The Law Side of the Dolphin Bust

1t begins to look as if the Attorney Gen
eral and not the Secretary of the Navy
would have to determine whether the
government will accept the dispatch
boat Dolphin or not. If appears to be I'M
derstood that the Naval Examining Board
has determined that the vessel has a good
many faults, one of which is that she is
structurally weak. In fact, she is so
weak that It is thought that under the
strain OF "A heavy sea it would be very diff
ficult to run her machinery.
Mr.. Whitney has, perhaps, reached the
conclusion that the government ought
not TO accept the vessel, but he ia in doubt
whether the government can avoid ac-
cepting her. The contract which Mr..
John Roach has with the government is
very shrewdly drawn. It is not improba-
BILE that Mr.. Roach and Mr.. Chandler took
into consideration the possibility of the
condition Of affairs that is now believed to
exist-viz: that the vessel would prove TO
be failure-and provided against any
loss on Mr.. Roach's part.
The plans for the vessel were prepared
by the Naval Advisory Board, and the
work as il progressed, and each piece Of
material that was used in the vessels
construction were inspected and passed
upon by government officers.
Mr.. Roach is said to show no concern
about the report that the Examining
Board is0f the opinion that the vessel is
failure. and practically useless for the
purposes for which she was built. He
smiles in good-natured way when
asked about the matter. His want Of
concern is due, probably, to the belief
! that no fault can he found with that part
OF the vessel for which, under the
terms Of the contract, he regards him.

Total Depravity.
Frc.s the Chicago Inter Ocean

From the Chicago Inter OCEAN.
A ministerial friend of mine was down
town the other day without his pocketbOok.
AS he walked toward the street car he dscOv-
cred that he had in his pocket only nickel,
and he discussed in his own mind whether he
should walk home ana save the nickel, or ride
home. He finally declared that ne was too
tired to walk, and was in the act OF hailing
street car, when an old darkey, bent and de-
crepit, accosted him. The old man explained
that he had had nothing to eat since morning,
and that he was so faint that he could scarcely
stand, and that he was in great distress, and
that very little would help him. He told, in
short, a very pitiful story. And the clergy
man, always sympathetic, listened patiently.
At last he told the colOred man that he only
had five cents in his pocket, and that if he
gave that to him he would be compelled to
walk home. The old darky became more earn
est IN his plea, told how miserable he was and
assured the clergyman that the Lord would
bless him for giving to the poorest Of the poor
Finally the clergyman gave the old fellow the
nickel and started to walk home. He had not
gone more than two blocks when the street car
passed by. and on the rear was the old darby.
As he passed he raised his hands and shouted :
"May de Lawd bress you, cut pigeon-wing,
and skipped into the car.

at Malaga. this popular matador had an al
most royal reception. He drove from the sta
ton to the best hotel, the Alameda, a large
crowd following his carriage all the way; an
immense cOncOurse gathered at the hotel
doors to see him alight. The following day,
sunday, about S,000 people went to the bull
ring TO witness their favorite's performance.

A Queer Rat.

Among the many strange pets which Frank
auckland, that strange man aud ardent natu-

Both judy and the rat would stay all day
cOled up In their own cages. When the gug
was lighted however, both slowly reused up
and ventured out. judy would wander over
70 the rats quarters, and, when his back was
turned, would steal his food. The rat. on
the other hand, would sneak into Judy's cage.
and pick up forbidden titbits. One day the
rat came home and found Judy stealing.

The Ruddensiek Case.

The verdict of guilty in the Buddensiek
case In New York city was doubtless a
surprise. Buddensiek, it will be remem-
bered, is the contractor and builder who
erected block of buildings in that city
which tell a few weeks ago, and killed
several workmen and injured number
Of others.
1t was charged that he used mortar
made Of loam--sand being much more ex-
pensive, and that he used brick that were
80 soft as TO be practically worthless for
building purposes. The punishment for
the crime Of which he has been convicted
is from one TO twenty years in the peni-
Tertiary.
Now the law ought to take hold OF the
building inspectors who passed the Bud
denseik buildings without condemning
them. They certainly deserved to be
punished.
There are so many who are willing 10
cause suffering and death, provided they
can Get rich, thatthe punishment Of few
Of the Buddensiek kind Of people is abso-
lutely necessary for the protection OF
health and life. The builders Of frail tene-
ment houses are no worse than food adult
terators. They ought all to be made to
suffer the seyerest penalties Of the law.
