"THE Autobiography Of an ASS is the
title Of novel that Robert Christie Muir
ray proposes to write. he does not give
Va az other intimRtion Of the character or
scope Of the work than its title. Tha
Is suggestive. But there does not seem
TO be as great demand for such an auto
biography from him as from thou
sands Of other fellows whom al
most anybody could name, nor for
such novel from him as for q plain
statement Of the case from thousands Of
more generally recognized members OF
She asinins fraternity. But perhaps he
knows best, as the resigned but spiritless
man said when the news came that his
mother in-law threatened to commit sui.

In an article which may be called "a
Study OF Accidents. = James r Pitcher IN
the Forum for September enunciates the
dogma that accidents occur when they
are least expected Pursuing that al
truism more definitely and in a more
scientific manner, II not more accurately,
he says;
1t is to be noted however, that more
accidents In proportion to population
occur ia the South, the Southwest. and
the West than Ia the Northern, the
Middle and In the Eastern States. The
older and more closely settled portions Of
the country are the safer ones. As to the
times and seasons, wild winter, with its
ley sidewalks, and mid GUNNER, with it's
great variety Of out door occupations, are
especially prolific OF accidents The most
common form OF accident Is a fall Dur
ing the year ending April 20, 1891, there
were reported 40 police headquarters in
the city Of New York D. 223 accidents re-
sulling in serious or fatal injuries; and
3 0s6 OF these we're the results Of fall.
or IL, 422 claims paid by one accident
company, ASIA we're for injuries re-
ceived from falls.
Mr.. Pitchers contribution Is not OF as
much value to science or as interesting
to the ordinary philosopher as ii would
have been II his study OF the subject had
enabled him or prompted any one else to
offer some plan to prevent and decrease
accidents. But he likely recognizes that
the remedy for accidents lies 10 general
and increasing civilization, which is diff.
cult, like universal Christianity. to hasten.
The most common form Of accident,
Mr. Pitcher remarks, "is a fall" Since
that Is the result Of a mans own care
lessness or Of something worse. no
amount Of legislation or care from other
people win either remedy or reduce the
evil. II Is the mans own fault and he can
not be forced to take better care Of himself.
Still II is interesting to know that in
creasing civilization, together with the
penalties exacted BY law, are gradually
reducing the average rate Of accidents in
proportion 20 the population in the East.
We may thank our stars that we live In
the East

THE instant and unprecedented sus.
cess Of Robert Christie Murray, the
author, in his own play of "Neds
Chums" al the Globe Theatre in London,
is the dramatis sensation OF the day.
The popular novelist appeared for the
FIRST time In England as an actor, speak
ing his native stsaorishlre dialect in the
part of Square Jack The London
correspondent Of the New York Herald
says:
The audisnse roared with enthusiasm
aud kept up one laugh from the begin
ming TO the end. can do no better than
to give the opinion Of Henry Herman,
author OF The Silver King" who sat in
the audiences. Murray is the best
comedy actor that has appeared on the
English boards since Tom Emory He is
the Eaglish Joe Jefferson. am amazed
to find SO able a Novelist turn ont TO be
such a splendid artistic actor
Many playwrlghts have attempted to
act their swn characters, but 1t is rarely
that one has sueessded. II Mr.. Murray
sustains the repatAtioA he has gained In
one nights performance no will have a

TIL the craze is over, their friends and
pockets are empty and the peo-
pie are 80 insutfershly bored that they
win not stand 1t longer Il is a good
thing for Murray to act his own play,
but we fear he has introduced fashion
