had his chief kraal, where he used to order the
butchery of thousands in a day. just through

must long ago have been satiated with blood
But there, elsewhere where human passions
rage its thirst Is Unsuitable.

GRAND JURY FIND BILL *
AGAINST ROBERT H. HILL
For Embezlling Funds Collected from
the Mutual Aid Union Beneficial
Association, 3 W. 7th st. 4

The charge was brought against
Hill by the Mutual Aid Beneficial
Association. 1t appears that Hill,
who was employed By the Union as
collector and district manager, left
the employ of the company on the
tenth Of April without previous no.
tice. taking with 0him the route
book, membership book and by
laws OF the Union. He then, with
others, formed the "Royal" Union
Aid Association, copied the bylaws
and all the forms of the Union Aid.
Hill then went to ali the colored
people holding certificates and told
them that the Union was unsafe
now that he had left, but the ROYAL
was to take its place and pay more
benefits. He demanded their books
and certificates, which he took aud
replaced for ones in the "Roval.
William J. Moore, general manager
for the Union, testified that after
Hill left he made an inspection of
the books and found that Hill had
collected dues for April and May,
for which he never made report.
On one occasion he collected four
dollars and turned over to the Union
eighty cents and at another time he
collected two dollars and reported
eighty cents, and so on down the
line Hill will now have to answer
to the Attorney General and jAry
of twelve men.

The whole Saranac community was
on the qul viye, says W. ]. Stillman in
The Atlantic, not to see Emerson or
Lowell, of whom they knew nothing,
but Agassiz, who had become famous
In the commonplace world through
having refused not long before an offer
from the emperor Of the French of the
kecpershfp of the Jardin des Plantes
and a senatorship if he would come to
Paris and live. Such an incredible and
disinterested love for America and sci
ence in our hemisphere had lifted
Agassiz into an elevation of popularity
which was beyond all scientific or po-
ltical dignity, and the selectmen Of the
town appointed dcputatlon to wei
come him and his friends to the region.
A reception was accorded, and they
came, having taken care to provide
themselves with an engraved portrait
Of the scientist to guard against a per.
sonaton and waste of their respects.
Tho head OF the deputation, after hay
ing carefully compared Agassz to the
engraving, turned gravely to his follow
ers and said, "Yes, it's him." and they
proceeded with the same gravity to
shake hands in their order, ignoring all
the other lunlinares.
