tlons, , requiring the highest and the wisest utatesmanshlp. Imagine trusting them for a solution to the crew who wrote that platform and held that convention .at Chicago." . At the conclusion of Mr. Lodge's speech there was another outburst of applause. Then Edward Lauterbaeh spoke briefly, fringing the meeting to a close. HURT HIS OWN CAUSE. ttonclnded from Firwt Vattv.t vote of every man who Iorrows money at the banks, attempts to use his power aa a money loaner and coerce the men who patronize him, then you who are terrorized under that sort of a system have a right . to use the Australian ballot to rid this country of its bondage. And I say to you who are employes, if your employers are so much indebted at the banks that they have not . the power to speak out in their own defense, if their obligations are such that they must keep quiet lest their throats be cut by those polite patriotic financiers, then, my friends, you as em- -' ployes have a right to step in and rescue your employers from financial bondage. "I want you to understand the importance of this controversy, Jt is a question whether the people have a right to govern themselves or whether these great corporations and syndicates and trusts own this government and have a right to use it and plunder everybody else for the enrichment of themselves. In our platform we declare that the government is greater than the trusts. If all of these combinations are able to spend their money to perpetuate their reign, are not the masses of the people willing to give the only thing that they " can contribute to the success of any campaign, namely, their votes when they go to the ballot box?' If the people who puffer are not willing to vote for relief, they must not expect to get relief. But, my friends. I should think that the people who live here would esteem it a great privilege to cast a vote in favor of restoring the government to its rightful position. Where it protects every citizen in the enjoyment of his rirrht without giving any privileges to any class. ' (IneMflon Fired at Ilrynn. At New London, while Mr. Bryan was exploiting his free coinage theories, a man standing near him asked: ' "Where will we be when we get free sil- ' ver?" Mr. Bryan: "Are you in favor of tf gold standard?" The ' I am." Mr. Bryan: ''Tell me why." The Voice: rBecause I believe it is best for the country. Every nation will accept a gold dollar for a dollar." Mr. Bryan;, "Why? I will tell you. Because of its value; the reason why our gold .doMar anoV otr-bullion are worth the same is because the law says that you can convert the bullion into a dollar at the mint." The Voice: "Well, how about silver?" Mr. Bryan: "When the laws are sc. under the free ctinage cf silver the holder of silver bullion can convert his silver into dollars at the mint that will fix a mint price for silver, as we have a mint price for gold now. and our silver dollars will lie worth as much abroad as our gold dollars." A Voice: "People here have the impression that wht'ti the. free coinage of silver Is brought into effect they can take their silver teapots and have them coined into money." Mr. Bryan: "It is true that under free coinage any man can melt up a dollar and a hair worth of spoons and have the silver coined into one dollar and twenty-nine cents If you have a man who is fool enough to do it. Now, why will people refuse to melt up their silver plates? Because it will be worth more as silver than it will be worth as silver dollars under free coinage." Mr. Bryan proceeded with his argument and x added : "I assert that the business man Tlepends for success on the farmer and the laboring man. If you want business men to prosper you cannot make them prosperous by making the money lender prosperous, because business r.ien do not make their money out of those from whom : they borrow. They make their money out of those to whom they sell goods, and if the people cannot buy goods the merchants cannot sell goods, and people cannot buy goods until they have money to buy goods with." A Voice: "Start up the mill." Mr. Bryan: "Suppose you start up the mill; how are you going to dispose of the things which the mills produce unless people can buy the produce of your mills?" Mr. Bryan then proceeded: "Mr. Blaine, in 1878. said that the destruction of silver as money and the establishment of gold as the sole unit of value must have a ruinous effect on all forms of property except those investments which yield a fixed return of money, and these would be enormously enhanced in value and gain a disproportionate and unfair advantage over every other specie of property." (Applause.) A Voice: "Would it not be as hard to change the standard of money In the world as it would be to change the standard of weights and measures in the world?" Mr. Bryan: "I will answer that question by saying that In the tirst place the world has no standard of weights and measures and we have been unable to bring the nations of the world to agree to a standard of weights and measures. In the second '.place, why did not you give that advice in 1S73 you are giving now? They changed our standard of money then and for twenty years they have tried to keep us from i i.ierstanding what they did tnen. Those who deny the right of the people to use the law to . restore silver to Its rightful place are the very ones who helped to pass a hiw twenty-three years ago to destroy the free coinage of silver and substitute a new standard after the nations of the world had tried bimetallism, and after this Nation had tried it from the beginning of the Nation down to that time. I care not what other nations shall do. but I insist that we shall decide what this Nation shall do. Did Austria ask our consent when she resumed specie payment on a gold basis? Did Italy ask our consent when she resumed specie payment on a . gold basis? ; Did the other nations of the V world ask our consent when they changed their standards? No. Then. sir. what man who wants to be an American, wants to fcttt down on his knees and ask other nations' consent when we want to do what" we please? "I have given you. my friends, what might be a sufficient answer. I want to give you a more than sufficient answer. My friend wants to know how that can change the standard of the world. I tell him that Prince Bismarck has stated recently that if the United States acts alone it will lie salutary in bringing other nations to accept our bimetalliie nolicy. If my timid friend doubts the ability of this Nation. 1 beg him to sit at the feet of a foreigner and learn confidence in Arneriean institutions." ' , IN NRAV .1KRSET.

Mr. . Bryan , Speatm In I'nterNOn and Newark nt Mglit. When Mr. Bryan arrived at Paterson. N. J., to-night he found a big crowd assembled to see him. After an effort he finally reached the stand erected on Cott's hill, but just as he was about to begin his address the electric lights suddenly went out and the vast throng was plunged into darkness. Great ; excitement prevailed for a time and the nominee threatened to leave the stand, but while the hubbub was at its height the light was restored, the police relieved the creaking stand of some of Its surplus freight and Mr. Bryan spoke. His speech was largely a repetition of former Utterances. He rlosed with these words: "It is not strange that the heads of all the trusts in the country are opposed to the Chicago tickef, because the Chicago ticket is opposed to all the trusts of the country. Jt Is not strange that the money changers are opposed to the Chicago ticket because the Chicago ticket is opposed to the money changers' policy. It is not strange that the syndicates which grow fat while the people grow lean, are opposed to the Chicago ticket because the success of the Chicago ticket means that those syndicates shall cease to fatten on the ad-v-miea of the people. I believe, my f.emis. that the time has come when we must restore to the people the right to run the government and that we must restore the government to the old policv whereby it guarantees equal rights to a'll and gives privileges to no one. "The gold standard is the standard of the miser. The gold standard makes it more profitable to hoard money than to Invest it. , it is a bad thing for any country to have a financial system which raises the value of a dollar and lowers the value of all proocrty. That If. what we have been having and the people are so- tired of the scarcity of money and the rise in the value of dolrs that they cannot be territied when thev have undertaken to secure a larger amoun t of standard money by adding silver to gold as the money of this Nation." The Paterson speech had to tie curtailed to enable the party to catch the train for Newark, which left the station at S:.J7. A' fife and drum corps accompanied them to the train and there was another big crowd in waiting at the station. More carriages were utilized and a procession was started for Caledonia Hall. where the second speech was delivered. The hall was profusely, decorated with flags and bunting, and innumerable lights Hooded the aisles with' brilliancy. It was nearly 9 o'clock when Mr. Bryan arrived and he was pierented to the audience without further delay, in the course of his address Mr. Bryun said: "Our opponents tell us that we must have a gold wtandard because England has. I aay to you, my friends, that one of the rea

sons why we cannot have a gold standard is because so many nations have adopt-d it that they have raised the value of gold and for us to throw our influence on that side is simply to help to murder others while we commit suicide ourselves. If other nations were going to the silver standard and leaving gold we might then go to the gold 'standard. For our preservation we have got to Join in an effort, if others will join, to restore silver and if foreign nations do not join we have got to restore it ourselves and keep it." Mr. Bryan then defended the bimetallic theory and declared that each day its advocates were becoming more numerous. He continued: "You may tind the man who used to talk for silver now silent because he is in a position where he cannot open his mouth without danger of losing his employment. But. my friends, that is not conversion. Conversion does not act through intimidation. Conversion addresses itself to the heart or to the head. It is not to be terrorized by a rod of iron. My friends, there is nothing omnipotent, but truth will conquer always. They say. our opponents do. that 1 am a dangerous man. My friends, there is no danger in me as an individual. I am like other indiviuals. but a small part of the population of this country, and my friends, is any man dangerous who plants himself upon truth and dares defend that truth? They need not tind fault with me. Whether I go up or down is a matter of little consequence. Whether I live or die is but small moment, but the truths, for which I stand will go marching on forever. "You ask me why I know that bimetallism will succeed: I tell you I have two reasons. The tirst, I believe it is right, and that which is right will finally prevail. But I have another reason. I know that bimetallism will succeed. Its success is as sure as the rising of to-morrow's sun. You ask me how I know? I tell you that the gold standard lessens the opportunity of those who are in distress. We have the poor and distressed on our side, and if we have not a majority now it is only a question of time when we will have if the gold standard continues. "When you can prove to me that the Creator intended mankind to lapse into the dark ages; when you can prove to me that he intended that the few should reap where the many sow; when you can prove to me that He intends that a few shall ride on the backs of those who toil not until then can you prove to me that the people wouli rather have government run by syndicates than run it themselves, you can prove to me that the gold standard will prevail, and not until then. When you can prove to me that the masses of the people prefer to have great trusts monopolize the business of this country, drive the humble business man out of business, then prey upon unprotected society, not until then can you prove to me that the people will vote to sustain the Republican party and support its ticket for a gold standard. "My friends, we are tired, tired, tired of the balloon dollar. It must come down to earth again, if it is going to be used as a medium of exchange. Instead of being a just medium cf deferred payment it is now nothing but a medium of deferred hope. You can have a dollar as dear as you want it. If you want dollars dear make them scarce. If the dollar is not dear enough to-day you can make it dearer, my friends, by making it scarcer." Immediately after closing his speech Mr. Bryan returned to New York, where he hurried to his hotel and retired for the night. During the morrow he will seek needed rest and recruit his voice for the big Tammanv Hall meeting in the evening. At rridn ght he will leave fcr West Virginia, but what his further progress will be from that State has not yet been positively tixed.

Hi ley Ornnnan Hilled Off the Track. NEW YORK, Sept. 2S. The stewards of the Jockey Club held a meeting this afternoon and took severe action against a number of people who have been infringing on the club's rules. Among - other things the stewards did was to rule Riley Grannan off the turf. Jockey Martin was suspended and the suspension may be made parmanent. Dr. A. Burrow was ruled off the courses of all associations racing under the rules of the Jockey Club. Jockey Fred Taral was reprimanded and ordered to refund a present of $500 which he "had received. All entries of W. Wallace will hereafter be refused. In regard to the Grannan case it was resolved that Grannan be warned and ruled off the turf for offering and making presents to jockeys in violation of the rules cf racing. Dr. A. Burrow was ruied off until such time as he shall be willing to answer the stewards of the. Jockey Club all questions respecting the charges of corrupt practice which he had made. According to the evidence submitted to the stewards Jockey Fred Taral received a present of $500 during the season of 1895 in violation of the rules of racing. Owing to Taral's universally accepted good character, the stewards announced he was merely reprimanded and ordered to refund the money, and all jockeys are warned that the penalty for accepting presents wid hereatttr be strictly enforced. R9AZA FORTI WHS GOK. Inheritor! of California Millions Xoiv ii ii Almost Penniless Crowd. Denver Field and Farm. California has long had a reputation as the home of the bonanza king, and a recently-issued document, based on the records of the San Francisco Probate Court, tells an interesting story of the contests and entanglements which have massed about the last testament of many famous millionaires and the final disposition of the vast sums they left behind them. The document gives the history of fifty-three wills, disposing of $175,000,000. About 100 heirs divided the vast sum. and to-day nearly half of that number are penniless again, and only a few have succeeded in adding to their inheritance. The average number of persons provided for in each was ten. though in a number of instances, the most notable of which was the case of Florence Blythe, the entire estates passed into the hands of single heirs. The comparatively small estate of Kate Johnson, which was appraised at $l.s. 250,000. reached more heirs than any other the number on the list being twenty-five' while the $4,000,000 of Thomas Blythe went to the one child. Florence, after a celebrated trial. The estate of Maria Coleman was valueli at $1,757,000, and it went equally to three heirs. Charles Crocker's $29 000 000 reached six persons, while Mary' Ann Crocker's $ll,S--"t.ti57 went share and share alike to four of the six who got Charles Crocker's larger fortune. Peter Donahue's $3,70X.312 went in equal parts to three heirs. Mrs. Theresa Fair's $4,693,250 went to three persons Charles L. Fair, Miss Virginia Fair and Mrs. Charles Oelrichs while William P. Fuller - distributed his $1.771.2C2 to seven persons of his name. Emmanuel Goldstein's $1,000,000 went to six heirs. George Hearst's $S.7S8,137 went in equal parts to his wife and son. while Walter Hobart's $5,273.3; went in thirds to his three children Walter IIobart. Miss Ella Jiobart and Mrs. Wenthrop Lester. Mary Hopkins's $20.fc94.7t)2 went to two persons. Robert C. Johnson's $1,910,550 went to eleven persons in almost equal portions. There are a few exceptions to the general course of estates, as in the case of lack and Stanford. The $5,000 (0o of the L.iek estate went chietly to one he'r and to a number of trusts of a public nature created before James Liek'.s death. Charles McLauerhlin left his $L47ti.OOO to his widow, while Alexander Montgomery's $2.35ti.S45 went to three heirs. Daniel T. Murphy's $2.041, (i70 went to six heirs. William S. O'Brien's S9.G55.450 reached eight persons. James left an even million, which reached four persons in shares nnd a number of small bequests. A. J. Pope's $1.60.000 reached four heirs. Washington Ryer left $t.27J."9S to fifteen persons. La-land Stanford's $17.CSS.319 went to four persons and the trust for the university. . ev 1'Mjjlaiid Conceit. Boston Transcript.

THAT RIOT AT ORESTES

GLASS WORKERS CIIALI.EVGK -MR. OCHILTREE'S STATEMENT. Offer of JKltK If lie Will Prove that the Democratic Parade Was Attacked by Glass Workers. To the Kditor of the Indianapolis Journal: Noticing many false and misleading reports of the attack upon the Orestes Republican Club building and the members of the Window-glass Workers' Association th it were congregated at the building at 2 o'clock p. m. Friday, Sept. 25, in justice to the good citizens of Orestes, Democrats and Republicans, we ask you to give space in your columns to a sworn statement of the facts as seen by the writer. To get a clear understanding, let me say the Orestes Republican Club owns the club building, is chartered under the laws of Indiana, and numbers over two hundred members. The Orestes Preceptory of the Window-glass Workers' Association of North America has the hall rented for its meetings. A secret meeting of the glass workers was ordered at 2 p. m. from headquarters at Pittsburg to listen to a report on matters pertaining to glass workers by a delegate from Pittsburg. The meeting had not been called to order when the Democratic procession came east on Broadway past the club building. The paraders had previously entered town and gone west on a street one block south. They turned at the west end of town and came east past the club. The glass workers were about to call their meeting to order when the procession arrived. The men thought they would watch the procession pass, and were out on the lawn (fifty by fifty feet, club property) in front of the hall. As would be natural, good-natured chatting began. The procession cheered for Bryan and our men for McKinley. The writer sat on a chair in the door of the club building, and was an eyewitness to the whole affair. The procession had passed peacefully by, for more than three-fourths of its length, or almost past, when a rush was made for the clubroom door for entrance by women and children fleeing before a troop of perhaps twenty-five men on horses, who came vip on a gallop from the east and met a large wagon with a hayrack, loaded with men armed with stones and clubs. A simultaneous attack was made by the horsemen and the armed men upon our defenseless glass workers and the women and children who had congregated upon the club building lawn to watch the procession pass. .The attack was undoubtedly premeditated, wholly unwarranted and condemned by our best people of both parties. Our men were utterly defenseless; they had not a stick or stone or weapon of any description with which to defend themselves and their women and children. A score or more of our men were hurt, and several women and children were struck by flying missiles and broken glass. The hoodlums did not stop when the glass workers were routed, but commenced to demolish the club building, breaking the glass and doors and otherwise destroying the property, while the men uninjured were engaged getting their wives and children out the back windows of the clubroom. The report that we were congregated for the purpose of interfering with or molesting in any manner the procession is totally false, and we defy the writer from Summitville to prove his assertions. We ourselves will prosecute any of our men who pulled a flag from the bridle of a horse in the procession, threw a stone or in anv way attempted to stop the procession. We will give. Mr. Ochiltree or any other man $100 if he can establish the truth of his statement in to-day's issue of the Journal C. L. CAMPBELL, President Republican Club of Orestes and Secretary Glass Workers' Preceptory. "Subscribed and sworn to before mo this 2Sth day of September. 1896. "(Seal) E. S. PLACKARD. "Justice of the jJeace." Orestes, Ind., Sept. 2S. Campaign in Delaware County. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE. Ind., Sept. 28. At the regular meeting of the Veterans' McKinley Club Saturday night Mr. Isham Sedgewick, of Richmond, made a fine speech. Mr. Sedgewick is a coffee grower in free-silver Nicaraugua, Central America, and he gave some object lessons from personal experience that would blot out all old free-silver notions firom the mind of any free-thinking American citizen. He showed whv it did not benefit the farmer, laboring man, merchant or manufacturer of that country. To-morrow the Republicans of Delaware township will have a great celebration at Albany. There was a great Republican meeting at Eaton Saturday night. Dr. W. A. Spurgeon. of this city, was the speaker At Yorktown Saturday afternoon Mount Pleasant township Republicans had a great rally. Theodore Shocknev. of Union City spoke. Smithfield Republicans hoisted a pole 150 feet high Saturday, but it took two efforts. The pole broke in three parts but was spliced and pulled up bv a tractionengine. W. W. Orr and Major Emely made speeches before the two thousand people present. At 10 o'clock Saturday morning it became known that Senator Warner Miller, of New York, would pass through Muncie an hour later on the Big Four road, jgoing to Union City. In that short time ; crowd of fully two thousand people was collected to hear a ten-minute speech by the eloquent New Yorker. Indiana Campaign otes. Holman-'s Opera House at Hammond was packed to the doors Saturday night with people who turned out to hear Hon. John L. Griffiths. Sunday night at Noblesville hundreds were turned away from the courthouse for lack of room to hear Judge Howe, of Indianapolis. Preceding the speaking there was a parade on the streets by the McKinley Club, of Cicero, headed by the drum corps of glass workers. The old soldiers and Sons of Veterans of Elwood have completed the organization of a strong Republican club. There are now 150 members. Officers were selected as follows: President. W. J. Watson; vice president. H. C. Lyst; secretary. Arthur McMahan; treasurer, E. A. McMahan. ARTFUL FRENCH GLASSES. Tinted Monocles, for Women That Magnify the Eye and Lashes. Boston Globe. Only the woman who is hopelessly, irreclalmably behind the times uses a lorgnon. Along with the tomahawk and the waterfall, the lorgnon has now become a thing of the barbaric past. Now, of course, there were lots of women who truly were nearsighted, who honestly depended on the lorgnons for a true view of things, and who will deeply resent being deprived of them. For these and for all the rest of the feminine world, who must have a glass to see through, there has just come to town the new French monocle and pincenez. For the nearsighted or weak of eye they are a great blessing and to any pretty face are excessively becoming. The eyeglass is just as strong or just as weak as your eyes require, and the two crystal lenses are set to a noseclasp of gold. No rim runs around the lenses themselves, which are cut cither oval or square, while at the outside edge of the right-hand lens a delicate gold handle is fixed. This is meant to hold the glasses by. to set them off or on the nose with, and from this handle hangs a narrow, soft, black silk ribbon. Tt passes about one's neck, has strung on it three jeweled ring guards and is long enough to let the glasses hang a little below the waist line. By the merest wrinkling of the nose these pincenez are twitched off, just as easily set on. and their wearers only keep them in place a very few moments at a time, for the glasses have the strongest magnifying power, in order to make the eyes behind them appear almost abnormally large, and the lashes excessively long. Occasionally, in place of passing the ribben about one's ne-.k, it is caught by a jeweled pin on the right shoulder, usually fastened in with the pendant pin of one's watch, and, by way of guards, three big pearls or a huge turquoise bead between two pierced cabochon emeralds, are strung on the ribtKMi- The same women who run to this extravagance have the gold nose bridge of their glasses outlined with tiny diamonds, like the eyeglass of the Princess of Wales., who is supposed to be responsible for this fashion. In spite of her reputation as the most girlish looking arrandmother in Europe, the Princess is feeling her age. and in the last six months has succumbed to the use of eyeglasses, though she never keeps them in place longer than five minutes at a time, for fear of scarring the bridge of her royal ncse with the tight clasps. Beside the princenez. with jeweled guards and ribbons, the jewelers are offering for sale exquisite little chatelaine cases of velvet and leather, all besnrinkled with gms, and meant to be pinned on one's shoulder, or booked on at one's belt. Inside these

cases are eyeglasses, so artfully ground, polished, set and colored that a pair of thu least attractive eyes, looking through them, takes on a most limpid, childlike expression. Every one of these glasses shows a vague opalescent tint of azure, which gives to the whites of the eves an adorable ting-e or blue, like that noticeable in children. Then, by skillful srrindinc. the iris and cunil are not only magnified, but given the brilliant, jewel-like convex form, that is only seen in earlv vouth rd in the beautiful eyes of

' genius. Some of these costly glasses, which are an fansian importer, are sei iu cate rims of turquoise blue enamel. They have neither hand'e nor guard, but are meant, when not in use. to be slipped into their very elegant cases. A year ago many misses and matrons, who dearly love to exploit a novelty, wore, by long gold chains, single reading glasses, but they promptly were vulgarized, as the heart locket has been, and now the girl of the moment uses a monocle. She screws it right into her unoffending eye socket, or lets it dangle from a silk ribbon round her neck. Her ribbon is always black, and where it is strung through the circle of glass is fastened by one bright diamond. But the monocle is not worn for its sweet self alone, nor in the least as an aid to vision. Nearly all of them are very slightly colored, in order to lend that effect so many women crave, of possessing one brown and one blue eye. Latter-day seers announce that the gin endowed with mismatched eyes is fated to retain her beauty long after other debutantes have faded with fat matronhood. and that their lives are destined to be full of romantic masculine admiration: so. with these noble aims in view, is not the un ccmfortable monocle worth wearing?

Ql'EEX VICTORIA'S FATHER. The Woman Who Shared His Fortunes While He Was a Bachelor. Quebec Letter in New York Sun. The preparations for the celebration of the longest reign in British Aistory have revived considerable interest in Canada and the Canadian career of Queen Victoria's father, when, as a gay bachelor, his household both at Halifax and at Quebec, was presided over by the beautiful and fascinating Mme. de St. Laurent. She was, in reality, the Baroness Fortisson. She Is described as a most charming and fascinating woman, and she accompanied the Duke to Canada in 1791, when he landed in Quebec as commander of the British forces. He immediately took up his residence at Haldimand House at the Falls of Montmorency, the large manor house still visible to tourists on the west side of, the falls. His town house still remains, under the name of Kent House, upon St. Louis street, in this city, nearly opposite the courthouse. At both these residences Mme. St. Laurent was installed as mistress, as well as at his lodge near Halifax,' which, out of compliment to her, he called "the cell of Friar Lawrence." A mass of the correspondence of the De Salaberry family has been published which includes many leiters from both the Duke of Kent and his mistress. The De Salaberrys. one of whom commanded the Canadian forces at the battle of Chateauguay, lived at Beauport. close to Montmorency. In one of the Duke's letters to this family from Halifax this postscript occurs: "Madame St. Laurent has no time to write by this mail, being engaged in preparations for our journey. She proposes to make amends on our return." Edward De Salaberry, who fell at the storming of Badaos in 1812, wrote to his royal Highness just before the encounter that was destined to be fatal to him: "Believe me. sir, that my last moments shall be to wish you all the happiness which you. as well as Madame, eminently deserve." The Duke was undoubtedly sincerely attached to "Madame." and she remained his companion until not very long before his death, the final cause of their separation having been the Duke's approaching marriage, which was dictated by reasons of state policy. It was in 1818 that the Duke was married to Queen Victoria's mother, though as late as June 13. 1814. he wrote to Colonel De Salaberry from Kensington Palace, after his return to England: "Mme. De St. Laurent unites with me in best remembrances." and on the 28th of September following he concluded another letter to the same correspondent as follows: "Thank God. we are both quite well. Mv life continues to be very domestic, and I see as little of the great world as possible, and having. said this to you. I am sure you will be pleased to learn that what our life was when we were beside you. it has continued during the twenty vears that have passed since we left Canada, and I love to think that twenty years hence it may be the same." Little more than four years had elapsed, however, when, in March. 1S19, the year following the Duke's marriage, and a few weeks only before the birth of his daughter. Queen Victoria, Mme. St. Laurent retired into a convent. The parents of many of the present generation of Quebecers. and of the residents of Beauport and Montmorency, were full pf anecdotes of the life in Canada of the Queen's father, and to them the nicture was a familiar one, of the Duke and the beautiful Mme. St. Laurent driving from the Falls into the city everv morning and back again every night, behind a pair of high-stepping ponies. In addition to being no saint, the Duke, in Canada, was certainly a martinet. Several men of the Prince's regiment at Quebec plotted to seize him and other officers, and unless they granted their requests, to kill him and escape across the lines. Draper, the ringleader, was sentenced to be shot. At his colonel's Intercession he was pardoned, but the alternative was seven hundred lashes .V Characteristic of Trade In Ions. J. M. Ludlow, in the October Atlantic. The characteristic cf trade unionism has been, that it has been in the main confined to the better paid, and thereby substantially the skilled trades. Attempts to form unions had not unfrequently flashed out amongst the unskilled masses, but had soon come to an end. For the most part, the wages in such cases were insufficient to keep up the union; or there was a want of capacity to manage, or again of capacity to obey. On the other hand, the well-paid members cf the artisans trade unions were able to provide for a number of different benefits, such as are provided for by the ordinary friendly society sickness, accident, relief on travel in search of employment, a sum at death, whether of the member, his wife, or his children, often superannuation at a given age. They thus drew to themselves the great bulk of the better and more prudent workmen in the trade, since for a workingman to join one of the better trade unions was virtually to provide against all the ordinary contingencies of life. This gave them . immense staying power, but on the other hand acted as a powerful drag in case of any labor dispute, inducing on the part of their leaders a cautiousness contrasting strongly with the common idea of such officials. I do not think I ever knew a more cautious man than my late friend. William Allan, of the Amalgamated Engineers. So far was this caution carried that in one signal instance a. labor contest in the north of England for a nine hours' working day was carried to a successful close by the present "chief labor correspondent" of the Board of Trade. Mr. John Burnett, without any help from the headquarters of the union. Miid Hulldocinff. New York Weekly. Mrs. Shrill So you won't get me that new bonnot? Mr. S No, I won't. Mrs. S. Very well. then.

