March- 26, the following case of local interest came up: . In Edgar M. Arnold vs. Alex. Trimble, a case arising in Saratoga, the motion was to recover moneys lost in gamb- ling in 1887. It appeared that the plain- tiff desired to set up the game at which the money was lost, the amount so lost and the fact that the action was com- menced as the statute requires within three months after losing the money. The defendant set up that he had twice moved to have the complaint made more definite and certain, and had even offered to pay all the amount claimed rather than bother with the suit. The motion for leave to amend was granted on payment of $20 costs to defendant. Arnold was a clerk in a Broadway grocery store, and the defendant con- ducted a saloon on Railroad Place at the time of the alleged crime. The plaintiff brought several actions to re cover moneys which he claimed to have lost while gaming and this is one of them. In this instance he sued for $204, but Tuesday changed the amount to $60 to conform with the stf^tutes. Esmond Stiles for plaintiff, W. H. Mc- Call for defendant. Real Estate Transactions* The Saratoga real estate office. Conk- ling & Knapp, report the following real estate transactions : ^ They have sold for A. BvBissell of New Haven the property on Caroline street occupied by J. L. Lucas to D. E. Darrow of New York, and have rented for the season the following cottages: F. H. Hathorn'a, on North Broadway, to Simeon Borg, the New York banker,' who occupied it last season. E. T. Bracken's, North Broadway, to fl. G. Ludlow of Troy, N. Y. L. C. Lincoln mission Rand Meets With Great Success. The young people of the Presbyterian church of Ballston Spa do themselves proud in all of their undertakings, and the entertainment in Gould Hall, on Tuesday evening, March 26, under the auspices of the L. C. Lincoln mission band, proved no exception to the rule. It was a very pleating affair through- out and the credit for it may be shared alike by the performers and the ladies who had assumed the task of bringing it about and their ef- forts aided materially in its success. The program opened by the singing of the chorus, "Forest Festival," by the members of the band, followed by a piano duet, well rendered by Miss Katie Williams and Miss Lillie Arnold. A new, and rather novel, feature is what is called the "Circulating Library," in which about sixteen young ladies and gentlemen took part. Eaoh person represented a character in some of the famous literary works and on their backs, in view of the audience, was in- scribed on a placard in prominent let- ters the name of the work. They were in charge of Prof. T. C. Bunyan, who made each one the subject of pungent and humorous comment. Just as he was bringing his remarks to a close the entertainment was suddenly interrupted by a most uproarious noise and loud talking, at the enterance to the hall. The ushers jumped to their feet ex- citedly to ascertain the cause of tne commotion when they encountered Josiah Allen and his wife,-Samantha, who had come to see the show and "nobody was agoin' to stop them, by gosh!" Before the auditors had re- covered from their surprise Josiah and his wife were on the stage recounting there experience on their way up from Jonesville. Al- though well disguised it was whispered about that they were Laurie Gro3e and Miss Dora Miller. However, their Im- personation was excellent, and created much amusement. The next was entiled "Squeer's Boarding Scbool." One ot the most pleasing features was the singing of the '•Morning Invitation," by a sextette, composed as follows , The Misses Clara L. Hoyt, Lizzie Munn, Anna, Vandecar, Libbie Oatrom, Dora Miller and Mar- garet Feeney. "The Silver Sixpence" was so well recited by Miss Jennie Clements that she was ac- corded much deserved applause and was followed by a piano solo by Miss Lillie Arnold who also received a good meas- ure of approval from the audience. The last was an exhibition of wax works and ' 'The seven old ladies of Lavender Tower," in which the following took part: Misses Anna Vandecar, Edna Keyes, Fannie Seabury, Dora Miller, Lizzie Munn, Lulu Frisbie and Mrs. T. C. Luther, Messrs. C. A. Taylor, Rich- ard Feeney, Garrett V. S. Quackenbush, Henry Moore, Harry Hunt, Will Feeney and James H. Leach. All sustained their parts well. Miss Clara L. Hoyt as the Duchess was exceptionally fine. Mr. B. G. Washburn made a capital "ex- hibitor" and displayed not a little tal- FIEECED BY TWO "CROOKS." • r WARREN M00RH0USE AND HIS COUSIN BANKRUPTS. New York Sharpers Work a Successful Game —The Dupe Paid $300 for a Brick—His Home Was at »Upper Jay." The lottery business, it is said, is working very quietly but successfully in Saratoga Springs. The Glens Fails Star of to-day tells an instructive tale of the results of a desire for illegal gain. It says: "Warren Moorhouse, an Adi- rondack guide, living at Upper Jay, re- ceived a letter the other day from New ent in his performance. DEIfllSE OF A YOUNG WIFE. 71 r*. Dennis Hloynelian Passes Away ai Saratoga. Mrs* Dennis Moynehan, formerly of North Creek, but recently of "Newcomb, died at Dr. Grant's sanitarium, Sara- toga, at 9 o'clock last night, of diabetes, aged 27 years. The deceased was taken to Saratoga on Monday for treatment, but her case wad hopeless, and she sank steadily until the end. Her husband his brother, P.

