Tho Inshriate,s Oath.

Judge Corwin's famous temperance address
which was printed a few weeks ago. says the
Washington Post, recalls an incident which
occurred during one of Francis murpby's blue
ribbon addresses. A drunken man sat in the
audience and listened with owlish gravity 10
the remarks. Murphy was telling of fearful
occurrence alleged to have happened in dis
tant state, where such things always happen.
And, my friends,' said he, this poor
wretch was so filed and saturated with alcohol
that one night when he tried to blow out a
candle the flames set the alcohol fumes afire,
and the miserable so5 was burned alive"

demanded:

Gilbert's Aptness at Retort.

W. S. Gilberti remarkably quick at repartee,
says che Chicago Tribune. and numerous stories
are related illustrating his aptness at retort.
One evening as Gilbert was leaving party. and
was standing in the vestibule waiting for bis
carriage, snobbish young nobleman emerged
from the house, and, mistaking him for foot
man, said sharply:
Cali me four wheeler"
Gilbert calmly adjusted single eye-glass in
his eye, and surveying his lordship replied,
blandy:
You're a four-weeeler"
The young nobleman spluttered and wanted
10 know what he meant. Gilbert said:
You told me to call you four-wheeler. l
couldn't call you hanson, you know"
On another occasion when seated in club
dining-room Gilbert was approached by per.
son who said
Have you seen here this morning man with
one eye called Jones?"
Gilbert answered in his drawing way:
What was the name of his other eye?'
At Que time there were two American attrac-
tlous at the London theaters These were Nat
Goodwin and a play by the late Barley Camp
bell. The public ignored Goodwin but seemed
TO enjoy the play by Campbell. and this moved
Gilbert to remark that he thought it was
straining at Nat and swallowing q Camp

A Victim of overworlz.

There are more victims of overwork than
is generally supposed. Many of the diseases
with which physicians now have to deal
are the direct result of overwork
The farmer, blacksmith and mechanic are
apt to think that the lawyer, doctor, editor
and business man have an easy time of it,
They are greatly mistaken. The burdens
and worries of mental work are much more
exhausting than thoss of physical labor.
An instance of mental over work occurred
recently among the officers of the New
York Central railroad system. Mr.. Walter
Webb, vice president of the New Y ork Gen.
tral and Hudson River railroad, left for
Europe the other day on long vacation.
Although young man he is almost a
physical wreck.
Mr.. Webb is very ambitious man and a
hard worker He rose from subordinate
place in the Wagner Palace Car Company
to his present position. He has very infu-
ential friends, it is true, in the New York
Central system, but he has never depended
upon them. He has depended upon himself
wholly.
When he was promoted to his present office
his responsibilities at once became very
great, aud the strain upon HIM was i'm
mense. He realized that he was taxing his
power to the utmost, but, being young and
strong, he did not apprehend any danger to
his health. One day not long ago, while
sitting at his desk trying TO solve some
troublesome problems, he was suddenly
stricken with blindness. Without warning
and with the swiftness of lightning impene-
trable darkness separated him from the
world. His eyes were wide open but no
sight reached the brain through them.
Under careful treatment the sight of one
eye has been restored, but there is not much,
if any, hope that the sight of the other eye
will ever be regained. The doctors said that
he was the victim of overwork, and they Or
dered him to takea long rest. 1t may be
that he will be able to resume railroad work,
but he will never be a strong man again.
The burden which he undertook to carry
was too great for his strength. Mr.. Webb's
case is only one of many. The victims of
overwork are innumerable

you're Another

Twice recently the Atlanta Constitu ion
has charged that the MORNING News took
news items from its columns without giving
it credit for them. Theimpression it sought
to convey was that it never did anything of
that kind. We called its attention, the
other day. to dispatch of a sensational
character which was published in the
MORNING NEWS April 25, and which, in
almost the same words and without credit,
appeared in the Constitution April 2S We
asked the Constitution il it received that
dispatch from Fernandina. In reply it
charges the MORNING NEWS with "shuffiing
and evading," and asserts that the only
answer the MORNING NEWS can make is,
You're another"
We should like to know if the Constitu-
tion's answer to our question Is not clear
case of ''shufllng and evading." 1t virtu-
ally admits that it cribbed the Fernandina
dispatch, and dated it up to make it appear
as fresh news. 1t says it didn't see the dis
patch in the MORNING NEWS What differ
ence does it make. from moral standpoint,
whether it cribbed it from the MORNING
NEWS or a New York papers The corre-
opOhAChO WIN b1uO IL W Luo new OTK
paper clearly cribbed it from the MORNING
NEWS.
Yes, we virtually did say, "You're an
other" to the Constitutions charge that we
cribbed lis news items. That paper Is the
last one which should complain of anything
being taken from its columns without
credit, because we know of no paper that
does Of hat If will
take the trouble to look at its issue of April
2 it will find about half column cribbed
from the MORNING NEWS of March 81.
There is no pretense of giving credit. If it
will look at its issue of April Is it will find
more matter cribbed from tle MORNING
NEWS of April IL We might easily call
attention to other instances of thefts of
news matter from the MORNING NEWS by
the Constitution, but it is unnecessary to
do so. The foregoing are sufficient to show
that the phrase, you're another" fits the
Constitution exactly. 1t more than fits it.
Itshows that the Constitution tried to hide
its practice of pilfering news by making
charges against contemporary. 1t may
consider that smart trick, but it
won't find many people to agree
with it. We do not call that sort of busi-
ness contemplate because the Constitution
seems to have patent on that word, and
we don't want to infringe its patent, but
we think it exhibits degree Of moral rot
tenness that is deplorable in journal that
pretends to be respectable.
The Constitution now pretends that it
made its outrageous assault on the MORN
ING NEWS wholly on account of "Plun-
kett" letter. 1t knows better than that, or
else it has short memory If its memory
is faulty it would be we'll for it to referto
back numbers before rushing into print. AS
for the ''Plunkett" letter, our offense with
regard to it was just about on par with
that of the Constitution in purIoining the
interview it published April q
We have the satisfaction of know
ing that whatever other offense
may be alleged against us, it
cannot be said that we have ever tried to
hide our own olfenses by trying to blacken

Bank Wreckers.

