NEW YORK, July 6-The case of DIR. ]. N.
Bishop recalls the famous story of Philip
Nolan" Although veteran of the civil
war, bearing the sears of wounds received
in defence of the Union; although an owner
of real estate in Paola. Fla, a railroad man

wife of the president of the United States,
DR.. j. n. Bishop has no claim to citizen
ship in the United States. At the same time,
Canada, his native country, refused to rec
ognize his right to passport from that gov
ernment. He was born in the little village
of Algonquin, where his ancestors owned
property prior to the revolution. Their
possessions were on both sides of the st.
Lawrence river, and when independence Of
the States was secured their property was
divided. DR.. Bishop spent most of his boy
hood with an uncle in Vermont He studied
medicine. When the war began he enlisted
under Gen. o. o. Howard, and then took
the oath of allegiance. This he believed
made him q citizen Of the United
States. but he had taken out no natu-
raization papers. He was given spe-
cial commission by General Howard and
fought in all the engagements participated
in by that general. After the war he founded
the village of Paola, Fla, and was made
postmaster ofthe place. He now owns half of
the real estate there, and also has an interest
in several southern railroads. DIR. Bishop

the house. and the men entered without
knocking. One OF the men was young, with
a smooth face and wore dark clothes. His
companion was middle-aged man and wore
a false beard. The younger man stated that
he had come to remove the furniture, and
both then started to do so. Miss Dow, thor

This they did, and mastering her cOur-
age Miss Dow told them that they would
have to get n note from Mr.. Horne before
they took any Of the goods. Some words
followed, and the two burglars held a
whispered conversation. Miss Dow says
she heard the elder man say; We'll, go
out and get rope and we will tie her. Then
we can 90 through the house" The
younger man started for the door
and the eldest followed. Miss Dow
seizing hreadknifr which was on table
near by, rushed after the elder man. As he
attempted to get through the door she made

Dow has an excellent reputation, and it is

notable death the past week has
been that of Mr.. Wilbor II. Lansil, the
Well-known cattle painter, who died of
quick consumption at his home in Dor
chester. Mr.. Lansil was born in Ban
G0r Me, on Feb. a, 1885. He was edu-
Gated in the Bangor public schools. In
1872 he removed to Boston and first en-
gagged in mercantile pursuits entering
the employ of Lewis Coleman & Co,
commission merchants. His inclina-
tiOns, however, were all toward a pro-
fessiOnal rather than business life, and
after II years service with Coleman &
Co he withdrew and went abroad for
study, sailing in August, 1884. in COM
pany with his brother, Walter F., the
well known Venetian painter He
studied cattle painting exclusively. first
in France, where he met Ogden Wood,
who was the favoritc pupil of Van
MarkP, the renowned cattle painter and
studied with him Afterward he went
to Holland and there studied with the
prominent Dutch artists. He also visited
Belgium, Germany and Italy. Return
ing, he established his home and studio
in the Dorchester district of Boston.
Here he kept fine herd of cattle for
several years for subjects for his works.
He was one of the most promising cattle
| painters in this country, his pictures
| possessing those qualities which are
seen in the work of Van Marke, Howe
and ether eminent artists. His subjects
were well composed and the life-like ac-
tion given to his animals, including
| careful drawing and fine color made his
works of more than ordinary interest
and merit. His paintings are owned
| principally in Boston and its neighbor-
| hood.

If the Boston city council had its own
way entirely, it would apparently charge
up all current expenses of the city to
capital or debt. Among the objects for
which it would now have the city bor-
row money on 20 years time is "the re-
moval, care and preservation of trees
1t would be quite as reasonable to issue
bonds for street cleaning, says the
Springfield Republican. Mayor Quincy
very properly vetoes this item in the cur
rent loan bill, and other items beside,
amounting altogether to $393,700. The
ground upon which most of them are
dsapproved is that they would nearly
exhaust the city's borrowing power un-
der the state law, and it is wise, the
mayor says, to maintain considerable
margin of this power for emergencies.
That is so, and Boston's debt would not
today extend so far beyond the borrow
ing limit if this rule had been applied
and maintained at an earlier date,

1t is an interesting fact that among
those III city hall who are the most
ardent advocates of the abolition of the
common council are certain statesmen
whose interest in the welfare of the city
is on par with their knowledge of the
fundamental principles of municipal in
tegrity. Their views must be considered
entirely apart from the intrinsic merits
CT the question. They are in favor of
single branch for one of two reasons.
The first of these reasons, modestly en-
tertaincd by members of the council is
a desire to get little higher politically
than they now are. The change will
give them chance. They would like
to be aldermen, and in the substitution
of a single body for two branches they
see what they believe to be their OPP
portunitY. The other reason is urged
also by those who are not members Of
the common council. They are profess
sional politicians, with an eye on the
main chance. They are the municipal
middlemen. They think that the change
will simplify operations in their peculiar
line of business. Both of these classes
are powerful because their support in
1urCS a good cause.

SUGAR TAX UNDER THE MCKINLEY
LAW.

The Mckinley law, like its predecessor
predicated upon the necessity of reducing the
revenue. Further pursuing the policy OF dis.
eliminating against the South, it swept away
entirely the duty upon sugars, which were
allowed to come in free, but yielded to the stiff
demands of the Western beet sugar producers,
the trainers of the law afterwards substituted
bounty to be paid to American producers.
But while the duty on raw sugar was thus en-
tirely swept away and the American rehners
enabled to obtain their raw material free,
duty of $40 OF cent pound placed upon
refined sugar above 10 Dutch standard, thus
giving the American rehners clear benefit 0.
I-e a cent pound. 1t was under the special
privileges conferred by this law, already
stated, that the American Sugar Refining Com
