Privacy In Bathing Coming In.

Privacy IN Bathing Coming In.
Boston Herald.
One good effect of our Anglomanis
is certainly seen in the mandate of
highest fashion against the promis-
cuous public bathing which bid fair
at one time TO be imported here from
France. The English battle from
machines run well out into the sea,
and our swells now try TO come
as near a similar decorum as possible.
If at Narragansett, Cape May and
Long Branch the old license still
fingers it is distinctly under the ban
of the best society which has branded
it with the fatal condemnation-"nOt
nice" Those of the Four Hundred
who battle at Newport use Bailey's
Beach, around the bluff, at the end Of
the famous Cliff walk. 1t is small,
beau tifully sloping beach, and some
of the fashionable elect meet there In
the mornings. 1t is strictly private
beach, and the houses are so placed
behind the en- bankment that 1t Is al
most impossible to catch glimpse of
the bathers. At Nahant the bathers
use the small beach at an early hour,
and harder set of human beings
could not be found, covered from
head to heel with comfortable, loose
old tlsnnels heads tied up in straw
hats and bathing shoes on feet. Pri-
vate beaches and early bathing hours
without witnesses, q quick rush OF q
genuine animated scarecrow from the
neigh boring bath house to the waters
edge, is the substitute for the highly
colored pictures of the Maid or the
Venus of the sands, on which the
summer reporter delight to dilate-
all along the North Shore.

The Recent Magnetic Storm.

Mr.. William Finn, skilled obser-
yer, reports that the magnetic storm
that accompanied the recent display
most severe that he has ever encOun-
tered. The distur bance of telegraph
circuits, due to the phenomenon, be-
gan early in the day, and at last AL
most completely paralyzed the ell tire
telegraph service of the country. Be-
tween II and 1915 noon he noted no
fewer than $50 changes in the direc-
ton of the current on New York
and Providence wire, during which
time the current averaged 8 or 10
millismperes. Some of the magnetic
waves that struck the wires were
of Atlantic force and magnitude, and
the effects produced were of CORE
spending variety and extent. At one
time a reading Oh al iron wire be-
tween New York and Boston repre-
sented q. difference of potential oe.
tween the grounds at the two ends OF
about 492 volts. This was the highest
electo- motive force observed in any of
the tests. The current strength on
An Elizabeth, n. J.. wire rose to q
maximum of $50 milliamperers with
an estimated electromotive force OF
2l0 volts. Mr.. Finn holds the spots on
the sun to be responsible for these
latest extraordinary manifestations,
and says that ever siDce the first
days OF telegraphy the periods of
m sximum sun spots have been periods
OF great trouble" on the wires.

Republic. 1t went down under al
avalanche of ballots, the immensely
of which was as unexpected an(
startling to the victors as it was ap
palling to the vanquished.
The revolution was as complete
as it was bloodless, and as free from
violence as it was swift and over
whelming After years of patient
endurance, the. people have spoken
and the voics.is as the thunders o.
Sinai. After weighing the evidence;

of its ald-time iadversary-an adver-
sary that. t1ptfor the folly and mad
ness ',of its' opponent would not to-
day liays d., recognized existence
within the limits of Christendom.
Democracy has achieved this victory
not becaase4.of it's own worth, but
because of the unworthiness of it's
antagonist; not because it is the re-
clpient of the love and confidence
of the people, but because of their
disgust with Republican misrule.
Calmly weighed iinsthe balance, the
Democratic party has but little
claims upon the affections Of an up
right and.progressive people.
There has never been moment
of it's existence that it did not'openly
espouse someiniquity against which
the best moral sentiment of the peo-
ple was I'M unanimous revolt
First, human slavery with is
blood of curses that came home alike
to the enslaver and enslaved. Sec
ond, treason that eliminated in a
senseless, cruel, and sanguinary re-
bellion. Third, that concentration Of
all depravities, the traffic in alcoholic
drinks. The hand of memorable
Justice removed the two former mon
trosities from the Democratic house
hold, though, like fond parent, the
party pleaded and prayed, fought
and bled for their continued exist
ence. Protection Of the liquor traf-
fic is still one of the favorite tenets
of Democracy; an unmitigated curse
that it delights to- uphold and cham
pion. Add to this the abject en-
slavement of the party to the money
power, and it may be questioned if
the people have not rushed blindly
to the support ola party that will
increase, rather than tighten, the
burdens from which they sought to
escape. Many, reasons have been

Democracy, without surrender of
principles, was the only hope. In To-
calities, this strategic feat was &C
complished, and despairing thou
sands rushed to the standard of CO.

bination, many turned to. the Democ-
racy, hoping for change that GER
tainly could be no worse, and might
be better. With the silent, but po-
tent weapon that

and the enemy went down before
them like the hosts of Sennacherib
before the angels of destruction.
A terrible reproof has been admins

people won victory? The curtain
falls upon one act in the mighty dra-

Republic. At the end of four years
it will Use upon another act IL t
may partake more. of the character
of tragedy. q. If, the Democracy takes
warning by the fate of its fallen ad-
versary, and adopts the measures of
relief demanded, the people will &C
cept it as the party of deliverance.
But if it continues to hug. the dead
traditions of a dead past,gto delude

more the popular demands of pro-
gressive age land the cry OfOppressed

The. laborer's wage schedule had
been repeatedly scaled down until
his family could no longer live on

Thousands had been thrown out

So tense was the stress imposed by

Millions saw before their agonized
eyes no fairer visions, no brighter

arose the marvel of November eighth.
The masses reasoned that under a

Baby Drowned.

Yesterday about eleven o'clock Mr.. AL.
bert f. Beckman, while standing on the
end of the bridge at the corner OF Alan
and johnson streets, waiting for street
car. espied in the ditch about II or Is feet
from where he was standing, corpse.
He thought at first it was a cat or dog,
but going nearer he found it TO be an in
FAINT with its head as well as body tightly
wrapped in white cloth. He boarded a
passing car and from Dreiss' Drug store
telephoned the police.
About 1870 O'clock the police notified
Justice Adam. who ordered a coffin from
the poor house and the body sent TO his
office. There he and DR.. Clifford viewed
the body. one leg of which had been eaten
off by the crawfiSh. On account of the Of
fensive odor, the body was removed TO
the poor house by DIR. Clifford, where,
with the aid of disinfectants, DR.. Clifford
examined it more closely and found that
it was white child several months old,
and had probably been in the water three
DAYS. The body was SO decompoSed that
it could not be ascertained whether II
was bruised or not. 1t was probably a
murder.

always reverently observe Memorial day
and be patriotic to this country. The
speaker ended by an appeal to his COM
rades and to all Americans to see
that not one star shall ever
fall from the glorious banner
that now floats DER u.s." Continued APP
plause greeted the speech, which was
full of beautiful and appropriate QUOTA
tions, illustrations and idioms.
The military band then played '"The
Star Spangled Banner" and the decora-
tion exercises began.
The G.. A. r. burial ground was visited
and the graves were decorated with flags
and flowers, while General Stanley and
several officers and citizens decorated the
tombs of General Bartlett, Capt Marstel-
lar. the late Hon. Gustave Sleicher and
many others.
In the city cemetery and the Alamo
Masonic cemetery, close by, many SOL
diers' graves were decorated and ia the
National cemetery flowers were strewed
on the unknown graves of many buried
there.
The Belknap Rifles then fired volleys OF
musketry over the graves and the
light battery fired salvos OF artillery and
the services of Memorial Day in San An
tonic for 1892 were over and the return TO
the city was made.
