IT is to be hoped that the memory

IT is to be hoped that the memory
OF the Julia Morrison trial will not
lnger long on the rublic mind. That
such revolving illustra ton Of human
depravity should be in flicted on the
public was a serious misfortune. Its
influence was baneful to the moral
tone; but as the repulsive story has
been published to the world In all
its sickening details, we can only
hope that the general condemnation
that 1t meets Is suggestive of a
healthy public sentiment. The
drift of public opinion shows very
plainly that Miss Morrison will be
foiled in the attempt to make capital
of her crime by the advertisement it
has given her. Her announcement
of her intention to begin in Chatta-
nooga her course of lectures on the
"Other Side of Stage Life" is meet
ing with the strongest disapproval.
She does not find the great public
element so admiring as the twelve
men who composed the jury in her
case, and it is probable that she will
soon be relegated to the oblivion
that she deserves. Entire Danish
ment from public thought and notice
will be cruel punishment to Miss
Morrison. Her whole story is
evidence of her desire to pose before
the multitude. To that end she
chose the very moment to murder
Leidenheimer when crowded
house was waiting for the curtain to
rise, and with that purpose still in
view she made the dramatic speech
in court at the close of her trial. A
measure of justice will surely be
done when the public ignores her
completely.

A NARROW ESCAPE,
Move of an Eyelid Keeps Woman from
BEING Buried Alive.

Move of an Eyelid Keeps Woman from
Being Buried Alive.
EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL.,, Jan. IL
Mrs. Christina Hirth emerged from
trance this morning to find herself
under process of being embalmed
and prepared for the grave. The
discovery of life was the result of
the meerest accident and astounded
the undertaken. The movement of
an eyelid saved the woman from
death at the hands of the undertaken.
or from burial alive.
This morning while her husband
watched at her bedside at the hos
pIta', she gave deep sigh and then
seemed to breath no more. When
the coLnty physician arrived he
pronounced her dead. The county
undertaken was called and shortly
afterward prepared to embalm the
body.
Mrs. Hirth was placed on the COOL
ing board and the work Of preparing
her for burial began. On each eve a
weight was placed to hold down the
lids. Over the face a white cloth
saturated with bleaching fluid was
spread. When ready to remove the
bleaching cloth he noticed that one
of the weights had fallen off. In "a.
placing it he thought he detected a
slight movement of the eyelash,
There was no beat of the pulse or
breath, however, so he set about pre-
pairing his instruments for the injec-
ton of the poisonous fluids used in
embalming. While thus engaged he
noticed faint culver OF the eyelid.
He summoned assistance and the
body was removed to a bed in the
hospital. The doctor was called and
restoratives applied.
Gradually the woman came out of
her coma and was able to move her
body. She was unable to discuss
her experiences, but made signs to
indicate that she was conscious of
all that had taken place. 1t is said
that she will regain some of her
strength and live for a while at least.

WHO WROTE DAVID HARUM?

Richard Allen White, the author
of Whats the matter with Kan

nOuncement that Rudyard Kipling
wrote David Harum. He appeals to
three gentlemen to corrobate his
statement, one of whom is no less a
parsonage than Edward w. Box E.
the distinguished editor of the
Ladies Home Journal. The others
are Frank N. Doubleday and Ros-
we'll NJ. Field, brother of the late
Eugene Field. Mr.. White tells the
following story of the authorship of
David Harum.
-Four years ago, Mr.. Box and Mr..
Doubleday made bet, Mr.. Double
day taking the affirmative, that Kip
ling's books would sell under any
other name as we'll as under Kipllng's.
For a consideration, Mr.. Kipling
wrote David Harum' and Box in
vented the name Edward Noyes
Westcott, from very noisy wiast-
coat of English pattern that Kipling
wore at that time. To avoid sus-
picion Mr.. Doubleday, who is Kip
ling's regular publisher, had an
other publisher bring out tie book,
and Rosw ell NJ. Field was appointed
referee"
Such is the story which has rails

THE HERALD would drop the tear
of Sympathy and respect upon the
bier of faithful old Bragg. What he
was, be was; and he stood not in
awe of any man to declare his prin-
ciples. Humble, poor and black
though he was, how few of us have
more friends than he had? And yet,
aged, helpless beggar though he
was, he never compromised prin-
ciple to gain favor, or betrayed a
friend to placate an enemy. He
never charged friend for any SER
vice he could perform, and he never
asked a penny or favor from one
he did not esteem gentleman and
his frieni. A rare character was
old Genl. Bragg, and he will live in
the memory Of this community long,
long after some Of us who think
ourselves so far above him, have
been dead and forgotten. His aristo-
cratic mien, his grandiIoquent style,
his big words oft misused, will be
told as legendary tales 70 children
yet unborn; and yet it was not these
that made the old mans character
strong and great; it was his faith
fulness, his gratitude, his love and
loyalty to his friends. Such virtues
as enobIe the character, elevate and
dignity the life Of any man. With
out them no man can be accounted
great; with them no man is un-
worthy emulation.

CENTURY EDUCATION.

NINErEENTH CENTURY EDUCATION.
Education H. tie cornerstone NJ
on which rests all the wond eriul
achieve ments of the nineteenth cen-
tury. 1t has been an age of un-
precedented progress in those in
ventions which improve the con-
dilions Of living. The steamboat,
railroad, telegraph, gas and electic
lights bring comforts, refinements
and luxuries to the humblest as well
rs the greatest. They are blessings
which benefit all and create, in
sense, a universal democracy. These
practical appliances for improving
the conditions of life, bridge great
chasm between the classes. The
time was when the poor were not ex-
pected to have any OF the con
veniences and comforts which at
tended the rich.
The nineteenth century has been
an age of enlightenment on social
problems. The great inventions
whose existence are due to the de-
sire to improve life, have not only
brought the ends of the earth to-
gether, but enlarged the oppoItuni-
ties for studying social conditions
with the hope that there might be a
diffusion of the blessings of civilizl-
ton among all people. The idea of
the fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man has dawned
slowly on the human race, but some
thing of the power and strength of
that thought has come as a
memorial of this era. The thought
existed in embryo when democratic
institutions were formed, and with
their growth, the idea has expanded.
Without free government and free
religion, a free printing press and
free schools to establish and foster
public thought, the extent OF mans
capabilities would never have been
known; and the browning glory of
the nineteenth century is that the
great wonders of the age have been
performed to promote the welfare
and happiness of ALL
The evolution of education made
progress possible. While education
was interpreted as learning. it was
confined by certain limitations
Education versus learning meant
deep research into dead languages,
abstract PHILOSOPHERS and abstruse
mathematics The accumulation of
scholarly lore was necessarily stored
in converts, universities and col
legts.
Under ecclesiastical rule tie
church claimed the prerogative in
intellectual attachments, and while
uducation m aant only vast gather
ing of facts and traditions in the
brain. the learning of the worlds
greatest scholars had a narrow in
| flnenct at the most.
When it was seen that education
meant the training of the mind to
prepare people for actual living, the
value of education began to be az
preciated and the fruits of educa-
ton soon became apparent in the
practical benefits which occurred by
the union of trained minds and
trained hands. Toe sensible ideas
of education which have developed
with the passing years of the nine
teenth century have been so effect
ual in producing practical results
for the improvement of living, that
the subject of education is constant
ly increasing in Importance, and
the different phases of the educa
tional problem now embrace all
things thai will make for the happi.
