A Pathetic Tragedy.
Almost entirely hidden from the

grim yet pathetic, was being quietly
enacted. Mary NJ. Buxton. the only
legal wife Of John H. Buxton, Jr.,
under the strain of grief and distress
caused by. the public revelation Of
her husbands cupidity and double
dealing, broke down in health. She
proved material witness for the
prosecution against Hagel and West

other words as his mistress.

The first printing in the New World was produced in the City of Mexico, about d540, by John Cromberger, or his assistant, Pahlos. A century passed before the f frst printing press in what is now the United States was set up---in 1638-at Harvard College William Bradford died in New York.

New York, May 22.-Openins Prices were insfgninant at the opening of todays stock market. Such leaders as United States Steel and Reading were unchanged, while Union Pacific and Amalgamated Copper were up and down minor fractions. Chesa- peake & Ohio rose 3-4 on yesterdays s declaration of the regular dividend. and Missouri Pacific inclined to fur ther heayiness.

 N'oon.-Chesapeak & Ohio increased it's gain to over 8 point and American Smelting rose 3-4. but the more active issues recorded scarcely any change, f1uctuating within fractional limits This was especially true of United States Steel, Aanalgamated, Union Pa cif1c and Reading. Missouri Pacific softened with the approach of the time for some definite dec44ration re- garding it's note extension plan and New Haven sold under yesterday.

THE RHODE ISLAND TROLLIEs.

~W~HE INTIMATE connection between finan-
 Q ciers and statesmen is further shown in the testimony of Mellen relative to the pur- chase of the Rhode Island trolleys, which were worth S8, 100000, according to Mellen's own tes- timeny, but were acquired at $20,O0O GOO. It appears that the purchase was not brought to a focus until Nelson W. Aldrich who was for years a stand pat leader of the United States Senate, broached the matter and then the deal was soon consummated.
 Mellens claim that tn property was worth what he paid foriit, is mere buncombe. No trolley property is entitled to earn more than the value of the property used for the public and by no process of jugglery could eight mil lions Become worth twenty millions, for phys. ical vaIuation would irnm ediately establish the amount and value of the property actually used in trans porting the public

DIRECTORS WHO DON'T DIRECT.

gK@HE TESTIMONY given by Charles S. Mel-9
 1 len. concerning his relations with the late J. P Morgan, is an illuminating picture Of the way in which big, corporations are often dominated bYone man.
 Although the head of the New York, New Haven, and Hartford railroad Mr Mellen could not secure any detailed statement Of how Sff ,- d55,O00 was spent in acquiring 8 new line. 9th ser directors of the road were also in the dark. They had entire confidence in MT. Morgan, and .tion.
 Ordinary business life does not contain these spectacular instances Still a great many directors of large corporations take their res ponsibilit lities too ightIy, Their names give con ffdence to the public, when their connection with the corporation may be too perfunctory to add strength to the management. s6 The man who holds directors positions iIl a dozen corporations may be strictly honest ln his relation to each Butt ifthe stockholders get the notion that corporation is getting the full benefit Of his ability, wheni actually gets onIv
 snIaII fraction of his attention, and if he is not permitted to know foo much of it's real work ings, the corporation gets an Endorsement to which it is not entitled.
 Every director should be from Missouri. He owes it to the stockholders end public, to ask a great ma ny uestions. If he perceives a ten dency to deny frank answers, let him take alarm. There are too many ornamental directors. There are too many who having implicit conf dence in the man st the head, are ready to in dorse any report he may make
 A director should be what the title implies, an active not passive force. H should thor ough1y understand the affairs of any corpora ton to which he gives the prestige of his name, and should not take on business positions which he cannot fill in this comprehensive way. : ----1
