Metropolitan Hysteria.

There is something unwholesome in the
furore that New York is making over the
Italian girl who was last week acquitted
on her second trial for the killing of her
lover In city where crime of this kind
Is common enough to pass ordinarily with
out attention, Marie Barberfs case DOS
sessed no especial features worthy of un-
usual comment. save that there was a gen.
eral belief that her first trial was unfair
and her conviction led to the prospect of
the execution Of a woman by electricity for
the first time in the history of the state.
Something in the situation appealed to the
hysterical element that is always present
In such great population as that of New
York. with the result that the case was
taken up by the people, SO to speak and

dons- The records of the criminal courts

with this one. including the plea of in
sanity and the demonstration of abnormal
mental conditions; yet for some peculiar
reason on the first trial, even, the case at
tracted unusual attention and on the sec

matter was practically boundIess. Now
that the girl has been acquitted, she has
become almost an idol of the morbid

with minute detail belonging to the most
eNaited state OF royalty, and she is over
wneimed with lavish attentions almost to

Mr. Hanna Out of once.

Nothing occurred during Mr.. Hanna's
stay IN Washington that threw any light
on the rumors connecting his name with
the Treasury portfolio. The idea that he
might succeed Mr. Carlisle was based on
his large capacity as a man of business
ard his intimacy with the President-elect
1t has been urged. however, that Mr..
Hanna would be able to render his chief
and his party a more important service
out OF office than in office. A special post.

would pin Mr.. Hanna down to the duties
of that post He would have no time left
for anything else. And especially would
this be true in the case of the Treasury
department, where for the coming four
years at least the chief executive officer
will have his hands full. The putting into
execution of a new tariff law, and very
kind. will be arduous task in itself
And those who hold that Mr.. Hanna
should be free-handed find their opinion
strengthened by the expressed determina-
ton of the silver men to keep up the fight
for free coinage. This, 1t is insisted, calls
for the keeping up of the fight on the sound
money side-at least for a very watchful
survey of the situation right along-and
for such duty Mr.. Hanna is thought to he

fort on his part and as a member of the

Modern Crusading.

Evidence accumulates that the crusading
spirit of mankind is not extinct. The latest
demonstration of its existence is presented
by the proposition just made by certain
citizens in Colorado to organize an Ameri-
can army to aid the Cubans in their strug-
gle for independence. Contemptuous Of the
ordinary conveniences Of travel, the pro-
jectors of the scheme plan to march the
band of volunteers across country, with the
notion that they will attract other would-be
fighters, but apparently forgetting that a
mid-winter march Of fifteen hundred or two
thousand miles Is q serious undertaking.
Coxey's experience ever in the spring was
enough to dishearten sny leader. On the
heels Of the Denver idea comes an an
Eouncement from Chicago that Wong Chin
Foo. Celestial agitator, is preparing to
draw upon this same spirit to organize an
army Of five thousand ''f1ghting Irishmen''
to help MIN free China and establish a
republic. AS an incentive to the Irishmen
he agrees that as soon as the little job he
has first In mind is turred off he will send
5000 fighting Cinnamon" to free Ireland.
This is something unique In the way of
reciprocity in crusading.

Temporary Tracks,

The railroad companies whose lines termi
rate in Washington are now knocking nj
the doors of Congress for fayors. They
want the privilege of laying extra tracks
and siiings for the storing of trains during
the inauguration rush and through the
commissioners they are asking for legisla-
uon- They will probably get It, for expert-
ence has shown that the present trackage
or the roads Is utterly Inadequate for
handhpg the crowds that pour into the
capital from all sectors. 1t is not that
the crowds are SO great that with modern
terminal facilities here the companies could
hot manage their accommodation. With
anything approaching a decent terminal
equipment there would be no trouble what
ever. but 1t SO happens that the roads run
ming into Washington are notoriously lack

Sln ashtng Records.

Record-breaking in athletic sports con-
tinues so steadily that the question Of when
and where the process will end becomes
Of marked interest. Seldom do new achieve
ments exceed those of the past 50 greatly
as did the results of the six-day bicycle
race that closed Saturday night in New
York. in which the record was not only set
aside, but over-topped by over 800 miles. or
nearly 20 per cent. and the best previous
accomplishment in this line was bettered
by twelve men. including the man who held
the record. Ordinarily these fresh
records are but a small fraction higher,
and thus the development of the perfect
athlete in this race against time and space
goes on gradually. To make jump of ~
Ier cent i'll three years, therefore, under
practically similar general conditions. is a
significant event. 1t means that there has
been an equivalent improvement in bicycleS
in the interim, or a proportionate better
ment in the methods of training, or both.
That the achievement is not due wholly
to the human conditions seems demon
strated by the fact that majority of the
men who finished the race went ahead CT
the record. The answer to the undruln
presented by the result is probably to be
found not only in. the improvement in the
machines, which are being steadily per
fected. but also in their gradual cheapening
iii price, which brings q, rapidly increasing
number of men within reach of the chance
to ride. Perhaps. too. there is in progress
a steady development Of physical conditions

of the wheel and giving tangible evidence
of the promised evolution of fast pedal
