" j The Father Died - of. Broken Heart. : ' . i N.w york'SU- J i - llrs. Elizabeth Reardon of No, 2D Skillman avenua, Brooklyn, appeared in Disuict Attorney Kidcrway's office, ou Tuesday. She was dressed ia deep mourn ing,, and asked to see District Attorney Ridgway personally. She was evidently suifering. in ternally and her frame shook with sobs. One of the x atten dants of the office remember the woman as the mother of a noto rious burglar named Uecrge Reafdon, who is at present serv ing a ten-year term for burglary in Crow Hill Penitentiary .x Mrs. Reardon, who is a res pectable woman, was in court during her son's trial, and she spent an her savings and used every effort at her command to obtain his acquittal. Judge Moore, before whom the case was tried, noticed the mother's constant devotion, and when he was sentencing the son, said he was prompted 011 her aecotmt to treat him leniently, but the case had been made so strong against him and he went about the execution of the crjme in such a premeditated maiiij'jr, that he felt compelled to apply the fully penalty of the law. When he pronounced sentence, Mrs. Reardon swooned and was carried from the courtroom un conscious. ; Reardon's father never trot over the shock. He became an invalid, and four months ago was compelled to leave work, le continued to decline until his death took place on Monday night. Young Reardon 'had then spent over a year in Crow nil, serving out his sentence. t was for tne purpose of secur ing a iermission Irom the Dis trict Attorney for her son to take a last look at the body of! his father, whose gray hairs he had brought in disgrace to the grave, that the poor broken hearted mother applied .to Mr. Ridgway. J - W hen she entered his office Tuesday in her widow's wewie Mr. Ridgway knew that the poor woman had received a sec ond affliction. He passed a chair to her. She thanked him for his kindness, and drawing aside her heavy black veil, ex posed a face that bore traces of the most acute suffering. I don t come now for my son's pardon," she said. "I come to get permission for his tern- ory release to enable him to see his dead father." District Attorney Ridgway told her he would do all in his power to grant her request, but as her sou was now entirely be yond his jurisdiction, anything lie could do now would only be what his influence in that direc tion would bring about. He thereupon wrote a note to Chief Clerk Short of the Department of Charities and Correction, in which he asked him to use his influence in securing the tem porary release of "George Rear don, a long-term prisoner." Armed with the note, Airs. Reardon loss no time in reach ing the office of Chief Clerk Miort. lhattrenial omeial lis tened lo her sad tale, and. after reading the note, lie hastened to iilaee trie matter before the Chanty Commissioner, who aeted upon it promptly, and sent .Mrs. Kearuon away with their IHTiuission granting her son's release. w that lie could See his father's body. The iKHir woman went home Her husband's was to Ik buried Wednesday and she calculated 011 having her twm view it on Thanksiriving eve. Jwo keei ers were to accompany Reardou to the home from the 1'eniten- tary mid after taking a last fare w veil. lie was to be at once con- bleed back to his cell. This had been all arranged by the Charities Commissioner, but the ulan was never carried out. warden ratricic iiayes 01 crow Hill received unofficial word of the action of the Commissioners. and he at once protested against allowing Reardon to leave the orison. "it is against an ruiss or this prison," ne sam, "to auowt prisoner to go outside the walls even if he had a battalion ol keepers about him. I ant res nonsible for every prisoner here, and I cannot afford to take any nsK oy pernutuug u prisoner, pxrwviallv a desnerate. lontr termed prisoner like Reardon to go out. lt' against an prece dent and a practice which lean not permit under any circum stance. It is necessary that more official anefhigher action b$ taken in a case like this be fore a release can be secured." ; Wednesday afternoon was the timo' when Warden Hayes re ceived notice that Reardon was to bo allowed to see his father' dead body ", Mrs. Reardon in the mean timo, happy in the anticipation that her son would be under her roof again, even if it was for a few hours, made preparations for, his coming, She notified a few of her near est relatives so they would be ori hand to see "George" and shake hands with him. With a devotion and fondness that a mother alone can disnlav. Mrs Reardon went about ihese cheer ful, but at the same time sad. preparations; It was arranged that her son' would arrive when it was darkr which would be about 0:30 o'clock.'' beven o'clock came and went. but her son did not arrive. A half hour past, -still no tidings. A length, a terrible suspicion crossed the poor mother's mind. At that moment the front door bell rang and a messenger boy appeared. He came from the prison. He handed a- message to Mrs, Reardon.1 It road: "Mother The Warden savs I cannot come. Your son. ' Geokue." A sorrowful scene followed. The poor widow nearly broke down at the sad disappointment, and wept like a child. Friends crowded around and ' tried to conifort her, - The funeral took place Thursday. 