Some time ago young man who had been
reading one of Edgar Saltus pessimistic novels
committed suicide. His case is recalled by a
recent occurrence in San Francisco. Mrs. Will
lard G. Wright was reading Ella Wheeler Will
cox's Poems of Passion" to her husband,
when the latter pulled revolver from his
pocket and fred four shots at the startled
reader. Fortunately his aim was bad and no
great harm was done. Whether,he was sud-
denly seized with gynephobia at the thought
that woman had written the poems,
or was simply trying to shoot the verse is not
known. At all events, Saltus and Mrs. Wilcox
should be careful about what they write.

BIsMARoK's idea of advancing the Ger
man interests by running the st. james
Gazette as a German organ in London, is
only useful as proof that he does not un-
derstand the Anglo-Saxon view of tree
press. An official organ of the German
Government, published in a free country,
is injurious on account of the valuable white
paper uselessly destroyed in printing it.

The report that the Oil City Derrick will
be removed to Toledo, following the move
ment of the other Standard Oil prop
erty to the Ohio fields, is hard to credit.
We can hardly imagine that the esteemed
Derrick would be available in its regular
role of assuring the people out in Ohio that
reports to the effect that the Standard Oil
Company may refine Ohio oil, are baseless
of a mehdacious Imagination.

sents vessel of over 5000 tons as fine in lines
as is consistent with Rthe great power re-
quired to bear up tine enormous armament of
about 40 guns, ran.ging from four great ten
inch rifles down to Email revolving cannon.
The horse power 9will be 9,OO0, calculated TO
drive the vessel Il; IL knots speed, but the
principal point OF Interest about the ship Is
the fact that, apart from the monitors she will
be the first vessek built since the war that is
really an ironclah, relying not on protective
steel defective tecks but on a sold belt of
heavy steel arn1or encircling her vital parts.
All of the "details of construction are most
cunningly wrought in miniature IN the model,

WHEN it is asserted by General Il. B.
Boynton, the Washington correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, that
the administration has been so busy with

ask whether there is any hope that the great
issue of spoils will be disposed of in time to

The fact that Legislature is to be
elected in New York this year is made the
subject of an appeal by the Press to the Re-

see that an entirely new breed of Legislators
is elected, without regard to party lines.
