The Parnell Times Case. sii
The London Conservatives are seriously considering the question of raising a fund to assist the Times ia its case before the Parnell Commission, and in defeating the action brought against it by Mr. Parnell in the courts. The advocates of this plan base their cause upon the ground that it would be eminently unfair towards the Times to permit that paper to bear any further share of the enormous costs neces- sary to fight what is really a party battle, and this idea beiag impressed upon the minds of the moneyed Tories it is expected that the contributions offered will greatly exceed the sum required. Itis suggested

that at least £20,000 should be raised, and the action brousht against the Times by Commissioner Campbell, of South Fer- managh, willvery much stimulate sub-
scriptions. The tories regard Mr. Camp- bell’s action as proof that the Parnellities

The Whitechapel Murders.
Much importance is attached to the arrest at Belfast recently of a bloud-stained man With a razor and kuives on his person on suspicion of being the Whitechapel murderer. It was known beforehand that letters tu editurs of newspapers, was actual- ly in Belfast on October 9. He wrote from London to the editor of a Welsh news- Pwo days afterwards he wrote to a Belfast editor, the envelope bearing the Belfast postmark, ev idently by the same, and the paper daubed over with red ink to iinitat Since the evidence at the inquest about che handwriting on the wall the identity o the murderer with the writer of these letters is generally believed.

colored were Mary Ramey and Grace Vance, and the white women were Mrs. Haneock and Mrs Eula Phillips ‘hese murders nave nevergbeen explain- wd, the assassin leaving no trace whatever to identity him. There was a terrible sitnilarity between all the crimes. Nearly mil i wus were kilied about midnight a usualiy within a few days of full moon, the murderer seeming to select moonlight mgats tor his dreadful work. All the vic- tims struck with some sharp instru- Ment ou the same side of the head.

On reading the accounts of the Whitechapel murders the citizens of Austin recognized a striking similarity to the crimes committed there in 1885, and

She was lying in the basket, covered with a good supply of flannels, etc., and staring and grinding her teeth at the peo- ple around. She cannot speak nor walk, but can see and hear, and is about three feet in height. Her limbs, said the father, were about the size of a man’s thumb and her left arm is paralyzed, the hand being tightly clenched. The family had been in /Quincey, Mass., all summer and were re- turning to their home ia Nova Scotia. The girl appeared to act as if she was in great pain continually moving her head about, grinding her teeth and sending forth at times a shriek which called out general sympathy for her.

ic will, I imagine, be generally conceded that our annual exhibitions are matters of considerable importance. They give a stimulus to industry —certainly not as regards the cash value of the prizes awarded so much as the honor gained, It is all important, then, that even-handed justice should be meted out to all, that merit should get its due. The judges in the several departments should be above all possible suspicion as regards skill and im- ‘The very appearance of evil” should be shunned in every case, | Parties having any interest in the candi- dates should have pride, if not honesty, | suiticient to decline offering an opinion which, however honest and correct, might savor of self-interest. Especially is this so
SIR,
more especially so when from the country. It is unfair to have city folk, or a majority | of them, acting as umpires between parties | hailing from both, and vice versa. }
There isa lady from the country who} has been awarded first prize for mats every | time she entered—seven times in all—until this year. Her mats, this year, were pro- nounced marvels of skill and rare artistic design, more so than any previous year.
Strange to relate, however, they were passed over, and the prize was awarded to mats, 12 inches by 18, not hocked but made by the darning-needle !
it would be as fair to decide between satin and cotton as between the above articles. The mat hook and the darning needle are vastly different as to materials produced, and the placing of both in com. petition is as unfair as it would be to place jewelry in contrast with steel or iron, or embroidery with flannel. Will the judges Again,
daughter of one of the judges.
if skill, talent and industry are to be jadged of inthe same lines of work and material, Mrs. Fraser deserved, and honestly earned, first place. Lf mats are to be made with needles, by all means let the fact be announced, and parties inter- ested can govern themselves accordingly.
This anomalous and indefinite way of doing things won’t work. When justice is expected honest effort can be made, not otherwise. The country ladies are not afraid of fair, honest competition, but it dampens their energiés to be treated in the fishy manner above described.
