KOYAL BAKINO TOWDKH NEW YORK. lease, with the scars of the recent christening painfully apparent, found it impossible to prefer a charge agaiust her spouse, and in court begged the Judge to release him, affirming proudly that she had never complained before, and implying that he was an affectionnte husband betimes.

Uninfluenced by the abject creature's pleadings, the Court refused to release him, and held him in bail for trial. Truly the ways of women are past finding out. It is difficult to believe that there could be any illusions left in such a case or any sentiment. It is not always the contemplation of the removal of the bread winner which actuates the exhibition of mercy, for nine times out of ten the woman fills that role herself. Fear of the revenge, which inevitably would be visited upon her with compound interest may be a factor, but the law ought to be wide reaching enough to forestall such a revenge.

Of course there are as many outward demonstrations of affection as there are individuals, but these bizarre illustrations ought to be vigorously repressed, and the recipient educated to more conventional and less ingenious methods. The plaint of the swain to fits muscular ln-namorata, "I do not complain that you dissemble your love, but why did you kick me down-stairs must find an echo among the class of women whose husbands are given to vagaries in expressing their affections. The possession of a sense of humor or a sense of justice on the woman's part would be a strong element in reducing the frequency of these occasions. Possibly a society may yet be formed which will have for its object the planting and cultivating of these qualities among the class of women whose husbands belong to the wife-beating fraternity. If the "new woman" can effectively help the shall we say "old woman to combat and eradicate these playful and grotesque exhibitions of affection, humanity will hail the "new woman" with acclamations.

THE NEW CUSTOM HOUSE. Among the bills which died a natural death with the expiration of the Fifty-fourth Congress were the bills introduced by Congressman Lemuel E. Quigg and Senator Murphy, to provide for the erection of a new Custom House building in New York on the site of the present edifice. It is fortunate that these bills died so easily. They were in a fair way of passage, and it might have been matter of some difficulty to defeat them.

But the project ought to be defeated. The New York Produce Kxchsnge has prepared a memorial setting forth the reasons why the new Custom House should be built at Bowling Green and not on the site of the old edifice. The reasons set forth are strong and convincing. The property needed for the Bowling Green site could be obtained for half the value of the present site and it would contain twice the nrea. The property is more accessible for public uses, and its purchase would avert the necessity for the leasing of temporaary quarters, while the new Custom House was in process of construction.

These are all cogent reasons against the proposition contained iu the Quigg bill, but every citizen who has to transact business in the Custom House can easily reinforce them by other arguments equally strong and convincing. It is to be hoped that the Fifty-fifth Congress will give more attentive heed to the almost unanimous demand of the New York merchants than its predecessors did, and that a bill will bo passed authorizing the erection of a new Custom House on the Bowling Green site. There is a general disposition to attribute acquittal of Davis Furriu, the alleged firebug, to a sentimental sympathy with the daughter who stood by him so loyally. The more natural theory, and it explains other, cases of the same is the reluctance of the average jury to convict anybody on the testimony of such wretches ss those convicted criminals from Sing Sing who were the chief witnesses' for the prosecution. The prosecuting officers are not to blame for availing themselves of all the evidence they can get, but the jury is not likely to attach much weight to such testimony.

The European crisis still continues in the' acute stage, but the Powers have not yet made up their minds what they should do with Greece, and the prospects of a peaceable solution of the problem appear to be brightening. But the danger is not past. Mrs. Edward Stillwell, of Brooklyn, Is spending a few days with her mother, Mrs. Gilbert Raynor.

WILLOW WARE. WOUNDED BY POLICEMAN. They Were Chasing a Burglar and Shoot ing as They Ran Fired Two Shots Into a Man Who was Walking By The Burglar Shot, Too. CHICAGO, March 11. Bullets fired by polic officers nd Plnkorton watchman in pursuit of a burglar struck.

Albert Zlemer, a merchant, and he Is now at the County Hospital In a dying condition. The shooting took place shortly after midnight this morning In Plymouth p-ace, opposite the Great Northern Hotel, where Zlemer was a guest. He had loft the hotel at 12 o'clock for a short stroll be fore retiring. Ho walked about SOO feet south In Plymouth place, and was re, turning to the hotel when a thief, pur. sued by several policemen and Plnkerton watchmen dashed past him.

