A Boston biography, says the Budget of

suggest the salient points of the typical life
of culture. For instance: He was born in
Boston: he graduated successfully at the
Boston Latin school and at Harvard Uni

head Neck; ne had a poem in the Atlantic
Monthly; he was president of the st. B0
tolph; he had pew at Trinity church, and
was buried at Mount Auburn.
A fire In the dwelling of I. S. Phillips of
Brewster's Neck, Conn.,, originated In a pc
culiar manner. Several milk pans were
standing upon barrel back of his house in
a circle, and right above them a couple of
towels were swinging to and fro on line.
1t Is thought that the sun, striking the pans.
focused all the heat on the towels and set
them on fire. They dropped from the line
into pail near by and set that on fire, The
pail In turn set the barrel on fire, and from
these the flame was carried to the house

points out that in 1888 Spain was willing to
grant us liberal concessions for the free i'm

great difficulty in arranging a reciprocal

The cyclone seems to be coming east this
year. Maine had taste Of its quality few
weeks ago, and on Saturday South Lawrence
received terrible visitation. New England
people have been accustomed to fatter them
selves that the blizzard and the cyclone were
peculiar to the prairies of the west, but the
gale which swept over Lawrence on Satur-
day wrought quite as much ruin in its track
as the average western cyclone.

Guatemala and San salvador are evidently
at war, though which is winning and which
is losing 1t is impossible to tell from present
advices. The Guatemalans claim to have
worsted the Salvadorians and driven them
out of their territory with great slaughter,
while the Salyadorians assert exactly the
opposite, pameiy, that they were victorious
and the Guatemalans driven back. Both ma
tions are employing press censors just now,
whose duties are to report victories whether
the troops win them or not. They are per-
forming their duties admirably.

The Pappenheim-Whee marriage which
1t was thought would be the one interna-
tional alliance that would have no dark side
seems to have conjured one up after all.
1t appears that there is law in Bavaria
which Count Pappenheim forgot or ignored
to the effect that nobleman cannot contract
lawful marriage with an untitled lady. In
consequence of the law the prince regent Of
Bavaria has refused to regard the marriage
as legal, which will effectually close the
doors of polite society upon the count and
his wife. Count Pappenheim has accepted
the situation philosophically, resigned his
rights of nobility and ceded his possessions
to his younger brother. This shows COM
mendable spirit on the part of the count in
dicating that it was not the Wheeler fortune
that attracted him; but it is very hard on
the countess, who cherished, 1t is said, fond
hopes Of rising to social eminence In the
Bavarian capital As it is she will be more
than likely to come back to this country with
her husband in exile. Perhaps the safest
way after ell is to let international matches
alone. American men should be good
enough for American women; then no petty
punctilios would make trouble after mar
rage.

The municipal authorities of the CITY of
Hartford, Connecticut, are at present strug.
Cling with that vexed and vexing question,
how far police officer can go legally In u.s.
ing force upon prisoners. The particular
case that has started the question up this
time is recent occurrence In Hartford
when policeman saw two suspicious char
acters lettering around house that was
closed for the summer. He called to them
and they started to run. He called to them
to halt, which they did not, but ran faster.
He then pulled out his revolver and fred af-
ter them, but they kept on running and dis
appeared in the darkness of the night. Up
on this several eminent citizens went to the
mayor and sought to have some steps taken
that would prevent a repetition of such
events. The mayor was in doubt as to the
proper course and laid the case before the
newspapers, which are now discussing IL
and arriving at widely variant conclusions
AS general rule it seems that an oficer,s
duty in such case is plain. II he sees
man in the act of committing a crime it is
his duty to arrest the man. II the man
starts up to run just as the officer is about to
seize him the officer should challenge him,
warn him that he is, to use nautical phrase,
standing into danger" and If sufficient
warnings fail to stop the fleeing man the Of
ficer is authorized to fire in the air. III that
fails to stop him he is authorized to fire at
the mans legs and to bring him down If he
can. OF course opinions will differ as to
what constitutes reasonable warning, but
the military rule, challenge three times and
fire, is a safe one to go by. Opinions will
differ, too, in regard to the wisdom OF the
Hartford officers course in firing at persons
oil whom he knew nothing wrong save that
they were behaving in what he called sus-
plcious manner 1t is impossible to say def
niteiy whether he did right or not without
more SPECIFIC knowledge of what the suspic-
ious actions consisted. AS a general rule,
however, the maxim Of the law that a mar
is presumed to be innocent until he is proven
guilty should govern the officers action. A
criminal caught in the act has no paeticular
rights that anybody is bound to respect nm
til he is taken into custody. A mere sus-
pect has great many rights which it is ex-
tremely unwise, as well as unsafe, for an of-
hcer to infringe upon.

The House of Representatives has recently
passed bill, the history of which illustrates
the extreme difficulty of collecting from the

no one than by those who have claims

starting out in life with good health and
good habits and Just claim of fifty or one

The many friends of Judge W. H.
Pratt, formerly of this place, will
learn with pleasure that he is winning
his way to a good practice in his new
home in Salem, Oregon. A late copy
of the Salem Daily Journal says of
a noted case on trial there:
The trial of Margaret Bauer on
Indictment for polygamy took all the
afternoon. The line of defense was
that her former husband, Frank
Bauer, the prosecuting witness, had
wife or wives in Germany when she
married him was null and void and
that she had a perfect right to marry
again. (Her present husbands name
is Diekman.) Judge Pratt and Capt
Hunt, her attorneys, made an able eff
fort in her behalf, the former making
an eloquent and powerful address to
the jury. Dist. Atty. Bingham and
Deputy Darcy prosecuted the case
in an earnest and gentlemently man
ner.