The remains will be taken to the home of her father, John Anderson, at Weavertown, to-day.

York, informing him that he had drawn $10,000 in a lottery, but that he must pay $300 to entitle him to the prize. He did not have the money, but he induced his cousin, Mrs. R. M. Neal, to raise the amount by mortgaging her household furniture. For her loan he promised to give her half of the prize, $5,000, and she agreed to reward the mortgager by a gift of $100. Mr. Moorhouse went to New York, and, according to previous arrangement, met the "agent" of the lottery company at the Grand Union hotel. HE CARRIED A "SHOOTING IRON." The agent told Moorhouse if he had any fear that everything would not be all right he might take a couple of men along with him. The representative of the Adirondacks, who tips the scales at two hundred pounds, and carried a "shooting iron," declared that he was able to take oare of himself. Thereupon the twain left the hotel. A short ride on the elevated road brought them to the "company's" place of business, where Mr. Moorhouse was introduced to one of the "partners" in the con- cern. He was then required to sign several documents, and the money was produced. THE SEQUEL. Moorhouse spent several hours count- ing $10,000 in crisp, new bills which were placed before him; paid over the $300 he had brought with him, and was about to pocket the prize, when the "agent" suspected that it would not be wise for Moorhouse to carry so much money in his pocket. In fact he would get knocked down and robbed before he had gone two blocks. The sharpers advised him to put the money in a box and have it expressed to his home. He accepted the suggestion. They placed the bills in a box; tied it with cord, and marked it. One of the sharpers helped him on with his overcoat; weut to the "express office with him; took a receipt for the box, and bade him good day. When the box reached Upper Jay Moorhouse found it contained only a brick, carefully wrapped in paper. He and his cousin, Mrs. Neal, are now a bankrupt firm, and he will have to hustle around and charge th city nabobs extra prices next season to get himself on sound financial basis. OUR FOREST*.

Unless such legislation shall be secured, the devastation already be- gun will go on until the great benefits of these wooded hills and valleys will have baen swept away. We trust our senator and member of assembly will cordially unite with us In this effort. The most practicable scheme suggested is for the state to buy or protect the en- tire Adirondack region. The Oswego Daily Times, in an article on arbor day, which occurs Fri- day, May 3, says: The imprudence and folly which have stripped many of the most fertile portions of the state of New York of its fine old forests are greatly to be lamented, and it is time some steps were taken to counteract the evil. * * * Arbor day should be- come a "great day" In this state, and we hope from the public sentiment it will create some of the profligate and reckless folly in denuding the state of its forest may be in a measure counter- acted. The Forest and Stream publishes the petition in full, and says among other things: No inspired vision is required to tell what is going ' to happen in the future with respect to the North Woods. The work of destruction will go on there. Successive legislatures—en- grossed in jobs—will shirk their duty in this matter, and the people will blind their eyes to the state of affairs. Then, when the ruin shall have been wrought, and it shall be too late for reparation, the awakening will come. Meanwhile let the publio comfort itself with the thought that the forestry commission Is catching deer in the Adirondacks for stocking a deer park in the Catskills. If the people of t h e s t a t e <of N e w York will turn out en masse and chase these deer they will be q^ite oblivious of the railroad invasion and forest de- struction of the North Weeds, and need feel no worry over the ruifi impending.

