SUPREME COURT 15EVER3ES THE

MC»!EE VS. MCGEE CASE.

On Tuesday, among twenty opin-

ions handed down by t h e supreme

coi^rt, were two, McGee vs. McGee

and Walker vs. McGee, in which the

action of the lower court was reversed.

Th is has been a luiig drawn out

and hard fought case hud victory resta

with Attorneya fitathcwsou and

Walker.

A t the Ada pioneer meeting last

summer, Mr. ^a thewson sdid that he

had tried aimost all kinds of business

except preaching and ho didn' t know

but he might try that yet . Follow-

ing him, W m . Alden Smith said he

wished that Mr. Mathewson would

drop lawing and go to preaching, for

then the Grand Rapid# lawyers would

win more cases. I t looks very much

as if Mr. Smith kucw what he was

ta lking about.

The Grand Rapids Democrat says: The eases of McGee vs. McGee and Jacob Walker, administrator, vs. Mc-Gee, just reversed by the su-preme court, involves the sdis-position of some 570,000 worth of property in Verg-ennes town-ship. Barnev McGee, a weal-thy farmer of this township, •raye deeds covering- about S+5,-000 of this amount of property to his wife and son Richard, ofiying- nothing; to two other sons and very small amounts to his three other children. T h e deeds were not put on record, and after the death of Barney McGee, John McGee, one of the sons, the day before his father 's death, got possession of the deeds to Richard and kept them, claiming they were void throug-h lack of delivery. Suit was brought before Judge Ad-sit in the chancery end of the circuit by Richard agfainst John McGee for the purpose of com-pelling him to give up the deeds and about the same time Jacob Walker, administrator of Mc-Gee's estate, broug-ht an in-junction .^uit ag"ainst Mrs. Mc-Gee to prevent her selling* or incumbering- the property she assumed tf» hold by these dee^s, the validity of which was de-nied, both by reason of non-de-livery and the mental incapac-ity of Barney McGee it the time t'jiey were made. , Judg"e Adsit lield the deeds valid in both cases, which were then ta-ken to the supreme court, and have now been reversed.

Oliver Trumble died at his residence

in t^fli village, Tuesday; J u n e 4ih> at

7 o'clock p. in., after six years of

patient suffering f rom paralysis, a t the

advanced age of 73 years. Funeta l

services were held a t the residence on

Thursday, Rev. Mr. 01d6eld of Cedar

Springs, officiating.

Mr. Trumble was born in Grotoli,

Tompkins county, N. Y., in 1822,

came to Michigan in the year 1870,

and has lived in Lowell for the last 20

years.

A t the semi-annual meeting held

June 4, the iipworth League elected

the following officers: Pres., Myrtie

Taylor; 1st. vice pres. department of

Christian work, Harvey Coons; 2ud.

vice pres. department of mercy and

help, Estel la McDiarmid; 3rd. vice

pres'. literary department, Lula Ha-

fer; 4th. vice pres. depUrtment of so-

cial work, Dan Bush; sec.. Will Clark;

treas., Effie Pot ter ; orgauist, Mrs J .

B. Yeiter; chorister, Mabel Moors.

The League is in a prosperous con-

dition, numbering about GO members.

Dur ing the past year it hag given sub-

atantial aid in the work of re-model-

ing the M. E . church, and also ear-

nest spirittnll support during the soul

refreshing season of meetings held

Quring the early inohths of the pres-

bqt year. The prevail ing sentiment

seems to be a desire lo exemplify the

notable words of Bishop Simpson:

"We^live to make oi i r rhurcl l a power

for good and to love all others that

exalt oiir Christ ." Con.

OCT A MOVE ON.

Balding claims to have added to

her industries a shoe factory to employ

from 100 to 200 hand?, and Belding

is doing something of this sort pretty

much all the time. As a result Beld-

ing is booming. Now ffhat is Lowell

getting, and what can it get without

rolling up its sleeves and doing some

work. A man who stands around

with his mouth open waiting fur meut

and potatoes to drop into it is pretty

apt to calch nothing but Hies. So

with a town that docs nothing hnt

talk. If Lowell is to get to the front

with other live hustling towns of the

state, slie must improve her oppor-

tunities.

NOT O N E O F T H E STARCHY KIND.

He was a tall, lean farmer, with a

kind, jovial face that told of n warm

heak under the calico shirt . He wore

blue overalls, and the average dude

might possibly and probably would

stick u p his nose at the homely old

man. Could t h a t same dude have

stood by, however, and seen the old

man pull out a great, fat pocket book

and disclose roll after roll i f Vs

and Xs in search of a dollar bill, he

would have opened his eyes, for even

a.dudn appreciates the power of monoy.

Tlie old man has earned his wealth by

hard knocks and any man who envies

him its possesion is an anarchist at

heart and a fool by natmv. Long

live the jolly old farmer. May his

R:-ce be a long one and ho not the hist

of his Race.

