Some Opinions.

The Judge evidently wanted an opportun-
ity to consider with care the various points
raised by the counsel on both sides in their
arguments on the motion to instruct the
jury to bring in verdict for the defend
ant-in other words, to take the case out
Of the tury's hands and let Mr.. Have
meyer 60 free. 1t was an important point,
and opinions varied greatly as to how the
court would dispose of it.
The judge wouldn't dare do it," remark
ed one of the special correspondents of a
New York paper.
And why not?"
Because Havemeyer Is too rich a man.
No judge would dare take the responsibility
in a case of such Importance and run the
gauntlet of the criticism that would follow"
He did not know Judge Bradley, that was
evident. If Judge Bradley satisfied that
the government had failed to make out a
case against the defendant he would take
the case from the jury without hesitation,
regardless of the fact that the defendant
is admitted to be one of the richest men
in the country.
Another New York staff correspondent"
also did not know Judge Bradley. He rep-
resents one of the famous yellow" Jour-
nails which will print picture of anything.

HOW ENGLISH is TAUGHT.

Colleges Scored for Their Methods of
Presenting Our Literature.
Probably no educational problem has
ever been attacked with so light heart
or has accomplished more harm to real
cultivation than what is known as eng
ish" in our college departments. I'm
der this compendius heading is gath
cred an attempt to teach students how
to use English as a tool, how to know
English as a tongue and how to APP
rreciate English literature. The prac-
teal result, as the study is carried on
in a large number of institutions, is
that the student is Disguised with the
greater monuments of the tongue, ac-
quires conceptions of fantastic prec1-
sion in it. and learns just enough of its
pbilology to leave him with the impress
sion that he knows something.
Scarcely any of our colleges have
really grasped the necessity of making
vivid to students the great monuments
Of literature and treating the rest as
subordinate. Instead, we have our uni
versities studying and often giving
prizes for the study of second, third and
fourth-rate authors, which are dug up
and written about and treated as OF
consequence. They are, as a part of
the teXtual study of the history of
literature; they are not as soul dis
,.pline. Life is short and a college
course is shorter. 1t is more necessary
IN it to discipline a man into admiration
Of the great men than to give him 4
minute acquaintance with the facts
about small men or the details of lam
guage. Neither is there any path to
style SO sure, so subtle or easy as that
unknown path which the lion has trod

MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSION.
A London Train Blown Up and Ten People

LONDON, April 27.-A tremendous ex-
plosion occurred on the underground
railway yesterday as train filed with
men from the city was making its usu-
al stop at Aldersgate station. The
glass roof of the station was blown
out and the platform was strewn
with debris. Many of the gas lights
in the waiting rooms and on the plat
form We're extinguished, and the sta
ton was left in Semi-darkneSS. a gen
eral panic ensued. When comparative
quiet had been restored it was found
that firSt-clasS coach had been COM
pletely wrecked and that its occupants
were lying about manned and bleed
ing. Ten of the injured were found to
be in precarious condition. A num-
Der of persons who We're standing on
the platforms We're also hurt. The
cause of the explosion is not known, but
it is believed to have been the result of
an accumulation of gas which became
ignited in some way. Many persons,
however, believe that the disaster was
not due to accident, but was caused by
the explosion of bomb which had
been placed in the station with the in
tention of wrecking it.
