An Observing American Paints a Pen
Picture of a Great City.
New York business man, who Is in
England, has written a letter from Lon
don to one of his friends, which is
quoted by the Philadelphia Record
II was in parliament when the lib
eral ministers threw up the sponge.
There are many curious-lo looking En-
glishmen in the house of commons, and
l never saw more n otley crowd. There
were solemn-looking personages, wear
ing wigs; there were strange beings
with bald heads and whiskers; there
were red-haired and yellow-haired
men: there were 100 faces which Sig.
Lombroso ought TO put in book.
Three-fourths of the members wore
their hats in the house. mostly stove
pipes and derbies. Nearly all of them
were clumsily cad. Some wore-ill-fit-
ting dress suits, others getaways: many
had sack coats of all colors, and but
few had stylish clothes. Lots of them
had trousers that were too short or
were too long or very slouchy, while
some wore clothes that looked so gro
tesque as to suggest Baxter street in
New York or Petticoat lane in London.
So much for my first impression of the
first assembly of gentlemen in the
world. / used to think that the house
of representatives at Washington was
badly dressed, but had not seen the
British House of Commons. AS for
brains Of parliament. it seems to me
that every man whom l have heard
speak during my four visits to 1t had
a hatful of them, closely packed, wheth-
er he was tory, unionist or Glad
stonian. The speeches in the House of
Commons are not in the nature of rant,
but are rather plain and direct state
ments."

THE USE OF WIRE,
The Multiplication of Purposes to which
1t Is Being Put.

IL Is being fut.
A marked increase in the demand
for wire has been noted of late as a
feature in the general revival of trade.
This is Of especial interest and import
ance, as it not only means better wages
for more men in the great wire mills,
but IL also proves renewed activity in
the manufacture of electrical devices,
an already great and constantly grow
ing one, upon which almost every phase
OF commercial and mechanical activity
is nowadays more or less intimately
dependent. Increased prosperity In the
electrical business can mean nothing
else than widespread demand for new
trolley lines, heightened or duplicated
telegraph and telephone plants, more
dynamos and motors, added messenger
circuits. the multiplication of the push
button in all its endless uses-in short
the awakening of the Industrial world
from its recent state of suspended ami
nation. The people Of this period have
a thousand uses for wire not thought OF
fifteen or twenty years ago, and the
news that many of the establishments
where 1t is made are forced to rur
twenty-four hours a day, and tina,
some of them are even then unable Il
fill all the orders they receive, Is a.
good an indication as could be desired
that calamity bowling will not be mum
bered among this falls styles.

The details OF the trial We do not
propose to enter upon; they would be
too tedious. The counsel on both sides
was the best the state Afforded. and
the pleas were able and eloquent. But
the defense amounted to very little.
The simple plea of lawyer, be he ever
so eloquent. will not change the minds
OF men upon whom such chain OF
startling facts had been impressed. The
evidence was sufficient to commit any
man, and those whom the sight OF
Grahams handsome face had preju-
diced in his favor felt their proposes
sion yielding gradually, and settling
down at last upon the inevitable con-
clusion that he was guilty. The only
defense his counsel urged was the I'M
blemished character of the prisoner
and the lack OF a motive to the crime.
He had nothing to gain by the death
OF Marina Trenholme. He was not the
lady's lover that he should seek re-
venge, and he could have no personally
private animosity to indulge. for the
two families had always been the best
of friends. Where, then. was the mo-
tive?
The trial was virtually closed and the
jury went out to agree upon YER
diet. One could see by their hard-set
faces that they were agreed already,
but they felt some form necessary.
They were absent only few moments,