Sirs. Eyre did not take a trip but will

NB DAT WHILW ,8 h a m g a r . t h e ITartner, was plow-ing with a yoke of oxen, his command oi' whoa - haw - gee was chanfred to the •hout of battle. Philistines, always ready to make trou-ble, march up with sword and spear. Bhamgar, the plow-

man, had no sword, and would not prol»-abjy have known how to wield it If he had possessed one. But fight he must, or go down under the stroke of the Phil-istines. He had an ox-goad—a weapon used to urge on the lasy team; a weap-on about eight feet long, with a sharp iron a t one end to puncture the beast, wid a wide Iron chisel, or shovel, a t the other end with which to scrape the clumps of soli from the plowshare. Yet with the Iron prong at one end of the ox-goad and the Iron scraper at the other. It was not such a weapon as one Ju.U. . ? e B l r e t 0 u " e , n b a t t , ® " " h arn'ed Fhlllstlnes. But Qod helped the farmer, and leaving the oxen to look af ter themselves, he charged upon the In-vaders of his homestead. Some of the commentaries, to make It easier for Bhangar, suggest that perhaps he led a regiment of farmers Into the combat, ox-goad up and down, and this way and But the Lord does not need any ot you to help In making the Scriptures, and Bhamgar, with the Lord on his side, was mightier than six hundred Philistines with the Lord against them. The hattle opened. Shrmgar, with muscle strength-

| ened by oj en air, and plowman'*, and | reaper's, nnd thresher's toll, uses the only weapon a t hand, and he swings the ox-gond npand down, and this way and that ; now stabbing with the iron prong a t f>ne « n d of It, a n d n o w t h r u s t i n g will, i ' o iron scraper at the other, and now 1 ringing down the whole weight of the Inetrument upon the heads of the enemy. The Philistines are In a panic, and the supernatnural forces come In, and a blow that would not under other elmimstnnces have prostrated or slain, left Its victim lifeless; until when Bham-gar walked over the field, he counted one hundred dead, two hundred dead, three hundred dead, four hundred dead, Ave hundred dead, six hundred deod— all the work done by an ox-goad with an Iron prong at one end and an Iron shovel at Hie other The fame o! this achievement by this farmer with an awkward weapon of war. spread abroad, and Honlred him. until he was hoisted Into thf highest place of power, and became the third of Vie mighty juilges of Israel, do you see that CInclnnatus was not the or.Iy man lifted from plow to throne.

For what reason was this unprerc-dapfe^ and unparalleled victory of a farmer's^ ox-goad put Into this Bible, where th^re was no spare room for the unimportant and the trivial?

It was, first of all, to teach you, and to teach me, and to teach all past ages since then, and to teach all ages to come, that In the war.fOr God, and against sin, we ought to put to the best use the weapon we happen to have on hand. Why did not Bhamgar wait until he could get a war charger, with neck arched and back caparisoned, and nostrils sniffing the battle a fa r off, or until he could get war equipment, cr could drill a regiment, and wheeling them into line, command them forward to the charge? To wait for :hat would have been defeat and annihilation. Bo he takes the best weapon he oould lay hold of, and that Is an ox-goad. We are called Into the battle for the r ight and against wrong, and many of us have not Just the kind of weapon we would pre-fer. I t may not be a sword of a rgument I t may not be the spear of sharp,thru8t-ing wit. It may not be the oattering-ram of denunciation. But there '.s some-thing we can do, and some forces we can wield. Do not wait for what you have n o t but use what you have. Per-haps you have not eloquence, but you have a smile. Well, a smile of encour-agement has changed the behavior of tens of thousands of wanderers, and brought them back to Qod, and en-throned them In heaven. Tou cannot make a persuasive appeal, but you can •et an example, and a good example has saved more souls than you could count In a year. If you counted all the time. Tou cannot give ten thousand dol-lars, but you can give as much as the widow of the Gospel, whose two mites, the smallest coins of the Hebrews, were bestowed In such a spirit as to make | her more famous than all the contribu-tions that ever endowed all the hospliils and universities of all Christendom, of all time. You have very limited vouib-ulary, but you can say "yes" or "no." and a firm "yes" or an emphatic ••no," has traversed the centuriaa, and will traverse all eternity, with good Influ-ence. You may not have the courage to confront a large assemblage but you can tell a Sunday school class of two— a boy and a girl—h6w to iflnd Chr is t and one of them may become a Wil-liam Carey, to start Influences that will redeem India, and the Other a Florence Nlahtlngale, who will Illumine hi t t le-flelds covered with the dying and the drad.

Again my subject springs upon us the thought that In calculating the pros-pects of religious attempt, we must take omnipotence, and omniscience, and omnlprenence, and all the other atl butea of God Into the calculation.

fully told on earth—perhaps some day may be set apar t for the rehearsal, while all heaven listens—the story of how Qod blessed awkward and humble Instrumentalities. Many an evangelist has come Into a town given up to worldllncss. The pastors say to the evan gelist: "We are glad you have come, but it is a hard field and we feel sorry for you. The members of our churches play progressive cuohre, and go to the theater, and bet at the horse races, and gaiety and fashion have taken posses-sion of the town. We have advertised your meetings, but are not very hope-ful. Qod bless you." This evangelist takes hla place on platform or pulpit. He never graduated a t college, and there are before him twenty graduates of the best universities. He never took ono lesson In elocution, and there are before him twenty trained orators.Many of the ladles present are graduates of tho highest female seminaries, and one slip in grammar or one mispronuncia-tion will result In suppresiied giggle. Amid the general chill that pervades the house, the unpretending evangelist opens his Bible and takes for bis text: "Lord, tha t my eyes may be opened." Opera glasses In the gallery curiously scrutinize the speaker. He tells In a plain way the story of the blind man, tells two or three touching anecdotes and the general chill gives way before a strange warmth. A classical hearer who took the first honor at Yale, and who Is a prince of proprieties, finds his spectacles becoming dim with a moist-ure suggestive of tears. A wprldly mother who has been bringing up her sons and daughters In utter godless-ness, puts her handkerchief to her eyes and begins to weep. Highly educated men who came to criticize and pick to pieces, and find fault, bow on their gold-headed canes. What is that sound from under the gal-lery? I t is a sob, and sobs are catching; and all along the wall, and all up and down the audience there Is deep emotion, so that when a t the close of the service anxious souls are Invited to especial seats, or the Inquiry room, they come up by scores, and kneel and re-pen t and rise up pardoned; the whole town is shaken, and places of evil amusement are sparsely attended, and rum holes lose their patrons, and the churches are thronged, and the whole community Is cleansed, and elevated, and rejoiced. What power did the evan-gelist bring to bear to capture that town for righteousness? Not one bril-liant epigram did he utter. Not one graceful gesture did he make. Not one rhetorical climax did he pile up. But there was something about him that people had not taken In the estimate when they prophesied the failure of that work. They had not taken Into calculation the omnipotence of the Holy Ghost. It was not the flash of a Damascus blade. I t was God, be-fore and behind, and all around the ox-goad. When people say that crime will triumph', and the world will never be converted because of the seeming In-sufficiency of the means employed, they I count the six hundred armed Phllls- j tines on one Bide, and Bhamgar, the farmer, awkwardly equipped, on the other side; not realizing that the cha-riots of God are twenty thousand, and

