News of the Navy.

Orders have been given to put the dis
patch boat Dolphin out of commission at
the New York navy yard in order that she
may be thoroughly overhauled and put in
condition for active service next spring.
The Dolphin is one of the Roach cruisers,
the pioneers of the new navy. and cost
originally $4,000 She has been in con-
slant service for about twelve years, and
has cost the government less for repairs
than almost any other ship in the navy. 1t
is estimated that 1t will cost 5000 and
take four months time to put her in COM
plete repair.
The Navy Department is contemplating
some joint maneuvers between the North
Atlantic squadron and the torpedo boat
fotilla probably off Brunswick, Ga, in the
course of a few weeks. The squadron is 60
ing southwark that far. and as the f1otilla is
now in the vicinity the opportunity to make
some trials of the torpedo boats as assaii-
ants of battleships and as blockade runners
is good.

stimulates a desire for better home sur

beauty Of natural scenery has much to do
with mental healing. Philosophers and

the poor from sitting tenements. This

A dispatch from Havana says: The new
secretary general of Cuba, Dr. Jose Con-

conservative, Senior Francisco de las Santos

much commented upon and has had a very
unfavorable effect among the Spanish resi-

1t is believed here that there will be
great excitement in Spain as soon as the

found upon captured insurgents and re-
ceived from Spain recently indicate that
the insurgents were recently advised to
keep up the struggle for three months

1t is charged that Senior Dupuy de LONE
and DR.. Congosto are to blame for the
spread in the United States of the senti-
ment in favor of autonomy, and it is even
alleged that they have induced American
newspapers to advocate this policy.
There is much excitement here at pres
ent over the news OF the landing of an
other filibustering expedition by the Daunt-

cans have, consequently, been increased in

ing by the suspension Of the trial, and
when the case Is opened next week, and
Mrs. Mack goes on the stand, he will con-
front her with list of murders in which
she is alleged to have been implicated.
Since the confessions as to her part in
the killing of the bath rubber in the Wood
side cottage men have been at work ferret
ing out every detail of her life with re-
newed energy. Many new facts have been
disclosed and new witnesses found, who
will testify that she crushed out other HUI
man lives as calmly and with less trouble
than the affair of Woodsde cottage.
That Mrs. Mack was the direct cause of
the death of a young woman who had been
the sweetheart of wealthy New Yorker
is now stated by Mr.. Howe, who asserts
that he intends to make the full story
known at the new trial. The second Jury
is likely to be made up principally of farm
ers who live in the backwoods of Long
Island, and who do not read the newspa-

"Official murder" 1t is the most
diabolical development of race
hatred, taking the form of devilish
ferocity, ever chronicled in this

sembling it in criminality, in any
race riot in the south, can be cited.

product of the coal barons' mOnstrous

IL Memphis they have a law for
the punishment of "circulatOrs of
false rumors," and have recently
enforced it with fine effect. For
several days in Memphis you could
hear all sorts of stories about yellow
fever cases right in the city, and it
kept the officials and the newspapers
busy denying these false rumors.
Finally they began to hold every
man responsible for what he said,
and to arrest and fine every one who
circulated a false report, and as soon
as the liars discovered that they had
to pay for the privilege, they be-
came virtuous through necessity
and held their tongues. What a
wholesome law this isl What a
deal of trouble and veXation its
proper enforcement would keep
down. To punish the "circulatOrs
of false rumors - Not the "origina-
tors, mind you, but the "clrcula-
tors" The originator generally
does his mean, dirty work in a
whisper and then straightway hides
in the dark, while forthwith his
twin brother, the "circulator" takes
it up and industriously spreads it.
The one is as contemplate, as mean,
as vicious and as dangerous as the
other, but the "circulatOr of false
rumors" is more easily caught than
the knave who starts the lie, and
therefore the law, to be practical,
should be directed against him.
The Memphis law is a good one,
and we commend it to the Reform
Board, for passage and for enforce
ment.
