Gregory to Franoio A Mortimer, of Pottle -

THEY WANTED TO Bi LOVED.
The Government presented a number of
letters in evidence that were received by
Gregory in answer to his advertisement.
Theywere mostly from women all over the
=entry who wanted to be - loved. The fol-
lowingare eztraots from some of them:
Alady from Boston writes :
I have longed to be loved for twenty, years, but
aa yet cannot find the secret. I would give any -
*Line if I could get a man to love me., ,
A young woman from New Orleans says :
lam 18 years old and amassionately in love
with Ge.rge Francis Train. Tell me how I am to
sin
AnotheieIetter reads :
----M-dean-47-yeaire--old; het -do -riot., -giro- 'hope
being married before I die. Give me the secret
e1 true love and you will prove yourself a philan-
thropist.
From Dakota comes the cry : .
I want someone, I don't care who hole, to love.
l am red haired and live on a Dakota farm. Send
the secret by telegraph, O. O. D.
• WANTED A ld'OONIOAL.
The following was received from a Utica
woman : "
I think that after many years of reflection that
I would like to gain the love of a nice clean old
man. I am 49 years.old, a widow, and have my
eyes on a wealthy old bachelor. The quicker
yon send me the secret of love the better, for I
m burning with the desire -to again enter the
marriage state. If your secret is successful you
inn receive $1,000. It you fail; then I am lost.
Delay not, for I shall hourly expect yourmes-
sa
A young Veneer girl says :
ism a young student and do not , know what
love is. I am anxious to make it a study. I want
.your aid;and assistance.
Gregory was defended by State Sena-
tor Laughlin, of Buffalo. The de-
fs�nnoe was that the paper in which
the advertisement was inserted was
tint allowed to pees through the
post cffiae, and that Gregory was only
teaching what soientiate have practised for
years. •.
Postmaster Sackett, of Buffalo, testified
that the papt r had been received in the
snails.
Francis A. Mortimer testified that, the
reason he corresponded with Gregory was
because he knew the scheme was a fraud
and that he wanted to See what there was
to it and bring Gregory to light.
The case was given to the jury on Sat-
- nrday night. They were out all night and
Judge Coxe discharged them, on Sunday
adorning, as they were unable to agree.
Congress to Regulate Canadian Railways.
A yesterday's Washington deepatoh
says : Senator Cullom submitted to the
Interstate Commerce 'Committee to -day hie
report upon the investigation whioh that
committee hail hien making dieting the
glimmer into the competition of Canadian
Meatya with the transcontinental railwa e
of the nited States. The report'atpresent
will not be given out for pblication; the
statement having been made in the
committee that until all the members could
give it careful consideration it was inex.
pedient to publish it. A member of the
committee, who read it, however, nays that
ft is an exoeedingly strong document. It
reoommende that the Canadian Pacific
and Grand Trunk railway] shall be
placed under the provieione of the Inter -
elate Commerce law so far as it will be
practicable to do that as to the Wittiness
transacted in the United States. The
report in short recommends that exactly
the thing shall be done whioh the managers
Of there roads would not do. The
committee will not meet again until next
Wednesday. At that time the expectation
is that the committee 'will adopt this report
- as its own,, and that it will then be made
public.

Sarah Bernhardt read the linea exhorting

The audience °bowed their appreciation by
shouts of " Bravo, bravo," end round after
round of applause buret forth when M. Gar-
nier read the lines of Chriat as He drove the
publicans ont of the temple and X. Bre-
mont pronounced the mocking retorts of
Calnhae, the high priest. Some yonngstere
in the gallery made a scandalous demon-
stration in favor of the prinoiples addnoed
by the publicans, and two or three butcher
boys yelled, " Hurrah for the publicans,
they are- better, then our bookmakers at
Longohampa." As M. Garnier
nounoed the words of the Saviour calling
little children .to Him, and exhorting to
charity and repentenoe, two or three voices
shouted, " Assez de Christ," " Assez de

