A Warming o Criminal. l.Ill

We should imagine that the terrible
death Of Douglas and Mosher at Bay
Ridge, Long Ialand, and the grialy sight
Of their bodies lying in the Brooklyn
Morgue, would have depressing effect
upon the gentlemen who belong to the
burglarious profession. Most undoubted-
" in east-side saloons, md especially in
the bucket shops along the river front,
the circumstance has been discussed, and
bar-rooms held cntranced by the recital
Of the dead heroes daring decd. But u
sudden stoppago of o career Of crime Us
theirs was stopped, Is apt to rub the
tinsel of the idea, II II ever existed. And
there is no doubt that q tawdry flscina-
tion is excited over a certain class Of
people blythe stories Of felony written
with such rose-colored ink by Mr.. Aims
worth and others Of his ilk. Only tho
other day the police Of PhilAdelphia
made a descent upon o cellarin which
were o dozen or fifteen lads, constituting
o Juvenile gang Of thieves, eaGh Of whom
had been originally led astray by the In.
huenco Of tho yellow covered romance o.
Of crime. Perhaps Moslier and Douglas

began, and however they have lived, 1t Il
certain that they have given In thor

Anuncle Of Michael Hogan, Of West
Troy, N. Y, died recently in Pennsyl-
yania, leaving coal lands valuedat 81, ,000,- :
900, to n portion Of which Michael Ia
heir. Forty years ago Michael Hogan,
then twenty-one years Of age, and nh
uncle, the only survivors Of once nu-
merous family, como to this country and
adopted it US their own. Michael, u
hard-worling, industrious young man,
finally took up his residence in West
Troy. The uncle went to Pottsville,
Pennsylvania, or that vicinity, and after
laboring o number of years, purchased
with his earnings large tract Of land.
Michael also saved money, and III the
course of time mid by enough to start
himself in the grocery business, III which
it can be truthfully said he has prospered.
The venture Of his uncle turned out to
be n most profitable one. The lands
purchased by him were found to contain
abundance Of coal; and by iudicious
management he gradually increased his
earthly store until ut the time OF his
death, which occurred q short time ago,
he was worth about 81, 100000. Michael
received information from an attorney
that his uncle, with whom lie had not
communicated for sixteen years, had
died, and that lie was his only surviving
heir. Michael was net at all elated at
this announcement, and appeared rather
sorry in fact TINT such good fortune Ind
come to him, says the Troy Times. He
was getting old, lie said, and would not
want so much money; besides he had
enoughfor himself, wife and daughter,
and the possession Of the immense
amount mentioned aboyo would only
bring trouble and disgrace upon his
family eventually, as young people nowa-
days did not know how TO spend money.
As we have stated, Michael is d sober,
industrious man, tind is every way worthy
of his fortune, which he intends to claim
Immediately. II he is sorry about this
little matter, hn can turn IL over to us
and we'll sheerfully bear the burden for
him.

The Spread Of scarlatInla.


at the present time, says the London
Lancet, there is considerable amount Of
zymotic disease prevalent, and we have
been visited with severe epidemic Of
scarlatina. There ia no more infectious
malady than this, and very few, II any,
more dangerous or more likely TO cripple
young life by its immediate and remote
effects on the health. The poison Is, us
every one knows, Of very subtle and
infectious character, and there Is no rea-
son-at least no valid reason-for sup
posing that BcarlAtinn arises spontane-
ously, Rlthoughitsocca development
and recurrence as an epidemic are vastly
infiuencedbycertain nconditionBoyerw which
we can exercise no control, and about
which our knowledge is relatively mex
act or one thing, however, we are we'll
! assured, namely, TINT our efforts must be
directed TO limiting the spread OF the in
fection by rigid system Of inspection,
isolation, and disinfection. Once scarla-
tina is introduced, unless IL be speedily
detected and the proper loeasures at once
adopted, the results are very disastrous.
The authorities at most Of our large
schools are 80 well awnre Of the fact that
great care staken TO guard against these
occurrences, or TO detect them and meet
them Us SOON as possible. II is to be
feared, however, now that education is
compulsory, that much unstrspected owl
arises from this source in the large
schools Of our towns and cities. In
large day schools 1t would probably be
imprncticable to secure thoroughly
efficient system Of medical inspection, in
consequence of the frequency OF inBpec-
tion and the number OF inspectors that
would be required. But we could wish
thht nil classes of the community were
better acquainted than they are with the
power they possess of stamping out a
disease like scarlatina by a uniform and
systematic method OF procedure. The
sufferer should be isolated at once, his
clothes disinfected by dry heat in an
oven, or by being boiled, or tlisinfectetl
by chemicals, and afterward washed and
freely exposed to the air. The measures
advocated by DR.. William Budd hive the
merit OF being founded on definite
knowledge Of the object in view, and Of o
practical way Of attaining II. The oiling
Of the patients whole body, the provision
of receptacles containing disinfectants
in the sick room for everything which
comes from the patient or which he Inns
used, the employment Of disinfectants by
the attendants for washing their hands;
the use, in short, Of the most scrlipulous
cleanliness-the confinement Of the pa-
tent to bed until tho process OF desqua-
niation has been completed, and the fre-
quent use OF warm baths during and
subsequent to that process, are all such
definite and common sense measures that
no one should fail to pursue them.