Dealers Lose Confidence In Members of the Cycling Sisterhood. New Y'ork Sun. At the beginning of this year, when the price of a good bicycle was much higher than it is now, dealers in wheels were not surprised that thieves should visit their stores with the intention of stealin" machines, but now that a pretty fair bkye'e may be bought for a few dol'lars it eems queer to the shopmen that anybodv should want to steal one and run the chance if being detected. It didn't take dealers long to spot the men who made a regular laziness of hiring wheels and not returning them, because reports of such things travJ rapidly from one shop to another Strainers who tried to rent machines we're usually treated with extreme coolness and only rarely was one allowed to take a wheel out of the store. At that time however, the persons whom the shopkeepers had reason to suspect belonged to the male sex, and, as a rule, the women who came to hire wheels were accommodated. Now- the suspicion, of bicycle dealers hereabouts rests on both men and women, and, if anything, it rests more heavily on the latter. This feeling of mistrust has not been engendered by the arrest or conviction of women bicycle thieves in other parts of the country, but by the personal experiences of the New York dealers themselves. "Why," said the manager cf a wheelrenting store, "I would rather have a dozen men thieves to deal with than one woman thief. When a man calls to hire a w heel and we are at all Irt doubt as to bis honesty, we simply tell him he can't have it. and that settles the matter. He is told thut our rule Is to refuse to let wheels to persons we don't know, and he goes away

Distribtitoti - -- -- - peaceably. With a woman it is different. She comes in all topged out for cycling and her face covered with smiles. She wishes to take a wheel, she says, just for a little spin in the park, and will surely be back inside of two hours. Her friends have told her that we have such lovely wheels, and she has wanted for ever so long to try one of them. If a man in the shop is brave enough to ask for her address sher tosses her head and snaps her eyes and says she lives at such and such a place and has always lived there, and her father is Mr. So-and-So, a prominent politician it may be, and she is surprised that we should think of asking her such a question We assure her that we don't doubt her word, but that our rules forbid our renting her a wheel. We explain that under no circumstances do we let' wheels to any" one whose standing we have not previously Investigated. Then, she declares that the whole thing is absurd, and that she is going to be done out of an afternoon's pleasure all because none of us happens to know her. When an argument like that comes from a young woman with a pretty face it's an almighty hard job to stand out against it. We have had dozens of women call here whom we were afraid to trust with wheels and have had to deny their requests." The owner of a wheel-renting place on Eighth avenue says that he has an eye for female bicycle thieves that never deceives him. "Almost every day," said he, "women who are strangers to me come here and ask to take a machine out for a little while; and some of them have corking good looks too. Often without saying yes or no to their request I ask for their name andaddress. When I have got that I tell them that our rule is always to investigate the trustworthiness of strangers .before renting them wheels. Some v omen will frown at that and others will f.ay: 'Of course, I understand that perfectly well, but I do want a ride so awfully, and. really now, you know I'm all right, don't you?' "In cases like that, 'tis only natural fcr a man to scratch his head and tell the woman that of course he knows Fhe's all right. But the fellow who yields ij liable to be out a wheel. Let me tell you, young women have come to this shop womon with big blue eyes and sound-rnoney hair, who looked as if they came direct from Sunday school and left addresses which we afterward looked up and found to be purely fictitious; persons with ihe i,amcs given us did not live there. It may be that some of the false names and street numbers are given us merely in a spirit of revenge, the women supposing that we will make a wild goose chase to look up their whereabouts. Anyhow, customers of that sort who call here once never come back, which is lucky for us, as we always have enough new ones to aftend to." WOMEN IX TRADE. Smart Society Lender "Who Are SnceeMnfiil IlnslneKN ManaK'ern. New York Letter in Florida. Citiaen. My lady, the countess, and her grace, the dutchess, behind counters, have long since ceased to be a nine day's wonder. In this country, by slow degrees, the same conditions are beginning to prevail. One no longer tries to eke out a scanty existence by doing "fancy work" in secret, to sell at a woman's exchange. She plunges boldly in medias res and establishes a florist or a millinery shop perchance, or a dairy. "Nestledown" is the charming. and attractive name given by the two enterprising young society women who have just opened a. florist's shop in the Associated Artists" Building. The members of the N'estledown Flower Company are Miss "Redmond, a relative of Edward Cooper; Miss Sallie Tucker, and Mrs. Candace Wheeler, president. The