Reading were thrown on the market,

hammered down 90 points.
The scenes at the exchange through
out the day were exciting, the CALLER

immense crowd which was interested
in the pendemonium which reigned be-
low. Brokers jumped, roared, yelled
and gesticulated; the roar arising from
the babel of thousands of voices ex-
tended beyond the walls of the build
ing and caused passers-by to stop in
amazement. 1t was panic. Brokers
tumbled over each other in their wild
eagerness TO unload. Reading was
thrown on the market in big blocks OF
from 900 to 1000 shares at a time
and snatched up by the bears at ruling
prices. Readings first, second and
third income bonds dropped point IA
minute. At least six firms were forced
to the wall. A receiver has been APP

The conservative Public Ledger of Phila
delphia Is the latest recruit of the army Of
illustrated newspapers. On the general sub
Weekly discourses sensibly, cheerfully and
hopefully as follows:
sThe question of cuts in the columns of
the daily newspapers. IL not exactly burn
ing one excites more animated comment than
many OF more importance. There is no more
reason why the reader should not receive
accurate Information pleasing or salts
fying impressions through the fruits of the
engrsvers art than there is why be should not
that is suited to his needs and tastes.
That the business OF printing pictures,
whether once, or seven times, or thirty times,
a month, NAV be conducted in a manner to
make the jud icious grieve, or even swear, is
something Of which the general reader does
not need TO be informed. But no general
business practice is TO be judged BY its abuses
alone or condemned on account Of them. The
one thing that the last nalf century Of publish
ing. in this and 0-aer countries. has established
very clearly Is that good pictorial work justifies
itself wherever il can be achieved and with
this solid fact to 60 upon the timid or over
sensitive or desperate critic Of bad pictorial
work may wait with patience for its disappear
ance.
The public cry for pictures. The nevspa-
pers will supply this public demand or perish
in the attempt. and soma OF them do thus
perish The character OF daily newspaper il
lustration improves each month So let the
casual public parsonage who has been sacrificed
in the rudimentary stages OF daily newspaper
art be Of good cheer. The future is full OF
promise Of reward for patient waiting and en-
dursnee.

The conviction Of DR.. Robert W. Buchanan
for murder can be regarded As another victory
for the expert witness. DIR. Buchanan's guilt may
be ever black. but his case, As well as that Of
Carlyle Harris, suggests the query whether there
should not be q change in the system now in
vogue. where expert evidence is required to de-
termine a case. Could there not be . commits
sion Of experts appointed by the court to de-
termine the facts upon which expert testimony
is required? The report agreed upon by the
commission could then be given to the jury
to consider along with other facts in the
case. As i: is jury comprising. often, mon
not especially well qualified to weigh the
nice scientific points involved, has to de-
pend largely upon the impression created
by the most prominent or most plausible
Of the scientists who are called upon
to testify, and when there is direct conflict a.
there has been in this Buchanan matter perhaps
the least sound but most easily understood
theory will be accepted. Circumstantial evil
dence has always been properly regarded Is
dangerous because it is so easily possible for an
ingenious man to connect the accused with the
crime. but it is no more uncertain than the
testimony Of the so-called experts" Of whom
two are rarely of one mind.

A regular and proper inspection Of milk
shipped into this city will do much to diminish
disease. but the inspecting influences must ex-
tend to the buildings in which cows are shell
tered Prof. Leeds. the eminent bacteriologist.
has contributed some amazing figures on this
subject. They are as convincing as they are
alarming. He says that while fresh milk
taken from healthy COW in a clean stable
contains almost no bacteria the number present
in milk taken from cows in filthy stables sur
passes belief. One sample contained over five
million colonies Of bacteria in a cubic cent?
meter about one-third Of a teaspoonful).
Another contained fourteen million colonies
teaspoonful of this milk would contain fifty
million colonies Of bacteria" An interstate
inspection Law is one of the necessities which
must be attended to in the near future.

Colleges that desire to succeed in the great
work of educating and civilizing may as well
begin now as any other time to stamp out the
evils which are attendant upon college life.
Principal among these are the brutalities which
mark the hazing customs and the initiatory
ceremonies into some Of the fraternities. Many
times the refined sensibilities Of the better peo-
pie of the country have been shocked by out
RACES committed by those whose hands will do
much toward controlling the nations future.
There is a close relationship between the refine
ments of high-grade culture and the cruelty OF
the savage, but it should not be permitted to
show itself twice in the same place. Ironclad
regulations strictly enforced will do much in
the line of prevention, and for those who defy
the law and regard not the welfare Of their
fellow beings there are legal punishments
which should promptly be administered.

Once in while the city of New York does
something for which it should be commended.
This it did when it caused to be made and
erected the statue of Ericsson, which was
yesterday unveiled with appropriate ceremo-
MES The memorial is among the best Of the
statues in the big city and is the first one ever
provided by the municipality. Other great
men have been immortalized in marble and
bronze within the bounds Of Gotham, but the
monuments have been paid for by private
subscription; this testimonial to the great in.
ventor is public work. In years to come
there will be overwhelming belief that Ericsson
should be honored by the nation rather than by
locality, and when that time arrives there
will be national monument to the ingenious
Swede, and it will be located at the national
capital.
