It may be all right for Mrs. Frank Leslie to keep the public in the dark as to her present matrimonial schemes, bat it is very extraordinary. Effobt is being made to repeal the New York law against attempted suicide.

The only effect of such a law Is to stimulate the victim to do a thorough job. The editor of an exchange says he knows some people so exceedingly modest that in speaking of a person's leg they persist in calling it a limb; but the young lady who, in speaking of a certain breed of chickens, called them Brown Liinbhorns is, he thinks, entitled to the cake and whole bakery. The bright, stirring advertising' solicitors who represent the various publications of any city are worth more to the community at large than any other class of citizens. They are brim full of new ideas, bubbling over with hope, and always looking oat for the best interests of their city. Their motto is like that of the Irishman who 6aid: "Never say die till you're dead, boys, and then you cant say it at all." They are the sunshine of trade and one the mainspsiBgs of business.

It is proposed to build a ship canal from Lake Michigan to Lake Erie, or practically from Chicago to Toledo. The expense is estimated 'at $50,000, 000, and such a canal would place Chicago over 500 miles nearer the seaboard by a water route than she Is now. TV ith a ship canal to Toledo, and another to the Mississippi River, Chicago would soon become the commercial center of the United States. In this connection "money talks." The guest ion of practicability is merely the question of raising the necessary funds for the work. Secretary Carlisle's invitation of bids for the new bonds' provides that offerings for gold only hall be made.

Commenting on this fact, the London News says that the stipulation "comes perilously near putting a premium on gold," but adds: "In America they are always going to the verge of trouble with ingenious financial experiments, but they usually pull up in time." There is considerable truth and more than considerable good nature in this remark of John Bull relating to the somewhat eccentric but never absolutely disastrous methods of American governmental financiers. The sad ending of the Howard case has not seriously depressed the fraudulent industry of fabulous English estate clai ms. A Florida newspaper says that "there are several old time residents of Jacksonville who are direct descendants and heirs to an immense estate in England, amounting to somewhere into the hundreds of millions." Tbis is the "Townley estate" fraud, exposed In the cable dispatches from London. In an endeavor to check enterprise in this form of rascality the London Times publishes a report of all chancery cases of unclaimed money, and it appears that no really considerable sum awaits any claimant in any case of the kind.

The use of aluminum has teen restrained by the absence of some such method as discovered by the Cincin'natlan. The process of welding ft after a fashion has been known, but it was unsatisfactory owing to the weakness at the joint, which minimized the strength of the metal. The invention is a valuable one, for it will hasten the day when aluminum can be used in commercial quantities.

The character, the lepgth, the quality, the doctrinal features of Lhomilies have caused trouble in church societies, but it is believed that the number of sermons preached by a pastor to his congregation has cut but little figure in religious discussions. A member of a church. in Qulncy, I1L, has been before the church board to answer to the charge of publicly stating that the pastor of the congregation had "only filteen sermons" that he preached. It is presumable that the statement was intended as a reflection on the pastor. Trips to the "barrel" were too frequent.

The discourses may have been the acme of scriptural research, profound in erudition and sound in doctrine and in logic, but there were not enough of them. By reason of their paucity their scope was cramped, their return engagement too These may have been the causes leading to the charge of "only fifteen sermons." If this be true the minister erred in not increasing his stock to fifty two, one for each week in the year. The parishioner who can carry even the salient points of a homily in his head for a year is certainly endowed with sufficient charity to overlook a repetition. The bill which has been recently drafted to prevent cruelty to animals on board 6hlp is one which every humane person will be glad to see passed. Some such measure should have been enacted long ago and a stop put to the ill treatment of cattle on the ocean.

