which is given to the Board OF Public
Charities supervision of all places IN
which any person Of unsound mind is
detained, and compensation is paid, and
of all places where two or more such
persons are detained, with or without
compensation. This excerpts the single
family idiot or lunatic, and it appears,
from the accounts of cruel treatment by
relatives which have appeared in the
Philadelphia Times and Press, that the
care of a luna.ic is dangerous power
to trust to relatives unless subject to
official oversight. a change in the
statute is demanded.

Collisions at Sea.

Tho arrival of the steamer Titania at Que
bee clears up the mystery that hung over the
loss of the steamer State of Florida. She was
not blown to pieces by an untimely explosion
Of dynamite, as was at first surmised, but
collided with bark in midocean and went
down, carrying moro than hundred souls to
tho bottom. Tho vessel which she struck
Jared rather worse, only woof the crew being
saved.
The danger of two vessels coming together
in the open sea would seem to be exceedingly
remote, under the ordinary operation of
chance, yet every year few vessels are lost
in this way. When sailing through narrow
channel in thick fog the wonder is that
collisions are not moro frequent; but on the
high seas it is strange fatuity that brings
two vessels into the same path. There must
also be an extraordinary conspiracy of clrcum-
stances that prevents the men on the watch
on both vessels from seeing the danger.
Sometimes collisions are caused by mis-
understanding of signals Seven or eight
years ago two steamers came together in tho
Chesapeake on beautiful, moonlight sum-
mer night, when the officers of both were at
their posts doing what they could to avert
tho catastrophe. They kept soesawing ba ck-
ward and forward as persons sometimes do
when they meet on the sidewalk and are un-
able to decide whether to turn to the right OF
loft, until they finally struck.
A collision apparently similar to the ono
that sunk tho steamer State of Florida oc-
CURED between the steamship Nevada, of the
Guion line from New York for Liverpool
and tho steamer Romano, westward bound
on tho 5th insta mt. The Romano went down
but the Nevada was able to continue her voy-
age. From these two accidents occurring SO
close together We would be almost justified in
concluding that vessels have q strong affinity
for each other, and that they arc drawn to-
gether by some occult law of attraction.

HoadIess Roosters May bo shown.

The case of Randolph Warrick, charged
with cruelty to animals, an appeal from the
police court, came up in tho criminal court
yesterday on a motion to set aside tho for
feiture of the recognizance. In December
last the defendant was exhibiting living
and headless rooster and reaping o harvest of
funds when the agent for the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals pounced
down upon him, seized the rooster, and broke
up the show The next day in the police
court Judge Smell thought he had found law
enough to sustain him, and imposed fine of
$50 or sixty days in jail in default. From
this Judgment an appeal was taken, which
was called in the criminal court last Monday
and tho bond Of tho defendant forfeited for
failing to appear. Mr.. Warrck was in Now
York at the time, and, returning, came into
court yesterday, whom the forfeiture was set
aside. The attention of Judge Wylio was
called to tho law supposed to govern the case,
and his honor said that the case could not be
sustained under it. Ho thought it foolish
business tho defendant was engaged in. but
directed a nolle pros. to be entered, which
was done.

The reception of the visiting physicians by
those of the district at the National Rifles

Meeting OF Its Commissioners Last Night
10 Perfect Arrangements.
A meeting was held ut Willard's hotel last
night by tho commissioners of the different
states and territories, appointed by the
President, TO mako arrangements for tho
Worlds Industrial and Cotton Centennial
exposition to be held at Now Orleans. There
were present also representatives of tho
different government departments. Twenty
eight states and territories wero represented.
Hon. Frank Bacon, of Kansas, was elected
president, and j. w. Ryokman, of
Georgia, secretary. Maj Burke stated the
objects Of the meeting, after which
addresses were delivered by Hon. George
Il. Loring, Gen. Sickles, OF Colorado; Judge
Sebrig Of Florida; Commissioner Eaton, and
others. Maj. Burke explained the growth of
tho enterprise from its inception. and said ne
thought that the exposition would exceed the
Philadelphia centennial in dimensions. a
committee was appointed, consisting of DR..
G. W. Dabney, of North Carolina; Gov. Robert
l.. Furnas, of Nebraska, and Hon. A. j. Nc
Whirter, of Tennessee, TO recommend plan
for tho collection and arrangement OF state

