old age, and thus avoid inquiry and the
necessity of investigation Such laxity
gives ample opportunity for crime. If
the Board of Health is going to issue
certificates for burial upon such fiimsy
evidence people who wish to get rid of
inconvenient relations had better take
note.
But let us suppose that the deceased
was really old. Is the case any better?
No. 1t must be clearly understood that
The star takes for granted there was
nothing wrong in this particular case,
and is merely supposing what might
happen. If a man is old he often be-
comes a burden upon his relations. He
may be Grabbed in his temper, and he
may even be uncleanly in his habits. 1t
becomes a great nuisance to have him
about. He may become the cause of
quarrel between husband and wife,
what so easy as to slip pillow over the
poor old gentlemen's mouth and pinch
his poor old nose, and poor old dear,
he'll go off like a lamb" as Mrs. Camp
would remark. And then there need be
no fear of any awkward questions be-
ing asked, or of the prying coroner COM
ing along. Why bless you, the Board of
Health will give a burial certificate.
Cause of death, old age" Age, un-
known" and everything will be all
right. But one does not envy the con-
sciences of the Board of Health under
the circumstances.
1t is true that we have a very law
abiding community and that we really
have very little crime but that is no
earthly reason why we should practi-
cally invite crime. 1t was stated the
other day that when a person died "un-
attended" the coroner should be noti-
fed, and The Star took the opportun-
ity of commencing the President of the
Board of Health for issuing the order.
But here is a case where the order is
calmly ignored.
1t does seem an extremely hard thing
to drive into the heads of our officials
that people should not be buried unless
those officials are satisfied as to the
cause of death, and that there is a GER
tain routine which must be fulfilled to
the letter, and that it is a serious
breach of duty to be deriict.
1t has been remarked by officials more
than once What are we to do. We
can't see after every death, and the
people must be buried. The only result
of your agitation is that we shall drop
the word unknown and guess at the
disease" The morality of this argu-
ment is very dubious. Such a course
would be nearly making false records
and the time would come when that
would be discovered. There is no need
for the board to investigate. The cor
oner must do that, but the coroner can
not act unless the board officials report
to him.
In town of $1,000 inhabitants, with
all the government machinery that we
have, and the large expense that that
machinery entails upon the public pock-
ct, it is absolutely criminal for any
corpse to be laid away and the health
officials be ignorant of the cause of
death. London has upwards of 1900, 900
of inhabitants, but there are no such
ridiculous entries on the health blanks
there as Cause of death, old age"
Age, unknown"

The story of the Detroit having sunk
the Nicaraguan gun boat San Jacinto
was a very fishy tale and the evening
papers of the 22d promptly contradicted
it. There is so much speculation con-
nected with Nicaragua, that the tale
may have been fabricated for purely
financial purposes.

THE OTHER STORY.
Revelation Mnde by the Discovery of
the Indian Picture of CusteP'a
Massacre.

In Ainslee's Magazine Is very inter-
esting account of some recent discov.
cred picture writing by an lndiun who
took part In the celebrated Custer mas
satgs. / he pictures are noticeable for
being the work of Sioux chief who
was IA prominent motor In the conflict.
The original pictures measured very
nearly two feet at zach dimension. The
first Of the two represents The Sioux
in their contest with Custer and his
men. The PROSTATE forms of white
men are scattered across the base of
the drawing. In the right upper corr
ner II soldier is seen falling from his
horse to the ground. Directly under
meath the characteristic fighting pos
lure Of the Indian on horseback Is de-
picted.
Notable features In the picture are
the bugles which are seen toward the
left lower corner. Only mind OF COM
prehensiye power could recall such
petty details in q scene of such excite
ment and carnage.
The other Illustration pictures the
dead Sioux after the battle. The differ
entiation Of the figures In their apparel
and adornment is not without signif-
cance. 1t is to be supposed that by this
means an intelligent Sioux could fix The
idertitr Of the slain. The wee p>l.s are
placed just beyond the grasp of re sew
eral figures. II is not an inadequate ex-
preston of the powerlessness of the
dead.

ABOUT THE open DOOR. e"

In view of Secretary Hays denial to
the Chinese minister, it is presumed
that the United States, any rate as
yet has not decided to claim any
sphere in China. According to opin-
ion here, Secretary Hays denial was
only to be expected at this stage, and,
whether or not it correctly forecasts
the attitude of the United States, it is
not regarded as dissipating the belief
that the open door" is now the basis
of negotiations between the powers. far
more comprehensive than mere answers
to the United States requests for as
Surances.
In addition to being the centre of at
traction in Europe's excitement over
mooted alliances, Mr.. Chamberlain oc-
cupies the centre of the stage in the

WORDS TOO PLAIN-SPOKEN.

Copyright, 1899, the Associated Press J
London, Dec. 2.-Mr. Chamberlain's
liking for straight-fiung words has not
only thrown the capitals of Europe into
turmoil, but his declarations have
been by no means acceptable to those
in England who are responsible for the
relations with the United States 1t
appears that when Mr.. Choate made
his Thanksgiving speech, he was quite
ignorant that Mr. Chamberlain was
speaking so definitely regarding tangi-
bic alliances, and the ambassador did
not intend his actions regarding Great
Britain, Germany and the United States
to be taken as confirmation of the CO.
lonial secretary's outspoken remarks.
1t would appear that Mr.. Chamberlain
only told half the truth, for, in these
dispatches of Nov. 25 it was pointed
out that negotiations We're afoot for an
alliance looking for settlement of the
lar eastern question. The Outlook.
particularly well informed on Chinese
matters, says this week:
THE keynote of the new understand
ing will be found in the words, open
door
