There has been sorrow and genuine
 grief in the national capital this last week on account of the untimely death of Genesal Fitzhugh Lee, who was a general favorite with every body, says Washington writer. AL though nearly seventy years old. his was one of those sunshiny natures that refuse to grow old, and you did not realize his age. His was a life of activity, many parts, courage and manliness all the way through. Many honors had come to him, yet he was always the same cheery, companion able an' kindly gentleman. He never acquired the swell head, and if any, thing was calculated to give it to n man it was his reception here in 1898. after he left Cuba and just before the breaking out of the war with Spain. There never was greater honor paid to any man in this country, and it took big man intellectually to with stand that kind of applause from the people. One of the most conspicuous figures in two wars, governor of his state, and the best consul general ever. sent to Cuba, he has left heritage for his children in his good name that any man may envy. Whatever he did 
 he did with all his might, and he died working too hard for the success of the Jamestown exposition, of which he was the directing head

SHOT AT TARGET
 STRUCK HIS WIFE

Hartford, May 9.-Mrs Ernest Brink of Olmstead street, East Hartrord, was accidentally shot by her husband yesterday afternoon and her condition Is serious.
 Mir Brink, who is an engineer on the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, was in workshop in the rear of B. c. Dimock's house, which is near Mir Brink's. They were shooting a p caliber rife at target south of the building, firing through an open win dow. In the east side of the workshop is workbench, in front of which is q long window. MT Brink, after a num- Der of shots with the rifle, walked over to the bench and said he thought he would try 32 caliber Colt revolver which was lying on the bench.
 Mrs Brink was just entering the rear door of her house when the revolver was discharged, the bullet striking Mrs Brink in the back, just above the hips. She fell to the ground and her husband, with the assistance of MT DimOck, carried her to the house. Dr Thomas s. O'Connell was called and found that the bullet had entered the back above the hip and had struck a corset steel, changing its course down ward where it lodged below the stom- ach. MT Brink also called Dr B. J. and he, with Dr O'Connell made more thorough examination but were unable to locate the bullet, al though they probed for 1t.
 Last evening Mrs Brink's condition was considered serious.

TUESDAY, MAY g, 1905.

Secretary Shaw and Senator Hans
 brough have been carrying on a lively
 correspondence regarding the secre-
 tary's recent order allowing the mil
 lers to import Canadian wheat, mix it with American wheat, grind the mix ture into flour and secure rebate on
 the tariff on such portions of the for eign wheat as they choose to allege is contained in the exported article From the correspondence, taken in connection with the testimony of rail road men given before the senate com mittee on interstate commerce, we learn some interesting facts CD. MT Shaw says the millers make only 5 cents barrel on four. The railway men say the railways lose money on long hauls. If these statements be true no one profits materially by the of wheat because the profit is not enough to repay the mil lers and the railroads are out of pock- ct hauling the flour to the seaboard. The only person who can profit is the Canadian farmer, who secures an in creased demand for his wheat, and the foreign consumer whom the philan- thropic millers and railways supply at a loss. Obviously Secretary Shaw and his railroad friends will have to tell us a more credible tale if they want us to believe their statements. !

English Judges Pensions.

It is considered an essential condi. tion of the English court system that the judges shall be absolutely inde
 pendent financially, that their salaries shall be so large and provision for their future shall upon their retirement be so ample that they need have no monetary anxiety. Since the granting of an annuity of $17,032.75 a year to Sir Francis Jeune there are now eight ex-judges in England who are in re. ceipt of total pensions amounting to $121, ,662.50 a year. +-.-...,.

The crop situation is not entirely
 satisfactory. the planting season being
 somewhat backward, says Banker
 Clews. There is, however. ample time
 for improvement in this respect, and
 the future of the market will unques-
 tionably be very largely influenced by
 the crop outlook until the close of Au- gust. Should the farmers secure an- other prosperous season. added to the long list already credited to their fa-
 vor, the stock market will be quick to appreciate its significance. Next au- tumn we may anticipate more or less anti-railroad and antitrust agitation. which will be intensified by the cleo uons and the early special session of congress; and. while this is too far in advance to have any present effect upon the market. still it is an element which operators for long pull will unquestionably take into their calcu- lations. In all probability no very radical legislation will be put through. but the subjects for discussion are fundamental to financial interests. and will no doubt incite a more or less unsettled feeling until the action of congress is definitely known. We thus have these important influences against the renewal of a bull cam paign at this period. viz: the absence of strong inside support; the liquida- ton of important pools: the fact that many prices are still high: the new strain upon the community of inter- est the distrust caused by the dispute: the uncertain crop situation. and the prospect of disturb ing political agitation next autumn. These are long distance views: at the close the market showed a disposition to rally.

Of all the vices to which young men become slaves idleness is by no means the least. It is vice easily contract ed in. youth and hard to throw off in manhood.

strnnre sinmese Custom.

They have a novel method in Siam
of getting rid of the bodies of paupers
and criminals. In one of the temples
is kept a flock of hundred vultures,
and the bodies, instead of being buried
or burned, are given to them as food.
AS soon as they catch sight of body
the rapacious creatures gather around
it, and it only takes them a minute or
two to pick all the flesh off it.
A repugnant sight it is, but, accord
ing to Siamese physicians, it is an ex-
cellent sanitary measure. The soil of
Siam, they point out, is generally moist
and hence it is much better that bodies
should be treated in this way than re-
placed in the ground, for, if buried,
they would surely prove more or less of
a menace to the public health.
After the vultures have finished their
feast the skeletons are placed in
wooden boxes and burned.
