4' GEOBC " APPEAL TO " .15111LIE."
(From Buffalo Sunday News.)
WNW YORK', Oct. 17. --During the past
Len days a eerie e of peculiar personal adver-
tisements bas appeared in the frorld ad-
dressed to "Julie" and signed "George."
The first appeared on October 7th. It was
this:
JVLIE-The uncertainty of where you inay
be is breaking our hearts; come hack to a
better home and husband. Geo.
George evidently feared thet this appeal
would not be strong enough, for he inserted
another in the same edition of the World:
JUITE-Do not believe malicious falsehoods.
I said whet was not so, and can prove it to
your satisfaction ; do not break up our home,
but come back to the babies and me. Geo.
Mother was gone and the little babes were
crying for her. George couldn't soothe them.
They wanted a mother's caresses to quiet
them and a mother's soft voice to sing them
to sleep. But Julie didn't return. Perhaps
she never read how badly George and the
babies wanted her.
Twenty-four hours passed; then George
hurried to the World office and ordered the
personals republished with this additional
one:
JU1,1E-George will be ruined unless you re-
turn; he has had to close business, as all
property is in your namo. Alfred.
Notes are coming due which cannot be
paid. There is money in the bank; there
are houses and lots, but George cannot
touch a penny, because it is all in his wife's
-name.
Oct 9 George inserted these two new per-
sonals in the World:
LTTILIE-The uncertainty of where you are is
breaking my heart; can endure no longer;
baby calls continually for you; eonie back to a
repentanthusband and your neglected babies;
letter at New Yark Postofilee, general deliv-
e17- G.
JITLIE-I told you untruths; ean say no
more; am in despair; I am awake at last
and find the world a blank without you; come
back and the future shall be as the first years
of our married life. GEORGE.
George's father also takes a hand. He
does not want to see George a bankrupt, so
"he inserts this stern personal, which he
thinks will bring Julie home :
TULIE-George has obligations to meet that
necessitate your signature at once. Doyou
wish to ruin him financially and destroy chil-
dren's support 1 All property and securities
are in your name Father-in-law.
But if Julie could withstand the piteous
appeal of George and the motherless babies,
the stern command of a father-in-law would
not move her. On Oct. 10 George inserted
no personals. He went to his wife's family
and friends. They gave him no hope. He
telegraphed to distant relatives, but their
'replies brought no relief. When he re-
turned home the babiem were crying. The
next morning the World contained the fol -
]owing:
JITLIE-Do not believe those malicious false-
hoods; 1 said what was not so and can
prove it to your satisfaction: do not break up
our home, but come back to babies and inc;
am in despair and fear for my reason; do not
let me plead in vain, but communicate with
; send for letter at New York Postoffiee,
general delivery. Geo.
TULIE-I am alone with our babies; come
*I and help me ; we have both suffered; noth-
ing is known as yet. Geo.
But Julie does not answer. Friends
_sympathize with him, but George grows
snore despondent. He tries to end his life
with his revolver, but his aim is not sure
and the bullet is imbedded inthe ceiling.
lie cannot work, he can only wander about
the streets looking for Julie. His clerks
are discharged and his office doors locked
the greater part of the time. He abandons
the newspapers for a day or two and watches
the woman's general delivery window at the
New York Post -office. He told his troubles
to Postmaster Van Cott, who gave the
mate -In -nen orders not to interfere with him.
But no letter from Julie. Newspaper re-
porters are looking for George, but he
employs men to watch the general delivery
window and carry his advertisements to
papers. Hundreds of dollars were spent,
but George only threw his money away.
Yesterday the World contained the follow-
ing
ULIE-Send for letter to -day.
JULIE -Millie and I are alone with the
chil-
dren ; cannot stand it much longer. Call
for letter at General Delivery, New York Post -
office.
Here is the story. It is commonplace
enough until the denouement is reached of
the bitterness of which the public has been
able to judge by the pitiful newspaper ap-
peals.
as. 71, 73 and 75 Jackson avenue, Long
Island City, is a handsome five -story brick
structure owned by Roswell P. Flower's soft -
in -law. The ground floor offices at 75 are
occupied by Real Estate Dealer George E.
Payne. The offices are the handsomest in
the building, and Mr. Payee employs four
clerks. He is the agent for a large portion
ef Mr. Flower's real estate on Long Island
and has a well-established business. The
income from his per centson rentals alone
amounts to $300 each month. Besides this
Mr. Payne is the most prominent insurance
agent in Long Island City, and speculates
heavily in real estate.
' The latter investments have proved suc-
cessful and Mr. Payne, although only 30
years old, is considered one of the wealthy
business men of the city. He is popular, too,
and came very close to being nominated for
member of Assembly on the Democratic
ticket last fall. He was defeated by James
McKenna. Besides this, Mr. Payne is an
athlete and has a score of , medals and cups
heavon as a sprinter several ;years ago.
'Seven years ago he married Julie Bethert,
the daughter of a wealthy Long Islander.
Mrs. Payne proved to be a thorough -going
business woman, and to show his confidence
its ber Mr. Payne made her his treasurer.
All the deeds to his real estate were made
out in her name, and even the bank de,
posits were credited to her. The Paynes
own an elegant three-story brown stone
louse at 259 Nott avenue, besides several
other parcels of real estate. They keep a
horse and carriage and live in gond style.
They have two girls, one four and the other
one year old.
