EXPERIENCED mathematicians,
such as those who make out the NOR
tality tables of insurance companies,
for instance, ought at once to investi-
gate the strange problem hidden in
the news that there are only IA sur
viving veterans of 1912, but 3.2S7
widows drawing pensions based on
service rendered in that war. 1t is
natural that there should he more,
perhaps that there should be many
more, widows than veterans, for some
people who fight for their country do
get killed, while as few die of grief as
of love, but in the present instance
the ratio does seem somewhat exces-
sive. Men who participated in the
struggle of 1912 could hardly have
been much under 20 years of age in
that year, and most of the marrying
by survivors would naturally be done
within the next thirty years. That
brings us up to 1912 which is "a good
Nslaiile ago.

Baltimore, Dec. 15.-It is announced
that on Dec. 20 the York River line Of
steamers win return to the old rates
from Baltimore to Richmond, in force
before the rate war between the South
ern railway and the Seaboard Air line
began. At the same time the Old Bay
line will withdraw its service to Rich
mond, established in competition with
the York River line. The York River
line will also cease to compete for Nor
folk business against the Old Bay line,
and will handle only the through busi-
ness of the Southern railway from that
city The changes are part of the
peace arrangements between the South
ern railway and the Seaboard Air line.

The anthracite coal trade is stagnaut. The
demand for coal at present is light. The
competition to force sales of coal by cutting
prices has resulted only in further demoral-
izing what little business was going without
corresponding result in increased sales
The mider woather of the past several days
has also had an unfavorablo influence on the
anthracite trade, causing a considerable de-
crease in tha consumption of fuel Last
week, for the first time in many months,
several of the larger mining and carrying
companies openly made an additional cut in
pric of from 10 to 25 cents or moreiper ton,
not only on coal from tidewater shipment but
also for line and city delivery. This was
followed by the unofficial, though apparently
authentic, announcement that all the an
thracite producing and Transporting com
panies had agreed to restrict their output
radically during the remainder of this month
in the hope that prices will advance. The
stable has been locked after the horse has
gone.

BRITISH opposition to the anneNa-
tion of Hawaii by the United States,
manifested perhaps more vigorously
here than in Great Britain itself. is
not in the least to be wondered at. 1t
has its origin in the very same causes
that make such annexation desirable.
That is not to say the British oppose
it just for the sake of opposing an
American scheme, or that this coun-
try should persist in it just for the
sake of spitiug Great Britain BY
no means. Such motives would Ne
unworthy of any people superior in
civilization to the Hottentots. The
fact is, however, that there is a grow
ing rivalry between the interests of
the United States and of Great
Britain in the Pacific Ocean The
acquisition Of Hawaii would materi-
ally advance the interests of the
United States over those of Great
Britain. That is why this nation
wants it, for its own good, rather
than for any other nations harm, and
that is why Great Britain opposes it,
In order to keep herself from being
outstripped, rather than to prevent
the prosperity of any one else.

THE real facts of the court martial
OF Captain Lowering at Fort Sheridan
near Chicago, were not made a part
of the proceedings Private Ham
mond was actually punished severely
before trial, a procedure not war
ranted in any kind of action The
sentence of the court itself could not
have been more brutal than the act
OF dragging the soldier down stone
steps and along the tagging stones,
bruising his head and shoulders.
There can be no doubt that the
officers at Fort Sheridan are capable
OF delivering and executing brutal
sentences against privates the record
OF this fort, during its brief career,
is sufficiently scandalous to warrant
that much. But it is certainly
stretching brutality to administer
such punishment before a trial. We
hope the last of this incident is not
vet. The officers at Fort Sheridan
should be scattered far and wide
among other posts and "A decent
roster established therein at once.
Meantime, Secretary Alger will ac-
cept assurances of the distinguished
consideration of his countrymen for
making matters as hot for Captain
Lowering as possible. Undoubtedly
the War Secretary will further forget
to promote Lowering during the pres
ent administration and in other ways
occasionally remind the officer Of his
never to be forgotten disgrace and
the rights of the private soldier in
Uncle Sans employ.

New York, Dec, 15.--Charles Zanoh
the barber who has been held on sus-

of the many r-Cple on whose lives he
obtained insurance, was arraigned in
police court yesterday on the charge
of homicid in causing the death of
Jennie Sumner, his fourth and last wife,
by the use of poison or some other
means. The death certificate gave
typhoid fever as the cause. The cursory
investigation made by the experts
proved that typhoid fever was not the
direct cause Of death.
