THERE is nothing like enterprise, and
in no business is it more creditable than in
journalism We therefore feel like ac-
knowledging frankly the forehandedness
of our local evening contemporary. 1t is
not given to every man TO read his own
obituary; but if only our neighbor's circu-
iation was equal to its pretensiousness,
General Grant, who retains his conscious
ness and mental ability under the assaults
of vicious disease, might have his last hours
solaced by perusal of our contemporaries
obituary tribute. The regret we expert
rience in this matter Is that our neighbor's
too previousness," the result of over
anxiety to Guido, has spoiled the !egiti
mate opportunity to do itself infinite credit
when the war-worn hero shall have
breathed his last. 1t is, however, as cred
liable to be early at the spread of funeral
baked meats as to be prompt at a wedding
feast. Seriously, however, if there is any
one thing in worse taste than another it is
the speculative publishing Of the obituary
of great man about whom the tenderest
sympathies of the nation clings, while yet
he wrestles with the grim monster TO whom
at the last all men must surrender. 1t Is
species Of enterprise" that takes the edge
from sincerity.

the cage is a dangerous precedent. Insanity

lished. It remains nevertheless, that
The case is q dangerous precedent. Insanity
of that kind is plea most easily set up
and defended when the prosecution is such
as it was in the case Of Mrs. Kennedy, and
hence ali such verdicts are dangerous to
the peace of society and the integrity OF
the law. 1t is entirely improbable
that Mrs. Kennedy would have been con-
yicted, even if she had not pleaded in
sanity. Certainly, if a husband had been
treated by his wife as Kennedy treated
his wife, and he had shot
her down in the very act Of keep
ing an designation, it would have
been a surprise to the whole people if any
American jury had convicted him. Back
Of the law there is sentiment that defes
it in these matters. We may vince under
the charge, but ii is true, and, draw what
ever conclusions we may, it is undeniable
fact. The Kennedy case with the plea Of
insanity blotted out would have resulted
precisely as such cases do with men, 1t is,
therefore, viewed in that light, a refuta-
tion of the charge that society has one law
for the wife and another for the husband
in these matters. But after all this
is said. the defense of emotional insanity,
or, as Mrs Kennedy's counsel ingeniously
phrased it, "disordered menta! design" is
a thin one; q mere disguise for sort Of
chivalric sympathy which we cannot bat
condemn as dangerous to the integrity of
cur criminal code, but which we cannot
deny exists and has sufficient undertow to
carry the law backward into itself when
ever the sanctity of the marriage bed
is invaded. There remains to us in this
subversion Of law by cfiyalrous sympathy,
only thei consolation that q California jury
has dealt by woman as California juries
many times have dealt with men.

SUCCESS IN NEcRoMANCY.-The Fakir
of Ava, so-called, famous as a performing
necromaucer some twenty years ago, is now
retired at the age of 70. His name is
Isaac Hughes, and he got his Oriental
title from another Snowman, one Marshall,
who made much money by feats of leger-
domain, but drowned himself on account
of family troubles. The duplicate Fakir
has been explaining how he advertised
himself and achieved his tricks. On one
occasion he borrowed, at Nashville, Tenn,
the bonnet of the widow of James X. Polk,
who was in the audience, tore it to pieces
before her eyes, and then returned it,
whole, shooting it out of a conjurer's gun.
He had caused complete copy of her bon
net to be made by milliner in town, after
seeing the original in the street one day,
and had depended on her coming to his
entertainment. That cheat established his
reputation in the South.

THE news is that Barrios, the dictator.
has been badly whipped upon the San Sal
vador northern border. 1t is to be hoped
the news is true, bat as it comes from San
Salvadorian sources it must be received
with much allowance If Barrios has
been defeated, as reported, and with heavy
loss, it will very probably put an end to
his revolutionary schemes. If the Cen
tral American States desire TO repeat the
experiment of union, no one will object,
but any attempt to coerce them into
changing their forms of government, and
yielding up their State sovereignty, will
be resisted by civilized nations. 1t is IN
thinkable that such countries as the
United States and Mexico will stand idly
by and witness the destruction Of an
American State by ambitious politicians.

AS WAS anticipated in these columns,
the news now is that while both countries
continue to prepare for war, neither Rus
ria nor England is anxious to engage in
battle, nor do they seriously expect to
meet in arms. Neither nation can afford
to go to war over a question which SO OBJ
viously must be settled by commission.

COLLEGE LICENSE AND RcwDyIsM

The Troy Irib-eae, referring TO the reso-
luton of Union College to suspend indefi-
nitely any student convicted in Police
Court for misdemeanor, assumes to think
II doubtful if Union can afford TO enforce
such rule. II says:
There are institutions in the country 10 which
such decision would be ruinous There is a
false idea in some colleges that student hasn
fully rounded his course unless he has been
arrested at least once. Besides that. policemen
as general thing, have deeply rooted antpa-
thy to students, and like 10 bring them in on the
slightest provocatien. These two facts would
make such decree as that of the Union faculty.
if enforced, fatal to the continuance of certain
institutions. Even if Harvard, tor instance,
could afford TO abolish Greek and prayers, she
cant exist without those WHO haveat some time
in their course stumbled against the law
This bit of sarcasm strikes in the right
spot. If "a college is in existence to-day
that cannot afford to enforce such a rule
as that just adopted by Union, il deserves
to die All the twaddle about students
frolics and academic wildcats, is senti-
mental Stiffness There is no more reason
why g college student should be a law
breaker than that young men in any
station should stumble against the
law" There are thousands upon thou
sands of good citizens who have never thus
stumbled" and yet have not found their
enjoyment of life limited by the
laws restraints. 1t is time now,
if ever, that the traditional
license to unlocked college whelps to make
criminal asses of themselves, should be re-
voked. The college lad who behaves him
self, is entitled TO no more respect or praise
than the lad who is learning his trade at
the forge and behaves himself; the student
cubs who unhinge gates, damage personal
property, insult men and women. carouse
in pot houses, haze their fellows, antago-
nize the police, and generally violate the
laws, should be held to as strict accounta-
bility as the hoodlums of the siums who
behave in Ike manner, bat do not happen
10 wear trencher hat and an absurdly
puffy gown. For the credit of student life.
let it be recorded that there are thousands
Of young men in colleges and universities
who do not find rowdyism necessary TO
healthful recreation, and who respect the
laws Of society as students as well as men
who have an interest in the good order of
communities.