Five or six Bhots were tired at the fleeing burglar by the officers In pursuit, and Zlemer was in range of the bullets. Two of the leaden missiles struck Mr. Zlemer, and he fell to tha ground mortally wounded. An hour after this exciting Incident In rjymouth place a policeman found the body of a man propped up against the old Marshall Fields wholesale house. Madison and Market streets.

A bullet had drilled a hole In his abdomen. In his pocket was found a letter addressed to Stack, 109 Franklin street." It Is supposed that the dead man was one of the burglars who -were chased by tha police and was wounded by an officer. The burglar who dashed past Zlemer at Jackson street and Plymouth p'ace was caught. He gave the name of Otto Relmann. THE TIMES AT THE SHOW.

An Interested Throng Filled the Booth All Day Yesterday. Again yesterday afternoon there was an avalanche of entbusiastio school children at the Brooklyn Cycle Show, and, as upon previous days, they centred at the Times booth, eager to see the picture exhibit and clamorous for souvenirs. Draperies and floor covers suffered and railings bent and trembled, but all went away happy, carrying Times souvenirs with them. In the evening a more sedate but equally interested company of people filled the Times booth to overflowing, and expressions of pleasure at the exposition of newspaper art were plentiful. A large delegation of newspaper n.en from the two cities visited the Times booth and later a number of school teachers camefwho were particularly interested and added to their stoi of knowledge through the medium of the Times series of drawings, plates and etchings, illustrating the method of producing newspaper pictures.

As previously announced, at 0 o'clock in the evening the Times made its flashlight picture of a group of visitors, which it prints to day. The excellence of the Times exhibit was the talk of all visitors at the Cycle Show lust evening. a PH0TERE0NB READING CLUB. Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson Gives the Members a Bright, Breezy Talk.

Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson addressed the members of the Photereone Reading Club and its guests, the members of the Motley Club, at the borne of Miss Hawley on Hancock street, yesterday afternoon. The subject of Mrs. Stetson's talk was, "What We Need to Know To-day. The great revolutionizing sociological changes which have recurred in the world, themein onuses of the discontent which were instrumental in the birth of revolutions, and the results of the ohanges were touched upon.

Questions of social economics affecting the present period were stated dispassionately and commented upon, the range including the relations of capital and labor, the trades union movement, the servant question, the club movement among women, larger phases of the problems of domestic economy and some of the evils which menace the existing social structure, were cleverly sutrgested. Mrs. Stetson has a marked fluency Of speech and an engaging vivacity she expresses herself in a breezy original fashion, punctuating her talk with asides that are picturesquely colloquial ond unconventional. Sbe is frank in expressing her views, but equally candid in not asking her bearers to accept her views. Later in the afternoon Mrs.

Stetson read two ef her poems by special request, the whimsical bit' A Conservative was received with laughter and applause. The club colors, yellow and white, developed in jonquils and white tulips, were used in the table decorations and lent a delightful spring-time suggestion. An interesting feature of tbe programme of the afternoon was the singing of Mrs. Brighaoi. A Tour to Washington at Exceedingly Low Rates.

Washington is to-day the handsomest city In America, and undoubtedly one of the most beautiful capitals In the world. That grand monumental building, the Capitoi, has no counterpart. The new Congressional Library, with Its statues, Its has reliefs, and ita marble halls. Is a veritable palace. The great monument.

555 feet high, is the loftiest memorial shaft In the world, and the National Museum has the reputation of being the moat perfect In des gn for the purpose of any in existence. In point of Interest It is second only to the famous British Museum, or London. The three-dajr tours of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company are ar-ranged to cover all these polnu of Interest, and many more. The tour of the city Is made under the personal escort of an exper enced tourist agent, and every facility Is afforded for a complete visit. The next tour of the present series will leave New York and Philadelphia March 11.

Round-trip tickets. Including hotel accommodations and every nect-aeary expense, will be sold at rate of J14.60 from New York, 111.50 from Philadelphia, and at proportionate rates from other stations.

The Times is disposed to think that the Importance of this question Is exaggerated, and that, Intense as publlo sentiment is on the subject, it will not have a determining Influence on the municipal But the people of these cities will watch the course of the Legislature on this matter with keen Interest.

