The great Indian empire is in ia ct
less homogeneous than the Austro-
Hungarian, and any British re-
verse would cause it to fall to
pieces.
Altogether England may we'll
hesitate, because the proposition
to dlsarm is too good to be true,
and considering from whence it
comes she probably thinks of the
old proverb, ''timeo danaos, ct
dona ferentes," which is to say
that when your enemy offers fav-
ors it is best to be careful.

The assassination of the empress
Elizabeth Of Austria by anan-
archist has caused a thrill Of
horror to pass through the whole
civilized world. The liberal-minded
and the lovers Of equality will al
ways sympathize with the efforts
of an enslaved and downtrodden
people to better their condition,
whether the oppressors be repub-
lican scoundrels or monarchical
and aristocratic degenerates. But
when these efforts take the form
Of wanton and useless murder of
an unfortunate and lovable woman,
whose SORROWS and misfortunes
have made her an object Of pity,
and whose charity and generosity
have endeared her to her people,
then it is we'll that the act should
result in the eclipse and extinction
Of the principles which induced
such monstrous act.
A peculiar condition confronts
the Swiss republic, where the
crime was committed. The in
Fiction Of the death penalty is
prohibited by the laws Of Switzer-
land, but it is possible that the
Austrian authorities may demand
his extradition on the ground that
the crime is high treason against
the Austrian Empire. It is doubt
full whether the Swiss authorities
would be disposed to resist the de-
mand, especially as the murderer
is not Swiss subject. Should he
be delivered up, then few will be
sorry to know that the punish
ment for that crime still remains
the same as it was two hundred
years ago, and it will hardly bear
description.
But the thought can hardly be
avoided that the social conditions
of the masses must be responsible
for the existence of such monst-
rosities, and it is very evident that
even the infection of the most Sc
we're punishment on the murderer
will not change the conditions
which furnished it's initiative.

SOME time since we sent out
quite a number of letters to papers
all over the country making re-
quests for exchanges. The letter
was worded somewhat facetiously.
in the hope that by that means it
would be more likely to serve its
purpose. We received ample re-
turns from the letters and many
kind replies. We also received a
very funny notice in the Iowa
State Register Of Des Moines. The
writer of that notice evidently took
our letter, and after reading the
heading: THE Prison MIRROR,
published and edited by the in
mates,'' etc., conjured up in his
mind the back aground of gloom,
and sadness and prison bars, and
expected to see them reflected in
the letter. But what was his as
constituent to find that it was
cheerful, and even attempted to be
jocular. His surprise was excus-
able. Imagine a man coming into
room where corpse is laid out.
He feels solemn and puts on a
funeral expression Of counte-
nance, while preparing to view the
solemn face of the dead. Imagine
his feelings to find on looking that
the corpse is laughing at him.
That was the experience of the
Register man.

the matter, and then wrote the
notice referred to, which was mere
ly gasp of establishment, as much
as to say: "Holy smoke! the corpse
laughs;
But some people don't like to
see corpse laugh, or to hear it,
for that matter. Still, in this age
Of safety we have furnished the
gentleman with a new sensations
and allow us to remark that to
furnish a new sensation to writer
on metropolitan daily is no two
bit contract.
Perhaps we should feel unhap-
py, and if SO, perhaps that fact
should be allowed to fill the pages
Of The MIRROR with gloom. But
is it not better to try to cheer?
There are many things which
will give comfort to prisoner
One is good reading. Some men
find the people they meet in books
just as real and vastly more enter
tanning than the live article. Then
there is imagination. If you have
a vivid one, you may travel in all
lands, visit those that are dear to
you, participate in the stirring
events Of the day, or build your
castles in Spain for the future, and
all the power Of all the judges and
courts in the land cannot abbrevi-
ate or curtail the range of your en-
joyment. Then again, happiness
is only comparative. If you are in
the midst of men who are so much
more unfortunate than you that
your very pity and compassion
for them cause you to look upon
yourself as fortunate in compari-
son, then you can never feel really
unhappy. Should you in addition
be fortunate to know in your own
heart that you have injured no
man and owe no man an apology,
then you may indeed feel happy,
for it lies in no mans power to
prevent you from releasing your
deathless spirit from the clay that
binds it, if you have the courage
to face your Maker and say to him:
Master, I have returned, such as
you made me-"

