Think We Need a War.

Some of the San Francisco daily pa pers and a few sensational preachers think this country needs a war. They tell us that in times of peace a nation
 becomes enervated and lose that cour- age and stamina which alone make it able to resist the destroying influences of peace. civilization and Christianity. We wonder where such people were ed ucated We wonder what books they have read. We wonder what they know of the history of their own coun- try. There has during the late war talk been an exhibition of unpatriotic ignorance on the part of some blatant professors of new-fangled Americanism that would hardly be excusable in an

ANOTHER LEPER FOUND.
Disease Discovered by China
town Guide.

M. Levey, a Chinatown guide, while es-
corting a party of tourists through China
town yesterday afternoon came across
Chinese afflicted with leprosy. The un-
fortunate sufferer, whose name is Ell Kim
On, was hidden away in one of the dingy
rooms of the hospital connected with the
Yung Wo Association at 726 Sacramento
street. The disease, which had fastened
itself on the young Chinese about year
ago, is now in an advanced stage.
Mr.. Levey called the attention of the
Chinese in charge of the building to the
true character of the disease from which
their countryman was suffering and urged
them to notify the Health Office. They
finally consented to this and the victim of
the dread disease was taken to the pest
house. Ell Kim On is only % years of age
and in spite of the ravages of the disease
is q pleasant looking, intelligent Chinese.
He has for number of months been en-
ployed on the fruit farms in the vicinity of
Courtland, in the Sacramento Valley.
The rapid progress of his affliction COM
PEELED him to give up working and come
to this City that he might depend upon
charity.
He reached this City day before yester-
day and Immediately went to the Chinese
Consulate and from there to the Yung Wo
Hospital, where he was discovered by the
Chinatown guide.

SHIELDS AND THEIR DEVICES.
A Topic That Is Wrapped in OBJ

scurity.
The origin of the devices on shields is
an obscure topic. and it may be doubted
whether they can be regarded as ANU
let's. The shield of the Zulu is "blank
enough" like Sir Tors; that of the
Australian bears merely the herring
bone or other purely decorative pattern.
While the red Indian herald commented
on by the forefather of Gibbon, who
had been Blue Mantle) carves the
totem of dead chief reserved on
his grave pillar, nothing in Greek shields
suggests to US the bearing of hereditary
arms. On heroic shields, in the pictures
on vases, we see crests, the serpent (like
that OF Colbert on his book bindings), the
bullshea6, the three legs (as in the arms of
the Isle OF Man), and many other devices
but these bearings were conferred by
the fantasy OF artists in the fifth century
b. q. We remember no bearings on the
shields presented in Mycenean art.
A famous passage in 'The Seven Before
Thebes" represents the heroes as wearing
personal arms of their own choice: as
Jeanne dare not using the arms granted
to her, wore "argent, dove, on an azure
field, " with the motto, "De par lie Roy du
Ciel." There seems to be no trace of hered-

Mr.. Eiworthy proves, have a truly her
aldic appearance in figure and color. Only
we are not convinced that the heraldic ami
mails were originally 'avertive" amulets,
and it is hasty, we think, to suggest that
the Greek badges on shields were
| adopted at the special or separate pleasure
of the individual chieftains, and the de-
vice may be said to represent his clan
totem.
Here are two extraordinary theories: If
Greek had clan totem he could not Sc.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, Jan. 21.-
Charles Aultensperger, general manager
of the Seyfert & Wise Lumber Company's
branch at Minden, Iowa, was arrested this
evening on a charge of forgery.
From the facts disclosed Aultensperger
is alleged to have played game of fraud
on gigantic scale. Aultensperger's plan
seems to have been to put into his pocket
all the cash he received from the farmers
and then forge their names to promissory
notes.
These notes he would send to the home
office. When due they would be returned
to- him for collection and if hard pressed
he would dig up part of the money and
forge a new note for the balance. His
forgeries are said to approximate nearly
900 and his victims to number about all

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. 21.-The
building on Crown street, opposite Orange,
occupied by English d Mersick and two
other firms, was destroyed by fire this
morning, which started from an explo-
sion. Three lives were lost.
The killed: Joseph c. Hauser, machin-
ist, aged 3S; J. T. Toof, aged 40; Harbona
Stevens, aged q.
About 10:30 o'clock this morning Frank
P. Phlegar Sr., machine iobber, was ex-
perimenting with acetylene gas in his shop
on the second floor of the building.
Around him were a corps OF assistants,
and it is said that Phlegar was working
upon some sort of regulator to control the
delivery of the gas from steel cylinders in
which it is kept under high pressure,
sometimes as high as 1000 pounds to the
square inch. Definite knowledge as to the
conditions of the experiment cannot be
had, since the Phlegars positively refuse
to talk tonight, beyond acknowledging
the experiment.
It is known that when the explosion
occurred the Phlegars, father and son, and
five men were working about cylinder of
the gas One of the men, Joseph Hauser
a toolmaker, was killed by the explosion.
HIS right leg was torn off at the ankle and
the left leg horribly twisted. Charles Fox,
an engineer, himself cut and bleeding,
carried Hauser's body out of the building,
which was then rapidly being enveloped
in flames. Frank Phlegar Sr. was burned
and cut.
The force of the explosion tore down the
ceiling, and when the department came
ana before water was put on the fire which
resulted, a second explosion was heard.
This was doubtless aused by a small tube
of the gas.
When the explosion occurred, there were
fifty persons in the building, and m ad
rush to escape occurred. Happily all of
the employees escaped except the three
mentioned. 1t is said that Toof and
Stevens, both employed by E. j. Toof, re-
manned behind to lock a safe and secure
some valuable papers.
Soon after the fire broke out Stevens was
seen ut the window and was told to wait
moment and ladder would be sent up.
He answered that he would get some
things from his desk and throwing out
some books went away from the window.
He was not seen again.
How Toof met his fate is not known, but
he was found very near Stevens body.
II was not until 80 O'Clock, three hours
after the fire was under control, that the
bodies of Toof and Stevens were found by
the firemen, who were then clearing away
