THE BOYS STILL MISSING.
CHARLES JEUETT AND JAMES
MITCHELL HATE NOT RETURNED.
MAY Have Been Abducted by Tramps SO
Thinks Mrs. Jewett and Upon This
Theory Police are Working Case.

Charles Ernest Jewett and James
Mitchell the two small boys, who dis
appeared from their homes on Monday.
have not been heard from or seen since
that time.
An account Of their sudden and very
mysterious departure was published in
yesterdays Times.
The solution to this strange case
which is in some respects similar to the
famous Charley Ross abduction hangs
on the motive that induced the boys 10
leave their homes. or on the motive that
NAV have actuated their kidnappers
AT present the facts in the case seem
TO point to abduction. This Is the the
DRY that Mrs. Jewett and Mrs. Bullock
entertain. and IT is the one that presents
itself as most plausible TO the police OH
GERS of the Third District.
At present there is no clue in the pos
session OF the police that throws any
light upon whether the abduction was
a forcible one, and the only fact so Tar
known. II il is 10 be relied upon, goes TO
show that the boys were induced 10 ac-
on pany the English tramp by promises
and persuasion.
MAY HAVE BEEN AT COLUMBIA.
On Tuesday night. Mr.. w. p. Field, the
brother-in-law OF Mrs. Jewett telegraph
ed 10 Columbia 10 know II the boys had
been seen there. The operator at that
place replied that two boys. answering
the descriptions of young Jewett and
Mitchell had been seen lounging around
the town in company with a tramp. who
had a very forid complexion. Before
Mr.. Field could communicate with Chief
Howard. to take steps for the arrest OF
the man md boys. the night operator
had come on duty. and when questioned
he had neither seen or heard OF the boys.
This strengthens the theory entertain
ed by the police that the man took the
bows away fror, Columbia, and probably
went towards Scottsville.
No news of the boys was to be had from
that place yesterday.
When applied to. Chief Howard gave
Mr.. Field the permission 70 use his name
to secure the arrest of the youths.
TWO VERY ANXIOUS WOMEN.
II ever two women have spent anxious
hours. those two women are Mrs. Jewett
and Mrs. Bullock.
All day Yesterday they were unceasing
I'm their efforts to get some news OF the
absent ones.
As the hours passed by. and they heard
nothing. their grief increased until it
was almost unbearabe Their fears. lest
personal violence may have been done
TO the boys. al times got the better OF
their power to be calm. and the tear
stained cheeks and suppressed sobs told
OF tho conflict of anguish going on In
their hearts
Kind friends and reatives have gently
ministered to them, and while their acts
of kindness have been appreciated. they
have been powerless 10 dispel the anxiety
,ha, possesses the unfortunate women.
AID FROM THE POLICE.
Mrs. Jewett told me yesterday that
,.aptain Hulce and his officers had done
everything In their power to aid her.
..It n true this II no case OF robbery"

Practice of Vivisection.

Editor The Times.
Sir,-I was glad to see in your paper
of July 1st an article which stated among
other things that ViviSectiOn has "a de-
cded tendency to harden and brutallZe
those who practice II. | am not officially
an NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., and yet l nave
looked into this question pretty thorough
ly, and should like TO give some of my
conclusions to your readers.
Is Vivisection natural or an unnatu-
raj practice? Nivisectors tell us II Is
natural. natural that all should wish 10
prolOng life-that all should seek TO do
1t in any possible way. a Stole says that,
with respect TO that which happens con-
formable to nature, we ought not TO blame
men, for they do nothing wrong, except
invOlmtarily." If then vivisectiOn be a
natural practice. we must suppose either
that Ii Is not wrong, or that the viVisec-
tors Vivisect involuntarily. Were we TO
take a look at the inside of viVisecuonal
laboratory. and see the cages provided Tor
animals. the animals which I'LL some OF
the cages; the torture troughs, the hold
ers. the vivisectional instruments. and the
arrangements for artificial respiration,
we should doubt if a vivsectional expert
ment could be an involuntary act, but
were We unhappily TO assist at one or
these experiments, and see the Ylvlsector
busy for hours, cutting nerves, tying
arteries. cauterizing wounds chat the ami
NAL under experiment might not bleed to
DEATH, and in most painstaking set OF
preliminary fortunes, fitting his victim
for the browning agony OF a blood pres
sure experiment. or one involving the pas
sage of an electric current over "a nerve.
we should feel positive that no vivisection
could possibly be of an involuntary ma
ture. Does this force us to the conciu-
sion that Vivisection is not wrong? Is
IL no wrong to take an animal whose very
helplessness appeals TO our humanity, and
dsregarding its sufferings operate upon
il as one might on so much clay? Let
us rather conclude that vivisection is un-
natural; that IL is against that higher ma
ture which differentiates us from the poor
brute. that IL is unnatural to seek our
own good through the agony OF another.
even though that other may only be
cat or dog.
Truly yours.

railroad Is to be partly depressed and partly ele-
waited. No one will dispute that it would be bet
ter II 1t could be placed below the surface the en-
tire distance. but the additional cost involved
renders that solution of the problem impossible.
TGe Commissioners appointed by Mayor Wurs-
ter TO consider the question studied it carefully
from all points of view and the conclusions ar
rived at have commended themselves cordially
to all but handful of citizens who object to
having an elevated road in front Of their prop
erty. They do not seem to realize that such a
road will be great improvement on the present
surface tracks. Furthermore, Atlanticave. IS
so broad that an elevated road in the middle OF
it will be less Objectionable than In almost any
other street of the city. This avenue, by the
way. is n thoroughfare Of great possibilities. 1t

In connection with the Atlantic-ave. improve
ment there is another scheme of much I'M
portance. We refer to the tunnel by which IT
is proposed TO connect the Brooklyn terminus OF
the Long Island Railroad with the heart OF the
business district of New-York City. A syndicate
Of capitalists was formed several weeks ago to
build this tunnel and there is no reason to doubt
that the announcement then made was put forth
in good faith. If the plan is carried out real
rapid transit will he supplied to Long Island, ms
trains are to be run through the tunnel and
along Atlantic-ave. by electricity. bringing ia
maica within fifteen or twenty minutes Of Cort-
landt-st This undertaking is, therefore, second
only in importance to the underground rapid
transit plan for Manhattan Island.
