The celebration of the Fourth of July
at New Whatcom should not be con-
fined to the residents at the other end
of the Bay, but should be entered into
heartily by the people of Fairhaven as
well. No doubt the committee on col
lections will meet with a generous re-
ception when they bring their sub
scription lists over, which will give us
an interest in making the day a splen-
did success, but the celebration should
be a combined one of both cities. The
committees should be enlarged to take
in some of the sportsmen and business
men of this end of the Bay, and SUI
preme effort made to make the day one
of the most eventful which has ever
been celebrated in this part of the state.

Commander Davis, in writing a
letter to Mrs. Potter Palmer, lady in
every respect equal to the Princess
Eulalia, as to how the princess should
be treated by the American plebs at
Chicago, says: "Will you kindly warn
the good people of Chicago that when
they are presented to her they are
presented TO her husband as well,
who stands by her side and who
is prince of royal blood. People when
presented should bow to each. They
have made the mistake here in New
York of almost ignoring the prince and
saluting the princess alone. The gal
liant commander further suggests that
sin retiring, people should avoid turn
ing their backs on their royal high
nesses." IN other words, the pork
packers must not give the cold shout
der to the Spanish nabobs.

energies. After graduating from Yale in the
class of 1875 he Immediately began study
ing law, at first in the Office of Higbee e.
Wike at Pitts6eld, Ills, and afterward at
Columbia law school in New York and
the Chicago law school He graduated
from the latter institution and was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1878. He then located
at Springfield, where he has since been en-
gagged in the practice of his profession, at
which he has been more than ordinarily
successful.
In 1890 Mr.. Jones was elected to the Hi
nois general assembly from the Springfield
district, and in the following winter he
took a prominent part in the protracted
and bitter contest over the election Of q
United States senator, which finally result
ed in the selection of General John w
Palmer Mr.. Jones made the nominating
speech for Senator Palmer at the beginning
Of that struggle, and during the weeks that
followed was prominent in the councils Of
the noble 101," as their admirers love t.
call the men who so long maintained ar
unbroken front in fighting for the man Of
their choice.
Mr.. Jones has won for himself well de
served reputation as public speaker, and
his discourses show great thoughtfulness
and no small skill in the rhetorical graces
He is prominent in Democratic politics in
Illinois and is president Of the state leagu,
of Democratic clubs. He was adelcgate Il

The Born Criminal.

The criminal tendency is sometimes
born into the individual; at other times
it is educated into him. Children among
the criminal classes can scarcely become
honest and respectable if they would, so
thoroughly are they cowed and ,perse-
cuted when they show any disposition
toward honesty, good feeling and indus
try.
Those who have made study of the
physical characteristics Of convicts have
found that there is certainly a type of
born criminal. Persons belonging to it
have powerful jaws, small eyes, project
ing cheek bones and small, retreating
foreheads. Women Of the criminal type
have big, i'll shaped ears and mouths.
small eyes and large, pointed noses and
are very masculine in appearance. This
goes to show that women are morally
better than men, for when they are Grim
mails they look like men.
Deformities and lack of physical sym
metry are much more characteristic Of
criminals than Of ordinary persons
Many have deformed and unsymmetric.
al ears, cross eyes and squirting eyes
and crooked noses. These born physical
defor1nities are twice as frequentin Grim
inal children as in other children. Muir
derers have large bones, thieves small
ones, and the criminal is generally per-
SON of feeble bodily constitution as well
as of dull intellect, although be may
have large share Of animal cunning
II is interesting to learn that PRISONERS
are apt 10 be well educated and to have
. pleasing, persuasive address.

by delegates. Senator Sherman has been
requested to open the congress with an ad-
dress of welcome to the foreign delegates,
and President Gage will follow him with
a general address of welcome TO all the
delegates present. The delegates from other
countries will then be introduced to the
congress, and it is expected that each of
them will take advantage of the oppor-
tunity TO enlighten the assemblage upon
the financial system, banking methods and
resources of his own country. Then there
win be papers and addresses upon general
financial and monetary topics and confer
ences of experts in particular branches of
banking and finance.
President Gage has taken a great deal of
interest in the preparations for the con-
gress, as he does in everything else connect
ed with the Worlds fair, or with Chicago
itself, for that matter 1t will be remem-
bered that he was the first president of the
Worlds fair association, and he is still a
very important member of the directory
and one of the most active promoters Of the
stupendous enterprise. As banker and
fnancier his reputation is worldwide, and
probably no more fitting selection of a pre-
siding officer for the monetary congress
could have been made than that of a man
who unites in himself the distinct qualifi-
cations of high official connection with
the management of the fair, prominence as
citizen of Chicago and prominence in the
banking world.
Mr.. Gage has been connected with the
First National bank Of Chicago since 1863,
first as cashier and then as vice president.
He was the actual executive head of the
bank for several years before he was elected
to the presidency, and by the liberality of
his management greatly strengthened the
institutions influence. Chicagoans still
talk of his generous treatment of the banks
debtors at the time of the great fire, when
a more stringent course on his part would
have driven hundreds of them to the wall.
Mr.. Gage is an entertaining speaker, and
his talks on any matter that interests him
are pregnant with thought. He is fond of
discussing economic and social questions,
and the breadth of his views is often sur
prise to his auditors, who are apt to forget
that the man who addresses them was not
born to a bank presidency, but knew what
hard manual labor was in the days of his
early manhood when he came to Chicago
almost penniless and ready to do anything
honorable for his livelihood.

