A French paper considers that the Brussels
Conference is more likely to injure than to
benefit mankind. And with regard to the
Berlin proposal, that journalists should be
treated as prisoners of war, it suggests that
they ought rather to be forbidden access to
headquarters and to the lines. ''a.rhatf' it
continues to observe, els the only way in
which irreparable mistortunes can be avoided,
and, at the same time, that the tragedy of var
shall be protected from the frivolities and
dangerous indiscretions OF reporting trans
forming ITSELF voluntarily or not, into espion-
age.
The English reports show that under the
act of 1873, authorizing the Board of Trade to
order the inspection of vessels, complained of
as unfit to go to sea, and to detain them at
discretion-in nine months two hundred and
elghty-six ships were complained of and ex-
amined, of which two hundred and fifty -four
were detained. Only eleven per cent, con-
sequently, of the vessels concerning which
complaint was mad were unjustly stigma
TIED as unsafe. OF the two hundred aud
fiity-four, all but twenty were defective in
hull or equipment" that is to say, had they
left port without examination, the probabili-
ties were that they never would have returned.
A few days ago, says the New York Herald,
South+rner. who is not beyond the shady
side of forty-fve, was one of the band OF
prisoners in the dock of an uptown police
court and, on complaint Of a Young woman
of no considerable g.ace, was committed to
Blackwell's Island or a time. The accused,
but a few years ago, was one of the brightest
intellectual geniuses OF the South, rising
politician Of note in one Of the Carolinas, and
served as an officer in the army Of the Con-
federacy. The war ended as disastrously for
him as for others, and he sought to better his
fortunes in the North, and since the war, a
portion OF his time, held the position of
d ummer for one Of our largest mercantile
houses. Bnt three years ago, however, he
became infatuated with woman of the world,
and the twain began to lead rather suspicious
and not altogether honorable life. She soon
dlvested him OF money, reputation, position
and friends, and then deserted her lord to his
fate. Needless to add the couple quarreled
and. in defa 1t Of bail to keep the peace, the
Southerner was sent to prison. Here he suf-
tered the disgrace of confinement until yes
terday, when some kind friends, who had be-
iriended him in other days, sought and pro-
cured his release.

The jolly old settler, Jacob Norris, was
elected Police Magistrate in Rock Island,
on Tuesday, by just majority in vote Of

votes cast for Neill would have been cast
for him but for little hitch in relation to
the tickets-thus making his majority 1903
1t is quite certain that hundred majority
of all who voted preferred Mr.. Norris to
Mr.. Hull.
BY the way-Mr. NELL wishes us to rise
and explain, in his behalf, that on the
night before election he returned from a
professional engagement at Hampton, and
was informed that his name had been
placed on the ticket. On election day he
also found that the committee had deemed
it best to withdraw those tickets (some OF
which had already been given OUT and re-
print them with Mr.. Norris's name in
| place of his. He saw and appreciated the
''fx" the Peoples Party managers had in
nocently gotten into in the matter and
willingly acquiesced in it. A few votes
were cast for him in the ID, 4th and 9th
wards, tickets having been partly distribu
ted in those wards before the change was
made Mr.. Neill wishes us to say that ht
is entirely satisfied with the result and
glad of Mr.. Norris's election. Had h
been dissatisfied he thinks he could, with
out much effort, have polled votes enough
to have left Mr.. Norris behind Mr.. Hull

Fiendlsh attack upon the Memory of The
Dead

More than year ago the wife of Mr..
Wilbur F. Storey, of the Chicago Times,
died. Her physician was DIR. II. A. John
son. Some months after her death, Mr..
Storey published, over his own name, in
the Times, letter, in which he charged
Dr. johnson with unprofesslonal treatment
of the case, and with prescribing anodynes
to relieve pain and neglecting to watch
their effect upon the patient. and, through
his..neglect, that he was guilty of the lady S
death. DR.. johnson published history
of the case and its treatment, stating that
the lady died Of rheumatic inflammation OF
the heart that anodynes were necessary
to relieve the pain she suffered, and that,
instead of Fastening her death, they pro
longed her life.
The Chicago Tribune, of the Sd, con
tains long letter from DIR. johnson, il
which he reviews the case, and says:
