A commercial traveller entered the Office of a
st. Louis hotel, says the Republic, and picking
up pen proceeded to make several perpendicu-
lar lines upon the register.
When he had made half dozen, more or less,
be threw down the pen with some exclamation
about it being unfit to write with, Then he took
up another and began making more straig hit
marks like capital Is with the shoulders cut
off.
By this time the clerk was angry and informed
the ''drummer" that the register was intended
for signatures, and must not be defaced in that
manner.
20, don't get mad about it," said the man
with the pen.
He made few horizontal dashes and giving
the register twirl, showed the angry clerk that
he had only been writing his name, which was

Even in the lifetime of the eccentric
Madame Blavatsky the theosophists of Eng
land were always in a wrangle as TO the
leadership Of their cult. But the learned
Russian woman always managed to retain
the position of high priestess. Now that
she is dead, however, the noisy dispute will
probably open afresh in every direction
with renewed violence. Nearly ell of these
new cults seem to be inaugurated with an
unduly large share ofvociferous wrangIing.
Possibly that may account in no small
measure for the attention they attract In

What difference there is in the customs
of different localities. Not long ago some
unprincipled man debauched the sister of a
prominent young New York lawyer who
brooded over the disgrace and the problem
of what he should do about it until he went
insane. just little later an impertinent
young Kentuckian insulted the sister of a
young farmer living in the same state and
within thirty hours the brother of the young
lady had put three bullets through the heart
of the offender and he was buried. Here
is a striking illustration of the different
ways Of doing things in different localities
within the same country.

Either the English politician must be a
very disreputable sort of character or else
some decidedly unprincipled men have in
sdvertently been admitted to the House of
Commons. Within the past six months no
less than half a dozen of the most unsavory
scandals have been disclosed In London, in
which conspicuous members of parliament
were involved. Purging itself of the dis
repute thus reflected upon it now appears to
be irresisti6ly incumbent upon that body.
Such disrepute is reproach to every mem
her. Consequently they should all take a
lively interest in expelling the reprobates
who bring so much discredit upon every
one associated with them.

When a foreign consul undertakes to
scold the local government of the country
to which he is assigned because its admins
tration does not meet with his approval, he
has then certainly exhausted his qualifica-
lions for future usefulness and is fully ripe
for immediate recall. Therefore Consul
Corte has no reason for remaining longer in
this country after the very insolently free
way in which he undertook to criticize the
people aud the government Of New Orleans.
Immediate transfer by his government to
some other post of duty or the retirement of
private life is the only arrangement that
would altogether satisfy the people of the
city in which he has made himself so OBJ
noxicus. Doubtless Signor Corte's early
departure will be looked forward to by
New Orleans people with eager anticipation

Promises TO modify the provisions of the

beyond the possibility of fulfilling the ex-

The Lynching Excused.

On Sunday DR.. Heber Newton, rector Of
All Souls church, New York, took Law
lessness" for his text. He commented at
considerable length on the New Orleans
lynching. In the course of his sermon he
said:
When law fails the sovereign people may
and must resume the law-making power,
and when such a resort to the ultimate
sovereignty of the people is made the form
of mob law will be always distinguished
from mob law itself by certain dignified
self-restraint and orderly action, respectful
wherever possible Of the rights of property
and of person. This characteristic of a
true resuming of power by the
sovereignty was notably exhibited in the
late action in New Orleans. However one
may deplore and condemn what was done,
none can question that there was q univer-
sal belief throughout the city that the
forms of Law had failed. 1t is not we'll that
suspicion should arise and spread through
out great ci6y that the forms of law are
mockertes, that the rulers of the people are
terrorized by secret clubs and gangs Let
such a suspicion spread quietly through a
great city, and then when some great crime
is wrought or some great horror happens
there may be quick, instructive appeal to
the ultimate sovereignty of the people
again.
This is the only instance we have noticed
in which the lynching has been excused
from the pulpit, and yet the idea that DIR.
Heber Newton expressed was presented.
though less clearly, by the New Orleans
grand jury in its report a few days ago.
And it is the idea that was in the minds of
the better class of people of New Orleans at
the time OF the lynching.
Lynch law, under all circumstances, is to
be deplored. and in well regulated COM
munities, where there are courts and
officers Of the law, it is to be condemned,
but it is useless to conceal the fact that
where there is continuous failure of
justice, and the people are satisfied that the
administration Of the law is in corrupt
hands, and that the law cannot be enforced,
just such an outbreak as that at New
Orleans is liable to occur The people will
endure great deal and remain inactive up
to certain point, but when that point is
reached their sense of wrongs endured IL
likely to find expression in mob law.

