guished soul. "Oh, look upon me! Look
upon my spirit with your eyes" What
nonsense! How could she? "And
touch me-" he insists, as if nothing but
touch will ease him, with the bene-
diction of your hands," A rolling pin
would be more effective, but hear him
out: Breathe upon me, breathe upon
me, and my soul shall live. Kiss me
with your mouth upon my mouth and
l shall be strong" We doubt it. The
young gentleman's nerves are evidently
badly shattered, and nothing but quiet
and a regular and long course of tonics
will tend to restore his strength. The
poet may not have gone too far. If he
has not and can calm himself long
enough to write to Ella Wheeler Will

good advice. Meantime he might try

Riches Arrive From Nome.

Port Townsend, Wash, Sept. 90
Two steamships, the Oregon and the
Portland, arrived from Nome today.
The former had 462 passengers and the
latter So passengers, two boxes of bull
lion and a partial cargo of Arctic furs.
According to the records of the quar-
antine officers, 1000 people have ar
rived from Alaska and have been in
spected here during the past four days.
Smuggling across the British Colum-
bia line into the United States has
been carried on extensively of late.
The officers have been keeping care
full watch, and today were rewarded
for their vigilance. Collector Heustis
received a telegram from Sumas an
nouncing the arrival of two men with
a pack train of five horses laden with
general merchandise and miners sup
plies. The goods were purchased in
British Columbia, and were destined

The editor of an anarchistic newspa-
per published in this country hailed the
murder of King Humbert with an edi-
torial paean of joy. He frankly con-
ceded that Humbert was kind and esti-
mable, personally, and that he had not
been guilty of depressing his people;
yet this man rejoiced in his death mere
ly because he was a king. What sort
of man it is who breaches such doc
trines-what sort of men anarchy
Ibreeds-is well brought out by the COM
ments of a Chicago paper on this edi-
tor: HE is not worker, but a dead
beat He spends most of his time con-
Stunning beer and giving utterance to
the desire that people may be killed.
He is not even brave man. When he
was last wanted by the police he had
to be dragged out from under the bed
where he had hidden" This is q just
arraignment, not merely of an anarch-
list, but of anarchy.

Insects and Music.

Tarantulas do not dance to the sound
of the violin, but let the people they
bite do the dancing; scorpions, how
ever, enjoy f1ddling, according to the
Quarterly Review, and lizards go crazy
for music of any kind. AS for serpents,
the boa constructor and python are
senseless to melody, but the cobra is
fascinated by the flute and still more by
the fiddle. Polar bears enjoy the violin;
so do Ostriches; wolves will stop in the
chase to listen to a cornet; elephants
are fond of the flute, especially the up
per notes; tigers, while approaching
violin and flute, cannot stand the har-
monica, while the musical seal shows
no emotion on hearing any instrument,
not even the bass drum.

Rome, Sept. 3O.-During the beatif-

first chiefs of the order of Oratorians
at st. Peters Cathedral this afternoon,
the Pope venerated the effigy of the

His Holyness displayed remarkable

raised himself from the place of kneel-

ance, walked with firm step to the
altar, and ultimately returned to his

Zone of the things that strikes one
most forcibly in this country" said an
English observer, who has been spend
ing some weeks in the United States,
I1s the way in which your young men
not only support themselves but push
on into positions of trust. Our English
boys certainly seem to be better edu-
Gated, but the American boys beat 'em
hollow in self-reliance and horse sense,
as believe you call it here. Perhaps
It is owing to the different way in
(which the American young man looks
at things. The English boy, starting
out in life, obtains a berth'-which is
something to sleep in-or he finds sit
uation.' The American boy either gets
job or goes to work for somebody.
There is a whole revelation of mental
attitude in those different phrases"

leaf1et explains that every woman can
contribute toward helping the sick

Is the face of a beautiful woman
public property, to be used in yellow
pictures on cigar boxes and flour bar
rels, or can its owner claim the right
of privacy" and protect that right in
the courts? This was the question at
issue in suit for $4,000 damages
brought by beautiful young girl of
Rochester against the Franklin Mills
Company and the Rochester Folding
Box Company for the use of her por-
trait, unknown to herself, as an adver-
tisement for flour. The chief conten-.
ton Of the fair plaintiff was that her
fright of privacy" had been invaded,
causing her mental injury and distress.
1t Is gratifying to note that Justice
Davy, of the Supreme Court, sided
with the plaintiff. His ruling, in which
he overruled the demurrer to the COM
plant, embodies so much sound reason
ing that it is safe to regard it as an
indication of what may be. expected
from the courts when cases of this
kind are brought in the future. In the
course of his decision the Judge said:
in this action that the plaintiff is
within the category of what might be
denominated public character. She is
undoubtedly a young woman of rare
beauty, and this she enjoys as private
citizen. 1t is very natural, if the plain
tiff Is of a modest and retiring nature,
that any such publicity would be ex-
tremely disagreeable and offensive to
her. 1t is not impossible, therefore.
that she has suffered and continues to
suffer great mental injury and dis
tress." The Judge further declares that
if the photographic likeness, owing to
its beauty, is of great value as trade
mark or advertising medium, 1t is a
property right which belongs to the
complainant and cannot be taken from
her without her consent. The conten-
ton of the young woman of Rochester
raised point which, it is claimed, has
never been passed upon in the courts of
this country.

that, although there was an ordinance

worthy people it may not be immoral.
But that it is inexcusable on the ground
of good manners, good taste and a
