form of government is shown very
efectually in the present crisis.
That wkeaness lies in the subor
dination of the National to state
authorities in matters pertaining
to the preservation Of order, espe-
cially when the disorder assumes
National or interstate proportions.
State governments, particularly if
in the hands of weak and vacillat :
ing men, as is oflener the case
'han 9th erwise, are easily defed
by the mob. The state militia is
made up of men al arge portion of
whom cannot be relied upon in
the service requil ed of them in
grave emergencies because they
are in sympathy with the men
they are expected to control or to
suppress. They have not the dis
cipline of the regular soldier, and
the militia officer is generally an
ornament rather than thing of
utility to society in times of trou-
BILE. There are very few excep-
tons to this general rule. On the
other hand the regular soldier,
under thorough discipline, offic
cred by men of military training
and soldierly feeling; backed by
the moral and physical support
and resources OF the Nation, has
no prejudides or feelings in the
matter, no fear of consequences to
his personal interests as n citizen:
his duty is plain-obedience of su-
periors who are entirely untram-
meled by personal and local con.
sideratons and therefore capable
of acting disinterestedly MS well rs
effectively. The scenes reported
as occurring at Chicago show mos,
emphatically the need of tn
strong arm of the General Govern.

only after perhapsincalculable anc
irreparable damage to life anC
property has resulted; and the acts
of savagery repoted from places

gument. However much we may
boast of our civilization, our h:e
tory, MS well as that of every othe,
modern nation, shows that il is Q
very fragile veneer, easily broker
when mems passions are aroused
and that then the lapse to Temp
rary barbarism is both certain anC
swift. The farce Of self-govern
ment, the chimera of ideals
statesmen, then becomes hidecusly
apparent. 1t becomes apparent tc
the least verted in the science o

was lost in the same way, and starvation stared the men in the face.
 The next night Austin Gideon, a sailor, died, but the men were too weak to bury the body, It was dragged few feet away from the hut, and there it remained. That was on Monday night. From then until the next Thursday the 10 unfortu- nate sailors battled with starvation until all hope of leaving the island alive desert- ed them. One after another they crawled into the hut to die, and lay there for hours
 William Andrews, one of the men, tells how they lived: "One of the men near the door moved, and presently he went out I was too weak to pay any more attention to him, and dozed off, praying for death How long l was that way do not know, but for long time fancied I could smell boiling meat. It was perhaps half an hour before I could bring my senses to realize 1t, and when did1 rose up, and there in the center of the hut was a smodering hre+ with the kettle over it. Inside was a piece of meat. covered with slowly bub- bling water In an instant had grabbed 1t from the pot and was soon devouring a shred of it that I had torn from the half cooked piece Others grabbed the meat from my hands and soon we were all eagerly devouring the morsel. None of us asked where 1t came from None of us cared After the meal life came back to us and we dared not for awhile think of where cur meat came from though we all knew
 II got up and walked down to the lit tic gully in which Gideon's body had been rolled Both legs were missing Icrawled back into the hut and slept again. Pres ently l got up and gathered more drift wood while the renewed strength lasted. The next day more of Gideon's body was missing and again we all had meal. Horrible and all that it was, the food was refreshing, and we all began again to look for rescue Nine days the cap tain had been away, and all hope had been given up of ever seeing him again. Once more visit was made to the grave of the dead Portuguese and another part of the body of our late shipmate was boil ing in the pot when the captain voice was heard outside. It was joyful sound, and with him were several of the crew of the Bear, with provisions for us"

MRS. GIBERT.

ting less than half of the S15, ,000 year which he had been in the habit of receiv- ing, cut her down to S3,000 year, then to $2,700, and in January, 1891, stopped sending money and told his wife that he ''would starve her out"
 She began proceedings for absolute di. vorce in New York, but withdrew her complaint when she found the law only recognizes one ground for absolute divorce. She could not set up that ground. So the matter went along until 1893, the law yers all the time seeking to settle the mat ter out of court, but failing Then Mrs. Gilbert brought suit for separation. This suit was tried last year and widely report ed in the newspapers. Mrs. Gilbert won it, and Gilbert was ordered to pay $3, 133 0 year alimony.
 In this trial Mrs. Gilbert based her com plaint on the ''beastly habits, nonsupport and abandonment of her husband, and he answered with charge of infdelity, nam- ing Santa Maria as correspondent.
 This charge resulted in the unusual spec tacle of Santa Maria and his friend, Ma son Carns, two typical Parisians, volun tarily coming over here to offer their testi mony in protecting the wife's good name. But they had no opportunity to testify, for Gibert's lawyers surprised the counsel for Mrs. Gilbert by putting in no defense to her allegations, except the testimony of Gilbert himself as to his reduced income. The charges of her infidelity, harped upon by innuendo throughout her cross exami- nation, were not touched upon in the de- fcnse. This action resulted in gaining public sympathy for Mrs. Gilbert, the pre- vailing opinion being that Gilbert had made charge against his wife he had no proof of Mrs. Gilbert had stack of affi- davits from Paris to prove that her hus- band bribed witnesses to testify against her.
 Santa Maria was ''as mad as March hare" when he learned that tho case had taken; such a course that he would not get chance to refute Gibert's accusation But if he could not testify in. court he. could talk through the newspapers and talk he did. He told all he knew of the Giberts, giving the wife unlimited praise and calling the husband a coward and a cur.
 In October, 1S93 Santa Maria sailed for France, to take up his duties as an at tache of the Colombian legation in Paris Even then he was bristling for an oppor- tunity to meet Gilbert. Gilbert did not start for Paris until February of this year. When he landed, he flatly announced that he would fight duel with Santa Maria Since then there has been lot of talk, but it looked as though it would lend in smoke.
 Mrs. Gilbert is in France. The report Of tho duel was surprise to her, as she never hesitated to say she did not believe her husband had the courage of a mouse

