BOTHER ABOUT THE SEALS.

Gov. Sheakiey, of Alaska, a very ex-
eeilent Western Pehnsylvanian. who has
held his position through conflicting Ad-
ministrations, makes an elaborate report,
showing that if the seals are not protected
they will soon become extinct. Special
agents are paid good salaries for looking
after interests of the seals. United States
vessels are kept patroliDg Bering Sea to
drive away sealing pirates. Suits are
pending against the United States for in
reference with Canadian sealing privi-
Ieges.
Now, what is all this bother of super
vision, high joint commissions and what
not about?
Simply about lot of sea animals that
furnish food to nobody in the world, and
whose pelts are transformed into fur warp
pings which are SO expensive that they
can be purchased only by the very rich.
This is the whole matter in a nutshell.
cannot afford the luxury of more than
a small seal cape or a diminutive imita-
ton of the fashionable something that is
worn by those who lavish money upon
costumes.
The American buffalo, n useful animal
for domestic purposes, its hide and meat
OF great value, was permitted to become
practically extinct under the rifles of
foreign and American sportsmen. Why,
then, expend so much money and engage
In constant International discussions to
protect an animal which may truly be said
to be merely ornamental?
OF course a few owners and crews of
scaling vessels find empio yment in this
field, but that is not to be considered in
comparison with the great expenditure
for the purpose of perpetuating sselss
Industry.

AGAIN THE GRADE CROSSING

That horses and driver of an ice
wagon were not killed at the vicious
grade crossing of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad, ot First and G streets north
east, this morning. was due only to the
presence of mind OF the man who held
the reins who pulled his team quickly
around, thus barely permitting the en-
gine to pass without striking him.
This almost murder was due TO i'm
perfect gates and an Overworked watch
man. Not only does this corporation, so
impudently Indifferent to the comfort and
safety of citizens, refuse to employ a
sufficient number OF watchmen to pro-
tect grade crossings, but 1t persists in
the use of ramshackIe' gates, which refuse
to respond 10 the gateman, even when he
can run quickly enough from one crossing
to another of the three which this gate
man is said to be compelled TO look
after.
Apparently nothing can be done to
legally remedy this absolutely criminal
negligence ON the part of the Baltimore
& Ohio management. Congress and Dis
trict authorities appear TO be in their
grasp.

He is said to have been barber. econd-

clerk, messenger. a street fakir, a tum-
bier, circus performer. contortionist, and
prestidigitateur. He has dealt in South
African diamonds, and about their spu-

enemies who knew him in the mines. He
left there when he was about eighteen

money backings for these enterprises

fishing long letters and dispatches from
the scene OF activity. Conservative Eng
lish journals inveighcd against it, but the
people gave no heed.
Barney Barnato got into the Kaffir
swim. He plunged deep. His natural
daring and cool efrrontery stood him well.
He won enormously. Then he branched
out indepe ndently and drew about him
his own following. II was another case
of the lucky gambler leading the way for
the unlucky. He organized compa nies to
float .Kaffirs." There were Barnato
companies" Rarnato groups Earnato
Shares but there were never any Bar

rapidly than the great bonanza kings OF

there was an almost indescribable frenzy.
