$ The common reputation Of the tramp as a
shiftless, played-out sort of fellow, who has
outgrown any desire to find employment or
live decent life, does not do exact justice
to good many who have acquired the ILL
favored title. The naturally vicious and
brutal classes of society do not often become
tramps. They want to have more exciting
life than tramping affords, and get hold Of
more good things. The tramp usually gets
into that track from lack of employment and
shortage in the department of push and
energy. He is discouraged and loses his man.

Another who graduated with collegiate

occurred to them, and this is fault too
common with men engaged in scientific
pursuits.
The fault in the CRoNIN case was OF
still more serious nature, because 1T eX-
hibits the inability of our laws and of
the guardians of law to protect life
when it is known to be exposed to dan
ger. 1t Is now known that CRONIN had
knowledge of the existence OF a con-
spiracy against his life. This fact was
communicated to the police authorities
in Chicago aud to the law officers OF the
state OF Illinois, and no effort was made
to ferret out the conspiracy or take any
precautions to protect the doomed man
from the assassins who were known to
be lying in wait for the opportunity to
kill him. On the contrary, when CRONIN
was assassinated, the representatives
of the law were the first to suggest the
theory that he had fled the country, and
in support of this theory worked up the
case just far enough to show that he had
motive for going away. There they
rested, and nothing more would ever
have been known but for the accidental
finding of the body in catchbasin.
And now that it is positively known
that he was murdered, the still more
singular part of it is that the officials
are making no exertion to unravel the
mystery, but are depending wholly
upon the exertionS of CRoNIN's friends.
who have put the case in the hands of
a private detective agency.
These two occurrences suggest that
we need some amendments to our GRIM
inal laws. In the first place, there
should be strict, clear and positive
limitation placed on the rights and priv
ileges of scientists, particularly where
they are making experiments in the in
tereSt of science on human bodies.
Then, again, there should be thorough
and efficient detective system main
tanned in each community at public ex-
pense. There is no fault to find with
the numerous private detective agencies
throughout the country, for in most
cases they do most excellent work. But
the point we are making is that the
public officials whose duty it is to en-
force the criminal laws should be pro-
vided with thoroughly equipped de-
tective force, to be maintained at public
expense, so that the work of ferreting
out crime should not be the heavy
expense to private individuals that it
is now

DRAMATIC DRIFT.

Chicago theater audiences are unusually
discriminating. They Missed Kyrle Bellew
the other night when he first made his ap-

way they showed their contempt for the man
and their admiration for his art. Kyrle had

THE BISHOP case. with its possibility
of sad blunder, gives special interest
to the condition Of Miss KATIE PATTEN,
of Boston, the pretty maiden of twenty
two years. The physicians all pro-
nounced her dead from a malignant
type of diphtheria. They had about
completed their certificate of her death
when she was able to feebly insist that
she was not dead. Three times she
went into trance states, and all action
of the heart ceased. In the last one the
jaw dropped, and all the usual signs of
death were apparent. The family, as
we'll as the doctors, were satisfied Of her
death, and the body was laid out for
burial; but she revived, and is likely to
recover. A consultation OF physicians
was held, and all were positive that life
had departed. In this case there was
no known disposition of an abnormal
nature. Her disease was not such as to
afford any presumptions of suspended
animation. 1t is an illustration of the
uncertainty OF the ordinary tests of
death, and especially calculated to

For those who are anxious to see the
practical operation of the recent I'M
pr0vements and devices in the way of
destroying people and things IN war,
this year does not hold out any very
cheerful promise. There is growing
hesitancy in the great powers to take
the chances and incur the vast expense.
The war clouds in Europe do not show
much lightning. The best chance for
fight is in South America, between
Paraguay and Brazil on one side and
Bolivia on the other. The latter, how
ever. is not likely to be able to carry on
a long contest, and the wars in that
quarter have been on too small scale
and not we'll enough up in the artistic
features to elicit much interest. Still,

may be of service to the world when

Africa and Asia do not count for much

And somber twilight ends the day.
