HEREDITY is brought anew to the at tention of the people by the death of the Dalton "boys" at CoffeyvilIe, Kansas. Three of the desperados were killed out right and the fourth one will die of his wounds. The generation of outlaws which has been making life a terror in the unprotected west has thus been vir- tually extinguished, but the chances are that there are a number of the breed left in the world and they will be heard from in the future. It is significant that the James boys, the Youngers and the Daltons were all blood related. They had common granddame and grand sire from whom the bad blood has been circulated.

THE Springfield Republican explains why the landing of Columbus should be celebrated in New York on October 12 and in Chicago on October 21. It is due to the correction of the calender by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, by expung- ing ten days to restore the equinox to its proper position in the year, so that while this anniversary would by old style fall on the 18th, by the new style it would fall on the 22nd. But as Col umbus set sail from Palos on a Friday discovered Guanahani on Friday, be gan his return voyage to Spain on { Friday, and on a Friday (March 15 1403,) made again the port of Palos, thC Fist, falling on Friday of 1892 most fitly fulfills the conditions of , commemorative celebration.

I., in the hold of which were discovered fully a dozen Chinamen, all ot whom, with the captain of the barge, were taken into custody.
 The suspicious of the customs officers seem to have been aroused a few week. ago when F. H. Twohey, Deputy Collector in charge of the Bonaventure Depot observed q great number of ChinameI boarding railroad cars bound for St. Johns, St. Hilaire and different points on or near the Richelieu river.
 He at once notified Inspector Van Kirk and the two officers went to work witt the result just described.
 It is said that three Canadians were il the deal and that they were to have re ceived $50 a head for every Celestial the. landed in the United States.

BISHOP TURNER of Georgia tells how it came about that the colored voters of that state voted so solidIy with the democrats in the late election. The democratic candidate for governor had spoken out against lynching negroes, and had dared to offer reward for the capture of the Iynchers. Inasmuch as the position taken by the governor had been beneficial of good results, the colored people felt that their votes were due him under the circumstances. That is both grateful and sensible.

Safeguards in Cholera Epidemics.

A physician in Syria, in recent let ter to the editor of the Medical World of Philadelphia, stated that, in a cholera epidemic which he observed there, of those who adhered to the Mo hammedam fatalistic doctrine and called loudly upon Allah to save then. nearly all died, while of those who adopted rational treatment from Amer ican physicians fully ninety per cent recovered. The cholera epidemic which visited this country in 1S40 proved con clusively that cleanliness is of far greater value than. lime or sulphur; that a strict unyielding quarantine is worth moro than any remedy, on the principle that prevention is better than cure; and that pure living, temperance in food and total abstinence from stron z drink are the best possible safeguards. We, in America, have direct interest in the civilization of Russia and the scientific enlightenment of Persia and India If they were breeding serpents instead of microbes, and sending them broadcast over the world in every yes sel, we would soon make it our busi- ness to stop them. It would rebound to our direct benefit if every shrine ot superstitious fatalism, every so-called 'holy city," were leveled to the sands, their bigoted prophets and priests were well instructed themselves and then set to teaching the people the plain facts of physics and chemistry and the principles of hygiene and sanitary science,

A SENSIBLE innovation which Mrs. Harrison introduced at the white house was the abandonment of the hand-shak- ing at receptions that made the evening one of torture to all of her predecessors, She managed this with much tact, by carrying a fan in one hand and a bou- quet in the other, so that persons, see ing her hands full, were spared the awkwardness of offering a handshake she could not accept.

It's just about time he did The boy who is in one of our handsome $3 suits when school opens will be somewhere near the head of his class when school closes. You cannot improve on these suits anywhere in America for either style, durability or price. They'll come pretty near lasting until your boy out grows them, no matter how hard he may be on clothes. They cost no more than suits which, in a week will go to pieces in the play ground, and they won't look un- presentable when finally discarded. In other words, they are built to stand tbe racket and it doesn't make much differ ence how rough the racket is. Just as durable, well designed and inexpensive are our suits at $1 50, $2, $4, $5, $6.
