CITY AFFAllIS.
Under the new' law. passed by the Legislature of 1S93, the Mayor, City Clerk. Treasurer, Marshal and the Couneilmen from each ward hold their olliees for four years. Their terms begin on the first Monday in September following their elections with the exceptions of the Couneilmen. whose terms begin immediately. The appointive officers made by the Council also begin their terms in September and hold four years or until their successors are appoited, but they are subject to removal at any time. The appointment of police ollieers is governed by a city ordinance. Policemen are appointed by the Police Hoard composed of three Couneilmen, whose appointments are confirmed by a vote of the full Council. Iu the matter of the police force There promises to be a lively shaking up. There is no disguising the fact thatthere is great dissatisfaction with the manner in which the laws have been administered, and this dissatisfaction has prevailed no where til a greater extent than among the Mayor and the City Council. This state of affairs is mainly attributable to the divided responsibility between the Mayor and the Police Board. The control of thejpolice force should be placed in the hands of one man. and that man should be the Mayor. The public would then know exactly where to place the responsibility should there be any lax enforcement ot the law. The practical working of the present system is that the policemen are a law unto themselves. What all good citizens demand is a rigid enforcement of the law, and aLl they ask is that the guardians of peace shall be not onlylaw abiding men themselves but shall without fear or favor compel law breakers to suffer the penalties. Less than this will not be satisfactory and neither is it unreasonable to ask it
Tim Richmond [ton. commenting on Congressman lirooksh ire's ilnancial "plan," says: ''There is nothing new or original about this scheme. It is simply undertaking to do by a different method what could not be suecessfully eontinued by the .Sherman law—make a cheap dollar us good as gold. It is buta another "miserable makeshift'at best and its practical effect would be to make money 'tighter than ever. All capitalists and loan companies would do what some of them are now doing—make their loans on a gold basis anil it would not be long until the banks would follow their example, providing gold did not go to a premium in the meantime and go out of circulation entirely. The best 'solution' of the silver problem is to let it severely alone for a while. It is the continued and eternal agitation that makes it such a serious problem—the constant effort to overturn natural law and get something for nothing. The commercial world will some dayrealize that self interest demands the restoration of bimetalism. and then only can we secure it."
A ccohdixo to Mulhall there was 8250,000,000 more silver coined than was mined during the 50years between 1831 and 18H1, and more than 5,000 tons of silver plate, fixtures and ornaments had to be melted down to supply the deficiency. At one time 25 per cent, of the ocean commerce of civilized nations consisted of gold or silver coin interchanges. Xow the commerce in these articles amounts to less than 5 per cent, of the gross trade by sea.