Mr. Pane's bueiness keeps him Away
from home quite freqnently until late at
night. His wife complained of neglect and
finally told her husband that it was not
business, but felnale society that kept him
away so much. On Oct. ' 5th Mr. Payne
returned home about 10 o'clock at night.
One word led to another in the conversation
that followed, until Mrs. Payne accused her
hushand of neglect and not loving her.
Ile retorted, hotly:
" Have it so if you wish."
"If it were it for our children I would
leave you' " exclaimed Mrs, Payne.
"1 willtake care of them" answered the
husband.
"All right. I will go away so far you
will nova see Inc."
"1 would make her life so happy she
would not leave. It was all my,fault in
answering her so roughly as I did.
Finally George sent a letter to the General
Delivery Peeteffeco in this city for his wifes
and advertised to that effect in the Werld-
He went to PoatmaSterVanGott and readily
obtaleed permission to stand near the gen^
eral delivery window. From early in the
Montag until late at night he watched. Re
employed a detective to trace his wife's
flight, All that the deteetive could aticer-
tam was that Mrs. Payne went to the
Savings bank in Greenwood where she kept
a small deposit and drew $100. She left
$L15 in the bank, There were several
thouea.nd dollars to her credit in the other
banks'but she did not touch the money.
All the real estate and bank deposits' are
in 1?ayne's wife's name, and he cannot touch
a dollar. Elis busineas necessitates the else
of collateral security, and now he finds he
has nearly $4,000 in notes to pay without
any money to pay them. The day before
his wife left he deposited $2,000 in the bank,
but this, of course, he canuot touch, as it is
deposited in his wife's name.
The financial paa t of the matter George
cares but little about,. He has lost his
wife. His father, A. '1'. Payne, a prominent
lawyer of Long Island City, takes a (liar-
ent view of the matter. He hates to see
his son become a bankrupt, a thing whieh
seems inevitable, unless Julie returns, or
help comes from some quarter. Mr. Flower,
who has great confidence in Mr. Payne,
was informed of the circumstances, and
promptly sent word to him that he fully
sympathized with him. '
A strange featere of the case is the
secrecy with which the affair has beeti kept.
Not even Payne's next door neighbors know
that Mrs. Payne has ran away. They think
that she is on a visit to the country.
There were four clerks in the real estate
office a few weeks ago. Yesterday there
was but one. Payne himself does not go
near the office.
"I shall continue my search for my wife
until I find her," he said to a World re-
porter.
The reporter called at the Payne resi-
dence yesterday afternoon. The interior of
the house is elegantly furnished. The two
little girls were there. "1 want my
mamma," the elder one said.
Mrs. Payne is described as tall and stout,
with dark hair and eyes. The Paynes do
not believe she has committed suicide, but
are inclined to think she has gone into
ervice in some family in the suburbsof New
York.
TME BEST JOKE.
ax O'Rell Brought Joy to a Pittsburg
Swain's Heart.
Max O'Rell tells this joke in his new book,
"A Frenchman in America":
As I was leaving Pittsburg I was ap-
proached by a young man who, after giving
me his card thanked me most earnestly for
my lecture of last night. In fact, he nearly
embraced me.
"1 never enjoyed myself so much in my
life," he said.
I grasped his hand.
" I am glad," I replied, "that my hmxible
effort pleased you so Much. Nothing is
more gratifying to a lecturer than to know
he has afforded pleasure to his audience."
"Yes," he saki, "it gave me immense
pleasure. You see'I am engaged to be
married to a girl in town. All her family
went to your show, and I had the girl at
home all to myself. Oh, I had such a good
time ! Thank you so much ! Do lecture
here again soon."
And, after wishing me a pleasant journey,
he left me. I was glad to know I left at
least one friend and admirer behind me in
Pittsburg.
A Mistory Behind Three Lines.
St. Catharines Standard: A three line
item in yesterday's issue of the Standard
had hidden beneath it a story which is
seldom met with in real life. The item
read :
Miss Galt, danghter of Judge Galt, conducted
the meeting of the Salvation Army here yester-
day afternoon.
That is all it said, yet it might havegiven
the lady's history in columns. She is the
daughter of Chief Justice Sir Thomas Galt,
and was reared and educated like any other
young lady of her station. She is still
young, 26 or 27, handsome and refined.
Several years ago, while othergirlsofher age
were still thinking of balls and parties she
decided to give herself up to the Master.
She at once acted on that decision and
entered the ranks of the Salvation Army
as a soldier. All she had she gave to
the work andin the service she had
enterell she labored and lived as those
more humbly born. She was sent to
Montreal, and during the cold winter
following, her conversion, she, who had
been raised in luxury, lived in a fireless
uncarpeted room, cheered only by the grand
work she was doing. And ever since she
has lived and worked as she began, deadly
in earnest in the work of Him whose call
she answered.
Arrested in. Oshawa.
William Duplex and Joseph Maroney, two
of Gurney's moulders, were found guilty of
intimidating their fellow -workmen in May,
1890. Duplex and Maroney ran across one
of the jurymen while they were out on bail
awaiting sentence. The juryman, whose
name is John Henry, was thrashed soundly.
The affair took place at the corner of Sim-
coe and Adelaide streets. Maroney was
arrested and sentenced to eighteen mouths
in the Central Prison, but Duplex escaped.
He was arrested yesterday in Oshawa, where
his wife lives, and last; night Detective Alf.
Cuddy brought him back to this city, and
locked him tip in No. 1 Police station for
the night. -Toronto Mail.