4 Bad Beneficiary.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1S.-The case
of conspiracy against the officers of
the Advance Beneficial Order is be.
ing tried today. The order held out a
plan by which its victims were "to
get rich quick" Mrs. Julia Schunk
one of the witnesses testifies. II join
ed the order thinking would get 500
for S45, and paid my dues promptly.
My husband and / are out $780, and
these men are living in luxury on
it," Her testimony is about
the same as all the other
witnesses. 1t Is thought that a re-
ceiver will be appointed for the order,
and that the officers can be made to
dlsgorge enough TO allow the dupes
at least so cents ON the dollar. An
effort is being made also to bring the
Philadelphia Mutual Life Insurance
company, which has nearly the same
list of officers as the Advance, to an
accounting before the law for trans
actions in connection with the Adj
vance, which are believed to be viola
tOns of a recent act of assembly. To
this end the insurance commissioner
has been requested to make an ex
animation OF the insurance company
affairs.

A Watch for a Compass.

London Field.
Some time ago it was pointed on
in n weekly paper that due south
could always be found by the aid of
3 watch, and the fact was regarded
as an interesting discovery. 1t was
however, made known that the fact
was ty no means new, and, indeed,
formed an item In the subjects touch
ed on in the army examinations. Last
week the fact is again brought for
ward in Iron as a thing not generally
known, and as we believe this is
cOrrect-as to knowledge of the fact
we reproduce the ms trnctiOns as fol-
lows: Point the hour hand direct to
the sun, then south will be at the
half distance between the hour hand
and MI. Thus if the hour hand be at
VI, due south will be in the direction
indicated by Ill, and the sun will,
of course, be point due south, and 80
on. Some years ago Mr.. John Dunk
in Lee, when he was Commodore of the
New Thames Yacht Club, made use
of this knowledge and set outs watch
as a compass, the points being out
side the hour numerals, but to use 10
the sun must be visible, or due south
known.

A BOLD HAUL.
ROBBERY OF THE CITY COL,
LECT0R.
SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS Sc.
CURED.
A Nice Sum to Spend for Christina as
by the Successful Marauder,
Unknown.

The stealthy, silent tread of the
midnight burglar is not often hear d
until many hours after 1t is too late.
He can not afford to do his work
bunglingly.
One did walk too heavily on front
gallery of q residence on Marshall
street the other night and left q piece
of his leg in the mouth of very saw
age house dog.
This same dog kills and eats cats
for q livelihood when there are no
burglars coming his way.
The soft echo of the burglar was
heard in the Office of City Tax Col
lector Rische last night.
No one heard it but the little mice.
The Office is on the third floor of the
new city hall. Near by is the city
electricians office, and an attendant
stays awake all night to attend the
fire alarm.
The large vault in the collectors
office, built as safe deposit for
books, records and papers, was found
open this morning about O'Clock, by
the colored janitor, Madison. The
hall door of the office, locked last
night, had been pressed open.
The sum OF 5000 In moneys belong
ing to the city, and little over $500
in moneys paid by tax payers as ad.
vance taxes was taken.
Six hundred dollars is q pretty sum
for Mr.. Rische to lose. His own
little safe in the office containing his
private funds, was not robbed. 1t
had another combination. The big
vault had the same combination that
was put on when the vault was finish
cd by the workmen. The thief knew
this com binatlon and opened all the
locks and got away easily.
The police in the first floor did not
hear the slightest noise.
The detectives are quietly at work
on it today, but have no clue.
This is the second time Mr.. Ris che's
office has been robbed. Once fellow
climbed over the transom at dinner
time and took 1925.
