The chief justice and Mrs. Fuller
have concluded not to renew the lease
of the house ON the corner of Massachu-
sets avenue and Eighteenth street in
which they have resided for the past
few years, since moving from the Bar
Der house on Fourteenth street and the
Boundary. The chief justice, early in
the summer, purchased summer home
at Sorrento, Me-, and with his family
has been spending the summer at that
place. Mrs. Fuller came to Washington
in advance of the family to select suit
able house in which to spend the win
ter. If the chief justice can find house
that exactly suits him, he will become
property holder in Washington, as has
long been his wish.
1t will be remembered that when the
chief justice and Mrs. Fuller decided
some years since to move from the
Boundary, they looked about for suit
able house to purchase for their perma-
nent home in this city. Their choice at
that time fell upon the large, square,
old fashioned house on the northeast side
of Thomas circle, owned and occupied
by Judge and Mrs. Wiley.
Finally an offer from the chief JUS
tice for 500, 900 was accepted by Judge
Wiley, and every arrangement to move
into it was about completed when the
transaction was suddenly and definitely
brought to a close by Mrs. Wiley's re-
fusal to sign the necessary papers. The
reason for this was the house had been
home to her for SO many years that
when it came to moving she could not
bear to break up all the pleasant associ-
ations of the years by permanently part
ing with the property. Washington

Harder Than Steel.

Des Moines has modern Tubal Cain

claims to have discovered the lost art Of
making Damascus steel" He has ex-
hibited in Chicago some samples of cut
lery made from the metal which bad
an edge keener and smoother than steel
razor. This was demonstrated by q mi
croscope and photography. The new
metal is a combination of copper and
tin and two other elements which Mr..
Dawson keeps secret A dagger made
from it looked like polished gold. Mr..
Dawson claims to be lineal descendant
of Ralph Hogge, who cast the first iron
cannon made in England. and his an.
cestors on both his father's and mothers
sides have been workers IN iron and
steel. He says his discovery Is partly ao-
cident, but primarily the reward Of years
of labor, research and experiment. He
claims that the new steel or hardened
copper is suitable for any kind of cut
lery from common pocketlSnife to the
most delicate surgical instrument, and
that no deleterious oxide (rust) forms
on it under most severe tests. Any steel
drill forced against it when it is harden

Self Lighting Gas.

How is gas to be made to light itselfs
Dukes self lighting gas burner is sim
ply an ordinary gas burner with a small
tube at the side. This is screwed into
the bracket CT other fitting, the gas is
turned on, and in from six to ten sec
onds the gas lights itself. This is how
it is done: The gas in issuing from the
burner passes over small knob Of por-
ous material impregnated with a rare
and indestructible metal, which as soon
as the gas passes over it becomes redhot.
This red heat is communicated to
small piece of platinum wire which inn
mediately becomes incandescent and
lights the gas. The little black knob is
practically indestructible, as is also the
platinum wire. Therefore. as long as
the burner exists, the gas ON being turn

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The thoughtful danes who fear that deal
of counting and Irritation may so on during
bicycle rides may restrain their fears. Court
ship on bicycle is something that not even
expert riders would dare attempt. Even con-
versation is at a disadvantage, and as for that
delightful nesting up TO one another which
lovers know all about, ii is wholly out OF the
question when the wheel is factor. 1t is at
all times an unruly thing, and its disposition
to take the bit in Its teeth demands more at
tention to its management than one can give
tohis sweetheart. But when the order to dis
mount is given-well, then the protest OF the
danes is i'll order.
A lawyer III Los Angeles forged the name OF
a Judge to q court order, and was tried for the
crime. a jury found the man not guilty be-
cause he was insane. Then "a commission was
called of doctors, as the law prescribes, and
the man was tried for insanity, and the YER
dict was that the lawyer was perfectly sane,
and 30 he goes free. The Los Angeles press is
now asking where justice got OFF in such q
case. Justice was and is all right The local
papers should rather ask where the jury got
of. The law is right, but the jury was weak.
Blame should not be laid at the threshold OF
the law so long as juries go off at taugents.
The San Jose Herald says that it is no wonder
that the people lose respect for the law in
light of such case. But tue people should
not and do not, in fact lose respect for the
law, which is of their own making. 1t is in
the administration of the law that the trouble
lies, and in the case under notice it would
seem that a jury OF the country alone was at
fault. The people are responsible for their
juries.

