upon letter which it was tried to show had been written by the district attorney to please the desires of the director of the progressives, and it cannot be forgotten that the fullest reliance and greatest confidence was placed In MT. Duell by the colonel, who declared that he had the utmost faith in his sincerity and i--egrity.
 MT. Duell was carried away by the ambition to serve great cause. but he. overstepped the. bounds with the result that MT. Whitman has been left unscathed while the colonel has been pulling into an unjustified at tack upon a worthy candidate and one who should receive the support of every opponent of boss rule MT. Whitman has made 8 record in the offfce which he now holds that dis closes his freedom from entangling alliances. There are few places which are likely to feel the effects of poh- tics more than those which have to do with the fight fors justice and the service rendered by Mr. Whitman forms the best basis for judgment. He deserves an apology from the An anfas club organizer

FAMOUS TRIALS
THE TRIAL oFNeIsss THE PIRATE

During the early part of the past century piracy fiourished quite prom inently on the high seas and it was with great difficulty that it was finally wiped out. One of the most notorious of these pirates was Charles Gibbs, his real name being James D. Jeffers. and his native place Providence, R. I. For a number of years previous to 1881, when he was apprehended. Gibbs startled the world by his bold and atrocious career on the high seas. For long time his crime seemed to defy and baffle all the efforts of pursuit and retrfbutive justice
 The continuation came, however in November, 1880. in which month there sailed from New Orelans for Phila- delphia the brig Vineyard, with Will jam Thornby as captain, William Roberts as mate, and a crew con sisting of Charles Gibbs, John Bnown- rigg, and others. When the Vineyard made it known that there was fifty thousand dollars in specie on board.
 The crew discussed the matter and planned as to how they could secure the money. Finally the resolve was taken that as the master and mate die and make room for younger blood The conspirators agreed to commit the crime of murder and piracy on the night of Nov. 2s. The murder of the master was the agreement to be ao- complished by Gibbs and wansley, and that of the mate by two others. This Is,an was carried out
 The pirates took possession of the vessel. and Wansley, the colored cook busied himself in wiping up the blood that had been spilled on the deck. The money was secured and distributed in equal portions. They then steered g northwesterly course toward Long Is- land. When they were within twenty miles of the coast they took to the boats and the brig was scuttled- Sey- eral of the party were drowned.
 Gibbs. -Wansley, and Brownrigg suc- ceeded in reaching shore. Conscience stricken. .Brownrigg informed the law oS the murder, having himself had no part in its planning or its carving out. Tie other three were aPprehended and the 'dence of their guilt was full and SSnclLslve.s
 Gibbs was arratgned for the murder of Roberts, and Wansley for that oi Thornby. Being found guilty, judge ment in accordance with the law wal pronounced. During the trial the iron visage of Gibbs was occasionally changed by a transient emotion. He had evidently abAhdoned all hope oi escape and sat the greater part of his time with his hands between his knees

STRE ET LINES.

A matter which Is directly before the citizens at the present time is the establishment of street lines in the business section of the city. Such a necessity has often been recognized but has undergone deay after delay, getting little serious consideration ex- cept when the negligence is called to attention by the non-existence of such action. Every now and then property owners and citizens in general are surprised to learn that certain build ings do not come out to property lines and that the owners, contemplating a new building or alterations, are pre- pared to build out into what is now the sidewalk, for the further encum- brance of the already too narrow streets. It is this very question which the common council will consider in an adjourned session tonight concern ing Franklin street where the effort of the past ten years for the proper widening of the street has just reached its final stages
 The fact cannot be lost sight of that such is the property of the owner who has a right to build thereon, but detriment to the street and to the neighboring property should be taken into consideration, while the benefits from leaving existing property lines, where regular, should not be overlook ed.
 The city has the right to establish street lines for the purpose of uni formity. With the idea of carrying out this policy a great number of owners have given to the city such narrow strips of frontage, but its Is painful to think what might be de- manded by property owners should they insist upon building to their lines or collecting entire alteration expenses from the city. It is even worse to think what would be the appearance of our streets with the possible ir- regular lines.

WISE CHANGE oF MIND.