Both New YORK and Philadelphia arr
having an interesting experience with bank
wreckers. In New York several rascals
are being tried Tor a conspiracy to wreck
three banks. The hist ory of the conspiracy
has been tcld in our dispatches. aud the
prospect is that the conspirators will all be
sent to the penitentiary.
In Philadelphia there is at present extra
ordirary excitement over the wrecking of
the Bank of America. Hundreds of depos-
itors have lost all their savings. and many
people who were in comfortable circum-
stances have been almost ruined The
means by which the bank was wrecked have
not been fully explained. 1t is known that
the sreckers got something over 81, ,0O0, 900.
When the bank directors turned the bank
over to an assignee there was just s cents in
cash on hand
As far as has been discovered the men
who got the funds of the ba TX were the
president of the American Life Insurance
Company. an employe of the American
Financial Association, and the president of
the wrecked bank The president of the
American Life Insurance Company ap-
pears to have got the most of it, ard he
cannot be found. 1t seems that the direc-
tors Of the bank were mere dummies. They
knew nothing of the condition of the bank
until it was too late to save the institution.
The American Life Insurance Company
and the American Financial Association
were mixed up with the wrecked bank in a
way that has not yet been made clear. That
the money was obtained from the bank by
improper means there is no doubt. The de-
positors have organized and will prosecute
the guilty parties just as soon as they can.
get sufficient evidence.
The holders Of policies in the life COM
pany and the stockholders in the financial
association are also sufferers. 1t has been a
long time since the staid and steady Quaker
City has had so much excitement as it is
now having. If there is anything that will
make the people there step around lively it
is the loss of money.

There are some things which college pro-
fessors do not know. There is a professor
named Carhart at DePauw university, which
institution is located somewhere in the
wilds of Indiana. There was an interstate
collegiate oratorical contest few days ago
at Lincoln, Neb. Ex-Gov Crittenden, of
Missouri, was invited to be one of the
judges. and he accepted the invitation.
When he arrived at Lincoln Prof Carhert
objected to him on the ground that, being a
southern brigadier, he couldn't decide fairly
relative to the speech of the DePauw con-
testant, the speech being northern view of
the southern question. Carhart is reported
to have wept bitter tears when he discov-
cred afterward that Gov. Crittenden was
northern brigadier. Thus are the narrow
minded punished for their rshort-sightedness.

Why This Discrimination,

Mr.. Blaine's letter to the President. rela--
tive to the construction of a railway from
this country to Patagonia, which the Presi-
dent sent to congress with his approval, is
the subject of considerable comment. 1t
will be remembered that the pan-American
congress recommended the building of the
road, and Mr.. Blaine, in his letter asking
for an appropriation of S65, 900 to make the
preliminary survey in this country. says:
"a very important feature. to which l
especially direct your attention, will be
found in the International declaration that
the line of the proposed railway shall be
forever neutral territory; that the material
necessary for the construction of the pro-
posed railway shall be admitted free of
customs dues, and that its property and
revenues shall be always exempt from all
forms of taxation"
Is not this strange sort of talk from the
chief of the protectionistss Heactuaily ad-
vises that materials for the construction of
this railway be admitted free of duty. If
protection is such good thing, and if, as
the protectionists assert, the railroads in
this country are the result of the protective
system, why should the proposed interna-
tional railway be built under free trade
condItionss
MIR. Blaine has always prided himself
upon being consistent, but he is not so in this
instance. Perhaps he is beginning to ses
that there is little hope of gaining the South
American trade as long as the country is
cut off from the rest of the world by a
Chinese wall of protection.

New York Tr56une's Washington correspondent
recalled TO the memory of one of the Indiana
delegation story about the colonel which was
at one time quite popular In the rural districts
of the Hoosier state. Col Holloway was a
devotee of the circus, and Buck" Terrell, at
onn time pension agent, now dead, was his con-

Quickstep for the grand entree, " and the audi
ence craned its necks for better view of the
dressing-room exit. When the excitement was
at its highest point the canvas flaps of the
doorway flew apart and the clown in all his
gorgeous array of yellow and red ran into the
ring. Throwing his arms wildly into the air he
stopped the music. There was silence through
out the audience so dense that you could have
heard a peanut drop. Looking around the
great assembage the clown cried out:
'Is Bill Holloway here?"
He arose with a white face and answered
quickly:
"Yes; here am" For a moment he thought
some great misfortune must have befaifen

voice.

to his sides, let the performance proceed.
And, as roar of laughter went up from the
great assemblage and Col. Holloway dropped
bushing into his seat, the band resumed its
lively quickstep and the gayly caparisoned
cavalcade came into the ring
