King Oscar Sends Rewards to Two Gallant
American Seamen.


American Seamen.
F. K. Borden of $50 South Front
street, formerly chief officer of the bark
S. G. Bowart, was presented last week
through the Swedish and Norwegian
consul with the King Oscar medal of the
second class for his gallantry in saving
the crew of the Norwegian bark Anun-
da of Christiania, Captain w. J. Lar
sen. Seaman Patrick Mulvaney, who
volunteered to row Mr.. Borden off to
the waterlogged wreck, received medal
of the third class from King Oscar.
The Bowart fell in with the Anunda
off the coast in February, 1898. The
latter was in a sinking condition, and
although heavy sea was running and
it was hazardous to launch a boat even
Mr.. Borden volunteered to try to res
cue the crew. Seaman Mulvaney offered
to go with him, and the two managed
to get alongside the derelict and took
off Captain Larsen, his officers and
crew. The shipwrecked men had given
up all hopes when the Bowart hove in
sight, and even then thought the sea too
heavy for rescue. The medals are of
silver, with the head of King Oscar on
one side, on the other the name with
the motto For humanity" in Norwe-
gian. n.-Philadelphia Times.

Marriage is a lottery, you say,
And ali single folks should give thanka
Now. do not think it's that way
Or that all the married draw blanks.
Some men are most thoughtless and slow
And quite sure tho wrong thing TO do,
And others cause heartache and woe.
! am sorry to say this is true.
Some women are wicked also
And cnuse as much harm as a man.
No one IL born perfect, you know,
Or has been since time first began. !,
But somo men are thoughtful and kind
And strive to make life's burdens Light.
Some very good women you1l find
Who always will try to do right.
For married folks there's good way,
And 1t is quite easy to learn
Love each other well every day,
And all faults to virtues will turn.
There's another plan you might try,
And think it worthy of note
First pluck the beam from your own eye
Ere you look for the other ones mote.r

SECOND ATTEMPT TO 100000.
Neu York Sun.

Ne,U York Sum-
There is grotesque but not improbable
report from Hawaii that Madam Liliuo-
kalani has retained a syndicate OF native
magicians, or kahumas. to destroy the new,
republic by means of their occult arts ana
mysterious conjurations. Her last hopes
are pinned upon this curious enterprise;
or course, If the kahumas were ,powerinl
enough to bewitch President Dole and his
colleagues, and to bedevil and destroy civ,
iized government in the islands, they would
find no difficulty afterward in conJurlng
monarchy back into power. and establish
ing Liliuokalani again upon her throne
We hardly think the scheme will succeed.
This interesting lady has already had the
benefit OF u hoodoo much more practical
aud efficient than anything the kahumas
can devise. She has had Grover Cleveland,
Walter O. Gresham, James II. Blount, and
Albert S. Willis all conjuring for her and
against the provisional government to the
best Of their respective abilities. That
hoodoo failed. conspicuously and ignoo'
minously. No lesser hoodoo is likely to do
Mrs. Dominis any good.

not checked, to culminate evontu-

THE SUCCESS Of the Lexow investiga-
ton in New York is everywhere at
tested by its quickening effect upon the
public couscienCs The average Amer.
lean citizen does not relish the role Of
public prosecutor, and assumes it only
when impelled to do so by weghty
considerations of duty. Behind this
reluctance much official dersliction
masks its iniquitous practices, and
grows bold in much wrong doing. 1t
ia as certain as fate, however, that
sooner or later these vicious official
habits will exceed tho limit of tolerance
and when this time comes the public
invariably hears something drop. Such
time has come, in New York city
and the thud of crumblng regulations
is already familiar noise. New York,
however, is not the only city wherein
vice buys immunity from prosecution ;
and official corruption enrlches itself
to the peoples expense. Tho moral ef.
feet Of the Lexow Investigation will be
Far reaching; the time is auspicious for
general cleansing Of our polluted sys-

THE PHILADELPHIA Times correctly
opines that the chief significance of re-

furnished to every crime known to the
law, providing the criminals were will.
ing to pay enough for the protection.
The brothels, gamblers. Illicit saloon
keepers and greenlgoods,swindlors have
been heard from. 1t will not be y
cause for surprise If bank burglars, safe
crackers, forgsrs and even murderers
turn up before the committee with
tales of purchased immunity. The po-
lice captain who will accept $500 as an
initiation and $50 per month as the
price of tolerating disorderly gamb-
ling house will hardly hesitate to fur
nish protection to burglar who will
divide his Stealings with him. Re-

that he had signally failed to fulfill
