Men and Their Ties.

It is tolerably safe, in these days of
variety in dress, to judge a man by the
necktie he wears. 1t gives a glimpse of
character to the observant student Of
human nature. Look around in a Full
ton street car and notice the different
styles of men and the different styles Of
ties. Without looking above the chin
of any of the men you can size him up
correctly nine times out of ten. If no
wears very large and very red scarf
over a very loud checked shirt, with a
fourteen carat chandelier diamond put
ting the sunbeams to sleep all about it,
you don't hesitate in pronouncing him
young man that would sooner fight than
eat. See?
And if he wears little bit of a black
ribbon, tied in a very tight and slender
sailors knot that hangs straight down
over soiled shirt bosom, from the meet
ing place of the two ends of turn down
collar-why, you know without looking
further that there's a thin, weakened
face above it, with bright, beady eyes,
whose glances glide stealthily and quick
AAOAA CAIO EgOlI16 w elllObuCA J CO w AAACAI
are restless, hard, greedy. You know
that man is as stingy and ugly as the
tie he wears. In contrast with this is
the big, loose, white puff, with a small
gold pin showed carlessly through it from
the side. There it lies on an immaculate
linen front, as handsome and careless
and captivating as the hearty, generous,
whole souled fellow whom it adOrns.
Then there's the man who. wears the
white bowknot in the daytime; look out
for him. He's a hypocrite or worse.
And the man with the same four in
hand that he's worn for a week, soiled
and crumpled-hes either very rich or
very poor, head over heels in business or
slovenly and mean, one or the other.
The pale tinted tie is sign of conceit.
The polka dot is worn by the young
man who don't care much for girls, but
who takes to boating and swimming.
Solid black signifies docile disposition,
satin finish means vanity of the worst
type, and checked tie-wel, the man
who wears a black and white check will
steal Enthusiastically Eagle.

NOT RELIGIOUS BUT sBCTAR1AN.

The dean of Davenport, Iowa, is re-
ported as participating in the diocesan
conference now in session at Canterbury,
England, and as having made a report
on education in America at the request
of the archbishop. In this report he is
said to have asserted that there is re-
ligious objection to the American free
schools and that an attempt is being
made to establish church schools every
where, but that as yet no great progress
is being made. Commenting upon the
incident mentioned and the actual condi-
ton referred to in this country, the Chi
cago News says:
1t is now about time to remind clergy
men everywhere that they are making
altogether too free use of the word ire
ligious" If there were a "religious" OBJ
lection to the free schools in America it
would be raised by all religious people,
independent of sect or creed. But the
deep interest in the free school mani
tested by the overwhelming majority of
Protestant Christian denominations and
the earnest support they receive from
Jewish religionists proves that it is not a
religious but a sectarian objection to the
free school which the reverend gentle
man had in mind when speaking on
American education before his fellow
clergymen in Canterbury.
If the establishment of church schools
does not progress rapidly in the United
States it only furnishes further proof
that the objection to the free school
which prompts the attempt to establish
church schools is not religious, but sect
arian
The American people is recognizing
more and more that its free schools, and
not the church schools, are its strongest
bulwark against the enemies of religious
liberty and will come to regard all diver
sion Of American educational energies
from free schools to church schools as
one of the greatest mistakes of which
sectarian zeal has ever been guilty.

the senate at all. The Republican lead
in that body will be smaller next winter
than it was last winter, and some of the
northwestern Republican members are
as favorable to legislation Of that sort as
ever, but partisan exigencies
will probably constrain them
to keep in line with the rest
of the party on this as on other questions
until after the presidential election IS
over. The eastern Democratic senators
may be relied on to work and vote
against all further favors to silver.
If the Democratic leaders think that
an attempt to pass free silver bill next
winter, even though unsuccessful, will
keep that question out of the canvass
next year they are in error. So far as
regards the present feeling in their
party, this question will not be settled
until measure Of this sort is enacted.
Its defeat now would arouse such feel
ing in its favor that no western or south
ern man would dare raise his voice
against it in the national convention. In
any exent, that is to say, there will be a
free-coinage plank in the Democratic
platform of next year. This question
the Democratic leaders will not be able
to dodge. At least two out of three of
the voters of their party imagine that
silver somehow has been Disseminated
against by the government, and they
will demand the removal of its disabili-
ties. 1t will be vain for the ClevelandS,
the Germans and the Brices to tell their
followers that the tariff is the real sub
ject of immediate concern to the coun-
try, and that silver legislation can wait.
The Democratic voter will repudiate and
condemn all such reasoning and will
choose delegates to the convention who
will see to it that the silver issue be
placed in the foreground. This question
threatens the Generalization and defeat
of the Democracy, but the magnates Of
the party who foresee this result can
neither obscure nor evade the the issue.

An AdmiraI's Dilemma.