A Maine man, notorious for his "near -
nese," lately went into a meat shop and in-
quired the price of a certain soup, bone.
The proprietor of the shop is a generous
fellow, and in answer to the old man's ques-
tion he said :
"Oh, Ill give you that."
The customer put his hand to his ear.
.He is hard of hearing and had missed the
reply.
"Can't you take something off of that 2"
he asked.
The dealer took pity on him.
"Yes," he oeiti, call it ten cents." And

R
The reasons given by the statist ician for
the decreases in the 21 counties in Ontario,
which aggregate 42,800 since last census,
are : 1. The difference in the mode of cope t-
ingthe people. 2. The movement of popu-
lation along the lines observed in every
civilized country, viz, (a) westward to the
virgin soil, and (b) from the rural parts to
the cities and towns. 3. The introduction
of agricultural machinery, doing away to
certain extent with hired help. 4. The
denudation of the forest covering. 5. The
opening. of new territory by railways. 6.
The development of mining industry.

and their experience is, valuable, as they

there quantities of clothing etc. They had
a room full of feathers, which were sent
there for pillow -making, and they were in
despair, as they could. not exterminate the
moths until they were advised to try com-
mon salt. They sprinkled it around, and in
a week or ten days they were altogether
rid of the moths. I hey are never troubled

The astronomer royal for Scotland states
that when the moon is half full its brilliancy
is not nearly one-half as great as when it
is quite full. He attributes the brightness
of the full moon to the bright streaks
which are then seen over the lunar surface,
starting from the craters. He supposes
these to be convex or concave, and largely
invisible under cross lights, and brilliantly
illuminated when the sun shines 'full upon
them.

