HENRY WATTERsON.

Henry Watterson, statesman, ora
tor, Journalistic is something more than
comes under the ordinary definition
of those terms. Covering as he does
a limitless range of thought and ac-
ton in the field of politics and phil
anthropy, he has made himself and
his influence a prime factor in the
building up of a new South to take
the place of that which was torn
down in the ruthless advance of mod
ern ideas and a modern civilization.
He has recorded, not only with pen
and ink, but with the active force of
his personal life, the history of the
rebellion, secession, reconstruction
and regeneration of the South. He
knows it and loves it because it is
his. He has seen it baSking in the
sunshine of laZinesS and dropping
into a SenSuous decay under the evil
spell of an unnatural system of
servitude; he has seen it plunged
into the horrors of a civil war which
threatened its very existence; he
has seen it slowly recovering from
the rude shock Of defeat, and gath
ering its shattered energies for the
work of reorganization under a new
social and business system; he sees
it today, redeemed and radiant, the
garden of the universe, the center
Of the highest order of civilization,
thrilling with every impulse of pa
triotism, responsive to every call of
humanity and alive to every ad-
vance of science.
In the accomplishment of these
marvellous advances Watterson has
been the most prominent factor. He
has seen, perhaps, only what others
have seen, but he has had the
rugged courage, the will and the
ability to lead the Southern hosts
to a greater victory than they ever
achieved on the field of battle, where
they spilled such oceans of noble
blood in such an ignoble cause. He
led them, largely by the force of
his personal example, to abandon
their indolent habits and their alb
Surd pretenSionS to aristocracy, emu
lating the Democracy and adopting
the methods of the more prosperous
North.
Looking upon the reconstructed
South of today, glorying in the proud
results of her years of travail, and
contemplating his own part in her
miraculous passage through the dead
sea of rebellion, he might paraphrase
the words of another and without
offensive egotism say: '.All of which
l saw, most of which I was

THE SUICIDE MANIA.

The recent self-murder of British
army officer in Chicago has led to
renewal of the discussion upon the
question of suicide and the mental
and moral responsibility of the sui
eide. The case in point is remark
able, if the Chicago papers are to be
believed, from the very fact that
there was nothing remarkable about
1t. The man was in good health.
had ample money to supply all rea-
sonable wants and was afflicted, so
far as can be learned, with no do
nestle troubles. He was, by his own
ante-mortem statement, simply tired
OF living, and took his own life in
the most matter-of-fact way. lust
as he could take his own money or
any other personal possession. He
did not even deign to discuss the NOR
al aspect of the matter, but coolIy
assumed that, since no one else had
any claim upon him, he had a per-
feet right to end his life at any time
he chose.

craft would not rob banks or wreck
railroads except in a thoroughly
artistic and perfectly legal manner.
Therefore the smaller operator would
have to take the regular packet
lines" and the mode of pursuit
would not differ materially from
that now in vogue.
Criminals may be divided into two
general classes-p professional and oc-
casional or sporadic criminals. If
the identity Of the offender is un-
unknown, this must first be estab-
ished or appropriated by detect

then Swallowed" "roped'' or sweat
ed" as the peculiar character and
environment of each individual case
would seem to require, until the in
nocence of the man becomes mani
fest, or sufficient evidence secured to
warrant his arrest. This is real
detective work, and should not be
confounded with the pursuit and CAP
ture OF a known criminal, which is
more properly classified as .'poIice
duty"
When the identity of a criminal is
known Though he has succeeded in
escaping from the locality of the
crime unobserved, leaving his where
abouts matter of mere coniecture)
the officers are greatly assisted by
the knowledge that he is or he is not
a professional" If the former. his
habits, haunts and associates are
known and it is only a question of
time and effort to locate him; if the
latter, the case is often more per
picking because the man, from lack
OF experience, follows no established
precedent and is more cratic in his
Hight; but in his very excess of eau
. ton he can usually be depended upon
to blaze the way for the "sleepless
sleuth" and assist in his own APP
prehension.
Should air ships ever become a
Safe and popular method of travel,
it is not apparent that they would
offer the criminal any peculiar ad-
vantage which would not be equally
shared by the officer or detective in
pursuit. But, on the other hand. in
like manner as the steamship and the
railway, 1T is fair assumption that
the air ships would facilitate the
capture of fugitives. a.:

AIR CONJURING, INVENTION.