wing of tho party is not calculated to restore
harmony.
The Post adjourns the fight to Chicago and
gives timely notice that tho platform adopted
there must absolutely and unequvocally
commit tho party to tho doctrine of q tariff
for revenue only. "This platform as prom
ise," says tho Post, must take the place of
the Morrison bill as q fact" Assuming that
the Post correctly represents tho feelings and
purposes of the majority of tho party, tho
protectionist democrats will be entirely
ignored in tho national convention, and that
tho candidate must be taken from the rank
of the tariff roformors.
In ordor to emphasize tho disgust felt by
the Morrison mon at the action of their
democratic colleagues who voted with tho
republicans TO strike out the enacting clause
Of the bill, tho Post publishes "black list"
in which their names appear in bold-facod
type. Tho thoughtful democrat who reads
over this "blacI list will not fail to notice
that three of these gentlemen are from the
democratic state Of New Jersey. The most
ingenious "arithmotio man" Of the demo.
cratic press has not tried to figure out tho
election OF democratic president with.
out giving him the state of New Jersey. The
action of tho New Jersey delegation yesterday
is sufficient notice that no so.called tariff
reformor" can carry that state.
Another state which tho democrats are in
tho habit of claiming is California; but four
of the California democrats are in tho ''black
list" New York and Ohio are sometimes
talked of as domocratic possibilities New
York contributes six democratic representa-
tives to tho "black list" and Ohio ten. This
is certainly not an encouraging prospect for
party that is determined ''to reform the
tariff"

ANOTHER cablo, or rather double cable,
is now being laid across the Atlantic ocean.
The work was begun on this side on the 9Th
instant, when tho shore end was landed at
Dover bay, Nova Scotia, from the steamer
Faraday, As the steamer sails eastward a
thousand miles of cable will be reeled over
her stern. When the first section has been
exhausted the ends will be buoyed, and the
vessel will proceed to England for another
double section of cable. Returning to the
buoy tho splice will be made in midocean,
and tho reoling out resumed. Considering
the number of cables that have beon laid
between this country and Europe We ought
soon to have an opposition line strong enough
to reduce rates.

And his reason troze,
Did all that man could do2

His face all glad,
Saw scenes so sad
They drove him mad
And then laid low his head.
Did they remember Jack Cole my boys2

Who wore out his life
In that Arctic strife.
Who was true as wife,
Or the steel Of his knife,
When tho sun was low and the shades were long?
Poor Jack was not in the ward Toom," boys;
Jack Cole was only tar!
No cannon then roared,
No flag waslowered,
| But sorTow was poured
| From hearts that stored
A love that was botter by far.
A nation sorrows for Jack, my boysi
A nation royeros his nameI
And high on tho scroll
OF honor's bright roll
| We will ever eXtol
Brave! brave Jack Cole,
And sing Of his Arctic fame.

fully of tho condition of the country and of
tho political outlook. With many other

Dental term should bo for seven years, and
the incumbent should be ineligible thereafter.
He suggests two other amendments TO the
constitution which are not without merit.
When congress fails to pass one OF
:hc regular appropriation bills, he would
confer power on the executive to continue
the appropriation of the former year until the
current year was provided for; as he would
also give the president power to veto any
portion OF bill which he did not approve
without impairing the validity of tho othor

Among tho liveliest guests at tho celebra-
tion of the tenth anniversary of the wedding
of Mr.. and Mrs, George p. Jacobs on Monday
evening at % Lee avenue, Brooklyn. was the
16.yoar-old daughter of Police Captain Camp
bell, of the first Brooklyn precinct. She was
the picture of health. Her cheeks were rosy,
and she engaged in almost every dance. Her
life had been almost free from sickness. At
midnight sho ate heartily of supper, and she
was engaged for every dance afterward.
Just after waltz she pr essed her hand to
her bosom and exclaimed: "Oh, feel SO
tired" A pallor came over her face, and her
partner in alarm quickly lod her to sofa.
In moment she lost consciousness and would
have fallen from her seat had she not been
supported She was laid upon tho sofa and
supported by pillows. Her partner ran out
for physician. He found DIR. George w.
Baker, Of az Bedford avenue, who arrived in
few minutes, but ho found Miss Campbell
breathing her last.
The party was broken up, and the word
was sent to police headquarters to notify
Capt. Campbell that she was dead. When he
arrived he found Mr.. aud Mrs. Jacobs watch
| ing over the body,
Miss Campbell was soon TO graduate from
school. 1t is supposed she died of heart dis
ease, developed by the excitement and exer'
| ton of the dance.

ALETTER from Paris gives an account of the
sailing of fifty women from Bordeaux to New
Caledonia, whore they are to become wives
of convicts in the French penal colonies. The
