The New Orleans Picayune says 1t was
quite cheeky in Mobile to announce a
quarantine against New Orleans when
all the circumstances are considered
These circumstances, our contemporary
SAYS, are simply as follows ocean
Springs, where COO cases of suspicious
fever have occurred in the past SIX
weeks, is on the railway between Now
Orleans and Mobile. ocean Springs is
iifty-eight miles from Mobile and eighty
four miles from New Orleans. During
all those six weeks there has been con-
slant and unrestrained communication
between Mobile and the said Ocean
Springs. When the stampede occurred
on Sunday from Ocean Springs many OF
the fleers went to Mobile. If there Is
any yelow-fever in the cases-and the
fact is doubted by many-Mobile can
scarcely have escaped, and, therefore,
the act of declaring quarantine against
New Orleans is an unwarranted piece OF
impudence.
As to the quarantine against New Or
leans, declared by Galveston, the Plca-
yune gays: 1t is quite as unwarranted,
land is doubtless due more to CONNER
Qial than to sanitary considerations, as
New Orleans has but little direct COM
munication with the port of Galveston.
Furthermore, the Pcayune proceeds to
say that the so-called dengue prevails at
San Antonio, Galveston, and many other
places in Texas.

Poor Mrs. Creepy. What misery
has been hers during the past
two days. She was not only doomed
to lose two beloved children at one fell
stroke, but to hear them screaming for
her to come to their aid. while she was
powerless to open the door of the house
in which they were burning to DEATH
Mothers, put yourself in her place!
Fathers, think of it! Mr.. and Mrs.
Creery both deserve our sympathy; but
she more than he, because in the few
minutes of her unayailing struggle TO
free her little ones, she must have lived
a life of heart-bursting agony, and be-
cause the recollection of such a tragedy
cannot be easily effaced. May the
Heavenly Father make up for her with
happiness in another world all her suf-
ferings In this.

On Memory of Boy. Drowned, Aged H.
indianapolis Journal)
Across the water drear, with force un-
spent,
Cometh the old unanswered question,
Why?
The universal air is filled and rent
With woful voices mat forever cry
Against the judgments Of the law OF
Fate
Forgive the doubtful is it love or
hate?
With us always the question and the
doubt
The darkness deepening as life grows
old
We wonder Why, and longing look
about
Yet still the dead their sacred silence
hold:
We cry to them-they answer not again
And love is twice tried in the throes of
pain.
All prayer seems useless as all quest is
vain,
Save that at last we shall be satisfied
Somewhere and some time there is end OF
pain,
Where love will live forever and abide
Somewhere and some time there Is perfect
rest.
The answer TO the doubt Is, God knows

Colonel James ID. Brady. Collector of
Internal Revenue for this district, is
quoted as saying that Secretary -of-the
Treasury Gage notified him by letter that
he fully endorsed his (Bradys) course
in the matter of appointments; also, that
Mr.. Gage told him some things per-
sonally," in Washington, Wednesday.
The Baltimore Suns Washington cor
respondent sustains Colonel Brady to
tho extent Of saying that the Collector
claims to have acted Gin strict ac-
cordance with the law regulating the
appointment Of deputy collectors, and
his action was sanctioned by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury at the time" But
here, to paraphrase a celebrated ut
terance of the late Roscoe Conk-
ling, Mr.. Gage, it would seem,
turned his back on Colonel Brady.
Continuing, the Sun correspondent says:
"Mr Gage Is said TO be somewhat in
censed at the evident attempt to evade
the civil service law in the appointment
of new deputies"
May be Mr.. Cages feelings regarding
this matter-the violation of the spirit
of the civil service law-were expressed
to Colonel Brady, and were the some
things" Mr.. Gage told him personally.
AT any rate, 1t is to be hoped that the
Secretary's anger will lead to testing the
question whether civil service IS a reality
or the miserable humbug we suspect 1t
of being.

Montreal, Quebec, Fanruary, 49,
a case involving the secrets Of the
confessional is likely to come before
the courts in few days, About three
years ago the jcwclry establishment
OF NJ. Cochenthaler was robbed Of
several thousand dollars worth Of
jcwelry. The Dominion Burglary and
Guarantee company with whom Mr..
Cochenthalcr was lusIrcd, paid to the
latter $2T00.
a few days ago n man named Keir-
nan was arrested on suspicion Of the
theft. Herman subsequently made II
confession in which he ACKNOWLEDGED
that he had committed the burglary.
His conscience pricklng him severely
lie made II full confession to Father
Sorln. The latter at first advised him
t. return the goods TO Mr.. CUChentha-
Ter but on te'Lg Informed tnat tat
person had peen recouped by guaran-
tee company, he decided, so Kierian
says, that the goods must be scld and
the proceeds dev voted to charity. Ac-
cording to the prisoners story lie then
took the goods to Father Sorin. who
rafiled them at various prices, devot-
ing the proceeds to several schemes
connected with the churcn.
The guarantee company wants Its
money back, and has instructed
Messrs. Greensheld & Greershleld to

in the six-day bicycle race yesterday
was the collapse of both OF the leaders
yesterday evening. At about O'Clock
Grimm was taken from the track by
his manager, who claims that one of
the trainers had given the rider too
much brandy. About forty minutes
was required to get the Clevelander in
shape again. In the meantime Waller
had made gain of fifteen miles, and
was going at a good gait, when Grimm
returned to the track. Their relative
posotions remained nearly the same
until IL o'clock, when Waller was
taken sick with cramps in the stom-
ach and retired from the track. When
Waller resumed his work Grimm had
made up all but two miles Of his loss.
At midnight the score was: Waller
1898, Grimm 1881. Schock 1920, Hall
