SHUT THE DOOR,

Man is never wholly blessed. The
dOor-slamming fiend having been cir
cumvented by the new contrivance
which renders pugatory all efforts of his
toward slamming. one might naturally
be deluded into believing that the mil
lennium was right at hand; but Sucn IS
the perversity of man. and so accustom-
ed have his ears become to the slam of
the door behind him on entering or leav-
ing your apartment, that it is absolutely
painful to witness the look of despair
which comes to his face when no slam
rewards his misguided efforts. The
outrage to your ears which the slam used
to perpetrate was supreme enjoyment
compared with the agony of the present
infliction. To see apoor wretch, alter
his first abortive attempt, continue to
push a door five. ten, twenty times
every push unrewarded by the longed-ior
explosion, is too much for any man ca
pable of the slightest compassion for q
fellow being in distress, and conse-
quently some of our more sympathetic
shopmen have been forced to pin up
this legend. This door is self-closing.'
This sliortens our martyrdom. but it can
never reconcile the slamming fiend
to his changed environment Boston

CASHIER BALDwIN's SENTENCE

Cashier Baldwin's conduct since the
ruin of the Mechanics National Bank OF
Newark was disclosed, and his pleading
guilty before Judge Nixon, in the United
States circuit court at Trenton, recent
ly, are in harmony with his protesta-
tions that the funds distracted from his
bank did net go into his own pocket,
but were appropriated chiefly by Nugent,
the morocco manufacturer. 1t is to be
regretted that a trial is not to make evil
dent whether the blame for his defalca-
ton should rest rs heavily upon others
as upon him. II it is true that he had
lived life of probity until he succumbed
TO one great temptation, it is due to him
and TO the world that the fact be made
known. But on the supposition that
such was the case, the sentence Of fifteen
years imprisonment in the New Jersey
penitentiary was rs lenient judgment
as he could have expected. His betrayal
of q great trust. although the stress OF
temptation was severe upon him. could
not be passed over lightly, however
penitent he might appear. Newark de-
falcations have become so numerous that
stern example must be made of Cashier
Baldwin, IN. Y. Mdil-ELpress.

SALUTARY LAW.

The judiciary committee OF the house
of delegates of Virginia, reported ad-
versely upon proposition referred 10 it,
looking to the abolition of the whipping
post. As the negroes are more ignorant
and more given to appropriating things
belonging to others than the whites, the
law inflicting stripes was aimed at that
class. The law has been in operation
about four years. During that time not
only white men. and some of them Of
prominence, have had the lash applied
to their bare backs, but females of both
races have been subjected to the same
degrading mode of punishment. Young
white and colored girls have been fog
ged for the theft OF a trifling article. Oc-
casionally the sons of prominent men.
have paid the penalty of some petty
theft at the public whipping post
Whatever may be said against the law.
it has proven an excellent one for sup
pressing petty thefts. not so much among
the negroes as the whites. The latter
look upon this mode of punishmentwith
horror. In many instances negroes have
expressed preference for the lash rath-
er than be committed to jail.

MIspIRECTED INDUSTRY.

Nine months OF hard and ingenious
labor by Johnny Sansomc, convict in
the prison nj Folsom. Cal. enabled him
to escape. BY thrustinga wire down be-
tween the granite blocks in the floor Of
his cell. he discovered cavity under
meath, which was an abandoned sewer.
With n chisel which he struggled in
from the workshop and "A heavy piece of
wood. he broke one OF the stones. This
required "A month, because he could only
strike blow when door was closed. or
some other noise was made 10 hide IL.
and he frequently set up all night with
out being able To strike more than once
or twice. In the daytime he was in the
shop. After removing the hal: square
of granite, he dug slowly down through
three feet of stone and cement. first bor-
ing hole. and afterwards listing the
chips fall through it. At the end OF
three months he got into the sewer. and
found it plugged with stone and cement
ten feet thick mt its former outlet. The
remaining six months were spent in dig
ging through this obstruction. He
worked at night. and naked. leaving his
clothes so arranged in bed that the guard
supposed he was in them. Foul gas in
the sewer nearly suflocated him, loss OF
sleep made him i'll. and his weight fell
of twenty-five pounds. But he got out
at last. Within three hours an officer
recognized him. and he was again n
prisoner

THE FIRST STEAMSHIP.

