Pleasure, rightly understood, is the
true ultimate point wherein all our
lines of conduct ought to centre; what
we do for mankind, for the public, for
our friends or our neighbors, tends to
the increase of happiness-or diminu-
ton Of evil among them, or to some
good, or convenience from whence they
may reap benefit; it is duty we owe
ourselves to make our lives in every
part of them as pleasurable as We can
with our best industry and contrivance
only remembering to contrive for ev-
cry part, not for one small portion OF
our span in neglect of all the rest.

According to the calculations of Johr

According to the calculations of John
Berkenbine, the drainage area of the
iaississippi river is 1,250,000 square
miles, including nearly all of the coun-
try from the Alleghenies to the Rock
les and from Canada to the Gulf Of
Mexico. In his communication to the
Engineers Club Mr.. Berkenbine esti-
mates that one inch of rainfall evenly
distributed over this area would equal
1,7S0, 0O0,000,00 gallons of water. If
the average rainfall for the entire
area amounts to twenty inches it
would equal 535,6OO, O00,O 900, 900 gallons
of water, or if the average rainfall
should be twenty-three inches it
would equal 1,6o6,soo, 900 100000 gal
Ions of water. The river has an aver
age flow of 664,OO0 cubic feet per Sec
ond, or 31,6S0,000 gallons per minute,
or 1,900,800,000 gallons per hour, or
456,o19, 100000 gallons per day.

1t is reported that James B. Gentry,
the murderer of Madge Yorhe, con-
signed by mistaken clemency to the
eastern penitentiary for life, has not
only recovered vigorous degree of
health, but has become the center Of
admiring attentions at that institu-
ton. His cell is made sort of Mecca
by theatrical people visiting this city,
and the memory Of his atrocious crime
is already growing faint. Thus we
make heroes of our villains.

LONDON, June 22.-The bodies of five
men, is women and IL children have
been recovered at Blackwall. the scene
of the disaster that followed the launch
ing Of the British first class battleship
Albion yesterday by the Duchess of
York.
The Duke and Duchess of York have
telegraphed assurances of their pro-
found regret and sympathy.
Thousands who witnessed the launch.
ing, including the royal party, left the
scene quite ignorant of the disaster.
The staging that was destroyed had
been erected for workmen near the stern
of Japanese cruiser in course of con-
struction in the Blackwall yards. It
was light structure about 90 feet long,
and notices had been posted warning
the public that it was dangerous.
Despite the efforts Of the police some
200 people invaded the staging, which
commanded good view of the launch
ing ceremony. The great waves com.
pletely demolished it, being the wash
from the ship, and on receding carried
most of its occupants into deep water.
The water was alive with struggling
people and floating debris. 1t was
scene of terrible confusion. The
shrieks of the unfortunate people min.
gled with the cheers over the successful
launching.
Fortunately there was plenty of help
near in the shape of police boats and
other craft. The shipbuilders with drags
and the firemen who participated in the
ceremony were all prompt in affording
succor. A number of nurses who had
come to witness the launching were
among those engulfed. Some Of these
and many others were revived by artifi.
cial respiration. Some were injured by
colliding with the debris.
as the Identification of the dead slowly
proceeded.

JUDGE VOORHEES,
Named as the Choice Of the Conven-
tion for the Circuit
Judgeship.

The Stark county delegation to the
circuit convention at GAINESVILLE yester-
day returned last night on a special train
over the @. @. & S. railroad at about 10
o'clock. While being disappointed that
Judge A. A. Thayer was not nominated
the delegation felt that iJ had reason to
congratulate itself that when the time
came that it was seen that Judge
Thayer could not be nominated and that
it would be better to end the convention
by nominating some one else, SO good
man as Judge Voorhees, was selected.
Ten Of the Stark county men decided to
vote for Judge Thayer to the last, though
it was seen that the fortunes Of the con-
vention were against him. The word
had gone out that Stark county would
Voorhees,, and the break was made from
other counties, Stark giving Voorhees, 8
votes on the final ballot.
The selection of Judge Voorhees, assures
the people Of the circuit that capable
Judge will occupy the bench. He is
splendid lawyer and one of the leaders
of the Coshocton bar. He is a life long
Democrat and loyal, fair-minded man
of great ability who will be elected hand
somely. Judge Thayer mad an honest,
open fight for tie nomination and has
no regrets to offer.
The nomination of Judge Voorhees, was
made on the 71st ballet. A short time
before that Judge Thayer came within
eight votes of being the nominee. ].
NJ. Swar tz of Newark was named on the
second ballet to fill the unexpjred term
of the late Judge Pomerene Coshocton.

THE DEBATE ON HAWAII.
Senators Evidently Weary of flashed
over Arguments.

Senators Evidently Weary of flashed
over Arguments.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-Interest in
the debate ON Hawaiian annexation
which is proceeding in the senate
already has begun to flag. Early in
the present session the senate debated
the question behind closed doors for
six weeks. During that time majority
of the speakers were accorded close at
tention.
1t was evident from the proceedings
yesterday that the senators will not be-
come enthusiastic over arguments which
are not now new to them. Mr.. White
(Dem., Cal. }, the leader of the oppo-
nents of annexation, spoke for three
hours and a half. His argument was
skiliful and was presented with ora
torical ability, but it failed to command
the attention of the senators it really
deserved. Mr.. White had not con-
oluded his argument when the resolu-
tions were laid aside for the day. He
will resume is speech today and prob
ably will occupy the entire day.
Mr.. Mitchell (Dem., Wis. opened the
discussion with brief speech in oppo-
sition to the resolutions.
Among the bills passed was one pro-
viding severe penalties for the malicious
injury or destruction of submarine
mines, torpedoes. Notifications or other
coast defenses.