AN INTERNATIONAL SCANDAL.
The Gibert-Santa Maria Case Said to Have
 CulIninated In n Duel.

The Gibert-Santa Maria Case Said to Have
 Culminated In Duel.
 The Gilbert scandal, which, if cabled re- ports be true, culminated in duel in Paris the other day between Andinet Gi- bert of New York and Manuel del Pillar de Santa Maria of South America, has furnished the gossips of Paris and New York, in the social circles of which cities all tho parties concerned are well known, with subject for talk for more than three years It has been as full of situations and developments as French novel, so it has never grown wearisolne. aa
 The Giberts are one of the oldest, most highly respected families in New York Audinet's father was Frederick Gilbert, once president of the New York club and a society leader. Audinet married Annie T. Reed, daughter of Edgar Reed, an old New York business man. in 1878.
 Young Gilbert had an income of about l5,000 year and knew how to enjoy it. Ho never worked; but, with his wife, he led butterfly existence in New York until 1881. Then they went to Paris and there dreamed away two or three years. Their married life up to 1884 was, according to the stories each has told, asymphony of hy- meneal bliss. Then tho green eyed monster, jealousy, began to play part.
 At the race track i'll Paris Mrs Gilbert met Santa Maria, tho South American senor with the long name. He called on her frequently, and Mrs. Gilbert admitted that he was really very kind and devoted, but declared, and her husband failed in his utmost efforts to prove otherwise, that the relations bptwpen hpr and Santa AJnria were of the most proper character.
 However, in 1885, while MT. and Mrs. Gilbert were returning to this country, the husband accused tho wife of infdcity and named Santa Maria as her companion. She denied it. and they had terrible quarrel She told him he had such beastly habits he was making her life a burden. He said she must give up all her male ac- quaintances, including the hated Santa Maria She agreed she would do so if he would reform.
 They finally agreed that it would be best to separate. He made written agree ment to allow her $4, 800 year for life. In spite of this they lived together at the Hoffman House after reaching New York.
 When they returned to Paris, Gilbert took separate apartments, but visited his wifo occasionally. His calls grew less ire quent, and then he began to hedge on his money allowance to his wife. They had no children, and annnraiino tn tho wife'

Aft CT d rest of q few days Captain Huntcy decided to mako another start for Unalas- ka for relief. .s He picked out three of the strongest men and made a start Adverse winds drove him back after he had been away day The cold was becoming intense, and along with hunger and cold and wet weather the men were Suffering from frost bitten fingers and feet. The sharp rocks had worn out their shoes, and trip down to the beach from the hut would start scores of sores hlecding in the mems swollen feet.
 Daily their sufferings grew in intensity, and before the captain made second at tempt to leave the island two more men Joseph Pena and Joseph Bnrreto--had been laid away under pile of cold rocks. Again Captain Hnntley and his small crew were forced to return. A third trial proved unsucccssful but on tho fourth at tempt, after being on the island for 25 days he and his crew of three men got away with {, fair wind, and the 10 others watched tho small sail lowering on the horizon with mingled hopes and fears.

CANNIBALIsM OR STARVATION.

The Awful Alternative That Confronted the
 Crew of the James Allen-zTen Men on a
 Barren Island-Tales of Horror Told by
 the Survivors.
 Fourteen surviving members of the whaler James Allen, which was ship wrecked in Boring sea few months ago, recently arrived in San Francisco and re- lated tales of hardships and suffering such as seldom fall to the lot of men, even of those who brave the dangers of the deep and the rigors of the frozen north.
 The ship foundefed in the night and the crew, numbering 49 men, took to the live boats The boats became separated in the darkness, and in the morning two had disappeared One of these was picked up by the steamer Dora about a month later, and the seven men who manned it were all alive. The other has never been heard from. The remaining boats, with Cap tain Huntley and 25 men, landed on bar ren rock, one of the Aleutian islands. On the morning of the third day a start was made for Unalaska in tho boats Four days later, after eight of the 26 men had perished from cold and privation, a landing was made at Unmak island, and all hands suffered terribly through tho night from cold and hunger. oa
 When daylight came, it was found that Harry Taylor, another of the unfortu- mates, had ended his misery, and couple of the men scoopcd a hole in the beach and buried the body. While digging the grave a few mussels were found and soon all hands were hunting for the shellfish
 A short distance back from the shore they found small dugout and that the starving and shiyering men soon occupied. One of the sailors found some matches that had not been spoiled by the water, and they soon had fire. Water soaked driftwood was all the fuel they could get, and it made poor fire.
