but there ought to be some way to make
his confederates share the punishment.
Every thug present, whether a thug
by profession or instinct-and that
means all who witnessed the combat
should be put behind the bars for
time, until they tame down, so that
their freedom may not be such a men
ace to peaceful and law-abiding citi-
zens. Little distinction should be made
between the principals and spectators
in such an affair, for those who are
not actually fighting are deferred chief
ly by physical limita ations, and are re-
ally responsible for all that occurs.
1t would not be so bad if the pugilists
would meet and pommel each other to
death, except that the spectacle is de-
moralizing and revolving to the COM
munity at large. 1t is time for the
authorities to make laws so drastic
that such contests will be practically
impossible. These brutes must be SUD

DOES AWAY WITH WAR.
The Arbitration Treaty Between I'm
Gle Sam aud Queen Vic.

The Arbitration Treaty Between I'm
Gle Sam aud Queen Vic.
The second week of the new year has
gone down as one of the most eventful
in the history of the United States, sig
nalizing the greatest stride of the century
in the direction of the progress of civil
ization. By the treaty of arbitration to
which Secretary of State Richard Olney
and Sir Julian Pauncefote, ambassador
of Great Britain and Ireland to the Unit
ed States, placed their signatures, war
fare between this country and the king
dom over which Queen Victoria holds
sway is made virtually impossible. An
event of so happy a nature should be
made the occasion of public rejoicing
throughout the land and in Great Britain.
While this treaty has nothing to do
with the settlement of the boundary dis
pute between Great Britain and NeneZue-
Ia, it is really result of the conferences
which were held by the members of the
commission which was appointed by Pres
ident Cleveland in that connection, with
prominent members of the British Gov
ernment. 1t is in a measure experimental.
1t is the first treaty of the kind which
has ever been made between this country
and any other and in fact is the first of
the kind in the history of the world. The
manner in which it will work will be
watched with the greatest interest by the
civilized world. Its Importance in the
line Of progress cannot be overestimated.
The treaty, which is for a term of five
years. provides for the arbitration of all
questions in difference between the two
contracting parties which have failed of
solution by diplomatic negotiation. All
claims of pecuniary nature amounting
to less than 100000 ($5OO.OOO) and
which do not involve the determination of
territorial claims are to be submitted to
an arbitration commission of three mem
bers, one of them appointed by each Of the
parties to the treaty and the third to be
elected by the two thus appointed, or. if
they cannot agree, in manner provided.
The award of a majority of such commits
sion shall be final.
All pecuniary claims which shall ex-
ceed 100000 ($5OO,OGO) and all other
matters in difference in respect to which
either of the high contracting parties shall

have rights against the other, provided
that such matters do not involve terrific
rial claims, shall be dealt with and de-
cided by a commission of five members,
two of whom shall be appointed by each Of
the high contracting parties and the fifth
in the same manner as in the commission
first mentioned.
A controversy which shall involve the
determination of the territorial claims
shall be submitted to a tribunal consist
ing of six members. three of whom shall
be judges of the Supreme Court of the
United States or judges of the Circuit
Courts, to be named by the President of
the United States. and three of them
judges of the British Supreme Court of
Adju6icature, or members of the Judicial
Committee of the Privy Council, to be
nominated by the Queen. 1t is provided
in this connection that in case the ques-
ton involves the territorial rights or
boundary of one of the States of the
United States or one of the provinces of
Great Britain, a judicial official of said
State or province may be substituted for
one of the judges. The award Of such

No Idea of Music

Colonel Burr, of Virginia, was Il
mighty foX-hunter. and loved the sport
beyond words. He owned a fine pack
of hounds, and, during the season,
thought of nothing but his hunters, his
dogs. and the weather. He was once
entertaining an army friend from Tex
as. whose ideas of hunting any animal
involved the use of firearms, and who
had never seen a fOx-hound. He had
been with difficulty persuaded to go
forth one morning with the colonel and
some friends to a meet, and they were
waiting impatiently for the hounds to
take the scent. Presently there burst
upon their listening ears the din of thir-
ty canine voices in full cry. The col
OneFs eyes cleaned, and, as he settled
his feet in the stirrups and stretched
his arm toward the yelping pack, he
cried: Major, listen to that heavenly
music"' The major pricked up his
ears for a second or two, and then re-
Piled: Il can't hear a thing. Those
dogs are making such a noise" The
colonel put his spur savagely into his
horses side and dashed away, leav-
ing his guest to his own devices.