A Sad slght.

It WIS q sad, sorry spectacle which
tho passengers on the train from North
Adams to Cheshire saw, the Springfield
Republican tells us, and one not without
its lessons. The.early comers to the train
were met by man at the car entrance
who introduced himself as "John O.
WolcOtt, Of Cheshire, the clown, often
called tho fool" He was direct de-
scendant, he said, Of old Oliver Wolcott,
one of he.signors Of the Declaration Of
Independence, aud al nm not" he add
cd, "a Henry Ward Beechsr or q thief
or o robber; l nm only John O. Wolcott,
the drunkarl." Alas, the poor fool-for
such rum had made him-and It was
truel This man in his patched trousers,
rusty coat and eminently drunken hat,
with naturally fine face, drawn into n
silly pucker, was John o. Wolcott, the
eccentric, talented member Of the Berk-
shire Bar, and once quite well known rs
IN effective temperance orator, going to
his Cheshire home from North Adams
drunk. Alternately during tile ride he
played the clown, addressed an imaginary
Jury, or made faces at m indignant Irish
woman, who objected to his companion.
ship when there were many unoccupied
seats about her. A while ago there was
a demand that he be expelled from the
Bar, but wolcott very ably pleaded his
own case at Pittsfield; and the lawyers,
who are 10th to give up eccentric Johr
Wolcott, . refused to cast him out. Once
fayorite student of the late Judge
Bishop Of Lenox, John o. Wolcott dare
otnow 20 out OF town with more thar
seyenty.hye cents, It's said, above hii
railroad fare, lest the temptation foi
drink overcome him. He lives in O
sloyenly way, with only boy for com
pany, on the old "Wolcott place" and
this young man for whom Mr.. Bishop
predicted such q bright career, years ago,
cannot now be trusted with the manage,
ment of his own property. In his sobol
moments he Is yet o lawyer Of more tlar
average ability, and in the little cases
which are occasionally given him these
days he often displays much Of his old
brilliancy aud power. But " the boys
now like to sec sold John, as they call
him, drunk, and il he hasn't got any
money IT, Is quite the fashion to treat
him. Especially is this true at North
Adams, where the train officials say they
have seen him fighting to get away from
his friends O who would persuade him
to make sport for them over another
train. And then John O. Wolcott goes
home at last to act tile clown to car load
OF disguised, pitying strangers, rceling
OF at Cheshire station TO mike faces from
the platform till the train disappears and
shuts him cut, nn ltnsightly nuisance.

had terrible personal encounter. Itap.
pears that they had had some trouble, and
II was agreed that when they again met
they should /" meet fighting.e The
despenldo, armed with an. ax, shortly
after. came into saloon, where lie saw
Major Ferrend Eittingin his shirt sleeves.
As fhe advanced the major arose. and
drew large knife. Tho man with the
ax moved cautiously forward, holding
alopf his terrible weapon. The major
stood perfectly motionless, warily watch
ing the eyes Of his approaching foe. The
onlymoyement he made was to constantly
turn the wrist OF the hand that held
the knife, 80 TINT the weapon was cease
lessly moving and flashing back and
forth. The man advancing with the ax
at last could no longer refrain from cast.
ing glance at the weapon thus flashed
before his eyes, and the moment he did
80 the major sprang forward with the
leap Of o tiger andrtlrovo his knife, not
only through the heart Of his foe, but
through his whole body, the point pro.
iecting at his buck. But quick as had
been lid movement, his opponent was al
most rs alert the blows Of both men be-
ing struck almost at the same instant.
The handle Of the aS struck the major ON
the sh6dlder, while the whole blade.of II
was buried In the small Of his back,
penetrating and cutting one OF his kid
neys. Both men fell to the floor together,
and ler atimeit w1s thought that both
were dead; but contrary to the expecta-
tions Of all the maior recovered from his
fearful wound in due time.