VERY frequently articles are sent
to us for publication by inmates,
which present many good points
and are very ably written. but
which we are unable to publish
for the very simple reason that
they are of an entirely personal
character or in the nature of an
argument of the individual case of
the writer. Of course our readers
know that this paper is not the
proper place for arguments against
the mandates of courts, nor against
the characters of the judges, al
though we will not deny that some
of these articles have much merit,
and have no doubt that there are
papers in plenty in the state who
would be glad to publish them.
However, our chief concern is
the fact that all these literary eff
forts are lost to the paper, while if
the same amount Of labor and
ability were turned in a different
direction much pleasure and profit
would result therefrom to our
readers.
We therefore ask our contrib
utors to, in the future, consider be-
fore they write an article for the
paper, if the subject is such that
they themselves, were they in the
position of editor, would think it
advisable to publish them, before
they send them to US.
Please remember that when you
accuse judge of being corrupt, if
you are able to prove it, the law is
as much for him as for you, and
you may set its machinery in mo-
ton. Should you be able to estab-
fish your contention his public ca
reer will be forever blasted and
you may in addition recover from
him damages commensurate with
the sufferings you have undergone.
But these things cannot be gained
through the columns Of this paper.
We are aware that things are
sometimes done by the courts and
their officers which will not bear
the light of day, but they are, from
the nature of things, almost i'm
possible to prove. And such things
must be proven, or else it is better
not to mention them.

IT has come to pass that an ef-
fort at international disarmament
has been made, and it has come
from direction least expected.
The mightiest ruler of the earth,
the man who stands personally for
one Of the greatest, if not the
greatest military power the world
has ever seen, is the author Of the
proposition that the enormous
military burdens under which
Europe groans be gradually de-
creased until it shall be only suf-
fciently large for the internal uses
Of the various powers.
To the student of military events
the proposition is most interest
ing. Ever since the Franco-Prus-
sian war Of 1871 the increase Of
the military establishments Of the
various powers have gone steadily
on until it has now come to the
point that they dare not fight
What we mean to say is that if
any two Of these powers were to
go to war with each other the re-
suit Of the contest would be so
disastrous to both that they would
at it's end find themselves the de-
fenseless prey to their neighbors.
The question which the powers
naturally ask is whether Russia is
really sincere. England is the
power most vitality interested, for
things have practically come to a
"show-down" between England
and Russia, and John Bull has
good reason to fear that, whatever
his naval superiority may be, on
land he would almost certainly
meet with defeat.
The Russian army is the most
formidable fighting machine in the
world today. Figures are dry, but
if our readers will try to imagine
what is meant when we say that
Russia can in thirty days put in
the field over three millions we'll
trained and equipped soldiers,
and still hold back two millions
more, as reserve, an idea
may perhaps be formed in
view of our own recent experience
Of Russia's military strength.
While the Russian army is per-
haps inferior to the German, both
in discipline and equipment, still
its enormous superiority in mum.
bers and the implicit obedience Of
it's soldiers would make it a fail
opponent to any two European
powers, except the impossible com.
bination Germany-France.
England's latent military power
lies largely in it's Indian troops.

been missing for over a week and his
friends are very anxious about him.
He has a church in Sumter, s. G. Ten

The Sunday before Christmas he
preached an excellent sermon at Bethel

a point near the city. He then left the
house at which he was staying and
has not been seen since.
His wife says that he had worked
very hard preparing for his examina-
ton at the conference OF his church
and she thinks that his mind gave way
under the strain and that he has wan
dered away. She does not fear foul
play, but she is afraid that he is i'll
somewhere and unable to communicate
with his friends. Once before after a
period Of hard study the young minis
ter left home and was not heard OF for
four days. He came to himself then in

AMYxTERrOUs A POISONING
A Lady Dies from Poison Sent az Bro.
mo Settler TO u Third Party BY an Uns
known Person


New York, December 2s.-Mrs. Kate
J. Adams, a well-to-do-woman, was
poisoned today in her handsomely fur
nished apartments on Eighty-sixth
street Her death is connected with a
curious chain of events. Mrs. Adams
was a widow, so years of age, and lived
with her son-in-law, Edward Rogers,
an insurance agent. Harry Cornish, a
we'll known athlete and physical direc-
tor of the Knickerbocker Athletic Club,
boards with the Rogers. Mrs. Adams
awoke this morning with a bad head
ache. Her daughter, Mrs. Rogers, ad-
vised her to take some brOmO seltzer.
Mrs. Rogers hunted around, but found
none of the required medicine. Final
ly she remembered that there was
some bromo seltzer in Mr.. Cornish Is
room. This she got and gave to her
mother, who took fair sized dose. In
a few seconds Mrs. Adams was in great
pain and evidently suffering from the
effects of a strong poison. DR.. Hitch
cock was called in and he tried to coun-
teract the effects of the poison, which
he declared to be cyanide of potassium.
Mr. Cornish and Dr. Hitchcock both
tasted the poisonous stuff and in few
minutes both were prostrated by the
effects of the slight quantity they had
taken.
DR.. Potter was called in. He revived
the two men, but Mrs. Adams died.
Mr.. Cornish states that on Christmas
day he received a neat package address
ed to himself containing a sterling sill
yer medicine bottle holder in Tiffany
box and in the holder was a bottle
marked ''bromo seltzer" This pack
age was anonymously sent, but Cor
nish says that he thought nothing OF
this, as he frequently gets presents in
this way. 1t was this bottle that Mrs
Adams drank with fatal effect
Mr.. Cornish says he cannot think
who could have had any design on his
life.
