Methodist bishop by the name OF
Cranston, from somewhere beyond the
Rock mountains, preached last Sunday
at West Superior, so it is reported. The
fact that the good bishop preached is
of no interest. neither perhaps would
his sermon have been had he not made
desperate attempt to attract attention
by being sensational. AS was fitting he
talked of the recent death of President
attempted to assign a sensational and
wholly foolish cause for the crime of
the assassin. Taking his cue from few
of the very yellow Republican journals,
he proceeded to deliver with all ms
Methodistic intolerance, a sensational
sermon, laying the cause of the great
crime at the humble door of the cartoon
list. Bishop Cranston has but q very
slight insight into human nature il he
believe 1--WE can't think he does for a
minute) what he says. The cartoonist
is essentially humorist. Very seldom
does cartoon contain more sarcasm
than humor. They cause one to smile
and often point a moral The weakness
OF a public character is often thus
shown more forcibly than in words. But
beyond this they do not stir the blood.
Malice and revenge do not spring from
feelings engendered from the cartoon
rather pity and contempt. The bishop
should try again. His first shot was
cartoon on his own intelligence.

NBW YORK. Sept. 1.-THE BOYS of the
First ward public school in Long island
City announced today that they would
not attend school until after the funeral
of President Mckinley, and when the

the smaller children from entering the

until it was nee ssary to send squad

Many Senators Said to Have

Washington. May 10 Treasury off,
cials have been watching with intense
interest the exciting situation in Wall
street. Several of those talked to were
inclined 10 say, 3 told you so, and cal
attention to the fact that two weeks agt
the treasury warned the people in a
serni-otficial manner tina, the period OF
wild speculation in Wall street could
have only one ending. which would be
financial panic and individual disaster.
These same officials are authority for
the statement that the panicky situation
in Wall street has not affected legiti-
mate commercial enterprises in the
slightest degree. On the contrary. II is
pointed out, that il is much better for
business to have a stock panic at the
present time rather than along in the
fall. Now the demand for money for
business enterprises is only normal 20
that there is a surplus TO spare for Wall
street. In the fall. however, money will
be needed in the west 10 move the

should be an extraordinary demand in
Wall street. there would be an inevita-

which would react on legitimate bust

AT the present time there is no appar-
lent s,ringency in the money market.

This fact, coupled With the strength

Runors of losses among members of

because practically all the statesmen
are out of Washington, and those who

doing SO recently at close quarters. In
fact, the Washington commission houses
and bucket shops, like those in every
exchange. have been unable to protect
their customers in any way, and have
practically been compelled to go out OF
business because the fluctuations on the
floor are much more rapid than they can
keep track of by telegraph.

1t Is chiefly women and children who ask
such questions, but 1t Is evident that in the
brains of many inexperienced persons Is
firmly established belief that wild animals
are dangerous-that wolves panthers and
bears prowl about seeking whom they may
des our.
This belief Is in all probability survival

pleasure to the tales of some venerable un-

In this land Of America, as many know
there are no such things as dangerous ami
mails. though there are creaturers which

may be made dangerous. The wolf, the bear
and the cougar are far more anxious to get
away from man than man Is to get away
from them.
If given the opportunity they will always
slip away and run, and il they fight 1t is
because they believe that they have been
cut off from every avenue Of escape.
Where an animal has been wounded 1t is
a different matter. Then often considera-
lions of prudence are forgotten and the an
imal acts on impulse, instead Of doing what
1t knows to be wise; but even So there is
much more danger from a wounded deer
than from a wounded panther, and vastly
more from wounded moose.
But for the average man who is travel
ing through new country where wild ami
mails may be plenty. who stops when he
has made a days march and Is at home
where night finds him, there Is not now, or
ever was, more danger from the wild ami

Many more people have been killed by
lightning than have been run over by stam-

most say that more people have been struck
by falling meteorites than have been killed
by panthers or wolves.

Misshapen Pearls Preferred.
rom the Philadelphfa TELEGRAPH.

1t is quite the fad for men returning from
abroad to wear large, misshapen pearls
mounted as scarfpins. These pearls are
frequently Of large size and sometimes OF
excellent color. They are sold in Paris as
genuine pearls, though at less price than
a perfect pearl of the same size would
bring. A young man wearing one which
was nearly as large as the end Of his
thumb came into downtown Office on Sat-
urday. This pearl was mounted on scarf
pin. 1t was lopsided and generally out OF

made on 1t, and when the expert who ex-
amined 1t pronounced 1t a genuine pearl
the critic was forced to pay. They are one
OF the abnormal features OF the Paris ex-
position and Americans have brought them
home as souvenirs.
Another craze Of which returning tourists
tell, though as yet few are adopting 1t, is
the fashion Of stringing ones self about
with common glass beads, like the verfest
savage. Two Well-known representatives
OF the best society have been seen thus
adorned. but in each case the chains were
broken by. pieces of turquoise cabochon.
Cabochon or no, however, they are decora-
tive details most elementary and barbaric
in appearance, truly relic Of primitive
countries. It Is not likely they will have
much vogue, however, in exclusive circles
here, for they are ooseasily initiated.

A Courtesy That Didn't Please Her.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer

FROM the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A newspaper man boarded a Euclid car
the other evening and secured a seat
something unusual. Then he became alb
sorbed in his evening paper. The car filed
up rapidly. At Bond street 1t was crowd
ed. Out of the corner of his eye the news
paper man noted the fact that all the stand
ing feminine element in the car was made
up of girls. and quite young girls, too. So
he held fast to his seat.
But farther uptown lady and a number
of pretty girls came aboard. The lady's
paper man caught sight of her he rendered
her his seat. The offer was accepted with
a very curt nod Of thanks. The newspaper
man hung to strap close to the lady and
couldn't help but hear her remarks.

girls. II suppose this seat is tribute to
my gray hair"

made grave mistake when he singled her

lady continued. with an unpleasant rasp in
her voice. because you are so young and

The newspaper man was now thoroughly
convinced that he made mistake.
1T isn't at all pleasant to have ones in
firmities so publicly pointed out" the lady
resumed. But, luckily, am not as old
as look"
And then the newspaper man firmly VOW
ed that the next time he gave up his seat
in car he'd try and select mildly APP
preciative subject. But, of course, you
can't ever tell until it's too late to rectify
blunders.
