Micro MURDERERs HANGED. Justice by
the rope was yesterday done on two negro
murderers, one in Alabama and one in South
Carolina. Both men had well merited tho
doom they met, and, though one denied
his guiltup to his death, there is no reason TO
doubt that he was justly punished. We are
glad to notice that in the South justice is
speedily executed on murderers who happen
to be- caught There is no I'M
healthy sympathy for the criminal
who is sent to his doom while the memory Of
his crime is yet fresh in the minds of the
people. In this way only can the death pen
atty be made to exercise to the fullest ex-
tent its deterrent influence on the ignorant
and brutal. 1t is TO be regretted that sim
liar healthy feeling does not peryade this
State. We have too much sentimental ten
derness for murderers and not enough for
their victims

CHINA AND JAPAN.-There is some danger
that the peaceful relations which have
hitherto existed between China and Japan
may be broken. Both nations desire to
maintain possession of the Corea, and
diplomacy fails to settle the question.
Japan maniiests a disposition to appeal
to the arbitrament of the sword. It is
to be hoped that European and American
diplomats will exert themselves 10 prevent a
rupture that might arrest the progress of lib
eral ideas in the East. Through Japan Euro
pean civilization has the best chance of find
ing entrance into China, and a quarrel be-
tween the two nations would undoubtedly OBJ
ancient Empire, which must always exert q
potent influence over the destines of the East.
Our Police. Sarah Martin, charged with
shooting at a police officer who, she states
attempted to outrage her while under
arrest, was yesterday discharged by the
Recorder. In setting the girl free the
Recorder remarked that he did not feel
called upon to punish her, as she evil
IDENTIFY acted under such au acute sense of
wrong as rendered her irresponsible for her
acts. Somehow it happens that all charges
brought against the police arc groundless-at
least, the accused can always get witnesses to
swear they are angels-and conviction be-
comes difficult, If not impossible Tho public
seem just now to be in a vast conspiracy
against the guardians Of the public peace.
On all sides people are coming forward TO
make serious charges and tho poor innocent
lambs of policemen are bewidered. 1t is GER
tainly very naughty Of the public to treat our
model policemen so badly; but in the present
case though the officer as usual, was proved
to be innocent, the Recorder evidently
thought that "where there was smoke there
was fire."

RAPID TRANs1T.-There seems some pros
pect that the labors of the Rapid Transit
Commission will not be without practical
result. Several good plans Tor securing the
great desideratum tor this city-rapid transit
have been proposed, and permission will no
doubt be given to one or more companies to
90 on with the work. 1t is not matter of
much consequence whether the plan adopted
pend upon opinion. What is needed is good,
safe road, carrying passengers rapidly and
cheaply from the Battery to Harlem. so that
this is secured the public will be satisfied.

The PEACE OF EUROPE is again in danger.
This time from Herzegovina. Not that this
minute speck on the map is likely to do much
damage by itself, but it has the same relation
to latent destructive forces that q match has
to barrel of gunpowdor. The latest ac-
counts show the instruction increasing in
strength, and at any moment the Seryians
may take a hand in. Should this happen
There would probably result such au explosion
as would make the last war between Germany
and France seem only a very small affair.

EGYPT has abandoned tho friendship Of
France to place herself under the protection
OF Germany. This is another victory for Ber-
lin diplomacy, but it is an act of questionable
wisdom on the part Of the KhGliye. Other

and in case of trouble the Egyptian ally of
Germany would be likely to receive severe

NOTHING NEw.-Prof. Gardner OF the
Edinburgh Medical Association has dis
covered new disease which he styles
emotional sphasia." He says it is an
obscure disease, in which the patient,
whenever he opens his mouth. speaks
only nonsene, It's just possible this
sad complaint is new in Great Britain,
but it Is an old thing and exceedingly
prevalent on this side OF the Atlantic.
Emotional aphssia is just what ails a
good many of our public speakers. Ben
Butler had severe attack of it when he
told an open-mouthed and wide-eyed
audience in Boston that he was an
lrishman. Judge Kelley OF Pennsylva-
mia is also suffering from an acute de-
velopment Of those symptoms. The
Ohio inflationists are all affi icted with
this distressing disease, and should
Prof. Gardner desire to make diagno-
sis OF the case he will find some interest

ances show plainly that they have the
emotional phase of the "aphasia " very
bad indeed.

