A CRAZY CAPTAIN.
Skipper Of the Park Union Left His Vessel SNss-

The Haytian brig Union. from Marie

Providence firm. arrived here yesterday
afternoon. and the crew had thrilling
story of the sea 10 narrate.
At the wheel was Rudolph Bohon,
first mate OF the brig, and he was also
in supreme command Where Capt.

venture guess The officers of the ves-

Some time before the Union reached
Rhode Island waters Capt. Daughey
went mad and terrorized the crew OF
the ship 10 such AN extent that some OF
the sailors threatened TO defend them
selves with marlnspikes If he came too
near them. Capt. Daughey was not
oVerpowered, however, and continued 10
command his vessel and TO give orders.
When he reached Narragansett bay
he left the ship suddenly and started
away with the announcement that he
would never be back again.
Capt Daughey belongs in Liverpool,

religion. Ii is thought this subject un-
balanced his mind. When he left the
ship at Newport he was armed with "a

was placed under arrest. He made
fierce resistance, but was finally over

'TWIxT YOU AND ME-.

Il ann occasionally asked to make
other folks troubles my own.
II am always very glad 10 DO this
and to protest to the best OF my ability
In behalf of other folks who are too
feeble TO protest for themselves or lack
a medium or are too much engaged in
other business.
Nov, for Instance. here's a fellow
that comes up to town from down Bris-
tol way every morning to his business.
He told me the other day that the Bris-
tol depot trolley cars are never heated,
and that the refrigerator effect that
they impart is particularly impressive,
since, as every one knows, the Bristol
train is always as hot as hot.
i didn't investigate the matter, but
1 have no doubt it is all true. I'm al
ways ready To believe anything against
the soulless trolley corporation since 1

pared for the Municipal League en-

Horrifying and peculiarly atrocious Is
murder by mail. il is not of kind
that would likely have found favor in
the eyes of the society for the consider
alton OF murder as fine art, because
il is too cowardly, although 1t may well
have excited an interest ia that body,
and surely no method OF murder has
ever proved much more finished in its
results. One may fancy. however, that
it expresses n nature that is weak
rather than strong, incapable of carry
ing out the wicked intent after a cour-
ageous fashion and dreading the deed
more than is probably common with the
wilfui murderer. One may fancy that IL
would be a woman who would most
likely strike by such a method. In
both the Dunning and the Adams cases.
indeed, IL is a woman that is suspected.
In the Barnaby case II was a man that
was suspected. but that IL was a man
was rever proved, except technically.
In all three instances women were the
victims. though in the latest instance
the design was apparently upon the life
OF a man.

the city $4,000 "A pair of horses and a

Another murder by mail. The device
adopted by the murderer of Mrs. j. B.
Barnaby is revived at this late day and
threatens to become epidemic. The
Barnaby murderer sent arsenic in a
bottle Of whiskey. The crime began at
the Providence post office and was ac-
complished i'm Denver Colorado. That
was in 1891. In August last. Mrs. J. r.
Dunning and Mrs. J. ID. Deane were
murdered i'm Dover. Delaware. the as
sassin striking from San Francisco.
The instrument was arsenic and the
sheath was box of candy. The third
instance is the murder of Mrs. Kate J.
Adams of New York. a bottle con-
tanning what was supposed to be bromo
seltzer was sent TO Mrs. Adams
nephew, Harry Cornish. Mrs. Adams
made drink OF It for headache and
dropped dead. There is supposed TO be
a salt of prussic acid in the powder. 1t
took effect almost instantly. Apparent
~ Cornish and not Mrs. Adams was
designed 10 be the victim OF the mail
murder. The bottle was mailed in New
York.

