To every aspect of the problem of
life Herbert Spencer must have given
thought, but he has plainly declared
that the human intellect as at present
consulted can offer no solution. The
greatest mind that this world has yet
produced-the mind that sympathized
all human knowledge, that revolution
lied modern science that dissipated
materialism forever, that revealed to
us the ghostly unity of all existence,
tina re-established all ethics upon an
immutable and eternal foundation-the
mind that could expound with equal
uciditv and by the same universal
formula the history of gnat or the
history of sun, confessed ITSELF be-
fore the riddle of existence scarcely
less helpless thae the mind of Il chsld.

The following card, sent out by a
Detorit commercial club, is worth
reading and FASTING in your hat: ''If
there is any chance to boom business,
boom it. Don't pull long face and
look though you had sour stom-
ach. Hold up your head, smile and
look for better things. Hide your
little hammer, and try to speak we'll
of others no matter how small you
really know yourself to be. When a
stranger drops in, jolly him, tell him
this is the greatest town on earth,
and it is. Don't discourage him by
speaking i'll of your neighbors. Lead
HIM to believe that he has at last
struck place where white people
live. Don't knock. Help yourself
along by becoming popular, and push
your friends with you. It's dead
easy. Be good fellow, and soon
you will have procession of follow

knocking other people down in

PROTEST AT H0LD-UP.
GROUT RIPS ALDERMEN.
BeIieues They Sought Money for
p Il. r.. Franchise and Got 1T.

Controller Grout last night. starting out oy
saving that the Board OF Aldermen should oe
abolished and aIiuding 10 the hold-up OF th7
New-York Connecting Railway Halehise'
reached the climax of a speech at a meeting
under the auspices Of the Central FeoeTaleo
Union at the Murray Hill Lyceum by declaring
that he believed money was the consideration
which led the aldermen TO try to DOCK the
granting OF the Pennsylvania tunnel frahchise
bv holding out for eight hour labor clause.
Narrower. he animated that he believed they
got this consideration.
After the board gave away the Broadway
franchise. its power was taken away" he
began. You have heard OF many hoid-ups' the
latest the Connecting Railway--
= man IL. the audience asked, Mr.. Controller,
how do YOU stand with the labor organiza-
tionse
u suppose my friend in the audience refers to
NV attitude or the Pennsylvania tunnel fran
chise,, replied the Controller. My position was
that IT would be Of momentous beneht to New
York. and the putting of an eight hour clause
fn the contract was out Of the province OF the
aldermen The members Of that board USED the
eight hour argument as a pretense Tor geltns
What they wanted What was that considera-
,ion9 ANYWAY. as soon as they got that consid-
GRAFTON they forgot ali about the eight hour
law"
..)o YOU think that money was the considera-
tom" asked one of the audience.
Yes. that is my thought" said Mr.. Grout 1T
was commonly reported about the City Hail at
that time that the consideration was one which
must not be talked about in public. tell you.
these things are not held up for nothing. It is
the hold-ups to-day that stagger us, and they
are not for any good purpose.
Think Of the Board OF Aldermen voting down
an appropriation Of 100000 for Fairgrounds
for poor children when the Mayor and the other
members OF the Board OF Estimate had passed
the measure.
The meeting was held to protest against the
franchise by the aldermen. EX-State Senator
John Ford was the first speaker.
i viii explain to you why II is that smooth
little man who controls the Board of Aldermen
IS able TO hold up franchises until he gets a
little money for the passage Of those franchises,
he said. why, if those fellows had to be
voted for by all the people in town, do you
suppose they'd be nominated even?
There is more graft more corruption be-
tween The MAYOR. the heads of departments and
old Boards OF Aldermen. l mean no reflection
Mayor Mcclellan particularly, but on
his heads OF departments. They work in secret.
They meet representatives of corporations In
secret. In the old days. when the Board Of
Aldermen gave away franchises they did IT in
matter whether railroad franchises be good or
bad. don't put it il the power OF the little fell
low 10 hold them up"
Resolutions condemnng the action of the
Board Of Aldermen in holding up the Connecting
Railway franchise and indorsipg the bill re-
moving the power 20 grant franchises from the
aldermen and comforting IL on the Board OF
Estimate, were adopted.

BODY NOT IDENTIFIED.
Murder Mystery at Gardner, n. Y,
Still URSoIUed.
LRY rELEGRAPn no LIE TRIRuNE.

NIddletown n. Y. March 3o.The identihcati ton
of the woman found floating in the Waikiki River,
near Gardiner, n. y, Sunday, not made
this afternoon as was confidently expected.
F. r. Varcoe a dentist of Walden, who did work
or the teeth of Mrs. William Fade. the Walden
woman who is missing. and who was believed TO be
the dead woman, went to Gardner this afternoon
and after examining the body sta ed positively that
it was not that of Mrs. FADE or Mamie Stuart .
she was known before her marriage. William
Stuart Of Walden. brother of Mrs. Fade, also
viewed the body this afternoon, and said Il
not his sisters. No dependence is placed the
statement OF William FADE, the husband, who.
after looking the corpse, said ne guessed IT was
his wife's body" Fade did not again attempt TO
see the body to-day and went TO Newbdrg.
The last and best clew to the mystery, and the
only one which the authorities working on at
present was furnished by the Rev. DIR. James Fl.
Lewis rector OF the Episcopal church of Walden.
He states that young woman answering the
description OF the murdered woman got on a trolley
car the bridge which spans the Waikiki
River in Walden St Patrick's Day, and walked
the 1notornan OF the car, who said that the woman
got his in Newburg, and that some words
she let fall made him think she had come from
New-York. Assistant District Attorney Frederick
G. Travers is working along this line. He said
to-day he believed the woman was from New York
City, and that she had been killed several miles
up the river in Orange County.