Nothing more detrimental to their interests could have been uttered by the engineers and fremen of the western railroads than their declara- ton that arbitration would not be con- sidered in the adjustment of their de- mands and that the only alternative to the granting of their proposition was a strike. It was against all reasonable consideration of such a matter and particularly surprising because of the spirit which was man ifested
 The reconsideration of their attitude is a sensible step and it is in fact the proper thing to do when they agree to accept the good offices of the fed eral board of conciliation for the ad- justment of the situation. This, of course means that the demands are due to receive a fair consideration and that the unjust accompaniments of a strike are to be avoided. Whatever the demands are, whether reasonable or not. they are bound to get the most impartial judgment when submitted to disinterested people and only justice should be sought in such a matter. Such also means that the public, which is served by the roads. is not going to be made to suffer the loss and inconveniences which a strike must bring.
 ! Whether the time is ripe for the making of such demands is perhaps best understood by the railroad men, but with the fight which is being made for increased rates to meet past grants itsswould appear to be unreasonable, but even such can be determined best by the facts

PATCHWORK.

There is nothing like the old-fash- toned patchwork quilt for use with a four-post bed. Even though the bed be a copy only of the antique, the quit needs to be of the same era, es- pecially if the room is furnished with rag rugs Now and then at fairs and among private customers one finds a woman who knows how to make rag carpets and mats, and there is noth- ing more appropriate for the bedroom floors of the summer cottage.
 Patchwork has periodical revivals, but even then it is never entirely out of fashion. Many women today hoard scraps of silk for this purpose az thei- mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers did before them.
 It is possible to keep pieces of cer- tain colors for certain quilts. thus using blue and white for one room or pink and white for another Ap- pliques cut from lowered cretonnes are charming on dimity bedspreads. In the time of our grandmothers the flowers and leaves hal to be labor iously cut of colored patches, then be fitted together with unfinitesimal stitches. The writer possessed a won derful bedspread of led poppies and green leaves and stems, worked into a border all the way around the spread.
 Squares of patchwork were the first sewing put into the hands of tiny maidens in those days and served as a daily stint" for years to come.

HELPING PRISONERS.

When an opportunity for rendering a most valuable service for the up lift of the fallen and the lending of en- couragement for the mending of evil ways, is sought, it is doubtful if there is any greater or better field for ac- tivity than that of work among the prisoners. This great army of people is not wholly bad and not beyond re- clamation, as is frequently revealed. They have seen the seamy side of life and among them there is always large number whe- need only the proper attention and aid to inspire them to higher things, such as great CT respect for fellowmen, laws and themselves.
 There is no question but what the effort which has been started in New York city to such an end, through find ing work for such discharged prison CTS as are considered worthy of the recommendation of the authorities. will result in a sufficient amount of. good to pay for the undertaking Such is in a measure the purpose of prison aid associations, of which this state has one that is performing valuable ser vice. A great many prisoners can be- come confirmed criminals because of the belief that they cannot live down the past and because of the fact that their prison record often bars them from employment. To such the as- sistance and encouragement which can be given during their incarceration and the help and recommendation which can be extended as they step out into the world again. are sufficient to en- tirely remodel a career which has been badly started. It is a benefit which every prisoner should have presented to him.

THEN and-NOW

Sixty-six years ago today the worlds first Woman Rights Con- vention was held. The scene was the Methodist church at Seneca Falls. N. Y.. and the prime movers were Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. The little country church was crowded to the doors during the two days of the con- vention Some of the country's most notable men were present and cheered when the Declaration of Woman's Rights drawn up along the lines of the Declaration of In- dependence of the American Col onies, was promulgated. The doc- ument set forth the condition of woman at the present time. The feminine speakers pointed out that colleges and high schools are closed to women, man monepolizes the renumerative employments; women are not permitted to speak in public;s married women cannot hold property. are rot entitled to their own earnings, cannot conduct business in their names, cannot make contract or will, or bring suits in court; nor are they con- sidered as competent guardians of their own children, and nowhere in the civilized world is woman per n1itted to have her say in govern ment." The revolt amazed the world and brought ridicule and sarcasm down upon the pioneers.

