I'll that gsp2 Who shall step forth to
store the scream Of the American eagle, re-
inspire Brother Jonathan, and replace the
flag OF our Union9 We feel serene In the
assurance that had "Little Boss" Mills or
"My Love" Dickinson or the "Boundingn
Springer been born under the shadow of
Bunker lllll monument and within hail of
Harvard either could have the situation
without asking. But even in the civil ser
vice locality must have its influence, and so
these eminent intellectual pugUlsts, who
never yet have been knocked out with the
mouth Of man, can not represent the bird
o. freedom In the flstc arena, nor have mis-
cellaneous babies named for them outside
their limited circle Of usefulness.
And so the void remains and aches. 1t is
plain that Boston will have the job OF filling
and OF ameliorating it. The Hub can draw
on its school of philosophy at Concord; Its
base ball club, with Its ten thousand dollar
Kelly; it's school OF technology, where
muscle ia at a premium; its Harvard Col
lege or its board OF aldermen, both OF which
have more or less reputation. With ali
these blooded Institutions and mayor oi
the name of 0'Brlen and member OF the
national cabinet with an anti colonial name
to build upon, II Boston can't restore the
universe to the equilibrium Of the Sullivan
period, then there is no hope for the sons Of
this generation. The Hub Of the universe
will split asunder in its fitful revolutions
and the earth must tumble off its axis. The
man who brought first blood from our own
muscular and sainted John l. the Duke oi
Sullivan, has disarrauged the planetary sys
! TEN and takes the earth for his own.

The Fall of American Muscle.

The Yankee nation is Ia tears. The
American eagle screams In minor key.
Brother Jonathan ceases to crack practical
jokes on John Bull. The stars and Stripes
droop at half mast. The wind is east, and
1t brings from over the sea portentous
wailing and gnashing of teeth in the
American colony. The American Duke of
Muscle has met bis Lordship of Agility.
our Goliath Sullivan has encountered his
David Mitchell. Even our incompatible
and irresistible John J.. has had to bite the
dust beneath the feet Of the despicable
little British Charlie.
American progress has had many set
backs before. but this is an absolute shock.
Sixty million people bewildered,
Stand at gaze like Joshua's moon in AIalon.
Harvard College reviews it's Greek testa-
ment for precedents OF this gigantic fall.
Boston's baked beane have lost their aavor
for the youthful palate. Graham mush
and milk Is no longer the diet for muscu-
lar development. Even the famous brown
bread of the Hub falls into innocuous desue-
tude in high athletic circles. New England
will henceforth revolutionize its course Of
diet, or giants will no more 60 out from
its sacred walls in search of worlds to con-
guer and "blarsted Britons" TO knock out In
the first round, This ls sad, sad sequel to
the glorious recollections of Plymouth
Rock and Bunker Iii |. But what less dis
sster could we expect after the relapse OF
other heroes, like James Russell Lowell,
| from stalwart Amerlcanism ia youth to
supple deyoteeism OF Britain in old age
/ The monstrous thought comes over us like
q tempest cloud that our own, our only,
our peerless John l., has mugwumped, like
so many other statesmen, and gracefully
| bowed the knee to all that is "English,
you know"
The tesrfulest reflections 10 this hour OF
! mourning will swell the hearts OF those who
are rearing the generations OF the future.
Heroes Of the muscle are not so plentiful
found under every belt, The John Sull-
van Joueses, the j. Sulle Smiths the
Johnnie s, Browns can no longer delight
the cradles of ambitious parents, The
descendants of the Washingtons and the
Adamses, OF the Penns and the BAltimores,
Of the Pilgrims and the Knickerbockers can
no longer rehabilitate the tone OF their blood
by adding to their Coats'of.arms the magic
monogram, ~. l.. 50 The charm OF that
great chain of initials is gone forever. The
little British David has laid 1t away with
his tiny sling, and 1t will never more In
spire the American youth, who Is cultured
in worship OF the little hatchet and the
sword Of Bunker Hill, and knows that the
world was completed on the Fourth OF

Clearly, tremendous and an aching void

The Deviltry of Two Men Gets Them

Walker Dean and John Weeden, both
colored, aged respectively 20 and 81, con-
cluded yesterday that the wind was some

the neighborhood of Seventh street and
the Boundary, and 80 concluded to help 1t

rick w. Koss's drug store presented q
bright and shining mark for their spirit of
deviltry, and they proceeded to demolIsh
two large and costly plate.glass windows Of
that establishment, behind which were dis
played a tempting array Of patent medi.

ments. They were caught In the act by
Officer Appleby, Of the eighth precinct,
and lugged OF to the station. A charge of
disorderly conduct was preferred against
them, as they ma no attempt to steal any
OF the contents Of the window.
The affair created quite nutter of ex-
citement at the time 1t, being reported that
one Of the men had knocked the other
through the window, and that fragment
Of the glass had severed an artery in the arm
Of the assaulted man, which resulted In his

The Narrow Escape OF Plato
PrInter.

frinter.
a singular accident occurred at the
bureau of engraving and printing yesterday
afternoon att o'clock, and one which, 10
view Of the large Qusntity OF benzine in the
room at the time, threatened serious couse-
quences. 1t appears that Mr.. Charles
Baker, while engaged IN cleaning the plate
fiom which was being printed bank notes,
held IL over an oil lamp, the custo-
mary method OF drying after each i'm
preston, bis hands being protected by
the rag used to clean the plate off. THIS
reg being thoroughly saturated with benziue
caught fire, though not In actual contact
with the flame. Mr.. Baker waved the rag
in an endeavor to extlngulsh the flame
when, by some means, the can Of benzlne,
which is an adjunct Of eacn
press, exploded, throwing It's blazing
contents upon the face and shoulders OF
the unlucky plate printer. A scene Of To-.
describaple confusion eDsued, the women
shrieking and the men uncertain what to
do. Cool heads quickly extlnguished the
threatening flames before they reached
the other receptacles OF the inilammable
fluid, and speedy attention was given the
unfortunate man, whose moustache had
been singed and whose eyebrows destroyed.
.nstipctively, he had shut his eyes as the
explosion occurred, thus saving his eye
sight, but he was painfully burned in ad-
diilon TO the damage Inflicted upon his
personal beauty.

THE decision of the supreme court OF the
District iu the Crawford case is In plain sc-
cord with the intention of Congress when 1t
made the law under which DR.. Crawford
was tried. There was no concealment OF
the intent of the lawmakers in this case.
The law was made to apply only to the
peculiar tenets as to marriage held by the
Mormops. Mr.. JEFF Chandler took this
position and has acquitted his client. The
decision probably goes further than that,
for as especial legislation" should the
