this we reflect the opinion Of the most prominent edu

LOSS OF THE DESPATCH.
WARNING, DON'T GO TO SEA ON FRIDAY.

WARNING, DON'T GO TO SEA ON FRIDAY.
TO tho Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The cause OF the loss Of the Navy vessel De-
spach lies in the fact that she sailed from here On
Friday. The superstitious mariner makes this ex-
PLANTATION and that should be sufficient. 1t Is true that
SHE got too far from deep water and too close to the
coast: hence she went high and dry on Assateaeue
Island. This disaster might have occurred II she had
started her trip any other day than Friday but
the sailor will stand loyal to his conviction that 1t was
due to violation of the laws governing superstition
and rufiing of the temper OF the invisible god who
rules the On Thursday she was one OF thirteen
vessels at the Navy Yard; on Friday morning she
started for Washington, and on Friday night she was
stranded vessel with the heavy breaking over her.
Just before she sailed from NewYork strange black
cat jumped upon the deck Of the vessel and the sailors
looked upon this a bad omen.
Superstition may be, or It may not be. disease due
to the influence Of some evil spirit, but It has some
remarkable and striking symptoms, and II it rides
rampant upon the 1t also is quite prevalent among
the people the land, and 1t is also mistaken idea

where superstition ends and reality begins. The skip

TRUSTEES, THEIR DUTIES AND NEGLECrs.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The defalcatlons In the Ulster County Savings
Institution suggest pertinent considerations for
trustees and those TO whom is confined the keeping
OF other peoples money. In their statement to the
depostors, the trustees Of this b,nk declare them
selves ignorant of It's condition. yet they had volun
tarIy placed its whole management in the hands OF
two men, both OF whom proved unworthy OF their
trust. The duty of these trustees was plainly to
secure competent bootkeeper who would inaugurate
such a system of accounting as would be complete
check on all Irregularities. Such a system Is per
fcctly feasible easily operated and is now In success
full practice.
The statement Is made that the assistant treasurer
"has had charge OF the cash, 1t being his duty 70

why should any individual have exclusive charge Of

Of every servant of that institution are open to The

dangerous.
Another consideration would be the securing OF mel
for trustees or auditors who are afraid Of being

Thomascs that insist upon counting the cash, and
seeing the evidences OF securities said to be in pos
session. Thorough examination at frequent but irreg
