PAVING IN EUROPE AND AMERICA.

From the Omaha World;
1t is rather remarkable that while
American cities are one after another
discarding and abandoning cedar block
paving because it is unhealthful and I'M
endurable, European cities, notably Lon
don and Paris, are discarding stone and
other permanent materials and laying a
good deal of wooden block. The cause
alleged is that noisy pavements breed
nervous diseases, render streets I'M
pleasant to drive over and do immense
injury to horses.
In defense of the European policy it is
said that the wooden pavements as laid
in London and Paris are incomparably
better than those ordinarily laid In
America, being made of seasoned cedar.
treated on the most scientific principles
and put upon an excellent foundation.
Omaha has now had good deal Of
experience of her own and it has taught
that wooden pavements are pleasant to
drive on, short lived and unhealthy;
stone pavements disagreeable to drive
on, noisy and permanent; while asphalt
Uum combines many Of the virtues OF
each, and is only subject to one serious
disadvantage-tha of being slippery at
times.
Has not asphaltum been found the
pavement best suited for Omaha on the
whole? 1t is unfortunate that Its cost Is
not less.

ROLL OF DISASTERS


The Conemaugh valley calamity ap-
pears to US to be the greatest that ever
was known, SO close are we to it. 1t is
not, however, so conspicuous an eXcep
ton in things terrible as we are led to
believe. The floods Of China have often
times far exceeded it in the number of
lives lost owing to the greater density of
population of the devastated districts.
The greatest disasters, however, have not
been by water, if we except the deluge.
Though there have been innumerable
foundations in which estimable property
has been destroyed, the average loss of
life has been moderate compared with
the victims Of earthquakes. Among the
multitudinous earthquakes of modern
times a gloomy interest may be felt in
the record of the most conspicuous. In
their chronological order they were as
follows: December 5, 1856, at Naples,
40, 900 persons were destroyed; Deem
Der 26, 1851, at Lisbon, 10000; July 2,
in Japan, several cities and thousands
of lives destroyed; July 80, 1926, at
Naples, 10000; April 6. 1867, at Ragusa
5000; during three months, 1867, at
Schamaki, $4,000; in September, 1893, in
Sicily, 100. 900; in 1908, at Jeddo, 200, 900;
May and June, 1915, at Algiers, $4,000;
November 80, 1871, at Pekin, 100000;
October %, 1746, at Lima and Callao,
$4,000, September 1854, at Grand Cairo,
10000; November /, 1866, at Lisbon,
$4,000; February 4, 1897, in the country
lying between Santa Fe and Panama,
$1,000; August IA, 1851, at Melfi, Italy,
IA 900; December Is, 1857, at Calabria,
10000; March 90, 1860. at Mendoza,
South America, 1000: August Is and 10.
in Peru and Ecuador, $4,000.
The most destructive foundations
are those in April II, 1921, when the
sea broke over bort, drowning 100000
people; in 1880, when Holland was over
whelmed and 10000 person drowned,
and in 1917, when sc, 900 were drowned
at Catalonia. There have been numer-
Gus floods in which as many as 1000 per-
sons were drowned, and those in which
record.
Fires have been fatal to large num-
bers at times, but have been more hurt
full in working restitution upon masses
than in the actual destruction of life.
During the London fire of 1912 there
were 1900 lives lost, but that was
through the drowning of the crowd
driven into the water. The forest fires
of October, 1871, burning in Michigan
and Wisconsin were perhaps the most
destructive of life in history, 1900 lives
being lost. In the great Chicago fire of
the same time there were but 200 lives
reported lost, though it was impossible
to ascertain whether that was the maxi
mum tipllre

FARMERS AND MORTGAGES.

