The LONDON PoLIoE AND ANOTHER HYDE
PARK MoB.-A large meeting was held or at
tempted to be held in Hyde Park, London, on
Sunday last The object ofthe meeting, it is said,
was to promote emigration from the United
Kingdom. London, however, had just heard how
narrowly New York had escaped the fate of
some Of the tricks Of the International, very
properly dispersed the mob. We never can
60 back on popular rights, but we must stand
by law and order; and if the popular reformers
cannot work ont their schemes by legitimate
means reform must suffer in the house and
at the hands of its friends. Come what may
of our modern civilization, the mob at least
must not rule.

The suicide of Edward J. 5. GafIney, of the
Ninth regiment, is surrounded by circum-
stances so peculiar, and in their way, so
ject without word of comment. 1t shows
mind 50 peculiarly sensitive and determine
ton of madness 80 exceptional that its lesson
cannot fail to DO headed. Frcs from every
thing like drunken bravado, and apparently
UMPIRE neditated, it came with suddenness
that brought sorrow to his young wife, and yet
wiped not out the dishouor he thought he had
sustained by his absence from his regime emit on
the day of tho riots. 1t is in every way q
terrible, sorrOwful episode, in the fearful
episode of Wednesday bat it teaches that il
is always better for men aud women to look
danger bravely IN the face and go where duty
calls The Ninth regiment suffers the loss of
genial and esteemed comrade from over
wrought fears on the one hand and over
wrought remorse on the other. But it also
becoming so common in this country through
the disiointed thinking OF the age and the
want OF simple faith in the teachings of
Christianity. Il is subject for wise counsel
from priests and pastors rather taan eloquent
sernonizing, and We hope the lesson will not
be overlooked by those best able to enforce it..
PHILADELPHIA claims the distinguished
honor of being the birthplace of the new
Baltimore sensation, Mrs. Wharton, concern
ing whom the excuse of Insanity is already
being interposed II seems that while in
latter days she has been in the habit of dis
posing Of people in ''ways that are mys-
terious,' in the earlier period Of her life,
being the petted daughter of rich
Philadelphia importer, she was very gay and
froiicsome, having, on one occasion, issued
invitations to large number OF fashionable
friends and acquaintance to attend her
nuptials with gentleman who was utterly
ignorant of any engagement he had ever made
with the bewitching beauty. This was
regarded at the time as evidence of insanity,
and her father determined 10 put her ia mad

ton and suddenly disappeared, to reappear as
the wife Of Lieutenant Harry w. Wharton,
United States Army, whose mysterious death
occurred some time since, followed by the
deaths of others, including General Ketchum,
whose case is now the subject Of investigation
in Baltimore. In view OF her early ''eccen-
ricites" we suppose there will be no trouble
in putting in plea of insanity in this case,
especially Us the poor crazed divinity has the
most influential and fashionable circles in
Baltimore to back her.

The Asatic cholera has made its appear
ance in Poland. This news has been officially
announced 10y the Russian authorities. Dis
family removed as Poland is from this country
there Is yet something in the announcement OF
the appearance of this terrible scorrge In far
Off Poland which calls up unpleasant memo
ries. If we mistake not, ii was in 1917 the
plague broke out fercely in the Indies, and
after decimating towns and carrying off large
numbers Of the people of the East it slowly
continued its march toward the European
frontier, and in 1929, or thereabouts, it broke
out in Southern Russia, pretty much in the
same manner in which it now appears in Po-
land In 1880 it ragged lercely in the city of
Moscow, and In the following year nearly
the whole of Central Europe was
under its evil influence. A year later, in
1882, it made its appearance on this side
of the Atlantic. Quebec was the first city in
which it appeared, then Montreal and after
wards New York, after which the disease
spread in various directions. We make refer
ence to these facts only that they may serve to
point out to the health authorities the neces-
sity Of watchfulncss at all times and during
all seasons. The same vigilance which was
exercised with epidemics raging almost at our
very doors will protect us, 30 far as human
precautions can do 80, against those terrible
visitations from which the populations of the
South American cities too frequently suffer.
Clean streets and strict quarantine regulations
are admirable preventives against diseases such
as now aflct Poland and which has 50 recently
robbed Buenos Ayres Of thousands Of its in-
habitants.

PITTsBURG's SMOKE NUISANCE.

