Sheriff Fiack Of New York objects Ia
trial by newspaper aud no wonder h.
does.
Some three weeks ago lie secured u
divorce from his wife 10y fraud and col!
!usion. The newspapers took the mat
ter up ~ soon as the decree was put
lished. and Notwithstanding Mr.. flacs =
high official position. and his powerful
pull In politics, they absolutely com
pcllei the court TO annul that decree.
In addition to this, the pressure of pub
lie opinion became so strong that Mr
Flack was forced TO resign his position
as grand sacbem Of Tammany.
II IL had not been for the honest and
fearless press. Sheriff Flack would have
succeeded in his vile schemes against
his wife. and n grca, wrong and in
Justice would have been done. Oi
course. according TO Judge S,uarts pc
culiar sixteenth century views, the New
York papers were guilty Of gross con
tempt in questioning the Court of Com
mon Pleas in granting the divorce. bn'
none Of the Judges who were so severely
censured by the press Of New York had
the temcrity to cite the editors for con
tempt.
Trial by newspaper" is apt TO be n,
fair and AS intelligent as trial by court
and jury. The newspapers generally
attempt to lay the facts In the case be-
fore the public. and after all, that is the
best way to arrive nj the truth. In tho
case in point, sheriff Flack will find
that the verdict of the newspapers is
very heartily endorsed by honest public
opinion. n.-Denver Republican.

Diet of the Aged.

An authority of no less weight than
Sir Henry Thompson declares, in re-
cent handbook, that considerable more
than half of the disease which embit-
tiers life among the middle and upper
classes of the population is due to
avoidable errors in diet. And while
he tells us that with few exceptions
men aud women are healthier and
stronger in every way without alco-
holic drinks than with them he does
not hesitate TO declare. at the same
time, that more mischief, in the form
of active disease, impaired vigor and
shortened lite, arises from erroneous
habits in eating than from the occas-
ional use of alcoholic drink, great as
he knows the evil Of it to be.
Sir Henry does not think it a bad
sign that the appetite should diminish
ms the age increases; aud he depre-
Gates any attempt by Stimulants or
tonics or concentrated foods TO inn
prove the appetite in such cases. As
we increase in age we put forth less
energy and activity, and as a conse-
quence we have less power to ellmin-
ate excess of food. The scientific view
of the case is simple enough to be pop
ularly comprehended. The oyer-sup-
ply of nutrition must be thrown of
or absorbed into the system. With
the young the surplus is got rid Of by
active work or exercise; but even in
tender years it makes its presence felt
in occasional sickness. From about
middle life onward it is packed away
in the torm of fat; and it may make its
presence huowu by interfering with
the action of the liver, by rheumatic
attacks and obscure and troublesome
diseases.
While coudemning excess generally,
Sir Henry Thompson holds, with Cor
marc, that from middle life onward
persons who would have health and
long life go together must conform to
nature and reduce the daily supply of
food When 70 is reached it is more
than ever necessary, he tells us, that
this shold be done; and in the same
way at 50. with less activity, there
must be less support. If this course
be followed right good and happy
and even useful old age may be eu-
loved, providing. Of course. there is no
inherited faint to be combated aud acct
dents do not come in the way

A Cool THIEF

The remarkable GOODNESS of a Pitts
burg burglar assisted him to escape.
He broke into a laundry and while
sorting the garments into a large
clothes-basket was surprised bv two
officers who appeared at window
opening into the yard. The fellow
worked so Systematically and quietly
that the officials thought that he was
an employe of the establishment and
they therefore asked him why he work
ed at so late m hour. He replied. Il
am getting the things ready for the
girls, who will be up soon to do the
ironing. I get $40 month and have
TO work awful hard to keep my place"
He then went 70 the window and put
ting his arms on the sill said: "Mvl
but this is a disagreeahle night to be
out IN. | would not like to be in the
place Of either Of YOU gentlemen.

yard and the thief thereupon made for
the front door aud escaped, carving

A Cobra's Vengeance.

Those who are familiar with the
habits of snakes say that when a per-
son kills a snake he must look out for
its mate. In the H0meWdrd Mail the
following tragic incident of a cobra's
vengeance is related of Andrew Fisch-
er, an empoye of ;he Madras Railway
Company. One day, while seated in
the veranda of his bungalow, he OBJ
served two large cobras on the barren
plain Immediately in front of the
house.
Aiming himself with a stout stick,
he proceeded to the spot and encount-
cred the snakes. He succeeded in kill
ing one of them, while the other which
had been slightly wounded, managed
to escape. MIR. Fischer hunted about
for the runaway but could not find it.
He then returned To his bungalow and
rested for some time, as he was of
duty.
Later in the day he prepared to 90
to his work, aud with that object got
out his clothes to dress. He sat on his
cot and was about to put on his shirt
when he felt something bite him on
the back.
lie turned round, and, to his horror,
found a snake on the cot behind him,
which he is said to have recognized as
the cobra he had wounded that morn
ing, He Immediately sought relief,
and all kinds of remedies were APP
piled, but to no effect, and he died IN
the evening.
1t is commonly believed among the
HinGus that no animal is more revenge
full than the cobra. and that if an at
tempt is made to kill it, and il escapes.
it never gives itself rest until it has
wreaked its vengeance upon its as
sailant.

