He was one of the oritjiaal â- hareboldera of the Great Eastern eteam- Bbip, was memb«r of the Honi^e of Com- moiiS for Crickdale and a prominaut Free- mason. The United States leads the world in the amount of mail matter diatriboted by the postal aathoritiea. In 1881, aooording to Malhall, the namber of pieces bandied in the United States mails was 2,243 000,000. In 1888 it bad iocreased to 3 576,100.000. In the same period Oreat Britain increased from 1 682 000 000 to 2,279,000,000 pieces. In 1881 the namber of pieces to the inhab- itant in the United States waa 45, in Great Britain 49 ; in 1888 the namber had in- oreaeed to 71 in the United States and to 61 in Great Britain. In Germany the namber of pieces per capita increased from as in 1891 to 41 in 1888 ; in Fraace from 36 in 1881 to 37 in 1888. Who would imagine that the flanne- sfairt so popular daring last heated term with a large circle of gentlemen could incur the condemnation of any body of men ? Yet it ia classed alongside of the pestilential Chinaman by President Pari ehaae, of the LaaDdrymen'x National A^ao. elation, now in seasiou in BatTilo. In his annaal addresA Mr. Faroha^e said the general condition of the laundry busiaesa had not been good. Daring the past year evt^ry bind of baainess bad anffered depres- â- iun, bat it waa probably felt mo^t by laandrymen The use of what was known aH the neglige or dannel shirt had coutri- bated largely to <hia resolt, bat its reign the speaker bt lieved would be of short duration. If laandrymen would only have patience they would soon wear their cus- tomary smiles, silk hata and probably diamondc. Speaking of Chinesn uompeti- tion, the President said : " Working by lamp light morning and night, one China- man nrdmarily did more work than three laundry girls, and, reversing the order of things, three Celestials did noieat as much •a onii girl. It was safe to assert that of every JlOO taken in by them not $10 waa over rt- turned to circulation. They were a peetilential, vicious, ron-A.merican race, robbing honest labor as well as capital, and the aasociation shoald keep the issue con- stantly ia motion." A a REikT reformation has taken place in prisons and prison management since the days when Howard, the philanthropist, was â- p«nding bis time in (Sooting the amelioration of the lot of the prisoners in British jails, but still much haa to hn done in the iniBreata of humanity to make the jatla the reformatories they ought to be and to manage them for the ultimate good of thosH detained therein as well as for their ?aniHhment in breaking the laws. The "riaonera' Aid Asaociatijn of Canada, sap- ported by thechnroh courts of thelmd and the pri'aa in general, is doing a good work in thia conneotion.

Its History Told by Cardinal BfanniDg: and John Burns. The diacnasion of the great London strike by Cardinal Manning and the labor agitator, John Burns, haa already been mentioned in the London Deapatchea. It forma the leading contribution to the October number of the New Review. Both writera, apparently by a coincidence, begin with a military allusion. " la truth," aaya Cardinal Manning, " a strike ia like a battle. No one who waa in it can givo an aciiount of it. £aoh man knowa only the events on the spot where he stood." And he intimatas that, as an oataider, he ia all the better able to form a juft opinion of it. Tbe Cardinal thinka the atrike haa done harm. It has indicted great suffering on women and children, haa brought rain among the leaaer tradeamen, and been a bar to the importation of food. He thinka that it has permanenily injured the port of London, which with difficulty aow holds ita own against Southampton, Cardiff, Liver- pool, Glasgow, and even against Antwerp and the French porta. And he hopes that a result of tbe strike will be a registration of laborers and an organization of labor. The bffiict of this organization will he to clear the docks of a great namber of un- skilled and indolent persons who year by year come into London. Cardinal Man- ning continues by remarking upon the self- restraint which has been shown upon both sides, saying : " I am bound to buar wit- ness not only to tbe self-command of the men bat also to the meaaared language and calm oourteay of the employers." .John Barns begins by remarking that he haa been in the thick of the battle, and by admitting that he ia therefo'e not an impartial witness. But he considers that be can speak with some authority us to what ho baa to say about hia own part in the event. It waa said a few weeka ago by a writer who knew Burna that Bursa had told nim that he expected to be hanged. He ia evidently a ooarageous and euergetio man, and has somewhat the tone of a fanatio. lie meets the charge of secret conspiracy by ahowing how bold aiid open his instigations to the dockera have been for years. He had been for six years engaged in this work, making speeches to the men at dawn before hia work and theirs had begun. " I myself with my wife, he says, " have freijuently left home at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning, winter and summer, tramped to the docks, ma le speuohea at three different gates, and returned to begin my day's work in the weal end at 7 or 8 o'clock. Those speeches were made sitting on wails or standing astride of paliugs. The success of the strike was due to the sympathy of the public. It waa physically possible, because Burna and bis aasociatea na 1 money enough to feed 250.000 people while the strike lasted. The various trades sent large uuntributiona and promised more. The compositors sent £500 and the eijgiueers £700. A gift of £25,000 came Australia. A sofficient supply of money having been assuted, then oame the diffi- cult iiaestion of the administration of relief. The committees had reooarseto the system of issuing tickets, presentable to the East End shopkeepers. By withholding money drunkenness was prevented. Bat they : wuiu greatly asHiatud by the good behaviar ; of (he people. "From Urst to last," says : Mr. Burns, " no man auked nie for money ' for beer. I have been in the thick of siaiviuo m.'n with hundreds of pouuda atiouc ijiu ('- .'ry hnowiug it), and nut a penny hi»vo 1 lost.

