Now that the poisoned candy mania has
another and more dangerous method of
murder. Two or three days ago New
York man received in box what has been
identified as an asp of the old Egyptian
species. and in Rochester New York, an
actress was presented with two paste
board boxes, one of which contained flowers
and the other copperhead snake. For
escape was narrow one. The
worst thing about this new homi-
cidal craze is that there seems to be no
very good method of guarding against it..
The man or woman who. after reading of
the poisoned candy incident. partook Of
dainties from parts unknown deserves to
suffer some inconvenience; but the only
way of averting the snake-bite seems to
be to open with extreme care any parcel
which comes addressed in an unknown
hand. and take care to detect any signs
of life inside. If this is done there are
nine chances out of ten that the object
of this particularly fiendish method of
attack will get nothing but bad fright.
Moreover the postofice authorities rever
allow live things to be sent through the
mails if they can prevent it, and the
average postal clerk has keen senses and
is likely to detect the presence of any
thing unusual. 1t was observed dur
ing the course of the war with
Spain that very few crimes were
committed, and the police and detective
force had an easier time Of it than they
have had for years. For the last few
months the pent-up energies of criminally-
minded folk seem to have broken loose.
It is only to be hoped that the epidemic
is nearly over.

Judging from the summary received by cable.
the daring exploit of Colonel Funston in virtually
taking Calumpit with handful of men will rank
among the most gallant deeds in history. 1t was
an occasion that called for man of nerve. ener-

Sentry Duty In nInniln.

Letters from some of the soldiers at
Manila indicate that patrol duty in that
delightful town is not the most peaceful
job in the world. A Kansas volunteer
writes letter to one of the papers of his
native State, giving some facts which may
be interesting to the public in general.
especially that part of the public which
considers it cowardly to make war on the
Filipino. He says:
Last night South Dakota boy was attacked
by two natives from behind In approaching
they declared they amigos and he allowed
them to pass. Fortunately he happened to look
over his shoulder in time to see q knife descend
ing; he made jump and only received a small
cut instead of a stab that intended to kill
him. lie Immediately got his gun into position
and just as one of the natives making another
iungc he shot one of the fellows through the
neck, killing him instantly, and knocked the
other one down with the butt of his gun. :
Between 3 and O'Clock this morning. as
was walking my beat in front of the custon-house
ON the river front. happened to wheel around
just in time to catch n fellow sneaking up on
me-these people go barefooted and you cannot
hear them when they walk-I made him halt, and
pull his hand out of his shirt. which disclosed a
knife. l marched him to the guard-house at
the point OF the bayonet; when searched at the
guardhouse an ugly-looking knife, eight inches
long, was found on his person. He told the inter.
prefer this morning that he had intended to
kill me and get my gun with which to join
the insuirectos.
When a man walks his beat in the
night time, with the constant expectation
of being stabbed in the back or shot from
some dark corner. by native who desires
the weapons of the Americana he may be
pardoned for feeling rather excited when
he gets fair chance at the native in
broad daylight. OF course, this sort of
thing is not altogether due to peculiar
and innate meanness in the Filipino. 1t
is partly due to the fact that the natives
have been fighting Spain for some time,
and that stabbing in the back is an
approved .'dago" plan of vengeance. In
all countries which have been under
Spanish rule-Mexico, the South Ameri-
can and Central American republics, the
Spanish West Indies, and Spain itself
there is a complete lack OF the notion of
fair play, and it is a good thing for the
"Gringo" who travels there to have eyes
in the back of his head if he chances to
offend anybody.

Yale divinity school students have hit upon
novel way for assisting themselves in paying
their expenses through the Theological course.
They have opened 4 tailoring establishment in
one OF the rooms in West Divinity Hall, and
have sent out circulars stating that, owing to
the fact that they have no rent to pay, they
make a siit OF clothes from s. to so more cheap
~ than ordinary tailoring houses. They state
that they guarantee for year all suits against

A DEAD LAW

A New York journal ask > Governor
Roosevelt 10 explain why
enforce the law in that State against
prize fighting. The interrogatory is
pertinent, but the Governor as yet
has made no answer. In view Of the
open manner in which prize fights
are conducted in New York, people
not living in New York had reached
the conclusion that the law againt
prize fighting had been repealed,
But the law still remains on the stat
ute book, and doubtless the Governor
has reasons for net enforcing it. The
fact seems to be that prize fighting as
an entertainment and as a means of
profit is gaining ground. a few years
ago., when pugilists wanted to meet
in a ring under circumstances which
permitted the collection OF entrance
fees, they had to keep their move
ments secret. The authorities in all
the States made common cause against
them. The State authorities had got
the fighters into such a fix that the
only way out was to induce the Leg
islature of a State to authorize the
settle. Since that time prize fighting
has become comparatively respecta
BILE. There was no talk of arrestinr
the parties to the last championship
fight. The victor openly walked
away with mere money than an aver
age man can earn i'll the fifty years o.
his working life, and the loser was
allowed more than he could ever have
hoped to earn in his original occupa-
tien. In this case Nevada led the way
and New York followed. Another
match Is now being arranged in fine
disregard of the laws Ct the State.
Perhaps it would be as we'll for the
public as a whole not to pretend to be
better than they are. A coed many
reputable men attend prize fights.
There were 10, 900 people at the late
fight, and the aggregate of gate re.
ceipts was $4,000, There seems te
be a considerable sourc Of revenue

draw a $4,000 house. But the New
York journal which wants to know
why the law against prize fights wa:
not enforced weuld be shocked at
