MANIAC AFTER PULLMAN.

The life of Geo. M. Pullman and tbs
of John B. Grifin, the manager of the
Pullman building, in Chicago. were
menaced by on insane man last night
Both men were to have been shot and
killed on or before the 18th of I'll Q
month. The delay of the maniac il
making up his mind who should be the
first victim gave the police time to er-
rest him. The prisoner is William Shers
man, who has been employed as q
window cleaner around the Pullman
building. A woman fortune-teller is at
present held responsible for the sugges-
ton that placed the lives of Mr.. Pull
man and his manager in jeopardy, and
she police are now endeavoring to find
her and ask her why she advises her
patrons to commit murder.
At five o'clock yesterday evening
word was brought to Manager Griffin
that Sherman, usually steady and re-
liable man, was going about the build
ing making threats to kill him
and Mr.. Pullman. Griffin at once
started out to find the window cleaner,
Uut uo udu lc1V uuC uuiiuinS oleCl 10.
peating his threats to several people,
Griffin then sent word to the police,
and two officers were sent out to look
for Sherman.
After searching for some time, they
found him in the freight elevator and
took him into custody. He had no
hesitation in declaring that he intended
to kill either Mr.. Pullman or Griffin or
both. He said that during the after
noon he had consulted the fortune
teller, because he was unable to sleep.
The woman told him that he was
troubled with secret enemies, and that
unless he killed them before November
II or 81, they would kill him. She de-
scIibed the men to him, and the
descriptions were those of Mr.. Pullman
and Mr.. Griffin. The woman would
not tell him the names of the men un-
less he paid her $25. This be declined
to do, as he knew the men by the de-
scription, he said. Sherman said that
he would have killed one of the men
yesterday afternoon if he could have
made up his mind which to take first.
The man, palpably insane, was re-
moved to the Detention Hospital.

ANOTHER good deed has been
credited to the bicycle. The United
States Tobacco Journal charges
that during the last year the con-
sumption of cigars has been reduced
by 7OO,OOO,OOO by the wheeling
habit, the explanation being that
men are not apt to smoke while
riding bicycle. These figures do
not tally with those of the United
States revenue department, which
shows a large increase in the con-
sumption of cigars. Whatever fall
ing off in the consumption of to-
bacco may be chargeable to the
bicycle is probably the result of a
man saving his cigar money to buy
a wheel, and whatever the cause the
result is a good one. Cycling is
certainly more healthful and in
MIGRATING than the use of tobacco.

WOMEN AS TEACHERS.

The last report Of the Federal
Commissioners of Education shows
that $3.50 per cent. of the teachers
in the United States are women,
and that this proportion is more
likely to be increased than dimin-
ished. That women are particu-
larly adapted to teach young
children has long been recognized,
and of late years they have dem
onstrated their ability to fill execu-
tive positions in the higher grades.
But as the old fashioned school
master with his spare-the-rod-
spoil-the-child system has disap-
peared, salaries have also taken a
downward tendency. In other
words, in this as in other lines
where women have taken the place
of men, the women have proved a
bear on the salary market. They
will work for less and, other things
being equal, they get the positions.
At the present time nearly all the
high salaried teachers are men, but
as the new woman begins to prove
her ability, even the men at the
top will have TO look well to their
laurels. 1t is highly proper that
the high positions in educational
circles should be dealt out irrespec-
tive of the sex of the applicants,

LEGALIzING the municipal own
ership of telephone systems in Eng
land is soon to be settled by the
report Of commission of the House
of Commons appointed to investi-
gate the claims Of the advocates
and opponents of the measure. 1t
is stated on good authority that the
committee will render a decision
against municipal ownership.
Many European cities control their
telephone systems and an attempt
has been made to prove that the
service has been cheaper and better
in consequence than when in the
hands of private companies. On
the other hand the English COM
panies have given statistics prov
ing that Great Britain has more
telephone subscribers than any
other European country, and that
the cities of Hamburg and Berlin,
where the telephone system is
operated by the government, the
charges are not sufficient to pay
the running expenses. While the
companies may have won over the
majority of the committee, it is
reasonable to predict that the
turning over of their lines to the
people is only question of time.
Following out their argument it
might be said that the annual def
cheney in the United States postal
bureau is proof that the postal
service ought to be turned over to
private companies.

LOOSE METHODS IN HILO.

A visitor in Hilo during the re-
cent panic in that place states that
the passengers of the Claudine
were compelled to battle in tubs on
Cocoanut Island and submit their
clothing to fumigation. After eight
days of quarantine, they were
taken IN a scow over 70 the town,
and the male passengers were
stripped, stood up in line and
washed down with some prepara-
ton by the physician, and their
clothes again fumigated. The
women were treated IN the same
way. As the people Of Hilo who
led in this singular crusade felt
that the medical authorities Of the
United States and Europe were in
competent to give advice in this
matter, and they were left to adopt
their own far-reaching methods, 1t
seems to US that they did not 60
far enough. Their system was quite
too loose, and they have left myri-
ads of loopholes, through which
able bodied germs may enter the
homes of Hilo. No passenger should
have been turned loose until: First,
the stomach pump had been APP
piled six times on the last day, and
any sneaking germs forced up and
out; second, the head of every
one had been shaved clean
third, every passenger had been
skinned, just as the Indians skin
their prisoners, but, of course, with
a more lofty motive fourth, instead
of washing down each person with
some solution, the effects of which
soon pass away, the Hilo fire-engine
should have played solution of
whitewash on the stripped passen-
gers, and this should be repeated
every day for two months; fifth,
the clothing should have been
burned up instead of being fumi-
gated sixth, effective measures
should have been taken to
prevent the diseased fish from
the waters of Honolulu har-
Dor from entering Hilo bay, while
the fumigated passengers were cor
rallied on Cocoanut Island.
1t may be said that this is Hilo's
first experience. On the arrival of
the next panic she will do better
and be more stringent. AS an old
lady on King street, who has now
been living for four weeks only on
boiled water and fumigated hard
tack, says, an ounce of prevention
is, etc.

Now that the restriction on fish
is raised, we shall have an opportun-
fty to sec to what degree the ignorant
classes will exercise their common
sense and honesty. Should it be-
come known to any person that at
tempts are being made to bring
fish into the city that have not
passed the inspection of the Board
of Health agents, the fact should

important now as during the dark

In allowing the fish trade to be re-

adopt, for a time at least, the sys-
tenn in vogue at Waianae of clean
ing and rinsing the fish in boiling
water before distributing them.

maintaining that the price put on
her brain power shall not be de-

NEW YORK, July 15.-The first tornado
In many years struck New York and Long
Island Saturday afternoon and resulted
fatally In one instance, besides wrecking
q large amount of valuable property. The
tornado wrecked thirty houses at Wood
Haven and very large school house
there. There were twenty residents Of
Wood Haven hit by the various objects
which were carried through the air. Trees
and ehimneys sailed through the air as
though they were no heavier than feathers.
At Wood Haven a woman was in an out
house. The house was picked up and car
ried by the storm for more than a block
Finally the woman was landed on one
side Of the street and the house on the
other The woman had an almost mirac-
ulous escape, receiving only a slight cut
ON the forehead. Mrs. Louisa Petroquien,
of Third avenue, near Rockaway, was
killed. She stood in the doorway OF her
house when flying beam struck her on
the head, crushing in her skull and kill
ing her instantly. The loss to property
In direct way has been estimated at
about 800 900, but this is not taking into
consideration the damage to crops in the
neighborhood of Wood Haven.
Homes have been provided for those
who lost their abiding places, and relief
has come in from many directions.
