Douglas were killed. helped WalHng RI
get MN down right, and the result was that
trial in August, 1885, on the charge of hav-
ing been concerned in the abduction of lit
tie Charley Ross, and in a few weeks he was
convicted and sentenced to seven years in
the Eastern Penitentiary.
THE BOYS SKELETON FOUND
Walling became satisfied that Charley
Ross died. So did 1. So did the PhilaAel-
phfa detectives who were engaged on the
case, and so did Christian K Ross. Ahe
father of the poor, unfortunate boy The
building at 55 Grand street adioined that
on the corner of South Fifth avenue About
1880 or 1881, there was a cave-in over there
and these two buildings were so badly dam
aged that they were torn down In the
walls N the basement where Mosher and
his wife had carried on the restaurant they
found in opening the body of a boy. The
different parts were put together and laid
out so as to make a complete skeleton and
experts who examined and measured it
announced it to be unquestionably that of
Charley Ross. The formation of the skull
and of different parts of the frame corre-
sponded exactly with what the experts said
Charley Ross bone formation would be
like, presuming that ne lived for saw a
year after he was abducted.
Charley Ross was born May 4, 1870. He
was alive when Mosher and Douglas met
their fate in December, 1874, for .he was seen
with this William Westervelt getting off a
Brooklyn car on North Second street, in the
Williamsburg section of that city. Douglas
had been car driver in that part of the
town.
Not only was he seen getting off that car
bareheaded and crying, but it was proved
positively that WeStervelt took him into the
house where some relatives of the Moshers
lived. Old Mr.. Ross was so well convinced
that the bones found in the basement OF
% Grand street were those of Charley that
he stopped spending large sums of money in
following up the many clews offered him
afterWard IN various parts Of the world
And the bones were sent on to Philadel-
phia.
SO the mystery is unraveled at last.
Ellsworth Mosher. son of Gilbert Mosher,
the man who told the police who the abb
dences Of his dead father until Charley
Ross's father was dead too. Knowing that
the little bones found in the cellar wall
were those of the stolen baby boy, il is
not hard to deduce the story of his death.
When Mosher and Douglas, the bold spirits
of the infamous gang were gone, the frights
ened remainder probably the woman and
her brother, were left with the child on
their hands. They did not dare restore him.
for detection could hardly fan and they
were not bold enough TO continue TO look
for the ransom money. Probably Wester-
Welt from his connection with the police,
felt that the blood money would never be
paid So to save themselves, the remnant
of the kidnaper gang murdered the baby
boy and hid his bones in the cellar. which
kept their awful secret well enough to save
them from the gallows.

Lesies Weekly.
There have been in the recent years sew
eral instances of sudden wealth. South
Africa and Cripple Creek have produced
millionaires over night and a bicycle and
patent-medicine promoter in England made
instances are so rare to be the sensa-
tions of the two hemispheres.
There are several thousand people who
are each worth a million of dollars or more
and there are several more thousand who
are on the road to become millionaires
1t is interesting to know that the most of
these are persons who are getting their
riches on small fractions of a cent. The
street-railway magnates who are rising to
isfied with part of l cent of the nickel
they collect, because there are so many OF
them. The sugar kings have reduced the
price and improved the quality of sugar,
but as long as they get their fraction on
each pound the Americans buy they can
make profit all the way from 20 TO 80 per
cent. The coal-cil monopoly has also re-
duced the price and improved the product
but it's little fraction makes the greatest
man who invented the patent beer stopper
is getting bigger income than the Presi-
dent of the United States. A cheap head
ache remedy is allowing it's proprietor to
spend q hundred thousand dollars year
and still lay up another hundred thousand
for a rainy day. The railroads are getting
their support from the fractions on the
ton. And so it goes.
The FIRST thing is to get control of some
ton will do the rest, But the same prin-
cipie runs through all business, and large
sales and small profits is the order Of the
times.

The Fairy Sisters.