i that all heaven, cherubic, seraphic, archangellc. Deiflc. Is on what otherwise would be the weak side. Napoleon, the author of the saying. "God Is on the side of the heaviest artillery," lived to find out his mistake; for at Waterloo the one hundred and sixty guns of the English overcame the two hundred and fifty guns of the French. God is on the side of the right, and one man in the right will eventually be found stronger than six hundred men In the wrong. In all estimates of any kind of Christian work, do not make the mis-take every day made of leaving out the Head of the Universe.

Again, my subject springs upon us the thought that in God's service It Is best to use weapons that are particu-larly suited to us. Bhamgar had, like many of us. been brought up on a farm. | He knew nothing about Javelins, and j bucklers, and helmets, and breastplates and greaves of brass and catapults, and balllstae, and Iron scythes fastened to the axles of chariots. But he was fa-miliar with the flail of the threshing floor, and knew how to pound with that; and the ax of the woods, and knew how to hew with that ; and the oxgoad of the plowman, and knew how to thrust with that. And you and I will do best to use those means that we can best handle; those weapons with which we can make the most execution. Some in God's service will do best with the pen; some with the voice; some by extem-poraneous speech for they have the whole vocabulary of the English language half way between their brain and tongue; and others will do best with manuscript spread out before them. Some will serve God by the plow, raising wheat and corn and giv-ing liberally of what they sell to church-es and missions; some as merchants, and out of their profits will dedicate a tenth to tho Lord; some aa physicians, prescribing for the world's ailments; and some aa attorneys, defending in-nocence, and obtaining rights that oth-erwise wovM not be recognised: and some as helping bridge the seaa;

I and some as teachers and pastors. The kingdom of God Is dreadfully retarded by so many of us attempting to do that which we cannot do; reaching up for broadsword or falchion, or bayonet or sclmeter, or Enfield rifle or Palxhan's gun, while we ought to be content with an ox-goad.

A SNAKE THIEF.

How • Reptile Stole the Milk from m Pine Jersey Cow.

W. L. Hewey, living up In the Cross Lake country, has a fine Jersey cow, which usually keeps the family sup-plied with an abundance of milk, says a Bhreveport (La.) paper. On Monday last Hewey noticed a falling off in tho milk supply and for every day there-after there has been a steady diminu-tion. Thinking tha t perhaps the pas-turagd did not furnish sufllcieut nour-ishment for the cow, Hewey began to give her an extra quantity of food a t night, but in vain. Every evening she returned to the pen with an empty bag. At last Hewey came to the conclusion that some negro in the neighborhood must be in the habit of milking the cow before she left tho pasture; so he set about discovering the guilty party. Yesterday his investigations wero re- I warded, tho thief proving to be a singu-lar one, indeed. I n the middle ot the afternoon Hewey went into tho pas-ture, taking his stand behind a big oak tree whence he could keep an eye on the cow without being himself ob-

, served. For a long time there seemed no chance of solving the mystery, as no-

I one appeared in the pasture. Finally Hewey was about to give up the search as a bad job, and drive the cow to t h s pen, when he saw a big black-and-white-pied snake glide out from the thicket behind him and make its way across the pasture to the Jersey. Fol-lowing af ter as rapidly as he could, what was h is astonishment to behold the snake wrap itself around the Jer-sey's hind legs, holding them hard and f a s t and then grasp hold of the bag, sucking away a t the teats l ike a hun-gry calf. Hewey is a new man to this section, and this singular conduct on the par t of a reptile surprised him be-yond measure. Since consulting with his neighbors, however, he has ascer-tained tha t the snake, called a "cow-sucker," is a very common variety, causing much loss among cattle-raisers and milk men in th is section.

The Letters of Kraimna The letters of Erasmus are a rich

mine ful l of materials for the study o( the sixteenth century in many aspects and not only in its religious controver-sies. We have an insight into courtly, social and literary life. The paid tutor in the prince's house had now become a regular institution. We see the value of a dedication to a wealthy patron. We have a vivid picture of what travel-ing must have been, the difficulty o( procuring carriages, the slow pace by horseback, the wretched taverns.

| Gold Monometaliists appeal to the law of supply and demand as the oon-oiusive argument against bimetalllflm, and i y none but "fools" are in favor of such an usiscientlflo statement as that law can create value, even by makihg an imperious demand for an article. When men are without argu-ments opponents are rflways "fools." Our constltutitfn provides, however, that the government of the United States alone has the power to decide what shall be moner, and all govern-ments that have made any history worthy of imitation have exercised tha t power, and hi doing so have made ;

the most persistent and powerful de-mand tha t could possibly be made for the use of both the precious metals aa money for oenturiee.