This metal has OF late years assumed
a prominence in the list Of useful metals,
possessing as it does so many elements
OF superiority for certain purposes. IN
til few years ago all the nickel used
came from Germany, but the discovery
Of American mines has driven the for
eign article entirely from our market and
resulted in the expectation Of considera.
BILE quantities Of the metal from this
country to Europe. There is but one
nickel mine in America. 1t is situated
in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania,
about three miles south OF the famous
Gap Station on the line OF the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. Tho country round is
rich in minerals. iron, copper and lead
being found in paying quantities. As
long ago as 1906 this country was worked
for copper and nickel found in conneo-
ton with it, but at the time the valuable
qualities Of tho metal were unknown
and II was allowed to go to waste. In
1856 the value of tho accompanying
nickel was first determined, and since
then the mine has been worked more for
the nickel than the copper deposit. The
nickel ore is OF light iron-gray, very
hard, homogeneous in texture and got
out altogether by blasting American
miners are almost entirely employed in
extracting the ore, the amount taken ont
being about Ave hundred tons per
month. The ore is first broken into
small pieces and then carted to kiln
built on the fashion of lime kiln, with
the addition of high smoke-stack to
create current OF air and carry of
the gas. The ore is left to
burn in this kiln for period Of six weeks
and is then subjected to pretty much
the Same process as iron ore. The roasted
ore is put into large furnace. mixed
with powdered flint and limestone, and
the product after due time has elapsed
is passed through iron rollers and crushd
to coarse powder. In this shape it is
transported to Camden, N. j., where the
Anal reduction takes place. The nickel
when pure is usually sold at two dollars
per pound, though the price fuotuates
like all other commodities. The Ian.
caster mine supplies all the nickel used
for coinage by the U. S. Mint at Phila.
delphia, and also the different nickel
platers throughout the country. The
beautiful metallic lustre attainable by
polishing had long made manufacturers
Of plated goods experiment for some pro-
cess whereby coating could be given
various articles, but it's extraordinary
hardness gained 1t the sobriquet of 'the
DEVILS metal, o. it defied all attempts
to reduce it. In the Spring Of II q
diligent worker succeeded in accom-.
plishing the desiderstum. and il is now,
by an electrical process, successfully
used for plating many articles. It gives
most beautiful silvery lustre, resists all
action of the atmosphere, and will re.
main untarnished for years.

WORRY.

The want of the age is rest. We rush
through life in perpetual stew. Should
fortune frown an extra effort is put on
and an extra amount of worry entsiled.
However the world goes II is a secondary
matter; Of course It's better to be doing
well than i'll, but the old maxim applies
with great force "There is no use of
mans killing himself to keep himself. I"
How many thousands there are who
never stop to note the thousand beauties
on every hand, the great sun. the solar
system, the admirable laws OF the uni.
verse, our great common. mother Ma
ture. With eye intent on the transac-
tons of the day they ignore everything,
denying themselves all pleasure, and
rushing along at headlong speed, and for
what, few stop to think. The amass-
ing OF wealth is the chief pleasure, when
that is done the mistaken devotee fancies
his work is DER and he can for the re-
mainder Of his years take life easy. He
then finds out the fearful mistake he has
made. The years Of mental and physi-
cal strain he has subjected himself to
has made second nature, and repose Is
the most irksome form be can find to
pass the time. He now does one of two
things-ether goes back to work and
dies in harness or dies Of sheer ennui,
and thus ends most ill-spent life.
The duties of life are manifold
and often irksome. but there is
one duty, ever present, but often unful-
filled, viz: the duty we all owe TO our
selves. Natures laws are inAexible, il
we break them We must pay the penalty,
and the para mount duty we owe to our
selves is that of SO ordaining our lives
that we may live soberly and quietly.
OF all the nations Of the earth the Amer
lean makes more OF lightning express
train OF the matter Of living than any
other. He is up betimes, hurriedly swal.
lows his breakfast, is off at once and up
to his eyes in business, swallows hur.
red lunch, rushes back again as though
his life depended on making fast time,
and goes through the same rustling pro-
cess; at dinner everything is forced
down, a cigar follows, and perhaps an
idle half hour occupied with thoughts of
the next days transactions, and 80 the
days 60 by, and the months and years
come and go, and amid the rush and the
rattle comes sudden halt, and the plan
ner and toiler of years is brought face to
face with-eternity. Thirteen hundred
years ago st. Jerome cried out, in want
Of reflection the world is lost" The
same can be said to-day, though with
moro of temporal significance. Amid
the tumultuous rush of thought thai
goes careering through the brain, there
is scarcely single reflection given as to
our fate and ultimate destiny. The only
impression is. am given the present
to provide for the future" and so the
game rushes along till death steps in and
disperses the players.

ARMENIAN TELEGRAPH WIREs.-To
Armenia belongs the honor of discover.
ing that telegraph wires may be adapted
as clothes-lines for laundry purposes.
The practice OF hanging linen to dry on
the wires has lately become general in
that country, and revealed the hitherto
unknown fact that the Armenian pesant-
~ are in the habit occasionally of wash
ing their clothes. Much dismay has,
however, been caused by an order that
has been issued by the authorities for
bidding the continuance OF this arrange
ment. 1t seems that the wires have on
