ARemarknbIc Vendetta.

Did you ever hear of a strong, able
bodied man going crazy from grief?'
asked Capt. Debney of the steamship
City of Puebla, on the water front, ac-
don't mean one of your highly sensitive
creatures" continued he, but a man six
feet four inches in his stockings and a.
strong as an OK. OF such a man l hearG
during my last trip TO the sound. He is
Russian Finn and is sensible on every
subject save one He has a vendetta
against the Walrus, and his cabin in the
wilds of Alaska is built up with their
skulls.
According to the story told me by a
passenger who came down with me from
the sound, this man settled in Alaska
years ago. He married a native woman,
and she bore him a son. A few years later
the mother died. and all the affection of
the half-saVage father centered on the
son. Nothing was too good for the lad,
and everything in the way of hunting and
fishing lore was taught him.
when the boy was old enough his faith
er took him out on all his hunting eXpe-
ditions, and soon the youngster began
working on his own account.
. "One fatal day he attacked an old bull
walrus, but instead of killing it he him
self was the victim. When the father
saw the dead body of his son he was wild
with grief, which finally settled into a
species of madness. Now all he lives for
is to kill walrus.
when the mania first seized him he
lived in a dugout. Now his hut in on the
ground and composed almost entirely OF
walrus skulls. ..---.-
He crawls UP behind the brutes while
they are asleep and seizing them by the
tusks, stands them on end by main force.
He looks into their eyes as though seeking
to recognize the one that killed his son,
and then his knife does the rest The head
is then cut off, and goes to make one
more to the monument he is raising to
the memory OF his son..

A story is told in the India Rubber World
of a meek-looking stranger, with a dis
tinctly ministerial air, who applied for per
mission to look over a large rubber fac
tory. He knew nothing at all about the
rubber business, he said, and, after a
little hesitation, he was admitted The
superintendent showed him about in per-
son, and the mans questions and COM
ignorance. Finally, when the grinding
room was reached, he fingered little and
asked, in a hesitating way: Couldn't
have a specimen of that curious stuff for
my cabinet?" Certainly replied the
superintendent although 1t was COM
thousands of dollars; certainly, cut off as
much as you wish" With eager step the
visitor approached the roll of gum, took
out his knife, wet the blade in his mouth
and - stop right where you are"' said
the superintendent; laying a heavy hand
upon the stranger; you are a fraud and
a thief You don't learn in a pulpit that
dry knife won't cut rubber" So saying
he showed the impostor to the door, and
the secret was still safe.

The Proposed Bank Check Tax.
From the Washington Post QndD.

The check system has been adopted by
reason of its safety and convenience, by
almost everybody in any and every kind
of business. All but a small percentage
of the enormous daily aggregate of cash
transactions is represented by checks and
drafts. The small tradesman, the t-rifty
mechanic. the clerk and even the. day Ia
borer, in some instances, pays his bills
with checks. Large numbers of women
of small means are bank depositors, be-
cause they have learned that bank vault
is safer repository for their little boards
than a bureau drawer or bed tick. To
put a tax on bank checks would be a
totally unnecessary imposition of burden
on a hundred persons of moderate or
small means for every rich man whom 1t
would reach. To Justify the revival of
this eXpedient that was devised under the
stress of our great war, some urgent ne
cessity should be shown. 1t is not a
sufficient justification to show that the
revenues must be increased.

The Old Cemetery Question.


We are sure the people OF this city were
greatly surprised when they learned that
the chief condition OF the proposed settle
ment Of the old South Broad street GENE
terry question which has been agitated so
long. is the payment by the city to Christ
church Of $500 We can see no good
reason why the city should pay the church
anything The city gains nothing but the
right to make the cemetery an attractive
little park at a cost Of at least $4,000 OF
$1,000, and we do not see why the city
should not have that right without the
payment Of a cent.
In order 10 improve the cemetery. in ac-
cordance with the plan which the city has
in contemplation, it is not necessary, as
far as we can see. that the city should
have title to the part Of the cemetery
claimed by Christ church. Just as pretty
a park can be made out Of the cemetery
without transferring the claim Of Christ
church to the city as if the claim was
transferred.
1t may be urged that Christ church
might decide some time to build a church
on the part it claims. There is no proba-
bllity the Church will ever do any such
thing. There would be no reason for build
ing a new church so near the old one.
But if 1t should decide al any future time
to build a church in the old cemetery
what possible objection could there be
to its doing so? A fine church there would
not be Objectionable from any point Of
view. Indeed, it would be an additional at
traction to South Broad street. The proba-
bility of a church being built there. how
ever, is so remote as to be hardly worth
considering.
II the city obtained title TO the property
without any conditions, by paying $500,
the proposed settlement might then be
worth considering, but the conditions i'm
posed require that the cemetery shall al
ways be maintained as a park. The
annual expense Of maintaining such a
park will be.considerable. The city cannot
even use the part which it claims for any
other purpose tnan that of park.
Under the circumstances we do not see
that the city wants Christ church's title.
old cemetery, and we cannot understand
what possible objection Christ church can
have to having the graves cared for and
the cemetery made presentable. The con-
ditions 1t imposes in the proposed sale
justify the conclusion that its chief con-
Germ is that the graves shall be preserved
intact and cared for. They are not cared
for now. They are totally neglected.
Why not then give the city authority to
protect and care for them, and still retain
its claim to a part of the cemetery?
The city has not now money enough to
do one half that ought to be done. There
is great clamor for improvement in the
southern part of the city, for street open
ing and street paving, for house drainage
and various other matters. If the city
council should neglect those things and
give 1850 for the right to improve the
old cemetery. it would subject itself to
unfavorable criticism.
