The Pittsburgh Trunk Tragedy.

The body of the man shipped from
Chicago to Pittsburg in a trunk last
week was exumed last week and
positively identified Dy francesca
Caruso as the remains of his brother
Fillipo. Francesca is of the opinion
that Fillipo was murdered by a coun-
tryman named Augusta Gilardo, who
was preparing to go to Italy. Gilardo
knew that Fillipo had money and
frequently importuned him for a suffi
cient amount to pay his passage over.
Fillipo was last seen in the company of
Gilardo and Russo, and francesca
thinks that he was chloroformed and
then strangled by hand.

Pesnight, on description telegraphed
to Inspector ByrDes by Chief Doyle of
the Chicago police. The baggageman
at the Chicago depot who checked the

Gilardo as the man who had the trunk
checked. The prisoner was taken back
to Chicago. He is "a years cid and

THE WATER QUESTION.

If the Potomac water shall be proved to
be bad by the very thorough examination
to which it is now being subjected (and
all the incomplete tests up to this time
give no evidence whatever of its being
impuro), the Commissioners are at least
censurabe and should be held responsible
for too tardy conception of the situation.
If, on the other hand, the water is
proven by complete analysis to be as
pure as ever, maintaining its high COM
paratiye rank with that supplied to other
cities of the United States, then the parties
who have contended otherwise and have
by highly sensational articles not only
inflicted unnecessary alarm upon this
community but have aided in spreading
false reports over the whole country that
the Washington water supply was un-
healthy, and hence this city place rather
to be Stunned than resorted to- such per-
sons should be confounded by their too
hasty criticisms and unwarranted assump-
tons
The Commissioners are as much bound
to resist unfounded and injurious reports
alarming to the public and greatly preju-
dicial to the future prosperity of Washing
ton as they are to be sensitively vigilant in
guarding against any danger to the public
health. As far as they are aware, no sani.
tary authority whatever has indicated
that there is the slightest apprehension in
that regard.

ABOUT ANARCHISTS.

Yesterday was q red d-letter day for the
Anarchists. In Paris they disturbed the
peace and were attacked numerically by
the guards, resulting in the death Of five
persons and the wounding of eighty.
In Chicago an Anarchist speaker de-
nounced Abraham Lincoln and was forced
from the platform by mob.
In Cincinnati the honest workingmen
assembled and solemnly declared that
hereafter no red flag should be permitted
in their professions, and that all partici
patton in labor discussions should be pro-
hibited to socialists.
Justus Schwab, on trial in New York
for melting mob to resist the police, as
serted that Socialists were opposed to all
forms of government and that they in
tended to secure return to the primitive
state of man. 1t is impossible to deter
mne Mr.. Schwab's precise meaning, but
he and his followers will learn that the
only primitive state of man which in
cludes no government and no law is the
monkey state. The farther Mr.. Schwab
goes into antiquity the more law he will
unearth.
Adam and Eve were banished from the
Naruen OF Eucn lOr Violating llc Irulu
law. Cain was made q wanderer and an
exile for committing a murder The Jews
were visited with death for picking up
sticks ON the Sabbath day. If Schwab
and his followers expect to dig up antiq-
uity to palliate their lawlessness, they will
run up against Mt. Sinai and be ground
to pieces in the dark ages
Honest workingmen are sincerely glad
that there is at least enough law in this free
country to gather in Schwab and his An
archists, and that so long as the poorest
man may own property, such cattle as
Schwab are liable to be arrested rs com
mon vagrants. If there be times when
workingmen have wrongs to be righted,
they know their remedy, and it is not by
the door of Socialism. They know that
Anarchists and Socialists are only re-
strained from their real purposes by q
stringent law against grand larceny.

We naturally dislike to bring q charge
of offensive partisanship against the
Esquimaux, but we may venture to sug-
gest that Iceland is sorely in need of
civil.service reform. A government that
has been continuously yand duninterruptedly
in power for 1909 years is well calculated
to grow giddy and reckless in some re-
spects, and there ought to be some rule of
international comfy that will prevent
this fusilade of giant iccles against the
sunlit waters Of the southern sea.
In the meantime we cannot do better
than suggest the appointment of Charles
Francis Adams to act in the congenial
capacity of Ambassador to Iceland.

At Old Point Comfort.

1t is related of Professor Odlum, says Il
correspondent of the Baltimore SIN, writ
ing from Old Point Comfort, that when he
had charge of the lighthouses there he
used to amuse himself by jumping over
board from a steamboat halfway between
Norfolk and Old Point and swimming
back to the lighthouses, a distance of
about seven miles His longest swim
while here was to Ocean View, which is
ten miles from Old Point. On one occa-
sion a party Of young men out boating
saw him in the water and pulled him on
board of their vessel "I'm very much
obliged to you, gentlemen, for your good
Intentions said Odlum, "but rs I'm in
q hurry I'll have to leave YOU" And to
the amazement of the boating party he
plunged into the water again and reached
old Point far in advance of them. Odlum
was popular with all who knew him, In
innate acquaintance say he was not a
crank, but level-headed, cool, courageous
and gOOd-hcartcd.

One of the delights of bridal trip to
Washington has always been the custom
prevailing at the Treasury Department
vaults to hand to each bride who entered
it package containing S5000,000. They
were allowed to hold it for second. 1t
was then carefully taken from them and
put away. 1t has also been generally un-
derstood among the knowing ones that
this S5,000,00O package, which has been
the bridal portion temporarily of so many
brides, did not contain much money; but
it was never ascertained exactly what was
in the package until few days ago, when
the count of the treasure in the vault was
commenced. 1t was found that this five
million package, which has been so fondly
handled and over which so many endear-
ing words have been said, was simply a
huge joke, containing three or four heavy
old Government documents, such as
would sell in junk-shop for two cents
per pound. The package weighed fifteen
pounds, and, as old paper, its value would
be thirty cents. The package was care
fully tied up again, and it win continue to
be used to make brides happy. 1t will
suit them just as well as if il contained
real money! Boston Traveller

SPAIN may have her little eccentricities
in the shape of cholera and garlic and
twanging guitars, but when it comes right
down to the science of government there
are times when the United States of Amer
lea might sit at her feet as to another
Gamaliel. The Spanish Government has
presented to the Cortes a bill authorizing
the Spanish Admiralty to expend some
thing over 5000, 900 annually for period
of ten years in the construction of first
class iron-cads, eight cruisers of the first
class seven cruisers of the second-class,
forty cruisers of the third-class, thirty gum
boats and siXty-five torpedo boats. Ten

floated away toward the Tropic of Cancer.

NEW DEFINITIONS.

First Assistant Postmaster-General Hay
has signalized his induction into the active
duties of his Office by tackling the ques-
ton of offensive partisanship, and we are
indebted to him for an entirely new view
of the situation.
Mr. Hay is reported as saying that an
offensive partisan, so far as the postoiiices
are concerned, is ga postmaster who makes
his postoffice the headquarters Of loafers
to congregate, and in other ways offends
the people who call for their mail" This
cheerful definition seizes upon all former
views like cyclone, and carries it bodily
into another universe. And Mr.. Hay
emphasizes his iconoclasm by adding that
'postmasters who left their offices to attend
political meetings and participate in cam
pagns to the extent of ncgtecting their
duties cannot, properly speaking, be called
offensive partisans, but merit dismissal
just the same.n
Why has Mr., Hay persistently withheld
this information, when he might long
since have saved the partisan newspapers
from anarchy and sell-destruction by Civ
ing forth his plain, straightforward views I?
But now that he has spoken, at moment
when truth was most desirable, the start
ling character of his facts should not be
permitted 10 outweigh or overcloud the
truth that Republican postmasters will be
bounced in both languages, 1t will make
little difference to them whether an often
sive partisan is a postmaster who permits
loafers to congregate in his Office, or
whether a postmaster who attends politi-
cal meetings, to the neglect Of his duty, is
not, properly speaking an offensive parti-
san. The conclusion arrived ~ by Mr..
Hay is the familiar one that the Republi-
can postmaster must go.

ATToRNEY-GENERAL GARLAND informs

reason of their inability to take the re-

Between Mr.. Hays ruling that an often
sive partisan is postmaster who permits
loafers to congregate in his office, and this
opinion of the Attorney General, the gone
ness of the Indian postmaster is about the
most inevitable thing eXtant.

most charming serial for 81. Nicholas, Il
story for children, which will just as
keenly interest older heads and which. it
is safe to predict, will be her greatest sue
cess SINCE THAT Lass O Lowrie's." Its
pathetic touches are deep and tender, and
so mingled with a bright humor that it is
a wonderful story and the two or three
friends who have heard all or bits of it
read aloud by Mrs. Burnett, have heard
with rapt interest hardly knowing
whether TO laugh or cry.
