Kisses and Expansion.

"A subsidiary cause of this breach of
decorum may have been that sort of
military ardor kindled in
the United States by the infamies- OF
Spain. with its absurd and impolitic
result by the conquest of the Philip
p,nes, so contrary to American feeling
and ubdition."
Concluding, Professor Lombroso
says
=. Few men are so worthy OF admira-
tion and enthusiasm as Hobson, whose
Merrimac exploit fs one of the bravest
deeds of our own times: and the ac-
count of II. given by the hero himself,
was bound TO foment the enthus asm
of his hearers, who must have felt as
though they had been actually present
Under these circumstances the kissing
phenomenon loses much Of its patho-
logical aspect, more especially as wom-
en- are always warm admirers OF mill
tary valor. The very prosaism which
permeates our times, especially in Am
erica, makes these exceptional deeds
the more provocative OF admiration
and enthusiasm. IL would augur well
for the glory of the great Republic on
which at this time the gaze of the
whole liberal world is fixed IL. in the
flush Of victory. the military ardor OF

v'esknsss of Woman.

This baleful influence Is yet more
marked in crowd of women. party
because il includes larger proportion
OF hysterical persons, who give and re-
ceive suggestion more readily than
others, and partly because, aside from
hysterical tendencies, women are more
open TO suggestion, more inclined TO run
TO extremes, than men.
I'm a highly cultured race. in a
crowd where women preponderated,
and under conditions of the most JUS
t,fiable enthusiasm, the outcome, at
best no crime, was nevertheless n
breach of social decorum, violation
OF that sense OF modesty which is SO
keen in the Anglo-Saxon, for whom
the price of a stolen kiss may amount
to a heavy t6ne.

Suggss.ib lily Of The Crowd.

"In the case OF Hobson's ten thou
sand kisses, the strangeness and un-
conventionality. of which were height
ened by their publicity, the most strik-
ing fact is that he was addressing a
crowd of specially elite persons.
The crowd is a domain in which the
microbe OF evil develops more readily
than the microbe of good, because the
good elements of the individual are
eliminated by numbers, or by the pres
ence even OF single morbid element.
Disturbances arise mainly from the
stronger influence which the few de-
praved persons in a crowd exercise up
on IL: for. being of an active nature,
they oversway the virtuous, who are
by nature more passive.

London, July 20.-Lombroso, the

contributed an article entitled An Ep-
idemic OF Kisses in America" to the
Forthcoming August number of the Pail
Mall Magazine.
To Lieutenant Hobson the learned

epidemic, and he finds this sudden
ebullitlon of kisses D America so strih-
ing a phenomenon as to call for some
examination from pathological stand

The professor starts out with mis-
statement of fact, lnasmuch as Hob
sons first experience with kissing IN
public did not take place at Nassar
College, as the professor asserts, but
at Long Beach. Again, the professor
seems TO have taken too seriously eXag-
gerated reports of Hobsons Kissing
bees. as witness his opening statement

Anglo Saxon R ssn,.

"The douglAy deed Of LIEUTENANT
Hobson. who scuttled the Merrimac IN
Santiago harbor and freely risked his
life i'm the bold project of locking the
Spaniards I'm Their own port. is fresh
in the memory Of all. We are told that
when, after the war. the gallant sailor
gave an account of his exploit at Vas
sar College, a lady who was at his
lecture expressed a wish to l0ss the
hero, and her example was followed by
all the ladies present. Hobson subse-
quently lectured I'm all the leading cit
les OF the United States. and in the
course of his tour he was kissed by no
less than ten thousand women!
Now, when we consider the reserve
OF the Anglo-Saxon race in expressing
it's enthusiasms, when we consider the
modesty of its women. when, above all,
we consider the self-possession and
hard -headedness of the American cit
zen, this phenomenon appears so strik-
ing as TO call for some examination
from a pathological standpoint.

Discovery of a Mammoth.

On February s. Swede and his
partner, while marking their claim
on Dominion Greek, discovered,
according to a Dawson newspaper,
a body of mammoth 10 feet be-
low the surface. The story was
that the body was in perfect state
of preservation. Unfortunately,
there was no scientist in Dawson
to examine the body. but, accord
ing to press statements, it measur-
ed IA feet long. Its right tusk
was broken, but its left tusk was
ferfect, so that it was probable
that the right tusk may have been
snapped off III the fall that caused
its death. The tusk which re-
mains measures ii feet inches in
length and is inches in circum-
ference. The flesh was covered
with woolly hair 10 inches long,
of grayish-black color, The
neck was short and the limbs long
and stout, the feet short and broad,
and had five toes. The flesh was
cut and tasted sweet. Mammoth
flesh has been tasted on other oc-
casions. 1t is very unfortunate
tkat an expert geologist was not
upon the ground at the time Of
the find, as it is of considerable

HORACE A. w. TABOR.

In the death of Horace A. w.
Tabor, Denver has lost one of the
men who have made our state capt
tai what it is. and one who was
ever active in the development of
this commonwealth, and it is only
natural that the people of Colo
RADIO should feel genuine grief over
his sudden demise.
That Mr., Tabor should have
died a poor man seems like the
irony of fate. Having by his in
domitable will and unyielding en-
ergy amassed fortune, it would
seem only right that he should
spend his last days in at least COM
parative luxury: bu fate was un-
kind, and the man who had once
borne the distinction of being a
multi-milionaire became reduced
to very limited circumstances.
Notwithstanding his business
reverses he was never discouraged,
but always manifested spirit of
aggression, and even at the time
of his death he was engaged in
business which he hoped would
restore TO him portion of his lost
wealth.
1t is such a spirit as this that
has developed the West and
brought out its wonderful resour-
ces, and the lives of such men lend
ambitions, high aspirations and
encouragement to younger gem
erations.

Mrs. Tabor May Finish Term as
Postmaster.

a general sentiment spnng up
in the city yesterday and grew as
the day progressed in favor of a
petition to the President to appoint
Mrs. Tabor to serve out her hus-
bands term as postmaster. The
senator's great fortune, it is well
known, is entirely dissipated.
The little holdings of mining
claims at Ward are the only prop
erty he left. Their value is alto
gather matter for the future to
develop. Aside from these Mrs.
Tabor and her two little girls are
absolutely penniless.
1t is understood that friends
vii take the matter in hand and
that petition may be prepared
and circulated at once in favor of
Mrs. Tabor as postmistress, Den
yer Republican, April IL.