This demand (created by the law) es-tablishes the value, and that demand for its eonstant use createe the condi-tions of stability. Intrinsic value, in

J i ts la«t analysis, is the coat of produo-tion in labor, and goverameate have al-ways taken this element of value into careful oonsideration in seleoting both goM and silver at a fiaed ratio for money use, and yet aayone at all con-versant with gold and silver mining Is aware ot the fact tha t the eost of silver, la labor, has always been more than gold a t 16H to 1. But law having fixed tha t ratio as a legal tender for all pur-poses ot exchange (which is really sci-entific), gave us the combined volume ot both metals as the one stable stand-ard of measurement for all exchanges ot property. Silver, before U was dis-carded, was the dearer of the two, and the supply of both has never been suf-ficient to meet the demands upon them tor money uses. Who, then, are the fools and who are the knaves, with such a oonditon of thiags, in asking any government to repeal the written and unwritten law of nations, which had worked out nothing but the beat results in trade and ooamerce for cen-turies, and thus strike more than one-half the money of the world out of ex-istence and then claim that there is no demand for silver, because, forsooth, i ts overproduction bad destroyed Its value, and In the teeth of such a law of their own making, which destroyed the one overmastering demand for it?

Was evor brazen-faced ignorance or duplicity more brassy than in charg-ing bimetalllsts with folly in maintain-ing that the geometry and geology of finance and trade relations, established by ages of prosperous experience, are not scientific, when the -exact reverse has been proved in practice? Who are the broad and who are the narrow? Who are the tbeoretloal and who are the practical—those who claim that $3,600,000,000 in gold alone or those who claim tha t $8,000,000,000 in both metals will by common legal consent best serve the world as the money basis ot i ts immense and ever-growing com-merce"

I t would seem to me tha t these ques-tions need no sdentiflc university pro-fessor to answer them so completely as they answer themselves, and yet I claim that the majority of such writers on political economy on both sides of the Atlantic dare not challenge the practicability of bimetallism, nor its utility either, as the best solution of all the difficulties which legal uud world-wide gold (so-called solentlflc) monometallism has engendered; even If we had no history to enforce the propositon with its unanswerable ar-guments.

London is today the financial clear-ing-house of the world. Will anyone claim that her bankers have had an easy time with this altered law of sup-ply and demand, since silver could not play its usual par t in effecting ex-changes? IL so, why have the govern-ors of the Bank of England, for the last two decades, a t least, been advo-cates ot international bimetallism? They certainly are in positon to know why they held such opinions when the Rothschild class opposed i t England's representatives a t tue monetary con- i ferences were all In favor ot it for other countries; even the Rothschild class (believing that with such support it would only fall), because the unearned Increment of their gold securities was netting them more than the annual in-t e r e s t Reason enough, surely, to have the supply and demand kept so tha t t h e ; would be thus served. Who Axes the demand and^be supply when silver Is legally rulefl a a t of the equation of exchanges? Government or the laws ot trade? Will our scientlflc quill-drivers give us some lucid arguments on this question and let poor "Coin" and his "school'1 res t for a few weeks a t least? He must be tired, as well as some of us laymen, over fruitless theoretical and scientific statements, without solid facts to sustain them. If the learned inquisition which some Journals have sclentificaly set up to immolate silver on the a l tar of England's selfishness and greed will fairly discuss such real and burning questions ^ would give a fair verdict, instead of>ft<e assumed tolly e t impossible bimeuLlllsm, they would, In search of anfcuments on both, Instead of one sldef of the ques-tion, become sensibly bimetalllsts simply by taking a coutM of the lead-ing textbook*, on the/question Instead ot condemnIng\a ex te rn which they have superflcla the headings of th( as "The Silver Cra Dollar," and the 1

In 1897 and 1846 "s tuag ta l l " money held undisputed swsy in the United Stales; ef government money—gold and sliver—there was neoe In sight; state banks—ths best as well as the poorest—had suspended specie pay-ments aad universal baqhruptcy was rampant. Who could pay debts when there was no legal-tender money to be had except by barter? This smallpox w u s In trade made'the prices of silver and commodities; silver, ot course, commanded a premium over gold, but what about pork, wheat, and corn, three of the farmers' articles taken for scientlflc comparison by our Mpatorial committee? Corn was used for fuel as cheaper than coal or wood, and pork was hauled to eastern markets over 100 ml es and sold for |1.50 a hundred weight and wheat for 46 cents a bushel (I did it myself a few years before). The middle ages in prices had come to America for the want of real money, and this Is the time that our senate and their defenders in demonetizing sliver have taken in comparing prices of silver and commodities with those of 1894.

In Allison's history of Europe we learned that In the reign of Augustus the value of the coined metals in the Roman empire of gold was, in cur money, $1,900,000,000, and. that in the reign of Justinian It dimlnishel to about $400,000,000, or nearly four-fifths, Allison's opinion was that the Kl . of that empire was caused more by this contraction of the currency than by all other agencies.

Before the ninth century the value of the available stock of the precious metals was reduced to $160,000,000, and at the close of the fifteenth century it did not exceed $200,000,000, and Allison, in describing this period, painta the condition of the working c laves as so low that extrication seemed hopeless.