Few people realize the magnitude TO
which the electrical industry has grown
in the United States. In electric light
ing alone there are more than 10000
plants in operation and the combined
capital employed is more than half a
billion dollars. At least $100000,000 is
invested in electrical appliances used
in mining and about $15,000,O00 in cleo
trio elevators. One Of the most impor-
tant developments in this branch of
science has been in the direction Of
electric railways, in which nearly n
billion dollars capital is employed. Al
together the combined capital invested
in all electrical enterprises in the Unit
ed States is $1,5O0,O00, exclusive of
that employed in the manufacture OF
electrical machinery, which is at least
half a billion more.

For Advertising Purposes,

Experiments have lately been made
in Switzerland with a view to putting
the beautiful lakes of that country to
some practical account.
Hitherto these waters have been adj
mired merely because of their natural
beauty, but now some enterprising
business men have devised a scheme
by which they may be made useful for
advertising purposes.
The plan is to paint the words of
the advertisement in big white letters
on a black background.
When sunk and securely held at the
bottom of the lake, the advertisements
is perfectly legible, the reflection of the
light on passing through the water
bringing the words near the surface.

periments that have been made have

Some opponents Of the bicycle have
based their objections to it on the score
Of morality and there have been Sc
rious discussions Of the subject, "Is
bicycling immoral?" The premises of
their argument have dealt with the
influence of wheeling costumes and
the association Of bicyclers on the sex
es. But it appears that the bicycle
may be proved an immoral agent on
other grounds. A man in a Philadel-
phia court charged with forging his
employers name said that he had COM
mitted the crime in order to buy
wheel. The judge in passing sentence
took occasion to say that an astonish-
ing amount Of crime had grown ou,
Of the bicycle trade and that "at least
one-third Of the business of the court
was made up by persons who were led
astray in some way by the bicycle"
Whereupon the complainant in the
case said: 81 can sit in my front win
dow and count dozens of persons rid
ing merrily past who owe me grocery
bills" Certainly, during the summer
and fall the criminal courts of the
large cities have many cases relating
to bicycles, mostly thefts. Men and
women alike are charged with stealing
wheels, sometimes to sell again. but
oftener for their own use. The police
of New York are kept busy hunting
tp stolen wheels, and there are several
insurance companies which do fine
business by guaranteeing owners
against thefts. There are many lock
devices and safety chains for wheels
left exposed while the riders are other
wise engaged, but none of these seems
to prevent the thieves from making
way with the attractive vehicle.

award made by less than the prescribed
majority, the award shall also be final
unless either power. within three months
after the award has been reported, pro-

case the award shall be of no validity. In
such a case or when the members shall
be equally divided, there shall be no re-
course to hostile measures of any descrip-
ton until the mediation of one or more
friendly powers has been invited by one or
both of the high contracting parties.
Territorial claims include all other
claims involving questions of servitude,
rights of navigation and access, fisheries,
and all rights and interests necessary to
he control and enjoyment of the terri
0ry claimed by either of the parties of the
treaty.
If in any case the nominated bodies
designated to decide upon questions which
do not involve territorial disputes shall
fail to agree upon any umpire as provided
in the treaty the umpire shall be appoint
ed by the King of Norway and Sweden.
Either of the high contracting parties,
however, may give notice to the other
that, by reason of material changes in
constitutions as existing at the date of
the treaty it is of the opinion that a sub
stitute for his majesty shall be chosen.
The high contracting parties shall at
once proceed to nominate substitute for
the King of Sweden and Norway; and the
same shall hold good in the event that he
at any time desires that a substitute shall
be appointed. In the case Of the death,
absence or incapacity to serve Of any ar
bitrator or umpire another arbitrator or
umpire shall Immediately be appointed In
his place in the manner provided for the
original appointment.
