Admitting that there are two sides to

surdities committed by students on others

surprising because 1t is hard to under

can be set up, but a few newspapers have
nevertheless, spoken lightly of complaints
made by victims who very sensibly declined
to suffer and be silent. If there was even
hope Of good to be accomplished by the
infection of torture. sophists could reason
ably attempt to excuse hazing, but as the
only results are suffering for the unfortu-

Rapid transit by means of the overhead
trolley is still young In the city Of Balti-
more. but it has been the cause of much
righteous complaint. That a trolley car
can make good time is undisputed. but that
1t should be permitted to race through
crowded streets is something for which no
good citizen will contend. In all the large
cities and in many Of the smaller towns
great effort Is being made to bring about
the speedy abolition of steam railroad
grade crossings and 1t would be indeed
strange IL the danger against which an
almost universal cry has gone up should
be multiplied by permitting mechanically
propelled cars to dash over heavily popu-
lated thoroughfares at extreme rates of
speed. In Brooklyn, which is the ideal
trolley city. the so-called rapid transit"
mortality Is truly awful. and even Balti-
more's record Is a disgrace to civilization.
The Baltimore American eulogizes rapid
transit as glorious" but it allows that
''on the down grades some OF the electric
cars are now run at far too high a rate
Of speed" Having admitted the camers

1t will be rather humiliating for the
United States to apologize to the Brazilian
government for Commodore Stanton's Sc
rfous blunder. but there Is nothing else to
do. The humiliation. however, is not ma
tionaL and exists merely because the United
States. like any other civilized power, must
naturally feel ashamed of the fact that one
of Its trusted officers has done a very fool
ish thing. Ignorance Is the only plea that
can be advanced. but such a confession is
Tar from creditable. Some Of Commodore
stanton's friends-anxious to find some sort
OF reason for his extraordinary conduct
claim apologetical1y that it Is so long since
the commodore has had any sea service
that he has forgotten many things that a
naval officer afioat really ought to know
Such defense is too weak to merit consid-
Grafton Perhaps the commodore can throw
some light on what now seems to be a
dark chapter In our diplomatic history. but
II does not seem as though any explanation
worth talking about could possibly be
made That Commodore Stanton may be
able to justify his official salute of a rebel
nag is sincerely hoped by many who hold
him in high personal esteem and who are
proud of his hitherto successful career.
but unless new and startling testimony Is
developed the hopes of friends and admirers
are not likely to achieve realization.

The narrow escape of Superintendent
Powell from injury by a runaway horse,
as noted in Tuesdays Star, emphasizes
afresh the necessity for some regulation to
protect the community from risks of dan
ger to life and limb from that and like caus-
es. Not only should the feeding on the
streets Of unsecured teams be prohibited, but
the practice Of allowing horses to stand at
the curb stone unhitched, or tethered to a
weight. should no longer be allowed. The
first named habit is always a source of
danger, however safe and steady the ami
NAL may be deemed to be, and the other is
hardly less Objectionable. for the reason
that horses and vehicles so disposed are
serious distractions to travel, in that they
prevent other vehicles from approaching
the sidewalk in that vicinity. These bucolic
usases may be well enough for country VIII
lagos, but after city has reached or near
ed the quarter-of ambition marx, they
should be discontinued.