When civil service reform shall have
taken deep root and full hold upon the
American system, these things will not be.
We shall then have employees in the serv-
ice who will be terrorized by no political
changes, and who will need TO fear only
the results Of their own misdeeds, neglect or
incapacity. That such an attainment in
our system will conduce to the purity of
the service and advance its efficiency to
the highest possible plane, cannot be
refuted.

mcnt. America is able to offer a
home to all, simply because 1t offers
work to all. 1t is pre-eminetly the
home of the worker and not of the
idler, and therefore here, more than
anywhere else, is 1T appropriate that
expression should be given to the rela-
tlons which subsist between the two
countries. There is another reason
why an American representative, and
above all an American lawyer, should
be glad to come here on this occasion,
and that is the common share which
we claim and the common admira-
tion which we feel for the distinguish
ed men who are your guests tonight
the judges of England. We claim
them as ours, as brethren of our pro-
fession in America, one and all. In
hundreds of courts and among thou
sands of lawyers and judges who
never saw and never will see the faces
OF the English judges, their names
to-day are household words, and their
decisions are the subject of constant
study and of constant instruction.
American judges have to administer
justice from the Atlantic to the Paci-
fic. but although the judgments of
the English judges do not prevail
there, they are seen and felt by both
bench and bar. One distinguished
member of the English bench, Lord
Chief Justice Coleridge, came TO
America yearago. He came as the
guest of the American bar, and was
made the guest of the American peo-
pie. He delighted us all, and he went
away, am glad to think, not alto
gother displeased with us. l hope
that many of his distinguished brethren
may follow his example, and travel
through what l may call the second
jurisdiction of the British bench. In
no other things are the British pco-
pie to be more largely congratulated
than on their judiciary. Never did
the judgments of the courts command
higher regard and more complete con-
sideration than they do to-day. 1t is
the justice done in the land that makes
your commerce possible; it is that JUS
tice which has built up British liber-
ties. The freedom of England has
been fought for over many field and
contended for in many parliament,
but, after all, it is to the Judges that
you are most indebted for the freedom
you enjoy. Your poet laureate has
condensed the whole thing in the
lines:
When freedom slowly broadens down

Earthquake Phenomena.

The only settled facts about earth
quakes are, that thev are the result of
some shock impaired to the rocks at a
considerable distance beneath the sur
tace, and that this shock reaches the
surface in series of concentric rings,
all POINTS on the circumference of each
ring receiving the shock at the same
moment, even though they may be
hundreds of miles apart. In other
words, all points at equal distances
from the center of the earthquake re-
ceIve the shock at the same moment.
Although this is theoretically the case.
according to well-known physical laws,
still in practice the facts are some
what different, for the shock is re-
tarded or accelerated according as the
rock opposes or favors the passage of
the wave. The severity of the shock
in given place is dependent upon
variety of causes. These are: /. The
strength of the original shock; 2, the
distance from the earthquake center;
and, B, the kind of rock on which one
is standing, loose gravels greatly di-
minlshlng the force of the shock.
The destructiveness of earthquakes
depends rather upon the suddenness
OF application than the amount of mo-
ton. In that at Rio Bomba, it is re-
ported for a fact that a man was hurl-
ed across stream a distance of one
hundred feet, and landed on an eleva-
ton fifty feet higher than his original
position. 1t is an undoubted fact that
objects are frequently thrown great
distances. In the Mississippi valley.
during the earthquakes OF 1911 to
1914, the tops of trees were twisted
and entangled, and strong log cabins
were thrown to the ground. Rivers
are sometimes checked in their flow.
and in past geological ages some have
been completely turned from their
course by earthquakes Ralph S. Tarr

Culture and Happiness.

Now life is not only what we make
it, but it is, very largely, what we
think it is. If we hold before our
selves constantly, some dreary might
have been;" if we think it is, in some
unexplainable way, finer and more ex-
alted to set ourselves to % minor key
of some miserere, we may become in
reality very unhappy. There is no
law, unfortunately, against peoples
making themselves wretched. Schop-
enhaue's theory is that culture makes
for unhappiness; that the more culti-
waited is an individual the more sensi-
tive is he to physical discomfort or
mental troubles, and that he is there
by being formed to be Jared upon at
every turn. 1t is very possible that
the old adage about a little learning
applies to this case. A superficial
culture doubtless increases ones sem
sibilities in various ways without pro-
ducing corresponding increase of
resources; but the deeper culture sup
plies these and enables its possessor to
bear a thousand trials or TO discover
means TO surmout them as may be, of
which the more ignorant individual
would never have dreamed. Boston

fiower-sellers quantity say. who at his
funeral first brought floral crowns into
fashion. He put over $4,000 into
their pockets on that occasion. The
floral display at Gambetta's obseques
was far more lavish. Something like
$4,000 was spent in strewing the path
OF his glory with flowers to the grave
The trade estimate of the cost of this
feature of the Hugo ceremonial brings
it up to the astonishing figure Of $780,
