Old D0C1RLNE FOR NEW TLMES

Americans will not be apt to conceal their
satisfaction over the collapse Of the Napole-
onic Wyse's canal scheme. After thirty years
of systematic exploration Of the lsthmus Of
Panama and the waterways of Central
America their plans and surveys were brushed
aside and this colossal work WAS undertaken
as an international stock concern organized
under French auspices. 1t Is true that NJ. de
Lesseps gave the representatives of the
United States good places on the committees
and was profuse in his compliments, and
there has never been any reason to suppose
that the French engineers who induced the
Congress to favor their impracticable project
would be aveTse to receiving American
subscriptions. The fact remains, however
that the nation which has built transcon-
tinental railways, and will contribute the
bulk of the business TO the proposed
interoceanic canal, was forced to take "a
subordinate position in this enterprise. Now
that the French spectators have found, out
that they cannot secure the cooperation Of our
Government, their tub can no longer stand on
its own bottom. Americans are pleased with
this result for the simple reason that their DO

The time has come to say a good word for
Kearney. He exerted his influence, which has
hitherto been powerful chiefly for harm, in
favor of order yesterday and in dong so I'M
doubtedly saved San Francisco from riot and
bloodshed. A few hot words from him would
have started the wild throng before him on
career of destruction and death, but with I'M
expected wisdom he did not utter them. No
other man in San Francisco could have dis
persed that excited gathering so quietly, and
he has at last performed one great service for
the city he has done 20 much to disturb.

The debate in the House of Commons, which
our London correspondent describes this morn
ing, makes 1t pretty clear that the project for
erecting in Westminster Abbey memorial to
the late Prince Napoleon will fail, and that
the English people will not use those sacred
precincts for a formal exhibition to the world
of what Punch calls their slight respect for
"the National feeling of France and their
"great regard for the cause of Imperialism"
1t isn't always a wise move to look into the
kitchen before eating ones dinner at hotel,
but the glimpse which Saratoga correspond
ent gives us of the inner mysteries of one of
the great feeding machines there contains
nothing which can agitate the most sensitive
stomach. Some of the totals of food con-
sumed will enable us to comprehend In a
feeble way the tremendous power of the ag-
gregate human appetite as an engine of
destruction.

A Cardinals Work I'm the East.

Cardinal Spaccapietra, of Smyrna,
who recently died, was remarkable
prelate. Plus TX first brought him into
prominence. He was remarkably gifted
as preacher. The Pope sent him on
various distant missions. Everywhere
he gained the love of the people to
whom he preached. When he left Porto
Rico the negroes gave him a pair of
gold buckles for his shoes with an in
scription which enumerated all the pairs
of shoes he had worn out while among
them. When sent to Smyrna he sue
ceeded in building cathedral, and it is
told of him that in order to raise the
money he went about as simple pill
grim asking help. In II years the
structure was built, and the Cardinal
had the profound pleasure of consecrat-
ing it himself. His fame as preacher
was so great in Asia Minor that when
it was known he would preach his
church was crowded, not only with the
faithful of his own faith, but with per-
sons of other creeds, who were attract
ed by his eloquence.-Ne,U York T1ib.

COlOr.Blindness.

DR.. B. J. Jeffries gave some interest
ing testimony relating to color blind
ness before the Legislative Committee
on Railroads in Boston on Wednesday.
He proposed form instead of color to
obyiate the danger on railroads in the
day time, and some substitute for color
at night. A red target, as the sun goes
down, becomes darker and darker, un-
til finally the color is almost black. To
a color-blind person any color that looks
dark seems red; brighter color seems
green, and color still brighter appears
white. He is guided merely by the in
tensity of the light, which, in his case,
takes the place of color. To color
blind person, the shade called "London
smoke," and red are the same, and in
the manufacture of lanterns or signals
this smoky shade is substituted for red.
DR.. Jeffries exhibited to the committee
worsteds of all colors, with which he
had made over 5000 tests OF color
blindness. Mr.. Leonard, the principal
of the Lawrence School, was then asked
to pick out different shades of the same
color, and, as he is affected with color
blindness, he placed in mass shades OF
all colors, blue green and red, to the
great amusement of the committee and
Spectators. These, he said, appeared to
be shades of the same color to him.
Many amusing tests were made, the
confidence of the witnesses in their
ability to select the colors requested be-
ing only equaled by the ludicrous mis-
takes made in the selections. Red
blindness, blue blindness, green-blind-
ness, violet-blindness, and in fact every
kind of color blindness, was disclosed,
one of the committee being shown to be
color-blind.-Neao York Tribune.

Caleb Cushing's Love Affair.

He was in love, was Caleb Cushing,
when people had given him up for
confirmed old bachelor. The lady
whose attractions razed his objections
matrimonial to the ground was the very
beautiful Miss Virginia Timberlake,
daughter of the equally beautiful Mrs
Eaton, of Washington. Mr.. Gushing
was desperately smitten, and paid un-
tagging devotion to his divinity, until
one day the imperious beauty tried on
in his presence a pair of beautiful
Partisan gloves, which, not suiting her
in style and Et, she threw upon the
floor. A second pair met with the same
fate, while the third, being more for
tunate, were calmly drawn over her ex-
ouisite hands and fastened with costly
bracelets about her rounded wrists.
During the promenade which ensued,
Mr.. Gushing automatically asked:
"How many pair of gloves does a
Young lady require during a year?"
Speaking for myself" replied the
spoiled beauty, 81 never wear pair
but once, and never once if they don't
suit me-"
.sWhat is the expense of such gloves
as you wear, for instanceP" inquired
the cautious young lawyer.
"Oh! two or three dollars" was the
careless reply. .,
"I should never marry woman with
such extravagant notions" said Cush-
ing, undoubtedly uttering his thoughts
aloud.
"Nobody asked you, sir" quickly
and aptly quoted the naughty beauty,
turning upon her French heels and re-
tracing her steps homeward, leaving the
economically inclined barrister to re,
cover from his disappointment and
chagrin as best he might.

