The shipowners Of Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick are already taking stops to
protect themselves from Mr.. James ID.
Leary, whose latest timber raft arrived
safely in New York from Nova Scotia.
They will probably succeed in getting tho
government to prohibit the departure to
sea of large timber RATS. 1t is very evident
that tine owners of coasting vessels will
receive black eye If Mr.. Leary is allowed
10 continue to ship timber in rafts.

The recent collision between the Thing
valla and the Geiser, III which the latter
was sunk, with a terrible loss of life, serves
to call attention to a bill which Senator
Palmer introduced some time ago. The bill
provides for an international maritime con-
ference, at which the subject of safety at
sea is to be fully discussed. and, if possible,
measures adopted to cause a decrease in the
number of ocean accidents. 1t seems to
have been forgotten by the senators, and
even Mr.. Palmer apparently had lost sight
of it, but now it will probably come up for
its share of attention.

Here is an example of the depths to which
political prejudice may carry man who
is devoid of principle and good sense. The
Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune gratuitously insults Senator
Colquitt as follows-if words from such a
source may be called an insult: For the
Pecksnif of American politics commend
me to Senator Colquitt of Georgia A more
sniveling humbug never lived. He quotes
the Bible aud addresses Sunday school
classes in the morning, and in the afternoon
dispenses federal pap to the boys He is
not above profiting from the peculiarly
southern pastime, sometimes called ballot
box stufiing,' either He would Scorn, how
ever, TO be put down as political huckster
No, his pride consists in being called the
leader of the temperance movement in
Georgia-temperate in everything except
political fanaticism. And to secure this no
will do almost anything" Perhaps the
secret Of this attack is that Senator Col
quits tariff speech, which is in greater
demand than that of any other senator,
will play havoc with republican hopes in
some states.

Fighting Superstition.

Dan Lyons, the New York tough who
killed Quinn, an athlete, in that city some
time ago, would have been hanged last Fri
day had he not been respited until Tuesday by
Gov. Hill. There seems to be no doubt that
Lyons deserves his fate. He was proud of
his reputation as a tough, was all the time
''spoiling for a fight" and always kept q
pistol handy. Such people are almost GER
tain to get into trouble, and no one who
knew Lyons was surprised to hear that he
had committed murder
Probably the public is acquainted with
the particulars of the crime, but it does not
know why Gov Hill granted respite
1t appears that the governor is fighting
superstition. The judge who sentenced
Lyons belongs to the old regime, so he fixed
| upon Friday as the day for the execution.
In his order of reprieve, Gov. Hill refers to
| the custom, SO long in vogue, of having
| executions on that day, and declares his
belief that it is better that they should not
occur uniformly on Friday. Being ques-
| toned by a reporter concerning his
action, he said: Il have hatred
for all manner of superstitions 1t has
diNh1S uoh hc 40 peculiarly SSlS6leSS
that one day OF the week should have come
to be regarded as an unlucky one. l once
devoted considerable time to a search for
some historical explanation for the prefer
ence Of Friday as a hangmnu's day, but |
was able only to learn that Friday had thus
been mistreated for centuries in England
and in some other countries. The source of
the usage is unknown, unless tho theory be
accepted that it came from the crucitixion
of Christ on that day. If that be true, it
is surely very inappropriate to hang crimi-
nails on a day distinguished by the great
martyrdom. Good Friday should surely
not be turned into bad Friday"
If Gov. Hill can do anything toward re-
lieving Friday of opprobrium and doing
away with the superstitions that attach to
it, he will be entitled to the thanks of the
public. Or course there is no good reason
why Friday should be singled out as day
of i'll luck, but there are thousands of people
who refuse to begin piece of work on that
| day. Gov. Hill should have the co-opera-
ton of the bench in his laudable effort.

But IL is hard TO decide whether the man
who comes out here sick and goes home well
or the man who comes out here well and has
such good time he goes homo sick Is the
most effective advertiser. OF course, we
really make more money out Of the sick
people than out OF the well ones. We may
lose ON the well ones. Hospitality is expen-
sive, whereas doctors and drug stores and
delicacies suited to sick people are all pro
ductive Of pecuniary profit and bring money
here. We give them climate, Of course, but
climate does not cost anything, however valu-
able health may be to them.
There does not seem to be any impropriety
in sending in big bill to sick man. He
comes cut ready for it and be expects to pay.
Yet he has no fun and precious little comfort
when he is i'll. But when fellow is well
enough to go down in the office Of hotel and
kick about the extras everybody seems anx-
ious to make him comfortable. A man who
is well and has good time comes back again.
A man always returns to the place where he
had good time; but man who has gotten
over serious attack Of sickness here is liable
never TO want TO come back. And there are
after all a great many more well people who
want good time than sick people who want
to find recuperative climate. Perhaps it
would be better to drop our cry about the
climate and make our motto "A Good Time.

To the uninitiated 1t is a great puzzle how
the dangers of lightning are averted where
there are SO many conductors of electricity
as In telegraph office. More than 1000
different wires come into the Western Union
building, and run more or less directly to the
desks of the operators, Even when less
electric attractions are wanting, most people
confess TO certain feeling Of insecurity
when the elements rage and wake up ter,ify-
ing flashes Of forked fury. Nearly half the
operators are young women, and they may
be expected to share the general sentiments
of their sex concerning this uncertain and
wicked looking force. But science has pro-
vided an answer to this, as well as to almost
all other puzzles which stand in the way of
human progress
Every wire, as it enters the building,
passes through the bottom Of a long narrow
board, and then again through it at the top.
This board is a lightning arrester. If the
current Is heavy, its first effect is to deprive
OF 1t of much of its force Should even this
fail to deprive the current Of its fatal power,
and it passes on to the top of the board, it
touches spring which drops instantly and
shuts Of all connection with the operating
room. The spring is called the plush mag
net, and beyond it no overcharge OF light
ming, whether proceeding from storm or
from contact with other wires, can possibly
go. Absolute security from outside cleo
trical influences is thus insured The wires
proceed directly from the street to the
switchboard in the operating room, where
they are stopped. The wires attached to the
machines in tine room all run to this board,
and connections are established there with

and good natured, Is famous for numberless
smart sayings in official and private inter-
course. A few of the numerous jeux d'esprit
attributed to him will show the bent of his
yhtly and high principled mind. When
Prince William, his eldest son, WINS sent to
