Private Wars.

OF the many privileges conferred
on the mobiles OF Europe by the
feudal system, none was more jeal-
ously guarded or more frequently
exercised than the right of wagtng
private war. This abuse was car
ried to so great an extent that
not only sovereigns and States en-
gagged in hostilities from interest
OF revenge, but the lesser barons,
and even associations OF trades
men and domestics, sent dehances
to each other, on the most ridicu-
]ous pretences. and in a manner
scarcely credible at the present
day. We find a declaration of war
from a private individual, Henry
Mayenberg, against the Emperor;
another from the Lard Prauenstein
against Frankford, because a
young lady of the city refused to
dance with his uncle another in
1852 from the baker OF the Count
Palatine Louis against the cities
of Auburgh, Ulm. and RothWeLl,
and one in 1877 from COOK OF
Eppenstein, with his scullions,
dairymaids and dishwashers, against
Otho, Count of Solens.

1882 friction arose between
the Washington public and
the Police Department. Objec-
tions to the methods the police
men and detectives used ~ins making
this city a model one were heard.
Dissatisfaction that had been grad
ually developing against the poll
ctes of individual members of the
force gradually began to assume
more formidable proportions. Star
Ting disclosures were promised il
an Investigation was made.
Allegations were made principally
by William p. Wood, formerly chief
of the United States Secret Service,
who was representing John II.

card-monte men, who were in Jail
awaiting a decision on their appeal
against being sent to the peniten-

Step Daughter asked TO
Manage Mothers Home
By MRS. WILSON WOODROW

n FEW weeks ago q household
~ was plunged into sorrow. The
wife, who seems TO have been
the tie that held the family to-
gether, died. And thus, quite apart
from the natural sense of loss and
bereavement, a difficult and per-
picking situation was created for
those left behind.
Wife and husband had both been
previously married and both had
children of their own.@ she a daugh-
ter and he a son, while as a result
of the ptesent union there are four
small children. =
So now group Of people. with
their relationships and half rels-
tionships and lack of relationship,
are gathered under one roof, and.
deprived of that tender, tsctful
hand which formerly smoothed out
their disasreements and adjusted
differences. are facing the question
what to do.
The son of the husband does not
appear to cut any marked figure
in the equation. and may, there
fore, be dismissed from considers

the mother who writes me. signing

She is now a girl OF nineteen,
she says, and consequently must
have been about half grown at the
time of her mothers second mar
riage. But she and her stepfather
have never been able TO agree from
the first There has always been
an antipsthy between them One
gathers that Il was the mothers
influence alone that kept her at
home, and ALSO that she herself Is
a strong. rather outspoken char
acter. The mothers death has left
her practically alone In the wbrid.
the only persons to whom she is
connected by any ties OF blood be-
ing her two little sisters and
brothers.
Now the question that stsres me
in the face she writes. 'is, what
ought to do under the eircum-
stances7 1 am perfectly capable Of
taking care of myself, and were I
to follow my inclination, would
unhesitatingly do so. But what