BONUSES AND EXEMPTIONS,
Prot Ohortt, of Queen's Oellege, .40318• 0

BONUS AL OB ONE.
(Kingston Daily Nom)
S111, -I desire in this lett& to considee
the bonusing question' mainly in so far as it
atte,tet the relatione ofthe towns and cities
' one another, and thereby the general
busiaess of the country.
No doubt many who might be prepared
to admit the truth of the general position
taken in the last letter, would still find a
practical difficulty with regard to refusingla,
bonus to an industry which is quite cepttele
a supporting itself, and is thus valeable
to the city. No doubt," it might be saki,
" this industry is quite capable of
paying its own way, and in a properly
reguleted condition of things, should not
be allowed to draw an extra profit from
the civic purse. But for the very reason
thatitisabletopay its own way it is a desira-
ble industry, and if we do not bonus it,
some other town or city will, and it will be
lost to us." Now there is a core of truth
in this difficulty, and the civic corporations
which act upon it are uot without a show
of reason. But, when we look into the
present effects and future tendency of such
action, we find a 'condition of affairs which
is demoralizing, on the one hand the muni-
cipal finances of Ontario (to go no further),
and on the other the manufacturing indus-
tries of the Province.
The present system of peddling industries
up and down the country in order to getthe
civic corporations to bid against one
another, when once introduced and recog-
nized, as we must acknowledge it to be,
has
no necessary or logical limit short of
securing a bonus to every new industry that
starts in the country. Moreover. it nuist
lead to the granting of such an amount a
bonus as will almost cover the whole value
of the industry to the corporation. So long
as there is a margin of advantage left the
corporation will consider it to its interest to
pay part of that margin in order to secure
the rest. Now it does not involve a very
heavy drain en any one's reasoning power to
see that the principle is destructive of the
very foundations of society.
The economic relations of society are not
its only relations.It is not pretended that
the money, which is paid for aaticles in
exchange, is the true measure of their
importance to the individual or society.
Yet it is their commercial value ouly which
can be justly demanded or granted on
economic grounds. It would be an easy
/natter for the bakers and butchers of this
city to prove that their goods are of much
more benefit th the citizens than the money
which they receive in exchange for them
indicates. Such being the case, they might
demand that, in addition to the money
which they receive in exchange for their
goods, they should receive a bonus from
the city funds, seeing that without their
goods the citizens would perish. But every
one who renders a useful or necessary
service to the community is in a similar
position. The acknowledgment of such
claims would mean the making of civic life
impossible. No attempt is made to deny
the value and importance to a town or city
of manufacturing establishments. But to
make this a basis of bonus -granting, and
especially of civic competition for indus-
tries, is fatal to the very grounds of civic
life.
Observe further the unnaturaleffect which
this civic competition has upon the loca-
tion Of industries. One of the most imports
ant considerations in the starting of a new
industry, which may expect, to be self-
sustaining and a benefit to the country,
should be the natural fitness of the place in
which it locates for the making of the arti-
cles to be produced. Under the civic com-
petition which bonusing produces, local
fitness or unfitness becomes a matter of
secondary importance, and industries are
frequently planted in places where
they have no natural or economic
right to be. The subsequent killing out of
these by industries mere naturally situated
involves the disturbing conditions of over-
production or the final loss to thecountry of
the misdirected capital. Nothing at present
leads to so great a waste of the country's re-
sources, both civic and private, as competi-
tive bonusing; and all forms of bonusing
lead to this. So soon as the basis of pro-
duction passes from the want of the people
for the goods to the want of the municipali-
ties for the industry, economy is thrown to
the winds and there result over -production,
disturbance of the labor market, the lock-
ing up of capital in unproductive forms, the
alternate inflation and depression of real
estate values, and, in fact, a general dis-
turbance and insecurity of values which im-
mensely retards the natural progress of the
country.
Observe, too how this system of bonusing
discounts the Lure at a ruinous rate and
leads to the perpetuation of its own evils.
As I have already pointed out, every bonus,
exemption, adds to the rates of the tax- be done rightly and well.
whether in direct money grant or tax
paying citizens. But it would also add to
the normal rate of any other industry fieek-
ing to establish itself without the aid of a
bonus ; hence very few industries will be
willing to establish themselves in this way.
When they ask for a bonus, therefore, what
can the authorities say? To refuse it is
virtually to say to the promoters of an in-
dustry: "We will not only not give you a,
direct subsidy out of the city funds, nor
grant you exemption from taxation, but we
will even make' you help to pay for the
subsidies given and the exemptions granted
in the past." Is that sort of treatment
likely to attraetprofitable and self-sustaining
industries, or is it likely to encourage those

It is Especially 4Oiiiiii0li lit the Damp
Valleys.
The Milroy lectures this year were on the
neauralhistory and prevalence of diphtheria
The lecturer gave it as his opinion that soil
and geologieal formation have something to
do with its prevalence ; that it is especially
common in damp valleys, and that in Eng-
land it is most prevalent during the three
last months of the year.
The greatest number of the persoes at-
tacked are between 2 and 12 years cif age,
and the liabdity is greatest between 2 and 5
years.
Many ettacks of diphtheria are Accom-
panied by simple sore throat and tonsilitis,
and many apparently simple attacks of sore
throat have Teeny an infectious character.
The same fact has been notecl on this side
of the Atlantic.
Some physicians look on diphtheria and
scarlet fever as modifications of the same
disease, and the occurrence of both at the
same time in the same family seems at first
sight to countenance this view. But the
theory is disproved by the entire absence of
diphtheria in several thousand cases of
scarlet fever treated in the London fever
hospital.
The probable explanation of the occur-
rence of both in the same family is that the
condition of the throat in a family affected
by scarlatina affords a soil favorable for the
reception of the diphtheritic poison.
When diphtheria does occur in connection
with scarlatina, it is almost always as a
sequel to it. So, too, the sore throats due
to bad hygienic surroundings and imperfect
drainage furnish excellent soil for diph-
theritic microbes.
Many eases of diphtheria end unexpect-
edly in fatal heart failure, sometimes when
the patient has seemed in a, fair way to
recovery. In such cases a post-mortem
examination reveals a fatty and granular
degeneration of the muscular fibres of the
heart.
This fact emphasizes the need of prompt
treatment to secure the speediest possible
recovery. It follows, too, that in all cases,
until complete recovery, everything should
be avoided wheat makes demands on the
heart, a very slight effort being often fatal;
and that the physician should always make
a careful exainination of the heart, and ad-
vise accordingly.-- Youth's Companion.