Prevention of Smoke by Perfect Combus-
tion-HOw Pittsburg Can be Made a Clean
City.
The Pittsburg Commercial of Saturday
says
A practical test is to be made this afternoon
at o'clock, at the coke works of Mr.. @. II.
Armstrong, in the Twelfth ward, for the pur-
pose of demonstrating to those who are skepti-
cal on the subject that the smoke nuisance can
be effectually abated in this great and busy and
smoking city of ours. Very important results
have been achieved, and it is now claimed by
Mr.. Mckenzie q well-known mechanic that he
has discovered q method of perfect combustion,
whereby no smoke is generated. His appliance,
therefore, is not strictly q smoke consumer, but
a smoke preventer.
His principle of combustion works perfectly
with our soft coal, and he is prepared to show TO
those who will take the trouble to witness his
tests, that every particle of smoke issuing from
our mills and foundries, our shops and steam
boats, can be cheapy and economically pre-
vented. Without entering into details, we may
state that the result is attained by means of a
furnace placed in front of the boilers, from
which the heat or flame is conveyed directly
under them. The combustion in this furnace is
thorough, and the heat SO intense that it could
not be applied directly to the boilers. bar of
iron placed in the furnace while in operation
will melt away almost like wax SO that it be-
come necessary to lessen the temperature
with cold air before the flame
passes under the boilers for the generation of
steam This flame is entirely devoid of smoke,
and ourl smokestacks, when this appliance
comes into general use, will cease to vomit forth
their blackness. The furnace is comparatively
inexpensive, can be managed by any one and
the economy in fuel would render it desirable
even If there were nothing to gain by getting
rid of our greatest nuisance-that nuisance
which blackens our houses, blackens our cloth
ing, blackens our persons and blackens our
civic reputation-smoke. But there are other
advantages to be gained, not the least of which
will be the opportunity to utilize all our slack,
the furnace consuming the finest coal-dust as
readily as lump or nut coal.

The Bonnet Carre Crevasse.
NEW ORLEANS, April "a Assistant State
Engineer Hatch, writing yesterday from Bonnet
Care crevasse, says:-Ii is now six hundred to
six hundred and fifty feet wide, and vast
volume of water rushes through with roar like
thunder, piling itself up in the middle in the
form of an arch, OF which the centre Is five or
six feet higher than the sides.
The torrent has cut its channel through the
front Battue and far out into the fields TO the
depth of probably forty feet while steadily foot
by foot the great levee crumbles into its boiling
waters. The closing of this crevasse is beyond
the range of possibilities, SO the next best thing
is to prevent, If possible, the widening of the
breach. A continuous sheet of water extends
from here to Lake Pontchartrain, and for many
miles above and below. This disaster is great
and deplorable, but is beyond reach of remedy,
as every one who has seen it admits.

CHLOROFORM AND THE ROPE.


Suicide of a Cousin of General Joe Hooker.
The st. Louis Times of April 19 says
About 10 o'clock yesterday morning one of the
walters at the Planters House observed man
apparently occupying cramped and distorted
position In one of the third story windows of
the building on the northwest corner of Pine
and Fourth streets: Phe mans peculiar posture
aroused the curiosity of the waiter, who called
to the porter of the building opposite to go and
see what was the matter. Upon opening the
door of room No. 1t was found that the occu-
pant had committed suicide having deliberately
hung himself.
PREMEDITATRD ACT.
The police were at once notified, and the door
barred to intruders, so that when our reporter
arrived all vas just as when first discovered.
The dead man and his surroundings formed q
undisturbed, and the appointments of the room
just as the chambermaid had left them. In the
window casing, about seven feet from the floor,
was q stout iron staple. To this had been at
tached an inch trunk strap, the loose end OF
which had been made into moose and placed
about his neck.
HIS APPEARANCE.
The man was leaning forward one hand rest
ing on the window sill, and his feet, with the
knee bent, resting easily upon the floor. There
was quiet look of repose upon his features,
and the whole position of the body showed that
there was no tension of the muscles. He had
dressed himself with care, having put on a clean
shirt and stockings, pair of pants and vest.
I1lb udlT WAS Also utaJly cOUU0u. a uauukeT-
chief was placed about his neck, 30 that the
strain upon the strap might not cause 1t to cut
into the flesh.
WHO HE WAS.
The official investigation made by the coroner
brought to light the principal facts of the mans
history. His name is j. Wacott Hooker. Upon
his person were found Masonic badges and
papers, indicating he had taken the thirty-third
degree in Masonry. He had also three insur-
ance policies upon his life, the first payments
of which were made in 1866. One was for $1,000,
in the Connecticut Mutual and was taken out
May a. 1866 in favor of his wife. The second
was for $4,000, in the New York Mutual, aud the
third for $4,000, in the same company, both in
favor of Belle Hooker, his daughter, and showed
that he was forty-three years of age.
Numerous conjectures were indulged in by the
few admitted to the room as to how the deed
was committed. The composure of the features
and the absence of all signs of struggle lead
many to suppose that the death was not simply
the result of strangulation. 1t was thought that
he had first saturated his handkerchief with
chloroform and had died while insensible. The
porter states that he had told him he was o
cousin of General Joe Hooker.
