THE INDIAN PARSEES,
Gentle, Courteous and Kind-Good Domes.
tic Relations.


tic Relations.
The Indian Parsees number now in
all ninety thousand people, They are
and always have been devoted subjects
of her majesty, and we may attribute
this as much to a certain sympathy
with western methods of thought over
eastern as to the thought that they
would rather be ruled by entire for
eigncrs than by those whom they
might themselves have conquered had
fortune favored them, says the Nine
teenth Century.
The Parsee, in the business of life
and in public connections. is enterpris
ing, eminently successful. earnest and
diligent. He does most things with
ease, is blessed with intelligence, has
tact and adaptability, SO that his rela-
tions with all the differing races around
him are easy and happy. No caste dis
tinctions have made for him his pro-
fession, as with the Hindus. Parsees as
such are all equally well born and
equally well favored of the Deity. The
Heaven-born Brahmin has not his par
allel among them. Zoroaster came to
priest and layman alike. Any census
will give the range of their vocations
When not medical, legal or educational
they are commercial Agriculture they
seem to have forsaken with Persian
pastures, although there is now some
prospect of a return to early habits in
this respect.
In domestic relations the Parsee
shows favorably. He is gentle and
courteous, while, as in the case of al.
children of the sun, his affections are
strong. His treatment of his woman
kind is not oriental; no petty jealousy
consumes him lest they should be as
powerful as himself if allowed similar
advantages. He is, perhaps. unneces-
sarily luxurious in his style of living,
and this reacts on his character, maxi
ing him averse to any exertion which
would involve personal discomfort.
Doubtless it is not his fault, he has
been too much the center of his fam
ily's affections to be anything but self
regarding by education

An Anccdotc from the West Showing the

SO the story goes, man entered saw

started, / WAS one OF the first deposit

downs, it must have been wiped out

"What is your name?"

"Where have you been all this time,
Mr.. Jefferies? And why haven't you
written us?"
'In Californy. I thought the hun

this bank day is good for seven thou

But, though the lesson is good one,
the story is more than open to doubt.
For it would take one hundred dollars
nearly forty-six years to become sew
ty-eight hundred dollars at ten per
cent. compound interest; and no saw
ings institution does or can or ever did
pay so high rate for long term of
years And even that would have re-

S AVE THE FORESTS.
Lessons Which Our Country Can Learn
from Foreign Governments.

from Foreign Governments.
1t often happens that the farther
we GO abroad, the more forcible are
the illustrations that we find to guide
us IN our action at home, saws the
Youths Companion. The conduct of
commercial rivals may sometimes af-
ford strong hints as to how we should
manage our own business
So'Ee years ago the government of
Bavaria sent a skilled forester TO study
the cond itions of timber growth in
the United States. While here he
made the remark, as if speaking of
matter generally known and accepted:
In fifty years you will have to i'm
port Your timber, and as you will
probably prefer American kinds, we
shall begin to grow them, in order to
be ready to send them to you at the
proper slime"
What an instance of scientific fore
thought, and withal what warning.
Perhaps II is not yet too late to grow
on our own lands the timber we shall
need generation or two hence; but il
we are to do SO, it is time to take rig
orous steps 10 stop reckless forest de-
struction and to encourage scientific
forest cultivation.
While our government sells outright
its forest lands for two dollars and a
half an acre. France obtains almost
exactly the same sum yearly from each
acre of its forest land by sales OF tim
ter. We spend our capital; France
makes an income. and safeguards its
capital.
Palissy, the famous French potter,
who was wise IN other things as well
as IN porcelain. declared that the neg

CHICAGO. Dec. 21.-There was compara-
tive calm in Judge Tuthilrs court room
this morning while the trial OF Dan Cough
lin, for completely I'm Dr. Cronin's murder,
was in progress. Mrs. Foy had made her
exit. and popular interest had subsided un-
I'll another sensational phase of the famous
murder case should develop.
Police Captain Schuettler, who was Civ.
ing his testimony regarding the Carlson
cottage when the court adjourned yester-
day, was recalled to tell the remainder OF
his story. He cut out chips with blood
stams On tne plank wuH!xseps hall fosr
and walls of the cottage and sawed on the
broken piece of shutter with the paint nm
ger marks on it. The painted section of
the bed room floor with foot prints on was
removed by his order. He testified that
he noticed blood-like stains under tho
smeared paint where Il was thin. There
were stains on the chimney. which appeaf-
ed to him like blood.

BOLD ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY
The Feed Store of s. s. Daish Entered
Last Night
The Lock Broken With q Hatchet and
Preparations Made to Blow
Open the Safe.

