THE HUMBLE BOB.
Wherein 1t SURPRISES Its Aristocrstic RI
val, the Toboggan.


Rome had its chariot races and
Greece its Olympian and Isthmian
games. the glories of which have been
sung by poets innumerable. But what
were they as inspirers of enthusiasm
compared with the Albany bob? The
patrician youths of the Eternal City or
the ardent competitors on the shores
of the Egean never knew the tingling
sensation of sliding down hill with q
score or more companions on light
ming bob, with gong sounding, horns
blowing, and q steersman IN a dazed
condition of mind, uncertain whether
he will run into a horse car, police
man or a snowbank. The most frantic
struggles of the charioteers in the Fla
Wan circus. or even in Byzantium, when
the wars of the green's and blues were
at their height, could not be compared,
in the estimation of the adolescent Al
banians, with the excitement of race
between two well-appointed hobs on ar
icy slope, with the delightful uncer-
tainty of where they may land.

of its outward qualities, without any

does not call for any direct or definite
exertion of the intellect. but rs for its

class butt for ridicule. The story az
told by one of his subordinates is this,
in brief: Hitherto it had been the GUS
tom to send out heavy trains which
had to break the snow. with four or
FIVE engines coupled together in the
ordinary fashion. The unequal motion
of the locomotives when "bucking"
heavy drift served to lessen the power
of the attack, because the force could
not be brought into single impetus,
this circumstance being due to the fact
that the engines were loosely coupled
together. The officials in question, af.
ter studying the problem, decided that
it would be a fine scheme to have the
engines coupled together BY means Of
long timbers placed on either side, and
-i-ot~I stsU--siy 60 aanh locomotive.
In this way all the engines wouiI
move at once against the drift and
scatter it to the four winds of heaven.
The thing was tried. Every thing
went swimmingly until a sharp curve
was met. The engines being coupled
together in a manner which left no
play of action, it was impossible to
round the curve. Before the danger
was noticed, however, it was too late,
and every one of the five engines was
ditched. Omaha Herald.

disposition to stand in the way OF municipal
improvements that aru needed, and certainly we
do need. or shall soon need, more extensive park
lands than are now at the pubic's disposal.
But the cost of all these improvements is
mounting up to figures that are really appall-

not flush times. People are not making much
money, and they cannot stand drafts OF ten or
fifteen millions every few years

Chief Justice Noah Davis maintains that
"truc public policy requires that marriage
should be made easy, and divorce next to i'm
"posSible" 1t may be taken for granted that
Judge Davis has had large opportunity of in
forming himself upon the conditions of social
life involved in the line of public policy which
he 80 distinctly favOrs. Concerning the legal
difficulties he would put in the way of divorce,
he will find a host of people ready to encourage
him with their warm support. The divorce
courts are becoming so many mills for the
grinding out of legal instruments to break up
homes and separate families. But the theory
that marriage should be made easy" will
not be so generally approved On the contrary,
the lesson of almost all divorce trials confirms
the truth of that excellent adage which places
much higher value upon an ounce of prevention
than upon pound of cure and emphasizes its
application to the question of marriage and di
vorce in a most significant way.
There are few exceptions TO the rule that the
primary mistake in unhappy marriages was
their contraction. They were brought about
by motives which honorable people must re-
gard as a sacrilege. They might have been
avoided or prevented by the timely interior
ence of those who may properly exercise re-
straining influence upon one or both OF the con-
tracing parties. Cur American life In all
classes Of society is too easy, too Indifferent to
those wise rules of social intercourse which
guide and protect young girls, prone to be
thougbtless aud lacking experience, who are
almost always the victims of a mcSdliiGHce.
There is a proper mean between that unwise
seclusiOn which makes young people restless
and unable to appreciate character in those
they meet and that free and easy social life
which offers no safeguards to susceptibility and
recklessness. The first step toward the miserics
for which divorce is the only remedy is taken
when marriages are contracted without the
true sympathy Of genuine affection, and all the
moral and legal forces which can prevent such
alliances are wholesome.
/. is a serious reflection on wOmanhoOd to
reply to this argument by saying that if legal
marriage was made difficult the result would
be a large increase in Illicit associations. Such
a proposition implies so general an existence
of vicious prOpensities rs to be really revolving.
When they do exist they are not to be curbed
by marriage laws however stringent, and the
belief is well founded that the easy law obtain
ing in this State, which woman knows will
protect her character rs a wife, is responsible
for a great many foolish marriages that have
resulted in unhappy homes.

THE DISSECTION or J1EHYE.

The Senate Committee devoted their session
Yesterday to a minute consideration OF Alder
man Jaehne's mode of life, methods of bust
ness and sources of income, and sought dill
gently for all the information they could get in
connection with Mrs. uamiltOL's now cele-
brated sllverware. Dstrict-AttOrney MARITIME
and Inspector Byrnes took the stand and tIled
to clear away the clouds which the thunder
storm of Friday left lowering over them, but
we cannot congratulate them upon their sue
cess. We cannot discover from their own 'es-
timonv or from the otner evidence that they
showed any anxiety to bring Jaehne to justice
They both seemed eager rather to find excuses
for letting him escape punishment. Inc lact
that Recorder Smyth was consulted does not
relieve them from responsibility. They had no
right to attempt to shield themselves by put
ting part of the blame on him. 1t was their
imperative duty to sift the matter to the bot
tom, to get atathe whole truth and then to lay
the facts before the Grand Jury. Butisthey
seemed rather to cast about to discover pre-
texts for escaping from this duty. Possibly
Mr.. MARITIME has not heard the last OF this mat
ter. If be ever runs for Office again in this
town, perl APPS the voters will have something
to say to him about it.
,Jaehne is not i'll the least aDashed. lie dOes
not stagger at all under the load of disgrace
now piled upon him. He was even jaunty yes
terday, though he must have known that his
name was already a byword and kissing
upon all mems lips. One of the sources of his
peculiar Income was found to be pOller-playng,
from which in some years he had derived
revenue of So, 900. That irIesistibly brings to
mind the notorious poker games at Albany i'll
the days of Tweed, when certain legislators
were allowed to win large sums and.in that way
their support was secured for certain bills.
Did Jaehne ever sit down with players OF the
complaisant and amiable disposition of Tweeds
Albany agents
The effort to weaken Detective Prices evil
dence concerning Jaehnes corrupt offer OF
800 to buy him off when he was seeking the
restitution of Mrs. Hamiltons stolen property
was a complete failure. Prices sworn testi-
mony as to this fact, taken in connection with
the other circumstances of the case, furnished
ample evidence for the Indictment of Jaehne
last year. Why then did Distrct-Attorney
MARITIME seek to evade taking the case before
the Grand Jury2