1 could not act otherwise." said Warden Hayes." TIia Humble Bcc as n Motor. It is well known that the bumble bee's weight is but a small fraction of au ounce, but when he strikes a small boy in the vicinity of the eyebrow his reserve force is such as to make it appear as if he weighed a ton. A half dozen able-bodied bum ble-bees have been known to impart a motion of at least fif teen miles an hour to a whole cojmtry school, weighing in the aggregate perhaps a ton. No argument ' based upon such a misapprehension can quench mdn's ambition to fly on de monstrate its ,unpracticability. Reading Herald ; A Finauefr.l Matter. "Good ' morning," observed the tramp, casually, as he step ped in the broker's office. "S'mornin'," was the recip rocal salutation. , "You're a broker, I believe?" continued the tramp, and the broker nodded. And a broker is always ready to make a fair legitimate porcentum on any transactions he may make as an agent or middleman?" 1 ? The broker nodded again. "Good," said the tramp. Now, I have this plain business proposition to make, to wit: By the last Treasury reports the to tal amount of money available for, use in this country is $1,425, 000,000. which divided prorata among the people as enumerat ed by the Porter census by the way, yon thinr that census is perfectly correct, don't you?" Certainly I do." responded the broker, with good, strong, itepublican emphasis. "As I was saying, this total amount divided on the basis of that enumeration would allow to each person 2:1,2.1, and I, as duly enumerated, am logically entitled to that amount, am 1 1.' The broker nodded. "Well," continued the tramp "you jum seep the - that is coming to me and give me the quarter and I'll make you out a put claim, is it a go."

We were ready for the gentle zephyr 01 rebuke, but we seem to have caught on to a cyclone of defeat- Henry Cabot Lodge is re-elected, but the daises are growing over the political grave of his Federal elec tion bill. The force bill undoubtedly hurt the Republicans but for every vote which that measure deprived them of the tariff act deprived them of 500. The Republicans of the country wilt not go into mourning over the loss of Penn ylvania. It was Matthew S Quay that was beaten in that State. The more Quays any party nn the weaker tt wm be, Pennsylvania. Massachusetts Kansas and W isconsin connot exactly be called doubtful States for 18'J2. but the Democrats wil undoubtedly "put Iowa, Illinois and New HamshiYe into that list. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. GOOD TIMES COMING That Is What Jay Gould Says In an Interviews. Boston, Nov. 27. Yesterday evening a reporter interviewed Jay Gould in regard to his re cent active interest in the Union Pacific railroad. He said: mere is notning strange or mysterious about it. I knew it very intimately when it was a child, and I have merely return ed to my first love." When asked as to what his plans were in regard to western branches, he said an effort would be made to make it earn something. This could be done by a slight advance in rates. A slight advance would be suffi cient to make the road pay. He disclaimed all knowledge of a deal with president Oakes of the Northern Pacific, and could say nothing about it. I think," said Mr. Gould. 'we shall have good times in the future. The fact is, it is a good time, when times are hard, to prophesy good times. There seems to be an impression that am mixed up in about every-' thing, judging from what the apers say, but the newspapers would bo surprised if they eould see my books to learn where my investments are. This matter of investment takes strange' turns sometimes. During the, period when gold was high, peo ple hoarded up their gold and pit it away in stockings to pro- i viae against a nnanciai crisis. he low prices of stocks has had the effect to draw out this money and it is now being invested in railroad securities." Asked in regard to his inter est in a transcontinental enter prise, .he said: "There is no truth in the rumor. I don't scatter my investment. They cover a very small amount of ground." It was not a part of his scheme to obtain control of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and the Chicago, Rock sland and Pacific. "If all the stories are to be believed, I am reaching out for every impor tant road in the country," but I am not. x ou would be surpris ed if you could look into my books and see what my hold ings are. . 1 nave conhnod- my self to a certain line of policy. and the facts, shorn of embel- lshments the public have given them, indicate pretty clearly what that policy has been." lhe Wanamafcer case was referred to. "I know the pa pers say," he explained, "that went a gunning for ana- maker, but there is no truth in it. It would not be possible to corner a man as 1 was said to have cornered Wanamaker. have not bought any Reading stock. I have all I can do to take care of my own affairs without squeezing Wanna maker by buying Reading." Cautioning the reiwrters to emphasize his predictions that . 1 t t . . Al- - tne nnanciai prospects 01 me country were better than ever, he bade them adieu. Salisbury Truth: Mr. Abner Carter, of this county, 60 years of age, was summoned to attend court here this week as a wit ness in a trifling case, and it came out during the investiga tion that he had never lcen m any court before whatever, and that he had never tasted a drop of any kind of spiritotts liquors.