LONDON, March 25.—In the house of com- mons to-day, Mr. W. H. Smith, the govern- ment leader, with much emotion referred to the death of Mr. Bricrht. Mr. Smith said he | would postpone his remarks on Mr. Bright un- til next Friday when Mr.\jladstone, who was called to Scotland by the death of his brother' could be present. Mr. John Morley thanked Mr. Smith for his consideration In regard to Mr. Gladstone's presence and said that the latter, who was the lifelong friend of Mr. Bright," would be grate- ful. Tbe Kiglit Hon. John tJrignt, M. P., was a sou of Jacob Bright, of Greenbank, near Rochdale, England, and was born there NJ>v. 10, 1811. His s c h o o l education covered only the ordinary rudi- ments, and, enter- ing his father's bus iness, he became a member of the firm of John Bright & Brothers, cotton spinners and manu- facturers. He was still a young man when he began JOHN BRIGHT. making speeches on social and politico-economical topics. He went to Palestine in 1885, and lectured at home on his tour. He had been concerned in the reform agitation in 1831-32, but did not distinguish himself until 1839, when he joined the Anti-Corn Law league. He was defeated for the city of Durham at a bye-election in 1843, but three months later (July), when Lord Dungannon, his successful opponent, was unseated on petition, Mr, Bright was elected. Ho sat for Durham until 1847, when he was returned for Man- chester. Ho was extremely active, in and out of parliament, in advocating the princi- ples of free trade and inquiring into abuses at home, in Ireland and in the colonies. In 1849 he was on the famous house of commons committee on official salaries. His co-opera- tion with Cobdedr^in favor of reform in national finances is well known, and his op- position to Lord Palmerston (foreign secre- tary) and welcome to Kossuth. Lord Derby's ministry accepted free trade, making agita- tion on that subject unnecessary. Mr. ^Bright^s opposition to the. succeeding Aber- deen ministry (L«5*.i), concerning the war wjth Russia, was interrupt.d by illness, and be was debarred from exercising his rights in parliament for some years. of Prominent Appointments. Robert Todd Lincoln is the son of the late President Abraham Lincoln and was born in Springfield, Bis., in 1843. From a local school he was sent to the Illinois State university and thence to Har- vard in 1860, where he graduated i n 1864. He entered the army in the winter of that year as a captain on Gen. Grant's staff, and took part in the operations which resulted in the surrender o f Lee at Appomat- tox, at .which he was present.

Young Lincoln resigned his commission in the army and entered the law firm of Scammon, McCagg & Fuller, In Chicago. He haspon- tinued to practice at the Chicago bar, with some interruptions, ever since. He went to Europe in 1872, where he remained several months. President Garfield appointed bim secretary of war in his cabinet in 1881. Since his retirement from that position he has fre- quently been mentioned as a possible presi- dential candidate. Mr. Lincoln is married to a daughter of ex-Senator Harlan, of Iowa. Murat Halstead is one of the best known figures in American journalism. He was born in North Carolina in 1830, but moved to Cincinnati with his parents in 1843. He be- gan life as an office boy and then be- came a reporter. L a t e r he entered HOPE.

The overthrow of Lord Palmerston's ry (1857) on the Canton ques- urred while he was in. Italy, and he returned by Manchester at the en- general election. He was, however, Invited to stand for Birmingham upon Mr. Muntz's death, and was elected in August. He has sat for Birmingham ever since. From this time on he strongly advocated electoral reforms, extended suffrage, etc. He sided vigorously with the Union during the American civil war. He was enthusiastic- ally received in Ireland and Scotland (1866- 68), and became president of the board of trade in December, 1868, in Gladstone's first administration, which succeeded Disraeli's first brief lease of power in that year. Hi health drove Mr. Bright from office In 1870, but in August, 1873, he became Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, an office which he held when the Liberals, defeated at the beginning of 1874, re- turned to power in May, 1880. The bombardment of Alexandria, the most sensational incident of a policy in Egypt which led many to blame Mr. Gladstone, sent Mr. Bright out of office on July 17, 1882. He opposed the premier also on the Irish home rule bill, which defeated the next Gladstone ministry in 1886. His speeches had much to do with the resultant dissolution and the return of the Tory-Unionist majority now in power. Since that time Mr. Bright has been too ill, most of the time, to take any part in public affairs, but has several times, in forcible letters, given his support to the Salisbury administration and the coercion policy. Nevertheless, recent courtesies have been exchanged between him and Mr. Glad- stone. Mr. Brigm's death has been looked for for some time at One Ash, his home. MURAT HALSTEAD. THE FISHERIES' TROUBLE.

How lightly will Hope's morel Leave us when life's noonday Beams Upon our heads shall fall; Tis her bright dream alone that deems That future life with riches teems And strives to grasp them all. Though chilled by storms of changing hfs And wounded by the darts of strife, On lowly cot she lie; Though tyrants rage and fate should mock, She will recover from the shock, And not entirely die. Her star still guides the sailor's eye And sweetly soothes the maiden's sigh. And binds them soul to soul; A something in the human breast That will not sleep, that cannot rest, Nor yield to fate's control. Upon life's path it is the light That guides each traveler aright, To every soul tis given; It Is the Christian's light divine, And on his path will ever shine To guide him home to heaven. —J.
