It Cooled Him Of.
From the Wdshinoton Post.


Andre Matteson, who has been a journalistic
writer in Chicago ever since the day before the
lake came there never becomes angry. He
hops right over anger and becomes mad. One
day several years ago, when collector named
Mulhearn, or something like it, had peStered
him beyond endurance. Mr.. Matteson rushed
into tie Office Of A. ), Trude, the attorney for
the Times, AMI said:
Look mere, Trude, l want to know some
thing This Internal fellow Mulhearn has both
cred me until can't stand it any longer. He
comes to the office and annOys me so that [
can't work, and he goes to my house and drives
my family nearly crazy. What want to know
is whsther there is any law against my taking
a club and smashing his head II he persists in
pestering me-
NIr. TTude calmly took down copy of the
Illinois statutes turned to the index, and con
sumed a good deal of time looking up and down
the column of Ms.
"What are you looking for''' asked Matteson,
considerably cooled by bis long wait.
"You said his name was Mulhearn, did you
notrH
Yes"
We'll" said the lawyer, seriously. Il don't
fad any sucl name in the state laws ald pre-
sumo. therefore, there is nothing unlawful in
the killing of man named Aul1earn Still d"
he continued in grave, business-liks manner
perhaps you would better not do anything
about il until LOOK over some OF the comm
law authorities They may n ention Mulhaarn "
BY this time Mr.. Matteson was calm enough
to resume his work, and with courtiy taanks
for Truds'5 counsel, he returned to his own
office.
"Wheneyer Mattesoa becomes so mad he
can't wor6" explained Mr. Tru1e afterWard
he comes TO my office and asks some such
absurd question, and always treat II in dead
earnest. 1t seems to do him good; and the fun.
NEST part of it al is neither OF us ever treats
the matter as joke, even after it is all over

The Rehrine Sea Question.

According to our dispatches yesterday
| the local press of Victoria, B. c., is of the
/ opinion that a rupture of the present
/ friendly relations between England and
this country is extremely probable. This
opinion IS based upon the fact that three
| British cruisers at that port have been or
! dcced TO sail on June 15 for Behring sea, &c
| protect the English schooners which are
engaged there in catching seals. 1t is not
probable, however, that the local press OF
Victoria knows mt.ln about the matter. II
a rupture between England and this coun-
try were imminent, the fact would be
known in London and Washington before
it would be known in Victoria.
The authorities at Washington do not ap-
prehend any trouble with England Sew
eral naval vessels have been ordered to
Behring sea, but they are not of kind to
cope with the British vessels which are re-
ported to have been ordered there. The
purpose of sending them there is to prevent
the illegal taking of seals in Behring sea-
The Alaska Commercial Company alone
has the right to capture seals in American
waters, and the government is bound to
protect it in its right. The company's lease
expires next spring, however, and it may
not be able to get it renewed.
1t is possible that England does not in
tend to concede exclusive jurisdiction of
Behring sea to this country. Canadians
are now engaged in taking seals in that sea-
and they insist that they have the right to
do so. 1t is true that when this country
purchased Alaska of Russia the understand
ing was that 1t obtained jurisdiction of
Behring sea. Russia undertook to transfer
such jurisdiction. In the treaty which con-
tains the evidence of the purchase it is
clearly stated that Russia transfers Alaska
and jurisdiction of Behring sea to this
country.
The question which arises, however, is
whether Russia had any recognized right
in Behring sea that other nations did not
have. If she had not, then she conveyed
10 such right to this country.
1t is certain that this government claims
jurisdiction of Bering sea. The President,
in a proclamation a few weeks ago, stated
this claim very clearly. Is it the purpose
Of the government to insist upon it if it is
resIstedl That is the question that is now
being asked. the impression appears
to be that neither England nor any
other European country will admit
that this country has exclusive jurisdiction
of Behring sea. The sea is an immense one,
too large, in fact, to be treated as if it were
an inland body of water. From present
indications the Bshring sea qestion will
soon command a good deal OF attention
from this country and England, but it is
hardly probable that it will lead to a rup-
ture between them.

The Baltimore Sensation.

The Rev. H Greenfield Schorr, assistant
of ST. Paul's parish, B Blltimore, an account
of whose suicide was published in our dis
patches on Monday last, was either insane
or wholly unfit for the performance Of the
sacred duties Of a minister of the gospel.
| The most charitable conclusion is that he
was not in his right mind. He kept sec ret
the fact that he was the son of an humbl e
cobbler, who, by the way, appears to be a
very worthy man, because he was ashamed
Of his father. he permitted it to be under
stood that his family was prominent one
| in Central Maryland, and it is now known
that he possessed remarkable faculty for
| lying.
He was quite favorite with women, be-
cause of his pleasant manners and excellent
I conversational powers In the letters which
| he sent to the New York World a day or
two before his death, he declared that he
was about to commit suicide because Mrs.
Margaret NJ. Smith, a wealthy widow of
Baltimore, refused to marry him after hav-
| ing promised to do SO. 1t is alleged, how
ever, that he was entangled with three other
WON n, one of whom he had promised to
marry.
He certainly acted the part of coward
in sending the letters he had received from
Mrs. Smith, together with Photograph of
her, to newspaper, and stating at the same
time that it was because Of her conduct that
he was about - take his life.
Mrs. Smith is about 40 years of age. She
is rich and moves in BAltim)re's best
society. She is a daughter Of the late
Capt. Richard Fitz gerald, who was men-
Der of the firm of Fitzgerald, Booth q Co.,
aud is a niece of Mr.. Washington Booth.
Her letters to the Rev. Mr. Schorr show
that she is refined and lovable woman.
ami that she IS in no respect responsible for
his death She told him that she loved
him. but could not marry him, and the
reasons she gave for her determination were
very satisfactory ones She told
him that there was too great
a difference in their ages, she being 40 and
he % His violent conduct on several occa-
sions when he visited her alarmed her and
led her TO believe that she could never be

| There is nothing in her published letters of

| but the act Of the Rsv. Mr.. Sch)rr il Civ

death upon her, shows that in refusing to

The Rev J. c. Meyers of State Line, Ind
is a good man and good preacher, but that
fact did not save him from being struck by
lightning. Last Sunday he filled the pul pit
of the Christian church in New Liberty,
Fountain county, Indiana. While Mr.. Meyers
was preaching a binding bolt of lightning
descended, destroying the church chimney.
Following along the stovepipe, which ran
around the room, it crushed the two stoves
into fragments and tore up the floor. After
leaving the chimney the bolt separated, aud
portion of it ran down the chandelier
over the pulpit, striking Mr.. Meyers in the
back Of the head. He turned a somersault,
fell heavily to the floor, and was thought to
be dead. He lay in an unconscious condi-
ton for more than a half hour. On the
back of Mr.. Meyers head, where The light
ming struck him. is a bruised place about
the size of a silver dollar. His face appears
burnt, and his sight is nearly destroyed In
future Mr.. Myers will probably give the
New Liberty church a wide birth. The
lightning there seems to be too familiar
with the pulpit.