HALF-BAkED LEGISLATION.

Congress Is being kept in session through the summer for the purpose of taking action upon the anti-tru bills, which bills are being furriedly rebuilt for early and quick action and about which very little is likely to be known if they are passed within the present session
 It is but natural therefore that Sen ator Brandegee should enter protest against the disposal of such vital mat ters in such a nasty manner and that he should term such legislation as half-b baked.
 In state as well as nation it Is. we'll known what the effects of half-baked legislation are, and how important it is that 1t should be avoided at every opportunity. It is desirous that time be not wasted, but there should be sttfficient time given to important measures to know what is being done and what the meaning and effect of it will be- There are reasons to believe that the senator is giving fair warn ing when he says if it was under stood what this dose of health to the poor business man was to be. they would see that their only salvation is toa nip this sort of legislation in the bud, 'to brand it as undemocratic and un-American and tyrannical, and in stead of trying to get this bill amend. ed here and there they would scotcf 1t right at it's birth"
 The time to find out the character of such legislation is when it is ir process of making, and after it i, determined what the proposals are go ing to be there should be sufficient time to understand the purpose and the result. even though it has to g. over until the next session.

THIM BLES,

Thimbles. which are about 230 years old. are supposed to have come origi- nally from Holland where they were called finger hats, or finger hoods. In England the name was changed to thumb bell, because the thimble was worn on the thumb to protect it from the thrust of the needle, not to propel the latter through the cloth.
 The fashion of gold thimbles per sists even today but in the beginning there was none of the comroner met als and 1t was not until several years later that the first lead thimble was made. Silver is still the favored met al. though many slSilIful seamstress prefers a penny aluminium thimble as being lighter and leaving no mark upon the finger.

Today American women theoret- ically have sufficient votes to de- eide who shall be the president of the United States. Ten states have granted full suffrage to their 3,500,- 900 or more women and are now de- batting whether to extend full suf- frage. This question will be decided before the next presidential cleo ton is held. In several of the states women today are filling important civic and state political offices, and are candidates for others. Woman suffrage has become a worldwide movement The subject of woman suffrage has been presented before every national legislatvie body in tho world, with the single eEeep- ton of Turkey. during the past two years. The women of twenty six nations. are handed together in an alliance and are struggling for political recognition in their re- spective countries. In the field of ''remunerative employments," today in the United States there Is one woman to every four men engaged in gainful occupations. Five per cent. of these women are married. and their vacations range from hlacksmiths and roof-sh;nglers to bank presidents, architects and lawyers.

PLATINUM RINGS.

The up-to-date bride is married with a band of platinum, which has taken the place of the band of gold at many fashionable weddings. To the bride who c{erishes tradition the platinum wedding ring is not welcome For generations the ring has been of gold and, to the traditional brides mind, for generations more it should be gold. It is this sort of bride who prefers a solitaire diamond to everything else for an engagement ring.
 In spite of her sentiment for the old and accepted, the platinum ring has advocates among the brides who are seeking change.

 The National guard of today is. in fact. a reserve force for the regular army. Its military efficiency is a matter of concern to the people who have to pay the bills. Few more ef- fective ways for impairing that effi- cieny could be devised than that which links political complexion and appointment to the paid executive force. No man who views that Ma tional guard as anything more than a field for personal sport or profit will advocate or oppose the selection of any officer for the vacant place be- cause of his political a:hations.

 At this trial all of the life story of Gibbs and his piratical ventures were brought out, showing that he had been following this vocation for fifteen years. and 60 many had been the mur- ders that ne had committed that it was impossible to collect. the list Be- sides. he had assisted in the taking of upward of a score of vessels and ap- propriated their contents.
 At the trial Gibbs readily admitted his participation sn the Vineyard mutt fry, revolt and robbery, and in the murder of Thornby. and so impressed was he with the universal detestation and horror which his feinous crimes had excited against him that he often inquired if he would not be murdered in the streets in case he had his lib- erty and was recognized.
 On Friday. April 9. 1881, Gibbs and Wansley, the coiored cook, paid the penalty of their crimes.
