terday he held in horror. This brief
history explains better than pages of
commentary the firm grip which the
Figaro" retains upon modern France.
The best writer's (of a certain age) are
among its contributors; such criticism
as it presents Is amicable and old fash
Toned; its news is not much less trust
worthy than the news provided by its
rivals; and at any rate it make no
profession to govern the country or to
keep the conscience of the citizens. M.
de Cassagnac the other day charged it,
in a page Of brutal logic, with caring
for nothing but the till, and of course
the charge is well justified but then
M. de Cassagnac is a fierce moralist,
who would lay down his life for his
gospel, and perhaps when he takes the
Figaro" as seriously as he is bound to
take himself he loses the sense of hui
NOR. However, let us not forget that
the Figaro represents exceedingly
well the respectable, half-informed,
semi-cultured good sense of France,
and that he who would understand the
golden Cor leaden) mean of French life
cannot do better than consult it's col
umns.-From Macmillan's Magazine.

ONE OF PENN'S DEEDS.

A deed from William Penn came to
light in Chester last week. 1t is dated
1902, and owing to its great antiquity
and excellent state of preservation, is
an object of much curiosity. An inter-
esting feature in connection with the
deed is that the original grant of land
conveyed by Penn was made to Thomas
Minshall and the property Is now held
by Thomas Minshall, a descendant, the
deed never having passed out of the
possession of the Minshall family The
grant is in Middletown Township, Della
ware County, and consisted of 1853 acres
of land. The parchment is huge affair
and connected with It, by a piece of
blue string, Is the seal Of red wax, four
inches across. The face bears the in
scription: 1893. Truth, Peace, Love
and Plenty" In the centre are three
ears of corn and vine, On the re-
verse side is inscribed: william Penn,
Chief Proprietor and Governor of Penn
sylvania." These words are in the CEN
ire, while at the top and bottom are
the words Mercy" and Justice" The
seal is carefully preserved in round
tin box and does not bear a scratch

New York, March 1.-THE stock mar

ON the public agitation against increas-

were even more prominent on the rise
than in the earlier weakness. The an

snow storm and the cold weather. Fore
casts of General Electric's annual re-

THE TEXAS RANGER.
Having Played His Part He is Now
Giving Way to the New Civilization.

With the disappearance Of the bad
men and the gradual extinction of the
wild tribes of Indians infesting the Tex
as and southwestern frontier, another
hardly less important and far more pic
turesque and necessary type of men are
becoming memories of the past as the
days of their usefulness are drawing to
close.
The pride of the Lone Star state, the
Texas ranger having played his part, is
gradually shrinking away to mere moth
ingness before the march of civilization,
law and order. He contributed an i'm
portant part in breaking the shackles
that bound this vast empire to the Mex
lean government. After this he pur-
sued a relentless policy of determination
against the various marauding bands of
desperadoes that made the wild and bad
