Editor Dana's Essay ON First Love.

Probably the majority of men 10
not marry their first loves. The fist
love of a man frequently, if not usu-
ally captures his heart before he has
reached full maturity. Oftentimes
she is older than he-a woman, while
he is barely beyond boyhood; and
sis youthful passion may be the
most purely ideal that ever masters
him, and the most enthralling. 1t
may be love simply, with no thought
of marriage and possession, the wor-
ship as of a goddess. 1t passes away,
and there succeeds in due time the
natural and healthy and masculine
sentiment which leads a man to WOO
a woman as a bride. The first served
as an educator for the second; the
fanciful made way for the real
New York Sun.

Levity Out or Place.

One Of the national vices of the
-.mertcan people is levity--the un.
healthy quality which. in contradis-
tin tiOn to honest and wholesome
gaiety or humor. turns all serious
the Qualities OF earnestness and Of
respect for real distinction.
a person reading the debates in
Congress or in the state Legislatures
must sometimes wonder whether the
most influential debater Is not he
who can make his fellow members
laugh the Oftenest with humorous
trivialities.
In recent debate, a member, who
Vas arguing against the appo mt
ment OF certain federal officers from
OF er States than those in which
they were to serve. said that he op-
posed such appointments because he
was fond OF watermelons,. and he was
afraid that if "any more men were
sent West from Georgia there would
not be enough able bodied persons
left there to harvest the watermelon
op"
At this the house laughed. Itmay
nave served we'll enough as a Joke,
but it was hardly to be accepted as
an argument in favor of the point
which he was urging.
Many debates consist largely OF
such jokes, banded back and forth
between members There is a gen.
eral avor of cynicism and insincerity
about such contests. not Of real wit,
but of idle levity-as II the mem bers
did not choose to take the public
business as a serious matter at all
Such tone on the part Of oul
legislative debates Is a most unfor-
nate matter. The good citizen Is
not cynical dbut the public business
He knows that seriousness, sincerity
and earnestness are the prime virtues
of the public servant.

Still . Baby at Eighteen.

Mary Frances, the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Henry, Of 1912 Aspen street,
Philadelphia, was born May Is, 1876.
The child at birth was an unusually
healthy and we'll developed baby, says
the Inquirer, and for the first eight
months she showed signs Of the usual
development in children. There was
no lack Of growth. no lack of appetite
or anything else that could for a mo-
ment make either the parents or any
medical attendant doubt that the
child was not natural and normal in
all respe IS Indeed, in health and
appetite the little one has never
given anv trouble. AT the age OF &
months development, both mental
and physical. stopped altogether. anil
the only difference to-day in the
young woman, now over Is ears old.
and the baby or months is that the
head may be little larger and lips a
little more prominent She still sub.
sists upon baby food. No stronger
sound proceeds from the lips of the
lS-year-old child to-day than when
she was s months old. She has never
made any attempt to get on her feet,
and her arms and legs are just as
small and d IMPLIED as when, in baby
hood. she prattled on her mothers
knee.
The first intimation that tn,
family ever had of the child's lack OF
development was when it was noticed
that the little one made no attempt
to talk or even to creep or walk.
The mother ON observing this at once
cOnsulte3 several doctors, all Of whom
made examinations but failed to dis
Germ anything promo lnced in lack o.
development. Some OF them stated
that the little one would, in a few
years. or probably few months, re,
gain what the mother thought was q
lack of energy. Time went on and
yet nc improvement took place.
Hospitals and doctors innumerable
were visited and consulted, bat all to
no avail In giving the child renewed
vigor.
Everything possible has been done
to make the little one comfortable.
and she seems as happy and bright
to-day as the ordinar; bale. She
moves but little, even when placed
outside the house. She is happy
when she hears others singing or
playing around her and will then hum
to herself. Ine of her eyes has
partially given way, and the chi u
shows a desire to use the left eye
more than the right one.

GENERAL NEGLEY ARRESTED.
He Denies the Allegation of Mr.. King, o.

He Denies tho Allegation of Mr.. King, of
the King Locomotive Works.
NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-General James 8.
Neglcy was arrested on warrant In a
civil suit brought by Albert H. King, pres
ident Of the King Locomotive works. and
the general kept out of Ludlow street jail
by securing bail to the amount of 81 900.
The allegations made by Mr.. King on
which the warrant was secured were that
General Negley had represented to Mr.
King In 1890 that he could float certain
bonds of Mr.. Kings company through the
Mexican Trust and Investment company
In which the general said he was interested.
The amount of the bonds of Mr. Kings
company to be placed by General Negley is
alleged to have been 100000 To further
the generals success in placing the bonds
Mr.. King said he gave him all the inside
information about the company, and fur
ther advanced the 60 900 for his expensesi in
Paris, where he said his presence was nec-
essary in order to consummate the deal.
General Negley said in an interview:
"The allegation of A. H. King is as base
less, fictitious and imaginary as this K.ng
locomotive works never had personal
transaction with King. The business mat
ter was with the company, of which was
an officer and small stockholder, and the
facts all appear on the written agreement
between the company and himself. Tho
reason is apparent why he has not sought
litigation with the company, as he holds n
large amount of stock, for which the COM
pany received no consideration.

ARBITRATOR CLEVELAND.
His Decision VIII Change the Map Of South
.. America.

America.
WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-President Cleve-
land is expected to give his decision as ar
bitrator of the important boundary dis
pute between Brazil and Argentine Re-
public soon after his return from Buzz
yards Bay. Baron io-Bronco, special
envoy from Brazil, accompanied by
large suite Is now here awaiting the de-
cision. The case has been in Mr. Cleve-
lands hands for eight months, and as tho
treaty Of arbitration provides that the de-
cision must be made within year, 1t is
being looked for almost any day. The
time for the decision expires Feb. 10 next,
but as Mr. Cleveland will be busy with
congress and public affairs soon after his
return he is expected to dispose Of the ar
bitration question before taking up do
nestle affairs.
Mr.. Cleveland's decision will settle
whether the eastern boundary of Argen-
tine remains as 1t is usually given in the
maps or is extended by wedge shaped
projection almost to the Atlantic coast. III
Argentine gains this strip it will have
considerable effect on southern Brazil, as
1t will almost sever the great state of Rio
Grande do Sui from upper Brazil, the re-
naming connection being very narrow
isthmus compared with the general width
OF Brazil On the other hand 1t will give
Argentine narrow arm of land stretching
from the north to within forty miles of the
Atlantic. The disputed territory is very
valuable for Its mineral and agricultural
resources 1t embraces II ,S32 square miles,
with towns and villages having popula-
tion of ., ,793, most of them Brazilians.
Mr. Cleveland's arbitration is the result
Of treaty made when Dom Pedro was
emperor of Brazil. 1t has taken since then
to make the surveys and present the case,
and Mr.. Cloveland's decision will close the
long controversy. He is obliged under the
treaty to give all the disputed territory to
Brazil or to Argentine, so that there is no
opportunity for a compromise which will
satisfy both parties.

Catholics themselves were in q degree re-

pointing to tho tendency of many Catholic
priests, particularly those of foreign birth,
to discuss some public questions with re
liglous prejudice as one of the causes. He
denounced the association by declaring
that it was founded on unpatriotlc and
dishonorable principles.
