Mr.. d. b. Barksdale was president. Mr.. G

arbitration. The essay excited more or less
comment by every one present. There were
many differing opinions on the subject, but
all seemed TO agree that the trend was TO
ward settling disputes between nations by a
court constituted 10 investigate the facts, and
with authority TO decide questions that arise

was likely ere long to cost her her life.
Danville knew her we'll enough to know
that there was but one way Of saving
her, and thereby saving himself. She
had always refused to emigrate; but he
now insisted that she should seize the
first opportunity he could procure for
her of quitting France until calmeS
times arrived.
Probably she would have risked her
own life ten times over rather than have
obeyed him; but she had not the cour-
age to risk her sons too; and she yield
ed for his sake. Partly by secret in
fluence, partly by unblushing fraud,
Danville procured for her such papers
and permits as would enable her to
leave France by way Of Marseilles.
Even then she refused to depart, until
she knew what her sons plans were for
the future. He showed her a letter
which he was about to dispatch to
Robespierre himself, indicating his
suspected patriotism, and Indignantly
demanding to be allowed to prove it by
filling some Office, no matter how small,
under the redoubtable triumvlrate
which then governed, or more proper
ly, terrified France. The sight Of this
document treasured Madame DanVille.
She babe her son farewell, and depart
ed at last, with one trusty servant, for
Marseilles.

The supervisors of st. Lawrence
county, N. Y, have unanimously voted
to request the legislators from that
county to help make the legal rate of
Interest five instead Of six per cent in
New York state. Advocates Of the bill
argue that many of the loans on real
estate are made at five per cent now,
and there is no reason why all good
loans should not be at that rate 1t Is
not likely that reducing the rate to five
per cent would drive any appreciable
amount of capital from New York state.
It is the better security which eastern
loans give that gives them the prefer
ence over the seven, eight and even ten
per cent offered by the western loan
companies. With the rate of interest
reduced to five per cent there would be
a large demand from farmers for va
rious improvements which they cannot
afford to borrow money for at the six
per cent rate. The lower rate will also
give better security. 1t will probably
net the lender as much as six per cent
when offset by the losses that the larger
rate usually involves.

Plight OF an Ocean Traveller Who Lost
His Ticket.

Plight OF an Ocean Traveller Who Lost
His Ticket.
There was one young man on the
steamship New York, says the New
York Times, who paid well for his pas
sage. When it came time to present his
ticket to the steward it was not to be
found. Pockets were turned inside out,
trunks were turned upside down, hat
bands torn out and a sbaterOom con-
verted into a wilderness Of pillows, bed
clothes and clothing.
The unfortunate passenger asked
every man, woman and child on the
ship: "Have you seen ticket No. 1902"
Notices were posted on the bulletin
board. The next day the passenger
lost his identity. Everybody called
him 81 SOL" From that time he was
known by his ticket number
"Have you seen Mr.. 1901 to-day?''
some one would ask. Then a dozen
voices would ask:
(Which 1901 the man or the
ticket?"
After the big dinner Thanksgiving
day, Mr.. 1901" gave up the struggle
and paid $125 for his passage. This is
the way he figured it up:
81 have examined the first and Sec
ond cabin passengers and know every
thing they possess. When I state that
the New York customs authorities
won't get within a few thousands OF
what is due them I give expert testi-
mony.
"The steerage had 2O2 passengers in
it. 1t would take me at least three
days to examine them, and that would
bring me into Sunday, and as We are
due Saturday, I guess I'll give it up"
When 1901" left the pier yesterday
he was better known than the purser.

Col. Ingersoll declares that he has at
last found a church that suits him, and
he intimates that he may join 1t. The
same is the Peoples church in Kalama-
zoo, Mich, of which Rev. Caroline j.
Bartlett is pastor. 1t is conducted on
the Institutional plan, with parlOrs for
social events, rooms for students, IL
braries, kitchens and so on, and was
erected largely through the generosity
Of Silas Hubbard, wealthy Citizen
who died recently. This all pleased the
Colonel, as did the fact that the church
is undenominational requiring no creed
whatever. So great was the Colonels
pleasure that in his lecture he declared
that the church was the grandest thing
in the United States. Col, Ingersoll

Efforts to procure the appointment Of

to that reported by the last congress;
authorizing negotiations with Great
Britain, Russia and Japan to that end,

ley. The bill provides that, pending
the report of the commission, the pres.
ident is to conclude a modus vlvendl

named, providing for new regulations
or suspending or altering the regula-
lions established by the Paris tribunal,
the modus vlvendi to expire January 3,

April 6, 1894, providing punishment for
violations of the articles Of award OK

applicable to all violations.

II is an interesting question when
fender of silver coin can be refused
nv reason Of abrasion. The question
was brought before the Supreme Court
Of the United States in case involving
the refusal Of ten-cent piece offered
in pavment of car fare on street rail-
road in Jersey City. The conductor
refused the coin when rendered because
he thought it was not worth par, hav-
ing been worn by abrasion while in
circulation. The passenger was eject
ed from the car and brought suit for
damages. He recovered a judgment,
which was affirmed by the Supreme
Court of New Jersey, and this judgment
has been affirmed by the Supreme Court
Of the United States in an opinion rem
dered by the chief justice. In affirming
the Judgment Chief Justice Fuller re-
ferred to the law regulating the pas
sage of defaced and abraded coins, and
declared that there was no provision
against the passage Of silver coins
which were abraded only by circulation,
and that they were legal tender as long
as they bore semblance of the coin.

employment there under the then
existing government. There was
no choice but to obey. So to
Paris he journeyed; taking his wife
with him into the very jaws of danger.
He was then at open enmity with Tru-
dame; and the more anxious and
alarmed he could make the brother feel
on the sisters account, the better he
was pleased. True to his trust and his
love, through all dangers as through
all prosecutions, Trudaine followed
them; and the street of their sojourn
at Paris, in the periolus days Of the
Terror, was the street of his sOjourp
too.
Danville had been astonished at the
acceptance of his proffered services
found that the post selected for him
was one of the superintendent places
in that very Office of Secret Police in
which Lomaque was employed as
agent. Robespierre and his colleagues
had taken the measure for their man
he had money enough, and local i'm
portance enough, to be worth studying.
The affairs Of the Secret Police were
the sort of affairs which an unscrupu-
lousy cunning man was fitted to help
on; and the faithful exercise Of that
cunning in the service of the state was
ensured by the presence of LomaQue in
the office. The discarded servant was
just the right sort of spy to watch the
suspected master. Thus it happened
that, in the Office of the Secret Police
of Paris, and under the Reign of Ter
ror, Lomaque's old master was, natur-
ally, his master still-the superintend-
ent to whom he was ceremonially ac-
countable, in public-the suspected
man, whose slightest words and deeds
he was officially set to watch, in private.
