Some of the Maine towns are showing that
wisdom which consists in taking measures to
prevent disaster, instead of deferring action
until misfortune comes. One Maine village
ascribes its immunity from fires to board of
inspectors who semi annually visit all build
ings within its limits to see that chimneys,
stoves, fues, etc are as they should be, and
also to prevent carelessness in the disposal Of
ashes. Other towns in the vicinity are to

of a similar board.

Combs Arraigned.

Deputy Sheriff CARRIER arrived this
morning from Sedalia with Ernest
Combs, the man who slashed Geo.
Bacon with knife on the 18th. Ba-
con also arrived as prosecuting wit
ness. His WOUNDS are still painful
but not dangerous.
Combs was arraigned this morning
hfeore Judge White. He had the i'm
preston that the offense was a Unable
one and was inclined to plead guilty.
but concluded to do otherwise and
plead not guilty. His trial was set
for Wednesday next. The charge is
a felonious assault. q.
Combs acknowledges the cutting,
but claims it was done in self defence |;
says all three of the men attacked
him. Bacon and his companions state
that Combs was sitting down when
they first saw him and apparently
drunk. They reused him and asked
where he lived, stating that they
would take him home. He walked
off alone. Shortly afterwards he
stopped and stepping out from behind
some object, attacked Bacon with a
knife, cutting him in five places.
Bacon, who had stick in his hand,
struck his antagonist twice over the
head.
The general impression is that
Combs version is the true one, but
the evidence may prove to the
contrary. Combs is in the calaboos-
awaiting trial, while Bacon is at the
Southern hotel.-Hannibal Courier.

A scarlet silk neckerchief knotted
around the throat will impart a
gypsy-like brilliance and picturesque
ness to the whole. Three silk hand
kerchiefs with pretty brocaded bor-
ders, will make a charming sleeveless
jacket to wear over q knitted skirt
with a blouse waist above. Two
more handkerchiefs make a pretty
tennis apron to match, and one more
deity twisted will quickly be trans
formed into a tennis toque. Many
girls. regardless of sunburning, wear
natty jockey caps; others cannot get
hats large enough to suit them. The
50 ilor hat IL an excellent choice and
a happy medium, for while the
straight brim shades the face, it al
lows one at the same time to take a
bail that with tiny cap, leaving the
sun in her eyes, or very large one,
she might be unable TO see. As for
tennis shoes, if one wishes to be very
smart, there are patent leather shoes
exactly like gentlemen's pumps, but
these are not So easy to play in as
soft kid ones laced up the 'front.'

of Edinburgh of two commonplace
books of Robert Burns, which were
supposed TO contain several unpub-
lished writings of the poet. When
these volumes were put up, during
the sale of Mr.. Mackenzie's library,
the room was thronged with private
collectors and with commissioners for
Burns clubs and museums, and after
a keen competition the one volume
was sold to Sir Richard Jardine, M.
p, for 80 guineas, and the other to
Lord Roseberry for go guineas. A
disappointed bidder subsequently ex.
amined the two books and took notice
of their contents, and he devoted
some days in looking over the early
volumes of the "London Magazine"
which in the last century correspond
ed with the present reviews, and his
labOrs were rewarded, for 10 and be-
hold he made the astounding discov-
cry that the contents are not original
pieces by Burns, but they were merely
copied from the pages of the afore-
said magazine, where they had APP
peared years before Burns was born.
The extracts are unquestionbly in the
handwriting of Burns, and in all
probability he cor led them for the
young ladies to whom he presented
the volumes. The late Mr.. Macken-
zie inscribed the books: "Manu-
scripts of Robert Burns, given 70 me
by my father, DR.. Mackenzie of
Mauchline." Of course the phr-
chasers at the recent sale banned no
sort of guarantee that the volumes
contained original writings, and they
find that they have paid for them
more sovereigns than they are worth
in shillings. The very existence of
the books was unknown till the Ii
brary was arraigned for sale, and pre-
sumably it was taken for granted that
the contents were what they had orr
ginally been supposed to be. 1t is
rather odd, however, that none of the
vast tribe of Burns collectors should
have thought of examining the
London Magazine" and The Scots
Magazine" before the sale.-London

Too Intricate.

