BeeCher-TiIton Case Brought
Before the Public.
THEODORE WON'T AGREE.
The Once Famous BeecherTiltOn Scan
dal is Again Before the Public in
an Effort to Get Theodore TiItOn
to RejOin His Wife in Their Old
Age.

NEW YORK, April 16.-Friends o
Theodore Tilton and his wife, who
have been induiging in the"hope that.
with the passing of the Beecher family
a reconciliation might be effected be-
tween the couple that have so long
been separated as result of the devel-
Opments in the audal of which Henry
Ward Beecher was the central figure,
have about given up hope.
It is understood that when Mrs.
Beecher recently suffered paralytjc
stroke, and her life was believed to be
in danger, strenuous efforts were made
by some of Theodore Tilton's closest
friends to induce him to come here
from Paris. where he has lived for
years, and remain with his
wife for the span of life tn It
appears to be left to her. Their efforts.
however, were entirely without avail:
yet it would appear that Tiiton does
not harbor any extreme bitterness to-
ward his helpmeet of bygone days, as
he readily consented few days ago to
affix his signature to some papers that
would enable her to dispose of proper
ty standing in her name in Brooklyn.
Without his cooperation, the transfer
could not have been effected, and the
fact that he DID not manifest any ire
in this particular leads
some people to believe that his heart is
toward the woman who, per-
naps, of all the innocent victims of
he Beecher scandal, has suffered the
most.

Editor of THE BEE:
The discrimination on the ground Of
color merely in the Bureau Of EnRrav-
ing and Printing, not only in the max
ing Of appointments from the eligible
register, but IN the dismissal of colored
printers assistants and others already
in the service. for no other cause than
being Republicans, the present chief
has broken the record, as will be seen
in q letter Of the Secretary Of the
reasury in response to the Senate's
resolution of April Io, 1894, directing
him to transmit to the Senate, in sep
arate lists, the names of all clerks and
employees appointed. reduced and
dismissed since March 4th, 1898.
The dischsrging Of seventy colored
printers assistants, as against eighteen
white printers assistants, and the rein
statement Of the latter upon their own
application, pl.inIy show the discrim-
ination made by the present chief. No
allegations have been made to the
commission that the color.d women
were removed for any misconduct, but
says they were removed for the good
Of the public service; and further, that
they shall be bright and active young
women.
1t seems to me absurd for such a
poor excuse for their dismissal, they
having competed in civil service ex-
animation and obtaining rate of per-
centage far Dove the white appointses.

SOME OF THE REASONS WHY.

From the Lexington, KY, Standard.l
The negro, VIM. Black who was
charged with the horrible crime of
tempting to rape Mrs Edward { Clarke
at Lebanon last November the night
of the elect on, Was taken from Louis
vile last Tuesday, well guarded, and
was tried, convicted, and sentenced TO
the penitentiary for seven years. The
Standard rejoices 10 know that this
man had a lair trial and was taken
{ o.n that place to Frankfort without
being mobbed. Black pleaded guilty
to ,he charge, not because he was
asked 10 do so, but simply a true
confession; he deserves the full pun
ishuent which WAS given him. We
have nothing to say but hope that
other worthless negroes will take
warning aud keep themselves from
the penitentiary which. 10 speak the
ruth, is intended for all scoundrels.
We have to commend the action of
Governor Bradley Tor the prote ction
which he afforded him. Il would be
a capital I ing indeed, if the power
was invested in the Governor to sup
press mob violence instead of the local
authorities In our opinimn if the
Governor had the say, the State
would not have had such disgraceful
scenes. At any rate, Black ought to
thank his star and garter that the
Louisville Legion was near him.

LINCOLN ReMEMsERED.
and the Confederate Captain Riddle Was
Released PROM Prison.

A kentucky contributor sends TO The
Youths Companions pleasing anecdote of
A Abraham Lincoln. 1t has never before
been published, he says, and was received
by him from the other party TO the story,
who is still living in Kentucky. 1t illus

per of the great war president. During the
presidential campaign of 1910, when Gen
eral William Henry Harrison was the Wing
candidate, Lincoln, then n young man just
rising into prominence, accepted an invi
tation TO address an audience in Union
county, Ky, at Wing barbecue.
He was met at a landing on the Ohio
river about ten miles from the place of the
barbecue by committee headed by Cap
tain George w. Riddle and was escorted to
the meeting seated in spring wagon by
the side of Captain Riddle, the driver.
On the road Mr.. Lincoln entertained the
committee with several amusing anec-
tlotes and on arriving at his destination
delivered an able and eloquent address
probably the only address that he ever de-
livered in his native state.
After the speaking Captain Riddle, who
commanded military company, fired a
salute in honor of the orator of the day,
but the cannon, an old six FOUNDER, was

out any serious results. Captain Riddle
raised subscription TO pay Mr.. Lincoln
expenses contributing literally himself,
and then escorted him back to the river.
The future president was much pleased
with his visit and so expressed himself.
Many years passed. Mr.. Lincoln was
elected chief magistrate of the nation and
the civil war broke out Captain Riddle
took sides with the south and having ex
pressed his opinions rather boldly was ar

Brains by the Million Tons.

A recent estimate has it that there are
nearly 1900, 600 tons of brains in this
world The statement looks more than
fictional at first. One suspects that
Richard Harding Davis or Stephen
Crane may have added few hundred
thousand to the figures as representing
the amount of their own gray matter.
But the total is vouched for by one of
those extraordinary dabblers in figures
who like this sort of calculation.
There may be that quantity, but a
good deal of it must be very shopworn,
and some of those whose brows are
bullying must have got their contents at
bargain counter sale. For instance,
take those disciples Of the Aubrey
Beardsley cult. They run so much to
convolutions that one is pardoned for
thinking their brains may be a little
twisted-like their work. Then the
man who gets up the yellow kid supple
ments. The coloring matter in his head
must be something more lurid than
gray. If it is yellow, it is not first class
stuff and therefore does not count in
the sum total Cigarette fiends, and
there are many of them, probably have
just smoke wreaths inside their skulls,
but the smoke, being solid, counts in the
alarming total.
For the 2, 600, 600 tons of brain there
are an awful lot of follies in the world.
There must be ton of foolishness to
every ounce of brain, so the sum total
of folly must be almost as heavy as the
reputed weight of the world itself

Hopes of Youth.

How bright those summer silvery stars
That deck the sky Mt night
When morning comes, they fade away
And vanish from our sight.
Like these are many hopes Of you
AS feeting and as bright.
Some fondly dream OF happiness
In fortunes glided track,
And list TO pleasures siren song,
And follow at her beck,
While others strive with flames bright
wreath
Their honored brows TO deck.
The hopes OF youth are numberless
AS sands on oceans shore.
A wave OF time sweeps over them
They're gone for evsrmore.
Whom manhood comes, no trace Is left
OF these bright dreams Of yore.
