PRESS OPINIONS.


Still, swearing is SO foolish, so objec-
tionable i'll every way, that sensible
people are more and more averse to it,
and the modern disuse of profanity sets
good example, which is likely to be
followed by greater numbers of men.
But experience has shown that laws
against profanity IRE of no use. They
make men swear all the more, and give
them special occasion for swearing Such
enactments have wisely been expunped
from the statute book of this state, for
no laws except those of religion, self
respect, and good taste cnn prevent swear
ing.-Nelo York Sun.
'Thcre was one hopeful and significant
suggestion in the Ohio platform, and only
one. 1t is in opposition that political
parties formulate their principles, and we
rejoice to see the Republican party in
GLIDING the civil service reform among
its vital principles There is need
enough of it. A large section of the
form, except to use it, as it did in the last
election, for the purpose of getting votes.
1t would gladly knock it in the head if it
dared. Indeed, we do not believe it
would hesitate if it had the power. But
the President stands in their way. lie
believes in the reform, and means
honestly to enforce it. So we rejoice to
see the Republicans exalting civil service
reform us one of the points of their
political filth, thus recognizing its
strength with the great body of the
people, who do not want office, but only
demand honest government. This is
only another proof that civil service re-
form had come to stay."-B0StOR Herdid,

There is no great utility in discussing
the relative merits of different branches
of study as a means of mental discipline.
Whether or not any study shall afford a
valuable discipline to the mind depends
greatly on the manner in which il is pur-
sued. Thousands of college men have
been held to a rigid course of classics and
managed to pass the examinations without
deriving much benefit from the process
In other lines they might have accom-
plished far more. By thorough, well
directed course of study in any of the
great branches of learning the faculties
may be guickened, trained to accuracy
and persistency and made subject to the
full control of the possessor. This is the
best result Of discipline, and it is more
likely to be attained in studies that nre
pursued with alacrity than in those which
are forced upon the student 1t is certain
that the institution which best meets the
requirements of modern life and best fits
its students for the variety of tasks and
pursuits that lie before them will meet
with the greatest favor and do the most
useful work. A wide range of studies,
liberal appliances for pursuing them, and
a large freedom of choice are the condi-
lions now required for the higher educa-
TONY. y. Times.

says; A messenger from Dolores valley.
who arrived yesterday afternoon. saws
Indians have killed a neighbor named
Ginther, seriously wounded his wife and
burned his house, barns. hay-stacks, &c.
The messenger confirms the report that
cowboys had killed six of family of In
dams. One young buck who belonged to
the same family was wounded, but es-
capped and came TO the agency at Ignaclo
and told his story, and Immediately $50
warriors came to the agency and
demanded revenge. Agent Stollsteimer
pacifed them by agreeing to go
with twenty-five of their number TO
| Fort Lewis there to get an escort Of
soldiers and then to proceed to the scene
of the trouble, investigate the whole
affair and bring buck the bodies of their
dead comrades. Accordingly the agents
and Indians passed through here yester-
day morning on the way to Fort Lewis.
Another messenger arrived here last
night bringing the report that party OF
Indians met Joe Dougherty, brother OF
Captain Dougherty of the Twenty -second
Cavalry now stationed at Fort Lewis,
while on his way home near Mitchell
Springs and killed him and carried his
wife into captivity. Captain Perrine,
who was in camp in Mentesum valley
with three companies, sent Captain
,, Dougherty with his command to the scene
of the murder. II is stated that the com.
mander of Fort Lewis, hearing of the &C.
ton of Captain Perrine Immediately sent
= company of cavalry to intercept Captain
Dougherty, fearing that he might lose
his Judgment and seek revenge for thu
death of his brother, and the captivity o.
his wife, who is daughter of Mr.
) Mitchell of Mitchell Springs, with whom
Dougherty's children were staying durini
, the absence of their parents.
There are many conflicting stories as Il
/ what began the trouble. The cowboys
claim that it was the Indians, while, OIL
the other hand the Indians and thei
, agent accuse the cowboys of carrying GU
their threat to kill all the Indians the.
find off the reservation. The troops ar,
I arriving, and the Indians will probabl,
scatter and return to the reservation.

