The new system of addresses and
signatures adopted by the government
In sending cable messages plays hob
with the high-sounding titles of some of
the officials. But it is cheap and equal
ly certain and direct. Under the new
code the acknowledgement of the army
of the United States becomes simply
"Agwar"-one word instead of nine
which results in saving in each mes
sage of something like IS. This new
scheme has been instituted because n
vast amount of money has been thrown
away by the use of unnecessary words
in official telegraphic communications
by cable between various government
officers. 1t was often the case that in
the direction and the addresses of these
cable dispatches there would he dozen
perfectly superfluous words, for the
had to pay the same as for the words
in the body of the dispatch. 1t is said
that one Of Skaters messages while in
Cuba, was addressed to 'the Hon. r. A.
Alger Secretary of War. War Depart
ment. Washington, ID. c." and was
signed wv. X. Shafter, Major General
Commanding Fifth Army Corps"
These twenty-one words cost the gov
ernment about $21. Under the new
code the dispatch would have been ad-
dressed "Secwar, Washington" and
signed "Shafter," and the twenty-one
words would have become reduced to
three, with a corresponding decrease in
telegraph tolls.

Fascinated Sea.Fish.

The Prince of Monaco, describing his
researches among the inhabitants of
the deep sea, says that many sailors
wrecked on the Atlantic who have per
ished Of hunger might have saved
themselves if they had possessed sim
pie fishing apparatus and known how
to use it. Various kinds of sea-fish, ac-
cording to the prince, are strangely fas-
cinated by any foreign object, such as
a log or a boat, floating above them.
They will accompany such an object
in large numbers for days at a time,
occasionally being lured in this way
entirely across the ocean. He therefore
suggests that all the principal boats of
a ship should be permanently provided
with fish-lines and hooks and a fish
spear, to be utilized in case the crew or
passenger are cast away at sea.

ing instincts composed her company
and they went forth to make trouble,
and they did it. They stole horses and
cattle, looted stores, robbed travellers
and rified banks and postOffices and In
their last battle for escape killed three
men and wounded several others Of
posse of citizens.
Lately they became so reckless that
the authorities had no difficulty IN 10
eating them. With posse OF twenty
men the sheriff of Stoddard County
rode out from Bloomfield, the county
seat, to the little village of Dexter.
A few miles away the band was losat-
ed in an isolated house. The sheriff
with his party took cover behind trees,
separated and surrounded the place.
While they were doing so the rifles or
the bandits were cracking from almost
every window In the house. They
were answered by the men behind the
trees and for two hours the battle was
kept ND. There were nine desperados
In the house against the attacking par.
ty of twenty. The sheriffs were draw
ing the fire of the bandits all they
could and reserving their own as much
as possible, the object being to exhaust
the supply of ammunition in the house.
Evidently the scheme of the attack
ing party became apparent to the Hen
erickson woman, for she had her men
cease firing and preparations We're
made for a rush from the house. When
all was ready she placed herself at the
head Of her band and rushed out of the
door, rifle In hand and gang at her
heels. She dropped on one knee, lev
eled her rifle and one of the attacking
posse fell. All then began a rush Of
200 yards against the posses position
They fired as they ran. When half the
distance was made old man Hendrick-
son fell dead. Emma knelt beside his
body and fired again and again. Bull
lets fell about her, but she fired all the
faster. Deputy Sheriff Booth dropped
dead and almost at the same instant
bullet pierced her breast and she
fell. She was captured. 3
Mollie Mathes, the leader Of the Kan
sas gang, is masculine in her bravery,

There has been a good deal of crlti-
cism on the proposition made by Pro-
fessor G. Stanley Hall that schoolboys
should be taught to fight. Doubtless
much of this criticism is based on a
misunderstanding of Professor Halls
position. and more on lack of informa-
ton concerning the subject under dis
cussion. If the results of school train
ing In England may be taken as crite-
rion, the teaching of boys TO be ever
ready to answer an infringement on
their rights with a knockdOwn blow has
brought most excellent results. To
teach boy that it is wicked to fight
and that under no circumstances should
he engage in tistic argument is to
make a Miss Nancy" of the boy and
to injure his future. There is a great
deal of difference between bullying and
asserting fearless self-respect. Out
in the world the boy, who has become
a man, will be greatly influenced by his
early training. He will have to COM
bat with his fellow men for supremacy
in business, profession, or politics, and
If he has been taught that it is wicked
to fight he will get the worst of the
struggle. Courage is trait which
comes to the boy through inheritance,
but fearlessness and bravery can and
ought to be cultivated. Most assuredly
does the timid child need TO be taught
bravery. To teach the opposite is to
ruin the prospects of the lad who has
the handicap Of inherited timidity to
contend with. The youth in our public
schools need not be instructed that
turbulence is meritorious characters
tic, but courage should be taught, and
when fight seems necessary it should
not be condemned as wicked.

Has q man a moral right to end an
existence that has become burdensOme
and intolerable? 1t is an old ques-
tion and New York police magistrate
has finally decided 1t. In spite Of the
opinion Of Mr.. Ingersoll to the con-
trary, civilization and social order have
decreed that q man has no more right
to take his own life than he has to
take that Of another. But this is the
law Of morals and of Christianity. 1t
remained for q police magistrate of
New York to give legal ruling on the
question. A young man was brought
before him charged with having at
tempted to throw off his mortal burden
by turning on the gas. After listening
to the young mans story the learned
jurist said: This is a sad case. l be
lieye In suicide, and l think every one
has q right to shuttle off when he has
nothing In life left for him. When
get SO that there is nothing left for me
/ think that is what | shall do" 1t is
not easy to decide which was the sad
der case, that Of the police magistrate
or the detected young man who had
grown weary of living. There is no
justification for this unpunishable
crime against society and humanity
Notwithstanding the decision Of the
police magistrate and the opinion OF
Mr.. Ingersoll it is generally agreed
among yertebrates that are capable OF
ordinary mental perception that the
man who commits suicide is a coward
No more pitiful exhibition OF coward
ice can be conceived than that of the
man who is willing to take his life to
