1.-THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL"

Some one has said that money is not the root of all evil" have been told for ages past. Instead of the word "money", ''selfshness" is substituted because it enters largely into all the evils with which we poor mortals afflicted
 It may be, for its influence is felt every hour of the lives of men and Innumerable persons manifest selfshness continually without knowing that it governs them in everything they do. Selfish ness is everywhere-in the family, in society," even in the nursery
 Lecky says that it is selfshness that prompts men to try to go to heaven when they die that they influenced by the promise of rewards for their faith fitness in the observance of the commandments This may be too strong statement but we obliged to admit that do not lose sight of the promise in efforts to walk in the straight and narrow path.
 If it were not true that se6shness is the rule, and not the exception, evidences of unselfshness would not be remarked upon when they observed
 Men accused of selfishness in all their rela tions of fe but observation goes to show that the has nothing to do with the possession of any vice virtue. They are individual qualities and may be discovered in both sexes.
 Some unpardonaby selfish in arrogating to themselves the lions share in all the good things of life and in evading the burdens and responsbl- ties they should assume. They selfish when they take the best of everything before them and leave the undesirable for those about them they selfish in the club, in their business or on vacation, and in thousand other ways.
 Women selfish too they evnce selfshness when they exacting and unreasonable in their de- mands upon the time and attention of their hus- bands they selfish when they indulge themselves at the expense of proper attention to their duties when they extravagant and reckless in their ex- pendures when they know they cannot afford to be-. They selfish when they go out and enjoy them selves and neglect their children and domestic duties They selfish when they insist upon their hus- bands indulging their whms and caprcious dispo- stions. In many ways women may be so selfish as to make the lives of all who about them wretched. This is also the case with some men.
 Selfshness suggests itself all occasions, and never thinks of others of what might be done to alleviate their and sufferngs. It is the tithess of that charity which 'suffereh long and is kind" Indifference to the of mankind, persis- tency in having one's way to the discomfort and displeasure of some else, the promptings of selfshness.

1.-THE DIGNITY OF THE BENCH"

In Chicago short time ago, when Judge Kava- nagh, of the county court discharged prisoner under writ of habeas corpus the assistant district at torney joined the sherffs office in taking the re- sponsibty for re-arresting the man discharged by the court without applying to the court for authority to do SO.
 This was clearly contempt on it's face on its face it completely nuifed the power of the court to act under the writ of habeas corpus After citing the officials before him and making the assertion of his judicial authority matter of record by sentencing them to jail. this Chicago judge did not order their commitment, but allowed their appeal to the appel late court.
 By this action he avoided sitting final judge in a case in which he, himself had an official if not personal feeling of injury. Regardless of the merits of the case, he has set example for other judges and out of Illinois.
 The dignity of the bench' cannot exist in the public mind if it is associated with personal caprice prejudice and acts of arbitrary power It ought to be redeemed from even suspicion of that spirit.

They were to prepare plans and specifi-
cations for the road and also to de sign and

THOIGHT SIZE VAS BEWITCRED.
Woman. Who Lent FlatIr0ns to Neigh
bor and Regretted II. Disappears.

ANsoNIA. Conn, July 11,-Mrs. Powell
Hodge. believing that neighbor has be-
witched her, has disappeared and cannot
be found About year ago the neighbor
in question borrowed pair Of fatirons
from Mrs Hodge and returned them when
the owner was not at home. When Mrs.
Hodge lifted them to put them away, she
found under one, she said piece Of paper
covered with strange characters. She
said she at once realized that some spell
had been placed upon her and since that
time has worried so much over this sup
posed piece of witchcraft that her mind
has been unsettled.
II is said she declared that she was made
i'll so many times by the working of the
spell that she threatened to leave her home
and not let any one know what had become
Of her, SO as to get away from evil influence.
II is believed that her mind is unsettled,
although she was sane enough before leav-
ing home to notify the bank not TO let her
husband or any one else draw out the money
she has on deposit.
The piece of paper she found under the
irons she never showed to any one. The
woman who borrowed the irons says there
was nothing on the paper except few
words of thanks for the irons and the poor
writing may have led Mrs. Hodge to take
the characters for heiroglyphcs of evil
influence

STAY FOR GAYNORs BoNDSMAN.
The Marshal Restrained From Selling
klrk's Property Until Final Trial.

UTICA, July lin the United States
District Court here to-day Judge Ray filed
a decision in a lawsuit which arose over the
collection of the bond of John +. Gaynor
of Syracuse, who was indicted for defraud-
ing the Government in contracts at Savan-
nah, Ga. William b. Kirk of Syracuse
was on Gaynors bond for $4,000, and suit
was brought by the Government authori-
ties in Georgia to collect the amount from
Kirk. An execution was issued and placed
in the hands of Gen. G. ID. MacDougall,
the marshal for the Northern District of
New York, who levied on real estate owned
by Kirk in Syracuse. Mr. Kirk then brought
a suit to restrain the marshal from the
execution of the Judgment and the sale
of the property.
Judge hay in his decision holds that 1t
does not appear in the records that the writ
issued against Kinks property by the
Georgia court was ever served upon Gay
nor or Kirk. Counsel for Kirk contended
upon the trial that the Georgia court had
no jurisdiction as against his property,
and that whatever actions were brought
to enforce the bond should have been
brought in the Northern District OF New
York, where Kirk lived The Court holds
that the bond was forfeited, but il Gaynor
appeared in the Georgia courts as directed
and as claimed, and the order FORGETTING
the bail was made prior to the date Of the
trial, the case presents the question whether
Georgia has power to make valid order
declaring the bond forfeited at time
when there was no default.
The Court holds that there is an incon-
sistency in the records and question of
fact has been raised which can be settled
only on the trial. The proceedings, it is
lr.l.l L. ii, -.
Court does not hold that the judgment or
the execution against Kirk lis void, but he
thinks there are such doubts existing that
the injunction as ked for restraining the
marshal from acting until the case is de-
cited should be granted.
The decision Restraints the marshal
from selling Kinks property until the final
trial Of the case
