KEEP IN YOUR PROPER GLASS.

Two New York men said two things few days ago which apparently had no connection but which when placed together have a deep and intimate significance One of these men, in ex- plaining why he had resigned his pc sition as police magistrate, with a ten year tenure of office and $7,0D0 a year salary, said that he could not af- ford to keep the place, although it's duties were conge1ial. He needed just those ten years to make his for tune, before it is too late. "A young man," he remarked, 'sis deemed clever and is paid more for the sams work for which an older man is paii less and is not called clever. There is a vast premium on youth, and the fore casting mind sees the necessity of getting so big an impetus at the start that it will carry one through loveless middle age to an honored end of lie. After 45 the game is up. Make use. young man, of the natural prest4e of youth.''
 The other man is superintendent of the state insane asylum at Middle town In declaring that insa1ity is on the increase throughout the world he said: 'This is due mainly to the great rush for position and prosperity which the conditions of the present time require. Before one is barely ed ucated the struggle begins. Competi- tion is very sharp, and men must strive and struggle to keep up. If they fall behind they are apt to lose. This constant worry over the probable outcome of ones efforts sends many a man to the insane asylum. And, too, men constantly are striving for what they cannot obtain, and they go through life, finally dying, with ambition still unsatisfied.'
 Various conclusions will be drawn from these statements. To us they emphasize the fact that too many men are animated principally by the de- sire to get rich. Thousands who might fill an honorable niche in business or social life fail by the way side through sheer ignorance of their own limitations. He who knows his capabilities and does net set his mark too high is more than ap- tc succeed The man. who gets o1l If his class sooner or later comes 10 grief In these days of fierce competition an added responsibility rests upcr par ents. The sensible parent will know his sons mind and direc- it into the proper channel. If more parents appre- ciated this responsibility there would not be such a widespread effort to catch up" in the race for "an ho1ored end of life" and consequently less ma terial for the insane asylum.

SENATOR GRAY PROTESTS.
Says Patrolling New England Coast Is
FoOlishness.

Washington. May Ex-senator Grey
and other influential men have made
strong protests against the cruiser Co
lumbia and other fine warships being
kept on the New England coast when
the enemy's ships are in southern
waters. Senator Grey had business with
the President today and called his at
tention to the matter.
'It is stated that these ships are kept
ON the New England coast to allay ap-
prehension." said Senator Grey. well,
that is all foolishness. Here these ships
are, kept on the coast, when there is not
a particle of danger, while the Spanish
squadron is not far from southern shores.
l do not believe anybody has an idea
that the Spanish feet would attempt to
sail 5000 or 1000 miles from its present
position to attack the New England
coast and be without a base of supplies
when it got there. While our ships re-
main on the New England coast, the
southern coast, much nearer to the Span
ish, is unprotected. So is the coast Of
the middle Atlantic states. Our ships
should be with one or the other squad
ron.''
1t is said that several New England
senators take the same ground as Sena-
tor Grey.

Hard to See How Spanish Fleet

OPENING OF BLOCKADE RATHER
CURIOUS PROCEEDING.

Washington, May 16.-An order this
morning signed by Secretary Long and
relating to the publication OF news
emanating from the Navy Department.,
had the effect today of considerabl cur
failing the supply OF information that
heretofore has been rather freely given
out. The Secretary's orders was directed
to Captain Crowninshield. chief Of the
navigation bureau, and he in turn gave
1t effect by making an order in his own
name that no person connected with his
bureau in any capacity should have any
conversation whatever upon subjects in
any way pertaining to the navy with
representatives Of the press. AS an Offset
1t was ordered that bulletins of such facts
as have actually occurred and are proper
for publication and are not connected
with existing or protested movements,
shall be prepared and posted on the bulle-
tin board. The sum total OF the inforna-
ton published by the bulletin board today
under this rule was notice of the inten-
ton to start the Philippine relief expedi-
tion, and of the permission given to some
foreign neutral vessels to pass the block
ade at Havana. In explanation Of the
issue of this order, the naval authorities

Washington, May 16.-The game of hide
and seek now on in the waters south of
Cuba and Hayti is soon to be brought to
q conclusion.
News received today from Admiral
Sampson shows that he has his vessels SO
placed, with scout boats out in every
direction, that it is hardly possible for
the Spanish admiral to elude him if he
tries to reach either the southern coast
of Cuba or aims to double on his course
and reach the north Atlantic by way of
Martinique and Porto Rico.
A big surprise awaits the Spanish ad-
miral if be sails for Martinique. There
it is apt to find a new squadron. COM

MAY Be PROTRiCTED.
Spanish Cabinet Crisis Far From
Being Settled.

Madrid May, 1910 50 p. m.-Marquis
Vega D'Armijo, resident Of the chamber,
has advised Senior Sagasta to end the
crisis as quickly as possible. Senior Mon
tero Rios. president Of ths Senate has
offered his support, but does not desire to
enter the new cabinet. Senor Gamazo
who is i'll, also declines to enter the cabi-
net, but he promises to support any min
istry organized BY Senior Sagasta.
The general impression is that the cabi-
net crisis will be protected. Senor
Romero Robledo thinks that Marshall
Martinez Campos ought to be the chief
of the new ministry. Senior Cilvela ex-
poets that the business of the quickly
formed cabinet will be to carry the bud
et7and to facilitate the formation of a
defnitive ministry, which will solve ex-
isting problems.

SPANISH MAN OF WAR REPORTED
TN DOMINICA CHANNEL.

st. Pierre, Martinique, May 16.-Noth.
ing has been seen or heard of the Spanish
feet today up to late hour this evening.
1t may be lying off the island or may
have gone north. The Spanish ambulance
ship Alicante, is still at Fort de France.
She is being painted white.
The torpedo boat destroyer Terror en-
deayored to coal from the Alicante, but
the authorities interferetl and refused her
permission.
The signal lights that have been on the
neighboring hills the last few nights
have been undoubtedly manipulated by
friends of the Spanish, hoping to assist
them to capture the US. auxiliary cruiser
Harvard. Those have been the subject of
vigorous protest by the o. S.consul and
have diminished somewhat, especially
after the gendarInes secured the noun
tain roads; but one flashed brightly last
night
There are reports that Spanish man
of war is lying in the Dominica chan
mel, to the northward of Martinique.
A French man Of war. {::arhably the
Admiral Rigault de Genonilly), arrived
this afternoon from San Juan de Porto
Rico. She was slightly damaged by flyr
ing shell fragments during the bombard-
lnent of the Notifications by Admiral
Sampson. The people here are greatly
excited over war news and their
warlike surroundings.

GUSSIE FAILS AGAIN.

Tampa, Fla, May 16.-The steamer
Gussie, which sailed from Port Tampa
last Tuesday laden with arms, ammunit-
ion and supplies for the army of Gen.
First infantry, returned today bringing
most of her cargo back. 1t is hardly
probable that another attempt will be
made to land the supplies until the whole
expedition moves Army officials are
strongly inclined to lay the blame of the
failure Of the Gusssie expedition to the
wide publicity giving to the sailing. The
Spanish forces in Cuba were undoubtedly
kept fully posted on every detail of the
movement.