was tremendous. M. Garnier. with diffi-

deservedly applauded.
JONATHAN'S LIQUOR BILL.
A House Committee Presents Reports on a
Big Subject.
A Washington diapatch of yesterday
says : Representative J. D. Taylor, from
the Committee on Alcoholic _Liquor Traffic
to -day reported to the House the bill agreed.
upon by the committee providing for the
appointment of an alcoholic liquor traffic
commission. The committee's report say°
that a large portion of the people have for a
long time desired an honest, intelligent,
impartial and thorough investigation of the
liquor traffio. Inquiries by a similar com-
mission in England have had remarkable
results. Reports from domestic sources
indicate the liquor traffiooauses four-fifths
of all the orimee committed, wastes one-
half of taxation, causes the expenditure of
8300,000,000 a year in drink, incapacitates
mentally and physically half a million
people for labor and business, causes three-
fourthe of the pauperism of the country,
is responsible for the. fearful increase in
insanity and imbecility, and does no good
to anybody. On the other hand these
statements are denied and pronounced to
be the hallucinations of a diseased brain.
Therefore, says the report, let ne have an
investigation and let the world know the
truth or falsity of these assertions. - Repre-
sentative Quinn, of New York, presented a
minority 'report against the bill.
Jesuits Off to Germany;
.. A Burlington, Ia., deapatob says : The
resignation of Bismarck, and the cense-
Tient, change in 'attitude toward the Order`
of Jesuits in that country,' is causing at
grand stampede of. Jesuits from "this parr.
of the country to Germany. lttev. Father
Joseph Krenish, head of the Order in this
oity, is aotively preparing, in' oompany
with hie entire corps of workers, to return
to his native land. The father said to -day
that he and his class had always retained a
strong regard for the fatherland and ite
institutions, and by the resignation of Bis-
marck, whp wan an enemy to the German
Church, they are now restored to their
prestige and preferment in Germany,
where their Order isivery wealthy and pow-
erful. " We` have hailed with delight,"
aaid he, " the 'change in government affairs
in Germany, and have resolved to return to.
that country at ono°." -

" Mr. ' Meredith thought it very undesir-
able that this question of the railway
revenue should be left to the last day of the
session. Hon. gentlemen should have known
what 'was their poliey at the beginning of
the session. ,
The motion was parried.
Mr. Balfour drew attention to a small
grant to the vadoine farm. He said that
when wanted the points had been found ;to
be useless, and at was necessary to get points
from Detroit.
Mr. Drury said he had .only recently
heard that fault was found with the vaccine
supplied by Dr. Stewart.. He would see
that the etate of affairs was remedied, or if
this could not - be done that the grant was
withdrawn.
The House went into committee on Mr.
Drury's Bill respecting statistical returns.
Mr. French objected to the legislation
whioh .. provided for the collection • of
etatietiacs on chattel mortgagee, as it would
be an unnecessary disolesure of private
matters.
Mr. Drury said thatlh order to arrive at
the true state of . the people it was necea-
eary and advisable that statistics . el, this
kind should be obtained.
Mr. Gibson (Hamilton) did not see why
there ehonld be any objection to this Bill.
it was necessary, if a reliable bureau of
statistics was to be established in this Pro-
vince. There, ehould be some provision in
the Bill to show the actual number of
mortgagee whioh have not been renewed.
Het denied, that the Government had any
sinister motive in view in introduoing the
Bill.
The bill was then reported with amend-
ments.

THIS LaND OF THE CZAB.
A Country R here Education is Dangerous
and Thought a Crime.
A St. Petersburg oable seers : All the
universities have been olosed by the Gov-
ernment. /The students at the St. Peters-
burg University made an. attack upon
Lieut. -Gen. Greaser, chief of the St.
Petersburg police, who went to the nniver-
eity to quell the disturbance, and treated
him inert very rough -manner Her -was
thrown to the floor, and while lying lime -
trate was kicked a dumber of timee.
The students abandoned the meeting
which they had proposed to hold yesterday,
the attendance being- too small. A number
of the studete who have been interviewed
pereieted in their deolaratione that the
agitation' arises solely on account of
educational matters. In proof of this
deolaration the student assembled at the
nuivnrdY'iy'an-d-t' . 0' WO ' .: oa 118 11 0
and sangthe anthem, " God Preserve the
Czar." The Czar is greatly incensed be-
cause of the. dieturbanceo, and has signi-
fied his intention of closing' all the higher
public ednoetional establishments for a
year. It is feared by the Russian officials,
however, that a year's idleness will foster
the growth of disaffection among the stu-
dents.
The police at Gateohina have discovered
explosives on the .grounds of the Imperial
Palaoe. The Imperial family have in con-
sequence renounced the idea of going there
to flnieh Lent.
The Czar for two days has suffered from
a relapse of influenza, whioh had compelled'
linin to postpone anted sande. His condition
is not serious.
Among the students arrested are Prince
Viazenisky and 'a son of Nabokoff, a former
Minister.of Justice.
GAMBLING IN STAPLE$.