"No flippancy of treatmeut," savs the Keokuk (Iowa) Gate City (Rep.), "would be in place M to Mr. Grover Cleveland's Hoeech at the Allen G. Thurman banquet. It is a speech worthy the leader of a great party in its strength and misteriuine." FREE COINAGE, i . -. - i AN ATTEMPT TO BE MADE TO PASS A BIIX AT THIS . ; COMING SESSION.' The President Stirred up - ' Wuhlngtoa Btu, . ;. The workers in the , cause ; of unlimited coinage of silver are. I putting in an appearance at the'; capitol. They propose to make h a hard fight to secure the pass-" age of a free coinage act during" this session and they are rely-; ing on substantial aid from theu' democrats. During the last ges-5 sion, when Sneaker Reed's now- : . er was at its best, it was with : great difficulty that the! free ! coinage bill, which was passed'1 -by the Senate by a combination between a few republicans and."! the democrats, was kept from.j going through the House, Mr. , Reed then threw his bulky form in the way, and members of his 1 party did not care to attempt to v ride over him. In view of the result of the election and , the ,t wild demand for more monev that is bcincr made bv the far- w mers, it is not improbable that '7 the situation may become more serious this session for those who think the silver business . might bo carried too far. By Ins most determined methods it r may not be possible for Mr. ; Reed to prevent the passage of ' a free coinage bill. It is almost ,? certain that such a measure wiil . be put through the Senate, and the House may get beyond con- ' trol by the leaders of the ma- jority if the subject is brought up there. The contemplation of the possibilities and proba- uuuies 01 tne case issaiatogive the President considerable an- xiety, and he is urging tne lead ers to do what they can to keep . the matter from coming up for discussion. It is intimated that ' he will have something to say on the subject of silver in his message, to discourage any. 1 further meddling with the -matter until the law passed at the last session has been given a , longer trial. One thing count- 1 J ed on in forcing the fighting on : the election and the apportion- 1. ment bills is that there will be no time for the silver question to come up. but it is possible ' that the calculations on this " line may miscarry, for there will probably be an attempt made by the democrats to reach an agree-. ' ment with the silver republicans for the passage of a free coinage bin and the defeat of the elec tions bill. It is said, on what appears to be good authority, that the resident's vigorous message will be confined to an appeal to f the republicans to stand by their guns on the tariff, to pass an apportionment and a federal, election bill, to promote our trade with the Southern nations by the passage of the steamship : subsidy bills and to avoid fur . ther silver legislation during this Congress. - . Bct all our working people who have to wear cheap cloth- ing are not of the male persua- , sion. Surely, however. Mc- . Kinley and his fellow Republi can Congressmen were gallant -enough not to attack the ladies' ' dresses. Not a bit of it. Tho ! advance authorized on ladies'- -.

On buttons. linings, trimmings, etc.. the ad vance is in like proportion. The effect is that on a woman's or- linary plain outfit there will in ls;l be an increase over 1889 of alnmt 1' which has been tho price heretofore now Increased of a common serviceable shawl. The result will be that. while many a working-man goo around without his winter over-coat, his wife will ' either have to go about shawlless op stay in-doors. Belford Maga sine.
