Elected 10 the Bench.

In 1861 Hilton was elected Judge OF
the Court of Common Pleas, defeating
William M Allen by majority of
about 1900. While Judge he edited
the two volumes known as Hilton's Re-
ports. At the end OF ...s term he re-
sumed the practics of law.
1t was about 1869. or shortly after his
retirement from the bench, that Judge
Hilton formed the remarkable relation
ship with A. T. Stewart and his for
tune that was to continue until the
death of the merchant prince, in 1876;
and then, transferred TO the widow,
was to endure until her death, in 1886;
and, still again transferred TO the body
OF the vast estate of the Stewarts, was
TO exist as long as any part OF that
fortune remained. The beginning or
this relationship has been traced to the
fact that Corn'elia Clinch, the wife OF
A T. Stewart, and Ellen Banker, the
wife of Henry Hilton, were cousins.

In Charge Of Vast Estate.

When ON April 10, 1876, A. It. Stewart
died III was found that he had left prac-
tically everything TO the control and
disposition OF Henry Hilton. Hilton
was charged in his will with the task OF
closing up the immense commercial
business, for which a bequest of 81 ,000,-
900 was made to the judge. Later 1t
was learned that instead of closing up
the business for Stewart, Hilton owned
IL and was conducting ii for himself.
There was no intimatlon of what was
to follow-the greatest surprise in a
chapter OF remarkable surprises. Short
ly after her husbands death Mrs. Stew
art transferred TO Judge Hilton all in
terest in the commercial business OF A.
IT. Stewart. She said she did this at
the request Of her husband. Judge Hill
ton thereupon transferred to her the
600 left to him by Mr.. Stewards
will.
The amount of the fortune thus
-olaced in the hands or control of Judge
Hilton has been variously estimated.
but IL was known to be large. Conser-
vative estimates put dt at $35, ,000, 900 To
$40, ,000 600. while more liberal estimates
reckoned Il from $50 900 900 to $50, 000 900.
Mrs. Stewart survived her husband
ten years. and .a,e great Stewart for
tune survived her ten years. In 1876
Stewart died; I'm 1856 Mrs. Stewart died.

Mystery of Gray Hair.

That mans hair sometimes turns
gray very suddenly is fact well known
to psychologists. Statistics, however,
on this subject are very rare, and for
this reason Prof. Virchow, the famous
German scientist, recently requested
number Of physicians to send him full
details of all such cases as might come
under their, observation. AS q result
DR.. Moritz, the well-known authority
on diseases Of the throat, has Just pub
lished in the Archive full account of
such case. The subject, or victim, is
q day laborer about SO years of age.
Some time ago he was very nearly run
over by railroad train, and naturally
he received severe shock. On the fol-
lowing morning friend asked him
what he had done to his hair, and, look
ing In the glass, he saw that there were
two distinct patches Of white on his
head, one exactly in the middle and the
other just above his right ear. Each
patch of white hair covers a space of
from three to four square inches. The
evident conclusion is that this sudden
change of color was caused solely by
the fright which the man experienced
when the train flashed by him within a
few inches of his body.-N. Y. Herald.