(n-. i-, but A Dootor on the Track of Boarder. a Suaplolona The London edition of the New York Herald says : There ia one man in Loudon who knows more about " Jack the Ripper" than all the policemen and detectives in the metropolis. This gentleman, who poaeesaea aufiioient material and oiroam- atantial evidence to hang ten " Jack the Rippers," ia in secret communication with Dr. Forbes Winslow. "Jack the Ripper ' is known. He is known to the police, and he is known to several other persons. The latter have supplied tbe former with full descriptions of hia peraonality, manners and habits, and at certain times there has actually been no doabta aa to his where- aboulx. The invisibility in which "Jack" is env( loped is gowing thinner, and to those who have followed hia murderous move- ments it is oertcin that Nemesis is closing upon him, and that within a period that may bo measured hia capture and identity will be effected. A gentleman, living at Brixton, called upon Dr. Forbes Winslow several timea to give information anent a Whitechapel murder, bat unfortunately every time be called the doctor waa out. The doctor is on the murderer's track. He poasesaea tangi- ble proof of identity, and ia convinced that he could effect hia arrest in a week. He means to act upon the cloesnpcliedto him, and he doea not intend to call in the assist- ance of the police. Here la hia remarkable story : A gentleman, whom be had previ- ously known, called upon him in reference to the Whitechapel mardera. " Jack the Ripper " lodged in this peraon'a hoase. He knew that it waa " Jack the Ripper " by patting two and two circnmatancea together. Suapiciona were first arouded by tbe lodger coming home about 4 o'clock one morning. He had expected to find everybody in bed, and to be able to get to hia room anobserved, To hia sur- prise, his landlord. Dr. Winslow'a informant, had been kept ap waiting for his wife, who waa on a visit to some friends. The lodger waa excited and incoherent in his talk. He said be had been having a rough time, that he had been aasaalted, and had his watch stolen ; and he gavo the name of a police station where he had laid a complaint. Upon imjairies this story waa found to be entirely devoid ot foundation. He had made no complaint, and (he police had no knowledge of a street disturbance. The man s shirt and underclothing were found hanging over ohairs. They had been washtd and had been put out to dry. He waa in the habit of talking aboat the women of the street, and wrote " long rigmarolea " aboat them. Hia wriiing, in minute par- ticulars, resembled that of the letters aent to the police purporting to come from " Jack the Ripper." Ha had a ward- robe aa extensive as a duke's. It inolnded eight suits of clothes, eight paira o( boota ^ud eight hats. The man can apeak several languages, and when be went out he always carried a black bag. Ho waa apparently well off, and never wore the same hat on two successive occasions. When he left bis lodgings a quantity ot bowa, feathers and tlowers and other arti- cles, which had belonged to the lower ulasa ot women, were found in hia room. He alao left behind him three paira ot boota and three paira of golonhes, one of each of which is now in the possession ot Dr. Winslow. Ibe boots are ordinary leather laoe-op boota, with thin col's. The goluahea have indiarubber bnttoma and American cloth uppers, and are b. sptttored with blood. Upon thiH and ntrn-r material a iii'iHt iniportaiit i;luu iii thoUi^ht to have lu u diHcuyeio I. KILUMO AN BLEPHANT. Rider Haggard has told some marvelloas stories, deaoriptive of the mixed pleasure and danger of killing elephants in their wild state, but it seems from tbe story that oomea from Berlin that it ia quite a tor- midable undertakiog to despatch one ot the monatera, with all tbe resources ot civiliza- tion at command. " Rastum " is one of the two Indian elephants presented in 1881 by the Prinoe of Wales to the Zoological Gardens at Berlin. The animal some few years ago ran hia warder thrnagh tho body with one ot hia tuaks. The poor keeper 'lied f.-om the tITects ot hia wound. Sen- tence of death was not at the time passed on the culprit ; it was deferred, and only quite recently solemnly proclaimed. " Ras- tum " waa, however, not condemned to the scaffold for this crime alone ; be ia aaid to have learned nothing from tho clemency ahown to him after the above mentioned outrage, and to have diaplayed on divera ocoasiona since that time evident symp- toms ot a wicked and depraved nature. Moreover, hia external appearance, as oompared with that of hia ool- loagaes in another part ot the elephant house, ia declared to he anything hut attractive, and to have broaght discredit on the estabishment. Some gosaipa attri- buted thia to the want of food â€" it being affirmed that he haa had to live on almost starvation rations, besidea having had hia feet in irons ainca the oommission ot hia foul crime. Be that as it may, the director of tho Zjologicul Gtrduna, after long and deliberate consideration, and after having consulted all the experts, sentenced " Raatnm " to die by strangulation. The mode of his death had also been previously carefally considered. Some proposed that he shoald be shot ; but this method was considered dangerous, lest the bullet should not talio immediate eff<:cc, or lest the sports man'a hand abould tremble and miss the mark. Others preferred poisoning, and aome suggested tbe electric current. All these propositions were rejected in favor of a prosetH ot strangulation by a three- quarter inch steel wire, livery precaution having been taken, the nooae was let fall over the monsTer'a bead at what waa aup- posed to be a favorable moment. This was when be passed oat of his half opened cage in order to anifi tbe morning air. No fewer than forty-two men were stationed in tbe vicinity to draw the noose light. Whether it waa that the dumb creature bad a pre- sentiment that theec were hia executioners, ruthleasly bent nn depriving him of light and life, or whether it was that the arrange- ments were olumsily made, tho main point ia certain â€" namely, that " Rastum," aa Boon as ho felt tbe pressure of the wire, quietly made a slight movement in the opposite direction and snapped the aab- atance that waa to strangle him as it it bad been cotton thread. Tbe exeoationera were diacomlited ; the chief officers were dumb- founded ; but " Kaatum " took no farther notice of them, and continued his promen- ade around his out of-dnor enclosure. The next attempt to settle " Ruatam " ia post- poned till after the director's retarn. TB LB GRAPHIC SUMMARY.
