"on Horrors Head Horrors Accumulated

1t really begins TO look as though this
trembling and quaking old earth isn't very
safe place to live in. To most people, how
ever, emigration out Of 1t 10 attended with
such certain uncertainty, as it we're, that few
persons care to hasten their departure. But
look back through the year and see what q
record OF disaster IL has made. Here at
home We may start with the burning of the
Newhall House, Milwaukee, in January.
Eighty -four lost their lives then. Seventy
seven were killed in the Braidwo mine
disaster In February. Our dispatches re-
ported "ffty or more" drowned in winter
foods at one time. Tornadoes In April and
May killed nearly 800. Decoration Day
brought the Brooklyn bridge disaster. Re-
Gently we have had the Carlyon disaster, the
Minnesota tornado, and many minor casual
ties. Look, too, at the greater calamities
abroad. BY the sinking of the Cimbria 434
lives were lost; floods in Germany and Hum
gary caused the death Of 200; the burning Of
the circus in Poland killed 26s; the Mount
Ararat avalanche, $50; English fishing feet
disasters, 1913; explosions at Bessieres,
France, and at Scutari, 300; the launch DIS
aster at Glasgow, $50; In the Ischla disaster
persisted, according to estimates, from 1900
to 5000; cholera has carried of 1900 in
Egypt; and now, as browning horror, is
the great eruption Of Java, whereby $4,000,
75,OOO-no one can tell how many thousands
are swallowed up. It's record that al
most staggers faith in the benefcent order
of the world.

Taste of French Women.

French women, who are admitted to pos.
sess more refined taste In dress than any
other feminines, are at present wearing o
coarse, slazy, wooden fabric very like light
horse blanket for travel and hunting pur-
poses. The material Is made up plainly In
two pieces, plated plain skirt and cost
tailor made In fact, with good deal Of silk
machine stitching TO show in lieu of more
elaborate trimming. French women wear
whittier collars and cuffs and heater CANT de
suedes than any women on earth, and one
searches 10 vain for the particular charm In
q Partisan lady's perfect toilet. II is no one
thing especially, but just everything In gen.
eral. Such a running symphony Of color
throughout, and such neatness and CON-
pleteness from bonnet TO shoe. Strangers
are very apt, when strolling through the
Boulevard Hanssman or Chausse d'Antin, TO
mistake pretty, dark eyed grisette for .
baroness when admiring her olive green elk
costume. Leghorn poke, with green feath'
ers, and yellow undressed gloves, fitting like
gloves on the Bernhard model used In glove
stores, not to speak Of her exquisite little
olive green kick shoe laced over the ankle
bone.

The Good, Great Poet

However diverse may be the critical opin.
ions of Whitman's ability, he certainly hsa
stamped his life with an individuality which
makes him highly interesting parsonage.
Looking at the almost snow-white hair that
covers his ideal head, 1t is difficult to give
credence to those who pronounce him q
charlatan.
His childhood was spent on Long Island.
At an early age, he began his own educa-
ton by the necessary labors involved In
teaching a country school. Later, he be-
came carpenter, and still later found his
way TO the competitors case. His next
step was the usual one with men Of his ilk,
to the reportorlal desk, and thence to an ed
itorial chair in the Office of the Brooklyn
Eagle, where his longest continuous editori-
al work was done. For the six or seven
years before the war, he had been at work
preparing his first edition Of "Leaves of
Grass" setting the type, for the most part,
himself.
Early in the war he volunteered and went
TO the battlefield as a nurse.
The enthusiasm of the gallant charge and
the pathos surrounding the close Of day of
warfare, are wildly portrayed In many Of the
poems which compose the second and larger
edition Of "Leaves Of Grass"
From financial point of view, Mr.. Whit
mans career can hardly be called a success
full one, and he now lives at Camden, N. j.,
In a manner which is at once peculiar and
characteristic, yet scarcely fitting for one
whose verse, In spite Of ragged expression
and Earring phraseology, has an under cur
rent Of deep and tender sentiment or lofty
and vivid Imagination.
Critics and the reading public are divided
into two classes, in regard to Whitman's
work. One sees the spontaneous outburst
of genius, the other the strong impress of af.
fectation. Undoubtedly there Is something
of both to be found, and while his admirers
may be little too enthusiastic in his praise,
the unfavorable criticisms of him are GER
tainly altogether too severe.
A few years ago be was partially incapac-
itated for work by paralytic stroke.
Careless of what the world may think Of
him, he cherishes complacently the belief
that what he has written will last forever.
He has made bis mark at least upon this
century; how deep and how lasting II will
be, time alone can tell.

