THE fashion set by young MIR. Smith,
1T Evanston, H., OF numbering his
sweetheart and then blowing out his
,wn brains, has boon followed by several
other red-handed murderers. 1t 10 true
the awful deed of young Smith was not
of an original nature, for many others
ike it were committed long before his
ime, but the circumstances of the
Evanston crime were SO wantonly cruel
md barbarous rs to make ii a notable
case. AS all examples, good or bad,
.lttract followers and imitators, the tel
graph promptly brought accounts OF
,rimes of similar nature from other sec
ions Of the country, varying only with
.he social conditions OF the parties and
he nature Of weapons employed. And
vet there are maudlin se~ntimentalists
Who are prone to excuse the crime of
ioung Smith and throw about it an ex-
tenuating halo of romance. But it was
4 fendish murder for which no sufficient
excuse could have been given in the
yves Of the law had the murderer not
taken the case before a higher tribunal
by his second crime of suicide.

BUSINESS GOOD,

The statistics Of business for the first
quarter of the current year are quite
satisfactory. According to Bradstreet's
the number of business failures during
that time was less than since 1882. The
liabilities Of the concerns going to the
wall, however, were very heavy, but ii
the same time their assets were rela-
lively larger, which Fact indicates that a
good many of the failures were precipi-
tated through the embarrassment OF
others. OF the entire number OF fail
ures during this quarter, 1909, nearly
sixty Of them had liabilities each Of
100000 or more, while one Of them, a
Massachusetts company, had liabilities in
excess of S 100000, another, a Pennsyl-
vania iron manufacturing company, had
liabilities of s., 900, and five other
companies went down in different por-
tons Of the country having liabilities OF
$4,000 or more. Bradstreet's says that
no better illustration may be given oil
the comparatively favorable nature oil
this quarters report of business failures
than that one failure in New England
and one in Pennsylvania, in entirely
different lines, will account for the toGaI
net increase of liabilities this year as
compared with last. With these two
failures excluded, Notwithstanding the
embarrassment Of several widely separ
ated banks and an increase Of 65 pei
cent in liabilities, of the Is per cen,
fewer traders failing in New York city
the grand total of liabilities would have
been smaller for the first quarter of this
year than in n like portion Of 1892.
