HANGED by ACCIDENT.
Unable to Summon Help and
Was Slowly Strangled.

CHESTER, Pa, Nov. 16.-Edward
Mclaughlin. Of Ridley township, met
a horrible death last night. Having
gone into the shed at the rear Of the
house his prolonged absence alarmed
his family. A son entered the shed
and discovered the liieless body of his
father. He was hanging by rope,
which was twisted around his neck.
At the Coroner's inquest tonight the
evidence showed that Mclaughlin had
met with an accident. 1t appears that
he went into the wagon shed to tie up
the shafts of cart and accidentally
slipped, the rope twisting around the
neck. he slowly strangled to death,
unable to make an cutlery or to sum-
mon assistance.

Night npales Near LonIop.

It will probably be news to many people that nightingales may be heard singing by the roadside in London suburb within six or seven miles of the city. We have always had them here in private grounds, but this year they seem unusually numerous, and some have come out and established them selves in more public places. One lives in a little copse down the road about 150 yards from my window, and he sings regularly every night. My next door neighbor has just returned from his honeymoon, and among the wedding presents was evidently a very fine clock. It marks time with son. orous note which reverberates impress sively in the dead of night, and being unused to the sound hear rather more of the passage of the hours than Is al- together to be desired. However, it enables me to note the habits of the birds. Regularly a few minutes after the clock strikes two the nightingale begins. It is still dark then, but the faint gray light which never leaves the northern sky this month is spreading toward the Zenith. The bird sings well and strong, and as he has the whole concert to himself for a good hour I can hear him quite plainly. The only interruption Is a shrill and querulous interjection, thrown in occasionally from some nest as though to say, "Oh. do shut up that row and let a fellow get some s1eepv' But the nightingale never hears it, and goes on disturbing his neighbors with the sublime egotism of great artist.
 Few institutions burdened by fame so great and ancient live up to it so well as the nightingale. He is equal to his tremendous reputation. Other song-birds surpass him in some res poets: the skylark sings with more fire and passion, the blackbird has mel lower pipe. the thrush is more dramat- ic, and many of the smaller singers have their own special merits; but the nightingale possesses a mastery of means and a nobility of style which make all the rest seem common. And yet all kinds of birds are constantly mistaken for it. Indeed, many people call any bird which they hear sing ing well a nightingale, especially if it is in the evening and in their own garden; but that is because they are thinking about themselves, not the singing. They do not care to own a black-cap or a linnet, but to have a nightingale on the premises is rather distinguished. On the other hand, have seen scores of people pass within thirty or forty yards of one singing in full blast and never know it. But when their attention was drawn to it they showed nearly as much interest

saving in weight and space, and to the disposition, as nearly as possible, of boilers and engines below the water line. The designer has not had the freedom which Is to be found in the planning of any of the fast Atlantic liners engines, in which reliability of working at maximum duty, day after day, twenty-four hours a day, is the prime consideration, unrestricted by cramped space, the possible effects of an enemy's fire, and other conditions little less obstructive to the securing of the best speed results for long con- tinuous periods of time. That mod ern cruiser should be able fully to hold pace with one of the crack ocean grey hounds, popularly supposed to be in vincible, is, indeed, one of the desidera- ta aimed at in theory, at least by all naval authorities, but to accomplish this is quite another thing. It is not too much, therefore, to repeat that the performance of the Columbia, in racing successfully, as she did, against so splendid a ship as the Augusta Vic- toria, of the Hamburg line, stands unparalleled among ships of war, and ought to be a source of gen. uine pride to the United States navy department and the Bureau of steam engineering, as well as to the builders, Messrs. Cramp & Sons of Philadelphia. Coasters Magazine.

 In considering dresses now coming in and that will last into winter it will be found that hip pieces, either fulled or set on after the manner of the flat shoulder epaulettes that will still hold their place, are feature of many of the new models This sounds like an imperative invasion of novelty, but it offers a chance to transform the round bodice already in hand into the latest by the discreet taclling on of such adornment as either hip pieces or a simulated coat skirt that sets out jaun- tily in the back from the edge of the round waist and lies flat at the hips.

