Carter'S Wife and Children

Husband and Father Drowned
His Sorrows in Drink.
From Prosperous Business Man Be-

BosToN, May IA man about 30 years
OF age ran as fast as his totteripg limbs
would carry him up Hanover street
Monday afternoon and disappeared into
Marston's restaurant, where ho sat
tremblingly down at table. In
moment two big men darted in the door
after him. and rushing up to him said:
"We want you"

The two big men, who were inspectors
McGarr and Kelly OF police headquarters,
took the man out OF the restaurant and
hurried him up TO tho Office on Pember-
ton square. When they got there the
man was white in the face and looked as
IL he might collapse.
"What Is your name?" asked Clerk
Barry.
"Charles o. Carter" the man replied.
He said he was b4 years old and lived at
52 Dover street. lie gave his occupation
as travelling salesman. AS soon as no
was booked the inspectors searched him.
and taking him TO the city prison, locked
him up for the night. The charge against
him was forgery.
The case is a very sad one. Carter's

man. He worked at different times for
several big provision dealers in the city.
Once he was travelling salesman for n
big provision house in Chicago. He was
first-class salesman and at the tims he
was employed in Chicago he drew a
salary, 1t Is said, of S2500 year. He had
a wife and several children then and he
was looked upon as prosperous man.
Then his family, one after the other,
died. He took to drink and this COM
pleted his downward career, which was
begun when his family was laid away.
He lost his good position, and while he
secured another here in Boston ne grad
ually sank lower and lower. Among the
t.firms or.which he worked was that
of VIC. & A. +. Mentzer of 25io North
Mar ket street. The officers say that he
forged a couple OF small checks on this
firm.
The offence for which the police sough
the arrest OF Carter was that of passing a
worthless check upon Robert II. Schacht
of the Hotel Thorndike. The check was
a small one--onIy y15. In fact, all the
checks which Carter passed-and they
numb Der about doZeD-were small, rang
ing In amount from IS to si5. He passed
the check at the Thorndike on March 81
last, and he has not been seen about this
city since that time.
McGarr and Kelly bad a good descrip-
tion OF him. They heard recently that
he was at the American House on Hanover
street and that was " hat took the officers
down there Monday afternoon. Appar-

looking about the street near the hotel
Carter ran, thus betraying himself. They
knew then that he was the man they
wanted.
While the officers were taking Carter
to headquarters they say no tried to de-
stroy two checks, but they prevented
him. Carter, the officers say, passed a
check at the Hotel Renyolds and one on
a herdic driver. Each of them was for
SIS. Apparently all he did was to raise
money to live on.

Briefly stated, his plan contemplates
the building OF gigantic aqueduct or
sewer from Worcester through all the
cities and towns along the Blackstone val
ley, through Providence and the towns
along the east shore OF the bay clear to
the ocean at the southerly extremity Of
the state. The deviser of this scheme is
certain there are no engineering difficult
ties in the way that cannot be
overcome. Into this enormous sewer
all the sewage OF every town and
village is TO be turned and the whole
aggregate refuse from good part OF New
England is TO find its way TO the ocean
through it, there to be swallowed up In
the measureless and unmeasurable waste
of waters. The financial aspect of this
enterprise has not yet received the atten-
tion OF the originator, but her remarks
that that is mere matter of detail that
need not be considered until after the
plan is adopted.
A good many people are bothered by
the word commencement" " used In con-
nection with the closing exercises at a
college or university They do not un-
derstand why commencement" should
be used TO designate exercises which
mark the ending of the college year. The
fact is. the term is applied TO the exer-
cises and not TO the ending OF the college
season. Graduation shows, or Is presum-
ed to show, that the graduate is ready to
enter upon career out of college or
school. So the ending of school life
may be the beginning OF college life. The
term commencement, however, original
ed at the cambridge University in Eng
land, and in general has no necessary
reference to the time OF the year or the
beginning or ending of the school or col
lege term but describes the day on which
bachelors and masters of arts take their
degrees AMI commence TO be bachelors
and masters. In England the term "to
commence" means TO take university
degree.

AFRAID OF THE DEVIL.

Farmer Wallace writes from Fargo,

stating that he hopes Davis or Allison

vice-presidency to the end that the Repub-
licans may be protected from the Demo-

In answer to this the Republicans should
be reminded that they are safe from the
rayages Of the comet. There is no power
of attraction IN the Republican body. AS
to the Pops, they are self-respectiag and
they pick and choose their company. So
that again the Republicans are safe. AS
to the devil the Republicans have waited
too long n asking protection from his in-
fluence. He is about ready to foreeicse
the mortgage he took from that party
long ago. And as to the Democrats they
do not want protection from them. What
they want is humiliation of Democracy
and as they have been wanting that since
1856, and have seen no signs OF a raatiza-
ton. they can scarcely hope that they will

THE "REFRAcToRY" IRISH.

In the midst of the crisis over Presi-
dent Cleveland,s message to Congress a
few months ago we quoted the now fam
Gus article in the Times which prophe-
sled that the Irish in the United States
would become a refractory element Of
the population OF that country, in the
sense of leavening the whole mass Of
American opinion with anti-English
feelings says the Dublin United Ireland.
John Oliver Hobbes." the wel1-known
writer, is an American lady who has
married and settled down in London,
and she has recently been on a visit to
her native country. And here is what

We are sure it will be gratifying to the
Times to know that though the Irish of
America are refractory from the point
of view Of the English-they are one
of the very best elements in American life
and society-from the point of view of
the Americans. And if it is not, we can't
