"Of Signora De Pasqualrs singing too

Pasduali makes. She is young. beautiful
and simple hammered; in fact. she is every
thing that the poet and musician ascribcd

MORE TRUSTS.

Trust follows on top of trust. Comhi-
nation is the order of the day. Since the
passage of the Dingley bill, which should
be entitled II law to foster trusts. there
has been steady and rapid increase in
the number of these organizations. The
action of the courts in declaring uncon-
stitutionnl State statutes aimed at the
destruction Of such combinations is also
encouraging the formation of others.
One of the latest and largest of these
combinations which has been projected
aad is in process of formation is the wire
trust n combination of manufacturers
engaged in making insulated wires and
cables for electric purposes The news
is given out from New York, sand is no
doubt correct. that we have in the United
States more than 81 500, 0OO, 600 invested
in electric railways, and perhaps 81 600.
CO0,00O invested in electric light plants.
1t is estiM 4ted that the outlay of these
industries for wires and cables amounts
to millions of dollars annually. An effort
has bsen made previously at various
times to form such trust, but there was
no prospect of success until the Rapubli-
can party came into power and legislated
so rs to foster and protect such organiza-
tons. The Republican party is rapidly
making this a government of the trusts.

which extend west nearly to the coast of
Siberia are said to be one great series of
meadows, sufficient to supply the whole

AMERICAN SOCIAL REFORM.

We have received IL little six page pam
phiet on American Social Reform by Il.
j. Hoifacker, of New York, in which the
writer makes suggestions as to how such
refo'm can he brought about, among
them being an effort O have the homes of
Americans pure and happy, thus raising
the moral standpoint Of humanity; to re-
strict immigration and to Give employ
ment to bright boys in manual and ngri-
cultural schools at government expense.
The money nece ssary to build, euuip and
maintain such schools should, the writer
believes, be secured by passage of Il law

or both, and make an effort to raise the
standard of humanity. For the earnest
discussion and study Of the subject the
writer recommends that associations to
be known as "Orders of Humanity" be
established all over the United States.
That social reforms are needed n MANY
directions is not denied, but whether
they can be effected by hasty and rad-
cal departure from constitutional lines is
not just now apparent. The press, the
pulpit and all organizations which have
for their object the Improvement of ex-

making men purer and better. thus ee-

The people OF Richmond do not like the
idea of closing the public schools even
for fifteen days, and as the recent action
of the council in refusing to appropriate
$4,000 for the use of the schools was
equivalent to this, n great stir has been
created in the Democratic camp, with the
probability that the schools will be kept

LEPROSY.
selves astra,

The proceedings of the leprosy congress
at Berlin shows that this oldest,'and
worst scourge Of humanity is measurably
diminishing and that there is no reasc II
to fear any serious outbreak of it in CIV
lliZed countries. A few years ago reports
gained currency that leprosy was increas-
ing rapidly in India, South Africa, Aus
tralia and several islands OF the Pacific,
and more recently the disquietlne fact
was made known that no important
country and no great city 10 without it's
leper.
The investigations, however which
led to the discoveries as to its general
prevalence also showed that the number
afflicted with the incurahle malady was
gradually becoming less 1t has also been
practically established though infectious
the disease is not contagious, and while
no known remedy has been discovered, it,
is much better understood than ever be-
fore. The delegates to the Berlin cor
gress were we'll agreed that it Is a bacci-
lar disease with specific germ and is
communicable much in the same way as
cholera and typhoid fever, although there
are we'll authenticated cases showing
where leprosy has been transported by
insects, the most dangerous in this line
being the mosquito. Where one of these
insects bites a leper and next happens to
attack a noninfected person, the latter
may become inoculated with the germs
of the malady, especially il the mosquito
is killed while in the act of singing.
No satisfactory information could be
gained as to the spontaneous origin of the
disease, although some of the delegates
commended that it could be caused by an
almost exclusive diet of fish Since,
however, there is Tot so much danger in

To the Editor of The Times: Your
heading 'Was the Court Right" over

court of appeals on trial, though my only
OBJECT was to show how absnrdly unrea-
sonable it is to apply to the enforcement

parently based entirely upon another 1t
reminds me of the anecdote of the Lon

the tailor had placed in his window n
sign promising that readers should have
their ''coats pressed. while you wait, for

commas meant nothing to the eager and

eral offer and desired to wait for and ac-
cept the shillings. Our land purchasers
seem to have similarly construed SUI

benefit and applying to their objects and