THB BUCHANAN TRIAL. The case of Mrs. Margaret P. Buchanan, who sued to recover 50,000 from Mrs. Kate M.

Foster for alienating the affections of her late husband, Dr. Alexander Buchanan, ended to-day, when the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff with damages to the full amount claimed. When the case for the prosecution closed yesterday, the counsel for the defendant declined to, call any witnesses, and resied his case on the weakness of the case for the prosecution. It was risky policy, but perhaps Col. James, who conducted Mrs.

Foster's case, did not dure to trust his chief witness to the tender mercies of a cross-examination. Whntevcr his purpose was, his failure to call witnesses will probably be cited as one of the reasons why a new trial should be granted. The case is a peculiar one. Nominally a suit for the recovery of damages for the alienation of affectum, it was in reality a suit for the restitution of property which Dr. Buchanan, under the influence of Infatuation, had given to the widow Foster, to the detriment of his family.

In such a case, the sympathies of the public and of the jury are naturally with the abandoned and deserted wife, but there were features in this case which made it extraordinary and created some doubt as to the result until the jury had rendered its verdict. There was nothing in the ease to excite sym pathy for Mis. Foster, who appears to have been a mere adventuress of a type all too common, but, on the other hand, the revelations of the home of Dr. Buchanan which were made on the trial were such as to excite sympathy for the unfortunate doctor and to mitigate the blame resting upon him for the deser tion of his wife for the society of a more congenial rival. Dr.

Buchanan and bis wife were both Scotch, and raised in one of the strictest of the Presbyterian sects, the Reformed Presbyterians. Their domestic life was framed on the most austere lines. No novels, no Sunday newspapers, no cards, were permitted to pass the sacred portals of that house, and when Dr. Buchanan, gradually yielding to the more liberal influences of his surroundings, begun to develop a taste for Sunday driving, his dame asserted herself and promptly locked the stable door and kept the key. Mrs.

Buchanan appears to have been decidedly of the strong-minded order, one who was bound to rule within her own house, and when her husband developed a taste for frivolous amusomeuts, she endeavored to counteract the malign influences at work on him and to woo him back to the stern delights of Cameroninnism by organizing home prayer meetings, where fervent petitions were offered up for the reclamation of the backsliding doctor. And the doctor actually whistled The fascinating widow should be made to disgorge, most people will agree on that point. But there was some excuse for the wickednjess of Dr. Buchanan. THE WOES OF LOADER-.

There are probably those in Brooklyn even yet who, remembering the events of twenty-three years ago, 6aid to themselves yesterday, when they read the sorrowful story of Joseph Loader Though the mills of God g-rind slowly, yet they grind Toeodl.fe'Lj' small. Though with patience Ho stands walUng, with exactness guides: he all. It was the fate of all the witnesses in the Beecher trial, no matter for what side they appeared, to excito bitter personal enmities, and Mr. Loader, who was one of them, was no exception to the rule. But his enemies have seen the desire of their souls and they are satisfied; retribution has come upon Joseph Loader for all the sins, if any, he ever committed.

There Is something infinitely pathetic iu the complaint of the old man. He lived respectable and respected, as he snys, until ho reached the years of indiscretion. For thirty-four years he lived in Brooklyn and worked hard every day, raising a family of six children, all of whom have done credit to their bringing-up. But, when he was approaching his seventieth year, he was "left to himself," as the old theologians used to say of those from whom the protecting grace and guidance of Providence was withdrawn; he imagined he was young again; he "sought and yearned for female society, for a young wife; in fact, for several." He got married to the particular young wife for whom he yearned, and ever since he has been sitting on the stool of repentance. His money is all gone, and he stands in contempt for his neglect to pay alimony and counsel fees.

The doleful experience of Joseph Loader will not have been acquired In vain if it teaches other frisky and amarous septuagenarians that they are not so young as they used to be, and that it is a hazardous experiment to woo and wed a young bride. But his experience will do no good in that respect. Mr. Loader's lesson is a lesson that all old fools have to learn for themselves. WOMKN'S WAYS.

