claimed that the court erred in holding
that it was not an orphan asylum and
also in holding that st. Vincent's Asylum
was a San Francisco institution. This
contention the Supreme Court seems to
regard with favor, applying it also to the
Armitage Asylum, and denies any right
on the part OF the Boys'and Girls Aid
Society to be called an orphan asylum.
The Girls Directory is not to be regarded
as an orphan asylum in the exact sense of
the word.
The cause was remanded, the Probate
Court being ordered to modify the decree
in accordance with the Supreme Courts
decision.

taking an active interest in the undertak-

will put in the most attractive displays.

has refused dozens of good bids for space
from agents and dealers who wished to

New York bank president He said he
had received letter from a southern
bank president asking him if he could
purchase some silver certificates for
him in New York at the quoted prices

as follows: 81 see by the stock market
reports that silver certificates are
quoted at about g. Could you get
some for me at that price? I should
like to get ones and 'twos' if 1 could

buy stock of them at CT cents on the
dollar and pay them out to his custom

MORE NEWS FROM THE MASSES

When Vermont voted 1t was quite
plain that farmers are not such fools
as some people think they are. The
Maine farmers have now been heard
from and they are even more emphatic
in their reputation of folly, fallacies
and dishonesty than were the Vermont
farmers.
The Republican vote in Maine is
really astonishing. 1t has been gener-
ally understood that the Republican
managers there We're talking cautiously
and making their predictions so that
the result would be likely to exceed
them. Acting on this understanding
the silverites have been talking about a
Republican plurality of 10000 in order
to offset the effect of Republican
shrewdness in predicting 10000 or so.
But the returns so far received indicate
that the silverites didn't get their fig
ures high enough, and that they can't
peat the RepupHcanS even in their
minds.
The general expression this morning
will be THAT settles it." In all proba-
bility it does. 1t clearly shows that the
people are sound and able to do their
own thinking. 1t will not be surprising
If what is left Of the silver organization
goes to pieces rapidly now. The rats
are deserving the sinking ship in New
York, and in other States there will be
similar action.
AS the Boy Orator has we'll said,
it is the masses against the classes this
time. And the honest and sensible
masses seem to be decidedly against
the wild and scheming silver classes.
