When the misdemeanor embezzle-

was called in the City Justices Court

a few minutes before.
Thinking that he would return in a
few minutes the Judge declared q re-
cess, but defendant came not. ON the
impulse the Judge was about to de-
clare the bond forfeited, but ne took
more lenient view later and con-
tinued the case until Saturday
Mr. Hart says he thought Judge An

WE. BoRAH ON FUsIoN.

apprchend that we are about through
with fusion. AS Silver Republi-
cans, our experience has been rath-
er instructive and painfully con-
elusive, so far as the question of fu-
sion is concerned. There were
many who thought it a mistake
from the start and believed it en-
tirely wrong in principle, but sub
mitted to it because they thought
that ii would lead to the formation
OF new party, which would accom-
plish something along the lines of
monetary reform. In other words,
1t was thought to be one OF the I'M
fortunate incidents OF that political
chaos in the midst of which we
found ourselves when we felt con-
strained to leave the old party be.
cause Of the financial plank.
But whatever difference OF opin.
ion may have existed; whatever of
hesitancy or faltering three years
ago, there should be none now. !
Fusion is not only failure viewed |
in the light of expediency and as
mere question OF machine politics,
but it is a puerile, characterless
system of politics, and no measure
OF reform, however great, can sue
coed by or through its aid. So far
as l am concerned, | shall not again
support any kind of fusion,
include in this, that fusion now
sometimes limited at, the fusion be-
tween the Gold and Silver Repub-
Leans.
A little reflection shows how
fusion has wrought for

| The man who ventures to de
nounce the administration OF Presi-

very bad light before his fellowmen.
A vast majority Of the people of this
country fully realize that this ad-
ministration will go down in history
as one OF the three greatest, and per-
haps not the least of those. Wash

resent three crises in our history,
and all gained immortal glory by
their patriotism, wisdom and mod

Mckinley more than Washington

day. The sharp tongue of detraction

as it did his two great predecessors.

far more generally recognized than
were theirs in their day. 1t is silly
and shoIt-sighted to assail him and |

From all indications, the tariff
question is not going to take a
prominent place in the next cam
paign, and while free silver will be
one Of the issues, it will not occupy
the prominence it did three years
ago. The Bryanites have found
that they must discuss this subject
less in order to hold the gold stan
dard democrats in line; opposition
to the Administrators war policy
will undoubtedly be the main

Even that view of the juvenile court
which one may get from reading the

suggesting its terrors to the youthful
defendants rather than in applying
them. The boy of IL charged with tru-

pleaded when confronted with the
court. will never be so much afraid of
1t again. Perhaps he will never be
so much afraid of any other court. In

An Italian countess has given her
extensive estates to a hygienic society
in that kingdom on condition that a
hospital for consumptives be built on
them. The act of philanthropy is
an incident in the world movement to
do more than aver for persons threat
ened with the terrible malady, or act
ually in its deadly grasp. The methods
of prevention and of aid rob the dis
ease of some of its power to destroy,
and promise larger gains in the saw
ing work. Resist the beginnings" is
a motto which has peculiar force in
dealing with phthisis: while the later
theory. justified by scientific investi-
cation. that a degree of isolation will
prevent the spread of the infection, is
a reinforcement to medication and

In n paper read before the Paris
Academy OF Sciences entitled Action
OF Some Gases on Caoutchouc," NJ.
D'Arsonval showed that ut pressures
varying from one to five atmospheres
caoutchouc absorbs large quantities
of carbonic acid gas and at the same
time increases in volume and becomes
more g%elatinous and less elastic. On
exposure to air the gas Is gradually
lost and the ca%outchouc resume its
original properties. Hence vessels OF
,caoutchouc readily allow carbonic acid
gas to pass through their walls. The
action is much slower in the case OF
oxygen and is slight with nitrogen.
From these experiments NJ. D'Arson-
val suggests that bicyclists should in
fate their tires with nitrogen. This,
however. would lot seem to be neces-
sary, according to Invention. for after
the tires have been repeatedly debated
through loss OF oxygen and then
pumped up with ordinary air the pro-
portion OF oxygen inside the tire Ia
comes small and practically pure nitI =
gen remains.
