FOOLISH FEAR OF LIGHTNING

(From the New York Times.)
A current news item gives the results
of an investigation carried out by DR..
G.. Stanley Hall, president of Clark
university on the things that most ex-
cite fear in public.
OF the 29S classes of objects of fear
to which 1907 persons confessed, thun-
der and lightning lead all the rest, al
though in certain localities, as, for in
stance, those subject to cyclones, etc,
the fear of the latter predominates 1t
may be accepted as probably true that
thunderstOr1nS constitute the most pro-
nOunced source of fear with the major
ity of people, due, no doubt, to the al
ways impressive and not infrequently
enon.
Statistics of the United States wealth
er bureau show that for the four years
1S90-93 the deaths from lightning
numbered 784, or an average Of 1876
year.
Again H. F. Kretzer, of st. Louis,
found from the record of nearly 200
newspapers that for the five years 1883
'8S, there were 1000 deaths caused by
lightning, or an average of 205 a. year.
We doubt whether of the number of
deaths Classed as "accidentaI' in the
whole United States, any one group
can show so small a number. In New
York city alone over 200 people are
drowned ever year. while nearly $50
are burned or scalded to death, and
close to 500 persons meet their end by
falls of one kind or another. Compar-
ing the record of 200 lightning fatalities
for the whole country with the above
records for New York city, with it's
total of nearly 500 accidental deaths
every year, it will be seen how ground
less is the popular fear of lightning. 1t
IS a. survival, an inherited superstition
But there is another point in connec-
ton with this matter which ought to be
particularly comforting to city dwell
ers, albeit country jewellers may not be
affected in a like manner, and that is
that statistics show that the risk of
lightning is five times greater in the
country than in the city.

THE GREEKS ARE THE SAME
(From Harper's Weekly)

,
During that immense period of de-
cadence and dry rot; ending in the
chaos of Turkish rule, extending over
more than II centuries which trans
formed the Greek into a political slave
whose only mutation was that of a
change of masters. one might easily
fancy that the essential character of
the Greek would have changed.
Yet, strange to say, just as his Ian
guage is closer to the classic tongue
than modern English is to the English
of Chaucer, so the Helene, who has
lately been fighting with the Turk and
threatening to dethrone his king be-
cause victory has gone against him in
the field, is the natural child of the old
Athenian demos, which played such
childish tricks with the oyster shell
The same passionate patriotism, the
same volatile wrath. the same impul-
sive and splendid gaIlantry of temper
at times 50 reckleSSly cruel which sway
ed the ancient Anthenian, control the
moods of the contemporary Greek, for
Athens now gives tone to the whole of
Hellenic life, as it did of old
And in political matters this is even
a more patent fact than in other ways
for modern Athens is the capital of
Greek nation, the seat of the court and
BOule. and in close touch with all the
mainsprings of national government.
The enormous potential power of a
Greek mob in affecting the currents of
the most vital affairs is a force always
to be reckOned with

SHAW's GARDEN 70 OPEN
It Will Be Opened Sunday for the st.
Louis Public.

| ST. Louis, June Sunday the gates to
Shaw's garden will be thrown open to the
public for the first time this year. Yes
terday army of gardeners were at
work making more beautiful that won
derful garden. Owing to the cool spell
the season is little backward and Chief
| Gardener James Quincy would not per-
nit the setting of the more delicate plants
until yesterday, when the task was begun
in earnest By Sunday the place will
bloom with all the choice flowers of the
universe.
Mr.. Quincy calls Shaw's garden para
disc on earth.
Never before have seen the garden
so fresh and green as it is this summer"
said Mr.. Quincy.
When the big crowd comes Sunday I
am sure they will be pleased with every
thing. We have done a world of plant
ing this season and the cool weather fav-
ored it. Our success in that line is phe-
nOmenal and within another year we
will not only have recouped our losses
from the tornado but made valuable ac-
QUESTIONS to the species of plants and
trees destroyed"
1t has been too cold to get out the Roy
al water lily, but by Sunday it will oc-
cupy it's usual place in pond of water
heated to 50 degrees. 1t will require sew
eral weeks before the queen flower of
the Amazon" sends forth it's wonderful
bloom. But there are other lilies nearly
as beautiful in full bloom.
A rare orchid was received this week
from England. 1t cost the modest sum of
$3.50. The collection of orchids is one of
the best in the world and embraces over
800 varieties. Among them are many cur
iosities, which the general public has
dubbed the ''Dutchman's Pipe" "Lady's
Necklace" Wasp and Butterfly"

WORK FOR WIDOWS.

On. Y. Cor. PittSburg Dispatch.)
Unmarried women have long had a
grievance against widows as a1togeth-
er too fascinating to give maiden
charms a chance; but now there are
widows in this city who make a bust
ness of catering to the comfort of bach
elOrs in such fashion as cannot but dis
count some of the advantages of mat
rimOnial bliss. They make a specially

wear, hosiery, and so forth, making

Then, too, they make a speciality of
storing summer clothes during the win

and giving them an airing and inspec-
ton at intervals. It's a fine thing for
the bachelors and the widows and the

Why the Transvaal Inquiry Commit
tee is so Tolerant.

