STRUCK BY 4 TORPEDO.

Chicago Police Inspector.
CHICAGO, May S.-As Police Inspector
Ebersold was standing near the Rock Island
Railroad track last night, someone ran past
him and placed a torpedo on the track in
front of him. A passing train exploded it
and several of the fragments struck the In
spector, stunning him.
1t is an open question whether it was the
work of an enemy who wished to inlure, or
murder the Inspector, or whether it was
bit of "skvlarking." The Inspector is of
the latter opinion, but other police officials
think otherwise, and point to the fact that
heavy torpedo was exploded by street car
on which he was riding a short time ago.

Mysterious Assault Upon n Helpless Victim
of the Grip.
BLOOMINGTON, ILL, May Sat day
light yesterday morning Superintendent 7.
N. Bates, of the Chicago and Alton Rail-
road, found his son Frank, aged %, lying
unconscious, bound and gagged with towels
in his bedroom. He is still unconscious,
and will probably die from the abuse he
received. He continually raves about a
struggle with two men. The furniture was
ransacked but nothing yet missed.
Frank had been a sufferer from ia
grippe" for four months, and had just re-
turned from Hot Springs and was very
weak and helpless.

face peeping slyly out of the storeroom
window. was going to give the alarm,
but the agent made me sign to keep quiet
and subsidized and watched. BY wriggling
along the ground like a snake an Indian
had passed 10 front of US, concealed by the
the veranda platform, and had gained the
side OF the house, got in a window and was
now engaged in stalking demijohu OF fine
old whisky which stood in plain sight oniy
q few feet away from US. He proposed to
get that demiiohn and gulp down quart Of
the fire water the moment our heads were
turned.
Meanwhile he was lying low, with his eye
on us. The agent called my attention to the
boat on the river. I looked at il. AS did
there rose from the storeroom volley OF
sharp yells. Turning my head once more.I
saw the noble savage dancing lrantically
about with the demijohn in his hands. His
contortions were q caution to CarmencIta
and the Nautch girls, and his voci eratIons
would have thrilled an Italian prima donna
with envy. Looking at the agent Isaw bin
engaged in turning the crank of an electrical
machine.
When the entertainment had LASTED long
enough he desisted, and the Indian shot out
OF the storeroom window and fed across the
prairie. Just puff OF brown dust passing
out OF sight like shooting star. That was
all we saw of him. Evidently he had re-
ceiyed a surprise for once in his life, and
was not so reserved as usual in letting the
TACT appear.

membranes than perfumes. A doctor cites
the following striking example: A rich
man, rather nervous and delicate, had been
married for about asyear and loved his wife
most devotedly, when she, by chance, took
to using ylang-ylang. This perfume hap
pened to be the one which former lady
love had constantly used, and the com.
parison of the two women provoked by the
similarity OF scent caused the man to re-
member the virtues OF the absent one and
the de ects of the present one SO vividly that
an arrangement ensued, which terminated
in divorce.
The poar man who is the hero of it was
affected with too much wealth, and, there
fore, had too much leisure to think. He
was also victim to the nineteenth century
disease, having too highly strung nerves,
and, besides, had the great misfortune to
lose wife whom he loved most ondly. His
anxious friends were somewhat treasured
when his grief seemed somewhat abated
after the first six months of weeping and
mourning. But one fine morning they
learned he had committed suicide, after
leaving the following lines on his desk:
II hoped tn be able to survive my sorrow,
but in looking over some of her laces I
found a fisk of her favorite perfume.
When tried to open it it fell, broke, and
the perfume spilled over the carpet, soon so
filled the house with the odor that grew
crazy with the idea that she was near me
and calling me to her. and 1 must, must an

school system: 'sIt is the best I have ever
seen, and it is abominable." The same, In
some respects, might be said as to the Ameri-
can system, in which the object seems not
so much to educate children as to get them
crammed for examinations and percentages
THE SCHOOL DIRECTORS.
But perhaps the wosst evil about the
American system cf public schools is
placing the election Of teachers in the hands
OF ignorant men who have no idea o. the
proper qualifications for so responsible a
position. An unskilled teacher is calam-
ity. With plenty Of normal schools and
training schools for teachers, there is no ex.
cuse for the election oflncom petent teachers.
There is no defense either for making q
school reward for political service.
Although the school system is the most
boasted institution in the country, nobody
VIII pretend that very much might not be
done to make them better. There should be
more attention given to arranging buildings
Tor health and convenience. Mothers should
De upon school boards. Evening study
should be determinedly frowned down.
Ieachers should not be required to take
work home. Moreover, they should not be
giddy girls, who hate everything about
school except the pay. Instead of being
sort OF asylum for lmpecunious and incom-
petent girls-as SO many are until some.
ool" man comes along to install them as
equally incompetent housekeepers-the
schools should be in the hands of sensible,
large-hearted teachers, who have a talent
and love for the business and can raise it
to the elevation its Importance really de-
serves.
However, the responsibility comes back
to the people themselves-no, not tine people
but the voters, many of whom can them
selves neither read nor write.

The sharp denunciation which is directed
at Senator Plumb and Mr.. Ralstead, and
other Republican dissenters from the strict
letter the tariff and election bills reminds
the Herald and other observers OF the iact
which Colonel HIgginson used tn remark in
in 1884, that bolters, if they repent, are
readily forgiven. In this State Mr.. His
cock, Mr.. Depew and Mr.. Reid are among
the most eminent and honored Republicans.
They are also among the most severely
orthodox. But they all resoluteIy opposed

lican leaders of to-day who have bolted the
party candidates, and have even voted for
Mr.. Tilden and other Democrats. Their par
ty detection for the time was absolute. Is
was very much more definite and complete
than Mr.. Plumb's. Mr.. Plumb has voted
for smaller duties on crockery, and he has
expressed the hope that the people Of the
United States may have chance. But he
has not voted against the tariff bill, and
even if he should vote against it his Ofense
