The contest over the viii of Jacob s

connective manufacturer has taken Gu
rious turn The testator wlled the bulk
90 his fortune 10 the New York MetropoIi-
tan Museum OF Art. and his relatives con-
tested the viii on the ground that de
ceased was mentally Incompetent. That
ground of contest has been abandoned.
and the viii has been admitted to pro-
bate But the contestants now make the
point that the viii was in violation of an
agreement between the deceased and his
brothers 10 tho effect that if any of them
died without issue his property should
go TO the children of the others In this
aspect of the ease peculiar questions of
law and equity are involved The trial

Nine professional anarchists who had
been held in Chicago since the shooting
OF the late President Mckinley. have been
enlarged for lack of evidence To- directly
connect them with the crime. This action
by no means shows that the authorities
necessarily regard them as innocent Cir
cuIstau,cs point the ether way in one OF
two cases at least, but proof is wanting.
Very few people doubt that the assassi-
nation 20 Buffalo was the result Of an am
arehl-t plot, and that the assassin was
the tool Of the cgnspirators. The truth
may be reached some day.

Judging from our Havana advices Senior
Tomas Estrada Palma appears certain to
bee selected as the first President of Cuba.
His statements concerning his attitude
upon tho various questions which the new
Government will bC called upon To meet
apparently have given satisfaction to the
leaders of an factions and it looks as II
ne might he elected without opposition.
Among other matters which his epistle to
the Cuhaus treats of, Senior Palma says
that Cuban independence is recognized by
one of the clauses Of the Plat amendment
in the most solemn manner. If the con-
text Of the same amendment does not also
recognize American suzerainty, if not di-
rrCtIy. then by necessary implication. we
are greatly mistaken.

The impression seems to have gone

C0STOF CRIMINALS.

A writer in the St Louis Republic gives the following interesting figures iii the cost of criminals:
 Criminals are very expensive mem bers of the community. They cost the people of this country about s1,0o0.- 900 ,060 a year. If their increase could be prevented it would be pay ing investment to give each of the 25o ODD accepted criminals monthly pension of $300 on the condition that they take a life vacation from the strenuous demands of their profes- sion But we accept the criminal as part of our ciYilization-or barbar- ism-and pay the enormous cost of maintaining him.
 The average annual income of pro- fessional criminals is estimated at about $1 600 This means that the community pays them a yearly salary of $40o 000,000 After this is spent for their maintenance, we pay annually S200 900 ,000 for their dectection, con. viction and support, under national, state, county and city auspices The urban population has to pay the larger share of this. or 30000,0oo people in cities have to pay $f05090. .00o-$3. 50 per capita, and the surburban poplJla- ton of 45.oOo.oo0 $1 each, or $45. 5.aao. oao In addition to this there is a federal and state expense of $5o 4R4,- 0e6.
 Add to this the loss by malicious de- struetfon of property the money Vslue of human fife lost through crime. the expenditure necessary in tho attempt to guard against loss through law breakers, and we find that $iooe9oo9a0 s not larga estimate.

Brains Saved by Machines.

A machine which does the work Of
six clerks without making their mis-
takes has been introduced into several
Chicago banks. 1t weighs. counts and
sorts gold coins. delicately separating
the worn ones-which lose four cents
in value for every grain rubbed off
from the pieces Of standard weight.
Adding and change-maklng machines
have already been long in use in banks
and commercial houses. Cash-regis-
tiers are familiar savers of time and
figuring. In many markets there are
patent scales which indicate weights
and calculate prices at the. same time.
1t is worthy OF notice that what
these pieces of mechanism relieve Is
not the hand but the brain of man.
They serve to spare the arduous exer-
else of certain mental faculties, just
as books of ready reference make
enormous strains OH the memory uu-
necessary.
AS inventions multiply which tighten
mems brains of mass Of clogging de-
tail more room is left for other things
in the human mind and a greater free
dom of mental processes is afforded.
These brain-saving devices, then.
must be ranked high among the instru-
ments of progress, overcoming handi-
caps for the intellects that must go
racing On.-New York World.

When Spain Died,

Spain died of empire centuries ago.
She has never crossed our path. 1t
was only her ghost which walked at
Manila and Santiago. In 1880, the
Augustinian friar La Puente thus
wrote Of the fate Of Spain: Against
the credit for redeemed souls l set
the cost Of armadas and the sacrifice
of soldiers and friars sent TO the Phil
ippines. And this I count the chief
loss, for mines give silver, and forests
give timber, but only Spain gives
Spaniards, and she may give up so
many that she may be left desolate
and constrained to bring up strang-
ers' children instead of her own"
This is Castillo" said a Spanish
knight; "she makes men and wastes
them" This sublime and terrible
phrase" says Lieutenant Carlos Gil
man Calkins, from whom 1 have re-
ceived both those quotations, sums
up Spanish history"
The warlike nation of to-day is the
deeadent nation of tomorrow. 1t has
ever been so, and in the nature &C
things 1t must ever be.-POpular Sci
ence Monthly.

A Newspaper Mans Enemies,

Once there was newspaper man
who died without having made any
enemies. But his demise occurred
before the first issue Of his paper. No
fellow can conduct paper fOrty-eight
hours without writing something
which somebody does not wish pub
lished. And that somebody is usually
a fellow whom the editor has obliged
over and over again. Henry Ward
Beecher once said that an epitaph
"He had no enemies" would apply
most fittingly to cabbage head. Edi-
tors who succeed may measure their
success by the enemies they make

THE PRESIDENT ABROAD.
The Idea That He Cannot Visit ForeigD
Soil a Mere Superstition.

Soil a Mere Superstition.
There is a popular superstition that
the President of the United States is
inhibited from leaving this country
during his term of Office, but it is SUI
perstition only. The article of the
Constitution which relates to the Pres
ident contains no provision of the sort,
and therefore the President Is quite
free to do precisely as he chooses In
this matter. x
The reason why no President has
ever visited foreign countries until ar
ter his retirement has probably been
due to the fact that in the early years
of the republic, before the invention
of the telegraph and before the laying
Of the Atlantic cable, and also before
the development of steamships or
great speed, absence from the country
would have meant so protracted sew
erance of communication between the
executive and the subordinate officers
of the Government as to constitute
what would have been practically an
inability to discharge the powers and
duties Of his office. When it required
month to make the voyage to Europe
and when letters and orders could be
transmitted only by sailing packets,
or. afterward by steamship, it would.
of course, have been impossible for
the President to visit England with
out practically abdicating his office
and installing the Vice-President IN
his place. But now, when the time re-
uuired to pass from New York to
Queenstown is but little more than
five days, and when immediately upon
his landing he would be in Geographic
communication every moment with
his Cabinet, there exists no satisfac-
tory reason why he should not feel
entirely free to perform striking act
in international courtesy.
1t is not. indeed, true, that no Presi-
dent has ever gone beyond the boun-
diaries of his country. President Ar
thur during his term of office, went to
Florida by sea. and although he did 50
on vessel of the navy, and was there
fore technically still upon American
soil he was. as matter OF fact, shut
off from communication with the adj
ministrative departments for several
days; and President Cleveland also on
one occasion, while shooting in the
Adirondacks, crossed the Canadian
border, and for several hours was,
without knowing it, actually upon
British territory.
If, indeed. the President Of the Uni
ted States were now to visit Egypt he
need never be so remote from Wash
ington in point of facility Of commu-
nication as was President Monroe
when, during the era of good feeling.
he left the seat of Government and
travelled by canal and coast and car
riage to the city OF Boston.-The Book
