"The sad case of Hon. George H.
Bell" who committed suicide after
being liberated from the insane
asylum, has been made much Of by
those ultra conservative newspapers
and writer's who think that after
man is once incarcerated he should be
kept in durance, and treat as settled
the mooted question whether a man
may commit suicide who is not in
sane. The fact is that Bell had
plenty of troubles to cause a sane
man to take his life if he felt that

III front Of a saloon-indeed, it would
have been hard to stand elsewhere,
unless the inside instead Of the out
side of the "doggery" had been
selected-when my attention was at

near. They appeared to be reminded
Of good joke and were looking down
the street.
THAT was a great joke" said one
of the men; and |, being somewhat
on the lookout for great jokes, asked:
What joke was that?'

Old Jasper came up, and the men
began to laugh,
How are your coppers this morn

planning to me asked. "Reckon you d

wouldn t you?"
The old man stopped, took off his
hat, wiped his brow, and answered:
"You boys are privileged to guy
me, I suppose. You thought you'd
played great joke on me, didn't
you?"
"Come on in, old man, and have
something"
"Wait," he said "You boys got
me drunk and thought it was a great
joke. It was surely a very easy joke.

"Oh, what a night I passed! I was
so sick that I couldn't raise my head.

Nearly all night, she answered
with sob.

She had brought cup with her.
All, how we'll she had anticipated my

On the Bedford property, situated
Of unjust laws and enactments pre-
vail. For instance. the dukes estate
includes Russell square; and no one
can build In this square without using
certain kind of brick which Is sup
piled by the duke himself. Another
remarkable provision in the leases
granted by the duke is that all build
ings at the end Of the term become
the property of the ground lord: Thus
a. tenant may put up on the dukes land
a building costing a million doliars;
and at the end of the term of the
lease, the building becomes the DUKES
Just the same as il he had built It
himself. This very convenient method
OF getting someone else to make him

in such a way that today the Duke
of Bedford owns not only practically
all the land or west central London
III the neighborhood OF Coyent Gar
| den, Russell and Bloomsbury squares.
| but also of the houses which have
| como into his possession at the expira-
ton OF his various leases.
What adds greatly to the revenue
| of the Duke OF Bedford is the fact
| that a large number of theaters are
on his property. He charges enor-
| nous ground rents for these struc-
lures. and exercises almost tyrannous
control over them. Several of these
| places have had to shut down owing
| to their inability to pay dividends. tho
rents eating up all the profits.
AS n rule, Londoners take very
| little interest in questions of social
economy; and they would be quite
| content to let the Duke Of Bedford
| enjoy his enormous revenues so long
| as they did not find themselves direct
| Iy affected by his ownership. But.
| the control of Covent Garden market
| by the duke brings the matter home
| to the dinner table of every Lon
| doner; and the dukes tolls on Lon
don fruit and vegetables are an actual
| tax on the pockets of the people. That
Is why the question OF taxing the
| duke on his London property--and
particularly on his revenue from
Covent Garden-has recently become
such a popular measure.
FIELD FOR LOCAL COLOR.
Quite aside from the dukes con-
nection with Covent Garden, the
market itself is one OF the most in
teresting places in London. American
visitors frequently go to the market
as early as 3 o'clock in the morning
to witness the curious scenes there
presented. The market is full of
characters and the market porters
and flower women have often been
depicted by the pens OF artists and
writer's. Dickens. Thaekeray. Charles
Lamb, and in the earlier days, Wash
ington Irving, have all woven chapters
of romance around the market. In
the days of DR.. Johnson, the neighbor-
hood of the market was the center
