division Of the adjutant-gensral's ONCE, came
TO work this morning in . very pronounced
state Of intoxication, and was ordered, by his
chief, 10 60 homo until he was sober. The
Offices are on the top floor Of the War depart
ment building In the northwest corner, and at
about lo:l6 o'clock Kesting started to descend
the stairway on his way home. A he took the
first step down he lost his balance and fell over
the railing to the door five stories below, the
distance being between rs and 90 feet He
struck the floor On his back, making sound
like heavy door falling fat. which was hoard
IN all parts OF the northern end of the building.
UNCONSCIOUS UNTIL He DIED.
The Waterman on the basement floor said
that Heating did not move muscle after he
struck the tiles, although he breathed for some
time without any evidence Of consciousness.
Great crowds Of clerks docked to the stair
way rotunda - the news spread, and ropes
were stretched around the pillars in the base
ment to keep the people away from the man,
e he lay with barely percsptible signs Of life.
The police and the coroner were summoned
Immediately, the former arriving with an am
few moments before, and his body was covered
with deek-cloth. The remains were placed
In the ambulance and
TAKEN TO TIE MoRauE,
and in about ten minutes the coroner arrived.
When he discovered what had been done he
grew excited and used vigorous language, but
finally made his way to the morgue.
Keating's jaw, several ribs, and the back Of
his skull were shattered, but there was not q
drop Of blood visible. II is thought that he
struck some projection on the stairway on his
way to the bottom which shattered the Jaw
bone. The body a. seen in passing by those in
the different corridors described several slow
circles and there appeared to be no struggling.
The deceased was about forty-fve years Of
age and leaves q wife in very delicate health

WHAT'S THE USE2

In commenting upon Senator ingalls,
great speech in the serate last week, the
Abilene Gazette lpem. asks.
Does he not arouse old feuds, old ami
mosities, old issues, that it We're better
were buried forever under the lapse of
time, and let the era of peace and good
WHIP towards all men prevail. Where Is
any good to come from this magnificent
O. array OF sounding sentences and bal
anced periods? The roaring winds often
have a deep harmony in them, but Of what
use are they to mankind? How much
better it would have been had the recent
great effort ~ been exercised upon an
object worthy of true merit, and of some
relative merit 10 the welfare and we'll
being of mankind"
Mr.. ingalls, has never manifested a dis
position to arouse old feudS. etc. and
if that were left to him we undertake TO
say that the issues comprehended in the
Gazette's catalogue-at least es to per
souaIilies-would never he referred to.
But Is IL expected of him
that when such things are flung
in his face by those of
msavory record he shall play the tur-
toise. and with head covered sit speech
less, thus permitting his own good name
and the memory of those who should be
dear to the hearts of all patriots to be
ruthlessly assailed and besmirched?
The good to come from his mastery
array of facts when thus extorted from
him is the knowledge of historical data
impaired TO the rising generation, much
Of which is not TO be found in any text
book or contemporaneouS history.
OF what use are the roaring winds?
Why, they are simply Invaluable, aye
indispensable, They are the great puri-
tiers of the atmosphere upon which all
animate creation SubSists. But for them
the air would become impregnated with
noxlouS. poisonous gases that are con-
stantly emitted from decaying matter in a
short time 50 that existence would become
uncomfortable. The Gazette NAV make
the application to the moral condition OF
lis party. Our own estimate is that il i
so soul even a Kansas cyclone, such *
prevailed in the east end of the national
capitol on the occasion alluded 10. win
probably furnish osily temporary relief.
Unless the carcaSses OF the victims Of
that atmospheric disturbance are re-
moved the air will in all probability
again become so vicious - to render the
quarters uninhabitable with comfort or
safety.
The welfare and wellbeing of mankind
are considerations that will always
prompt the patriot statesman such as
Ingalls, to respond in their behalf when
ever and wherever occasion calls for such
offices AT their hands. When the enc
mics Of the republic shall cease their
troubling aad permit an era of peace and
good viii towards all men to prevail,
then, and not I'll then VIII the winds
cease to roar, in order TO produce deep
harmony.
Wichita eagle., 1888-05-11
THE TYRANNY OF pocroRcRAcY,

The earl of Dysart writes to the secre-
tary of the London Society for the Adolf
ton of Compulsory Vaccination: we
have thrown off the priesthood. but
question whether our condition IS very
much improved, as in its place we have
that we must always aabriit 70
somebody to tyrannize over US. 1t
seems to me just as preposterous that
some must be blood poisoned by law
that others may be prevented getting
smallpox as that the minority should be
compelled TO adopt the religion OF the ma
jorityi London Star.
This is pretty radical republicanism to
come from under the droppings of the
crown: more radical than the most ultra
democrat in this country would under
take to maintain: The earl seems not
to comprehend the principles that are the
mainstay to the physical well-belng OF
the community. As well say to the citi-
zen who is never attacked on the st Seet
at night and robbed or his business house
or fesidehce bdfglarlzed has no need Of
the police; or that in order to get the
benefit OF the water supply OF the city
that is furnished at the expense OF all
taxpayers, his house must DE fired and
then saved by the nose companies. There
is very little similitude in the smile en-
ployed in the closing sentence quoted to
the point raised by the earl. The princi-
pie involved, in anutshell, as understood
by biggoted Americans, is that San
ounce Of preventive is worth pound of

ROMANCE AND MYSTERY.

From THE London Star.
Mrs. Lawrence CorcOran, of South Or"
ange, n. j.. is shortly coming to London
TO ettdeavGr 10 establish her claim ia
SOME G3GO, 900 left ds the residuary estate
of a Mrs. Blake. The circumstances of
the case are very romantic. In the town
OF Ballow. county Longford, Ireland,
lived Nellie Sheridan, Her beauty cap
tivated Gen. Robert Dudley Blake, of the
English army, and member of D great
and prominent family, teaFifg the
aiIly. he took Nellie to Scotland and
married her The Blakes disowned him;
and thereupon the general, wealthy in
his own right, took his bride to America
and established a large millinery bust
ness in Mansfield, O. Many years ago
he died while in England, leaving all his
possessions 70 his Wifi.
Mrs. Blake was stunned by the Gen
erals family, and some years ago she
died childless at South Kensington. Mr..
Robert Gum, Of 6, Prince of Wales road,
kentish Town, an agent concerned in the
case, informs us that she also died in
testate. Fer wealth would therefore go
80 her nearest teatives: Bit The diff
cuitv occurred is TO whom her relatives
