NOT ONLY THE CARMEN

Not alone to blame were the conductor
and motorman Il the car which plunged
more than score of human beings to death
on account of an open drawbridge in a
Cleveland viaduct Saturday night. Illu-
minated signals are often mistaken even
If properly set. Especially in the foggy
evening or morning atmosphere of a city
they may easily fail to give proper warn
ing.
Had the Cleveland authorities taken the
simple and inexpensive precaution to place
an electric bell at each end of the viaduct,
distant from the dra wbridge, to ring auto
matically from the time the drawhridce
began to open until it was tightly closed,
such accidents could not happen. Moreover,
had the gates been stronger. they would
have stopped the car, as the motorman had
thrown off the current and applied the
brakes.
Municipalities are themselves the prime
criminals in connection with nearly all dis
asters occurring in their midst, us they
have the power either to erect proper safe
guards themselves and make negligent cor
porations pay for them, or to compel cor
porations, which, like the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Company, seem to have no
regard for the safety of the public, to place
watchmen, or signals, or both, wherever
they are necessary.
One is almost tempted occasionally TO be-
lieve that municipal authorities are as care
less as corporations in regard TO sacrificing
human life, and even that they are in league
with the corporations.

few days ago after exciting the reverence
of many persons claiming 10 be cured OF all
sorts of diseases, is not ira nslate to para

but is merely resting in seclusion before
coming To Chicago November 80 to cure the
lame. halt. and blind of the Western me-
tropolis.
The letter received by a Chicago friend,
which is referred 10 in a dispatch to The
Times, apparently bore terrestrial post
mark. or something more would have been
said in regard 10 it.
Mr.. schiatter must have great confidence
in his power TO try himself on Chicago. The
people there are so set in their afflictions
that il has been suspected even a miracle
would not affect them. Again, the wicked
Chicago newspapers are inclined 10 scoff
at all that is not within ordinary limits of
explanation as being the offspring of i'm
posture, and Schlatter win have to be well
up in his work if they fail to turn him
down."

''divine healers'' who have sprung up from

gotten. No one except Zola appears 10 have
watched the after lives of persons claimed
10 be miraculously cured, and his verdict
was that after season of excitement
which seemed TO drive their afflictiops
away. disease did IFS inevitable work.
II would bc well to track some of those
healed by Schlatter and all others of his
kind back Ia the humdrum life of their sick
rooms and await the passage of a month

AMONG The UNIVERSITIES

Of Ancient and Modern Drama.
Phllodemic SOciety's Debate-Dr. RAN
kin's Purchase of Books-Hon.
c. d. wright's Lecture.

The tendency OF popular thought and de-
velopmcnt is well illustrated in the fact
that all the literature classes of our four
great universities are engaged In an ex-
haustive study OF the modern drama. Some
students are pursuing this branch from its
fountainhead, and are now engaged on the
old Greek masters and their methods of
construction. Other classes are into mid
dle-agc drama, while at the Catholic
University Shakespeare is the authority,
The end and aim OF all the histrionic studies.
A general idea prevails that the drama
is like Topsy. iii simply growed." In one
sense this is true. The drama is an evOlu-
tion. 1t is the exponent of its age. Shake
speare wrote his brilliant plays because
the time and the people dema nded it.
According to our popular lecturers. If the
great Shakespeare lived to-day he would
be a novelist.
The drama is no longer so profound, be-
cause the taste Of the people is more given
to reading. They NO longer patronize the
theater as school In which the highest
thought and aspirations should be aroused.
They want amusement now; therefore the
stage is more spectacular than philo-
sophie. The fact that the drama is en-
crossing the thought Of students would
seem to foreshadOw an era in which o
larger literary interest will be injected
into the players art.

MARYLAND NOW.

On the theory that one good hanging
deserves another the people OF Freder-
lex, Maryland, for a second time within
few years, were yesterday too impa-
tient TO wait upon the la " to dea! with
one Of a certain class Of criminals. An
offender of last Saturday, arrested Satur-
day night, was hanged to the same tree
Sunday morning to which similar Offend
er had been strung up few years ago.
The Frederick way may be less horrible
than the Texas way. Doubtless the Chris
tian citizens OF that pretty city congratu-
late themselves that they were exceedingly
merciful in hanging the wretch and in
putting a bullet through his heart the
moment he dangied in the air, TO end his
misery as quickly as possible. They even
permitted salvation Army girl to pray
for him, which was quite gracious, in
view of the fact that none OF the clergy
men of the place thought it worth while
to sacrifice a warm bed to ask that mercy
for the criminal in the next world which
Frederick could not extend to him in
this.
ktSIEUicSS Oh All luesc DspTCHul aspects
the act of The MaryIa nj community is just
as much without the pale OF law and
civilization as if the creature lad been
mutiiatcd and then roasted to death over
a slow fire, after the Texas fashion. Such
acts begct retaliation. They provoke law
lessness. 1t might almost be parionably
said that they deserve lawless revenge, as
the law never seems equal to the punish
ment of any OF these self-constituted hang
men.
In strong contrast to the conduct of the
Frederick people The Times is glad to re-
fer again to the orderly and lawful man
Der in which the authorities of A lex
andria county dealt with similar case a

sentenced TO speedy death, all within

are polished off by these advanced ones
leaves Col. Robert G. Ingersoll in the back

The spirit of the whole work may be COM
pretended from this Introduction by Mrs.
Stanton:
''Bible historians claim special inspira-
ton for the Old and New Testaments con
same events, of miracles opposed to an
known laws. OF customs that degrade the
female sex of all human and animal life,
stated in most Questionable language that
could not be read in a promiscuous assem-

God inspired the NJ osaic code. or told the
historians what they say He did about
woman. for all the religions on the face Of
man accepts the position that they assign
her. her eremancipation isimpossible."
The volume is made up of the most
caustic criticism of various passa ges re-
ferring TO women, which may be summed
up in this sweeping conclusion:
This utter contempt for all the decen-
cies OF life. and all the natural personal
rights OF women as set forth in these pages,
should destroy in the minds of women. at
least, all authority to superhuman origin,
and stamp the Pentateuch. at least. as

cite universal attention, but 1t will doubt
less take its place finally among the mass
