terday Durrant was all smiles, but he was
not very communicative.
The remarks made concerning his act
in having his hair cut short and his mus
tache shaved off seemed to amuse the al
legged murderer of Blanche Lamont and
Minnie Williams. The fact that reporters
have noticed the great change in his ap-
pearance evidently pleased and amused
the decidedly odd young man.
Durrant's face as it appeared at the wicket
of his cell yesterday was study in many
ways. A physiognomist could have told
but little from it, and but few of his old
friends could have recognized him. When

ANNEXATION IMPOSSIBLE.
volney v. Ashford Says That the Pres
emit Government Must Fall and
Monarchy Is Probable.

Monarchy Is Probable.
Colonel Volney Y. Ashford arrived from
Hawaii yesterday. He was once in COM
mand of the royal forces in the Hawaiian
Islands, and later became strong annex
ationist Finally he disagreed with the
Government and was arrested for COM
plicity in the late attempt at revolution,
was tried and sentenced by the commits
sion to years imprisonment and to pay a
fine of $1,000.
His health failed when in prison, and he
was released on condition that he would
leave the country.
He is no longer an annexationist, but a
believer in the re-establishment of a
monarchical form of Government in the
islands, although he claims that he was
wrongfully convicted of participation in
the late uprising.
He said: There is perfect reign OF
terror in the islands. Informers are every
where. People do not dare to speak in
their own houses. There is everywhere a
feeling of uncertainty, doubt and impend-
ing danger and ruin.
aThose. who favored annexation have
made up their minds that it is impossible.

an impossibility and all are about agreed
on that. Thurston has gone back, and il

FeneIon and Rousseau.

Possibly Fenelon has owed his great
reputation as much to his famous quarrel
with Bossuet, as to the authorship of
stTelemaehus' or to his own personal
merits. 1t pleased the skeptical writers of
the eighteenth century to regard Fenelon
as in some measure an encyclopedias, who
had been born century too soon. He
was the angel of sweetness and patience,
while in the same legend Bossuet was the
fanatical, overbearing ecclesiastic, who, in
the interest of the church, would have
burned Fenelon and every other liberal
spirit.
The view was unjust, both to Fenelon
and Bossuet, for the first was not the I'M
complaining man this legend makes him
out to be, nor was the other cruel and I'M
scrupulous in any unworthy sense. The
Eagle of Meaux" was exclusively a
churchman, but he was a good man ac-
cording to his own rather narrow concep-
ton OF righteousness. The regard which
the eighteenth century had for Fenelon is
illustrated in curious way by saying of
Rousseau. IF Fenelon were living" said
a friend to him, ''you would be orthodox"
"Ah, replied Jean Jacques, Il would be
his lackey, in the hope that I might come
to be his valet. "-Macmillan's Magazine.

Very Curious Things.

Prof. Hajak, of Vienna, has declared that
smokers are less liable TO diphtheria and
northumberland thaunon- smokers in the
ratio of one to twenty eight. The learned
DR.. Schiff also gives US TO understand that
smoking is always positively forbidden in
archaeological laboratories, because 1t is
known to hinder the development of the bac-
terra.
Experts report that 1t is impossible to
send a telegraph dispatch through the
Hoosac tunnel, four and one-half miles from
North Adams. Mass. 1t has been tried with
ali kinds of wire, and with cable such asis
used under the ocean, but i'll vain Tele-
graph wires, in consequence of this curious
condition, have been carried over the sur
rounding mountains. A careful explora-
tion of the tunnel has been made. but no mag
netic or other ore has been found to inter
fere with the transmission OF a message.
Mazeppa is not an ina ginary character
of Byron. He was &c to John kaZiincr,
king of Poland, and being discovered in
triguing with the wife of the grand general
OF artillery, this latter officer caused him to
be tied to the back of a wild L ukranian horse.
After being chased by wolves and da shing
over ravines and torrents, the horse stop
ped in small village, where Mazeppa was
rescued, and became a leader of the Cos
sacks.
The owner of pin factory in Seymour,
Conn, recently hauled away several tons
of defective pins and made OF them side
walk in front OF his house. He expects as
soon as these useful implements rust and are
pounded down TO have the finest pavement
in the United States.
A match cutting machine is quite an au-
tomato curiosity. 1t cuts 100000
a day, and then arranges them over a vat,
where the heads are put on at surprising
rate of speed.
A portion of the high land of Buckingham
shire is known by the name OF the Chitern
Hills. Formerly these hills aborntied in
timber, ana afforded shelter to numerous
banditti. To suppress these freebooters

appointed under the crown, called the ste
ard of the Chiltern Hundreds. Tie duties
have long since ceased, but the nominal Of

LAW MUCH NEEDED.

