GUTIERREZ'S POSITION, It is said that tled “if wishes were horses beggars might Tide” and cer-|plate of tainly under those copditions Mexico would long ago have Dbeen extricated |Yum, from its deplorable condition. For months now it has deen wobbling be- tween a firm determinaticn to set up a government and establish peace, and the continuation-of revolutionary tac- tics which have been sSo demoralizing to that republic. Bven now it is.im- possible to tell what the outcome is going to be down there for while a truce has been declared in a second endeavor to straighten things out | there is still present that disposition to foment trouble instead of encour- aging peace, In his letter to this country Gutier- rez, who is the choice of the peace convention looks with confidence upon the course which he hopes to follow. Nothing more important is needed in Mezxico than the thorbugh recognition of the fact, which he claims in his communication, that the time of die- tatorships born of violence afdd per- sonal ambitions has passed forever. Such is what Mexico has lacked and in view of the fact that it has been impossible to set up even a temporary stable government there there is a grave question whether .the time has reall; ed that Gutierrez refers to. Certainly Carranza still stands in the way of it at the present time, even * or something and when I told their origin he looked Muv!lr beatific. ‘She certainly is some cook!’ he cried.

A BAD EXAMPLE. When Bouck ‘hite, an ordained minister with a church of his own, sought to debate with the pastor ‘of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church in New York city, during the Sunday morn- ing service of the church several months ago, he set a bad example. He gave warning of his intentions and made an effort to carry them out,.but it resulted in his arrest and convic- tion on the charge of disturbing a re- ligious service, for which he served a term in jail. His sensaticnal endeavor came at a time when other similar disturb- ances were beinz caused in church meetings. Having completed his sen- tence and returned to his church, it is significant that in his first service an alleged anarchist should attempt to debate with him from the floor of the church during the morning service. As if inspired by the example of Mr. "White he sought to test him by the very same methods that Mr. White employed, barring the advance notice that he intended to do so, and, strange to say, it was strenuously opposed. There was no disposition upon the part of Mr. White to hear the man then and there. His efforis were drowned out by singing, the service ended and the fellow was dragged from | 97, B the church, and yet he had attempted nothing but what the preacher on a previous occasion had set the example for. It was only what he had encour- aged by his own actions, but which when applled to himself in his own church he was quick to suppress. e refused to take the medicine which he prescribed for and attempted to force upon enother. It was from start to finish a bad example, set by one who knew better. EDITORIAL NOTES. From Berlin comes the report that the Servians are still retreating. More strategy.

The Tichborne case—probably the most striking of all has already been discussed. Scai 1y less =0 wae the pretension that W liam George Howard was the rightfil! Earl of Wicklow, and the trial in an attempt to’establish his claims is still remem: d by the older inhabitanis of the United States. On the 22d of March, 1869, William the fourth Barl ,of Wicklow, died without male issue. His next brother, the Honorable and Reverened Fran- cis Howard, had died during the late Earl's lifetime, after being t e mar- ried. By his first marriage he had had three sons, rone of whom had sur- vived; but one son blessed his sec- ond nuptials and he claimed the peer- age at his uncle’s death. A rival, however, appeared to claim the title in the person of Wiliam George, an infant, who was represent- ed by his guardians as the son of Wi liam George Howard. the oidest son Francis Howard by his first marriage, and 2 Miss Ellen Richardson- As to the birth of the former claimant there could be no doubt, and it was not denied that the eldest half-brother had been married as stated: but the birth of the infant was disputed, and the matter was left for a triel before the House of ILords. William George Ho ried to iss ol 1863. Aupvreciating that his uncle destined to die without an hel v that it would be greatly to his advan- tage to have a son, he arranged an tricate scheme of deception. The Howards went to live with a family «f moderate means in Burton Strest. Nothing unusual transpired for a short time. After Mrs. Howard had her plans fully made she returned sudden- ly to her home one day while her hus- band was absent in Ireland, and an- nounced that she was ill and that a certain doctor be sent for. Mrs. Bloor, with whom she resided, was a party to her schemes. Mrs. Howard,had secured a child from its mother, Mary Best, a Pauper then an ocupant of one of the ly_it:j‘-in #ards of the workhouse hos- Dpital. This child, when the opportune time came, was palmed off as the helr to the title and estates of the Earl of ‘Wicklow. The House of Lords heard the evideence. OMfrs. 'Wagner, Mrs, Bloor, and her sister, 3fiss Rosa Day, ‘were placed in the witness box and #ave their evidence clearly and firmly, and agreed with each other in the story which they told. Much evidence was produced to show that the birth had not taken place, Dr. Baker Brown and another medical man deposed that they had professionally attended a lady whom they swore to as Mrs. Howard, and had found circumstances negativ. ing the story of the confinement. Louise Jones, a servant who lived in the house in Burton Street, after the birth of the infant said she had never sen or heard of its existence. After the hearing of this evidence the ca: ‘Wwas postponed. On its resumption Mrs. Howard pro- duced witnesses to show that she was in Staffordehire during the whole of that period in August, 1864, to which the evidence of Dr. Brown and other medical witnesses related. At the sitting of the court on March 1, 1870, Sir Roundell Palmer (Lord Sel- bourne), who represented Charles Francis Howard, the other claimant, produced complete evidence of how the pauper baby was secured taken to the Burton Street house, the head nurse and iwo assistant nurses beiny produced to swear positively that Mrs. Howard was the lady who took away the child from the hospital. Then Mary Best still further star- | tled the court and added mystery tp | the case hv afiirming that the child; that was talien away was not hers, but that it had been given to her while in the workhouse. and that she had fed and clothed it at her own expense. The court delivered judgment on the 81st of March. 1870, when the Lord Chancelor 2nnounced that their lord- ships had come to the conclusion that Charles Francis Howard had made out his claim, and was entitled to vote at of Wicklow; and that the infant claimant, the .son of Mrs. ¢ ad failed in establishing his He sald the real difficulty that surrounded the case | was in proving the birth of the chili| greatest romances that has ever been writian, | TRIAL OF WIGKLOW PRETENDER.|> “What do you suppose he did?

Mr. Editor: No amount of pasteur- ization will make bad milk good. By destroying disease germs, however, it will render . practically safe miik which would be otherwise dangerous to health.
