NINE. SKoBELRFF's MURDER.-Despatches from
Constant1nople say that the aid-de-camp OF
Gen. Skobelef, who accompanied Nine. Skobe-
LEFT. was wounded, but succeeded In reaching
Philippopolts, where he denounced sub-LteuL
OuZatis, whom he knew well, as the assassin
visitor at Nine SkObelefT's. Ouzat1s fed TO the
mountains, but was captured by cavalry. He
has since committed suicide. His Montenegrin
accomplices, his brother and several OF his
friends were also arrested. The motive for the
crime, 1t Is supposed, was robbery, as Nine.
Skobeleff's money and ornaments were not
round when the police arrived at the scene OF
the murder.

THE LAW IN TANNERS Casa good many
have asked US whether something cannot be
done to put stop to the disgusting exhibition
making by DR.. Tanner, in the city of New York
In trying to go without food for 40 days and
whether If he breaks down In the attempt, those
who are watching him cannot be punished as
accessory to his death. We really do not now
think OF any way to stop him or punish his abet-
tors. There seems TO be no law against a man
making an ass OF himself. Some voluntary
risks, dangerous to lie, are forbidden. as duel
ing and prize lighting. Others are not. as
pedestrian matches and rowing contests. Tan
ner is professedly not trying to kill himself; he
proposes TO live. So II he should die his watchers
could not be condemned as abettOrs of suicide
He does not come within Mr.. Bergh's jursdic-
lion, for his act Is entirely voluntary and he is
an adult. presumably capable OF eating If he
wants TO eat. The best way to put a stop to
such idiocy is to let other idiots stop running
after him.-Atb0ny Lar Journal

NEW TELEPHoNE.-A feature In the new
hhlemn telephone Is the distance from the in
strument at which conversation may be trans
mitted, either aloud or In perfect whisper. An
exhibition was recently given In Montreal, of
which the Witness says: Parties present stood
at 20 feet from the mouth piece, and subSe-
quently went into an adjoining room at least
0feet away, shut the door between the two
apartments, and the conversation was thence
carried on, In both cases as clear and perfect
as II within the usual few inches necessary In
the Bell telephone, and with the lips close to
the mouth-piece as in the case of the Edison.
And this was done with the back turned to the
instrument equally as well as when facing 1t.
Whispering messages were transmitted, the
sender standing about foot from the inStru-
ment, with perfect ease and distinctness. Mr..
j. d. Haines, the electrician in charge, eX-
planned very simple, but certainly 10 tele-
phone users, very important central Office
system, by which subscribers could be put in
instant communication or notified without
being detained by the central Office. This i'm