Discoveries made by reporter for The
Times in regard to the sale of poison by
druggists give additional proof of what
had already been suggested in these col
umns, that there should exist laws more
stringent TO govern this important feature
of the trade of the pharmacist.
II appears that under the present law
all that is necessary TO secure supply
of poison for any purpose is to give So
called "legii imate' reason for its use, with
ones name and address for purposes Of
registry. This really means no restric-
ton whatever, and therefore, excepting in
the case of extremely careful or conscien-
tious druggists. one may purchase poison
for either sudden or slow suicidal pur-
poses, or to administer TO some one else
whose presence upon earth is offensive.
The almost invariable care exhibited
by the dru ggists who We're visited is GER
tainly highly conimenda be. when the flimsy
construction of the law s considered. The
law is greatly improved upon in its exc
cation.

HEARsEY VS.. BoATNER.

Congressman Boatner of Louisiana has
been a very energetic aud useful man In
the House, and Maj. Hcarsey publishes a
very bright paper in New Orleans called
the States. 1t will therefore be hoped by
every one, except those who are always
thirsting for the shedding of some one e!se's S
gore than their own, that the two gentle
men, who seem tu have a duel on their
hands, W i'll end the matter in the harmless
way which has been the vogue in France
time past.
Mai. Hcarsey is said to have denounced
Mr.. Boatner as n liar, coward and scoun-
drel He could not have made his denuncia-
ton much more binding f he had accused
the Congressman of stealing sheep. But
such cpitlets, when spoken In hot anger,
should not be made reason for killing or
for any belligcrent meeting whate
Nobody whose opinion is worth anything
will have less respect for Bnatner if he
refuse to notice the attack, and everybody
viii applaud Maj. Hearsey If that gentleman
makes an apology for his strong language.
1t is probable the affair will be ended
without bloodshed. When formal notes
begin to pass between gentlemen, through
the agency of ''friends," gentlemen are
likely to grow calmer and to be willing to
"talk the matter over" Let peace reign

HERR AHLwARDT'S LESSON.

Ahlwardt, whose only claim upon lame
IS that he has made persistent ard iGdis-
criminate onslaughts upon the Jewish
race in Germany, has already discovered
that for his business America is not even
SO comfortable a country as Germany.
In his own land he has had little en-
coura cement, for there, as elsewhere,
many of the greatest leaders in business and
in thought in all fields of science, and espe-
ciaEy in those economical movements which
promise the most perfect relief to the
very class which the crank Ahlwardt seems
10 think is being exploited only by Jew
ish employers, belong to the race he would
prescribe.
Americans desire to be most amiable
aud hosptabe to all foreign visitors who
come with any curnmendable purpose, but
1t not infrequcntly happens that some
crank who has little or NO friendly treat
ment in his own land, but who has gained
noturicty by sheer crankiness, thinks he can
come tu America and pose as critic of
American affairs and attack races and
classes and Institutions in his peculiar fash
ion.
The Times would not undertake to say
that all such persons should be given the
reception which marked the debut of Ahl-
wardt at Copper Union Thursday evening,
but it viii venture the assertion that of all
the foreign cranss who have recently come
uninyited and unwelcome to America the
Jew-baiter whose absence from the Ger
man Reichstag is SO agreeable tn the other
members is least deserving of any bouquet
except that furnished fresh by the cacklns
groups of the barnyard, but grown stale

Congress is the national mind. The ma

regeneration. On one side stands anarchy
and over against that desola tton and hard
times. To steer between and land the ship
or state in smooth seas of prosperity is the
task of the Congress. Tariff. free silver.
sound money. war. and what not, are
seriously proposed and discussed. No
statesman has The courage or genius TO
take the nation by the ears and turn its
face square OH the issue-the providing Of
work for idle hands.
Contrasted with the Heterogeneous assem-
blage OH Capitol Hill isa Congress OF young
and ardent spirits. They are the disciples
OF Nashington's four great universities.
The wisdom of their masters has directed
the thought and purposes OF these three thou
sand youth to the great question or the
day. Under the general head OF economics
all of them are giving elaborate courses. Our
universities have seen the danger ahead.
Their young men are being imbued with

1t Is gratifying to note this purpose ana
after these may be expected to grasp, ii nd
not waste valuable time in criticising the
dilletanti utteranceS Of insignificant men
for party gain. The one sond comfort to-
day IS that the colleges are sensibiy grap-
pling with the growing evils and practi-
cally training young men and women Ior the
struggle to arrest them. The universities
deserve the gratitude of inen. Their course
Is in sharp contrast to that OF Congress
