In spite of the abundant and oven conclusive evidence whlcbrmfght I e col lated w prove tfieVnlueleasneflsand un truBtworthin'ds of dying declaration, thero remains a geneial sentiment which staapa such .statement with tbe seal of veracity, the foea befug ex nreBsed eeiaierally by- the conventional phraso that a man J not likely to pass into the presence oflila Maker with a lie on bis lips. This current notion has received an Illustration lately In the case of Dr. T. Thatcher Graves, the .man accused of the murder of Mrs. Joaephlne Barnaby who oommltted aulclde on Saturday night In the Jail In Denver, leaving be hind blm a letter to the coroner ana an address to the public, asserting bla in nocence of the murder of Mra.Barnaby, It is a foregone conclusion that many people, If not a mnjorlty of the people of the United States, will make this dy ing declaration outweigh the sworn tes timony of witnesses and the cumula tlon of clrcumstatitlal evidence which tended to establish iho guilt of Graves and will aid to put him in the rank of martyrs rather than murderers. Such a conclusion Is certainly Illogi cal, to aay the least. Why "should a man who deliberately makes up bis mind to violate the canon of the .Al mighty against self-slaughter be en dowed posthumoualy "with the virtue of veracity? The mau whose easels under' consideration seems to Jbave been possessed of an eagerness to get himself or hla memory before the public, ana Instead of awaiting his vidicatlon by means of a second trial, took the case into bis own hands and left a dying declara tlon which bo hoped to have accepted 83 proof conclusive of his innocence. We make no attempt to pass upon th8 guilt or innocence of Dr. Graves. All we seek to do is to point out that his dying declaration should not be re ceived as evidence, and that the com mon notion of peculiar sanclty attach ing to suoh statements Is wholly falla cious and mistaken.

This winter will witness what may bo termed a' wave of economy, which bids fair to make it fashionable to be poor. In the first place, with an army of unempldyed in all large cities clam oring for work, with whole families wanting bread and shelter, and with banks timid and dividends curtailed or ntnnned. the rich will naturally bo In- lnclined to make less display of tb'elr wealth, even If they are fortunate enough to-bave any available. To this must be added what may not Inaptly be termed an epfdemic of economy, which seems to have followed closely on the footsteps of the desire to with draw mo'ney from saving bauks or hoard It in safe deposit vaults and otherwise.

"By tho way, Mr. X.," she said pleas antly, "people call you a drummer, don't they?" "Yes," he responded, "but tho name Is not-fair. I am a traveling man." "I think," she smiled softly, "that drummer' is correct." "Why do you 4 think so? "Traveling man expresses it much better." "In some instances possibly," she said, gazing intently at the clock, "but not for you you don't travel." And ' he looked at the clock himself' and next day sent her a lovely basket, of flowers.
