EDITORIAL NOTES.

Money is evidently getting to be very easy
again. A fish that was taken out Of the Iowa
river the other day on being cut open was
found to contain $85 in gold. $15 in silver,
SIS lin bank notes and $40, 900 in bonds.
Mr.. Bernard osterby, Of Northport, New
York, has caused the following unique offer
to be advertised by insertion in the local
paper: II will give 800 to every man who
minds his own business" Mr.. Osterby won't
have to pay out much.
The public can breathe freer now that two
important questions have received judicial
settlement. A Pennsylvania court has de-
cided that pigeons are animals under the
law, and the Supreme court of the United
States has decreed that beans are vegetables.
The Circuit court had decided that beans
were field seeds and not liable to duty.
The board of health Of Philadelphia is the
6rst municipal health organization In the
country that has undertaken to grapple with
consumption in the same manner that other
contagious or infectious diseases are grappled
with. II proceeds on the assumption, which
is now coming to be generally adopted, that
the disease Is to certain extent, preventable,
and that It may be propagated from person
to person through other media than the
blood.
They may not be making eggs, but they
are making coffee berries. They have suc-
ceeded, II is said, in selling small quantities
in Philadelphia and towns outside of New
York, but as soon as II reached New York
the experts discovered the fraud. The new
bean SO closely resembles the genuine In
color, shane and aize that IL is liable to de-

don't believe that the new bean contains
anything more injurious that -four and water

Philadelphia are the places named where the
bogus coffee bean is being manufactured.

HOW TO FAIL IN LITERATURR.
By One who Has Succeeded.
IFrom the st. James's Gazette


[From the st. Jamess Gazette.l
Mr.. Andrew Lang, who is pretty nearly
the most successful call llround" man of let
ters of the day, gave lecture at South Ken
sington on ''How to Fail in Literature" He
who would fail could not begin too early to
neglect his education, and must take good
care not to observe life and literature. To
cultivate bad handwriting was precau.
ticn overlooked. Those who would court
disaster should be as ignorant and as reck-
less rs possible. As matter of style, they
should always place adverbs after the word
ssto," as 'Hubsrt was determined to ener-
gstically refuse to entangle himself with
SUCH" and should use more adjsctives than
words Of all other denominations put to-
gether. They should alao hunt for odd
terms, as "a beetling nose" and should have
startling descriptions, as ssthe sun sank in
oanldron of deathly chaos" Unusual
terms sheuld be put where they would cause
the reader the most surprise-as, for in
called his domestic boseage." "Fictional,"
for Fictitious" }" was to be distinctly recon-
mended: "all the time" might be employed
for Railways, !" "back of" for "behind," and
s'do like he did" for edo as he did" Re-
versing the advice of Caesar: it might be said
that he who would fail must avoid sim
plicity like a sunken reef. He who would
fail could not begin better than by having
nothing to say. It was an excellent plan to
notice nothing, to take everything in the
lump; to 90 through the world with eyes
and ears shut, and then to embody the re-
suits in novel or poem. A young writer
turned eagerly to verse, and his favorite
authors sang of disappointment and gloom.
Mr.. Lang here said that not liking to quote
verses of other peoples he had written
few poems himself to show distinctly how
not to do 1t. A good way to disgust an
editor or publisher was to begin with the
word "only," which might also serve for q
heading, as:
Only spark of an amber,
Only q leaf on q tree,
Only the days we remember,
Only the days without Thee,
Only the flow'r that thou worest,
-.t Only the books that we read,
Only that night in the forest,
Only q dream of the dead.
Only the troth that was broken,
Only the heart that was lonely,
Only the sign and the token
That sigh in the saying of "onlym
Another of Mr.. Lang's specimen poems
began:
When the sombre night is dumb,
Sister, seepi
''Sleepl'' the lissome lily saith.
This sort of thing was certain way of
coming to grief in literature; but he added
maliciously, man might perhaps do very
we'll in an undistinguished way by writing
such lines for the sister art of music. Alli~
teration was splendid means Of failure, and
imitation was to be urged on Young authors
as leading to the greatest possible maximum
of failure all round

THE oARRINaToN PUBLISHING 90.

THE NEW ORLEANS MURDER.

The murder OF the chief of police
Hennessy, of New Orleans is almost
parallel case of the Cronin murder
of Chicago, both having been order
ed by secret societies. This latter
murder which was the work of the
Malta. an Italian organization which
hired house next door TO the victim
where they could watch his move,
ments was deyilish piece of villainy
for which the murders ought to
swing. but we doubt if it is right to
hold all the Italians there respon-
sible for the deed, and a number of
them have complained to the auth
critics of the public feeling against
them. and say that all of their race
should not be held responsible for
the crime of few.
Commenting on these complaints
the Times Democrat says:
The public feeling on this subject
Just now is due to the fact that most
of the Italian residents of New Or
leans have shown no disposition to
assist the authorities in breaking up
the secret Sicilian murder societies
which have existed here for years,
and have, by their failure to act,
more or less, aided and encouraged
the law breakers.
Had the Italians co-operated with
the authorities, these societies would
long ago have been annihilated, but
they have either been afraid of the
bandits OF they have been unwilling
to have the epithet Infants" hurled
at them. They did not see the diff
ference between an informer and
one who assists the authorities to
break up crime and punish the Grim
inals.
They themselves have been the
worst victims of this condition of af-
fairs. As a general thing, the Malta
has confined its operations to the
Italians. The better class of Italian
citizens have been threatened, per-
secuted, blackmailed and murdered
by these bandits; but instead of |
their friends calling the attention of
the authorities to these crimes and
giving whatever information they
possessed, they have suffered in
secret.
Now, however, that the Malta has
gone a step further and attacked an
official, and the head of our police
power. it has aroused the public and
t must be crushed. The Italians
will do well to recognize this. If
hey fully aid the authorities-and
hey can give most important aid
lot only viii Hennessy's murderers
,e brought to justice, but the entire
ystem of murder on which the Malta
3 founded win be broken up.
