The Trial of Mackay's Assailant.

In the trial of Wesley G. Rippey (who
is poor) for shooting In the back John
Mackay (who Is rich) the daily papers
are getting in some fine work. Pathetic
parallels are drawn of the "jaunty, we'll
dressed millionaire" and the Jagged, in
firm and penniless defendant" From
the tone of the press, the testimony and
the jurors it is quite evident how the
case is going. The attempt of Mr.. Mac
kay to involve Mr.. Rippey in legal trou-
BILE has disguised every decent daily
newspaper. In fact, we would advise
Mr.. Mackay to leave town while charges
are still unpreferred against him, as in
our opinion there is great danger that
his attempt to shoot Mr.. Rippey and
then commit suicide will result in the
millionaire's conviction.-San Francisco

A journalist had come to him once
about a financial matter of great public
importance. but tedious and complex IN
its details. He expounded it, but never
expected to see in print anything more
than some loose and perhaps not very ac-
curate generalization ON the subject. In
the sequel he was agreeably surprised by
an exposition of the case to the public at
once lucid, detailed and absolutely cor

oddly enough, lady journalist. 1t was

of name for his invention would confer

time insure himself many gratuitous ad-
vertisements if he were to select word
that rhymes to one of the many words
in common use that have very few
rhymes or none at all. A few more words
rhyming to love are greatly wanted.
Revenge and 'avenge' have no rhyme
but 'Penge' and 'Stonehenge.' Golf has
no rhyme at all. 'Starve' has no rhyme
except (oh, ironyD carve Scarf has

LEARNING FROM US.
England and Germany Send Commissions
IN learn How We Do Thfnps

England and Germany Send Commissions
to Learn How We Do Things.
A commission was sent from England
to this country about six weeks ago for
the purpose of examining the American
system of public education in order to
ascertain if there be any of its features
that can be advantageously adopted in
England or can be incorporated in new
school bill which is in course of prepare
ton for introduction to parliament. All
Of the five members Of the commission
nre ladies. and all are teachers in London
schools. To each of them has been as
signed prescribed district in this coun-
try, and the one of them on service in
and near this city has performed her duty
thoroughly and has gathered large
amount of useful information, knowl-
edge of kind that cannot be obtained
from school reports or from books about
our system Of popular education. The
commissioners are women of experience
and of singular capacity for the duties
intrusted to them. We trust that their
labors here will inure to the advantage
of their country and aid in the deamorti-
cation of its schools.
1t seems that Germany as well as
England is willing to learn something
from this country. The German gov
eminent has appointed commission of
military engineers to examine the rail
road system of the United States and
make report upon it. They are to study
the agencies of direction, the mechanism
in use and the methods of transporta-
ton, with especial view to the obtaining
of suggestions that may be useful to
Germany in the event Of war. We sup
pose that all persons who have Travelled
extensively over the railroads of Ger
many and have observed the way of
conducting railroad business there must
be assured that the commission can OBJ
tain number of useful hints here. The
commissioners upon their arrival in this
country will doubtless endeavor to make
the acquaintance of DR.. Chauncey M.
Depew, who is entirely familiar with all
the details of railroading and with the
methods of transporting both men and
freight for long distances or for short.
DR.. Depew is now jaunting out west,
where he is charming the interviewers,
but we are sure that he will take time in
any month of the year to render service
to the German military engineers sent
here to devise ways by which the rail-
road methods of Germany may be i'm
proved.
We are happy that our country is able
to give valuable suggestions both to
England and Germany. The English
system of popular education is not as
orderly as our system. The German adj
ninistration of railroads may be made
more efficient than it is by the adoption
of some of the novelties that are of use
here.-New York Sun.

New York women's Display of Diamonds.

The development which most surprised
the infanta in New York, it appears, was
the amazing display of diamonds made
by women who attended the ball given
In her honor. The princess herself avoids
such display, having been accustomed to
diamonds and other precious stones all
her life. A natural reticence, aside from
her perfect breeding, restraints her ex-
pressions within diplomatic limits, but
that she was amazed at the gaucheristic
exhibition made by some Of New York's
women in that line is fact, and one not
particularly creditable to the home bri-
gade either.-Joseph Howard.
