The Horrors of War.
War is awful" said old Mr.. Lightner.
Everything suffers in war: people all suf-
fer, animals suffer, the plants suffer and
droop and die; the little birds are killed or
are frightened away from their nests and
their young; the trees are torn by shot and
breastworks; grain and grass are eaten up
trodden into the ground in an hour;
Springs and wells are the soldiers boons,
and are supped up to the last drop. The
water even of that dirty, bloody creek over
there. where thousands of cavalry and ar
tillery horses were watered, was greediy
used by the soldiers. War Is all suffering
Why. over there. back of Powers Hill. the

The Coat of Great Length.
The same paper describes the coattail Of
swelldom at the present time as a thing Of
generous portions extending far below the
knee and as full as the harmonies of ar
tistic tailoring will admit The tailors
won't tell you so, but it is true. neverthe-
less, that this sudden discarding of the
abbreviated garments Of a season or two
ago is largely due to the fact that the
ladies are wearing their dresses full
skirted and loose fitting. and that the
unities of attire, and, indeed, gallantry
itself, require a correspondence on the part
of man with the gentle whims Of the fair
sex.
But while the long-skirted frock coat I'M
questionably bears the imprint of approval,
the matter of its propriety and gracefulness
is not entirely conceded. Permit the tailors
to decide the question, and they will, al
most with one acclaim, pronounce IL the
acme of perfection in masculine apparel.
The artists, who differ SO widely on most
subjects, and who deplore the angularity
and stiffness of modern dress, are of one
mind regarding the double breasted frock

a feeble compromise. lacking in ideal grace
as well as in practical usefulness. They
claim that no garment can be considered
faultless in which a man cannot feel COM
Portable and at ease. In this latter view

may be his love for dress. will be pretty
apt to coincide.
Next to the frock coat on the fashionable
list comes the three-buttoE cutaway. Like

THE ULTRA-LONG COAT.

Little by little men are beginning to give
more attention to the matter of their clothes.
The subject has been handled so often in
the newspapers that they are beginning to
realize the truth of the statement that a
hundred dollars spent judiciously and with
care expended upon the garments purchased
VIII go farther than twice that sum when
the articles are neglected and carelessly
worn.
washington Is said to have IN its midst
a man who spends an even thousand dollars
q month on his clothes. This seems impcs-
sible at hrst, and 1t has often been made
the subject Of discussion among clubmen
and IN places where men are won't to con-
gregate. whether this sum can really be
spent in this way. 1t probably can be dis
posed OF by man who neither knows nor
cares to know the value Of money and who
spends IT simply for the sake Of getting rid
OF 1t. But 1t is equally true that a man can
be fully as we'll dressed at all times on
tenth or a twentieth part Of that sum- pro-
vided he expends 1t wisely and then knows
how to take proper care Of his garments
afterward.
Discussing this very subject a writer in
the New York World says that there are
few men who recognize the IMPORTANCE of
economy In wearing apparel few who take
proper care Of their clothing. and still fewer
who know how to make the best Of what
they have. SO as to cause their limited as
sortment to answer all the purposes of an
extensive wardrobe.

cleopatra's barge was launched I'm Decem-

antine, and cost about $4,000 even at that
early day. She measured So feet on the
water line. was p feet II liz inches wide
and IL feet 5l-2 inches deep. Curiously
enough. these dimensions and proportions
are not very different from those Of the

almost exactly that of the Mayfiower un-

In spite of her owners love of seaman-

seems to have been, to say the least, &C.
centric. One side Of the yacht was painted
In horizontal stripes OF many colors, and
the other bore a similarly diversified de-
vice, after the manner OF the herring bone
pattern. Her standing rigging was made of
ropes laid in different colored strands huge
raise windows were painted on the sides of
her cabin, and, altogether. she must have
been distinctly at variance with what is
considered 'shipshape" at the present day
Nevertheless she was very fast and beat

snip OF her day. in an all-day race at sea.

WAS ACQUITTED.

N. F. Murphy, of Grand Forks,
who shot and Instantly killed Charles
Link for committing a brutal assault
on his little six year old daughter,
giving her a loathsome disease, was
tried last week on the charge of MUIR
der, and acquitted. The defence al
legged temporary insanity, adducing ex-
pert testimony TO show that Mr.. MUIR
ply was subject 70 gpells Of mental
alteration due to . blow on the head
received in youth. The Herald, com,
menting on the verdict. says it was
just and right, and commends the
jury for its action. But further on
in, the same article il. expresses its real
sentiments when it says that u laws
for the punishment of such crimes as
that hideous assault, are entirely IN
adequate, and intimates plainly that
Mr.. Murphy was justified in killing
Link. The Fargo Argus indeed, goes
50 far as to say that bis shooting the
brute was good evidence of his sanity,
and while we cannot concur in the
latter sentiment, yet I'VE do think it a
strange and hideouss commentary on
our code Of justice and morality that
a mar can be put in jeopardy Of his
life for killing another under such
circumstances. Our law makers evil
IDENTIFY do not recognize the fact that
there are possessions dearer and more
precious than life. What father OF
mother would not follow an infant
daughter-for she was but an infant
to the grave rather than have her the
victim Of such beastly lust? And yet
a few years imprisonment at most is
all that could be expected had Link
been put on trial for his crime. No
MI. Murphy's defence should have
been "Justifable homicide" and we
believe no. jury in North Dakota
would nave rouna ham-eai.ty-WA
should then have had a precedent
which would justify a father or broth
er under like conditions in putting a
speedy end to such fiends. The
trial should be to determine the guilt
of the dead man-not of. the living.
That once fully determined, the whole
