The name of the hitherto unknown benefactor
Of Barnard College has been made public The
secret has been well kept, for although the gift
was offered some time ago, the identity Of the
giver was revealed to only few officials Of the
college and the public remained completely In
the dark 1t is fitting since the conditions OF
the gift have been met, that the name should
be disclosed. 1t now appears that the mysteri
ous giver is Mrs Van Wyck Brnkerhof, Of
Hastings, Westchester County, and that her
bencfactlon is a memorial to her late husband
and to her father 1t is a highly gratifying cir
cumstance that the college has been able TO
meet the conditions imposed. and that 1t has

IL not be possible 10 do something Of the same
kind for the unfortunate jurors. who have every
reason to resent the treatment to which they are

The latter are Of immense Importance, and 1t Is
essential In the interests OF Justice to promote

The securing OF a jury In a murder trial is
rapidly becoming one of the favorite comic

shocking than to begin the most solemn of all

couraging. Excise Commissioner Lyman, how

holding back In the hope that the Court Of Ap
peals will declare the new law unconstitutional
He himself has already passed on that question

the law Is perfectly constitutional. That the
Court Of Appeals should have the temerity to
differ with this decision is scarcely conceivable
A new but not altogether unexpected departure
was taken by the Methodist General Conference
yesterday In the decision to retire two of the
Bishops on the ground that they are no longer
effective" The Bishops thus set aside are
Bowman and Foster. Some opposition to the
action was developed In the Conference but it
did not manifest itself to any extent when the
vote on the proposition was taken. The de-
cision TO retire these two men seems somewhat
harsh and will doubtless arouse criticism, but
In reality there is no sound reason for contnu-

they are no longer able to perform their duties

COMMENT.
What London Papers Think of the
Outcome of the Convention.

London, June 20 Commenting on the 81.
Louis convention, the Daily News says:
The important fact is not Mr.. McKinley's
domination. which was generally antici-
pated, but that he is compelled TO stand on
! gold platform. II shows that the great
party which is now believed TO control the
political rIins of the United States has re-
pudlatcd all design of tampering with the
currency. 1t also forces Mr.. Mckinley to
fight rather as q monOmetallist than as a
protectionist. President Cleveland has done
his best TO relieve the Democrats from the
suspicion Of financial unsoundness. But
they are not all orthodox economists like
Mr.. Cleveland, and Mr.. Mckinley will have
to uphold the flag Of e pmIpercial honesty.
II Is true that the Republicans accepted the
principle of blmetalli@m as a practicable
policy if carried out by international agree
ment. But as no such agreement is posi-
ole, this piOus opinion may be neglected.
The Republicans must he congratulated, IL
not upon their candidate, AT least upon their
decision not 10 have anything TO do with
mischievOuS Illusions

alton in favor Of gold, side by side with the
solemn progression with ultra projections
ism, il proof that the economic heresy Is
not hidebound against the more obvious
truths OF the orthodox schools"
TIL st. James Gazette says: at cannot
te said that the Democrats under Messrs.
cleveland and Olney have shown a too
friendly spirit. but W. fear we must not
hope for better things from the Republic
cans. Jingoism Is not Il monopoly of one
party, and we shall be lucky If we escape
causes of differences during McKinley's
regime. We shall be lucky. too, IL we
succeed as speedily as possible In arranging
for the permanent arbitration Of which the
marquis OF Salisbury spoke yesterday. In
conclusion. the ST. James Gazette congrat-
ulates Great Britain on the fact that IL

money!

~BRADSTREET'S REVIEW.
The ~ Seasons Period Of Dull
ness Has Arrived.

New York. June ~. - Bradsir"ets To-
morrow vii say: A national presidential
conyentio. in opening week or the pc
tween seasons period Of dullness explains
the restriction in volume OF trade. III III
dustrial lines there is no improvement. In
iron and steel. prices of some raritles tend
lower and buyers manifest little interest as
TO requirements. Present activity among
dry goods jobbcrs is confined 10 working of
odd lots preparatory 10 stock taking.
Manufacturers of cottons have cut quo
tations to attract buyers, and while there
is increased activity IN flannels for fall
delivery, recently opened fall prints have
found few buyers. The practical end of the
strike and boycott al Milwaukee is followed
by a threat Of iron and steel workers at
Pittsburg to strike If not granted an adj
vance by July /. The movement OF mer-
chandise is smaller in volume than a week
ago, greatest activity being shown in hard
ware, groceries, drugs, paints ana cloth-
Ing.
Manufacturers OF wOolens are reported
more hopeful and are making inquiries as
to supplies OF raw material, but quotations
for wool AT the interior are still above a
parity with seaboard prices. Relatively the
most favorable trade report OF the week Is
from Chicago. where inquiry for iron and
steel has increased and specifications for
work are coming forward more free
lH. This has created q better feeling.
Exports of wheat flour included from
both coasts Of the United States this week