PHILADELPHIA, june ~, 1903.
Visitors coming to Philadel-
phia always come to the store
of course. What is it they
come to see ? A peoples
market; a hurly-burly, they
are apt to think. We welcome
your coming to see. Let's say
a word to help your seeing.
1t isn't like any store you
ever saw before it doesn't
look like a store. Outside the
New City Hall outshines and
overtops it SO much that you
wonder is it that flat brick
building with shy-looking
towers at corners and sides ?"
You get to the windows, a
street of plate-glass, a piano.
rama of stuffs from all over
the world behind the glass Of
fabrics of cotton, of linen, of
wool, Of silk, Of every con
ceivable stuff; of manulac-
lures of iron, of wood, of
silver, of clay, of leather, of
cloth, of juices of trees, and a
thousand things beside :. of
things to put on, Of things to
get into and under, of things
to sit on and lie on and stand
on and walk on of things to
work with and play with and
go-a-hshing with of books to
read and look at and dream
over of all sorts of delights
and utilities.
You step inside the door.
There's a cage to leave your
buster and handbag in on
check. You can leave a halt
hundred packages there if you
like and so to them twenty
times minute.
The store seems full and
empty both. Hundreds of
people are crowding here and
there. The aisles are alive
with men, women and children.
Long rows of seats are full;
long rows are empty. Why
is everybody here and nobody
there ? Why, bless you, peo-
pie go where they like; they
stand if they like they
sit if they like; they look if
they like; and nobody asks
them why. Too many to
make anybody shy.
Is it possible ! all this seri
Gus business3 Nothing ever
was truer. Anybody under
stand it, Nothing is easier.
One looks after this, another
that, another the other. What
seems confusion is nothing
but coming and going of goods
and people. That's a simple
matter. 1t wouldn't be posi-
Bile to bear the strain of the
store all over as full as it is in
spots. We have to a little
while at Christmas; and then
we have the rest, the lull in
January. But on the whole
we take a crowd pretty easy.
All Of which amounts to
TINS; BE a part OF the crowd.
Consider the store a handy

THE NORTHERN INDIANS.
Comfortable Until Food N scarce
Prisoners Well Treated.


FoRT PITT, N. W. T., June 23.-All the
prisoners from Big Bears camp were
brought in by Bedson yesterday. In a
conversation Mr.. Mclean said that while

Indians had plenty of provisions they
were comparatively comfortable but after
provisions ran low they suffered from
hunger.

Bear and forced him to give up the
prisoners who We're allowed to start in
for Fort Pitt three days ago.

and Mclean says no personal insult was
offered either 10 himself or any member

A TRAGEDY ON CHINCOTE1GUE
walter Freeman shoots His Sweet
heart and Her Mother: and Kills

Baltimore American special. -
TAsLEY, AocoMAcK COUNTY. Va, June
1S.-There is great excitement on Chin
colleague Island to-day over terrible
tragedy that occurred there this morning.
William Freeman, aged Is years, shot
Timothy Hills wife and daughter, and
then killed himself For some
months past young Freeman had been
counting the daughter of Mr.. Hills, who
is one of the most prominent citizens on
the island. The parents of the young
girl objected to Freeman's attentions to
their daughter. One of the objections is
said to have been the youth of Freeman.
He was anxious to marry Miss Hills, and
for time She appeared to reciprocate
Freeman's affections.
1t is reported, however, that last night
Miss Hills told young Freeman that She
could not receive lis attentions any
longer, and that her parents objected to
him. The young man left the house very
much detected. Early this morning he
called ut the house again and begged Miss
Hills to reconsider her words Of last
night. She told him that her decision
WIS final she could never marry him. lu
n passion of commingled grief and anger
the youth then drew revolver and fired
ut Miss Hills, She fell to the floor seri
ously wounded. Her mother hastened &c
her assistance, but she, too, was shot
down and, it is thought, MORALLY
wounded. Then placing the pistol to his
own forehead, the disappointed lover com
pleted his bloody work by killing himself
Later dispatches report that Mrs. Hill,
and her daughter have died from theil
wounds and that Mr.. Hills is almost
frantic over his sad bereavement

The Medical Record is incredulous re-
garding the reported efficacy of Dir. Fer
mans cholera vaccinations. His expert
ments, it says, are naturally received
with profound distrust by Psychologists
for il seems priori impossible that By
the methods described, lie could obtain
protective results. The most probable
explanation is that he is not working with
pure fluids and that he is only inoculating
his countrymen with mild type of sept
cpmia. But, if. the reported results are
to be credited, the incubation does seem
to furnish almost certain immunity from
fatal cholera attacks, and il may be fair
to ask the Record what difference it makes
whether this immunity is attained by
septicamia or bya mild sort of inoculated
choleraS II would only seem TO suggest
that blood poisoning may be preventive
of cholera poisoning.

California has been shipping cherries
to Chicago Eight tons Of the fruit, cost d
ing delivered in the latter city nine or
ten cents per pound, sold at an average Of
fifteen cents per pound The San Fran
cisco Bulletia considers this transaction
satisfactory and promising. and says tint
on thrifty cherry orchard in full bear
ing the returns would range from $500 IL
$1,000 per acre. The Alameda
county fruit growers say that
were the freight reduced from
5000 to 800 per car they could ship
three car loads of cherries daily for &C
days, and that next year the owners Of
California orchards would beublc to make
up daily cherry train for not less than
that time. BY the close of so protractcd
n cherry season this Peninsula would be
ready to supply the Chieagoans with the
more luscious and appetizing peach.