Presidential Whisky.

Philadelphia Chronicle Herald.
When the president started on his
Yellowstone expedition, he had a com
partment in one of his special cars sup
piled with a choice stock of wine and
whisky This thoughtful precaution on
the part of Mr.. Arthur to provide fol. the
bibulous wants of himself and a miscel-
laneous company of gentlemen was com
mendable. 1t indicates that the presi-
dent in these little affairs of private life
is "A man of taste and generosity. So
long rs lac paid for the whisky out of his
W pocket, or at least did not charge it
to the government-and there is no rea-
son to believe that he did--we can not
see what there is blameworthy in his
conduct.
There is nothing new about n presi-
dental liking for good whisky. Almost
every man who has lived in the white
house, from Washington downto Arthur,
has kept his private bottle and enjoyed
it. Some of them have been mean and
foolish enough to attempt to conceal the
fact, but the majority of them have man
fully gratitied their tastes without being
boldly obtrusive on the one hand or slyly
hypocritical on the other. 1t is to Mr..
Arthur's credit that, like II frank and
honest gentleman, he takes his liquor
quietly and moderately and pays for it,
and that he never countenances such
contemplate shame in the name of tenn
peranee as was committed by Hayes.

Too Much DISCIPLINE.

Yesterday afternoon there was quite
an exciting case in the police court,
causing naturally much Indignation, as
such a charge always does, it being that
of abuse of a little Swear old boy, 1t
appears that Mr.. Collimer, who was so
unfortunate as to lose his wife by death,
gave the child to a Mr.. and Mrs. Martin,
living in the west part of the city, about
six weeks ago. The complaint was made
by some neighbors that the child was be-
ing whipped severely, and otherwise
misused, and the child being brought in
was found to have numerous bruises upon
it, black and blue spots, etc. On the
trial of the cass, the defendants claimed
that the child's flesh was very
easily marked, and that the bruises
We're moi caused by beating, but by fall
ing down stairs and oil the stoop, il hay.
ing had several tumbles. The court de-
cided that the evidence led him TO be-
lieye that too much violence had been
used against the child, but that there
was no evidence against Mr.. Martin SO
he was discharged. Mrs. Martin was
found guilty and fined $25. Steps are
now to be taken 10 have the child deliv-
cred over to other parties.

GOING FOR THE GAMBLERS.
A Number of Informations Filed by
Marshal jackson.

The discussion of the gambling ques-
ton, and the relative position of the city
marshal and city council in regard to the
matter, liz causing some results. Yester-
day Marshal jackson filed information
against Ben Marks, VIM. Lacey, Bowen
~ Morrison, jim Wilson, four houses in
all. just what this will amount it is
difficult to say. Ben Marks claims to
be out of the business altogether, and
that some one else is running his old
place. At Lacey's it is claimed that Ed.
Anderson is the one to go for. 1t is
barely possible that the proprietors
of these places will change
so often hat the mformations will be
nothing but boys play. There are already
some cases pending against some of these
same parties. The filing Of the new in
formations yesterday is but another chap
ter of the same sort. 1t is not unlikely
that out of the multitude of cases the de-
PENDANTS may pay one fine in thirty days
and keep running, which will be another
and roundabout way back to the old sys-
tenn of monthly fines, or practical license,
and will give the council n chance to say
it is consistent with its resolution and
give the marshal a chance to say that he
is carrying out that resolution to the best
of his ability.