COMMUNICATIONS.
The Oak and the Vine.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND CHURIER:
 have never been able to see the beau ty of the comparison of the relation Of man and wife to the oak and the vine It has always seemed to me to be quite unworthy of woman. We cannot derive our opinion of the significance of this primitive man thought the vine sup ported the tree, so much the worse for primitive man,
 We do not see here two similar plants, each strengthening the other, each stronger united than 1t would be alone. But we see rather a plant of one spe- cies preying upon plant of another species.
 The vine twines around the oak; you say it symbolizes marriage. The snakes that twine around the laocoon group would symbolic marriage quite as we'll, The vine is not seeking the good of the tree, but it's own. It gives the tree nothing, while 1t takes from it all that is most dear. Its roots absorb the mois- ture from the soil. Its branches ruE out over the limbs of the tree and shut off the sunshine. It breaks off the smaller branches by the weight of it's leaves and fruit. It spreads it's broad leaves out like soils to the cyclone. The tree with a vine upon it has not half a chance in the battle of life. With dead tree the case is no better The vine does not make the dead tree beautiful. The dead tree serves merely as a trellis for the vine, and 1t is to the vine our admira- ton is given. A dead tree may stand by itself in weird grandeur for half a century, but tree with vine upon 1t will be routed down in dozen years.
 No! If woman Is a vine, men do well who do not marry. Ere he take such step let him go out in the orchard and take counsel of nature as to effects. A vine will kill peach tree in three or four years; and an apple tree will not survive much longer. But woman IS as much the oak as she is the vine. Does man sustain woman in the physical par ties? Woman quite as truly sustains man in the moral struggles Do the tendrils of woman's heart reach out for something to cling to? Has not mans nature as great a need of love? The oak and the vine stand for strength and weakness; man and woman for differ ant kinds of strength. H. $. c.

--------------- OFFENSIVE PARTJSAN

Several years ago Grover Cleveland, then president of the United States is- sued a letter to the heads of depart ments in the service of the general government, in which he rebuked of- ficeholders guilty of offensive parti- sanship," and remarked: The infence of Federal officeholders should not be felt in the manipulation of political primary meetings and nominating con- ventions. The use by these officials of their positions to compass their selec- tion as delegates to political conven- tions is indecent and unfair, and prop CT regard for the proprieties and re- quirements of official place will also prevent their assuming the active con- duct of political campaigns.
 Grover Cleveland is now president of the United States, and as it is known that he never recedes from an advanc- ed and noble position when he has taken it, he is, of course, of the same
 
 mind to-day concerning Offensive par tisanship' that he was when he first preached against it. But it was mo- ticed the other day at Springfield, Ohio, that there were many offensive parti- sans" present at and taking part in the Democratic State convention. Among them were: Joseph H. Bowling, collector of internal revenue at Cincin- natl; George W. Hull, collector of in- ternal revenue at Lima; Lewis Oh- tiger, collector of internal revenue at Cleveland; Samuel McMillan, collector of internal revenue at Springfield; F. M. Senter, postmaster at Columbus;

PRt ClOUN RIGHT.

Nothing is dearer to an EngHshman than his rights, and many Englishmen think that one of their rights is to re- fuse to be vaccinated for the public good or for their own good. But an outbreak of smallpox that has assumed almost the proportions of real epi- demic is causing much anxiety in Lon don. It began some months ago, and since then has been slowly spreading from one slum to another, until now the health officials find themselves con- fronted with task of no little magni- tude for cold weather is approaching and the disease is one that is much more easily handled in summer than in win ter. The Lancet, in discussing the mat ter, explains the prevalence of the nal ady by stating that at no time within the present generation has there been in England such gross and criminal carelessness in enforcing obedience to the vaccination laws as within the last six years. This, in turn, is due to the fact that royal commission, appointed in 1889 to investigate the whole subject of vaccination, has done it's work with such amazing deliberation that even now 1t is not ready to make a report. Meanwhile the boards of guardians are constantly declaring that until the ques- ton is settled one way or another they do not feel called upon to enforce with vigor the provisions of the vaccination acts.
 The right to have smallpox is truly a most precious one. Formerly it was not so considered, but that was when the danger of having 1t was more appreci- ated than the right. Since vaccination has been found to be efficacious in re- moving the danger the right has grown in importance.

A warsbi,,s Race Across the AtIant.c.


 Looked at from whatever point of view, the recent performance of the United States cruiser Columbia, in crossing the Atlantic, from the Needles near Southampton, to Sandy Hook lightship off the American shore, in a little less than seven days, is unparaI- leled in naval history. We have be- come so accustomed to hearing of phe- nomenal bursts of speed of warships of all naval powers on measured mile runs, only to be told in almost the same breath that these speeds are never really counted upon as possible of attainment in subsequent regular work, that a. seven-day trip across the Atlantic by any man-of-war was, un- til now, considered quite beyond the realms of likelihood. Trial trip rec- ords, it must be remembered, are made with the ship fresh from the dry dock, with a clean bottom, picked crew, picked coal, and the best of weather, and with every possible human pre- caution taken to get, in the short per- iod of four hours, the utmost that is in the vessel in point of speed-something far above the average. Once through the trial, the ship, which has thus at- tained the rank of 22-knot vessel, mayhap, often settles down to a plane of comparative mediocrity, and is not apt to be again called upon to practical ly demonstrate that she was at one time capable of doing that with which she has been credited by the official records.
 In the machinery of the modern fight ing ship much has been sacrificed to a