In NJ. de Lessep's new paper an inter-
esting article appears, giving the descrip-
ton of the Savannah, the first steamship
that ever crossed the Atlantic. 1t is Just
sixty-three years since the Savannah. a
vessel of $50 tons. sailed from the port
after which she was named for Liver
pool. The vessel was built by Francis
Fichett at New York. where she was
aunched in 1918, and afterward fit o d
with engines made at Morristown, NJ.
The credit of crossing the ocean is due
TO John Scarborough, who bought the
steamer Just after she left the stocks. 1t
is stated that when the novel ship with
funnel arrived off Cape Clear, she was
supposed to be on fire, and cutter was
sent from the naval station at Cork to
her relief. A rumor having obtained
credence that she was designed to rescue
Napoleon from St. Helena, sharp
watch was kept on her. The real object
was to sell her at 8, profit. and she was
offered to the Swedish and Russian gev-
ernments, but us neither would buy her
she once more made the ocean passage
to New York, traded between NewYork
and Savannah, and was finally wrecked
on Long Island.

PRACTICAL MOVEMENT.
OPENING OF THE BOSTON COFFEE PALACE

Recently the rooms OF the Oriental
coffee house company in Boston were
thrown open To- the stockholders and
members of the press, and at : o'clock
between 200 and 300 ladies and gentle
men were present. Among the distin-
guished members of the sterner sex IN
attendance were Gov. Long, Rev. Bishop
Paddock, Rev. Mr.. Osborn Of the Church
of the Advent. Rev. Mr.. Converse, Rev.
John Williams, Rev Robert West, Col.
John 5. Lockwood, Hon. Alpheus Har-
DIV, Weston Lewis. president OF the Bos-
ton Board of Trade, Messrs. William j.
Samuel G.. and John K. w. Shapleigh.
Erying Winslow. secretary OF the new
organization, and many others. Shortly
before o'clock Alpheus Hardy called
the company to order and extended to
those present cordial welcome to the
new coffee rooms, which have been
opened by few benevolent men inter
e,ted in the cause of humanity, and who
are actuated by desire to overcome the
evils OF intemperance and lift up fallen
men. The speaker in closing introauced
Erving Winslow, secretary of the stock
holders. who gave brief sketch Of the
origin and progress of the idea which
has thus far eliminated so successfully.
The sum of $4,000 has been pledged. Ole
which amount $1,000 will he expended in
fitting the present rooms more THOR
ouobly. and the remainder in establish
ing branches throughout the city. Gov.
Long was then introduced, and, after
being invited by Mr.. Hardy to take tho
first drink, said: The charity here pro-
posed is that which will work reform
not only among those who drink but
those who sell strong drink; the public
will cordially indorse any movement
which has for its aim the Improvement
of the thousands who are homeless. hun

Godspeed to the central coffee house, nd

pany, have the honor to taste the first

ert West made brief but appropriate ad-
dresses. At the close of the speech

and the cold perspiration stood out on
her forehead. She felt her voice leaving
her, and was about concluding ii would
be better not to force an interview with
the Fiend, when the door was raped
lightly.
Mrs. Delvine's first impulse was to lock
the door. But. overcoming her coward
ice. she opened it, and with face white

Then it was that the Fiend asked
quietly: How is your little boy this
morning. Mrs. DelvineP"

turning scarlet And then she tried to
stammer an apology, which the boarder
did not wait to hear.

HOW NAMES ORIGINATE.

Macaroni is eaten with relish equally
by all civilized peoples. But the incl
dent which originally gave it its name
is known TO few of those-cven in
Sicily, its birthplace who hold il in the
highest esteem. Once upon time a
wealthy Palcrmitan noble owned n cook
with an inventive genius. One day, in
rapture of culinary composition, this
great artist devised the farinaceous tubes
which we all love so well. and the sue
culent accessories of rich sauce and gra-
ted parmesan, familiar to those who
have partaken of ''maccaroni al sugo'
in southern Italy. Having filled a mighty
china bowl with this delicious CON-
pound, he set it before his lord-a gour-
met of the first water-he stood by, in
deferenlial attitude. 10 watch the effect
