MENAcEs OF THE OCEAN.

Could be Divided by Southern
Course.
Philadelphia Press.
1t will be an interesting fact for the
inter-ocean steamship companies and
the patrons of the transatlantic lines, to
learn that the various accidents and
narrow escapes from collisions with
icebergs during the last two months
could have been avoided by observing
the course laid out by the United States
photographic office. This office has
been each month sending out warnings
Of the amount Of ice in the North
Atlantic, caused by peculiar climatic
conditions in the Arctic. The drift of
the vast ice-felds and monster bergs
was directly in the line of ocean steam
ships. Special bulletins have from
time to time appeared indicating the
position of the ice and its probable lOca-
ton in the immediate future.
During the month of May there have
been six notable encounters with ice,
five of which were by passenger steam
ships. One, the Partisan, while steam
ing at the rate of six miles an hour in a
heavy fog, narrowly escaped deStruc-
ton by collision with huge berg. 1t
was sighted about forty yards ahead.
and although engines were reversed
the vessel ran on an outlying ledge,
but slid off without damage. The
North King was in the ice Off the Grand
Banks for several days, and had some
of her bow plates torn off. The
Beacon Light while running at full
speed in dense fog struck berg 80
feet high and 600 feet long. The blow
was glancing one and injured her
bow slightly. The forecastle deck was
crushed and the hull injured The
Thingvalla and the NOrmannia and
another large vessel completed the list
nearly hundred others reported by
smaller vessels. This years ice con-
dition has disturbed the usual arrange
ment. The ice has come continuously
in mammoth unbrOken masses as far
south as the latitude of Boston.
Other menaceS of transatlantic travel
discovered this month are three
derelicts in the path of steamers. A
naval officer, in referring to the disre-
gard by steamers of the photographic
office warning, said the blame rests
with the companies. They indicate
certain lines to be followed by the
steamers. the idea being to establish a
beaten path, where aid from passing
steamers could be secured In event Of
accident. He could see no reason, how
ever, for the failure to adopt slightly
southern course. The Arctic has by
this southern drift been cleared OF
more ice than ever before within the
period of authentic record, end the
photographers here say that a vessel
equipped for northern exploration
could now probably reach the north
pole without much difficulty. The
return is not considered.

The Sensitiveness of Youth.

Scribner's Magazine.
Boys, especially, shrink from any ap-
proach to ridicule on the part of their
elders. Only yesterday wise and
amiabIe philosopher confessed to me
that his disapproval of certain person
of note arose from nothing more serious
than an unlucky question put to him in
his boyhood by the celebrity we were
discussing. The man, meaning to be
pleasantly jocose, IN the presence of
others, had asked the boy what he
thought of matters and things in gen
eral The fitting repartee is not appar-
ent at once even to mature mind, and
the poor victim had remained confused
and silent. recalling his painful position
ever afterward at sight of his tormentor
until displeasure, thriving upon itself,
grew into resentment.
We may be so unfortunate as to en-
counter antipathetic creatures at all
seasons of our lives, but surely the antip-
athies most deeply rooted have their
seed sown early, as this one was. Be-
ware OF youth! 1t is to be dreaded, not
despised. The callow fledgling whom
we laugh at may burst into song
one day. Worse than that, he may
impale us for our shortcomings with a
shaft of satire, as the poet of the ages
did poor Justice Shallow. We, through
him, may live eternally inglorious, while
he reads his history in all nations eyes.

MARKED BY THE MALTA.
A Brace of Bostonians Likely to
Be AsSaSsinated.


BosToN, Aug. 1.-The Italian malta
have marked two of their countrymen
i'm Boston for assassination, and already
efforts have been made to carry out the
edicts of the order; but the victims
have thus far escaped. One is Police
man John Rosatti, of Station l. who has
been largely instrumental in bringing
several Italian criminals to justice. He
is an Italian himself and knows all the
secrets of his countrymen. The other
victims for whom the Stiletto is ready is
Goachini Cocchiara, one of two Italians
who was arreStedin connection with the
murder of Millionaire Edward Cunning
ham, of Milton, eight months ago.
Policeman Rosatti incurred the VEN
geance of the malta by tracking down
an Italian murderer named Donati a
year and half ago. Donati undertook
to rob house near Genoa, Italy, but
was discovered by a woman in the
house. She started after him, but was
stopped by several thrusts with a still
etto, which eventually caused her death.
Her husband came to the rescue, and he
was stabbed through the heart. Donati
fled to this country and was arrested by
Capt. Cain and Policeman Rosatti in
this city, and seIId back to Italy. Donati
was m,s1nber of the malta. His asso-
! Gates looked upon Rosatti in the light
of traitor. They held tnat no matter

