WHAT DOES IT MEANs

The trial OF the criminal libel
suit brought by Lord Russell
against Lady Scott possesses
an Interest wholly apart from
that attaching TO scandal in
high life, because IL presents
the extraordinary spectacle OF
a man in love with his mother
in-law.
Lady Scott is the mother OF
Lord Russell's wife, and the
letters put in evidence show
conclusively that a tender affec
ton existed between the two,
both before and after the mar
rage. Lord Russell called
Lady Scott his darling" bis
"loVe" and his "trnest friend"
She was the high priestess OF
Cupid's confessional, to whom
be poured out his soul aud re-
ceived absolution for his short.
comings. He expressed irresis-
tible longings for his mother
In laws affection.
The conventional idea of the
mother in law and her relations
with the man who places his
neck under her yoke is shatter
ed by this revelation of the pos
sibilities Of mother in lawship
in modern society. The ordin-
airy mau, who has been brought
into a state OF grace by the
discipline Of marriage and who
grits his teeth and smiles oil
the visitation of his wife's
mother, is duzed at the con
temptation Of the spectacle of q
son in-law throwing pet names
at the old lady and longing for
her presence.
II would be interesting Ia
note the social effect of This
new phase of matrimony. In
this particular case it does not
seem to have enriched the re-
sources of felicity in tue home.
But law cannot be- formulated
from one case. The socioIogists
ought TO look into it with a view
of determining whether it is a
manifestation of degene.acy or
Of higher evolution in the So
eial scale.

PRESIDENTS FORTH
COMING MESSAGE

Washington, D. c., Nov

been devoting a great deal o.
time to his annual message
during the last week, and has
it we'll in hand, SO that it can
be finished in couple of days.
The message is expected to be
one Of the ablest public docu-
ments Mr.. Cleveland has writ
ten during his two terms. 1t
will be, in a sense. his farewell
to the American people as
their Chief Executive, and
there is little doubt that he
will embrace the opportunity
to mark out the course he be-
lieves ought to be followed by
the National Government for
the maintenance and develop
ment Of the honor and pro-
sperity Of the country.
Foreign affairs will naturally
claim considerable attention,
and the President will have an
opportunity to congratulate
Congress and the country up
on the solution of the Vene-
zuelan boundary controversies
i in a manner honorable and
satisfactory alike to the United
States and to Great Britain
and Venezuela. The condi-
ton Of affairs in Turkey vii
be discussed in detail, and the
President will be able to show
that the ordinary diplomatic
agencies have sufficed for the
protection of American life
land property in the 1'urkisl
Empire.
The last paragraphs of thu
message to be written will b.
those dealing with the situa
ton in Cuba. He will avail
himself OF the latest possible
information as to the nilitar,

prospects for the early success
or failure of the insurgents
may &ave much to do with
shaping his policy. Present
indications are that he will
make no radical recommends
tons on this subject. Other
foreign questions in which the
United States. is interested
will be touched upon briefly.
Secretary Carlisle is pre-

commentator for increasing
the revenue of the Government
by imposing revenue duties on
tea and coffee. and by increas

on beer. The President will

of these recommendations.
The financial reform recon-

will be along the line of Mr..
Cleveland's former recommen-
dations, and will have as
their basis the advocacy Of the
single gold standard as the
foundation of the monetary
system of the country. The re
tirement of the greenbacks and
the Sherman notes will be re
commended, so as to take the
Government entirely out of
the business Of issuing promis

will beiIrecommended at the
same time, to enable the banks
of the country to issue circulat

and which can be expanded or
contracted in volume to meet
the needs Of the business of
the country.
Mr.. Cleveland is alive to the
necessity Of continuing the ex

constructing coast defenses to
put the country in a condition
to resist foreign aggression.
and the recommendations on
these lines made by Secretaries
Lamont and Herbert in their
annual reports will be seconded

SAYS he Did Not Do 1t.

