TOO MANY unpvnIsRED CRIMES.
Cnrbondnle Herald.

CdTDONudte IeTutu
Since the organization Of this county
every term of court has had its quota OF
murderers. Some of the crimes with
which they were charged were of tho most
heinous nature--cold blooded, premedi.
tated murders. Never Yet has man been
convicted in our courts of murder in the
first degree. There have, moreover, been
many crimes OF this nature,sfor which no
one was ever made to answer.
1t is but few days since man named
Medala committed u horrible murder at
Old Forge. Nledaa is still at large and
the sheriff seems to be powerless to cap
ture him. The sheriff wants the county
commissioners TO offer reward for the
capture. This may induce the fellow
countrymen OF Medala to surrender him
to the authorities. There is parallel in
the case Of Murdock, who committed a
murder two months ago and is still ut large.
What is the lesson OF these casesI The
sheriff has not the means necessary for en-
forcing the laws. He ought not to be
| obliged to wait for the action OF the county
| commissioners. He sh ould have In his
hands all the means for immediate action
and should use them with vigor. Unless
there is n change, and the lawless clements
are speedily brought to II sense OF the value
Of life, we may expect that the danger Will
spread to the circles whose seeming secur-
ity now make them indifferent to the state
| of affeirs

that the authorities of Scran-
ton, municipal and county, should
hestir themselves to secure better all
round enforcement of this law; that the
constables of our courts should be made
to toe the mark or get expeditlously
fired" from Office and landed securely
in Jail; that murderers and cut-throats
and stabbers should not be permitted
to ply their nefarious practices among
certain elements in our population al
most secure from apprehension and ar
rest. These things not only make in
teresting reading, but they also make
good reading, and we are proud Of the
opportunity to put them before the
public.
In ten years decided change has
come over the spirit of the American
peoples dreams. They are beginning
to awaken to the fact that If affairs OF
public concern do not progress to their
liking, the remedy aud the responsible
ity for the remedy's application lie
within their own reach; and they have
none but themselves to blame for any
hardness in the cure The knaves of
politics have had their fat pickings and
their sneers; it is the honest common
people Of the country who are now
progressing towards the front. This
movement toward better local govern
ment may have spasmodic surface
manifestations but it is itself no spasm
and no bubble. It is the inevitable and
irresistible logic of long decades Of mis-
rule and it will no. reach equilibrium
short Of q wholesale revolution in the
morale Of public government.

heard good story on Col. Breckenridge
from = Kentucky congressman last night,
writes W. E. Curtis to the Chicago Record.
1t seems that the defendant in the pending
breach Of promise case has a family of grown
up children, three girls and two boys One
of the latter 10 partner in his fathers law
practice and has been active in taking depo-
sitions for the defense. He has sowed good
many wild oats, but not SO many as his
brother, who IL described as about the widest
and most reckless youth in the blue grass re-
gion. Notlong before the present scandal
broke out young Breckenridge got Into des-
perate row down in Kentucky, In which sew
eral men were cut and shot and himself badly
used up. Col. Breckenridge when he was In
Warrington heard the news and telegraphed
at once to Col. Shelby, his partner: Have
Bob kept In Jail until l return"
The instructions were carried out: A. soon
az Col. Breckenridge could leave Warrington
he went to Lexington, made Bob pack up his
things and took him TO Philadelphia, where
he put him on board sailing weasel that was
bound for San Francisco around the Horn,
with instructions to the captain TO discipline
him II necessary. He hoped the voyage
would do the young man good. But the very
day the ship sailed the Pollard scandal was
published in the newspapers. OF course Bob
heard OF II and read all the disgusting details.
Whcreupon he went to the telegraph office
and wired Col. Shelby at Lexington: .Havc

The consideration shown by the Pennsyl-
vania Railway Company for its employees vies
most favorably with that OF the English COM
panies. In cases where the employees are not
equal TO the standard they are generally given
one or two more trials, and then II 1t has been
thoroughly demonstrated that their sight Is
too bad to justify them In being kept in train
service they arc given employment In some
other capacity. They are even permitted to
rectify the impaired vision by the use OF
spcctncles. In testing sight the employe is
supposed to stand fifteen feet from n test
card and told to read some OF the smaller let
tiers, it being obvious tba. II he could do 1t
there would be no trouble with the large let
tiers. Either eye is tested by shutting OF the
sight of the other. He is next given II book
OF fine print to read at a certain distance.
One or two other tests for near-sightedness
are applied, aud then he Is tried for his abil-
fly to distinguish between colors. A stick,
to which ia attached couple OF dozen strands
of various yarns or zephyrs is laid on the ta-
BILE. From box Is taken bunch of green
yarn, and the man is asked to designate its
color. He then is told to pick out ten strands,
each having a similar shade. This is re-
peated with two other colors and the exam
ination is complete.

A LowLv SIREN OF THE SEA.
A Motherly DugonE. Ages Have Made

A Motherly Dugong. Ages Have Made
Her Be.utlful Mermaid.
The latest addition to the NAM
malta department OF the Academy OF
Science. is real mermaid. The
strange specimen arrived from
Australia q few weeks ago and is
now in the hands of the taxidermist.
says the San Francisco Examiner.
The process OF curing and stuf,ng
will be completed in few days.
Then the public may visit the acad-
emy and take q good square look at
an honest siren OF the seas
Although the animal is the verita-
bio original OF the mermaid. her sci
entific name is not SO supple on the
lips as the soft. pet names given to
the marine sirens OF mythology. She
is known as the dugong, and while
she Is moro or less interesting to the
naturalist. as being the inoffensive
cause OF the mermaid myths. she is
still more interesting to him because
she is dugong. For the dugong has
been battling for existence in tho
marine world for centuries and is
about to lose her identity among her
acquatic neighbors of the Southern
deep The dugong is rapidly becom-
ing extinct. A specimen is seldom
captured, and the one in possession
OF the academy is regarded AS an eN-
traordinary prize.
Every nation under the sun has
contributed to the mythical evolution
of the dugong from mem ber OF the
manatee family of mammalia to
beautiful sea siren with languorous
eyes and flowing hair, who woos
foolish mariners to destruction, and
the folklore of every nation has
different idea of the appearance Of
the mermaid. Thecrafty Chinese and
Japanese have even manufactured
hideous semblancc to woman fish.
and great painters have deigned to
commit to canvas their conception OF
the siren. The unattracrive. mother
ly dugong was the cause of it all.
The dugong forms the connecting
link between the real whale and the
seals and walruses. Like the whale
the animal has no hind feet. but
powerful horizontal tail. Its anterior
are more fexibly jointed
Than those of the whale. and this is
: distinguished characteristic be-
tween the two animals The dugong
i said TO have attained a length OF
twenty feet but the usual length is
from eigh; TO twelve feet The
specimen at the academy is nearly
seven feet long. and has oeen very
well preserved.
In appearance the animal resem-
bies the manatee or sea COW. It's
upper lip is large, thick and fieshy,
and its snout is like the trunk of an
elephant cut short across.
When the dugong is nursing its
young its breasts are enlarged so as
to be almost human in their aspect
The nursing PROGRESS is carried on
by the mother above water. The
baby dugong is pressed against the
exposed breast with one of mamma
dugong's fiippers. and in this position
the animal -swims horizontally
through the water. using her re-
naming hipper to propel herself
along. 1t is this singular character
istic of the animal that has given
rise to the ia BILE of the mermaid.