From the Miami News.
Hon. John T. Heard has been
called upon to explain why he voted
for paying the widow of General
Grant a pension of $4,000 per an
mum, and why he voted against a
pension of $4,000 per annum for the
widow of General Hancock, and he
explains his position in letter to the
Sedalia Democrat, which we must adj
NIT, is Just a little too intricate for US
to understand and explain to our
readers. Some of the newspapers
in this district are trying to make it
appear that the reason the bill for the
Missouri river failed to pass was on
account of the absence of Hon. John
r. Heard, who was in Missouri at the
time the bill was taken mp. We
think that they are sadly mistaken
and do not think. that the presence of
Mr.. Heard in congress would have
made q particle of difference, yet we
think that he should have been on
hand trying to do something that
would be of interest to q large por.
ton of the district.

Anarchy and Socialism.

AudTCny anu SOCIdilSfu.
New York World.
There is no man or, thing SO insig-
nifcant, wicked, foolish or imperfect
as not to be eutitl d to a fair iudg-
ment. No one but a crazy man
would advance claim in favor of q
proposition which had no merit in it
from any possible point of view.
1t is reasonable to infer, therefore, that
there is the CLEAN of good idea even
in Anarchy. This means absence of
government. If every one did exact
ly right it can be seen that govern.
ment would be a useless and burden
some incumbranee and one that ought
to be dispensed with. The fact that
probably NO one does exactly right
and the certainty that great many
do abominably wrong whenever they
get the chance are sufficient proof
that anarchy is impracticadle. At
the same time it is but fair to admit
that it is entirely incompatible with
and would be good thing in the mil
lenium, for which, we take it, Herr
Most and his genial friends are not
exactly prepared. But there may,
therefore, be an honest and conscien-
tious but never a level headed An
archist.
The idea of Socialism is very much
less preposterous than that of Anar-
chy, but whatever of impracticability
there is in it arises from the same
facts which are fa,al to anarchy,
namely, the imperfections of man
kind Prof. Richard I. Ely in the
June number of the North American
Review says that the object of S, cial-
ism is "such reconstruction of So
ciety that the entire products of labor
shall accrue to the laborer" or, in
other words, that the laborer and
capitalist shall be one. Surprising al
lowance be made for incapables, there
is nothing nOnsensical in the PROPOSE
ton with the prOviso that each labor
er does his share of the work. The
fact that each laborer will not do this,
and that the meritOrous will be taxed
for the benefit of The unmeritorous,
is fatal to Socialism applied to society
generally. There are cases where So
cialism has prospered, as Prof. Ely
points out. The Shakers, for in
stance, have acquired wealth. So
have the HaImODists. But In these
cases there has been a sitting out of
the elements of crime and Incidence
which render the general application
of the community system impossible.
Socialism can only be feasible in
most advanced state of society-one
so far ahead of US that considerations
respecting it are necessarily visionary.
We cannot get along without govern
ment, and We cannot get along without
the incentive to energy which the Sc
cure possession of honestly earned re-
wards can alone supply to the indi-
vidud. There are evils to be RENE
died, but they cannot be remedied by
placing the idle and inefficient on a
plane us to results with the indus
trious and able. And as there are all
degrees of efficiency and inefhciency,
each degree must find its level in
what it earns. This law does not
work perfectly, but it works inn
measurably better than any SOcialis
tic arrangement can. And as in
America there is a better chance than
anywhere else in the world to make
sure of this truth, we need fear no
serious evils from Socialism.

