CONIMUNICATIONS.
The Old anitarian Rebuked

The Old Santtarlun HeDuked.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
The Old Sanitarian in Sundays Register
and in Tuesdays JOURNAL AND COURIER
seems to be planting the banner of sani-
tary science on the most advanced ground.
A few days ago he was satisfied with
an appropriation of S50, 900 for the board
of health; he now wants one of S75, 900.
He demands that the board of health shall
be endowed with judicial as well as execu-
tive functions.
To reduce the infant mortality he de-
sires reconstruction of the board; that it
be composed of doctors, clergymen and
lawyers who shall determine what persons
shall be allowed to become parents; as if
this triple alliance could be more effective
to reduce the death rate than the proposed
dual confederation of the present board
with the plumbers. The Old SanitariaI
cannot have lived as he says he has for
seventy years without having observed
that a good many intelligent and moral
parents have produced children that have
turned out irst-class scalawags, and that,
on the other hand there have been some
low down progenitors, who through celes-
tial, planetary, human or some other
benign influence impaired ut the critical
moment, have begotten a highly moral
and intellectual child.
While the philosophy of the Old Sanitar-
ian is, in the main, sound, and Is in the
direct trend of modern thought, which
would have each and every individual
cared for by some Board" still it would
seemIthat the people are hardly yet educated
up to his standard, and it may be fairly
questioned if he is not doing the cause OF
sanitary science more harm than good by
his Incorporate advocacy of measures that
the public is unprepared for and that are
| calculated to astonish the most anticipatlvs
sanitarian In his zeal to establish the
bad effects of sewer gas he ascribes his re
| cent illness to defective plumbing, when il
| may have been only the result of the lat'
"cold snap"
That he was rescued from premature
grave by one dose of the microbe killer ii
an important circumstance, and while all o.
us would deplore a renewed attack o
cholera infantum in his own person, W,
hope that as opportunities are presented h
| will continue his investigations. 1t il
earlY to cast any aspersions on his SINGER
| ity, but there have been SO many indica
tions of self-interest in the various phase
of this sanitary business that people an
becoming suspicious when any man thrust
himself forward as champion of tn
public health. 1t is to be hoped that a
| events are unfolded it will not be disclose,
that, after all, the Old Sanitarian is onl,
using sanitary science as a cloak to boon
the sale OF microbe killer, or is in train
ing for the witness stand to procure em
ployment as sanitary expert.

In the eyes of his admirers vidocq was a
penitent, who, turning resolutely from the
paths of crime, gave up his varied talents
to the service of the state In the eyes of
his detractors he was miscreant who
turned sneak to save his skin. The
truth lies between the two extremes.
Vidocq was not a beau ideal of virtue; but,
wild and graceless as his youth had been,
he was bird of different feather from the
rabble of the hulks. His only proper
cause of quarrel with the law had been the
purchase of rivals head. His prison
glory was not of his own seeking. With
the Yahoos of the galleys, among whom
he had been forced to live, he considered
that he broke no faith because he owed
none. Moreover; the word spy is apt to
be misleading; for at least to the English
ears, spy, sneak and coward are all taered
with the same brush. But vidocq's un
dertaking was not merely that of an an

WHICH Is WHICHs

Law and justice sometimes get mixed up
in very curious way. For instance, in
the case of Mr.. and Mrs. Silber, who went
to London hotel, ran up big bill and
didn't pay it. The proprietors went
through the form of suing the impecuni-
GUS husband, but joined the titled and
wealthy wife, and they got nothing but
their labor for their pains. The debt was
the husbands, the court held. 1t made no
difference that it was not his custom to
pay. That was no reason for charging the
bill to his wife, unless she made separate
contract to that effect, pledging her sepa-
rate estate and credit. But this was not
the end. When the proprietors sued Lady
Silber she counter-claimed that they should
return her goods. The debt, she argued, be-
ing her husband s, and the goods being hers,
there really was no excuse for mixing
things, and she wanted her gowns. But
the hotel keepers had the trunks, and the
court said they might keep them. The
hotel keepers lien, it seems, applies to
everything which comes to a hotel with n
guest. ''If guest brought to an inn
goods to which he had no title, that would
not deprive the inn keeper of his lien upon
them" Lady Silber and her husband
were trusted upon the faith of their impos-
ing baggage, and the hotel keeper could
not and need not inquire which We're the
lady's and which the husbands. 1t was
one transaction, and if Lady Silber want
ed her boxes she could get them by paying
her husbands bill.
Thus is the law upheld and the hotel
keepers, and Mr.. and Mrs. Silber left un-
satisfied

CHRISTIAN REPREsENTATIvEs.

CHRISTIAN REPRESENTATIv
Several incidents of the recent election
in Japan are very interesting to the people
of Christian countries. Mr.. Otis Cary
writes from Osaka that of three hundred
members elected to the house of represen-
tatives of the first Japanese parliament, at
least ten are members of Christian
churches. Mr.. Cary well says, if after
Buddhist missions had been established in
the United States for twenty years, we
should find that ten members of the house
of representatives were Buddhists, we
should be compelled to admit that some
trace of missionary influence was visible.
Mr.. Cary says that the Christians who
were elected, as well rs others who were
defeated candidates, found that their re-
ligion was made ground of objection by
their opponents. One Presbyterian elder
was advised by his political friends that
his prospect of election would be better il
he would stay away from church until
after election His answer was that he
cared more to go to church than to go te

| In Kioto, the ancient capital, and tht
| center of Buddhist influence, the Buddhist,
made bitter opposition to Christian can
didate. "They sent to his friends" Mr.
Cary says, ''as warning, piece of boart
such as is placed over grave, adding t.
it another piece of wood, so as to form ,
cross. So confident were they of defeating
the Christian that they made all the ar
rangements for mock funeral, which wa
to be held after the result of the election
was declared" But to their intense dis

The Court Did NOT Insist.

A capital story is told of one of the old
est practitioners at the Erie county bar.
He was arguing a motion at a neighbOring
county seat, and, as it sometimes happens,
was depending more ON his own sound
logic then upon authorities for success.
AT critical junction the judge interrupted
the speaker with this inquiry: 'sYes,
understand, but where are your suthor-
tiles upon the subject.
If your honor please, 'retOrted our friend

thOrities, with your permission, by telling

read page upon page of dry discisions, the

but you must always trust somewhat to the

His first achievement was the capture of
a coiner by the name of Watrin-a fierce
and cunning desperate, who had com

him to his lair above q certain cobbler's

at the doorway and rushed instantly upon
him. Watrin dealt him a tremendous
blow, and, dArting back into the building
