Admiral S. r. Luce Says the End of War
VIII Never Come.
It's the popular and very proper thing
to say that the progressive spirit of the
age is leaving the barbarism of war be-
hind, and that as civilization advances
it will learn less of war. Arbitration
is now the sovereign panacea for that
national i'll But, as matter of fact,
war has never been so carefully and so
Systematically studied as at the present
time. The genius of invention has
never been SO prolific as now in devils
ing and improving implements of war.
That man is honored and enriched who
contrives means Of destroying the
greatest number of human beings in
the shortest space OF time. AS the con-
duct of war becomes more scientific
and the art becomes refined and the i'm
plenentS more destructive. the recur.
renee of war is lessencd, the duration
shortened and the loss of human life
diminished. This is the direction the
spirit of the age is tnking-a direction
in the interest of humanity. These hui
name conditions, however, involve an
advanced stage of preparation AS n
science war should be scdulously cult
waited by the few qualified to undertake
it; rs an art it should be constantly
practiccd by the entire body set apart
for that purpose and with the imple-
ments actually to be used in war 1t is
to this state of preparation that we owe
the peace of Europe to-day. The mere
presence of the American army on our
southern frontier in 1866 was sufficient
to cause the collapse of Louis Napo-
Icons scheme for a Mexican empire.
BY perfect state Of preparation COL
lision of arms was avoided and the
: shedding of blood spared. TO be un-
prepared is wicked. 1t invites aggres-
sion and Il useless cffusion of blood.
The question of an empire in Mexico
supported by French bayonets was not
one for arbitration. We simply would
not have it. There is certain class of
international questions for which arbi-
tration is admirably suited; there is an.
other class for which it is not suited at
all--for which it is totally inadmissible.
1t is the lamb that advocates arbitra-
ton, even though the life and honor of
the fold be involved, while the wolf
maintains n lofty Indifference to all
such methods of proceeding. Venezuela
has been for years past supplicating for
arbitration on the question of boundary
between her own territory and that
claimed by England; but it is only
within the last few months that the
latter power has, according to report,
formally declined the good offices of the
United States in that controversy. Ar
bitration was inadmissible in lS6O6I,
when so sorcly needed. War, which
had been in the course of preparation
for thirty years preceding it's outbreak.
was the only solution OF the great prob.
lem 1t had to be. Arbitration fails
most miserably when most needed. and
what wonder? The high contracting
parties and their umpires are all men
of like passions, having no court Of last
resort but the battlefield. North

him was to cable to number of friends

ter or worse than it's predecessors,
though the supper, excepting at the
lButler's own table, was worse than
usual, which, of course, is not due to
Dclmonico, but to the economy of the
managers. The printed reports next
day were profusc in telling who was
present and what the women wore, but
the incidents best worth noting we're

Speaker Crisp can count on the sup
port of members of the dramatic pro-
fession whether they favor u high or u
low tariff. His election recalls to some
of the elder actors about town the fact
that at one time he belonged to the pro-
fesslon, and was, as have been told,
quite promising Thespian. This was
when lie was young man and lived
with his parents in Savannah, Ga. Both
his parents were members of local
stock company and were highly es-
tcemed in Savannah, not as actors
alone, but as members of society as
we'll They had lived long in that part
of Georgia and were well-known. 1t is
the recollection of gentleman with
whom talked on the subject that the
elder Crisp owned the leading theater
in the city, in which he and his wife
played. At all events his residence
was in the same building with the thea
ter. The present speaker was not then
of age, but he played many parts"
and, it is said, played them we'll. It
was supposed that he was permanent
fixture of the stage, but circum-
stances led him to the study of
the law. From law to politics
was natural step, so from the
lighter parts of comedy and trag-
edy we find him playing great
role with the whole country for his
audience. Other actors have got into
politics, but none made the Chit which
Actor Crisp has made. Had the late
BILLY" Florence had his wish no would
have furnished an antithcsis of this by
leaving the stage and entering politics.
1t was not generally known until after
Mr.. Florcnccs death that he was can
didate for a diplomatic position at
Vienna or Berlin, and President Arthur
was strongly urged to appoint him. He
could easily have done worse for the
consular service and probably did; but
by not appointing Mr.. Florence the
president saved the genial comedian to
his profession and enabled him to still
add to his laurels on the stage, for it
was after this that he won his most
substantial fame. Florence would
have been willing to accept a small
salaricd position under the government,
and perhaps would have rounded out
his career in some such way, whereas
for some time before he died he was
earning more than the president of the
United States, besides having achieved
fame Of more value than riches.