In crime different classihcations are
recognized. The pickpocket is a
different sort Of a chap from the bur
glar. Their natures and so their trades
are not interchangeable in the well de-
veloped examples. In murder there
are different stripes. If one could know
in advance the men who are destined to
commit murder IL would be quite easily
possible to distinguish the one who would
kill his victim with bludgeon from
one who would use knife or pistol,
the one who would confront his victim
from the one who would strike from
behind. and the poisoner from them all.
Murder by mail suggests hitherto
undiscovered temperament. It is per-
haps the wickedest as well as the weak
est OF methods. IL indicates a nature
peculiarly revengeful. amazingly deter
mined. treacherous beyond compare
ana cowardiy beyond belief, yet cool,
painstaking and calculating in the posi-
tive assurance OF safety in the execu-
ton. All these attributes surely repre-
sent physical and mental weakness,
with the exception, perhaps, Of the
dcyilish deliberstion required for pre-
pairing the fatal instrument. II is hard
TO Imagine a man striking that way,
particularly striking a woman At an
events. II the two later mysteries are
cleared up. investigators of crime will
be able 10 make an estimate on the
kind of murderer Il II that does this
kind ~ murder

Discussion OF the matter by legal lights
seems to bear out what The News sug-
gested that there is no law To prevent
the polygamous Congressman-elect
from Utah from taking his seat in the
Fifty-slxth Congress. There is nothing
in the Constitution of the United states
as bearing upon the subject. OF course,
polygamy was never contemplated by
the makers OF the Constitution. 1t grew
up in Utah years after and there IL has
been confined. Utah abandoned it prior
TO becoming a State and as "A condition
thereto, but no law OF the land denies
20 the polygamist his seat in Congress
or his right TO exercise other functions
of citizenship and public Office. Never
theless, Representative elect Roberts
viii probably not be permitted to take
his seat. The House of Representa-
tives is the judge of its own member
snip. IIOll It's blitlt - iiV hp-
peal. IL may seat and unseat members
chosen by the constituencies without
cause as well as with cause. A mere
difference In politics, IL has often been
charged, has dictated its choice of its
fellows. There is ample cause why the
polygamist from Utah should not be a
lawmaker for this land, and the House
Of Representatives will be entirely jus
tilted in expelling him. AS there is per-
haps no legal ground for such action, It
is fortunate that such course may be
taken despite legal hair splitting. 1t is
sometimes rather a fortunate thing to
be independent of the law, or of default
OF law, OF the kind that is printed in
the statute books. which, after all, is
only the least of the laws that rule
mankind.

More coffee and less tea, or a sub
stitution of coffee for tea, seems TO be
the rule with the American people just
now. The figures of the Treasury Blu
reau of Statistics show that the coffee
importation of the past year has been
the heaviest in the history of the coun-
try. and the tea importation the lightest
coffee i'm the calendar year 1882 was
over 500 0oo. 900 pounds. and the 1898 fig
ures will be about the same as those OF
1897. In no earlier year were the inn
portatons ever as much as 700 900, 900
pounds. This is a larger amount OF
coffee for each individual than was ever
before consumed in the country. the
per capita consumption being about
eleven pounds annually. while no ear
lier year showed per capita consump-
ton OF as much as ten pounds. Re-
duced 20 tons, the total for the year
1898 would be 100000 tons. requiring for
it's transportation $1,000 cars. which. If
grouped in a single train, would nearly
reach from New York to Baltimore.
The United States is by far the largest
coffee consuming country i'm the world,
our own consumption being nearly dou-
BILE that OF all Europe, and practically
half of the coffee produced in the world.
In only two countries-H Holland and
Denmarlx--is the per capita consump-
ton larger than that OF the United
states, that OF Holland being % pounds
per capita and of Denmark Is pounds.
against II pounds per capita In the
United States. 81. pounds in Germany.
3l4 in France, and less than ! pound
per capita i'm Great Britain.

haps IL Is not strictly new. We fancy
that education in perjury is pursued in

elaborate institution of the sort Is in

These figures arc especially interest
ing in view OF the fact that coffee can
be successfully grown In all Of the ISL
ands which are just coming into closer
relation with the United States. II Is
now the largest article OF export from
Puerto Rico and the production there
can be greatly increased. since a very
large propo.slon Of the island Is capable
OF producing coffee, which grows most
successfully ond the highlands and
mountain sides. In parts OF Cuba con-
ditions are similar. and at one time the
coffee production of that island