Extreme Cold.

In answer to the question, How low
temperature is it possible for man to
endure, and what is the temperature OF
spaceP" the New York World replies:
The lowest temperature hitherto OBJ
served-and of course man was there
to observe it's that noticed at Takutsh,
in Eastern Siberia, by the scientific
traveller Erman, in January, 1929, when
a spirit thermometer marked 72 de-
grees below the Fahrenheit zero, or 1O4
below the freezing point of water. For
two months in every year Takutsh has
a temperature of 40 degrees below zero,
which is below the freezing point of
mercury, and on the setting in of the
cold weather the Governor used to be
presented with an image of a saint in
solid mercury, the metal being for this
purpose poured into mold and ex-
posed for a night. At Mime Kolymsk,
in Siberia, in the winter of 1921, the
thermometer indicated Go degrees be-
low zero, and during his expedition to
the North Pole DIR. Kane experienced a
temperature of 6S below, while Captain
Back, at Fort Reliance, met with the
still lower temperature of 20 degrees be-
low. According to he calculations OF
Fourier and Schwanberg, the tempera-
ture of space through which the earth
moves is between 81 and IS degrees be-
low the Fahrenheit zero, so that at times
some portions of the earth are colder
| than space itself

A Business.Like COurtship.-

A solitary gentleman, 60 years of age,
possessing property, and being filled
with desire to have home of his own,
and a wife to keep it in order, conceived
the idea of calling upon very estimable
lady whom he had heard of, but never
met or spoken to, and of presenting the
case for her consideration. He called at
the house where the object of his choice
resided, and asked to see her. She
made her appearance and he made
known his business. He stated briefly
that he was alone in the world, desired
to marry, had heard of her eminent
qualifications, offered to provide her a
good home, to care for her, and asked
her to become his wife, In the same
strictly business manner the lady re-
sponded that she had heard favorably of
her present caller, she had no home of
her own, and had no objection to shar-
ing one of his providing. The happy
arrangement was thus at once conclud-
ed, and the gentleman left. On We'd
nesday he called again for her, they
walked to a minister's residence and
were married. Neither of the parties
had known each other previous to this
unique beginning of their acquaintance

An Exile Returning Home.

Among the passengers on the steam
ship City of Chester, which sailed for
Europe on Saturday, was Prince Carl
Johann Nadasky, an exile from Austria.
His story is that when 16 years old he
was an officer in the Imperial Austrian
Guard. He was detailed to command
the platoon of soldiers ordered to shoot
Robert Blum, famous patriot. He af-
terward joined the Liberal party, was
arrested and thrown into prison. Sub
seauently he was condemned to death,
but the sentence, by the intercession OF
friends, was commuted to Imprisonment
for life. At the birth of the Crown
Prince, eight years afterwards, he was
released from confinement and banish-
ed from he country for life. He went
to San Francisco, where he engaged in
gardening. There he was married to a
German girl named Marie Won Reiche.
He afterward went to Europe, obtained
pardon from the Emperor Francis
Joseph, and on Saturday started with
his wife and child to enjoy his family
estates, which were sequestered during
the Revolution of 1S4S, but which are
restored to him by the pardon.-Ne'o

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Message of the President Regarding the
New York Custom-house Nominations.


New York Custom-house Nominations.
To the Senate:
transmit herewith letter of the Secreta-
ry of the Treasury in regard to the snspen,
the port of New York, with accompanying
documents. In addition thereto respectful
ly submit the following observations:
more than two-thirds of all customs revenues
of the Government. Its administration Is a
matter not of local interest merely, but is
of great Importance to the people and the
whole country. For n long period OF time
4 has Ssen used t. be anS asens
suspended by me are and for several years
have been engaged in the active personal
and state of New York. The duties Of the
Offices held by them have been regarded us
of subordinate Importance to their partisan
work. Their offices have been conducted as
a part of the political machinery under their
control. They have made the Custom house
the center oil partisan political management.
The Custom house should be a business Of
flee, it should be conducted on business prin-
ciples. Col james, Postmaster of New York
City, writing ON this subject, says: The
Post office Is a business Institution, and
should be run such. It is my deliberate
judgment that and my subordinates can DO
more for the party OF our choice by giving the
people of this city good and efficient postal
service than by controlling primaries or dic-
tating nominations" The New York Custom
house should be placed on the same footing
with the New York Post-office. But under the
suspended officers the Custom house would
be one OF the principal politlcal aSfhcies III
the State of New York. To change this they
profess to believe would be, in the Language
of Mr.. Cornell in his response, p" surrender
of their personal and political rights.
Convinced that the people of New York and
the country generally wish the New York
Custom house to be administered solely with
a view to the public interest. 1t Is my purpose
to do all in my power to introduce into this
office reforms which the country
desires. With my Information OF facts
in the case and with the deep sense of the
responsible obligation imposed upon me by
the Constitution to take care that the laws
are faithfully executed, l regard IL rs my
plain duty to suspend the officers in question
and to make the nominations now before the
Senate I'm order that this important office may
