marry and of a nice regard for the pro-
prieties Mr.. Turner has felt it his duty
to ask 5000 on the ground that she is
a common flirt. 1t is evident that he
has not done this in the heat OF passion;
rather in the depths Of woe and humil-
iation and after repeated soft expostula-
tions and sterner reprimands.
He went so far as to tell her that lie
detested flirting, though we may be
sure that he declared his consuming
passion for the flirt,-he hated the sin
and loved the sinner. All to no pur-
pose. And now he wants 5000 as a
monumental warning to girls that the
spirit OF the age will not tolerate firt-
ing.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Turner
may come off with flying colors and the
money, for with good start in life he
will make some trusting non-airting
soul good husband. There is no nom
sense about Turner.

The word-makers have been bothered
to find the right word for the lawful
taking of life by electricity. Electrocu-
ton is the most prominent candidate
for public favor, but it is not u good
word. An intelligent Greek offers the
best of all suggestions. For the method
he would use electroplexy, for tho in
strument, electroplectron, for the per-
son suffering the penalty, electroplex.
The terminal comes from the Greek
verb pIetto, to strike, also to suffer any
evil, us in the word apoplexy. Electro
plexy is logically derived word, con
veys the right impression and is easy to
pronounce. We are indebted to the
learned Greek, Mr.. John Patrikios, for
the thought.

Now For Fun.


Mr.. Mills, of Texas, has highly re-
solved to stump Ohio in the interest Of
free trade, an eighty-cent dollar and
Roger @. Mills for Speaker of the House
OF Representatives. If Ohio shall be
foolish enough to cast her lot with the
Democracy this year Mr.. Mills will be
ready to confess that he did it with his
jaw, and on the strength OF that claim
rs his right the support OF that State in
the speakersllip contest.
1t won't do to think that Mr.. Mills
begins and ends with being a pictur-
esquo Texan with broad hat on his
head and bottleo of something-or-other
in his belt. Where his own ambition
is involved he is as practical as he
knows how to be.
A beautiful feature in the character
OF Mr.. Mills is that he is easily riled,
and having relapsed into that condi-
ton a shrewd talker on the other side
can wind him up with great facility.
There are such Republican takers in
Ohio. Put one OF them on his track
and mark the result. 1t will count
every time.

A Grent Achievement.

All globe-trotting records are broken,
all the fancies of the romancers dis
tanced, by the run of the mail from
Yokohama to New York on its way to
Liverpool. Ten days across the Pacific
and three days across the continent
have been accomplished. II the City OF
New York performs her part OF the con-
tract, reaching Liverpool in seven days,
which she will do easily if she have no
mishdp, the mail will be delivered in
Liverpool twenty days from Yokohama.
This brilliant exploit shows fine or
ganization and the best equipment. 1t
is a startling reminder of what has been
accomplished in recent years to solve
for the pushing spirit OF the nineteenth
century the problem of rapid transpor-
tation.
The railroad dash across the conti-
nent was the great connecting link in
the bold experiment, and to achieve
this on schedule time required long runs
at a rate exceeding mile minute.
The slightest hitch would have de-
ranged the whole programme. The
performance is dazing. iJl5il3

TIE first encampment of the National
Guard of West Virginia is a notable
event. Our force is not large, but there
is enough of it to make display, and
Fit be good display it will arouse in
the State the military spirit, which
needs arousing. Tho main object is
a week of military education for the
men already in the service. Good re-
suits have followed the epcampments
in other States, and West Virginia
should be no exception. The people
wish the soldier boys pleasant and
profitable time.

Congress will have to look into the
charge that Acting Rear Admiral
Walker has treated his superior officer.
Admiral Gherardi,, with conspicuous
contempt. The Navy. Department does
not seem disposed to notice the matter.
For some reason up to this time I'M
discovered, Walker has for years had
things his own way As bureau chief
he blacklisted certain officers, many Of
them his superiors in rank, and he
made life us unpleasant for them as he
knew how, and in this line he displayed
marked talent. He had full sway under
Republican and Democratic administra-
ton alike.
For long while it was idle to COM
plain OF him. Complaints were pigeon
holed or officers making them rebuked
at his instance. Towards the end of
President Cleveland's administration
Secretary Whitney began to get Walk
er's measure, but it was too late to take
him in hand vigorously. Since he has
been in command OF the white squad
ron, Il distinguished honor, his manners
and methods have in no way i'm
proved.
II this man is superior to the whole
navy all other officers in that service
may as well step out and let him have
it to himself. That would make him
utterly miserable, for it is the pleasure
OF his life to lord it over men OF rank,
the higher the better.

The Worm Has Turned.

Every man should havea sympathetic
Interest in the suit brought by John W.
Turner, OF Minneapolis, against Miss
Ella Tcrwilliger,-every unmarried
man, because in the course OF human
events the unmarried man will desire
to reform; every married man, because
he may have occasion to make another
venture. Before marriage is courtship,
and here is where Mr.. Turner seeks to
perform conspicuous service for his
sex.
There was no engagement, but Mr..
Turner was candid enough to tell Miss
Tcrwilliger that he desired to address
her, and, according to his story, she
understood that he wished to marry her
and in this spirit accepted his atten-
tions. We are to suppose that he took
her to church, to the theatre, mayhap
to the circus.
OF course he provided the customary
and necessary supply OF ice cream and
ice cream soda Aman OF his serious
purpose must have done more or less
business in caramels and the where
with the feminine favor is won. Mr..
Turner makes no vain boasts ofwhat he
lid, but contents himself with the man
" statement that he created the girl
fair" This warrants the caramel ny
pothesis.
How did Miss Terwilliger respond to
these delicate advances? By flirting
with other men to such degree that