In 1646 the Potest silver mines were discovered and Its effects noticed as tol- . lows: "The supply of precious metals was trebled, the prices of the species of produce quadrupled, tho weight of debt and taxes woie off under the infiuence of that prodigious Increase; in the renovations of industry the relit lons ot society were changed, the weight ot feudalism wis cast off, the r ights ot man established." In 1816 England, against a strong petition portraying vividly the effects of a contraction ot the currency, went to a gold standard.

AHIsop gives the result in England ot tbie action thus: "The effects of this COL traction of the currency were soon apparent and they rendered the next three years a period of ceaseieas suf-fering in the British islands. Prices declined In general within six montLa to half their former amount and re-mained at that low level for three y a r s . Dlatress was universal In the latter months of 1819. Mr. Baring ssid in the house if commons: 'What we are now witnessing is the exact con-verse of what occurred over the whole world from the discovery of the mioea of Mexico and Peru . ' "

Passing on to the panic of 1837 (when I waa a boy) Allison writes thus: "With the steady contraction of the currency by the Bank of England, which began In 1836. prices fell during the whole of the ensuing winter, but as prices of all •orts of manufacturers' produce had previously sunk nearly half (when sll-ver was discarded), manufacturers were under the necessity of lowering wages. which induced strikes in nearly all branches of Industry."

The discovery of gold in California and Australia now suddenly expanded the currency and relieved the unive distress' which Allison thus d e s c r i b ^

The era of contracted currency consequent low prices and general ery, interrupted by occasional gl of prosperity, was a t an end, a same time decisive evidence w forded that all this sudden prosperity was the result of panded currency."

"Not a soul escaped?" "Jus t one. The seas were a-fiyin* In

"And you never learned the name ot t h e ship, nor where she came f rom."

"No. The boats came ashore com-pletely smashed to pieces, and not a soul waa le f t to tell a thing except you and you were a baby. T h e excitement o' findln' you made u s forget everything. We rowed r ight ashore, lest you should die before we could get you to mother. Nobody thought ot anything 'cept the girl baby found In the cabin.

"Except the broken name-board." "Yes. Tha t was a l l I t was found

For a tew moments not a word was aaid. She had heard the story nwny ilmea before. Never before had It made such an Impression on her. But f o r th is old man she was wi thout a name or parents. Who was she? Where waa she born? And where was her father—her mother? Were they living? fihe could not th ink t h a t her mother coald have been In t h e ship. She would not have abandoned ' her . 6baf would have stayed on the wreck to die v i th her. Then the ship 's captain— jead and silent forever—was he her fa ther? She could not th ink t h a t Be would not have le f t her on the wreck t o die alone, even it only an i n f a n t A t least h e must have known her mother or something about her. And he was dead—like the poor unknown ahip with the broken name—-oilent for-

ever. Now she was to take wi th love a new

aame. Could she take it? Yes. Love accepts love unasking, unthinking.

T o t The old man seemed to guess her

" I t ' s no mat ter now, father . Sam does no t care."

"No, Sam does not care. He loves you, and I guess he's contented. 1 be, so long as you stay near me."

Then they fell Into silence fo r a few momenta. T h e old man waa twice tempted to speak, but did n o t There was more to tell,—something h e had never mentioned to any one, except to his dead wife, and she had asked him to keep i t always a secret, and he had promised her.

"Mother was r i g h t " he said in his h e a r t • ' I t would break the gir l ' s heart If she knew I t I t ' s best she should never know."

"And the buoy marks the spot, f a the r?"

"Yes, deary. Governm't pu t the two-fathoms buoy just six fa thoms east by south ot the place where the ship went down."

T h a t n igh t there came In from the sea one of those series of long myster-ious rollers tha t h in t of storms far off on the open ocean. The stars sparkled and quivered as if anxious to speak, and the vast sha f t of l ight f rom the tower searches round and round the horizon, but found nothing. And the buoy moaned and moaned to itself in the dark,—moaned for the dead secret of th-3 sea.

Mademoiselle Louise Rochet burst upon the hotel a t breakfast the next morning In a new and more bewilder-ing costume. Breakfast cakes were neglected and coffee grow cold tha t feminine eyes might mark, examine, and mentally digest Its minutes t de-tails. The breakfast-room had not been closed an hour before the natural result appeared. There was a timid knock a t Mademoiselle's door, and the maid opened to a young girl.

"Could I see Mademoiselle Rochet?" Mademoiselle would see the young

miss. With some diffidence the girl made her errand known. Was this the Mademoiselle Louise Rochot of Fif th avenue—late of Paris? Yes. Was there any service Mademoiselle could offer? Yes. Mother, tha t Is, Mrs. Van Houton, had a robe. There was to bo a hop that night a t the hotel. Could Mademoiselle examine i t with perhaps a view to its Improvement?

Mademoiselle seemed to th ink for an instant. Should she continue her character ot fashionable New York dressmaker or play the lady of leisure? Which would be the best character. In which to appear when she met him? She thought of his pride, bu t only to smile In a curious way at the though t He had cared nothing for her feelings; why should she con-sider his? Besides, business* brought modey, and brought it more easily and abundantly than she had ever dreamed In the davs of her poverty In Paris.

With scarcely a perceptible hesi-tation she said, sweetly, " I shall re-ceive Madane Van Houton with pleasure."