f. ID. Mervin, the WeIi-KnOwn
Patent Attorney.
From the time of Darius Green to
the present, the curious and the
scientific have studied and guessed
and wondered whether or not we
clumsy human creatures are yet to
initiate the birds; whether it will
really be fact instead of the widest
Imagination and fiction that we are
not to be compelled to use sole leath-
er and horse and bicycle and steam
engine to go from home to business,
to do our shopping, our visiting and
our travelling. No one can safely
say that it is impossible; no one
ought to be foolish enough to say
that it is not among the probabilities.
The more familiar we become with
human progress and the wonders
performed by human ingenuity, the
more ready we are to believe in the
possibilities Of this change in means
of transportation.
Within the last four years there
has been an immense quickening of
interest and concentration of ingenu-
ity and effort to work out practical
results in this line. Your readers
have become familiar with the ex-
periments of such as Maxim, Har-
grave, Langley and others. 1t is
impossible within the limits of a
brief article to point out the diff
ferences in principle of the various
workers in this line. Some are en-
deavoring to improve on the bird
and make the kite the model of the
aereal vessel. Others believe the
bird is good enough type, and are
trying to flap artificial wings with
which to carry us upward and on
ward. None, however, have as yet
been able to go beyond toy work or.
short flights, hardly sufficient to
shame those of the flying squirrel,
and often with bruised bodies and
broken machines as the result
The more one studies the stories
Of these experiments the more he
must admit profound doubt as to
whether any of them are the pre-
cursors of success. The necessary
weight or materials which have Sufff-
cient strength to do the work of
travelling in the air, and counterfeit
the force of gravity, and carry
the propelling agent whether it be
stored electricity, or steam, or COM
pressed air, or other power), i'm
mensely complexities the problem.
The bird is it's own motor, and has
only itself to carry. The machine
must carry itself. must carry an ad-
ditional motive power, and must
carry whatever may be it's load.
Until human ingenuity is able to
make device which, if not in itself
buoyant, is at least the extreme of
| lightness, combined with strength.
and a driving power which, in some
degree, matches the strong wings of
the bird, we must be condemned to

cry day that the moral restraints
of religious teaching are losing their
hold on the American people, and
that the tendency of the time is to
1materialism, pure and simple. The
reckless disregard of the sacred law
and the almost open contempt in
which many inspired teachings are
held by men high in public life en-
gender and encourage in those who
think little and initiate much feel
ing that religion is, after all, only
social theory, and not an absolute
and essential force of nature.
The growth of suicide is an evil
dence, and it is so accepted, of the
growth Of skepticism and material
ism. Suicide is a plain, palpable
violation of one of Gods hottest ordi-
nanceS, and the man who takes his
own life in the face of the Divine
Introduction does SO at the peril of
his soul. 1t follows, then, that the
man who takes his own life does not
believe in the right of God to forbid
the act, and having gone thus far
he denies the whole Deity.
1t would seem, therefore, that the
only remedy for the epidemic of self
murder which is becoming so alarm
ingly general lies in the slow process
of education. We are then con-
fronted with the problem: Does our
system Of education promote rev.
erence and regard for the laws of
God?
AT this stage of the argument our
moral philosophers are invited to
enter into the discussion, bringing
into it all that spirit of forbearance,
brotherly love and Christian charity
which have characterized such dis
cussions since they first claimed the
attention of philosophers and moral

WILMINGTON, Del, March 9.-Last
night gang of about fifty tramps
captured the Philadelphia, Whining
ton q Baltimore freight train from
Baltimore, which was due in this city
about 1l:3O. The tramps got on the
train. just outside of Baltimore and at
once began to abuse the trainmen.
Conductor Riley and his crew were
powerless. A few of the gang had re-
volvers, and all armed with knives and
clubs. One brakeman was caught on
top of car and beaten. In the fight
his lamp was broken, and the tramps
then attempted to force him from the
car. He managed to escape and took
refuge on the engine. At Chase sta
ton the trainmen were all driven
from the tops of the cars, and it was
expected an attack would be made on
the engine. But after the tramps had
secured possession of the train. thew
began quarreling among themselves.
and during one of their fights man
was thrown from the train, and it is
supposed fatally injured, if not killed
outright Conductor Riley tele-
graphed to this city for assistance.
and when the train reached the west
yard in this city there were about
fifty policemen in waiting. AS soon
as the train was brought to a stop. the
tramps jumped from the cars and
started to run. across the fields. The
heavy fog prevented the officers from
capturing many of the men, but after
running fight, in which several shots
were fired, the officers succeeded in
capturing eleven of the gang. When
the tramps were cornered they showed
fight, and only surrendered at the
point of revolvers.
