 Much that Cover Cleveland says in the current number of the Ladies' Home Journal about woman's mission is quite true, while a great deal that he says of the harInfulness of womens clubs we think he may wish to amend ten or fifteen years hence. It Is un- doubtedly true that many club women do neglect their families to attend their clubs, but it is equally true that if there were no women's clubs on the face Of the earth these women would be forgetful of their home duties Boston Transcript.
 Of course the American ambassador ought to have a house provided for him in London, as is many another for eign capital. and every one of Mir Choate's arguments was good. but there is no imaginable reason why any hundred or thousand or ten thousand American citizens. however wealthy or public spirited. should be expected or even permitted to buy that house and give it to a country that is perfectly well able to buy all the houses in any part of the world that it needs or wants-New York Times.
 To the unbiased observer it looks as if Sheriff Henry H. Peck of Windsor was. to say the least. chicken-hea1ed. He has given that impression ever since Mary Rogers came under his supervis- ion. and the statement made at this time that he is too sensitive to inform. the condemned murderess of the refu- sal of the United States supreme court justice to act in her case. and that he insists that counsel for Mrs Rogers in form her, bears out that impression. It is will for the sheriff to be kindly hearted. and it is his right and privil- ege to personally oppose capital punish ment on principle. but it is his plain duty to come up like a man to the laws requirement of a public officer in this or any other case, or to resign Rutland, Vt, News.

statutes matter of years to merely bring to trial man who was under in- dictment irrespective of how conclu- sive the evidence was. The attorney general referred especially to the case of State Senator George E. Green of New York who was indicted more than two years ago and who is still free awaiting the decision of the supreme court on his habeas corpus suit, which decision cannot be rendered until au- tumn. The attorney general bespoke popular support for his recommenda- tion to congress that statute be enact ed providing that any person indicted for violation of United States statue might be brought immediately to the District of Columbia for trial without any intervening legal proceedings. 1t is to be hoped that such a statute will be enacted next session.

Attornev General Moody has rec

Attorney General Moody has recent iy voiced a plaint against the newspapers of this country because. he says. they want the department Of justice 70 try its cases before the tri- bunal of the press. as he expresses II. h other words, the attorney general maintains that the newspapers insist on knowing and on publishing the dis coyeries and plans of the department before they are revealed in the courts and that in this way the cases of the government are weakened by their revelation in advance to the attorneys for the defense. While there may be some ground for this complaint there seems 10 be little reason why the de partmenr should not refuse 10 reveal information when such revelation would weaken the governments case and the newspapermsn charged with The duty of reporting the work Of the department have never perceivef any reluctance to suppress Information when fl pleased the attorney general to do so.

SHORT OYSTER MEASURES.
| District officials Cause Arrest of Eight
Fish Wharf Merchants.

Eight arrests were made on the oyster
wharf this morning OF persons who are en-
gagged In the oyster business. The arrests
were made at the instance OF George A.
Howe. assistant sealer OF weights and meas
ures, the defendants being charged with
using measures that had not been properly
stamped. The persons placed under arrest
were J. A. Lawrence, Richard w. Chesser,
Frank Twilley, Frederick Wilson and Jack
son Wise, white, and James Dicksrson.
Henry e. Stewart and Joseph Crockett. col.
ored. Chesser and Twiiley claimed that
their measures had been stamped and went
to the Office of Col. Haskell TO make an APP
peal to him. The latter was unable to find
any evidence that their measures had been
stamped. but did find that they were stand
ard measures. 1t was shown by the rec
ords that Chesser had measure stamped
last winter, but no evidence Of the stamp
could be found upon the measure that was
being used on his boat today.
The visit to the oyster wharf this morn
ing on the part OF the assistant sealer was
the result OF complaints having been made
that some of the boatmen had given short
measure. Mr.. Howe made arrests in every
case In which he found boatmen engaged in
business. He said to a Star reporter this
afternoon that in some instances he found
that dirt had accumulated on the bottoms
of the measures to thickness OF about one
inch. and purchasers were therefore de-
prived of the full measure. Such a short
age he realized, could be caused by care
lessness or neglect on part of the persons
using the measures. He required each de-
PENDANT to deposit So collateral for his ap-
pearance in the Police Court Monday.
Two years ago the sealer of weights and
measures made an unsuccessful effort to
have Congress enact a law requiring the
use Of metallic measures with perforated
bottoms. such as are In use in Baltimore.
Such measures easily washed, and 1t Is
almost impossible for the dirt and small
particles of shell 20 form an obstruction
that initiates against the buyer. 1t is the
intention Of Col. Haskell to make another
effort this winter to have Congress enact
such measure. 1t is also his intention 10
have a general oyster law passed by Con-
gress for the purpose of protecting the
oyster beds. Such law Is the statute
books of Maryland, and the result is that
the people of Maryland cities get more of
the larger oysters than are brought to this
city. 1t Is stated that many of the culis
that are not permitted to be sold in Balti-
more are disposed of in this city.

After several days OF practical inactivity
the stock exchange today had taste Of
some OF the old time activity. It came about
through the trading in the common stock Of
tho Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany. Before the call was concluded the
stock sold over q point and half above
the last selling price. which was an.
Today. however. ~ high as 4Sh was paid
for the stock. The approach to that level
was a natural one. as soon as 1t was de-
veloped that there was demand for options
on the stock. Not only was there q de-
nnnd. but It was OF quite general character.
as nearly all the brokers who deal at all
actively on the exchange took some part
IN tho trading, either selling buying
options.
This movement developed early in the
call and 1t was evident there was a feel
ing OF confidence that prices were going to
be better for the stock than the prevailing
ngures. AZ result the options gradually
was from 417S to 42x.
A feature was the buying Of a large block
OF hve hundred shares at six months. and
blocks more than could be satisfied
Naturally the stock for which at first
there seemed rather limited demand
gained In strength, and the bidding
mounted up, and until it reached 4s there
did not appear any decided tendency to
SELL However. on that level quite block
was dislodged. which was taken and the
bid level maintained. The range Of the
selling was from Az to 43h.
1t was rather expected for some reason
that gas stock would show some weakness
on account OF the loss which the company
has suffered owing to the explosion of one
of the holders. This was not. however real
lied to any extent, and 1t seems unreason-
able to suppose that any unfavorable effect
would be produced by such an affair on
the outlook for the stock of such a corpo-
ration.

vailing price for some days past, and then
the bid went of somewhat as well as the
asking price.
There was no rush to sell that was no.
tceabie. and 1t IS imagined that the finances
of the company will bear this estimated
s15e.000 loss without 1t being necessary to
stop the annual dividends or trench too
much on that surplus fund about which
there Is always so much gossip and the at
tempt to distribute which has given the To-
cal financiers and others so much trouble in
times past.