New York June 5.-There is widespread
comment in London, says the Sun cor
respondent. on the amazingly tolerant
attitude of the parliamentary Investigate
ing committee toward the men compos-
ing the Rhodes group.
The belief grows that the true reason
for the committee not compelling the pro-
duction of certain mysterious cable dis
patches from Rhodes is that these dis
patches instead of compromising Cham
berlain, gives evidence that the Prince
of Wales, who at one time was a holder
of the company's shares. had knowledge
prior to the Jameson raid that an at
tempt was to be made to violate the ter
ritory of the Transvaal and that he did
nothing to prevent this outrage upon a
nation with which Great Britain was at
peace.
The st. James Gazette. a Tory organ.
says that the committee will apparently
issue a report without having the cable
dispatches referred to submitted to it.
and adds: "a damaging rumor is cur
rent to the effect that very highly placed
people in London society are compromised
by these dispatches"

EARTHQUAKE DAMAGES.
Summer Resort and Manufacturing
Plant Deprived of Water.

Roanoke Va, June 5.-From Giles coun-
ty come most astounding reports of dam
age done by the earthquake of Monday.
There is a large mountain near Penn
broke, Va, called Angel mountain, on
the top of which is extinct crater
about one mile in length and one-halt
mile in width, which was filled with wa
ter and called Mountain lake. 1t has been
one of the most celebrated summer re-
sorts in Virginia, hundreds of visitors
annually f1ocking to the hotels which
have been built about it. During the
earthquake, Angel mountain was rent
asunder for about one mile, the crevasse
at some points being five and six feet
wide. One result of this split in the
earth's crust has been the gradual sink
ing of the lake. until today it is reported
that it is entirely dry.
Near Pearisburg is a rich valley, ex~
tending out to the Tennessee line, in
which are located the salt wells of the
celebrated Mathieson alkan works. 1t
was learned that the wells, which have
been supplying the salt works with wa
ter are dry and the company, which rep
resents over 100000 capital and gives
employment to from 1900 TO 1000 hands,
is at a standsti1l.

Secretary Gage Refuses to Reinstate
80 Old Soldiers

Washington, D C., June 5.-Congress-
man Young of Philadelphia has made
several calls upon Secretary Gage this
week to induce him to reinstate in the
neighborhOOd of eighty old soldiers who
were discharged from the Philadelphia
mint.
But Mr.. Gage is a staunch civil serv-
ice reformer, and told Young he could
not turn out men without cause even
for the sake of old soldiers. Mr.. Young
said; Bother civil service reform, -
but Mr.. Gage said NO" Speaker Reed
was witness to this scene and under
his breath cried out, Bully" Mr.
Young for one moment forgot his gen
tleness in his agitation of the old SOL
diers' claims, yet still the secretary of
the treasury did not bulge an inch. He
was so much moved, however by Mr.
Young's eloquence that he promised to
receive the eighty old soldiers in a day
or two in a body, with Mr.. Young at
the head. The Philadelphia congress-
man is happy in the belief that the sec

WE SHALL SEE.

The truth of the remark recently
made by John E. Searles, secretary of
the sugar trust, which was to the effect
that it would be as easy to stop the
tides as to stop the formation of combi-
nations for the control of trade, is about
TO receive another test. The attorney
general of the United States has order
ed the prosecution of the Traders Live
Stock Exchange of Kansas City under
the Sherman antitrust law.
If the position of Mr.. Searles be cor
rect ii will of course apply with equal
force to such combinations already in
existence. The one thing that seems
certain is that the battle between the
trusts and combines on one side and the
law and its officers on the other which
has been opened up all along the line is
about to be fought to a finish. As the
contest progresses both sides show in
creased determination.
Legal proceedings against combines
are becoming almost of daily occur
renee. Bills innumerabIe are introduced
in congress and state legislatures for
the control or dissolution of these insti-
tutions. Few of these bills becomes laws
and fewer still are sustained by the
courts but they serve to show the trend
of the times.
In the meantime the trusts and COM
bines are leaving nothing undone which
viii give them strength and new ones
are being formed 1t must be apparent
that such a state of things cannot last
always. For one reason it is too ex-
pensive both to the trusts and the peO-
pie. Soon the trade combinations must
establish an incontrOvertibIe right to
existence or the legislators of the states
and of the nation will find a way to
suppress them.
If the combines win, and they seem to
have the best of it so far, the country
may confidently look forward to the
time when every sort of business and
industry will be conducted on the same
principle. The department store which
is now a combina ton of several stores
handling different lines of goods, into
one establishment in one city, will be
extended so as to take in a number of
cities and perhaps ultimately all the
cities and towns.
The Farmers Alliance had some such
plan in contemplation and made start
toward putting it into practice. Its
failure was probably due to lack of bus
mess ability and insufficient capital,
both of which can be obtained if pros
pective profits seem to warrant their
employment.
The people have already seen one man
managing the most important affairs of
25 or 80 railroads.
The bulk of the telegraph news ser
vice of the country has but recently
been consolidated under the direction of
one man.
