III, War Correspondent.

Mr.. Archibald Forbes says that the
ideal war correspondent should have
"the angelic temper of a woman and the
suavity of a candidate for Office. He
should know any number of languages,
and be capable Of riding 100 miles day
and going without food or sleep for o
week, and be able, at the end Of it, to
write round hand for a foreign telegraph
clerk at column an hour for six hours. :"

Bu6on's Chimpanzee.

The English Illustrated Magazine
says that "Buffon had chimpanzee in
174O which always walked upright. Of
fered people his arm, walked with them
in an orderly manner, sat down to table
like man, opened his napkin and wip-
ed his lips with it, made use of spoon
and fork, poured onA wine and clinket'
ylasses.

yond the control and power of those
who under most circu m stances would
be calm and conservative. People
away from the surroundings of the
crime, viewing the calamity after i:
is all over, do not judge the men
composing the mob rightly when
they condemn them too harshly.
They did lawless act and one that
they should not have been guilty Of,
but they probably did no more than
similar band in any community
would have felt like doing under a
similar provocation. We should put
to ourselves the same remark that
the frenzied father of the victim of
the crime put to the wife Of the
sheriff when she was appealing for
mercy for the depraved wretches,
'.if it was your daughter you would
feel different"
Nor does the fault that such fear
full acts of vengeance occur lie with
the pardoning power wholly. Our
laws are very largely to blame. Not
until the state establishes such modes
of legal procedure as will abolish the
rule OF paying states attorney so
much head for every criminal he
brings to the scaffold or every con-
Wet he makes on the one hand. and
permits defending attorneys to pur-
sue courses where the object is the
saving Of criminals on the other will
the danger of such barbaritv cease.
The laws should be so amended as to
insure law and justice only. The
state prosecutor should be paid a
salary as any other county officer.
aud be expected to do his duty, and
that to see that justice is done. The
same should apply to the attorney
who defends the accused-he should
be allowed to go only so far as is
essential to see that justice is done.
The ''great criminal lawyer" of to-
day does not always look to the side
Of justice alone. He takes up the
case of his client to clear him, and
that is his object from first to last.
The more notorious the case, the
greater the enormitv of the crime,
the more anxious the attorney for
the defence to clear his client. This
is often shown. twas demonstrated
in the miserable assassins Guiteau
and Prendergast, in both of which
cases every conceivable end was
employed TO elude justice by every
means of artiiice and otherwise. 1t
is now being attempted in two other
almost as well known cases in this
country, in that of DIR. Buchanan, the
New York wife murderer, and that
of DIR. Duestrow, the assassin of his
wife and child in St. Louis. And
had the Danville fiends come to trial
there is no doubt a desperate at
tempt would have been made to save
them from punishment.
Justice is in danger of miscarry-
ing when the law permits in methods
of procedure, such wide limita.
tions in saving the necks of con-
victed criminals. Every man should
have fair and impartial trial. He
should have the full measure OF
justice, but justice should not be
further outraged to save those who
have already outraged justice.

4 Phnae I'D the servant Question.
From Harper's Baar.

From Harper's Baar.
It is in dealing with the modern servant
that the position of the employer has
grown anomalous Can a man discharge
a washer-woman who gives him a written
recommendation? The writer of this
article has seen such a letter found pinned
on the weekly wash of college boy
friend. 1t ran thus:
Dear Mr.. -, I am so sorry to hear
you think of leavin' town. You wor a
good payer"
1t IS needles to add that this valuable
recommendation was carefully preserved
by the receiver.
The modern servant IS apt to seek out
her mistress reference as the mistress
hers, and give notice" at breath of dis
comfort. With the relations so altered
the behavior of the employed is an I'M
certain quality when receiving discharge.
There are many mistresses who put off
a dismissal from day to day in genuine
fear of impertinence or an ugly scene.
1t has grown necessary for timid house
holders to approach this matter cautiously
and open ii with discretion.
One of the most intrepid women, when
speaking on the servant question, said,
with entire gravity:
Il have a fixed method Of reproving or
dismissing my servants. and never vary
from it, / am careful not to seek them in
their domain, as they can there rattle dish
es as / talk. / always send for the Offend
er to come TO me in, say, quarter of an
hour-that gives them time to lose their
nerve and wonder what want Then
/ always contrive to be writing at my desk
as they enter my ROOM and / keep them
standing waiting while ! finish my page.
This is wholesome also. BY the time /
am ready find my servant quite subdued.
All this sounds tri1ing, and II takes time,
but 1t saves friction in the end"
Though this is amusing enough I'm it's
way It is also more or less distressing TO
those who remember the domestic rela-
tons Of their mothers and grandmothers,
and the tears. the fears Of any maid who
offended, as she stood submissive to re-
buke. a corner OF an apron held at weep
ing eyes.
There was no hedging against imperti-
hence then. and there was close, warm
feeling IN many cases between mistress
and servants. The change from then 10

An Anarchist on the stage.

New York Letter in Chicago Times
Herald.
Anarchist John Most is stage struck.
He is soon to appear again in a drama
with whiskers and a patent thriller. John
and his audiences differ somewhat in the
acts" they prefer him to do. He dotes
on his entrances Il. u. F., but they most
admire his exits p. d. @. Mr.. Most has
been told that he is a better actor than
John l.. Sullivan or the heifer in A Coun-
try Circus, and now he is going to APP
pear in poetic play ard a tragical one.
In the words of oscar Fingall O'Flaherty
Wills Wilde, his =" slim, gilt soul is going
to walk between poetry and passion"
He Is going to take the chief part In a
new play called The Sicilian Girl, by
George Biedeenkapp, an anarchist poet,
well known at all the gatherings Of Mosts
followers. This is a play in five acts-al-
though the poet was prepared to make
it eight, If necessary-and shows the ex-
tremes Of modern social life in a start
ling and dramatic manner. 1t Is founded
on incidents in the Sicilian agrarian re-
volt Of 1894, and is full Of excitement, dag
gers and bad liquor.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1895-04-08

on the part of the employed against mental
work or 1t may be caused by lack of per-
sonaI supervision IN the employers-who
can pretend to decide2-but IL is certain
that the present situation has a humor of
its own, as every turning of tables, even
where the upset is distinctly unfortunate
for all concerned. To see Polly standing
with knocking knees and apron at her
eyes before her mistress is pitiful enough,
but her mistress hiding her trembling
knees under a writing desk is absurd.
The fact is. the pendulum of power has
swung over to the servants SIDE and they
know 1t, more or less dimly. Perhaps a
sense of humor is the safest test to apply
to all things of life, and the woman who
can bring it to bear in so dangerous
moment as the dismissal of a servant may
have solved the question properly for her
self at least, and perhaps for othern also.