An attempt more reckless than brave was
made some time last night to rob the safe
OF Mr.. s. s. Daish, feed and grain dealer,
whose place of business Is located at the
corner of North Capitol and D streets
northwest. just back Of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad depot. Nothing was known
OF the affair until this morning, when the
shipping clerk came in at o'clock and
Immediately took in the situation. Some
time during the night party Of men arm
ed with hatchet, monkey wrench, '.jim-
my" and other crude tools, taken from the
Baltimore ard Ohio railroad, commenced
operations on the building. which Is a frame
structure, and looks as If it might be easily
entered.
Tried to Blow Open the Safe.
The door of the building. however, was
securely fastened by a Yale lock, and the
men evidently broke the keeper to the
lock with hatchet and so entered the
store. There were two safes inside Upon
one of these the men commenced work.
They broke oft the knob. poured powder
through the opening and inserted a fuse to
blow the safe open. But here either their
plans failed or their nerve gave out for the
work went no farther and was found in the
state In which they left ii this morning
The funnel with which they poured the
powder into the safe was found along with
the tools, which they had left, and the mat
ter was reported to Lieut. Kelly of the
sixth precinct There was only $50 in
money In the safe but over $1,000 worth
OF securities and bonds and some valuable
private papers belonging to Mr.. Daish were
also inside.
Evidently Amateurs.
The robbers We're evidently amateurs, as
they went to work in an unskillful and
bungling way They did not molest any
thing else In the store. although the desks
and drawers We're all open, and there was
y worth Of postage stamps lying loose on a
table They were, of course looking for
money Yesterday three white men, having
the appearance of tramps, were seen loung-
ing about the place all day. but no especial
notice was token of them, as the place is a
great loafing ground at all times The at
tempt was folly itself, as the watchmen of
the railroad are up and around the vicinity
all night, and at the first sound such as
would be occasiOned by the explosion of
powder would be on hand and prevent the
tnleVes getting away with their booty.
Ihree years ago like attempt was made
10 get into safe belonging to Mr. Daisb.
put II resulted only in slight injury to
the same. The police have no clews where
by to lcok for the men, and 1t is probable
that they have already left the city.

arrest, and he therefore desired to enter a
nolle pros. in the case.
Mr. Coleman, for the bookmakers, thought
the men were entitled to a preliminary ex-
animation in the case. He thought II was
for the court to say whether the prosecut-
ing attorney had a right to enter a nolle
pros. in the case or not
Judge Miller thought the government had
that right and said that even IL the case
were heard and dismissed 1t would in no
way effect the Indictment
Arrested Again.
The matter was further discuss ID, but
Judge Miller made no change in what he
had said. and the noile pros was entered.
While the matter was under discussion.
four deputies from the marshars Office,
each having a bench warrant, appeared in
court and took places behind the rail in
closing the bar. just back of the four men
charged. and when Judge Miller said that
the case was ended so far as his court was
concerned. the indicted men were placed un-
der arrest and taken to the City Hall

The Ivy City track was practically de-
serted this afternoon, hardly three hundred
people making the journey. The slim at
tendance and the continued opposition of
District Attorney Birney cast a gloom over
the management and regulars which not
even the bright sunshine could dispel In
spector Hollinberger and his detective force
were again on hand. but no resumption OF
betting was attempted. The one topic OF
discussion was the arrest Of Bookmaker
Marvin and his men yesterday, and the
probable result of the case against them.
No betting being permitted, little If any
real interest was manifested in the running
of the days card of six races. The man.
agement put up a notice to the effect that
no hand books would be permitted In
spector Hollinberger instructed his men
that If they discovered any such betting,
or betting of any kind, to promptly arrest
the parties engaged.

NO DETAILS RECEIVED
As to the Destruction OF the Lower
Cedar Point Light House.

The light house board has received no
details in regard to the destruction by fire
Of the light house at Lower Cedar Point
early yesterday morning, and while 1t is
believed that the keeper and his assistant
escaped all right the board has received
no information on that point. Benjamin
r. Grimes, jr, is the keeper and John
Field is his assistant. They had boat and
would have no difficulty in reaching the
shore. only half mile or so distant, pro-
vided they were alarmed in time.
The Lower Cedar Point light is a screw
pile structure standing in six feet Of water
on the end of Yates shoal. opposite Lower
Cedar Point, Md. 1t was established in
1857 and was fixed white light, with a
fixed red sector The matter will receive
immediate attention. 1t will require the ac-
tion of Congress to rebuild the light. 1t
Is probable however, that steps will be
taken to mark the spot with temporary
light until better arrangements can be
made. Commander Yates Sterling, u s.
N, inspector for the fifth light house dis
trict, Is now Investigating the matter with
view of fixing the responsibility for the
fire.