Scholarships for
Athletes.
Harvard

The most extraordinary statement
by all odds that has yet come from
Harvard rgarding the development of
athletic sports at that ancient seat of
learning is contained in the following
paragraph which appears in The Bos-
ton Evening Record:
There was clause In the Harvard
Bulletin for May which seems to have
escaped much public notice, although
the announcement it makes is rather
novel. This clause announces that
two scholarships have been founded
this year in Harvard, with 81 income
of 5000 each per annum, which are
to be awarded for excellence either
in the classics or in athletic contests.
The scholarships are to be called
the George Emerson Lowell scholar
Sins, and will be first given next
year.
At first thought the foregoing odd
announcement would seem to be due
to the carelessness of some proof
reader or to an inadvertence on the
part of some of the university officers.
But nobody who has had occasion to
observe at short range the sometimes
painful exactness of the phraseology
of Harvard Bulletin, or of an official
notification of any sort from the
Faculty, would suggest such an ex-
PLANTATION. The suppostion that "es-
thetic" was meant for athletic is
rendered untenable also by the fact
that "esthetic contests would be
nonsense, and there is not enough re-
semblance between ''oratoricaP and
"athletic" TO make it possible that the
one word has been substituted by
mistake for the other.
Assuming, then, the correctness Of
the announcement, its significance is
such as TO cause an able-bOdied, back
action, triple-plated shiver to run
down the spine of every son of Yale,
Columbia and princeton who is inter
ested in the athletic sports of his col
lege and who is DESTROYS of seeing Its
! colors to the fore. True. the Harvard
authorities have the option of award
ing these 5000 scholarships to stu.
dents who excel either in the classics
or in athletics, so it is doubtful if the
stroke of next years crew or the
member of the nine who has the best
batting and field average or who
shows himself most expert at those
less rugged games, lawn-tennis or la
crosse, will carry off either of these
prizes. No such revolution will take
place Immediately. But a beginning
has been made, and the step is only
short one from the founding of
scholarships for excellence either in
the classics or in athletics to the
offering of similar prizes for excellnce
in athletic contests alone. 1t is safe

Lawn Tennis Dresses.

Tennis requires a dress set apart
for ia dress that ought to be as
distinct from the ordinary walking
dress of to-day as riding habit is.
There should be an utter absence of
crinoline, and the skirt should be loose,
full, and unfashionably short. No
matter what the skirt may consist of,
the trim-ftting yet most pliable jersey
is first choice for tennis bodices.
These can now be purchased in every
conceivable color from cream to car
dinal, and they can afterward be deco
rated in any way desired to CORE
spond with the skirt portion. Newer,
however, than these are blouse waists
in exact imitation of sailors blouse,
with loose sleeves, banded just above
the waists, and with the usual man-o'-
war collar, with a silk scarf beneath
tied in a true sailor knot. The blouse
is laced up in front with silk cord,
run through tiny eyelets. The scien.
ti6c dress-cutting association has
brought ont a new tennis model and
registered it under the title Of the
'nilkmaids" dress, the rural sinplici-

idea is that of the traditional skirt
turned back La mikmaid. At the
left side the draperies are drawn
through a raspberry red silk cord,
on the right the folds hang free. A
pretty tennis suit lately worn was
made of dove gray nuns cloth, with
a scarf of Turkish embroidery ar
ranged across the front. This en-
broidery-in Arrasene-was wrought
ON material of lighter weight, but
precisely the same tint of gray as
the dress. The fine effect of the deep
red and gold which were the
dominant colors, was intensified by
the red lining of the gray sailor hat
that accompanied the dress. and the
cluster of gray red poRies which
wreathed the crown. Another dress
in dreadful contrast was made of
brightest yellow flannel striped with
vivid cardinal. This was suggestive
of a wild tropical bird, only that
neither parrots nor paroquets try to
tone themselves down by such mart
istic device as black hat. IF the
fashion is always to be followed, no
doubt We shall see more of these dis
tressing combinations, and gowns of
"high art" dingy green, bilious blue
and jaundiced yellow will abound !;
but if the immense flower designs
and ridiculously large stripes and
