of Nevada was but an in
cldent in his career 1t is true that Incl,
favored him, and that he took the tide of
fortune at the flood, but he was a sagacious
man of affairs, skilled executive in his
numerous operations and successful read
er OF human nature. He leaves a fortune
of S4OOOO,00O to his children. He had
lately become reconciled to his son whom
he disowned year ago.

= Iso4's Bad Financial R.oo..,,

The bad financial record of 1894 NAV be
summed up in part as follows: There has
oeen an important decrease in the money
circulation and the heaviest increase in the
national debt ever made in a year of peace.
The price of commodities has fallen disas-
trously to the ruin of farmers and manu-
1acturers Iron has fallen S1.5O per ton.
and wheat and cotton have been at the
lowest points on record. We have sent
so, 1000 gold abroad notwithstanding
the merchandise balances of trade have
been $50, OOO, 600 in our favor. The val
ue OF the leading railway shares has fallen
on Sl2o, ,OOOOOO, and the net earnings of
loo railroads have decreased $4,000
as compared with 1892. Dividends op
300, ,OOO,0 600 of railway stock have been re-.
duced or passed and the net result to hold