The managers of the park at Silver
Beach and of the local baseball team
have gone to considerable expense and
trouble to get the grounds in order, and
in their initial game today should re-
ceive hearty endorsement by the resi-
dents of the Bay. The boys have
worked diligently to get themselves
into condition to give a good exhibit
ton to those who attend, and it is to be
hoped that the game will be witnessed
by large crowd of people. 1t is inn
portant to let the visiting players see
that we are interested in sports of this
nature, so that during the season that
is now under way other mines will take
pleasure in meeting our local team, and
will feel assured that their playing will
not be witnessed by empty seats at
the grand stand.

In Great Britain the wage earning
class spends annually 1895, 200, 900 in in
toxicating drinks. In Belgium an EN-
ployer made an experiment by means Of
marked coins, which he distributed n
his men IN wages. He found in the next
two days that the men had spent half
their earnings in the drink shops. We
are informed that temperance move
ment has started in Belgium, but the pro-
ceedings during the recent strikes do not
look hlns IT.

A little girl has lately gone crazy in
the effort to collect 1,000,00 stamps. II
was more than her poor child brain could
compass. Somebody who ought to have
been sentenced to a term of imprison
ment started foolish story long ago that
the United States government would
pay reward of $500 to anybody who
would collect 100000 stamps. The
story was huge lie, but the bigger a
lie is the more people believe it. Thou
sands of children began to collect 1,000,-
900 stamps. One or two Of them actual
ly succeeded, at an expenditure of time
and energy that would have laid the
foundation of 81 100000 fortune. Aft.
or they had got the stamps it was only to
find that nobody ever had offered any
premium whatever for the collection.
and that the whole story was cruel
hoax. So it is. Nobody anywhere ever
offered $500 or any other sum for 1, 0O0,-
900 stamps. Nobody ever will. The story
is fit to be classed along with the tale Of
the Ohio cow that gave black milk.

The Poison of the Cobra.

The bite of the terrible cobra of India
is looked upon as meaning certain death
1t is not surprising that experiments to
determine the nature of this awful
poison should attract wide attention
when they are made in u scientific man
ner emitting their results to be accepted
with confidence Such experiments have
recently been conducted by Mr.. A. A
Kanthack. The venom was obtained
by pressing the heads Of living cobras,
by which nerve trying operation the
deadly huid was squeezed out Of the
fangs.
The fluid dries very quicklyan leaves
a yellow substance resembling gum
arabic or the dried albumen of egg, which
is easily pulverized The activity of the
poison is destroyed by prolonged boiling
a concentrated solution of it withstand
ing the effects of boiling for an hour or
two before entirely losing its poisonous
action. A weak solution could be rem.
dered innochous by being boiled from 20
minutes to half an hour.
But of course this can give no comfort
to any victim of cobra bite, since the
venom, once injected into his blood
could by no possibility be subjected to
such process of boiling.
Ammonia and chlorine water also
proved capable Of destroying the poison
if applied to it for n considerable time
in strong solutions, and carbolic acid con-
siderably delayed its poisonous action.
Some hope had been raised that doses
of strychnia might prove a means of
cure, but the experiments showed that
there was no foundation for this hope
So far, then, cure for the bite of the
cobra remains to be discovered. -

CONTRACTORS RESPONSIBLE

For the Chelsea Disaster In Which Four
lives Were Lost.
CHELSEA, Mass, Oct. Especial Justice
Hart, before whom the inquest was held
as to the cause of the Chelsea Yacht club
disaster, on Aug 3, 1893, has rendered n
verdict fl ,diug that Matilda Shuman,
Christina Putnam, John p. Warren and
A. l.. Pemberton. the victims, came to
their deaths in consequence of the defec-
tive construction of the balcony of the
clubhouse, causing part Of the balcony
to break down and precipitating the per-
sons to the float or landing stage In the
water below
From the weight and character of the
evidence given at the inquest, the court
said it could reach only one conclusion,
which Is summed up as follows:
If the balcony had been properly built by
the contractors, Hussey Bros of Lynn. ii
would have been entirely adequate to sustain
any possible weight or strain that could have
been put upon 1t, and this serious calamity
would never have occurred. Either the con-
tractors had no special training OF knowledge
Of the mechanical principles involved in the
erections of buildings nor any comprehension
Of the risks comprised in a faulty construc.
ton Of work of this character, or having such
knowledge and comprehension. they were
legally and morally bound to do their work in
manner which would insure the absolute
safety Of each and every person having occa.
sion to go upon the premises. This they
wretchedly failed to do, and are therefore, in
the opinion Of the court, alone responsible for
the cause of the accident and the fatalities
and injuries resulting therefrom
