In fact, had never heard of it until she told me herself.

REGENT IMPLICATIONS.

"In Wild Rose Time" By Amanda Douglas, author of Nellie Kinnards Kingdom" etc. A strong and sympa- thetic picture of life among the poor a record of their trials, temptations and struggles. Little Bess and Dilsey, ig- norant, suffering children, but inno- cent, unselfish, devotedly loving, were as frail wild roses, springing up from the mud of the slums and bearing blossoms so fair as to be worthy of tranplanting in heavenly gardens. A slight thread of a love story, the brok- en ends of which were united by the children, runs through this most pa thetic record, which Is so vivid that as we read it we fear it may be true.

 q heard a strange story to-day" said the doctor in his office late at night.
 You remember" he said, when Frank Broter was found in the hall of my office with a bullet through his brain and pistol by his side%
 The reporter nodded in affirmation.
 You know" he continued, that eve rybody thought 1t was suicide, for 1 Frank was then under treatment by me for a nervous affection that made him wild at times. thought he had taken his own life, as every one else did, and he was buried under that lm- pression. The coroner's verdict was to the same effect also. Well, to-day his sister died, and before she crossed the dark river she asked to see me alone, and now know that we were all mis- taken about poor Frank.
 "There was another brother if you remember, named George, and he was the black sheep of the family A bad boy from the beginning, he grew worse when his widowed mother died, and for five years before Franks death he and his sister, who worked, as you know, in the central office of the telephone com pany, supported him. They boarded him in the same house with themselves, and, as far as appearances went, he had quite as much of the worlds goods as either of them. He drank and gam bled and was in trouble all the time, and often threatened them if they did not give him more money This they did, but the more he received from them the more he asked, and finally he made such a demand upon Frank that he refused to do anything for him ex- cept to board and clothe him. The sis ter joined with Frank in this resolve, and George threatened to kill them both. No one knew of this except the brother and sister, for the girl was sen sitive and shrank from telling her trou- bles to her friends.
 "On the day of his death Frank came to my office to see me, and there was no one about. I had been called away suddenly, and had taken my assistant and my door-boy with me. as I expect ed to return shortly. I did come back, and when I did found Frank lying in the hall with the pistol by his side. It was IllS OWIL PlolOlJ elllO yOu hilOW t4AS rest-up to to-day.
 'To-day the sister told me that George had killed Frank. As far as she could determine George had fol- lowed him there, and had quarreled with him in the hall. To satisfy him. self that George was telling the truth he had gone to my telephone and called up his sister at the central office. Evi- dently the two brothers were near the instrument, for as Frank called she heard the voice of George ordering him away from the phone He refused, and then she heard George curse him and drag him away. She could hear the struggle, as 1t continued in the hall, and then suddenly came the crack of 0 pistol, and Frank screamed: oh, George! George! brother you have

The aim and objects of the new organization are set forth in the report of the proceedings of the meeting in another column. It will be seen that the club now enters upon a broader sphere of usefulness and intends to en- list a large body of citizens in active interest and participation in practical politics. 'The new civic movement" as Dr. Smyth well styles it, accepts the task before it in the firm faith that the best results in municipal govern ment can, by persistent effort, be wrought out on American soil" This civic movement will be hailed with satisfaction by all who appreciate the

TERMINATING.
 | The Democratic party is fermentine
 finely over the sound money doctrine
 enunciations of President Cleveland,
 and the trouble has only just begun.
 From "Dan to Beersheba," or rather,
 from Maine to Texas, there is hub
 bub that threatens ominously for the party's well being. There is no doubt that the gold standard will have to
 be maintained if we are to have pros
 perity, but under the Republican
 party's wise and sound financial policy
 there was never any fear by European nations that foreign creditors would re-
 ceive anything else than gold in pay ment for financial obligations due them from this side of the water. The great
 and menacing trouble that confronts
 the Democratic party is the same lack
 of cohesion, unity and agreement on
 the money question that there was on
 the tariff question. Here comes no
 less a big party leader than ex-Speaker
 Crisp of Georgia with loud declara-
 ton in favor of substituting the 16 to silver dollar standard for the gold
 standard in this country" which the
 Hartford Times, so long prominent as a party organ in Connecticut declares,
 "can only be described as stupid piece of business. The Times adds, "When he says that the Democrats of the country are in favor of that change and opposed to the views of President Cleve- land, he says what is untrue, and the stupidity consists in not knowing that it is untrue and that it never will be true. MT. Crisp cannot be the leader of the Democratic party in the next house of representatives"
 The New York Tribune remarks; President Cleveland's letter to Gov ernor Stone of Missouri proves clearly enough that the writer's hand has lost none of its cunning in the difficult art of subterfuge and evasion. History will recognize MT. Cleveland as the statesman who could write more letters on tariff and currency without uttering positive opinion on either of those subjects than any other man of his time"
 The Worcester Spy well says of Pres ident Cleveland's letter to Governor Stone: Tt is another of his sound money proclamations, that like his recent Chicago letter, abounds in catch words and platitudes, but that fails to explain what he means, or what policy he approves and will uphold. It is all nonsense to prate about 'non-sectional American manhood,' devotion to prln- ciples,' the phantom light of free, un- limited and Independent silver coinage so long as the president keeps the coun- try in the dark as to his definition and term sound money'"
 Congressman Sperry of Hartford gives utterance to sound views on the question proving himself one of the few able men in the Demo- cratic ranks, but his work is but "a drop in the bucket" compared with the perfervid utterances of influential Dem- ocratic silverites in the west and the I..a west in opposition to the Cleveland | etter But there is yet hope for the party. The New Haven Monticello dub is this week to tackle the gold | md silver question in debate. Then | here will be music, especially as the jtate central committee of the party s to wrestle with the question in the afternoon.

MT. Alfred c. Johnson, United States consul at Stuttgart, Wurtemberg, ad- yises our state department of the re- markable reduction in the number of enigrants from Wurtemberg to the United States In 1898 the number was 4,965, and that had been about the average number each year since4 1891 In 1894, however, the number fell to 2461, a reduction of 50 per cent. For years, says MT. Johnson, nearly all the emigration from Wurtemberg has been ito the United States, less than 100 each year going to other countries. There has been for many years a greater emil gation from Wurtemberg, in proportion to population, than from any other part of Germany.