"Our room is No. 65, th is floor, and thank you kindly, mademoiselle. Mother will be greatly pleased, I 'm sure." I

No man has yet been able to under- I s tand the process of reasoning by which the feminine mind reaches cer-tain results. Mile. Rochet had not been seen except a t supper and break-f a s t and ye t It was known to more than half the people In the house tha t a certain valuable order ot mind had arrived. The born dress-maksr had appeared. The genius for drap-ing had shed Its beneficent l ight upon them. The masculine mind fal ls back on the safe proposition t h a t as the waist is gored so is tho skirt in-clined—and stops. T h e feminine mind knows better and goes farther. Drap-ing Is a mystery, a matter only for lanperior minds. Within another hour the peasant maid a t M'lle Rochet's door had four times Informed anxious inquirers t h a t M'lle Rochct was en-gaged a t room 65. Thi ther the p*1

grims went to see, admire and discuss. Mrs.- Van Houton h a d secured the prize, bu t was willing tha t fr iends should wltnfess her success. 1

Mademoiselle gazed thoughtfully a t robes, suggested, lightly touchcd the fabrics here and thore, and it was done. Genius when really great rarely works wi th i ts hands in this fine ar t . I t suggests, and other and perhaps lower minds buy materials, direct the hands in needle-work, and wear the result wi th conscious pride. In twenty minutes Mrs. Van Houton's robes had | been pasted upon, and Mademoiselle, 1

with a mental note ot thd valtieof her services, was led away to see other robes. As she examined and com-mented on dress, she measured women. She soon faund jus t wh'at she wanted, —a society f o m a n ^rith an unruly member. I n thjr. lady's dress, M 'lle Bochet jfoo^d much to ad-mire. She pBlte ly declined fur-ther orders.

to do tho work. This was, Indeed, un-expected condescension, and my lady of No. 306 was proud, flattered, happy,

1 and talkative. The door w m closed to all visitors, and genius and Its pat ron sat down together over the momenUms affair. Seven distinct headaches a t once derelopcd in the hotel, and their poor owners declared they would not not be well enough to at tend the hop that night.

"Mademoiselle had many patrons I'mong society ladles in New York?"

"Yes, very many, the wives of Sen-ators, Judges, and o thers . "

"Indeedl Not the wife of Judge Danellla or Judge Chote?"

"No. There was one, perhaps ma-dame may know her:Madame Gearing."

"Ohi you mean Judge Gearing, ot the Superior c o u r t She was a Ro-chelle, married a Mr. Yardstlckle, and he died. Uhe must be past forty now, but well preserved."

" I designed two habi ts tor he r . " "And I dare say they were not b a d . " " I assure Msdame they were mag-

nificent. Madamb the Judge 's wife, Mrs. Gearing vou call her, was greatly pleased—charmed. Madame may have observed her habi ts ."

"Well, no. I 'm not very well ac-quainted with Mrs. Oearlng. My MUly has met her son."

"Has she a son? He must still be an i n f a n t "

"No. I t was by |her first husband. Mllly admires h im very much. He's lived abroad some time, studied In Paris, was ra ther wild there, bu t ot course Is quite reformed now."

"Will Mademoiselle the daughter permit me to examine her regies? I t Is possible I suggest something."

"MUly? Oh, Mlily's young. She only came out this spring, and her things don' t ms t te r down here. There 's nobody here of any conse-quence. We shall receive th is fa l l ior her, and then. If Mademoiselle can de-sign a dress for her, we shall be glad."

"Americans are so strange. W h a t l s i t to come out?"

"Milly's a debutante. She Is now a young lady, and can receive calls from young gentlemen."

"The Judge 's son call on her and she so youngl"

"Well, no: I couldn't permit t h a t Of course here a t the beach young people mustmeet in a social way . "

"Then the son of the Judge Is not what you cajl attentive to the daugh-ter?"

"You're mistaken about tha t . Young Mr. Royal Yardstickio is not the sua of Judge Gearing. He is the son of the Judge 's wife. She hasn ' t anything, but of course the young man will come in for a share of the Judge 's wealth. As for his at tentions to Milly, we couldn't allow i t - ra t any rate not till Mllly is older, and not unless she waa very anxious to marry him."

Mademoiseilo seemed to find some-thing deeply interesting In the robe she held upon her lap. ' There were hard lines about her handsome mouth

"Oh, It 's not a t al l for him. I t I thought ho was seriously attentive, Milly would not leave her room to-n igh t We oould hardly approve of any at tent ions just now, af ter the young man has lost his heart over some commonplace creature a t the l i g h t "

LECTURES ON H O R S E M A N S H I P .

A Uaefnl Book for Eqneetraint by Biding-Master Von Olllmano.

"I l lustrated Lectures on Horseman-ship" is the ti t le of a valuable little book writ ten bv Mr. Ernst Carl von Glllmann. The lectures were originally delivered last seascn a t a series of meetings of the writers pupils and others interested in equestrian exercise.

Mr. Von Glllmann, who is a well-kbown riding master in this city, re-cently wrote for the Sunday World an article on the subject "Shall Women Ride Horseback Astride?" which at-tracted much at tention. The most re-markable feature of it was a number of let ters from prominent physicians, all strongly advocating the man's sad-dle for women. These le t ters are re-printed in the present, book.

The writer begins with a "General History of the Horse," in which there is much curious information. This is followed by a lecture on the. English thoroughbred. '

The anatomy and muscular svatem of the horse are carefully explained with the aid Of Illustrations. The la t ter throughout t h e book are very effective, both as regards the horse itself and the position of t h e rider.

Some of the other subjects treated are the saddle, the bridle, the practical par t ot the a r t of riding, bareback rid-ing, mounting and dismounting, guid-ance, horse training, lateral gaits, etc.