some atewart Money Ynt.


There was a good deal of surprise in
town that as large an amount as 81, OOO,-
0Oo of the money left by the late Mrs.
a. L. Stewart still remained in the
hands Of her family, the general impress
sion being that the most of it had been
absorbed elsewhere. Two unmarried
old ladies, both Clinchcs, half sisters of
Mrs. Stewart, were suddenly discovered
to be still in possession of such real
property as Tie Stewart mansion,
leased to the Manhattan club, the Met
rorolitan hotel, leased by the genial
Landlord Ilildrcth, and ether houses i'm
town, with some specified real cstat on
Long Island. This came to light by the
transfer OF all this property for the con-
sideration of one dollar and the pay
ment of $4,000 annuity to each of the
old ladies to younger members on that
side of the family. The wisdom of the
old ladies is evident They spare their
successors the contest and vcxatious lit
igation which now seem inevitable IN
almost every large estate left by will in
this city, or, indeed, elsewhere through
out the country. These contests, con-
spicuous here by the comparatively re-
ccntTilden will controversy which has
received its final quictus BY the court of
appeals refusal of a rehearing in the
casc-has prompted these old ladies to
dispose of their money, exactly as they
wish, while they have the money to dis
pose OF. 1t would not be at all surpris-
ing if similar dispositions of property
should become common. 1t is true that
most rich men wish to hold on to their
money so long as they can; but they
wish also TO dispose of it us they like,
or literally, as they will" and when
they see. from frequent illustration,
that such disposition is more than like
Is to be in direct opposition to their
will, they may scnsibly conclude that
they would better manage matters
themselves while they can do so.

2:17. and three years later lowered her
own record to 2:l4. Rerus appeared on
the horse horizon in 1878 and trottcd in
2:134, and was followed the next wear
by st. Julien in 2:12A, these firurcs
being reduced the next season by the
same horse to 2:114. Then Capt.
George Stone came upon the scene with
the handsome Maud S. and in the same
season, 1850, she trottcd in 2:l0sl. Four
years later Jay-Eye-See lowered the
record to 2:10. .'ay. Eye-See reigncd but
one day, for, as if to rcbulle his pre-
sumption, the very next day Maud S.
trottcd an honest mile in o:09s4. Twice
after this the chestnut mare lowered
her own record, the first time to 2:09A,
and in July, 1855, ut Cleveland she
made her famous burst of 2:OSM. This
was unapproached and apparently unap-
proachable, until after six years, Sunol
comes along with her wonderful speed
and thrusts her muzzle under the wire
in 2:0S4. In the meantime Nancy
Hanks, Nelson and Allerton are each
trotting down near the record and there
is no telling what may happen. The
glorious climate of California seems to
have an amazing effect in developing
speedy trotters, and we may have sur
prising news from Stockton any day.
Mr.. Stanford says it is part of his
theory TO not press horse to the point
of endurance, but some of his recent
records, from his yearlings up, would
suggest that he must be crowding his
flyers pretty close tO the limit Mr.
Stanford said recently that "there are
$1,000, 900 horses in the United States,
and if by breeding we can raise their
value 500 per horse, we have paid off
the national debt"
1t does not seem to me unreasonable
that the American horse will pay off
the national debt some time prior to his
trotting in two minutes.
