Gone to the Beyond.
The past few days have been inost
notable in the record of eminent dead.
Ex—Presidcnt Hayes, Phillips Brooks,
Justice Lamar, General Doubleday
and James G. Blaine, have all passed
to the beyond. Of them all, Mr. Blaine
in his conspicuous personality, filled
the largest place in the world’s consid-
eration. No man since Henry Clay
had sowide and so warm attachments
of his fellow men. His nature was
large and grand. His presence mag-
netic, his oratory captivating and his
arguments convincing. He was over
all and above all, an intense AMEBI-v
CAN. His lofty patriotism and saga-
.cious statesmanship led to frequent
differences with his own party leaders
on matters of public policy. This was
notably the case when he opposed the
Force Bill and entreated in the inter-
ests of the Republican cause and the
welfare of the Nation, that the Me-
Kinley tariff bill should not raise duties
so excessively high in many of its
schedules and the strenuous and al~
most pathetic appeal he made in be-
half of incorporating in that bill, the
principles of Reciprocity. His pro-
phetic predictions and warnings were
more than fulfilled in the results of the
last fall’s election.
With all his high and splendid en-
dowments, his loving heart. and great
nature, most endeared him to all who
came within his charming influence.
He was as fearless as a warrior,tender as
a child, generous to opponents, lavish-
ly helpful to the distressed and never
weary of serving his countrymen. In
such lofty service has his public life
been consecrated and his death sancti-
fied. May we not divine aprophecy,
fitting his own departure in the closing

. Appealed to the Supreme Court.
The application of Mrs. Therese L.
Meara of Stamford, from Dr. James A.
Meara of Brooklyn for an absolute
divorce, was denied by Judge Thayer
in the superior. court. The case was
practically dec1ded last Friday but
Attorney Hart asked permission to cite
several cases bearing on the action.
.Judge Thayer listened to the cita-
tions but denied the divorce. Attorney
Hart then consulted his client and filed
an appeal to the supreme court of errors.
The case is a peculiar one and will be
tested to the end as the parties inter-
ested are wealthy. '
s-The Whiskers of Columbus.
. Now comes another discovery affect-
ing. the new Columbian postage stamps.
It is made by the New York Sun, and
it is that whereas, in the one-cent
stamp Columbus is represented as be-
ing in Sight of land. and wearing a
smooth face, in the two-cent variety
twelve hours later with a magnificent
set of whiskers. »
_ As an explanation it is suggested that
Columbus either had a bottle of some
very efficacious hair restorer on board,
which his anxiety had made him over-
look until the voyage was safely over,
or that he carried along a stock of false
beards with. which to render himself
more imposmg to the natives, whom he
rightly expected were a whiskerless
race.
Still another complaint comes of
these stamps, this time from post-of-
fice employees who say that the simi-
larity of the special delivery stamps
and the four-cent Columbian stamp,
causes one to be mistaken for the other.
But Mr. Wanamaker has promised to
remedy the matter by changing the
color of the special delivery stamps to
alight orange so that they will not .be.
confounded with his Columbian plas-
ters. ' What astonishes commercial peo-
ple is that the Postmaster-General
should order the color of a permanent
stamp changed, instead of making, -
terations in the Columbian sticker,
which is here to stay but a ‘few months.-
, Mrs. Johnson.
The petition of Bee Theresa John-
son, of Fairfield, who asks the Legisla-
tureto rant her a divorce from her
insane usband, is one of those cases
which rarely arise, there liming been
only one similar in this 963156 in many
”years; The last was that of a Milford
man who a few year ago asked the
General Assembly £0 a divorce from
his insane wife and who thereby be-
came the subject of wide public ani-
madversion. Between the Milford case
and the case of Mrs. Johnson, h0w-
ever, there is considerable difference
in most of the attending circumstances.
William P. Johnson, as is alleged in
the plaintiff ’s petition, became violent;
ly insane less than five years after her
marriage to him. He was taken to the
Middletown Insane retreat about May
1, 1888, and his condition since his con-
finement in that institution has steadi-
ly grown worse. The plaintiff is desti-
tute of property and in order to sup-
port herself and two children she has 1
been compelled ever since her hus-
band’s affliction to resort to daily
labor. The calamity, as she avers, is
without any fault on her part, she is 45
years of age and unable to bear any
part of the expense of her hosband’s
maintenance: It is set forth that J ohn-
son’s condition daily becomes worse;
that there is absolutely no prospect of
any improvement; that all of the pur-
poses of the marriage contract are de-
feated and that a divorce will assist in
relievmg the petitioner of great hard-
ships, The plaintiff’s maiden name
was Walch and two children have re-
sulted from the union. -
The petitioner seeks relief through
special legislative enactment instead of
in the courts because insanity is not a
statutory ground for a divorce.

“THE KIND THAT CURES.”
O.
Awarded Five Cents.
The libel suit of George E. House of
Toledo, against-the. Findlay Republi-
can ended yesterday ina verdict for
the plaintiff, the damages bein laid at
5 cents. He sued for $5,000. The case
was one of great importance to‘news—
paper publishers, as it involved the
pomt whether a journal is responsible
where an alleged libellous article is re-
printed from another newspaper.
House-formerly lived'in Fosteria,and '
the Times of that city in December}
1891, published a rumor that the man
had more than one wife living. The
Findlay paper clipped the item and
proper y credited 'it, and- a few days
later, Without solicitation, published a
denial of the story. The same matter
was handled by two Toledo papers and
House brought suits against those pa-
pers for an aggregate of $45,000 dam-
ages. After nearly a year he compro-
mised those suits and began new ones
against the Findlay papers. In the
trial here yesterday. the defendants
presented lack of malice and their
prompt correction in mitigation of
damages. with the result as above given.
The Linemen’s Union.
,_ While somewhat dismayed by the ac-
tion of Supt. Baker of the Southern
New England Telephone company, in
compelling his men to keep out of all
labor organizations, the linemen in
other branches, telegraph, electric
light and so on, have persevered to
keep the union going, and say they
are successfully doing so, and claim
there are only four non-union men in
Bridgeport, those who recently signed
Supt. Baker’s contract. The union ex-
ists, but is not running openly and its
members fear if attention is drawn to
it, it may yet be suppressed.
The branch works under a charter
from St. Louis granted under the laws
of the state of Missouri. It is claimed
to embrace every lineman at work in
Bridgeport except the telephone men.
The officers of the branch say they
have no intention of making trouble
or causing a strike, that they are per-
fectly satisfied with present wages and
only desire to give their emplo crs
better help. Members are ’boun to
learn no one the business except under
certain conditions. A three years’ ap-
prenticeshipis required to graduate
the master workman. The number of g.
linemen here is now about 50, ow1ng,-
to the presence of two extra construe. _.
tion gangs, engaged on postal telegraph"
work, but not more than 25 are regu-
‘larly employed.