Hysterical forebodings as to the deplorable effects of the so-called "new woman" movement are irresistibly humorous, when certain manifestations of the eternal feminine are thrust upon the notice. As long as the traditional idea of loyalty finds Its demonstration in the spaniel-like quality, which kisses the hand that strikes, there need be no apprehension as to the conservation of the deplorable type which is all too womanly. Balzac' says: "To every woman love is a pretext for suffering an employment for the superabundant forces of her imagination and her nerves," and it is perhaps from this cheerful point of view that one can account for the repeated examples of clemency shown by women under exasperating circumstances. A striking illustration was brought before a New York magistrate recently. A husband, in a fit of anger against his wife, poured boiling fat upon her, and In the scuffle Wihch followed between his sous, "who interfered to save the mother, -she fell across the stove, her clothing caught fire and she was horribly burned.

senator WBAi's rnorosiTiotf. It Is understood that Mr. Edward Lauterbach has a bill ready for presentation In the Legislature providing for the abolition of the present New York Board of Police Commissioners and the appointment of a new Commission, to be named by the Governor. There is no division of sentiment in regard to the demoralizing influence on the police force Df the divisions and discords now exist ing within the Police Commission. The mmissionera hare shown their inabil ity to agree, and there are many who be lieve that the only effective remedy would to wipe out the present Commission altogether.

There is, however, grave and widespread objection to a measure which takes away the appointing power from the elected head of the municipality and vests it in the State authorities. Senator Wray presented a bill in the Senate to-day, which, while it may not be acceptable to those who are in control or the Republican organization, seems to be the best thing possible under the conditions at present existing. It simply gives the Mayor of New York the power to remove any public officer holding office by his appointment. It is a proposition that ought to be engrafted in every charter giving to the Mayor of a city the power of appointment. It is impossible for a new official, compelled to appoint to office many men who are practically unknown to him, to judge whether they will administer the duties of the office to which they may be appointed in manner consistent with his ideas of fitness.

Under the present system he is perfectly 'helpless after he has made the appointment, and yet he is held responsible for their conduct during their whole term of office. The authority which Senator Wray seeks to invest in the Mayor of York is an authority that should be vested in every Mayor who has the power Of appointment. It is not likely that the bill presented by Senator Wray will become a law. But the principle is sound, and it Is bound ultimately to secure recognition. And it would be the part of sound policy to adopt this method of solving the Police Commission puzzle in New York.

THE RAINES LIQUOR LAW. For some time there has existed a very marked difference of opinion between Republicans in the Legislature over the proposed amendment of the Raines Liquor Tax law. Senator Raines himself conducted an investigation in regard to the working of the law in the great cities, and the facts and opinions furnished to his committee sufficed to convince him that the law was being evaded and that amendment was necessary to make the law as stringent in repression of liquor selling as it was intended to be. It is true, as everybody knows who keeps his eyes open, that, except for the high license provision, the law is really more favorable to the saloon-keepers than any excise law that has been on the statute books of New York since the temperance cyclone of 1857 swept the Prior to the passage of the Raines law the saloons were not allowed to, keep open all night, and, although Sunday liquor selling was general, it was illegal, and there was reason for the suspicion that the saloon-keepers had to "square themselves" with the police. Under the operation of the Raines law the (Saloon-keepers are no longer exposed to the danger of being blackmailed, for it ''Is a poor saloon that is not a good enough hotel for the purposes of the act.

Under one pretext or another even the proscribed free lunch has been restored to the great majority of saloons, and the bitter feeling that existed when the Raines law first went into effect and before itJi was known how easily a brewer's dray could be driven through its provisionshas almost wholly subsided. But Senator Raines appears to go upon the theory that a law which is satisfactory to the wicked people of New York, Brooklyn and Buffalo cannot possibly be satisfactory to him, and he proposes to amend the measure so as to make the evasion of Its intent more difficult. The Republican leaders iu New York and Brooklyn have not agreed with him in this matter. They recognize the importance of the election which takes place next November, and they have no desire to play into the hands of Tammany Hall by furnishing grievances to the saloons and the large number of voting citizens whose patronage makes Jthe saloon business profitable, even under the heavy tax required by the Raises law. These have stated very plainly that there la danger In tampering with the excise question this year; that any increased stringency will inevitably drive thousands of Republican vote to the Democratic ticket, and that the Republi-iean.

In their fight for the control of the consolidated city, cannot afford to lose those votes.
