At 2 recent English we'd ling, whep
the Bridegroom was an admiral in the
navy, the bride had her train carried
by two little brothers in smart Faunt'

THE tenement house commission OF
New York is about to take up consecu-
lively the I4S tenement houses be-
longing to the Trinity church corpora
ton and either compel thorough
overhauling of these pestilence-breed-
ers, or else discipline the Trinity cor
poration. The church organization
realizes an annual income OF 5000, 900
from its houses and thus far has abso-
lutely refused to make any modern
Improvements in them. Tenants are
huddled together in many OF these
Trinity build ngs with little more at

stables. The aim has been to get as
much for as little as was possible.
The New York authorities propose z

De QUINCY once wrote an essay on
Murder considered as one of the fine
arts" but it cannot be said that in
either Of the two recent cases much
skill was shown by the murderers in
covering up their tracks. In the Chi
cago case the old device of boxing up
and sending away the body was re-
sorted to. In spite of the fact that it
has so often failed, it seems to have a
peculiar fascination for criminals. 1t
was tried in the Cronin case, upon
which great degree Of skill was
brought to bear, but the crime became
known; and so it has been in other
celebrated cases. The resources of
murderers in respect to their after ac-
ton are few and they are frequently
the means Of detection.

worse Miss Strutton, his former gov

st. Petersburg Miss Strutton, who
was an Englishwoman, loved Alexan-
der Romanoff as dearly as though he
had been her son. The emperor and
his two brothers attended the funeral,
following the hearse on foot from the
palace to the English cemetery, almost
two miles apart. His majesty and the
grand dukes had carried the coffin

If the failure to cheer the kaiser is
TO be made penal otTense the statute
should at least specify how many and
how loud the cheers must be and when
and whore they are TO be given. Nor
should it fail to fix a penalty for the
fellow who fires his hurrah at the
wrong time or place. In this effort
to regulate emotion by law the code
will never be complete without sec

THE criminal instinct is unerring,
and yet it may lead its possessor into
trouble. 1t was this instinct that in
duced Brooklyn burglar 10 accost
two Brooklyn men and request their
cooperation in neat little scheme OF
robbery. 1t was not the fault of the
instinct that the two men happened
to be policemen for the time being,
and therefore that they found it more
to their interest to run him in than to
join him in his foray. The moral
lesson derivable from this painful
story is that instinct, while unerring
in its limitations, has its limitations

There is strong effort being made tc
secure larger pay for American ambassa-
doris 1t deserves to succeed. This coun-
try is large enough, and rich enough to
maintain, in proper style the dignity and
prestige of its officials in foreign lands.
Viewed merely as national investment
we believe that an increase of expenditure
i'm this direction would be eminently wise.
At the present time the diplomatic officials
of some of the petty South American re-
publics, receive larger pay, and are able to
maintain their positions in better shape

American people believe in an economical