Chicago 1nter-Ocean.
We clip this reflection from the Louis
vile Courier-Journal:
The northwestern farmer is joined to
his mortgage. Let him alone.
Well, just let him alone; that's all he
wants. He is joined to his mortgage,
but by bonds which he is severing very
rapidly. He bought some land and bor-
rowed money to pay for it and improve
it. He could sell it today for more than
he gave for it. His mortgage will be
iquidated when it comes due. If he
could not have joined himself TO a mort
gage he could not have Joined himself 10
farm. He will cleave to the farm and
will strike off the mortgage.
And why is it 1.-The northwestern far
merr to whom you address all your
preachments about mortgages? Why
not talk TO the farmers of the eastern
and middle states? Just because, as a
body, the farmers of these states are not
troubled by mortgage. And why not:
Partly because they did not begin busI-
ness on credit, partly because the numer-
Gus centerS OF protected industries az
forded them near and profitable markets
for their products. The northwestern
farmer will be near TO towns and cities
before long. His mortgages will be re-
deemed. His surplus capital viii be in
vested in sugar retineriesor town lots. He
is getting along very well. Let him
alone. Some day immigration may roll
southwark; then there viii be a market
for southern land: then there will be
mortgages to secure balances of unpaid
purchase money. There are mortgages
on western lands just because western
lands are in demand, they are in demand
because they are profitable investments.

Law Cookies Start.

Nj. Pitt Cooke once told me how bis brother
Jsy happened to get into the banking bust
ness, and as nearly as can reoollect it was
as follows: The Cookies were living II house
on Columbus avenue (Sandusky1, near the
present site of the Second National bank
One day, when the family were seated at the
dinner table, Eleutberos Cooke, the father,
said in spirit of pleasantly: Wen, boys,
you must look out for yourselves. Ihave sold
this house to Squire Beatty, and We have no
home now" Jay was the only one who took
the matter seriously. He obtained situation
In store that afternoon, subsequently &C
oompanied his employer to Philadelphia, and
this opened the way for bin to the position
Of clerk in banking house, and from this
humble start In life he became the financial
agent OF the United States--Howes Htseori-

THE BEHR1NG SEA DISPUTE.

AS possibIe international complications
| NAV grow out of the ~Behring sea trouble
an outline of the relative positions OF our
| government to that of Great Britain in
the matter and their respective claims
may not be inappropriate at this time.
This government claims, in substance,
that it has the exclusive right to fish for
and protect seal and other fisheries with
in the entire boundaries of the territory
it purchased from Russia, and that these
waters are subject to the usual conditions
that appertain to an enclosed sea. The
Russian government, having exercised
these rights for at least a century prior
to selling this domain to the United
States, necessarily coded with the terri
tory the rights it possessed in the prem
| ises.
These rights have been expressed from
time to time in statutes, made for the
protection of our fisheries in the waters
in dispute, and which were reasserted
by express legislation by this govern
ment. The islands of st. George and
st. Paul are government reservations
and lie about the center of the waters in
dispute. The east line of our purchaae
is the line between Russian and British
possessions, and the western boundary is
line from the Arctic ocean through
Behring straits, bearing southwesterly
to the North Pacific ocean. This divides
Behring sea in two. In these bounds we
claim is embraced the Alaska as pur
chased from Russia. The United States
passed strict laws to protect the fish in
these waters, not only against foreign
marauders, out against our own fisher
men as well, and specially prohibited
the killing of female seals, and also
limited the taking of males.
This is absolutely necessary in order to
prevent them from entire determination,
and the rights we insist upon are more
for this purpose than territorial in their
claims. The claim by the British gov
eminent is. that we possess no rights ex-
tending beyond one marine league from
the shoe Line. The claim concerning
the league limit has been before discussed
and insisted upon. But this government
proceeds upon the basis that the Behring
sea is a closed sea, and, therefore, our
jurisdiction is not limited to marine
league. The only litigation yet had
upon the question was upon the act Of
congress of July, 1868, wherein the
United States claimed exclusive juris-
diction in these waters. The con-
stitutionality of this act was questioned
by the British government, in the case
of the schooners seized for killing seals
in 1887 within the boundaries now
claimed, but the courts dismissed the
case, and the schooners were forfeited.
1t seems, then, to be a question Of
whether the waters in dispute come
within the definition of a " closed" sea,
or whether it is an open one. The ques
ton may cause considerable trouble in
its settlement, and will doubtless exer-
else the minds of our best constitutional
lawyers, to- determine some fine points
Of marine and international law.

THE TRUTH AT LAST.

From the Sumner County News.
The Democratic liars at Fl. Smith,
Ark, telegraphed over the country a
statement that all the people there, with
out regard to party, denounced General
Kelley's speech; and that a meeting of
Union so diers condemned it. Tie meet
ing referred to was composed entirely of
Democrats, with three exceptions, and
they were mugwumps. The Grand
Army post at Fl. Smith has adopted a
resolution, by unanimous vote, warmly
endorsing General Kelley's speech; de-
claring that he spoke the truth; denying
the assertion that he assailed the state;
and thanking him for his frankness and
courage in denouncing the assassination
of his comrades. General Kelley has
received copy of the resolutions.

