Many of the methods employed to
release Mrs. Maybrick, though we'll
meant, have not been well calculated
to accomplish that end. Especially has
this been the case with many of the Pc.
titions and memorials from this country,
representing that she was wrongfully
convicted, that the judge who. tried her
was crazy and that she was victimsof
British 4 prejudice. Human nature in
England is q good deal like human ma
ture on this side of the water. We should
not be likely to be fayorably influenced
by the kind of representations that have
been made to the British government in
this case. But lately more discreet methods
have been used in her behalf, and the
prospect now is that they will be sue
oessful.

The theory that accident on the New
York Central was caused by dynamite
seems to rest on no evidence whatever,
and its extreme improbability ought to
prevent its getting any credence until
some proof is offered better than re-
mark made by roadmaster that the hole
in the embankment looked like holes
made by dynamite. Men do not wreck
trains without some strong motive.
Revenge is suggested in this case, but
revenge upon whom or upon what?
Robbery would be more plausible
reason, but there were no signs Of robbers
before or after the accident happened.

The New York railroad officials are
manifesting anything but friendly dis
position towards wheelmen. 1t is said
that they have notified station masters to
receive no bicycle with lamp, bell
cyclometer, tool bag or other attachment
as baggage unless the owner signs paper
releasing the road from all damages that
may be done to bicycle or attachment.
The railroad authorities contend that the
attachments named are not portions of
the bicycle proper, but are bought separ-
ate and distinct from the wheel This is
drawing it pretty fine and these hair
splitting distinctions may in the end
lnure. not to the benefit of the railroads
concerned.
