HIS WIFE DISOBEYED.
A Newark Eausnand Uses q Revolver WITH
Tragic History.


Tragic History.
NEWARK, N. j., Feb, 1S.-A revolver
that has a very tragic history was the
weapon used last night by John G. HUI
Der to end his troubles. Two years ago
Huber's father killed himself with the
same revolver, and his stepfather severe
ly wounded his mother with it, and is
now doing time in the State prison for
his crime.
Huber was young man of "a, and
lived with his wife and two small chill
dren at the corner of Bank and Bergen
streets. He worked at the nat shop, and
when he came home from work iast
evening he found mis- wife entertaining a
woman whom he had forbidden her to
associate with. He ordered the woman
out and she left. Two friends who had
accompanied him home from the shop
left at the same time.
Mrs. Huber began at once to prepare
supper, when she was startled by a pis-
toll shot that rang through the house.
fastening to the bedroom, she found
her husband weltering in his blood. He
had shot himself through the temple.
He died without speaking a word.

COURTESY IN THE CARS.
Wise Observations of a Watchful Travel
and Their Lesson.

Wise Observations of a Watchful Traveller
and Their Lesson.
The watchful traveller in city cars, or
wherever his fate may guide, is more
struck by the general courtesy than the
occasional disoourtesy of the gentler sex.
The observable phenomenon in city
transit is the resolute, aggressive, con-
scious selishness of man hiding behind
a newspaper with an air of unconscious
ness designed to deceive-that is, to lie
Or brazening it out with an uneasy
aspect of defending his rights. This is
the spectacle, and not supercilious as
sumption on the part of the shop girl.
The courteous refusal to take a seat, or
courteous acceptance of 1t, is more
familiar than the courteous proffer.
Cato the younger suggests that it Is
wrong that seats should not be provided
and holds that the company should be
compelled to furnish the accommoda-
ton for which it is paid. 1t is Daniel
come to Judgment, wise young judge;
but how shall it be done? Shall men
keep their seats until by sheer shame
and in Difference to indignant protest
the company does it's duty9 But would
the shame and Indignation be due to
the consciousness that the accommoda-
ton paid for was not provided? Would
they not arise rather from the con-
seriousness that 1t was peculiar wrong
that the gentler sex should be SO incom-
NODDED? And, if so, while the incommo-
dation lasts, what but the selfshness Of
men devolves it upon women? But If
men should agree to surrender their
seats that women should be first accom-
modated, is there any doubt that the
wrong would be speedily righted? And
to what would this be due but to the
fact that the selfishness of men would
insist upon the comforts of which, while
the accommodation lasts, they deprive
women?
Indeed, if all men in crowded cars
should resolutely keep all women stand
| lug, the wrong would not be righted,
! '.acause women would submit with un-
/ -eIfish patience, and because corpora
IONS have no souls. The better plan,
:!erefore, is that all men shall refuse to
. woman stand, because if men are
ally disconnected by their own cour-
:t:sy they will compel redress.

BALTIMORE, Nov. %, 1891


MFssRs EDITORS CAPITAL
After reading careful the report pub
Iished in the Baltimore Sun, of the at
tack Of the police crew In command OF
Mate Phipps on the oyster pungy Gem
mandsd by Capt Boyer,in which one of
her crew was killed. it appears TO me,
even after accepting as truthful the st&te-
ment Of the police crew, and giving the
affair the most favorable construction.
II was wholly unjuslifable in its manner
and that the killing of Smith, the de
fenceless hand on the pungy, was homi-
eide, If not deliberate murder, upon less
conclusive evidence of which many q
man has been hung
This case demands a more searching
and fuller examination than such cases
heretofore have received. And IL IL
should be shown that the homicide was
the effect Of proper obedience 10 the OBJ
legation of the law, then the law should
be so amended as 10 prevent such an oc-
currence again and avoid the horrible
crime of legal homicide and murder.
And IL il should appear that the acts
whereby the unfortunate Smith lost his
life were unauthorized by the law. and
therefore were the lawless acts of Mate
Phipps and the men under his command.
they should receive such just punish
ment for their crime as the law pro-
vides for such criminals. Suppose the
United States government commanders
OF the revenue cutters had pursued the
course that Mate Phipps says he pursued
at once fire balls and continue the fire
on unarmed vessels when they wished
to examine the papers and cargoes of
vessels entering Cape Henry, would
they not have justly brought upon them
selves and the government, the condem
nation of all just minded and rstionsl
people'
hese commanders never dreamed OF
firing bali at escaping vessels until blanks
had entirely failed, and even then, not
at the vessel although the chase was OF
Ten long Had this course been follow.
ed by the oyster police doubt whether
a single man would have been hurt much
less killed in any OF toe fights which
have occurred to the disgrace Of the civ
ilization OF our age.