from one section or other of the country

Reliable Information from Berlin as to
the manner In which Ambassador Runyon
was received by the Emperor William is
calculated to cause disturbance in the So
cial circles Of New York and Newport and
to embarrass beyond the limits Of ordinary
descriptive powers the distinguished mono
cleopolist who has rented the post of am
bassador to Italy until another administra-
ton comes In. Had this news come one
day sooner 1t is safe to assert that Mr.. Van
Allen would not have participated so JOY
ously In the fox hunt of which he seems
to have been the feature. 4. appears that
after q formal interchange Of courtesies
between Minister Runyon and the Kaiser
there was lengthy and errdite conversation
as to the silver controversy which has &C.
cupied such a conspicuous place in public
attention for some time past. So far as We
know, Ambassador Runyon upheld the ma
lions reputation for intelligence, and 1t Is
generally understood that the impression
created by him upon the German monarch
was Of the favorable variety. But what an
awful thing 1t would be If King Humbert-
when he first shakes the official hand of
him who sees with but one eye-should ask
impairment questions about national af-
fairs in America. How embarrassing 1t
would be for Ambassador Van Allen! No
one questions Mr.. Van Aliens fuency when
he discusses fine horses. expensive foods.
rare wines. or human pedigrees, but how
could he be expected to give utterance to
sensible comment on the affairs of the ma
ton which he regards as uncivilized. and
whose citizenship he values so little that in
all his life time he has voted but once? 1t
may be regarded as presumptuous. and per-
haps King Humbert would resent the
proffer of advice but IL his majesty desires
to retain the respect he seems to have for
America and Americans he will eschew all
topics Of a really serious nature and con-
verse with Mr.. Van Allen on subjects to be
selected by Mr.. Van Allen himself. Assur-
ances Of such a conclusion, forwarded at

And verify we have them. Only few
days ago George Hanley, aged 10, who had
beat his way from Chicago on the cars,
tapped till at 227 East One Hundred and
Third street, New York, and made long
running fight in which he shot three per
sons and tried very hard to shoot another.
Only few weeks ago Louis Wood, q street
arab of New York and Brooklyn, most
barbarously murdered little 3-year-old Ber,
tie Wagner in q New Jersey farmhouse
At least such is the charge, though there is
\ faint hope that he may prove innocent.
And about the same time the sad spectacle
was witnessed in the great city of two boys,
aged 8 and 10, on trial for the murder Of a
third, aged II.
The story Of Louis Wood and BERTHE
Wagner is indeed a pitiful one, be the old
er boy guilty or innocent When Louis
stood up before Judge Bartlett of the su-
preme court in Brooklyn, where 1t was de-
cided whether he should be sent to New
Jersey to answer for a life, murmur of
astonlshment went up from the lawyers
and spectators The boy looks as though
he were not more than g OFT. He is about
8 feet inches In height, very slender and
has coarse features and shaggy brown hair.
His eyes, which are set far back in his
T.
He Is, in prosaic truth, a child of the slums,
stunted in his growth probably by lack of
proper nourishment in infancy, perverted
in intellect by lack of training and stunted
in his moral nature.
After the usual career Of street arab,
In which he displayed an almost unnatural
cunning, he was sent at the age OF II to be
farm boy with Mr.. Wagner near Free
hold, N. j. The pet and pride Of the Wag-
ners was their little 8-year-old boy, who
was delighted with the coming of Louis
and seemed quite enraptured with his slang
and his talk about New York life. But
Louis Wood soon grew very tired of Baby
BERTHE. He had no use for babies" he
said, and treated the little fellow roughly.
He was Of 80 little account on the farm that
Mr.. Wagner soon told him to CO. He went
up stairs to pack his little stock Of cloth
ing, and playful BERTHE followed him. In a
minute or two Mrs. Wagner heard the re-
port Of gun and rushed up to find her
darling horribly mangled and lying in a
pool of blood.
An old gun that had long stood In the
corner lay on the floor still smoking The
father was soon there and saw that the gun
had been fired at close range and the baby's
eye and left cheek had been torn away.
They raised their little darling. The baby
opened his blue eyes just once and looked
around upon the fearful faces of papa and
mamma.
"Oh, mamma, mamma, give Berthe q
drink" he mOaned. A few more groans
and little sighs ended all. Baby BERTHE was
dead
In the excitement Louis escaped and was
arrested some days later IN New York. His
account runs thus:
'Bertie dragged the gun along the floor.
The trigger was cooked, and 1 told him so,
but he kept dragging it, and pretty soon 1t
caught In hole in the carpet, and the gun