Chaptkk XXVI—Continued.
The awful stillness in the room, the man's moving agitation, his. solemn earnestness and the despairing detcruiinatiou in liis voice showed Mary that the danger which threatened her was real enough, and that if she was to escape her wits must be quick in finding a plan.
After he had spoken the man leant back against the wall, folded his arms across his chest and gloomily looked at the girl. Mary moved away, and by slight and almost imperceptible degrees placed as great a distance as possible between them, watching him all he'time like one watches a dangerous animal.
It was a time of fearsome suspense, but the girl forced herself to keep up her courage and tried to think how she could possibly escape. She ran her eye quickly but stealthily over tho two doors to the room. There was one behind her, but this she felt sure he had locked before he had trapped her in the office. The other he had locked when first he had thrown the mask off his Conduct, but the key remained in the door.
Could she reach it? If she could do that and then get out of the room her chances of ultimate escape in the large rooms of the mill would be much greater.
Hut Oorringe stood right in the path, blocking the way completely, and she could think of no plan to lure him away. He himself removed part of the difficulty. With another deep-drawn sigh he moved from where he stood with his back to the wall, and the sound of the slight movement sent a thrill of cold to Ihe girl's heart.
Then suddenly a plan, fully formed, rushed into her mind. Close behind her were several packets of cotton, and near to it a large bundle of waste. Towards this she moved, as if scared by him and when he opened a drawer of the table and bent over it in search, as Mary supposed, of a weapon, the girl seized some large handfuls of the waste and the cotton and heaped them on the standard gas lamp which lighted the room, thus shattering the globe and extinguishing tho light.
She rushed to the opposite side of the room, and, throwing a coupli) of the packets of cotton where she had been standing, so as to make Reuben Gorringe think she was hiding on that side, she ran quickly and softly to the door from tho side where he would not expect her. To her intense relief she found the key without difficulty and had turned it and opened the door before Gorringe had reached her.
Just as she was rushing out of the room she felt his hand on her arm. But she tore it away from him, and, pulling the door after her with all her strength, crushed his arm and caused the hand to relax its hold. Then she fled rapidly through the next room, which "was the outer and larger office, and sped out into the darkness of the mill.
She had formed a plan in thought namely, to try and make her way to a window overlooking the lane whioh ran along one end of the mill—one of those by which Tom had been accused of breaking into the place. To reach this, however, she would have to pass through along room filled with spinning machines, down a flight of stone steps, through the blowing-room and across one of the smaller weaving sheds which was close to that.
Another plan she had was to rush away to the top of the building and hide where she could till morning came. Her anxiety to get away from the place, however, made her prefer the former.
But the chance of carrying out any definite plan seemed very remote, for the girl heard Reuben Gorringe hurrying after her. She determined to hide, therefore.
She ran on as fast as possible, stopping an instant to tear off her boots with nervous haste, and then with noiseless tread crossed the first of the work-rooms. Remembering that in the second there was a heap of baskets, she rushed to the spot and crouched down beside them.
She could hear Gorringe moving, and once or twice his voice, calling her by name, reached her ear. She could tell by the sound that he was at the far end of the first room and she held her breath to listen for what he was doing and in what direction he was moving.
It was a brilliant night, and tho rays of the full moon flooded through the many windows of the place, bathing the whole iu a white light. But this light made her escape much more perilous, and she was afraid to move lest she should be found.
The latter fear prevailed and finding, after some minutes of absolutely intolerable suspense, that the sounds of (Jorringe's movements came no nearer, she rose and moved as silently as a ghost across the forest of machinery in the direction where she judged Gorringe must be.
Just when she was reaching the division between the two rooms, some weighty thing fell with a huge clattering noise, close to tho spot where she stood. It raised such a clang in the weird stillness of the night that she started violently and could scarce refrain from screaming out. She checked herself with a great effort, and in her panic tried to dart back to her hiding place by the baskets.
She had scarcely moved three paces, however, before 6he heard the rush of footsteps through the room adjoining, and Reuben Gorringe stood by her side with the light of a brilliant lantern turned full upon her white, terrorstricken face. "You cannot escape me." he said. "It is useless to try." lie laid a hand on her arm and held the girl in a firm grasp, and led her back to the office. "What do you wish me to do?" she said, in a faltering tone. "It's too late to think of that now," his voice was sad and low "you gave me your answer. If we cannot live together, at least we can die together. In death you cannot hate me, as in life you cannot love:me." "Do you mean to murder me?" eried the girl. "I could not bear to see you another's wife," he answered, in the same culin, despairing monotone. Then after a moment's pause he flashed out into sudd_en passion. "Bj Ueaven,
the mere thought of it is a hell to me. To know that another would have the right to take you in his arms, to press your heart to his, to shower his kisses upon your cheeks, your hair, your lips, and to feel your caresses answering to his own? By I would kill you a hundred times first! Itut come, it is no time for talk. Come."
He checked the outburst of feeling and led the way in the direction of the office. "Have you no mercy?" asked tho girl when they reached the room, pleading with him. "Will nothing move you?" "Yes, it is mercy that makes me act thus," he answered, with a grim, short laugh. "Mercy for myself—aye. and mercy for you. You cannot be afraid to die. You have wronged no one in the world your life has been full of goodness and kindness. You will but be in Heaven a finger's length beforo your tiuie." "You forget. If I die you will condemn an innocent man to a shameful death, for I alone can prove. Tom's innocence." "That is a curious plea to put to me," answered Gorringe, frowning, "iiut even that is nothing. I will tell you now, he is innocent, and his innocence can be proved without you. You may be easy on that score," he saiil, with a sneer-

One night in a terrible snowstorm a man walked iu a circle till daylight because hethoughtthat he was lost. lie had been tramping all night within a stone's throw of his home.
There is a woman in Philadelphia who lived for years

In a daily circle of suffering, because she thought there was no relief. Iler suffering was caused by female weakness in its worst forms. She had pain in her back and loius, great fatigue from walking, leueorrhrea, local inllammation, and a frequent desire to urinate.
All this time relief was close at hand, and she had only to accept it with the sante faith that has saved thousands of others. Every druggist had it. l.ydiu E. Pinkhum's Vegetable Compound cured her of all weakness and disease, and she is now a different woman. This woman is Mrs. Walter Wilcox, of 7 J0 West Street, who advises all women who suffer so from female weaknesses to try it and be cured.

The Human Electrical Forces!
How They Control the Organs of the Body.
Tho electrical force of the human body, the nerve fluid may bo termed, Is an especially attractive department ot science, as It exerts so marked an Influence on the health oi the organs of the body. Nerve force is produced uy tho brain and conveyed by moans ot the nerves to the various orgHns of the body, thus supplying the latterjwlth tlia vitality necessary to insure tnelr health. Tho pneumogastric nerve, as shown here, may bo said to be the most Important of the entire nerve system, as it supplies tho heart, lungs, stomach, bowels, etc., with tho nervo force necessary to keep them activa and healthy. As will bo seen by the cut the long nervo in baso of the brain and terminating In the bowels is the pneumogastric, while the numerous llt-i tie branches supply the heart, lungs and stom-' ach with necessary vitality. When the Drain becomes In any way disordered by irritability or exhaustion, the nerve force which it supplies Is lessened, and the organs receiving the diminished supply are consequently weakened. l'hj! the li organ itself instead of the cause of the* trouble