Boston, Feb. 2l.-Calmly, quiet
ly and almost cheerfully Angus ID.
Gilbert, the convicted murderer of
little Alice Sterlin, passed the
night in his narrow cell, impas-
sively waiting for death by the
moose.
No visitors were admitted to the
Charles street jail last night, and
the condemned man retired early
to his last sleep on earth.
In one of his last interviews yes
terday he said that he was salts
fed that he would undergo his
execution for crime he had no
knowledge of committing. Every
thing is in readiness for the eXecu-
ton. All day yesterday the sound
OF hammers could be heard in the
Jail as the carpenters drove home
the pins that held the scaffold to-
gether. The condemned man
could now and then hear an oc-
casional sound louder than the
rest. He knew the significance
but he kept on writing and gave
no sign.
Between 8 and 10 this morning,
dressed in a black broadcloth cut
away, standing collar and black
scarf, he attended religious
service, conducted by his spiritual
advisor, Rev. F. A, Warfield, Miss
Jennie Gilbert, Lawyer Doherty,
Sheriff O'Brien and few others
were present. The services lasted
an hour or more.
At 1920 a. m. the execution took
place.

be set out either at that station or
Shumla or the Viaduct, two sta
tions within fifteen miles of there,
and that the party will cross the
Rio Grande river into the Mexican
state Of Coahuila and that the ring
will be pitched at the foot Of Mos
quito mountain. The region is
very inaccessible to the Mexican
troops, the mountains dropping
close to the edge Of the river, aud
it is expected the fight will take
place in one OF the valleys on the

doubtful whether arrangements

1t will be postponed until early to-
morrow morning. The party was
all we'll and in good spirits when
the train passed here.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Dr. Cyrus
Edison informs theAssociated Press
that he is overwhelmed with cor
respondence since the Associated
Press sent out his report about his
solution of pilocarpinphenyl.hy-
droxid, (aspetolin,) so much so chat
even with three stenographers at
work he is unable to reply to many
of the letters received. He desires
through theAssociated Press to ex-
press his thanks for the kindly
congratulations received and says:
"The aspetolin treatment can be
administered by physician only (;
and second 1t cannot be carried on
by correspondence. The treatment
is very simple and can be admin
istered by any physician, as we'll
as by me. Under no circumstances
will / allow the aspetolin to be sent
to any patient. 1t will be sent to
his physician only and must be
administered by that physician.
81 decline absolutely to give the
patient of any other phyician ad.
vice about his case. / will gladly
correspond with any physician
about his cases. / will see no pa
tient, outside of my own practice,
except as consultant with lis
physician. Any patient wishing to
see me must bring letter from
his physician asking me to see
him. At the final result OF my ex-
animation / will hand it to that
physician and will not communi-
cate it to the patient.
81 wish to impress on those suf-
fering, the fact that their own ply
sicians who know their condition,
are infinitely better judges of the
nature Of the treatment needed
than / can be. Their own physi-
clans have studied their case; they
know the conditions existing /;
they are the only ones who can say
that aspetolin can help.
az am willing to send 4 two
ounce bottle OF sspetolin to any
physician in the United States so
that he:may be convinced, by the
Improvement OF the patients, OF its
value.
81 wish to repeat that aspetolin
Is not a specific for consumption,
although it is for malaria and spec
ticimetia. 1t Is folly to expect any
result from 1t when the patient has
been given up. The treatment with
1t is merely what / called it, ra-
tionsl treatment, because it follows
the line indicated by nature. 1t
has done and will do great good in
many cases, but 1t is not a remedy
which will restore lungs which
have been destroyed.
~ would suggest to surgeons
having patients with hygenic sur
roundings and who fear specific re-
suits, that the aspetolin has been
exceptionally successful in cases OF
specific poisoning"

The French Crisis.

PARIS, Feb. 2l.-The general
opinion here is that the political
crisis has been rendered more
acute by the second vote of conf
dence passed yesterday by the
chamber Of deputies, and it is ex-
pected the senate will persist in
its resistance to the deputies, and
therefore further trouble is antici-
pated. A few newspapers, how
ever, think the senate will yield,
under fear that revision of the
constitution might result in the
adjustment of that body. Con-
sentative organs declare the cabi-
nets victory brings whole con-