man carrying huge bunch of lilacs

Mrs. Gladstone Dressed in a Hur

When Andrew Carnegie was in Lon
don nota great while ago he was invited
to dinner EN- famiIle by Mr.. Glad
stone. Of course, Mr.. Carnegie went.
He arrived at the Gladstone house at
the time set and was received by Mrs.
Gladstone in her wonted gracious man
ner. 1t was impossible for him to fail
to notice that there was something odd
in Mrs. Gladstone's attire. She had on
thick knit cape. and, as the day was a
warm one, Mr.. Carnegie offered to help
her remove it when she rose to go down
to dinner.
But Mrs. Gladstone, with laugh, de-
clined the offer, and explained: II was
afraid of keeping Mr.. Gladstone waiting,
which he does not like at all and as
couldn't find the waist of my dress
slipped on this cape to save time"
And when Mrs. Gladstone rose to
leave the table after dinner it was dis
covered that the missing waist was cling

BEHEADED HIS FIANCE.
Horrible Crime of a Connecticut
LOthariO.

LOtIldrIOs
NEW MILFORD, Aug. Andrew Ber-
gensen, Swede aged fifty years, en-
tered the room of his sweetheart, Emma
Anderson, early this morning and cut
her throat, nearly severing the head
from the body. The murdered girl was
engaged to be married to him, and she
came over from the old country this
spring for the purpose. Bergenson has
always borne good reputation until
this summer, when he went on several
sprees. tits now thought that the girl
had objected to the wedding on account
of his recently developed drinking hab-
its. Mr.. Buckingham, for whom Miss
Anderson worked, as soon as he
discovered the murdered had been
committed, sounded an alarm, and in
less than half an hour all the farmers in
the vicinity had turned out, armed with
shotguns and pitchforks, and set out in
pursuit of the murderer. At o'clock
this morning Policemen Adds, Pansee
and Bough. accompanied by vast
crowd, rode into town with the MUIR
derer. He was captured in a clump of
trees near the scene of the murder.
Bergensen attempted suicide, but was
prevented by the officers.

The Selby Bridge Protest Pro-
duces a Delay to Ascertain the
Bridge Bond Balance,

Bridge BOND Balance.
4. The committee on streets held long
and interesting session last night. The
principal matters under consideration
were the Selby avenue bridge and an
ordinance granting a right of way to
the Wisconsin Central company to
build system of switches Oh property
recently purchased in the Kilt
son addition. A full and free
discussion was participated in
with reference to the assessment
of property owners to build the Selby
avenue bridge over the tracks of the
Milwaukee railroad. The bridge is es
timated to cost $4,000. Of this sum
the railroad agrees to pay $4,000; the
council has appropriated $4,000 out OF
the bonds issued for bridges and sewers,
leaving $4,000 to be raised by assess
ment.
Mr.. Root, of Merriam Park. who was
given permission TO speak on behalf of
the citizens, stated that it was unprece-
denied to ask the people to pay such a
large sum of money for all improvement
that was benefit to the street car COM
pany, and was not thought by the peO-
pie to be benefit to them. He said
that the bridge is thirty-twO feet wide !;
of this the cable line takes eighteen feet
for it's two tracks, leaving but seven
feet Oh each side for wagon road.
With cars running at twelve miles an
hour it did not leave room enough on
the side for the safe driving of teams.
He thought, under the circumstances.
the bridge was benefit to the car line
and not to the people, and they should
not be assessed for building it. Besides,

the city was but sparsely settled in that
section. and they could use other cross
ingS. Other citizens spoke against the
assessment and urged that it would fall
heavily OH the property owners near the
bridge. 1t was claimed that with cars
running beneath and a cable car over
taking a team On the bridge, there
would he not sufficient room to man
age a team in case of fright while
on the bridge, the clear room between 6
wagon and passing car being but fiji
teen inches. 1t was also stated thai
there would not be room on the bridge
for load of hay or grain to pass a cal
going the same way.