'egal authority shall go on and examine

regal authority shall go on and examine
into matters.
If the result, even after the stable has
been robbed of its horse, shall be the
stripping of the Porte of its jurisdiction
over Armenia, some compensation will
have been made for the death of the mar
tyrs. But nothing can remove from the
Turkish Government the stigma attach
ing to it for the brutal, almost demoniac,
treatment of the women. children and
aged of the Armenian villages. The peo-
pie of civilized nations will feel no regret
if the power and Jurisdiction Of the Turk
is SO circumscribed as to limit him to his
own people. During recent years his
dominion over eastern States has been
gradually reduced, but it needs further
restriction.
Turkey is utterly incapable Of govern
ing people other than its own. Nine
distinct eastern States and countries one
time under the domination of the Sultan
are now either independent or acknowl-
edge the rule or protectorate Of France,
England. Germany, Russia or Austria.
If, now, within the next few years the
Turk is completely stripped of authority
over other peoples, civilization will have
cause to rejoice. If the European Powers
can SO adjust their jealousies as to give
civilized protectorate to Armenia, that
unhappy province may become a pros
porous, happy and peaceful country. with
fair degree of liberty of conscience and
action. For it is quite certain that the
Armenians are not fitted for self-govern
ment. They have not the strength to
protect themselves, nor are the people,
after SO many years under the cruel
thumb of Turkey. capable of setting up
and maintaining an Independent system.
The time will come, and it will not be
distant day, when Armenia may accom-
plish for herself as much as has Greece,
but it will not be achieved in the present
century

supplemented by the secretly promoted
scheme Of more than one country to
thin out its population at our expense.
The commission has this to say in addi-
ton to the points to which we have di-
rected attention:
A large number of the immigrants also are
llllterate, and consequently cannot rise into
the ranks OF skilled labor. They have become
congested in our large cities. and not only
md themselves repeatedly in need of relief,
put also deprlving the rank and file of our
more permanently established industrial
classes of opportunities of working at I'M
skilled employinents when there is a temper
airy interruption in SKILLED occupations.
FOR these reasons we heartily recommend
measures OF restriction of immigration, and
advise tilat the Legislature of Massachusetts
pass resolve requesting its Representatives
and Senators i'll Congress to work for the
passage OF q law forDiuding the Immigration
OF any above the age Of / 4 years who cannot
read and write some one language, ana that II
head tax OF at least $50 be imposed upon
every immigrant.
The reading and writing qualifications
will give but partial relief. Most of the
intolerants driving out citizens in
Illinois can read and write in at least one
tongue. The educational qualification
will not exclude the anarchist, nor keep
from our thresholds all of those who
come here for no other purpose than to
make temporary gains, entertaining the
intention to return to their native land at
no distant day. 1t will keep out the
major portion of the debased and pauper
labor that comes in to the displacement
Of American unskilled workers, but it
will not exclude those skilled European
workmen who come over nearly every
building season on low transportation
rates, work the season through at their
trades, and return to Europe for the
winter with more money than they can
earn at home in twice that period of time,
while American skilled laborers stand
idle and protest. The educational test
will not keep away from us that malig-
| nant, disturbing class, the mission Of
which is to preach the gospel of unrest.
and the doctrine of the torch and red flag.
The increase of the head tax is not to
| be considered property qualification,
but as means of securing a better class
of immigrants. The present head tax of
81 is paid by the immigrant ship compa-
MES. Whatever will augment the ex-
pense of coming here will tend to bar the
entrance against many of the undesirable
| classes, but not to all, notably rot against
those agents of evil sent out by the Eu-
ropean anarchistic associations to en-
