The bold burglary at the Bavarian
brewery, on Tuesday morning, was q
crime without counterpart in this city
since the famous attempt to rob the
National Bank of Delaware, in No
vember, 1873. At that time, the pro-
fessional gentlemen who engineered the
job and well-nigh succeeded were
given taste of the whipping post and
pillory. and the lesson was SO salutary
that criminals Of their class gave Will
mington a wide berth from that day to
this. 1t is believed that some high
grade criminals were concerned in the
Bavarian brewery job, which makes it
all the more important that they should
be captured, convicted. and given a
turn at the pillofy and post. This form
Of punishment is SO distasteful to pro-
fessional cracksmen of skill and repu-
tation that they do not care to even
run the risk Of encountering it, and 60
they seldom attempt to operate in
Delaware. An application Of the "cat''
to the brewery burglars may have the
effect Of freeing US from the intrusions
of these dangerous gentry for many
more years.

Newark. May 10. John Gainey, who
says he is a Washingtnnian, came here
on Saturday night, and acted in a
mysterious manner. He was arrested
by the town bailiff, and locked UP until
Sunday morning, when he was released
and left town. On Monday morning,
Harvey Baldwin, proprietor of the Red
Mills, 21a miles east of Newark, found
Gainey. partly nude and almost ex-
hausted, wading in White Clay Creek.
With the assistance of his miller, Mr..
Baldwin took Gainey to his house, and
gave him dry clothing, after which they
brought him to the Office of Magis-
tate Medill, where he was examined
by Drs. Henry and Kollock. who pro-
nounced him insane. The magistrate
committed Gainey to Farnhurst. His
relatives, who, he says, live in Wash
ington, will be communicated with.

wnIpmuspo.. for w,r.-s..,.r..

Governor Roosevelt's expression in
favor Of reviving the whippingpost for
wifebeaters has given rise to variety
OF comment. most of it favorable. Every
thoughtful person who has the interests
Of society at heart and has brains
enough to distinguish between true
and false philanthropy, says the Wash
ington Post, will sustain Governor
Roosevelt and applaud his sentiments.
Experience has shown that criminals
OF the lowest class-the beasts who
torture their helpless wives and chill
dren-are not deferred by the ordinary
penalties, fine, Imprisonment, &c. ;
that the iails are for them merely
comfortable places of rest and recrea-
tion-refuges where, after a long course
OF drunkenness and brutality, they
find medical attention, warmth, shelter
and abundant food. They SEQ no shame
in the luxurious dungeons of today.
Crime is their regular pursuit, tho
cell familiar and sometimes well
come incident. A brawny ruffian, who
was sentenced in New York the othor
day for wife beating, shook his fist
at the trembling ard still bruised
victim as he was led from court and
said: "Wait till | get out, you - !;
I'll settle with you!" He was simply
going to a place OF cheerful GONZALES
cence, and by the time he recovered
his health and strength he would be
ready for another carouse and new
exhibition Of inhuman cruelty. Even
the Judge, Injured as he was to crime
and criminals, sbuddered on the bench
as he thought OF the wretched woman q
fate.
There should be new and more suit
able punishments for such fiends as
these, the Post concludes. The exist
ing penal code has no terrors for them.
imprisonment is a mere training for
the next bestial orgy. Disgrace is a
word unknown in their infamous vo-
cabulary. What they need is the lash.
1t is the only thing they fear. 1t is
tho one agency through which they
can be made to feel remorse. 1t pre-
sents the sole possibility of protection
for the helpless and the innocent Let
those who are SO concerned about the
brutality" and "barbarism" Of the
whippingpost inspect a few victims of
tho wife and child beater. Let them
consider whether, in order to prevent
one brutality" they are justified in
encouraging another, and still worse
one.

There was further bad break in the
New York Stock Market Tuesday. the
declines being even more violent than
those of the day before. The weak
ness, as before, was chiefly in the in
dustrials. With total sales exceeding
1,o20, 600 shares, prices OF 121 stocks
closed 1sa15 per cent lower. Monday
l24 stocks declined 1sasA per cent.
Taking both days together, Sugar has
declined 10 points; Tobacco, IL Brook
lyn Rapid Transit, 1919 Federal Steel,
33s; Manhattan, 6; Metropolitan, 10
to PIG, closing at 223. In most cases
the extreme declines were larger than
these figures show, for the closing
prices yesterday were generally at some
recovery from the lowest, although the
market was still very weak. For over
week now prices have been on the
downward track, and the liquidation
has continued.

A recent judicial Interpretation Of
the ordinances governing Sunday traffic
in Atlanta practically revolutionizes
the first day of the week in that city.
Sunday there had become much like
the day in the Western cities, with
practically all places of mercantile
business open, and with electric cars
conveying crowds of people to nearby
pleasure resorts, where a circus or a
theatrical performance constituted part
Of the entertainment. But the police,
after long period of indifference,
started in on last Sunday to enforce
the almost-forgotten ordinances. They
stopped side-show performance, inter
fered with the bootblacks, and arrested
about SO merchants. Recorder Broyles
suspended judgment in all cases, but
upheld the action of the police, and
announced strict enforcement here
after Of the letter of the ordinances.
These, as the recorder understands
them, require the closing of all stores,
except those engaged in the sale OF
drugs, of soda water, and of cigars
and tobacco. Drug stores are priyi-
legod under state law to sell drug
gists' sundries, as we'll as medicines,
but tobacco dealers may not sell or
expose for sale on Sunday anything
else. Theatrical performances must
cease, bootblacks may not polish shoes,
and the delivery Of goods is restricted
to ice, milk and bread, for restaurants.
If the recorder and the police maintain
their present attitude, Sunday in
Atlanta will be much like Sunday
in New England town in the olden
days:
