ONE Or CUPID'S PHASIES.
dtin Axton Young Lady Goes to Chicago to
Cot Startled.
A sensation a more than ordinary inter
est was enacted ha Acton last week. It
zeems that Miss Edith, t,he youngest daugh-
ter of our esteemed fellow. citizen, Mr. W.
H. Storey, had formed an acquaintance
...with Dr. Payne of Richland, Iowa, which
eis the months aelvanced hied ripened into
affection which 'minted to a matrimonial
alliance. Mr. Storey has always been re -
:marked for the love he bore toward his
children and desire to eve there comforta-
bly settled in life, but when approached tor
bis permission to this union he felt that
he could not sanction a marriage which
would necessitate the removal of
his daughter so many hundreds of miles
away. The young people then determined
to take the matter into their own hands
and last Wednesday morning Miss Storey
surreptitiously left home'wee met by Dr.
Payne at Toronto, from which point they
proceeded at once to Chicago and were there
married. The pain caused the parents here
may be imagined. Edith was the last
;daughter at home and her sudden departure
was most keenly felt. Dr. Payne is some-
what well known in Beton, and during his
-visits here made a number of friends. He
has a good practice in his American home
and hie prospects are bright. it is hoped
the young people will never have to regret
the rash step just taken.--Aceen Free Press.

DEEMING DECLARED GUILTY,
IS ME A PANGANDENtIN e
A Queer Quarrel Between Sir Charles
and Editor Stead.
Editor Stead, Sir Charles Dilke and Har-
old Frederic are engaged in a curious three -
cornered quarrel. Stead provoked i by
this challenge in the Welsh Review:
"1 assert, without hesitation, that Sir
Charles Dilke was guilty of adultery with
Mrs. Crawford. If he denies this, and
wishes to prove his isinocencis, he has only
to prosecute me for libel."
Sir Charles Dilke's only reply was:
"Stead is a panganderin advertising for
fame."
But 'Harold Frederic takes up the cudgel
tor Dilke, and says :
"Stead's grandiloquent offer to be sued
for libel is as strictly bogus is the rest of his
suggestions foPthe clearing of Sir Charles
Dilke's character. Sir Charles Dilke has
publicly stigmatized him as a liar. There
as o ambiguity about the term—'liar..'
Why does not he bring an action for libel?"
And this is the way the quarrel stands.
Australia's Jack -the -Ripper Will be Tried
for Murder,
A. WILD EOENE AT TEE INQUEST,
The firet evidence submitted was that of
the doctor who found the body. nzt There
was intense excitement as the witness gave
the ghastly details of the finding of the
body, which, he eaid, had been doubled up,
evidently with the object of saving labor in
digging the grave.
Throughout the hearing Deeming wore a
careless air, and on SeVeral OeettSiOIRS he
laughed loudly at some of the statements.
An ironmonger named Woods and his
wife testified that they had sold the prisoner
a spade, a trowel and a barrel of cement on
Dec. 17th.
When Miss Rouncewell, to whom he Wan
to have been married, was called, her
identification of DoemMg produced a
marked effect on him. He turned ghastly
pale, fidgeted nervously and kept his eyes
upon her, evidently anxious to attract her
attention. She would not look at him after
the identification, but sat quietly listening
to the inquest.
To place the question of Deeming's iden-
tification beyond all doubt, he was placed
M the courtyard of the jail with 50 other
prisoners. Here he was seen and identified
by 52 persons who had known him under 15
aliases.
He became wild with rage, and breaking
fromhis guards rushed upon those who
had identified him and struck one of them
a severe blow. He attempted to hit others,
but they eluded him, and finally the infuri-
ated man was overpowered. He believes
the game has ended for him, and a close
*atoll is kept to prevent him from killing
hininelt
Notwithstanding the fact that the •jury,
which was investigatiug into the death of
Mrs. Deeming, who was murdered at her
home at NITindeor euburb of this city,
yesterday return:a a verdict of wilful mur-
der against her husband, Deeming to -day
shows the same characteristics that have
marked him since his arrest. The verdict
does not seem to affect him in the least, and
he is in turn jocular and insolent,. The
more the man is studied the deeper
becomes the belief of many persons
that he is utterly without conscience
and equally devoid of fear. • Those
who have studied hiro closely, however,
think his conduct is mere bravado, and that
when he fin& the noose tightening about
his neck he will become an abject coward.
The Globe says the police have been
unable to trace Deeming's exact where-
abouts at the time these murders were com-
mitted in Whitechapel. It is thought that
with the clue furnished them by the girl,
some startling developments may be looked
fo and that the Whitechapel mysteries may
at last be solved.
Why Ite »id nor.
Bishop Whipple, that genial Christian,
while travelling throughout the Northwest,
says that he once met a man—a scholar—
who told him that he bad read every book
that he could get which assailed Christianity,
and he should have become an infidel but
for three things: First. I am a man. I
am going somewhere. To -day I am a day
nearer the grave than I was last night. I
have read all that these books offer me, and
they stied not one solitary ray of light or
hope upon the darkness. They shall not
take away the only good I have ever known
and leave me blind. Second. I had a
mother. I saw her go down into the dark
-valley where lam sure to go. She leaned
u pon the arm that was invisible to me, as
calmly as a child goes to sleep on its
mother's breast Third. 1 have three
motherless daughters. They have no one
but myself. I would rather kill them than
leave them in this world if you drop out
from it the teachings of the gospel. --Ere.
Scotch Liberality to the Jews.
The people of Scotland have been more
liberal in raising subscriptions in behalf of
the Jews of Russia, than the people of any
other country in Europe. At a meeting
held in Glasgow, to help the Russian Jews,
the sum of $10,000 was raised, and the fund
lute been greatly enlarged since then,
through the influence of the Lord Provost.
In Edinburgh and other large Scotch cities
large sums have been subscribed. In Dun-
dee the town folks gave over $5,000. The
London Jewish World expretmea admiration
for Scotch liberality.

The introduction of the siphon teapot into

A Single Tax Petition.
The irrepressible Henry George men are
now to the front with something new in the
way of Congressional petitions. For over
two years they have been quietly gathering
signatures requesting the House of Repre-
sentatives to appoint a special committee
for the purpose of making a full inquiry
into and to report upon the expediency of
raising all public revenues by a single tax
upon the value of land, irrespective of im-
provements, to the exclusion of all other
taxes, whether in the form of tarifa; upon
imports, taxes upon internal prochictionts or
otherwise. This is called "the single tax,"
and, as may be seen, it is also absolute free
trade.
Each signature is on a separate slip of
paper containing the petition in full. The
slips number 115,503. Theyeouie from all
parts of the Union, and are signed by peo-
ple whose neighbors, in many oaths, will be
surprised to learn of their sympathy with
Henry Georgeism. But it is the form in
which the petition is arranged that makes
it the most unique thing of its kind. The
original slips are bound together in beaks,
of which there are 691, arranged by States.

ment.
A Washington despateli says " Barlsar-
ous," was the indignant characterization of
Representative Hitt to -day in conitnenthia
upon the Geary Anti -Chinese Bill. There
have been numerous measures introduced in
the American Congress duringthepast de
cede to restrictChineim
se migration,
but the Geary bill is far more sweeping in
its provisions than any of its pre-
decessors. It provides in brief that from
arid after the passage of the .Act no
Chinese persons, except the diplomatic and
consular representatives of the Empire,
shall be permitted to enter the United
States. Ship ceptains who shall attempt
surreptitiously to land any Chinese eubjects,
except the foregoing, hall be fined $500
for each and every person so brought, and
may also be imprisoned for one year. Any
Chinese man who shall enter the United
States be: crossing its boundary lines may
be imprisoned in the Penitentiary for a
term not exceeding five years, and when he
shall have served out hie sentence he must
be removed from the United States to the
country whence he came.
Toe bill also provides that Chinese per-
sons who shall come into the United States
from China be returned to that country. It
makes no exceptions in favor of Chinese who
may be subjects of any other foreign power,
and it also requires that within a year after
the passage of the act every Chinese raan
in the United States Isbell apply for a
certificate of residence, and those
who do not apply and are found
without such certificate of residence
shall be subject to the same fines and
penalties as if they had unlawfully come
into the United States in the first instance.
The failure of the Senate to pass the bill,
Mr. Geary says, will make California safely
Democratic at the coming autumn elections.
It is not believed, however, that it will be
adopted by the Senate, inasmuch as that
body recently passed a measure extending
for ten years more the pending Exclusion
Act of 1892.

WHEN A MAN IS NOT A HOG.
The announcement this week that the
Canada Life Assurance Company is under
contract to pay over $56,000,000 to its
policy holders and their heirs suggests a
few ideas. The Canada Life is only one of
many insurance companies doing business
in Canada. We have not at hand the figures
showing the total life assurance written in
Canada'but in the United ' States the
amount 1» force at the end ef 1891 reached
the tremendous total of $4,500,000,000. The
companies returned during 1891 over $100,-
0:10,000 to policy holders, and had at the
end of the year well -invested assets of
about $1,000,000,000 to guarantee the fulfil-
ment of unexpired obligations. But great
as are these sums they do not by far repre-
sent an exhausted field •' there are still
families and individuals by the hundred
thousand to whom life insurance is needful
and accessible. And as the appreciation of
the excellencies of life insurance is growing
year by year, it would be a bold man who
should attempt to forecast the immensity of
the sums involved in it, say at the beginning
of the twentieth century. ,
Among savages it is "every man for Min -
self," and the growth of the life insurance
business is one of the signs of civilized
man's emergence from savage ideas. The
basic idea of life insurani
ce s that a man
shall deny himself the use of a part of his
earnings or income in order that his depend-
ents may be shielded from want when he is
gone. True, business competition and
actuarial iogenuity have succeeded in pro-
ducing many plans that make the sacrifice
easier, and in some cases almost disguise it
under the mask of some feature that has
been combined with it to attractpatronage;
nevertheless, there is not a single one of all
these attractive plans of life insurance that
does not during some porlion of the period
it covers call the exercise of self-denial into
action.
In the hot race for business this simple,
underlying fact has been too much lost sight
of, or wilfully relegated to but cursory men-
tion. Not that it is not well to accept
everything that facilitates the performance
of duty, as long as the essentials are kept in
view. But it is better for the self-respect,
better for the permanent satisfaction of both
assurers and assured that the cardinal point
of life insurance should be well understood,
and that in all cases it means protection of
dependents first, and investment or savings
bank afterward.
Let the thoughtful man consider for a
moment what a varietyof good results from
the life insurance premiums that he annually
pays to good companies. In the first place
he bas acted wisely from the point of view,
of his own business, to which he can devote
his best energies, untrammeled by the dread
of destitution overtaking Ms family if he
should die. Again, in such an event, he
has enabled them to save perhaps an estate
that might have been lost to them but for
the ready money which life insurance pro-
vides. He has shielded his children from
the necessity of drudgery during the years
which should be devoted to preparing their
young lives to grapple with the problems of
the future. Itle has put them beyond the
reach of the humiliation of charity, and
done his part towards Neatening the time
when charity -taking will be donfined to
very narrow limits. He has also
done that which prevents his de-
pendents from becoming a bur-
den upon the State, either through their
poverty or the lack of proper training com-
pelled by poverty. He has contributed his
quota. to funds which are nee "locked up,"
but which are greatly instrumental in
furthering works of public utility, while
earning interest for the companies that in-
vest them for the benefit of policy -holders
and beneficiaries,
It is plain, therefore, that of all the
practical forms of unselfishness that which
is embodied in the availment of the life in-
surance idea is most fruitful of good results
to the individual and to the community.
With due deference to the worth of the
various charities, it must be admitted that
their work is not nearly as far reaching, nor
as conducive to preserving that dignity of
character width is not assailed by life insne-
ance. The berieficriary of a life insurance
policy has no one to thank but the one who
is beyond the reach of thanks. The com-
pany in paying the insurance Simply des

whom are directors of the Cambrian Rail-
way, appeared at the bar of the House
to -day to answer a summons °barging them
w ce sur ng one of the railway employees
who had testified before the Parlieanentary
Coneniesion inquiry into the hours of labor
imposed upon railway servants, in such a
manner as tended to intimidate other rail-
way employees from testifying frsely and
fully upon the matter the COnftielfisien is in-
quiring into.
The cornmiesion received a special report
of the facts in this case, and the four gentle-
men above named were summoned by the
House to appear before it and explain their
action.
The public galleries were crammed, while
in the peers' gallery were Lords Spencer,
Limerick, Wharncliffe, Windsor, Thring
and 30 others.
Director MacLure, being a member of the
House of Commons, made his apology frorn
the floor of the House. The other directors
stood Qutside the bar, which was placed
across the gangway.
They all concurred in expressing regret
for their language in censuringthe employee
referred to, and declared that their offence
was unintentional.
The House was crowded, as were also the
galleries, with persons who were attracted
by the debate on this question. The rarity
of privilege cases, not the importance of the
question, invested the • proceedings with a
special interest.
Mr. Gladstone suggested that the Howie
would go beyond its functions if it forced
the railway (Erectors to compensate a man
whom they had dismissed from the service,
but it was the absolute duty of the House,
he considered, to maintain the perfect free-
dom of witnesses appearing before com-
mittees. le hact been the custom in cases
of breach of privilege to act with mildness
and yet with firmness—an apology having
been made for a wrong done a public princi-
ple, the House had generally accepted the
apology and had also admonished those who
infringed a privilege.
Mr. Cremer (Radical) next suggested
that the railway directors pay Hood 21,000.
After a long discussion Mr. Balfour
moved to applythe cloture rule and the
motion was carried by 247 to 186, amid loud
Radical protests.
Mr. Platen's amendment, in favor of com-
pensating Hood, was rejected by 245 to 189.
Mr. Balfour then moved that Sir Michael
Hicks -Beach's motion that the Speaker ad-
monish the railway directors for their breach
of privilege be put.
Mr. Balfour's motion was received with a
loud shout of "ayes," which was responded
to by a defiant Radical cry of "no."
Dr. Tanner exclaimed, "No humbug,"
and was rebuked by the Speaker.
The uproar subsiding, Sir Michael Hicks -
Beach's motion was carried by a vote of 349
to 70.
The directors were then recalled to the
bar of the House and the Speaker read the
resolution, adding that the House had taken
a lenientiview of their conduct, in accepting
the apology theyoffered, and that the privi
lege of theRousewas no unreal, shoe:levy
or unsubstantial thing.
The Speaker reminded the delinquents
that they had been found guilty of a seri-
ous and grievous offence, arid he warned
them that a repetition would be severely
punished by the House.

