regard to this matter the Postmaster. General

Mrs. WANAMAKER for whose checks on the
Keystone Bank the JOHN WANAMAKER ac-
count with the big H was made by arrange
ment jointly responsible with her own
private account, and whose private account
was substantially one account with the JOHN
WANAMAKER account, is the wife OF the
trade mark and not Of the Postmaster
General. It appears to us that Mr.. WANA-
MAKERS testimony as to the manner In which
the banking OF his domestic establishment
was conducted disposes Of the subtle and
mystic distinction between the two JOHNS. 1t
was merely q metaphysical distinction. For
tho purposes Of ordinary common sense. the
trademark JOHN WANAMAKER Is an indi-
vldual, and the sarhe Individual as the JOHN
WANAMAKER who sits in President HARR1-
SONS Cabinet when he is not busy behind
the bargain counter.
In his dual capacity OF Postmaster Gem
eral and trade mark this individual has
brought more scandal upon the present Adj
ministration than have come upon 1t from
all other sources combined. The indica-
tions from the testimony in tho Philadel-
phia investigation nre that moro trouble for
Gen. HARRISON is In stock at the bargain
counter. WANAMAKER himself was a very
poor bargain when the Admin stration ac-
Quired his services. It would have been
credit to Gen. HARRIsoE's account IL he had
followed The Suns advice nearly two years
ago. and disposed at any price OF this vulgar
person who has degraded our Government,
not because he is shopkeeper, but because
hc has insisted on carrying with him into

A sunstroke Is not an accident, but dis
ease OF the brain arising from natural and
known causes. 30, at least, was held yester-
day By the United States Circuit Court at
Kansas City in a suit on an accident
policy. The decision may have been per-
fectly correct from legal point OF view.
but 1t suggests the unscientinc character
OF the word accident" In Its general
use the word almost always implies notion Of
spontaneous chance. or at least Of the OPERA
tion OF some unknown cause; but In the world,
a. we now know 1t, Of unvarying sequences OF
cause and effect. accident" In this sense
will soon be recognized "a synonymous with
miracle" and with tho advance Of knowl-
edge will disappear.
There remains. howevor. the very common
and practical use Of the word as designating
any event that happens without the design Of
the agent" to quote tho words OF the dlction-
ary. But surely a sunst oke is an accident ao-
cordinR to this definition. At sop,e seasons In
some tropical countries sunstroke may fol-
low exposure to tho sun as certainly as wet
ting follows exposure to the rain. Such is
hardly the case in any part Of tho United States,
for here in the sevsrest summer heat only an
inflnitesimal number OF people are sunstruck
out OF millions equally exposed and equally
unconscious OF danger: A disease OF the brain
may be the immediate cause OF death. as Is the
rupture Of a blood vessel when q man Is killed
BY brick from roof falling on his head: but
In each case tho efficient cause is a peculiar
combination of external conditions.
The word sunstroke" itself shows that
from the practical point OF the victim or the
bystanders the man might a. we'll be struck
down by falling brick or a thunderbolt. And
yet again. II everything that happens to a man
without his design Is an accident. all diseases
not inherited nor rashly and voluntarily
risked would be accidents. and the word would
lose all definite Significance. The meaning OF
accident" like the meanings OF most English
words. varies indefinitely and illoRically with
the circumstances Of its use. but summer
tourists may do we'll to remember that in law
1t does not apply to a sunstroke.

Each Of the three great cities OF the world

Large English investors are not
"blowing in" their pounds sterling
against will-o'-the-w isps nowadays.
Before drawing their checks they
examine the goods and make sure that
they are going to get something
tangible for their money. That is why
they buy flour mills, breweries and
packing houses. That is why they
have put their money in South Dakota
tin ore. II. Seaton-K arr, who is one Of
the directors in the Harvey Peak
Mining Company. has been telling a
press correspondent what he knows of
the South Dakota tin mines. His
words are not those Of a boomer or a
promoter. They are the utterances of
one whose invested hard cash bears
evidence of his sincerity. He says that
his mill at Hill City will soon be
crushing 500 tons of ore Il day. This
ore will turn out block tin as per cent
pure and there ars 100000 tons in
sight and on the dumps.
Mr.. Seaton-Karr knows whereof he
speaks for he has been on the ground
with the mining expert of his company
and his conclusions are the result Of
accurate scientific investigation.