the Philadelphia Telegraph, Is be-
coming almost as common among
statesmen as with school girls and de-
butantes in Washington society.
On one side of tie main door Of the
House in the corridor is little stand
where newspapers, cigars. tobacco,
gum and candy are sold in small guam
Titles. AT any moment during the
progress of the session from one to
half dozen members mas be seen
about this stand stufiiing little paper
packages into their cOat-taiI pockets.
! asked the yender to-day what il was
the members bought so much of. He
said mostly gum and caramels. Mem
bers neither chew or smoke as much
as formerly.
Mr.. Kelley and Mr.. Buchanan are
responsible for this tobacco reform.
BY constant and open protest Mr.. KEEL
ley has made it very embarrassing for
fellow member TO undertake the
task Of vitiatiug the atmosphere of
the House with tobacco smoke;
and Mr.. Buchanan checked BIZ
a formal resolution. which was after
ward considered and reported on bv
mon. Of splitting in the air ducts that
open up through the floor.
Comparatively few cigars are now
gold to members at the Capital stands,
and many members have abandoned
the habit of chewing tobacco. The
vender told me that he used to sell
more tobacco than anything else. Now
it hardly pays 10 keep it on hand. In
stead of it he sells about $50 sticks of
gum and ten pounds Of caramels to the
members of the House each day. Tom
Reed, the Republican leader. chews
gum, when he is not chewing at tho
ear Of the Democratic party. He sits
and works his jaw upon this elastic
cushion while listening TO Mr. Mills or
Mr. Breckenridge. When he gets up
to reply he stuifs The gum in the back
part of his Jaw with his tongue, aad
draws gall from its sweelened flavor.
Mr. Springer has broken himself Of
the habit Of talking all the time by
keeping piece Of gum in his mouth.
An effort is being made, in a reforma-
tory way to induce Mr. Buchanan and
Mr.. Taulbee to chew gum It has
worked well upon other sides besides
Mr.. Springer.
Mr. Cox is said to chew little now.
but his silence is always regretted
Mr.. Johnson. of Indiana, soothes his
nerves by the use Of gum. He has had
about three attacks of nervous excite
ment since he contracted the gum
chewing habit.
Mr.. Bliss is said to have contracted
tha hit from constant assopiation
with the young ladies of Washington.
He chews about rs much as any man
in the House. Senator Hoar chews
gum, aud occasionally reads light
romance. Next to Mr.. Reed and Mr..
Bliss, Tarnsney, Of Michigan, is the
greatest gnm-chewer in the House.

THE MODERN SOCIETY NOVEL
Various Hints for Its Construction ana
Developments.


1. Law your scene in the best society
of one Of our great cities or else III a
fashionable watering-place. Let all
your leading dramatis persona, be-
sides being elegant and wealthy, be
also handsome. brilliant, and cultured.
Carefully avoid poor people, the work
inr classes and the zealOts who sup
port our religious institutions. All ot
these are marked by "bad form, ana
are unspeakably repulsive to the re-
fined persons who compose the beau
monde
9. Plots are archaic Select some
exquisite motif involving the morbid
relationship between a hero and a
heroine. The greater the realistic I'M
naturaism, the better from an estetic
point Of view Delicate hints at Pari-
sian, Greek, and oriental deprauity
are of the highest value. Avoid or
else sneer at all pious platitudes. In
the literature of the future, chastity,
virtue, womanhood, manhood, self-re-
spect and self-sacritice have no raison
d'etre and therefore no place.
8. If you quote from English au-
thors confine yourself to Byron, Swim
burne, 0uida, and Ella Wheeler-Wil-
cox. Use French as often as possible,
and show thorough familiarity with
Gautier, De Musset. Beaudelaire,
Daudet, and Bejot IN using these
masterpieces Of emotionalism, you may
translate the less suggestive and
soulful lines. but not the others.
This displays rare scholarship on the
one hand, and on the other presents
any possible collision with Anthony
Comstock
4. Let your style be suggestive,
witty, cynical, and circumlocutory.
Make liberal use of asterisks and
long dashes. Under the benign eyes
of science that which is foul and lor-
rible becomes beautiful aud alluring,
and when properly described are emf
nently proper subjects for the writer's
pen.
3. In the evolution of the story let
the soul Of conscience Chose from the
standpoint OF both novelist aud mater
ialist are the same) of the heroine be
the chief scene of activity, and let
there be suggested the impulses which
later on express themselves III acuon.
To produce an artistic contrast, intro
duce here and there types of the past,
ridiculous, and uncultured folks who
still twaddle Of a 'power that makes
for Righteousness"
6. Avoid pedantry. Only teachers.
cads, and sophomores ever display
learning in public. A few words JUDI
ciously selected from the technique of
music, art, geology, and the stage are
sufficient to show that you belong to
the creme de Ia creme and are also cos
mopolitan in your ideas. A half-dozen
stock double entries from the Euro
pean languages may be probably en-
ployed.
BY acting upon these suggestions
you will become admired openly by
thousands and secretly by tens of
thousands; you will receive handsome
orders and still handsomer checks from
shrewd publishers, and above all, you
will earn the appreciation Of those who
substitute pleasure for drcary alb
stractious sensation for right living,
and Indifference or doubt for hope,
faith, and their Anticipated kindred. -
