Making Crime Profitable.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:


1 see by the report in The Star that John
son, alias Williams who defrauded the col
ored woman of 5000, has been fined $50 in
each of the six cases or three months in
Jail for each case. According to that he is
to pay $500, when he got 5000, or stay in
Jail eighteen months. At that rate a
scouudrel can conduct the business for life
at the handsome profit of 100 per cent on
what he pays out!
1t strikes me that such punishment if
punishment it can be called, cannot have
much of a deterring influence on rascals of
his stripe. 1t may be that under the law no
greater fine could be imposed but, if so, it is
clear that the law ought to be changed.
There is also another point in which it
seems to me the law or the practice, or both,
ought to be changed, and that is to compel
restitution, and where they have not the
the penitentiary, allowing them regular
wages for whatever they could do, and at
the eEd of the term pay the money over to
the party wronged. III
There certainly is no reason or justice in
allowing criminals to retain possession of
their ill-gotten gains and compelling the in
nocent victim to suffer the Ioss.-In fact, /
think our criminal laws need a general over
hauling. both in the interest of the victims
and to render them more of a deterrent from
crime. OBSERVER

Replying to an inquiry of Mr.. w. c. Has
kell, the District sealer of weights and
measures, the attorney of the District, to
whom the question was referred for an
opinion, has informed the Commissioners
that the act of Congress of March 3, 1889
to punish the impersonation of weighmas-
ters in the District permits corn to be sold
either by weight or by barrel. and that
when it Is sold by the barrel 1t need not

Actual warfare had scarcely com

gan 10 realize that Kansas produces
something besides grasshoppers and
high winds. The Filiplnos had not
fallen back into their second line of
trenches until the world was made
aware chat the Twentieth Kansas
had driven them out of their first.
Colonel Funston With handful of
the Kansas regiment went out and
got them. \ forward movement was
determined on the iayhawkef colonel
and his willing followers were in the
van.
Lloyd Wheaton, a veteran of many
battle on the frontier. started to whip
Aguinaldo out of Malolos. His col
umn, called the flying column, was
detached from MaeArthurs division
and projected northwestward from
the defenses before Manila. Funston,
of course, was in this flying column.
for speed, decision, skill and pluck
were needed; he has them all and his
men have also. Wheaton succeeded
in his object. Every paper in the land
printed his picture, but beside it could
be seen the boyish face of the Kansan
covered by soft brown beard of re-
cent growth.
Then Macarthur started up the
country to whale Aguinaldo out of his
boots. He took Wheaton. Hale, Otis
and had Hall in reserve. The four
columns marched away, regulars bri,
gaded with Funston's raw levies.
They fought their way through jun
giles and over frightfully rough coun-
try, but they advanced. A river, sup
posed to be impassable was met with
not far from Malolos; Funston and

half a company of his men swan over
and kicked several hundreds of Fill
pinos out of the trenches
Those who have sat in admiration
of the exploits of the gallant Kansas
officer have probably not realized
what this swimming of rivers in I.u-
zon means. All, of course, are aware
that the deeds Were accomplished in
the face of determined fire. But who
has stopped TO think or realize that
the rivers of that archipelago are
thronged with huge man-eating croco-
dies? Men soon learn to face a storm
of bullets and even joke about them
be willing to face the prospect of fur
nishing a meal to hungry crocodile.
Yet this is what that youth from Kan
has has done more times than the
cablegrams show.
Since the boys from the West faced
the night attack of Augusti at Malate,
delivered in the throes of n frightful
storm; since the gallant men from GO
pherdom and Sandburryille turned
back the eXultant don, making SEEM
ing victory, sweet because of the aw-
full slaughter of Cayite. the bitterness
of abject repulse and defeat the world
has realized that the wind-swept
plains of the West produce something
more desirable than atmospheric dis
turbances. Since the men who follow
the figure 90 on the broad blue banner
of Funston's regiment have taken to
swimming crocodle-infested rivers
that they may mingle with Filipinos
the world has taken sudden interest
In sunflowers.
This interest is not born of estheti-
cism; it is virile, manly interest. 1t
means that if Kansas can produce n
regiment of such sunfowers then
Kansas deserves TO stand well llp Mt
the head of the list of States. No State
in the Union-with one possible excep-
tlon-has cause to blush when the
names of her soldiers are mentioned.

Eccentrioities Not Signs of insanity.

Eccentricities Not Signs of Insanity.
An Eastern physician has broached
theory in regard to some noticeable
ecentricities. Many of the foremost
men of the world at present and in the
past have had queer little habits which
make them a laughingstoc some
times behind their backs only. to their
friends and acquaintances. The great
Samuel Johnson, for instance, never
could pass a lamp-post without touch
ing it, and always kept collection Of
lemon and orange peels under his pill
low. Emile Xola has many little hui
mors, the qualification of which form
the basis of his daily happiness. These,
says the psychologist, are not signs OF
insanity. but of overwork. The tired
brain feels impelled to do certain
things The human mind Is most
complicated machine, and although
nice exposition of the causes of these
really insignificant matters Is impossi-
bic to general public, it can be con-
tidenuy stated that the healthy mind,
when fatigued by days hard work, is
none the less sound for the queer things
it may impel the hand to do.
