The mishap which has befaen the amateur
Arctic explorers who went out on the Miranda
from Brooklyn, while deplorable enough In some
respects Is not serious misfortune to science.
II was only by a stretch Of the Imagination that
the expedition could be identified in any way

Tiger Hunting In New York.

Looking at it from a distance, Tam
many hall seems doomed. The signs
are manifold. It failed to hold it's vot-
ers to Maynard. It's boss, whose inso-
lence in the face of attack has been his
one admirable feature, has felt called
upon to rush to the newspaper offices
with a defense. Pulpits and newspa-
pers Of all party predictions are driv-
ing home blow upon blow, now for the
first time empowered by facts. The cor
rupt alliance between the police force
and Tammany for the protection of
criminals has been exposed. The Re
publican legislature. which is soon to
meet, will appoint an investigating COM
mittee, and last and strongest omen of
all, the only organization that ever
bent Tammany's neck, the Grace Dem
ocracy, is in the field again, backed as
never before by the independent voters
of New York city, Democrats and Re
pubiicans alike.
Great and enthusiastic meetings have
been held, and there is hope at last
that the feeling will not be laid before
an election. The men who have gone
into this battle are not afraid of Tam
many. They have clipped its claws be-
fore this and they may clip them again.
1t will be a contest worth watching,
and one whose event is bound to be
helpful to the cause of good government
everywhere in America. Chicago Post.

THEY SAY 1T is UNFAIR.
The Nicaragua Organization Plan
Thoroughly Criticized.

New York, Jan. 6.-Frederick H
Hatch, c. Amory Stevens and Wilbur
F. Herbert, jr., the preliminary COM
mittee of the Nicaragua Canal Con-
struction company, organized for the
purpose of obtaining united action on
reorganization, have issued a strong
protest against the plan of organiza-
ton recently submitted, of which the
most conspicuous features are the en-
tire absence Of any definite statement
OF assets and the value or actual con-
dition Of the company, and the exorbit-
ant assessments demanded to keep the
company alive until some further plan
is devised, which further plan would
probably be an appeal to the United
States government. It recites the ex-
traordinary request to put the prop
erty in the hands of a committee ap-
pointed by the holders of a few thous-
and shares, who, by the terms of agree
ment, are relieved from any response
bility, except for the grossest malad-
ministration, and who, in the main, are
those under whose management the
property reached the hands of a re-
ceiver. The preliminary committee
submits that reorganization should be
to the benefit of all stockholders. The
plan Of reorganization or adjustment
is being prepared, which viii be fuller,
franker, and more equitable than the
one they now are asked to assent to,
and in a short time this will be SUBJ
mitted to the stockholders, and they
will be invited to join in the appoint
lleat of committee, composed of men
of national reputation, strict integrity
and ability to reorganize the company
Or adjust its affairs in the best in
terests Of all the stockholders.

/" Our friend, said Lincoln to the
Jury, is not responsible altogether for
the very remarkable argument with
which he has afflicted you. Our friend
is all right in a conversation, and he
may even examine a witness fairly
well. But the moment he embarks on
la set speech his mind becomes pecu-
liarly affected In fact, its operations
while our friend is speaking seem SO
very much retarded they might almost
be said to have ceased. In this respect
he reminds me Of a steamboat l knew
many years ago, and which busted it
self in the Ohio river. This putting
little steamboat was OF unusual, not to
say of illogical construction. 1t had a

the college authorities intended putting
unusual restrictions on the game, but
from all accounts they have decided
not to interfere at all. Examination
has proved that the members of the
victorious foot ball team stand quite as
well in the class room as non-play wing

Blake are high graders while Tren-
chard, Drawn, Wheeler and King stand

ments of the critics was that devotion
to athletics checked the intellectual
progress of the athletes, this ought to
go in as pretty good evidence to the
fathers of the land, who are the judges

simultaneously with this announce
ment comes another one to the effect
that the movement for the modification
of the rules of the game is making good
progress. 1t will probably result in

THE LOCOMOTIVE WHISTLE.
A Disastrous smashup Led to Its In
VentfOn.


| When locomotives were first built and
began to trundle their small loads I'D
and down the newly and rudely con-
structed railways of England, the coun-
try roads were for the most mart
crossed at grade and the engine driver
had no way of giving warning of his
approach except by blowing a tin horn.
This horn, as may be imagined. was
far from being a sufficient warning.
One day in the year 1888, a farmer of
Thornton was crossing the railway
tracks on one of the country roads with
g. great load of eggs and butter Just
as he came out upon the track train
approached. The engine man blew his
tin horn Justify. but the farmer did not
hear it. Eight dozen eggs and fifty
pounds of butter were smashed into an
indistinguishable, unpleasant mass and
mingled with the kindling wood to
which the wagon was reduced. The
railway company had to pay the far
mer the value of his fifty pounds of
butter, his $50 eggs, his horse and his
wagon.
1t was regarded as a. very serious
matter. and straightway a director of
the company, AShlen Bagster by name
went to Alton Grange, where George
Stephenson lived. to see if he could not
invent something that would give a
warning more likely to be heard Ste
phenSon went to work and the next
day had a. contrivance which, when
attached to the engine boiler, and the
steam turned on, gave out shrill, dis
cordant sound. The railway directors,
greatly delighted, ordered similar con-
trivances attached to all the locomo-
tives, and from that day to this the
voice of the locomotive whistle has
never been Silent.-Cardiff Mail.

ARE Suicides INSANE.
Here is Good Authority for the Be-
lief That Usually They Are Not.

The verdict returned by the jury as
the result of the inquest on Mr.. Lom-
bard John Newman Tanner, L. r. c.
P. and Z. Ed, who was found dead in
his bedroom at hotel in Fleet street,
opens up once more the question of the
justifability of verdicts of suicides
during temporary insanity" in the alb
sence of any evidence of insanity.
Both jurymen and judges are as eager
to admit a plea of insanity when a man
makes away with himself as they are
unwilling to do so when he takes the
life of another.
The legal fiction-for in many cases
| it is nothing else-is now mere for
mula" which has outlived the purpose
it was meant to serve. A felo de Sc is
no longer buried at crossroads with a
stake through his heart. nor does sui
eide entail any consequences on the
survivors of a kind rendering any legal
subterfuge desirable in their interests.
Is not the supposed charity to the dead
man, in assuming that he was insane
because he destroyed himself, much
more than counterbalanced by the in
justice done to his relatives by brand
ing the family with an undeserved
social stigma?
~s1Sl oCiA III HIS SIcdL WOIk, Ii Dull
cidio." says that in only about one
third of all cases of suicide are the
perpetrators of the rash act insane,
and DR.. Wynn Wescott states that in
only 20 per cent. of the cases of sui
eide which have come before him as
coroner had the deceased showed signs
of mental unsoundness. In the case
of Mr.. Tanner the facts showed clear
ly that the suicide was deliberate, and
there was not the slightest evidence of
insanity.
DR.. Tanner, NJ. p, with whom all
will sympathize in the affection that
has befallen him, stated at the inquest
that his brother took his own life
calmly, conscientiously and accord
ing to his lights and charity as well
as justice may fairly be satisfied with
this pronouncement. 1t would be go
ing outside our province to discuss the
ethical aspects of self-murder. All that
we are concerned with here is to urge.
as we have done before. that for a.
jury to return a verdict imputing in
sanity to man without any evidence
beyond the bare fact of suicide is an
unworthy evasion.-British Medical
Journal.