A Chicago despatch saye : The Board
of Trade is drawing its lines closer and
closer in the natter of shutting off quota -
tient; from unauthorized parties. Detec-
tives were yesterday set to watch the mes-
sengers employed by firms on the Board,
and, whenever anything snspioions was
noticed in their actions their privileges of
acmes to the floor were out off. A line of
quotations was gent to Milwaukee, and
Suspicion was aroused tbat the wire had
been tapped by bucket shops.. A stop was
put to this. Many firms are now putting
their quotations into cipher. It was dis-
covered' also that a telegraph operator was
furnishing information' to the bucket shop
-men, and this was also stopped. In spite
of all precautions, however, the bucket
shops managed to get quotations. _T± the

A Washington despatch says : The bill
to prevent employment cf aliens in the
-navy etas reported to the House, by Mr.
McAdoo, who says the committee, has
direct evidence that the . decadence of the
Ameriaan merchant marine has so reduced
the number of American sailors that diffi-
oulty is found in getting naturalized men to
man our war vessels. The committee also
has evidence that preference has been given
to foreigners in -manning the vessels of the
navy,rather While citizens by birth and
adoption. Outside of apprentice boys there
are 1,938 American -born men in a total,
force of 7,946, and, counting the boys,
there are 3,668 American -born as against
4,278 foreign -born. The committee uneat.i-
monsly recommends that the bill pass.

this forgetfulness been noticeable under
all circumstances she might, probably, ..
have looked upon it- as being oonetitntional,
and have borne with it patiently; but it was
evident that Mr. Mallory die not need the
1' o any eye's.. c mnemonic o remem-
ber certain things. .For example, when she,
asked him for two dollars toward house-
hold expenses, he could glibly rattle off all
the, various amount;, of money which he -
had given her for two months past, and the
number of bushels of putatoee and pounds •
of sugar which he had ordered during that
time at the grocery store. And yet; sing-
ularly enough, if ehe gave him a letter to
post the chances ware ten to ene that he
would oarry it around in his poeeet for two
weeks, and that she would only dicover it
when mending a hole in the lining of hie • ,
coat.
A more impulsive woman than Mrs. Mal-
lory would have made life unbearable for
ethasforg al mien ; but all that the did on
such occasions was to give him a reproach-
ful look, the eff:•ct of which was evidently
completelyelost upon him. She also gave
him every opportunity of showing how
sorry he was, and of preying in a practical
way tbat he really was to be depended
upon, After all. One day, when parting .
with him at the front gate, and just as the
street oar was doming up, she asked him to
call at the dry. geode store on his way home
in the evening and get her a skein of black
Bilk, a paper of hairpins, a 'package of
needles (No. 6), a oroohet-hook, , a cake of
toilet soap, a spool of thread to match a
piece of mauve-oolored cloth which she
gave him, two shoe !awe, a package of
envelopes, a glove•buttoner, and two yards
of torohon lace (inch wide, largo open work,
and with • scalloped edges). 4t may pos-
sibly not be credited, but 'when Mr. Mal-
lory reached home it was without the
hairpins -and ho had only the trifling:.
exouso that he had forgotten all about •
them 1
No wonder -that Mre. Mallory's patience
became exhausted, and thatehe deter-
mined on redressing her .wrongs 1 The
long-suffering and patienpe so oharaoteris-
tio of woman were, however, .possess'ed by
her in a marked degree ; and she felt that
she really ought to give her erring husband
one more chance to reform. So, after a.
week of unusual forgetfulness on his part,
.ehe aeked 'him to do something so simple
that there could not be the shadow of an-
exouse for theslightest error on his part.
This was nothing more thano bring
her home, on approval, a pair " shoes,
No. 4t, last " O," , French kid, patent -
t attier tips, not . too high in the instep,
hand -sewed, "ailk lined, roomy at -the Wee,
moderately low heels, no ridges around
the ankle, and buttons ' with patent
fasteners,- with a button -hook thrpwn in.
And yet Mr. Mallory brought home a pair
ofshoesof No. 8 size, with narrow toes and
high heels, and with a general Chicago air
about them that would, have exasperated
the moat patient woman in South Carolina.
Mre. Mallory's cup- evae full. She . went.
into an adjoining room, and, procuring a.
pistol, returned and . levelled it at Mr..
Mallory and ended a career of deception and •
forgetfalnese , .
Since that time no husband in the neigh.
borhood passes the post office , without,
mptying his pockets ; and the oler sin tho •-
ry goods stores are amazed at thtienoe-
lib which their male onstomers match
