ing OF the great sage OF the revolution
or enter upon q new century with Eu-
ropean monarchies as our modNl.
Shall we be deaf to the teachings Of
one hundred years of our own his
tory? Without large standing army,
but rely upon the patriotism and cour-
age of American manhood, we were
victorious in the war with Great Brit
ain, with Mexico, in the great civil
strife, and with Spain. In the light NJ
history. can it be possible that the
American people will consent to the
creation of large standing army and
its consequent continuing ad ever-in-
creasing burden OF taxation? Shall
this be the response of the free Repub-
lie to the appeal that comes from des-
potic Russia for the disarmament Of
all the nations?
Peace. commerce, and honest friend
ship with all nations-entangling al
liances with none" At no period in
our history have these words OF jeff
erson possessed a deeper significance.
Before we abandon the traditions Of
the fathers it is well we deliberate
upon the possible consequences of g
departure from the settled government
al policy of more than century.
Not in the "delirium of victory" but
only after calm discussion of what
may follow, should be the momentous
question now presented to be determin-
ed. Nations as we'll as individuals
may do that in their zeal which their
calmer Judgment dare not approve"
L would be difficult to conceive of
question more vital, more far-reaching
in its consequences, than that now con-
fronting us as to the disposition of re-
cent conquered territory.

POISONED FROM CRAB MEAT.
Mrs. ]. M. Morrisons Fatal illness
Caused BY Grab Meat.

Mrs. Laura NJ Morrison, wife of DIR.
James NJ. Morrison.L3 $50 Myrtle avenue.
Baltimore. died at her home about eight
o'clock yesterday morning from the eff
feet of ptomaine poisoning caused by eat
ing crabs.
Mrs. Morrison was in apparently good
health last Tuesday morning, when she
ate the crabs, and did not complain oi
feeling sick until the following Thursday
although soon after eating the crabs she
said she did not believe them good. On
Thursday the first symptoms began 10
manifest themselves, and by Saturday
her condition had become so serious that
DIR. John H. Houck, her attending ply
sician, called in DIR. j. w. Chambers tor
consultation.
Mrs. Morrison grew rapidly worse in
spite OF the efforts OF the physicians. The
two doctors believe that her death was
caused by minute particles OF ptomaine
set free from decaying crab meat. Dur
ing her sickness Mrs. Morrison contin-
ually spoke of the crabs. and almost her
last words the night before she died were
to caution the family against eating more
of them. Mrs. Morrison is survived by
her husband and two sons, George c.
and Harry Morrison. She was one oi
the nearest living relatives OF the late
Stephen Girard, of Philadelphia, and was
an active member of the English Luth-
eran Church of Baltimore.

THE MAN ABOUT TOWN.
What He Sees and Hears in Day g
Walk.

There is no family. no matter how well
regulated, that can go on year after year
without having some little trouble with
the servants. An uptown family. well
known for its hospitality, had a cook OF
whom they were wont TO boast. After
her good qualities had been enumerated
by the proud members of the household
one would be led to exclaim: "What a
Jewel of cook !" This satisfactory state
of affairs continued for some months, but
finally a change came over the state OF
affairs. No more delightful surprises came
from the region of the kitchen, and the
temper of the cook was painfully uncer-
tain. Nobody could even guess the
source of the trouble. and it was not
found out until after the morose Mary
Ann had been discharged. The mistress
of the house in searching bureau, found
bundle of verse, OF which there were
several hundred lines, showing that the
cook had been in love, and that nobody
had understood the situation. The poetry
accounted at once for Mary AIMS err
ratio. moods.

that after bad dinner human nature is
cross. and after good dinner it is stupid?
