A FORGED LAW.
Curious Anomaly Now Bothering the North
 Carolina Legislature.

Curious Anomaly Now Bothering tho North
 Carolina Legislature.
 The forgery of a law is a curious anomaly in the history of legislation, but North Carolina IS at present in trou- ble over q law which never passed either branch of the legislature, yet was laid on the governors table for signature, having already affixed to it the sigma lures of the clerks and presiding officers of both houses.
 By lapse of time it had become law, and the governor, on applying to the su- preme court to have the law annulled, was informed that the court could not go behind the law itself as it appeared when presented to them.
 A trial for forgery is now going on, ill which the chief and enrolling clerks of the two houses are being prosecuted for forging the names of the presiding officers.
 The law invalidated all conditional or preferential securities for debt and forbade the giving of such securities in the future. A more futile and daring form of fraud would be difficult to im- agine. St, Paul Pioneer Press.

Jesse M. Brown of Franklin, Pa, and Manson Brown of Titnsville, Pa, were called to Akron, O, Saturday by tele- gram announcing the dangerous illness of their father. The two brothers had not met in 20 years. They travelled in the same train and sat opposite each oth- CT. Neither knew who the other was.

It was the first time that she had been able to attend cabinet dinner since her first season here. The little daughter, who has been so i'll with diphtheria, had recovered, as the moth CT thought, sufficiently to be left alone that evening, but while the dinner was in progress 8 message was brought say ing that the little one was suffering from pfostration brought on by fainting fits, to which she has been subject since her illness. Mrs. Smith arose immedi- ately and made her apology, and Presi- dent Cleveland, who, with the rest of the guests was greatly concerned, in- quired:

Shafles Dudley Warner Says That Nurn-
 bers of Men Live Only For Crime.
 Charles Dudley Warner of the Prison Association Of New York spoke. to the League For Political Edaeation on the subject Relation of Citizen to Grim inal'' the other afternoon. In part he said:
 We find most of the men of the coun- try more anxious to make money than to preserve the safety of the state. It is race between the thief and the bur glar and the business man to see who will get there first. We have plenitude ot professional thieves, who rob by yio- fence. Here ill New York 1t is caleulat- ed that there are from 20, GOO to %. 900 professional men, so called, whose pur- pose i'll life is to commit crime for money. They do nothing else but com init crime. They go in and out of prison with more regularity than anything else.
 It would bo better for New York to apprehehd all it's criminals and to shut them up ill the Waldorf hotel at $8 per day The citizens would be then saving money. With all cur outlay we are obliged to barrieade our houses and live in absolute fortresses.
 The speaker said he believed in un- limited sentences in reform schools where the criminals are turned out only when they are cnred and taught trades or professions to earn honest liyelihoods. He said most criminals were morally and physically diseased and should be doctored.

Trolley Company at Caldwell. N. J..

wants to Demoiish It.
 For the past two years the trustees of the First Presbyterian church at Cald- well, N. J., have been fighting the North Jersey Traction company, which IS trying to get franchise for troll ley road through the town, which, if granted, would necessitate the destruc- ton ct the birthplace of the president of the United States, Grover Cleveland. Other residents of Caldwell want the trolley, but as the trustees hold the right to part of the principal thorough fare and do not wish the road on ac- count of the destruction of this memora- ble spot, matters i'll that usually quiet little borough are at present somewhat mixed.
 The house where President Cleveland was born is the parsonage of the First Presbyterian church, oyer which his fa- ther presided at the time of Grover 'A birth.
 It Is pretty wooden structure, two stories in height, and built after plans which at that time were considered the most approved. It sets back little way from the road on Bloomfield avenue, one of tho prettiest roads in New Jersey, and in direct line, according to sur veyors, with the tracks of the deadly" trolley. As long ago as July, 1894, the fight was begun. and it is just now about to be settled
 The trolley people say that although they will not harm the church in any way, the road will have to run very close to it and directly over the spot which the parsonage occupies. They are determined to build the road, and have already an appraisal of the church par sonage, which is given as $100,0 ,000.
 The directors of the Caldwell railway have now joined in the fight, and, strange to say, are endeavoring to secure the trolley company their franchise. % New York Journal