From the Lawrence Tribune.

From the Lawrence Tribune.
Mr.. J. D. Bowersock went to Kansas
City yesterday and had an interview
with Newman Erb, manager of the K:
G. w. & N. w. railroad. The result OF
the meeting was that the transfer OF the
Carbondale railroad was provided for,
and there is no longer any doubt but
that at last the Carbonate is to be In
reality a railroad, and Lawrence will re-
ceive some returns for the investment of
years ago. Repairs will be commenced
within week and pushed rapidly for
ward. New ties have been ordered and
the rails contracted for. The road, when
ready for business, will afford northern
and southern outlet for all products rails
ed and manufactured in this section.
There is no question but this new road
will prove valuable accession to Law
renee and Douglas county.

Modern CruSOeS.

Nine shipwrecked sailors lived for
over three weeks in April last, on desert
island only thirty miles from the south
east corner of Jamica. They were en-
tirelY naked, for in their terrible strug-
gle to get ashore after their bark had
foundered on a coral reef, they lost all
their clothing. For two days they were
without drink, but they finally obtained,
by digging, small supply Of very brack-
ish water. They had no means Of kin
ding fire, and were compelled to eat
their food rev. They found few cocoa
nuts, caught few birds and number
of sea crabs, and eked out their very
meager diet with some little roots like
the common white radish. Their story
is all the more interesting because the
adventure occurred in the West Indies,
within a short distance of the large town
of Kingston, Jamaica, where it would
hardly be believed that shipwrecked
sailors could suffer so long without sue
cor. In fact, relief did not come until
after two of the crew had reached ia
maica on a raft.

If the Cronin murder mystery should
finally fail of satisfactory solution,
which is altogether probable, it will not
be from the want of ingenuity on the
part of the officials who have the matter
in hand. Every scheme imaginable has
been employed to obtain confession
from some one supposed to have been
connected with the case, but SO far with
out success. There is little doubt that
the murder was the result of con5pir-
acY on the part of members of an Irish
secret society. Whether they were IN
stigated into the plot by officers Of the
society and prominent members of that
nationality, or concocted and executed
the scheme for removing Cronin on their
own responsibility under the inspiration
of mistaken zeal, matters but little as
far as the outcome of the affair is con-
cerned; the perpetrators are and will be
as close mouthed in the one event as the
other, for they know it will be death to
divulge, while by silence it will be impos-
sible to convict. Besides, the Irish are
not noted for their squealing propensities
under any circumstances where Irish in
tere5ts are in any way involved.

Commenting upon the recent prohibit

remarks that 1.-THE other Prohibition
party that was in the field last year only
brought defeat and Encouragement on
the movement because it would listen to
no concessions If the people of this

all this is beyond question. The people
east, it seems, did unite; but the trouble
was that they united on the wrong side.

Few Women Stutter.

non anne.
Few women stutter. The proportion
of sufferers must be five men to one
woman. Women talk faster than men
as rule. Their lungs are not as free as
a mans to expand. The reason why
they do not stutter SO much as men is
chiefly because they naturally sound the
vowels more than men do. Men clip
words more than women do; they abbre-
viate more than women do; they talk in
a rougher, more abrupt way. From a
party of men does not arise the same
soft murmur of conversation that comes
from party of women talking. The
woman's voice and tones are softer,
which comes to great extent from the
better use of the vowels

EXCHANGE SHOTS.
Russian Discrimination.

Russia permits women TO practice
medicine, but benevolently compels them
to confine their practice to children and
adults of their own sex. 1t is rather
hard to determine the cause of such dis
elimination here, where there are many
female medicos who have attained dis
tinction in their pursuit.

The Wichita Rates.
Sterling Gazette

Sterling GaZette.
The cities and towns of Kansas are
again under obligations to Wichita fol-
showing them how to do the right thing
at the right time. The producers and
consumers of central Kansas are under q
new and lasting obligation to Wichita
for opening up wholesale mart and Sc
curing therefor reduced rates of freight
which save dollars and cents to every
citizen of the empire of this vast region.
This is no cause for jealousy on the part
of any, for it is open to all Kansas to sc
and do as Wichita has done.
