THE CASE Of ANGUS GILBERT.
Before the Full Bench of the Supreme
Court at Boston,

Boston, November 12.-The case of
Angus d. Gilbert, who was last June
found guilty in the first degree OF the
murder OF the child, Alice M Sterling,
was argued today on exceptions before
the full bench of the Supreme Court. The
questions before the court are wholly up
on matters of law.
Gilbert's counsel claimed that there
was error of law IN the rulings of the
judge who presided at Gilbert's trial.
The exceptions include tine refusal of the
trlai Judge to grant the defendant S
motion to take the case from the jury be-
lore ne nad put In any evidence in his
pehalf, because of the action OF Mrs.
Sterling, mother of the murdered girl,
who exclaimed in the presence of the jury
and the defendant: ooh that man Oh
that man He has killed my Mamie, my
darling, he has murdered her, murdered
her 70 and again: "That is the murderer
of my little Mamie The murderer of
her! the murderer p
This deunciation is claimed by his
counsel, to have had a p1ejudicial effect
on the minds of the jury, and they de-
clare it a sufficient ground for taking the
case to the upper court.
At the trial the government practically
maintained that the defendants deed
covered all the enumerated statutory
classes of murder, among these being
murder committed with extreme atrocity
and cruelty.
The defendant asked the court for in
struction as to what the words extreme
atrocity and cruelty" meant. The ruling
asked for was the words "exureme
atrocity and cruelty used i'll the statute,
do not mean mere violence. but involve
the knowledge of the character OF the act
in the mind of the agent. The request
was refused, and to this refusal an ex-
ception was taken.
The remaining exceptions relate to the
refusal of the presiding judges to give
explicitly the defendants requests for in
structions to the jury on his hereditary
appetite for intos icating liquor as to
whether the use of such by him was
voluntary use on his part, and the effect
in consequence upon his will to commit
crime Of the character of which he was
convicted.

TAMMANY AND CLEVELAND.
No Hope of Reconciliation Between tht
Two.

Washington, November 12.-There is
no prospect of reconciliation between
Tammany in New York and Mr.. Cleve-
land. The talk that has been INDUCED in
about the New York organization unit
ing with the Cleveland mon to send a
solid delegation for Cleveland to the
Democratic National Convention is more
righteousness than anything else. 1t is
claimed that the organization of the
machine will have complete control of
the selection of delegates, and that the
delegation will resist any attempt to give
Cleveland denomination. If they do
not present the name of New York can
didate (other than Cleveland), it is said
they will support Western man, prob

So much is being said about the
passing of the horse with the coming
of the bicycle and motor carriage,
that it is worth while noting that the
idea of the determination of the horse
is not entertained in some quarters.
A Boston horse dealer says in the
Globe: IT find that my trade has in
creased more than so per cent in the
last three years, and there have been
more horses sold in Boston in the last
year than ever were sold in one year
before. Why? Because the horse has
been sold more cheaply and more
have been used for pleasure, both
under the saddle and harness, and
for heavy draught work. And, in my
opinion, good horses will be worth
twice as much in two years as they
are now, because the farmers in the
West, where they are raised, having
got the idea that they would not be
worth raising are turning their at
tention to other took.

Uncle Sam is in the same tender
and considerate hands during the
period of his financial convalescence
as in the height of the fever five
months ago. A slight indisposition
caused by the loss of 100000 gold
has now been overcome by deposit
of an equal amount of the metal in
the treasury by the bond syndicate in
exchange for the legal tenders on
which the other gold was drawn out.
But the doctors and nurses have been
well paid and Uncle Sam need not feel
proud to accept little extra help from
the present guardians of his interests.
He may not enjoy the sensation of
being stretched helpless on his back
for SO long time with the sick room
put in charge of strangers, but there
seems to be no help for it at present.
After the syndicate, however, what?
These doctors and nurses quit the
case on Oct. l. They must be re eem-
ployed at very handsome fee if
Uncle Sam is to receive a continued
application of their gold cures. Judg-
ing from the rate at which they value
their present services $40 100000 will
be about the figure for full years.

In 1925, when Adams was president,
and Henry Clay Secretary of State, a
proposition was mooted to buy the
island of Cuba from Spain, giving that
dependency autonomy, for the sum
of 800, 1000. DR.. Edward Everett
Hale now proposes that we renew this
offer to Spain, increasing this amount
to $2O0,000,OOO Well, the island of
Cuba would not, in all probability ever
be worth tenth part of that sum to
the United States, and, in point of
fact, would do an injury to some of
our industries, by breaking down the
market in sugar and tobacco. Be-
sides that, it is among the possibili- :
ties that Cuba may achieve her own
independence, and not only have au
tomony, but an independent govern
ment of it's own, and even ask for an
nexation to the United States: SO
why should we pay S1OO,000,O 900 or
even 800, 900, 900 for what we can get
for nothing?
