He Is a Marrying Man.

Robert Patterson of Brooklyn has de-
veloped a mania for marrying, which
left unrestrained will, in time, un.
doubleday, land him behind prison
bars or in padded cell. Although
he has wife, he has sought to marry
his own mother-in-law, his wife's sis.
tiers and her bridesmaids. 1t is said
that this mania developed Immediate
ly after his marriage to handsome
and exemplary young lady. The doc
tors say that Patterson's mind has
been affected by his marriage, and
that the latent love in his nature
seeks an exit all at once, as it were.
This opinion is about as satisfactory
as is usually rendered by the learned
men, but to render it ineligible to or.
binary mortals, they should define
what love is--or rather the quality Of
the emotion which is so expansive in
its nature as this seems to be.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says that
the case is exciting the greatest inter-
est in the east, and will possibly lead
to other developments which may
throw some light upon the cause of
the mania which seems to have taken
absolute control of the victim. In
other words, we may be able to deter
mine just what's the matter with
Bobby Patterson even though the
query as to "Who struck Billy Pat
terson" still remains unsolved.

The Costs of Militarism,

Senator Hale, of Maine, made n
startling statement in the American
" House of Lords the other dav.
when he gave the figures of the rapid
ly increasing cost of our military
service and the prohigate expendi-
lures accredited To the civil list. 1t
shows very plainly what we may ex-
pect when imperialism, to which we
are rapidly drifting, is firmly estab-
lished
DO you realize, patriotic citizens,
that this republic, in time OF alleged
peace, Is paying more for army, navy
and pensions than any other nation
on earth? DO you know that it
amounts To more in the aggregate
than OF Germany and France com
bined? Are you aware that Great
Britain, Austria and Italy together
pay less for their military establish
ments than our country is now pay
ing for that service?
Mr. Hale estimates that the mill
tary, naval and correlative pension
expenses of this government, will
reach very nearly, if not exceed, $780,
100000, at this session of Congress.
This is made up of $l75,000,0OO the
administration demands for the mill
tary establishment, $7S ,G96,973 re-
ported in the Naval bill, and the PEN
sion appropriations already made and
special bills still pending, will, the
Senator claims, run the aggregate to
the figures he has stated. For the
six first days of the present month,
the War Department had paid out
$3,j7O,OOO, or practically half a mil
lion n day. In the same time the
Navy Department had distributed
million of dollars, and the pension
bureau $3,55O,00O.
Mr.. Hale gives the amount dis
bursed by the War Department since
July LIST, 1900, to the beginning of the
fiscal year at $97, 35S,5O1, the Navy
at $50, S64.OS9, and for
pensions, for the same period $S5, 724,-
992, an aggregate, in round numbers
Of $217, 100000, or 100000 per
month, a grand total OF 1882, 900,
which will be increased by special
pension bills now pending, say twenty
more.
Verify, imperialism comes high, but
then, we need not have it, if the PEG.
pie awaken to the peril in time of the |
trend Of'eyents.

IT is amusing to read the comments
OF some Of the Jim Crow" papers of
the State on the capital question.
Their want OF knowledge OF facts is as
notorious as their ignorance Of the

are as conspicuous as the contemplate
disposition to say something low and
mean about community which is the
