John Ruskin is not SO old man that he
should be dying already. He was born in
1919, and is therefore not yet 10 years old
His father was wealthy London wine mel-
chant and left his son independent. Ruskin
always held that men had no real right to
wealth that they did not earn. "Why,n he
asked, SHOULD accident leave him SO MANY
thousand pounds year, while another man,
just as good, beside him, had to pass his
days in painful toll and povertyw Ruskin
has been called a crank, and this sentiment
would undoubtedly prove him to be such in
the estimation of most of his fellow-men.
Holding the opinions that he did, he has
used his large fortune to further what he
believed to be the interests of mankind. In
his career he has made mistakes, which he
himself has been first to acknowledge.
Once he made violent and sweeping asser-
tions against women artists. An American
girl caused him to change his mind COM
pletely in regard to woman's artistic capac-
ity, and he acknowledged his error In the
most graceful manner. For many years he
has been professor of fine art at the Uni
versity of Oxford, England. He is best known
as a writer on art subjects He it was
who brought Turner's pictures into fame
and fashion, in which matter it is not GER
tain but he made another mistake. His best
known writings are ''Modern Painters. "
1.-THE Seven Lamps of Architecture and
1.-THE Stones of Venice" He delivered
many brilliant and solid lectures on a great
variety of subjects. Above all things be de.
tested the snobbery of money.

WASHINGTON, September q,

WASHINGTON, September 2.-The
particulars of the sad tragedy on the
Potomac last evening, by which John
FL. Morgan, the only son Of Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, and Mrs. Emm
DellaCetta, lady living at 2116 G
street north west, lost their lives are
as follows: Mr.. Morgan, who is a
member of the Washington Canoe
Club, left the club house about four
o'clock in the afternoon, going in
the lola, a double canoe, with Mrs.
Gotta, while Mrs. Cetta's niece, Miss
Lulu Mccarthy, accompanied them
in a single canoe, as she desired to
practice padding. They padded leis-
urely mp the Potomac until they were
within quarter of a mile of the
Chain bridge. AT 7:15 clock, when
it was beginning to grow dusk, the
double canoe struck a sunken rock
and capsized. The current at this
point is very strong, the river is real
ly series of rapids. Unable to save
her companions, Miss Mccarthy saw
them drown before her eyes.

One by one the roses of reform
fade from the arbor Of the admins
istration, and slowly but surely dc
the reformers fall into the well-worn
ruts of years that are gone. When
Secretary Lamar first assumed his
position at the head of the Interior
Department he set his subordinates
an example by going up to the Cab
met meetings on horseback or pat
ronizing the horse cars. The horses
and carriages that had been used by
the department officials were sold at
auction, and the truck horses had
full swing in the department stables
The Commissioner of Pensions was
the only burea officer in the depart
ment who kept his carriage. He
declared that Republicans had been
riding around for years in govern
ment carriages, and he was going to
take his turn. This action on his
part has turned out to be sort oil
nest egg. Gradually the depart.
ment stables are beginning 20 be
filled up again. The Commissioner
of Patents has bought horse and
carriage, and the animal is being fed
at the public crib in the stable re.
ferred to, and even the Secretary
has allowed horse and carriage OF
his own to be cared for by the de.
partment stable men. If things
keep on this way it will be difficult
to recognize the new dispensation
from the old.-Americaa.

says: "Our Republican exchanges

the $4,000 deficiency in the distri-
butable school fund. We are glad
of it and hope, with all our heart,
that they will succeed-Democrats

one pays school tax he has a right
to insist that the money be used for
school purposes. That all of it