The lecture which Mr. Glllmann de-votes to woman's riding, and in which ho explains with much caro how to rise properly in the side saddle, will be found particularly useful. The book Is

Kblished by W. H. B. Creagh, No. 1655 oadway, New York City.

SPELLING REFORM.

"We note by our exchanges an

awakening ofeducatora to the neglect

of the study of spelling in coiuinon

schools throughout the country and to

the need of reform in that regard.

I t is all r ight for h igh school stud-

ents to know a little botany, a bi t of

geometry, and to get a few ideas in

geology and chemistry, bu t when a

high school graduate spelis it "Thures-

day ," u whea ther , ""proba l ly f ", ' un t i l I , "

etc., and when even the graduat ing

essay is spelled in n manner to make

Josh Billings turn green with envy, it

is time to enquire whether the modern

school'system might not bo profited

•by a re turn to some of the methods

tha t prevailed iu the little old red

school house.

If a certain young lady of our ac-

quaintance had spent a little less time

on the " laws of fulling bodies,"—which

she couldn ' t remember a year, to save

he r neck—?he might now be able a t

least to spell the days of the week cor-

rectly. As i t is, she will go on spelling

i t " W e n s d a y " tho rest of her natural

life.

I t is interesting to note the follow-

in formation from an exchange:

" A state spelling contcst is to be held in Lansing in the near future. Those t ak ing par t therein will b e the winners in the county contesu. I t is t o be hoped tha t these spelling con-tests will become a regular feature of school work , as there is need of im-provement in tha t direction. The

of the system is for the pri-^ s j l m i c h o o l s to hold spelling contests; ^ ^ H M M O r s in these attend the county

c u h M b i k I the victors here going to t b e lover nnd

Vpatron of pjsteni ehonld hail wilh del ight tnra j ^ W u (

' t h e good old fashioned spelling matcbi a s it will prove an incent ive fo r all scholars to excell in this impor tan t s t u d y .

would save the fool killer, a t: ip to

St. Johns. • * •

N o w and then a reader of some

newspaper finding something therein

tha t does not agree with his ideas,

gives vent to something like this:

"Yes , the blnnkety, blank sheet has

been bought up by the gold syndi-

cate," or some other cqualy br ight

remark. Tho editor of the Saranac

Local having recently published a

"History of Coinage," has since listen-

ed to remarks like tho above. Broth-1

Lowell is now getting credit for be-ing the safest peach locality in Michi-iran. Here is an item from the De-

| t m i i F r e e Press: | " W h i l e reports from all over tho state show that froit is badly injured, the crop in the section of Lowell is not only uninjured, but the growth is so vigorous tha t it will necessitate a gen-erous thinnincr. C H . Green, who has an orchard only four years old, has a tree one of whose limbs, th i r ty inches long, has forty-two well ad-vanced sound peaches on it.

N o t i c k . — T h e rules in regard to sprinkling must be observed. They permit sprinkling from 6 to 8 a. m., and 5 to 8 p. m. nnd the water will be turned off all persons (excepting those minsr metered mater , ) detected violat-ing this rule.

An hour before daylight Dick Pur-vis nudged tho nintc, aud awakened Ititu from a iltful sleep.

" W h a t ' s the matter, DlckP" "Something bad, sir. I 'll whisper

It to you; we'd host mako no alarm yet Thn wUlallo is loose." "Grea t God, how van that b o ? " tho

mate exelaimed. " I shackled him myself, and have scon him every two hours since. Where is ho?"

" 1 ottly know ho is gone, sir, with the chain nnloeked that fastened him to tho ring In the floor. I suspect he's hiding somewhere in the forehold."

"He must have had help." "Surely, sir." "Well, the devil Is aboard this ship,

and iu> mistake. I hate to disturb the old man, but ho must know i t . "

Tlv! startling mtelligence was com-mnnleatod to tho Captain, nnd it ban-ished all further sleep till sunrise. Tito mate look the wheel, nnd Crawford and Purvis watched with the Captain; but he said little. Tho threatening events of tho last few hours were mak-ing an impression upon him which it wa^ idle to t ry to shako off; he made no answer to the reassuring words ad-dressed to him, but remained suuk iu deep thought.

The hour still lacked something of dawn. Tho moon was dull in the West, and the stars wero paling. There was

to be, I verily bellove. You are marked for life, not death. No man can do the tilings that you have done, without having what I should call a finn grip on cristencc.

Slowly and superbly the great ronnd oon rose over the southern seas uud urod down a flood of light on Uie do waste of waters. No land was

in sight; the Onban mountains sunk below the horizon, and tlie

nearest low land of the Bahamas was j fur to the northward. The wind held 1

steady, veering now moro to tho south-*-«rd, so that the bark held easily on hor coume, whlrh, was now northeast •fcy .north. A gentle swell agitated tho surface of the sea. For thirty rods •stern the foaming track of tho vessel coul.l be seen. A solitary sail far to

enstward, visible ut suiiftet had fiuled from s ight Tho constclla-i came out, hardly dimmed by the

ar of tlie moon, and shone with atness unknown in higher laU-

do with tho Cubans or tho stowaway*; now they're all chcek-b-jowl together, chattering Spanish. The stowaways can't talk it ; but I believe such ras-cftlly-looking chaps as they are can be made to undorstund villainy in any language."

"Have you seen Mr. Hunter?'" "Yes, sir—ho was near the forward

ladder a few minutes ago. Thore he is now."