Important
Facts
Please Read Them
We respectfully ask your careful
attention to this statement, brief but
important, and which we will divide
into three parts, viz :
I, THE SITUATION; 2, THE NECES-
SITY ; 3 THE REMEDY.
1st. The Situation
Health depends upon the state of the
blood. The blood conveys every
element which goes to make up all the
organs of the body, and it cai ries away
all waste or dissolved and useless
material. Every bone, muscle, nerve
and tissue lives upon what the blood
feeds to it. Moreover, every beating of
the heart, every drawing of the breath,
every thought flashing through the
brain, needs a supply of pure blood, to

Lady Mary llope. Lord Roseberry has
finished a monogram on Pitt, whicli will
probably be is very interesting work, as hie
cousin, Lord Stanhope, placed at his dis-
posal the invaluable collection of Fitt
papers at Chevening.

2d. The Necessity
The human race as a whole is in
great need of a good blood purifier.
There are about 2400 disorders incident
to the human frame, the large majority
arising from the impure or poisonous
condition of the blood. Very few in-
dividuals enjoy perfect health, and
fewer still have perfectly pure blood.
Scrofula, a disease as old as antiquity,
has been inherited by generation after
generation, and manifests itself today
virulent and virtually unchanged from
its ancient forms. If we -are so fortu-
nate as to eacape hereditary impurities
in the blood, we may contract disease
from germs in the air we breathe, the
food we eat, or the water we drink.
3d. The Remedy
In Hood's Sarsaparilla is found the
medicine for all blood diseases. Its
remarkable cures are its londest praise.
No remedy has ever had so great suc-
cess, no medicine was ever accorded so
great public patronage. Scrofula in its
severest forms has yielded to its potent
powers, blood poisoning and salt rheum
and many other diseases have been
permanently cured by it, If you want
statements of cures, write to us. If
you need a good blood purifier, take

JACK, TUE SQUEEZER.
A. Californian With a Mania for IlcmgIng
Pretty Women.
This pretty little city is greatly excited
over the work of some unknow a rascal who
catchei -women on the streets and
hugs and kisses them. Nearly
every night women walking alone
or in couples in the less frequented
parts of the city are assailed by the man.
Every one is talking about the man, who is
now known as "Jack, the Squeezer." Fie
never operates twice in the same locality,
and none of the plans to entrap hire have
been successful. He wears no mask, and
never speaks when he catches a woman. He
is a large man, with whiskers,and that is all
known of him, -Pomona (Gal.) Special in

The Matrimonial Lottery.
New York Harald: At last we have some
data which will prove interesting to the
ladies. We can't vouch for them with un-
qualified confidence because we haven't been
able to verify them, but we have do doubt
that they are about as near to the exact
truth as it is possible to get. Taking 100
as representing all the chances which a
woman will ever have to get married, we
are glad to see that they are distributed in a
very encouraging and inspiring way through -
'out her life, but of course they naturally
diminish as the years come creeping on.
Between fifteen and twenty -so says our
statistician -she has fourteen and one-half
of the 100 chances to dispose of
herself. It will be seen, therefore,
that she toys with the matrimonial lottery
busieess very early in life, or before she
has fairly cut hcr wisdom teeth. Between
twenty and twenty-five, however, she
breaks more hearts and turns her back on
more proposals than at any other time.
She has during these years fifty-two chances
out of her hundred to trample on a man's
affections and make him feel like swallow-
ing Paris green. Between twenty-five and
thirty she is gilded with the twilight glow,
and hag only about 18 per ceut. of all her
chances, and between thirty a,ncl thirty-five
the chances take a tumble to 15.e per cent.
From that time on there is very little left
except regretful memories of past oppor-
tunitiee which have been lost. The per-
centage falls to 3e; at forty, to q at forty-
five, and then, with the speed of S. toboggan
slide, it descends to one-quarter of ono
chance at fifty-five. These figures may be
sad, but they are instructive.,
