absence, and he warned his wife and
her friends not to have anything to
do with her. As further result OF
this report the husbands father, Sir
James Kitson, revoked his allowance
OF $500 year to his daughter in-law.
Most Of the experts who were called in
correct on tho facts reported, though
one said the facts were not inconsist

however, did not plead the truth of
the accusation Sin justification, so
out evidence by which the
plaintiff claims she could conclusivcly
have proved her purity; but he merely
claimed to have believed in good
faith what he reported TO his wife,
and also the pathologist of hospital
with which he is connected-which
latter was claimed to be evidence Of IA
deliberate purpose to ruin her reputa

was that the plaintiffs husband be

Chandler retained enough of his
grip so that the New Hampshire Re-
publicans convention, true to party
tradition, straddled the silver question
in way that would satisfy the ex-
tremest free coinage nan. Perhaps,
however, it is offset by South Dakota
which declared unexpectedly the other
way. Chandler in his letter of apology
for what he pronounces his coward
iy' compromise with the Mckinley
men, stoutIy asserts that Reed is a
bimctaIist.'

Senator George of Mississippi in the

United States district attorneys and
marshas, quoted effectively from the
constitution of Vermont the section
as first framed by the fathers and
with immaterial changes remaining
today. which reads:
AS every freeman. TO preserve his
independence, if without sufficient
estate, ought to have some profession,
calling, trade, or farm, whereby he
may honestly subsist, there can be no
necessity nor use 10 establishing Offices
of profit, the usual effects of which
are dependence and servility, nnbe
coming freemen, IN the possessors or
eXpectants, and faction, contention,
and discord among the people. But if
any man is called in 10 public service,
to the prejudice of his private affairs,
he has a right to a reasonable com
pensation and whenever an office,
increase of fees or otherwise,
becomes so profitable as to occasion
many TO apply for il the profits ought
to be lossencd by he legislature.

ion that this is the principle which
ought 10 guide in all such matters.

December he thought his prospects of
full recovery better than they had ever