An old admiral, whose long sea service
had given his legs decided outward
curvature, once had a singular adventure
on this account with a ships pet. The
crew of the ship owned large black
spaniel, and took great pains in teaching
him TO jump. a man, standing up,
would put one foot against his other
knee, thus making hole for Nep, the
dog, to make his leap through. The dog
always jumped through the aperture
readily, though if his trainers legs hap
pened to be short, it was sometimes a
rather tight squeeze.
One day the admiral came aboard
from the flagship on visit Of inspec-
ton. Happening TO walk to the forward
part of the ship he stood there for few
minutes conversing with the officer who
had attended him. Here he was spied
by the dog. Nep stood a moment sur
yeying the admiral's bowlegs. Suddenly
the dog made rush at the legs and a
mad leap through the tempting gap. In
establishment at the black tornado that
had passed beneath him the admiral
whirled quickly about to see what was
the cause. The dog took this action as
a signal for an "encore," and jumped
again. Once more the admiral turned.
and again the dog jumped. The Devil
dered face Of the admiral and the seri-
Gus attention of Nep to what h. imag-
ined was his business were too much for
the gravity Of the bystanders, and, for
getting the respect due TO rank, they all
roared with laughter.
4 sailor, however, had enough pres
ence Of mind to break from the crowd
and catch the dog by the collar. He led
MIN Of, and as he did SO Nep seemed 70
wonder why he did not receive the praise
due 70 such spirited efforts. The e1-
cited admiral got bat al imperfect ex-
PLANTATION Of the affair from the s2acta-
tors, for they could hardly tel him that
his legs had been used as kind Of circus
hoop BY a forecasts dog. Perhaps %
his dying day the occurrence was a Elys-
terry 10 him. Francisco AE<o14ut-

MURDER BY ELECTRICITY.

To the Editor of the EAGLE
DEAR SIR-As a medical man some
what conversant with the use of cleo
tricity it occurs to me that in the recent
electrocutions at Sing Sing the NJ. Ds
overlooked point that should have been
obvious from the Kemmler experience,
viz, that a continuously applied cur
rent, no matter what the duration, if it
lasts for hours, cannot, if the burning
process be absent, produce death and at
the same time prevent the muscular re-
taxation which ends in that peculiar
whish-sh-sh, whir-re, 0 my. o me, es-
capement from between the clinched
teeth of the victim. 1t is equally clear
that the second contact ends all. Conse-
quently combination of the two meth
DDS by introducing a rapidly alternating
cutoff attachment in the switch board
would accomplish the end desired by
producing twenty or more distinct shocks
in less than a second.
The switch could be operated with a
wheel something on the order of milk
shake, as it We're, and the subject would
go hence with a lolling sensation in his
ears of tap, tap, tapping at the pearly
gates.
If the present barbarous method is
persisted in, the doctor should at least
gag the prisoners with potatoes or
turnips, and as it is well known fact
that when in a sudden paroxysm of
metal agony will bite nails with evident
relief-the substitution prayed for viii
be another step toward dehorning the
vulgar features of judicial killing.
| have a keen appreciation of the fine
feelings of my medical friends and |
have no doubt that a scientific electrouc-
ton can be made most agreeable duty
if that last involuntary and totally mean
ingleSs remark from the corpse can be
carefully corked.
And at the post-mortem dinner
would not the potatoes and turnips which
had been used furnish the piece de
resistance, in a nice potato said a la
Jugiro, or boiled turnip de ta-ta-Slocum:
There is no instance in my mind where
the humanizing effect Of our christianity
is so admirably set forth as in the New
York electrocutions. and l look forward
to the day when by the aid of advanced
thought and scientific methods we shall
be able to gather around the death chair
with our families to witness the majestic
machinery of the law set in molten by
the gentle pressure of 4 little child's
hand upon a velvet button-even as
He'll Gate was blown up some time ago
Could even the Chinaman fail to he
impressed by our advancement: BE
who chops heads off. as if man were a
spring chicken. Or the Frenchman,
would he not blush at the ridiculous
haste with which ne ends a proceeding
that should be filled with interesting
features. Yours truly. q. l. LEWISTON

/ To those interested in tapestry 1t would
be well worth a visit To Sloane'S store TO
view the greatest piece of Gobelin
tapestry ever presented-as far as known
to any one excepting royalty itself, for
it is princely gift that the French gov
eminent has recently presented to tbs
New York hospital. The cost was $780,
coo, and it is fifteen feet high and twenty
feet long, and describes with cruel real
ism the ''Pestiferes de Jatfa, and Is a
slightly diminished fac-simile of the cele-
brated painting of that name, done in
1904 by the famous artist GrOs. Napo-
leon has entered the plague stricken hos
pital at Jaffa, followed by several of his
brilliant sAite of characterization, Bes-
sieres and Davoust-and one of his sur
geons. They press closely after their
chief, with handkerchiefs held TO their
faces, gazing with wonder at the daunt-
less courage displayed by their bravo
commander.
Napoleon, still believing in his star OK
destiny, stands fearlessly amid his plague
stricken soldiers, daring even to touch
one OF them, who upon hearing his be-
loved generals voice has dragged his
poor, diseased, worn body before him,
and with true soldierly instinct raises
his hand to his head with military pre-
cision. One of the native surgeons in
Turkish costume endeavors 10 keep the
emperor from too close contact with the
plague stricken man by gently pushing
him away, but it is of no avail. The
brilliant trappings and rich cOlors OF the