Lots of Wasted Sympathy.
Rochester Herald: During the past ten
years there has been enough of sympathy
wasted on condemned murderers in this
State to feed the starving peasants of
Russia, if it could be converted into cold
roubles. When hanging was the statutory
custom, never did a wretch go the gallows
vvho did tot call forth a larger volume of
compassion than the average needy citizen,
who obeys the law, is ever able to inspire.
Then something was the matter with the
sentence, or with the rope, or with the
hangman. Misguided dispensers of sympathy
would have us believe that the State was
committing a supreme outrage in enforcing
on society's behalf a method a defence that
has been Justified by divine law and prac-
ticed by human communities since the dawn
o civilizatiom • Oh, the pity of ie. -that the
State should take the life of some low-
broveed miscreant Who had butchered his
wife, or stabbed his friend to death, or shot
down a man who was guarding his ;leered
hearthetone from intrusion or robbery 1'
Such was the oft -repeated lament of good
people. All the sympathy for the asetissin,
and none for the 'Victim.

TOED IN ITS MOTHER'S ARMS.
A Host Pitifid Scene Witnessed at Suspen-
sion Bridge Yesterday.
A Niagara Falls, Ont., despatch says :
A very sad' scene took place on the
arrival of the West Shore emigrant tram at
Suspension Bridge this afternoon. Among
the many hundred emigrants from across
the ocean that arrived from New
York on their way to their new
homes in the west was A. P. Sonson,
his wife and child of 11 months, from Den-
mark, on their way to Utley, Wis. Neither
of them could speak a word of English. It
was noticed that the mother was tenderly
nursing and watching her little babe that
was in her arms with tears streaming down
her pallid cheeka. Afew moments later the
mother gave a shriek of agony and partially
fainted. The little one had died in its
mother's arms, and a very pitiable scene en-
sued. The mother and father almost went
frantic with grief. From what could be
learned from them the child was delicate,
and the sea voyage was too much for it.
Undertaker Welch was sent for, and the
little one was placed in a casket and buried
in the town cemetery. The mother and
father went on their way with their hearts
rent in twain muttering "Mein 011ie," and
wringing their hands. 011ie was the little
one's name.
BLAINE'S LITTLE GAME.
Exposure of His Reciprocity Intrigues With
South America.
POTEOTION .AND THE HOME MARE:E.T.
BRUSSELS, April 20. —The Independence
Beige publishes a second article by Maxi-
millinuo Ibanez on "The United States and
South America Republics and Europe." He
contends that, while the Monroe doctrine
in no way justifies the United States in
interfering with South American affairs, yet
the American Government puts the Monroe
doctrine in a new shape in order to bring
South America under its thumb. Ibanez
admits that the statesmen of the North
American Union are far too
clever to think of annexing any
South American territory, as . the
incorporation of any of the Latin republics
would bring about a war of races and shat-
ter the Union itself. Mr. Blaine, howevee,
sees with equal clearness that with their
enormous industrial and commercial over -
productions the United States are threat-
ened with immense dangers unless they find
fresh outlets for their products. Therein
lies the secret of the policy of encroachment
toward South America. Ibanez also con-
tends that the Washington Cabinet will
never bring the South American republics
to its leciprocity views by mere force of
persuasion, as the American -Latin nations
would have to pay the United States 30 per
cent. more for produce than they pay by
purchasing the same in Europe. The
writer openly accuses Mr. Blaine of
attempting something stronger than per-
suasion to compel compliance from
South America. He insinuates that the
reciprocity treaty with Brazil was wrested
from Senor -Fonseca by illegitimate means ;
that the United States openly supported
Balmaceda against the national rising in
order to obtain from Chili a commercial
treaty wholly in favor of the North Ameri-
can Union ; that the Republican party will
renew it with fresh vigorif the Democrats do
not oust them from power ; that it will like-
wise attempt to coerce Argentina unless the
latter combines with Brazil and Chili to
resist Yankee encroachment, and lastly
Ibanez quotes the figures of English,
French and German trade with South
America to show how deeply, these Euro-
pean countries are interested in the failure
of the1/4 American Volley. He appeals to the
Governments of France, England and
Germany to combine with Brazil, Chili and
Argentina to thwart the designs of the
United States Gevernment