Tito Captain Jumped np and started toward tho tigure that had jus t appeared from amidships. Tho figure receded as ho advanced. With a loud aud per-emptory "Heave to, there!" he rushed forward aud caught the man by the

arm. "Louts, ic this youP" The face,turned silently to him in tho

moonlight showed him that i t was us ho said.

"Now what do you mean by evading me in this fashion? What in the deuce is the maltei with you? Don' t yon see that I 've got a turbulent aud mutinous crew aboard, uud that I want ail the friendly help I can get?"

"You've got something else aboard tha t seems to interest you mightily," sneered Louis. "You've got an es-cfiped filibuster; and I suppose you don' t mean to come into Cuban waters again, af ter what has happened."

"I ' l l take no inslrnetions f rom you nor any man about what course I shall pursue toward a bravo cotintryman, hunted by the minions of Spain."

" I never supposed you would; so al-low me to bid you good-night"

"Louis, listen to reason. Henry Crawford is a man whoso acquaintance would honor any of us. I want you to see and talk with h im."

"Excuse mo. I 'm not very particular about my associates, as I believe you have told me several times; but I h a r e never taken them f rom political refu-gees."

Chptain Willis tried hard to suppress his anger. l ie well understood that Louis was trying to auger him, so that he would abruptly end Ute conversa-

tion. " Jus t tell me what your conduct

Tho Captain walked for-ward with Crawford, saw that tho watch were awake, and that tlio look-out was a t his pos t and stopped a mo-ment to observe the men. A silence fell upon them as they saw him.

"Where's that big mulatto?" he abruptly asked. "Can any of you tell me?"

There were several head-shakes, and two or throe negatives in Spanish.

"May bo jump overboard," one of tho negroes growled.

"Hiding, likely," ono of the vagrants ventured.

"Now mark mo, mon!" the Captain said. "You know what manner of

groes are always desperate. What they need is to feel the strong hand on them. They hadn' t heard from me for several hours, and I thought i t time to show myself to them again."

He slopped and leaned against tho long-boat His companion was s i lent

"Another day of this suspense and vigilance, and we'll make port again and rid ourselves of these pests."

" Ihope so, sir ." The Captain ssid nothing for a mo-

tious?" " I don ' t know that I am." He ad-

ded, with a laugh: "1 suppose I 'm not enough of a sailor for t h a t "

"You say that in jest; hot there's truth iu i t Now look a t me. You see what I am; you know me pretty wel l You wouldn't take me for a man likely lo give way lo presenUmenls?"

His words were so solemn that Craw-ford could a t f i i f t make no reply.

"He w a s a very p rofane man , and Whenever any of t h e boys got wea ry on a march they would say : 'Let ' s go back and hea r Humphrey swear. ' In march Ing over mountains It Is very of ten nec-eaaary to climb down Inclines"which a re almost a sheer drop, and a t such places the soldier will sit down between the forelegs of his horse and they slide down together,

"The gun outfit, a lways being In the rear, would generally find such places worn about as smooth as glass when they came up, and Humphrey ' s pro-fan i ty then w a s something terrible, I remember one very amusing Incident connected with an affa i r of t h a t s o r t The Incline was almost a sheer preci-pice, leading th i r ty feet below Into the canon. When Humphrey came up, of course, all the di r t waa worn off, leav-ing only the slippery side of the rock.

"He sa t down and swore long and loudly, but Anally got up and ordered the outfi t over. The sergennt, a colored man named McElroy, was abou t to let the gun and the two mules go over by themselves, when H u m p h r e y yelled: 'Hold on there, blank, blank, etc,, go over with them and report."

"So over they all went, and a f t e r hear ing a b ig splash In the canon be-low, followed by silence, Humphrey Balled out :

'McElroy, a re you killed?' '>blg sp lu t te r ing was heard below,

and jke t ty soon McElroy's voice came up : 'NO, sah; Ise not killed,'

" 'Where 's t he mule? ' •* 'He's klckln* on top o* de heap, hah.' " "Well, Where's t he wheel mule?" •* "He's under the off mule, sah, ' T s the gun all r ight? ' M Teg . s a h ; d a t ' s under de wheel

H e took them good-humoredly, and once said to her mother ;

" I had no Idea t ha t Miss Sabrina w a s so wi t ty ."

'When a m a n Is In love with a wom-an, she can ' t do any th ing wrong," Mrs, Fa i r said one night, as Sabrlna lay a t her side In t h e darkness. "And when he Is n o t she can ' t do any th ing r i g h t "

Mrs. Fa i r was too forlorn to deny the t ru th .

" I apprecia te you, Mr. Oaks," she said.

"Mother was almost s ta rv ing ," she said. "She's been sick, and there w a s no money. Tha t ' s my only excuse."

" W h y didn' t you come to tho fence and tell me to bring over wha t she wanted?" said Oaks. "The Idea of your mother want ing anyth ing I had plenty of!"

I t occurred to Sabr lna t o look haughty, but she could not manage I t The tears fell f a s te r t han ever. Oaks drew an Immaculately clean handker-chief f r o m his pocket aud wiped t h e m away.

Sabrlna was not aware tha t he was quoting f rom the "Lord of Burleigh"; but the speech was pre t ty nnd she al-lowed the young man to put his a r m about her waist.

Tomorrow I am coming over to ask your mother when I can have you both.

Then he kissed her, picked up his burdens, and led the way under tbe fence, Sabrlna following meekly. . .

When Oaks had gone away, leaving the baskets on the kitchen floor, she stood looking a f t e r him until she heard he r mother call ing downstairs :

"I 've been to take a moonlight walk, mamma," Sabr lna replied.