place is artistic, even from the exterior, where a glass-Inclosed case holds many wild flowers and old-fashioned blossoms, which one is accustomed to see at a city florist's. One of the heads of the firm makes an early start in the morning to give her orders for the day at a wholesale dealer's, and from S o'clock until 6 o'clock the shop is open and business lively. Other society women who are debufantes in trade are the Misses Cottenet, who are "silent partners" of their brother, Rawlins Cottenet. the young man who. although in great demand as best man and usher at swell weddings, a late Vanderbilt one' for instance, still finds work a necessity to keep the wolf from the door. So diligent has he been that his floral establishment has become a great success. The aristocratic Misses Van Remselaer were also said to have been interesved in the dairy of their brother, young Mr. Van Rensselaer, started r.ot long ago. The young society women who go in business from necessity are almost equaled in number bv the young women who take up a profession for pleasure, pure and simple. For instance. Miss Beatrix Jones, daughter of Mrs. Rhinelander Jones, who. a few years ago, became so much interested in forestry and landscape gardening that she set to work system ttioally to itwkf" a thorough studv of the subjects Alter learning all sh could in this country, she went abroad and put h-rself under the best instruction. Just at present h- is engaged in the pursuit of her profession and working away with great Zeal and energy. She has two contracts on her hand, and two large estates at Bar Harbor, In time, will bloom into beauty under her skillful dilution. Miss Jones nuts on rubber boots and goes right into the mire and mud to superintt-nd the clearing, draining, and arranging of the four hundred or mere acres of land upon which an army of men are at work.

These enterprising young women have since married, but if ever fortune frowns upon them, without doubt they will rise nobly to the occasion, and go into "plain business" or trade. Still another young society woman, niece of a well-known and brilliant physician, is conducting a small hotel in the suburbs of New York city, and bhe. too, is making a success of her chosen profession. In England establishments thus set up have been under the titled names of their proprietors. The Duchess of Hamilton, for instance, has opened a butter shop at Ipswich, and her carts and billheads bear her own nani in full. Lady Shaftesbury sells the fruit and dairy produce from her own farms. All th rich people on the Isle of Wight buy their butter of Mrs. Hallam Tennyson. Mrs. Charles Kerr, sister-in-law of Lord Dunraven, has her own name over her millinery shop. But the list is a long one. So many, indeed,, are tht ladies In trade in England, that a London Society of LadyDressmakers and Milliners has been formed as a sort of titled trust to prevent the lowering of prices by too much competition. Any on wishing to enter must furnish testimonials of social position as well as of character. Paris, too. is following the example set by London In the matter of titled shopkeepers and a young countess has recently opened an establishment where, for a consideration, she supplies her friends with robes and chapeaux. ( SOMR LEAP-YKAU LAW'S. Women Cnnld Propose COO Yfnrn Ar and the .Men Had to Accept. Philadelphia Examiner. Probably few spinsters who have been trying to gather up enough courage to take, advantage cf their customary privileges during leap year are aware that in two countries at least, and more than six hundred years ago, laws were passed which gave women the right of proposing marriage. These enactments went even further than this. They also stipulated that If the man whose hand they sought should refuso he should incur a heavy fine. A searcher among the ancient records of Scotland has recently discovered an act of the Scottish Parliament, which was passed in the year 123S. which runs as follows: "It is statut and ordalnt that during the rein of this maist bllssit niegeste, UK tor the vears knowne as lepe yea re, lik may den ladye of balthe highe and lowe estait shall hae liberte to bespeke ye man sh likes, albeit gif he refuses to taik hir to b-s his lawful wyfe he shall be mulcted in ye, sum of ane dundis or less, as his estait may be; except and awis gif he can m.iko It appeare that he is betrothit an Ithcr woman, he then shall be free.'' A year or two later a law almost similar to tho Scottish enactment was passed In France, and received tho approval of the. King. It is also said that before t-'olumbiis sailed on his famous vo"e to the westward a similar privilege was granted to tho maidens of Genoa and Florence. There Is no record extant of any fines imposed under the conditions of this Scotch law, and no trace of statistics regarding the number of spinHters who took advantage of lt or of the similar regulations In France, but the custom seems to have taken firm hold upon the popular mind about that time. The next mention of it is dated r,-ivit,.ire" is thus alluded' to: Albeit it now becomes a part of the com-, mon law in regard to social relations of life that, as often as leap year doth return, tht ladyes have the sole privilege dining tho time it contlnueth of making love.