The extent of this cruelty can hardly be imagined, and no doubt shippers themselves never realized the gTavlty of the situation until their suspicions were aroused by the annual losses detectives were put aboard to look into things. It is surprising that officers of vessels would 60 far forget themselves as to allow men in their employ to bruise, maim and even kill dumb brutes intrusted to their carjL It is high time to call a halt to siicb practices, and if the bill should become a law it should be enforced to the very letter. Nor is this cruelty entirely confined to marine shipments. Packers have often complained of the bru'sed condition of cattle shipped by rail. A brutal man with an uncontrollable temper and a prod pole can do an inestimable amount of damage to an lnoffcnding, defenseless dumb brute.

It is a wonder tbat the humane society doesn't look into these matters a little closer and give some of these heartless cow punchers a taste of the law. The Supreme Court of the United States furnishes interesting instances of active longevity. Justice Blatchford, who died recently, was seventy three years old, and was very active up to the time of his death. Chief Justice Boger K. Taney remained on the bench until he was eighty eight.

lie began an autobiography at the age of seventy seven, but did not finish it. Chief Justice Marshall, who served from 1800 to 1835, was eighty years old when ill health compelled him to leave Washington. He was a delegate to the convention for revising the State convention of Virginia when he was seventy four years old, and it is said that though he did not speak often in the convention, when he did speak he showed that his mind was clear and his reasoning as solid as in his days; Chief Justice who died five years ago, re malned on the Supreme Bench to the last, though" be was. seventy two years old when he died. Justice Strong, who is still living in Washington, retired from the Supreme Bench at the age of seventy two.

Noah H. Swayne, who died in 1881, retired from the Supreme Bench at the age of seventy seven. Only one of the present members of the Supreme Court is more than seventy years old. This one is Justice Field, who is now seventy seven. All of these eminent men did their best judicial work after they had passed their seventieth year.

When abjut eighty1 yards out ide the prisjn he sprang forward a little to shout: "Death to the bourgeoisie; long live anarchy."

Daibler, the executioner, who has received many letters threatening him with death If he executed Vaillant, and who at one time wished to resign his position rather than to put the anarchist to death, appeared paler and more nervous than Vaillant. Within two minutes after the knife fell Vail lant's body was taken to the Ivry cemetery. ROPE IS PLACED BY A WOMAN.

Before a physician could be summoned he bled to death. The farmers near Eiwood have suffered so much from thieves during the last few months that they have organized two thief catching societies, and two bloodhounds have been secured. The trespasses will be tracked down, as the farmers despair of bagging them in any other manner. Oscar Thrall, son of a prominent resident, while returning from church at West Liberty, accompanied by two young women, was instantly killed by being thrown from the buggy. They were racing with other young people.

The girls with him were also badly hurt, one perhaps fatally. At Stipp's Hill, a village seven miles west of Laurel, M. F. George and Steve Dilks quarreled over a shoulder of meat sold to Dilks, which he had failed to pay for. In the affray Dilks drew a dirk knife and stabbed George three times in the left side.

His victim died from the wounds in an hour. Dilks was immediately arrested. The residents of East Wayne and Francis Streets, Fort Wayne, are excited over the discovery of leprosy in a boarding house in that neighborhood. The patient is a Polish Jew named Goldstein, who for several weeks has oeen engaged in a house to house canvass for the sale of notions. He was taken in charge by the health authorities and placed in isolated quarters on the Poor Farm, two miles south of the city.

A tear ago a little 5 year old girl, Cora Heath, was cast upon the world without friends or known relatives by the death of her father. The orphan was adopted by John P. Conrad, who resides in Anderson. The other day word was received by Mr. Conrad that the child had fallen heir to $15,000 by the death of a great grandmother, in New York.

The to the money is unquestioned, and the amount will be turned over at once. Patrick and Edward Toole, two well known toughs of Brazil, got mad at their mother and older brother, Barney, because the latter refused to support them. They procured big knives and swore to kill their mother and bi other. The old lady took refuge in a neighbor's house, but the boys broke down the door and were in the act of assaulting her when Joseph Bodell ran to her assistance. The boys turned on Bodell.

cutting several ugly wounds which will prove fatal. Both boys escaped, but Patrick was captured near Carbon.
