Sky Scrapers. d “Hold-up” on the tenth floor of a Chicago building suggests that if sky- scraping buildings are to become com- mon in our large cities it will be neces- sary to police each floor devoted to the sale and storage of valuable goods of any description. A policeman on the street might as well be in Texas or Guinea so far as protecting the goods of a tenth floor diamond dealer is con- cerned, and it is a wonder rather than otherwise that the “hold-up” game had not been worked in the sky—scrapers long ago. Tall buildings have some advantages, but they will require an application of the police system pecular to themselves if they are to be safe for the transaction of busires in valuable goods and wares. Easy Divorce. Here is what ex-Judge Scott says on the subject of divorces, and it is a ter- rible arraignment—all the more terrible because it is truthful—of the methods by which separations are constantly effected :— The abuses that have grown up and that will continue to thrive so long as we have in force in the various States of the Union, lax and often imperfect and conflicting laws on one hand and stringent and almost prohibitive laws on the other. may well excite the deep- est concern and awaken all the great l'orces of moral reform that exist in this country. If all the frauds practised in obtain- ing divorces in the United States and the consequent misery and suffering of innocent and helpless Victims should be published it would shock the moral sensibilities of all Christendom. That is exceedingly strong language, but it comes from the pen of a man who weighs his words and speaks de- liberately. - _ There should be and there must be in the United States a certain uniformity in our laws which will reduce fraud to its minimum. There is no other way out of the difficulty, and the sooner we face that fact the better it will be for all concerned. ._ ‘ ‘ Gold Again in Circulation. The presentation of gold coin for ex- change into currency in all the business centres of the country should be a most impressive lesson to those who have been deluded by the cheap money heresy. This taking the gold from its hiding place has not been done by banks, or other corporations, or by speculators; it has been done by the great mass at the people who had quiet- ly put away gold to protect themselves against the possibility of Bryan’s elec- tion to the Presidency. This lesson comes from the American people and not from the money or monopoly centres of the country, and itis a fair reflex of the general senti- ment of the people that there would be uncertainty and necessarilly a want of safety in our financial system if Bryan were elected President. Whenever his defeat was announced by a large ma- 3 irity, gold at once became no more valuable than any other form of money issued by this government, and it has been brought out from its hiding , places to such an extent that in Balti- more the A~sistant Treasurer of the United Stairs could not furnish cur- rency enough to exchange for the gold presented. The country is now safely on the goll standard basis along with every other civilized country of the world. 'l‘he issue is settled not only for to-day, but for all time, and henceforth the American people will never permit any party or any demagogic leaders to sue- ceed who shall assail the integrity of the ltepublic. ‘ ' . .»———— Cards are out for the marriage of Clinton Barnum Seelsy of Bridgeport, ,grandson of the late P.

She had made arrangements at the office of the steamer in Glasgow to telegraph her the hour to be decided upon for the sailing of the ship she intended to take. Then she partook herself to Highland wilds in peace. She re- ceived no telegram, but on the day set for the sailing of her steamer she ar- rived in Glasgow, and after leaving her baggage at a hotel went to the stoanicr’s office to make inquiries. She was told there that the boat was even then leaving the wharf at Glasgow, but by taking train to Greenock she might overtake it at the port. She rushed back to her hotel, saw her bag- gage dashed upon a cab, caught the train for Greenock, and got there in time to see the ocean liner pulling splendidly out to sea. She beckoned to a man with a small tug, declaring that she must catch the steamer, and in a few minutes more was steaming madly :ifter the‘big ship. The Captain stopped the liner at the frantic gestures of appeal from the men on the tug, and the Chicago girl was helped over the side of the steam- er, while the captain stood by and made a few remarks. A little later the new passenger found herself lock- ed into her stateroom by the steward— ess. She rang her bell, got her key from the” outside from the steward, who answered the hell, and when the ship‘s doctor came down to see the passenger believed to be insane he found the door locked on the inside. Then the captain came, and at his thunderous order the Chicago girl un- locked her stateroom door. The Cap- tain‘s demeanor was not childlike nor aloud, and his language was suited to sailors in a storm. But the Chicago girl stood her ground. She explained through the blue-streaked air about the Captain that she was no more insane than he was, and that she had a per- fect right, in her opinion, to stop an ocean liner. She had engaged hcr passage on that particular steamer. This was her own stateroom. The company had broken faith with her in not notifying her of the hour of sailing, according to the express agreement of ,the company’s servants in the Glasgow office. But she had not broken her faith with the. company. She had agreed to sail on that particular ship; she had paid her assage weeks before; she was now sailing on it, the Captain could not deny that! And it had cost her a good deal extra to catch this steamer, too! That last straw broke the back of the Captain‘s anger, and his stern face melted into a smile. He made. friends with the Chicagoan and treated her with distinguished , consideration dur- ing all of .the voyage to New York. What she paid the man on the tug the lady never knew. She declared that she gave him whatever she had left of British coin before she began her now historic scramble up the side of the ocean liner.
