He Immediately went Into bankruptcy, and application followed for leave to prosecute him for olTcnscs under tho I.KDMK niABKIt DUNCAN, debtors' act, Mr. Duncan, when brought up on examination tho other day, stated that from 1H70 until quite re cently ho published a paper called Tho Matrimonial News, and that his av erage Income from thu sheet had been $10,0(10 per j ear.

When the exposure and collapse of thu business occurred not long ago ho realized on his nssets fclO.tXXI. which ho "gave away to two ladles ns a freu gift." At present he was worth nothing and could not satisfy tho Judgment obtained by Miss Knowles. After hearing this story the magistrate sent Mr. Duncan to Jail, where ho re mained until ho paid tho amount of thu damages -X(I,(XK). Tlio scandal has stirred up (pllto a healthy agitation In Kuglnud, for It has brought to public attention tlio methods nnd prollts of a vocation that nourished at thocxMjusouf tlio romantic, thu silly mid tho weak minded. For a score of years tho man Duncan "lived like a lord" on "personals" and fees obtained from scheol girls, ancient maidens mid Im presslonublo widows who desired to get husbands. Men also contributed to tlio prosperity of Tho Matrimonial News of course, hut it is doubtful If morn than a small minority did so with honesty of pur pose. Tho majority of tho wife seekers de sired tho acquaintance of women with fat bank accounts, and when they saw thu gray liearded middleman tho ensuing con veisatlons woru notsentlmental, butstrlct ly buslnessllko. The result would bo agreements something like this: For one tenth of thu property secured through mar rlage Mr. Duncan contracted to make Mr. A. ac(ualnted with Miss B., the heiress, and to further the match to his utmost, tho fee to lie paid within ten days after I lie wedding. Tho compact signed, sealed and delivered, the wooing sped smoothly on to the church door. So Mr, Duncan went on, leavljig behind him a long trail of wrecked lives and uu happy unions, for it is a pretty well estab lished proposition that no marriage is a success that lias not mutual esteem as tho prime reason for the compact. The venerable Iindonor, however, Is not the only ono who lias grown ricli by the methods Indicated above America has matrimonial agencies as well as Knghuul. Some, doubtless, are conducted with hon esty and fairness, but In the main little thought Is given to consequences as long ns the dollars How Into tho pockets of tlio go between.

First, the percentage of Increase has been less than in any previous decade (the war era excepted), though the Increase by Immigration has liecn tw Ice as large. De ducting the 1,700,000, or about that, of Eu ropeans located in the north since 1880, It would appear that tlio natural increase has beeu but 1!J$ per cent., or a fraction o or 1 percent, u year. This is less than thutof (Jrcat Britain, where the natural Increase is uy, per cent, iu a decade. The Knglish system of having an elec tion for member of parliament here and thereat odd times strikes an Aineriuin as very peculiar.

It Is painfullyiipparont from what they have already said that thu other olll cers condemn Mr. Stanley for niaklngsuch ifotts charges against MnJ. llarttelot, though they do not entirely exonerate tho latter.