There was once a little maiden,
And she had a mirror bright;
1t was trimmed about with silver;
Twas her pride and her delight.
But she found two fairy sisters
Lived within this pretty glass.
And very iiterent faces showed
To greet the little lass.
If she was sweet and sunny
Why, ii was sure to he
The smiling sister who looked out
Her happy face to see.
But If everything went criss-crOss,
And she wore 4 froWn or pout,
Alas alas within the glass
The frownug one looked out.
Now. this little maiden loved so much
The smiling face to see
That she resolved with all her heart
A happy child to be.
To "row more sweet and loving
She tried with might and main,
Till the froWning sister went away
And ne'er came back again.
But if she's looking for a home,
AS doubtless is the case.
She II try to find a little girl
Who has a gloomy face.

If you own a mirror, too,
That the frowning sister doesn't come
And make her home with you.

TRUSTS ON TAP.

Everything terrestrial tends TO trusts
Combine is the watchword of the
times, in church and state, of secret So
cieties or political parties, and in bust
ness Antitrust legislation Is but one
combine to beat another. Labor organ
kations and fraternal orders are but
trusts Municipal government Is but
combine, and q general government but
a pool. Antitrust legislation is equiya-
lent to resolve against self. and must.
OF a necessity, therefore, fail Every
company in essence is q combine as
surely as is a corporation. The differ
ence is not in spirit but in degree. The
spirit and degree must in the end regu-
late themselves. The combine which

THE WAR GOES ON.

And so the trouble arising out Of the
Cretan question, over which Turkey
and Greece have been fighting and the
powers concerning, is not settled yet
Salisbury's assertion that sentiment cuts
10 figure in diplomacy may be true, but
sentiment is the soul of every war. Sen
timent inspired the Greeks to attempt
the rescue of the people Of Crete from
barbaric Asiatic rule, and sentiment
must be satisfied ere the difficulty is
Russia nor England stay the conflict.
Sentiment being majority conviction,
as well as the spirit of poetic justice, the
people of Greece cannot be re-enslaved
in the absence of war involving all the
peoples of the powers who have been
wrought upon, whatever crowns and
their chanceliors may resolve. The
protest made by Greece to the world
cannot fall to the ground, diSregarded
and unheeded. The Sultan may demand
and Russia threaten, but as for Greece
the sentiment Of the peoples Of western
Europe must be conciliated or there will
be such a war grow cut Of the unsettled
differences between Turkey and Greece
as the past century has not witnessed.
The Sultan's demand for Thessaly dare
not be granted. Edhem Pasha may
keep moving his hordes forward over
the classic grounds Of Greece, but the
sentiment Of the world will call an eff
fectual halt, one way or the other. 1t is
Mohammedanism against Christianity,
and the world is Christian. OF all this
our yesterday mornings dispatches
clearly enough indicate that the Turk
must accept what is offered him or 9TH
erwise the concert will become a dis
cord and a bloody conflict.

brighter and brighter. The field OF the
patriotic dead for one day in the year

COMING TO BLOWS.

The Organizes and the gold-bug Dem
ocrats are preparing to climb into the
ring. Tammany shouts and shakes its
fists and swears that Bryan shall not
come to New York with his free silver
nonsense. Bryan answers back that
there is but one issue, that the tariff,
which is practically settled, cut no ice
even in the last campaign. The gold
bug Democrats re-reply that there is
but ont issue, and free-trade Grover is
It's prophet
As matter of fact, there seems to be
DO ground upon which the gold and
silver Democrats can compromise their
differences. They are as far apart as
ever. The Bryanites are determined to
make free coinage the issue again.
That will be the case in Ohio, and it
Will doubtless be the case in other
states. The Democratic party in 1897
will be under Popocratic control the
same as it was in 1896. It follows, then,
that the ''true Democrats" as they call
themselves, viii either have to still
their conscience and turn in with the
Bryanites, go ii alone, or give their
support to the Republicans once more
If the gold men are anxious to
destroy the influence of the Bryan
itcs, they should assist the Republicans
to restore prosperity by passing a pro-
tectiye tariff law and then help to ad-
minister another Overwhelming defeat
to the party of cheap money and repudi-
alton. That would do the business.
In a word, the issue must still be be-
tween the Republicans and sound
money Democrats on one side and the
Popocrats on the other, and not be-
tween the Democrats and the Republi-
cans