Richmond, Va, May 2J.--At the morn
ing session of the Presbyterian General
Assembly the following, offered by DIR.
Kerr, of this city, was docketed for
further discussions
The General Assembly takes occasion
to express ITS strongest condemnation
of the lawless spirit abroad in the land,
manlfesting itself i'll many ways, but no.
Itably III scenes of mob violence and the
taking of human life in cases of sup
posed or proven crime, without due pro-
cess of law, involving the awful danger
OF intiicting death upon an inoncent per-
son, while the real criminal goes free:
tending also to cheaper human life. to
unsettle the social order and To weaken
or destroy that reverence for law and
constituted authority which the Scrip
lures require all to uphold.
I'VE therefore urge all our people and
ministers, i'll all scriptural ways. to do
their utmost toward cultivating and
maintaining that order and reverence for
authority which are enioined by the
word of Cod
The standing committee in publication
recommended the APPROVAL of the puhlica-
ton of report. which was done.
The Assembly adopted the recommcn-
dation of the committee on oyerturcS
that in cases of emergency. the modera-
tor can call Il meeting of n PreSbytery
without the concurrence of two ministers
or two elders.
The reply Of the committee To the
overtures from the I'rcsbytery OF
Athens, that there is no warrant for the
observance of Christmas and Easter as
holy days. was adopted unanimously.
The Assembly concurred in the recon-
mendation of the committee, that alter
mates may take the place of principals,
or vice versa, after Il church court has
been constituted. and one or other has
taken part i'll the proceedings.
The afternoon session of the Assem-
bly, was occupied with the further con
sideration of the report of the Com
mittee on Overtures. The Assembly
refused to concur in the recommendation
that the reports on statistics and sys-
tematic beneticence should embrace the

proposed by Mr.. Arnold. Of Florida. He
cited cases where ruin and trouble
had come as Il result of dancing, and
he urged the Assembly to issue a new

overture of Fayetteville Presbytery.
After Il long debate, the pending aues-
ton was called. and Mr.. Auld's substi-
tute was adopted.

Wanted Universal Mercantile Schedule
not by Southeastern Association.
Norfolk, Va. May 2J.-The feature Of
the second days session of the South
eastern Tariff Association at Old Point
was the unanimous refusal by the mem
bers to endorse the proposition of Presi-
dent Gay that the universal mercantile
schedule be used by insurance companies
in the future. The subject precipitated
Il lively discussion. 1t was held that the
universal system of rating is the only
really scientific method yet discovered.
Its classes and graduations cover the
various different classes of risks thor
oughly. the scale of rates varying with
location of buildings, and with minute
detail regarding the character of their
contents. Nearly all the members who
spoke in praise of the schedule how
ever declared it was not the system at
present needed by the Southeastern AS
Sociation.
Insurance Commissioner of North
Carolina, James II. Young. addressed
the Association, explaining the Willard
and Craig laws of his State.
At the afternoon and evening sessions
the New Orleans compact matter was
taken up. 1t involves the compensation
of agents and is one of the most inn
portant subjects before the body. This
discussion will extend into tomorrows

reason but by the greed of the one who
possesses the monopoly.
1T has been said that the power to tax
is power to destroy. A monopoly pos
sesses the power to tax: it can levy such
assessments as it will upon the purchas-
er and we can no more afford to permit
such Il power to be exercised by private
individuals than we could afford to au-
thorize private individuals to use the
machinery of taxation in order to enrich
themselves at the expense of their fel-
lows.
'"The Government would be guilty of
gross neglect if it permitted an individual
to secure IL monopoly even without legis-
lative assistance. hut it is still more cul-
pable, if by legislative act it furnishes
the means by which Il monopoly is Sc
cured. The corporation is the means
now employed by those who seek to Sc
cure Il monopoly. Since the corporation
is fictitious person, created by law, the
power that creates can regulate, restrain
or annihilate To say that the Govern
ment is impotent to prevent the organ
iZation of trusts is to say that it has
called into existence fictitious person,
and that the fictitious person created
has become greater than the creator.
"One of the difficulties which has been
encountered in opposing trusts is that
the trust hides behind the Federal Con-
stitution when attacked by State legis
lation, and shields itself behind it's State
charter when attacked in the Federal
courts. No remedy will be complete that
is not coeXtensive with the Federal Gov
ernment. If the extinguishment of the
trusts is left to State legislation, the pub
lie at large will be victimized as long as
a single State will furnish a robbers roost
where the spoils collected in other States
can be divided.
"Just now people are startled by the
principle of monopoly as it manifests it
self in the industrial trust, and well
may they be startled. The principle
however, is the same as that which
manifests itself in the effort of the ma
tiollal bankers that secure a monopoly of
the issue of paper money.
