.IPP.ROPRIITE.

| The late ex-senator Bradbury of Au-
gusta, Maine, had some good IDEAS
One of them found expression in his
will. In making a beouest of $4,000 to
Bowdoin college, to be held in trust,
the income of $4,000 to be used in aid
of providing instruction in elocution,
Mr.. Bradbury said his attention had
been arrested by the absorbing interest
of the students in some educational in
situations in purely physical contests,
and it appeared to him that it would
be salutary and valuable to have intel
lectual as well as physical contests. He
accordingly directed that the income of
the remaining $4,000 going to the college
shall be used as prizes in oral debates.
Intellectual contests do seem rather
appropriate for institutions of learning,
and they ought to be encouraged. OF
course it cannot be expected that they
will rank in interest and excitement
with the physical contests, or be as good
advertisements. But a few OF them
wont do any harm and may do some
good. Anyhow, they will look WELL

Those who break Sunday by playing
golf or by doing other things that may
disturb some of their neighbors will be
interested in a decision and some re-
marks that have been made by Justice
Everett of Chicago. Complaint was
made against managers of Chicago the
aires for giving performances on Sun
day. The Illinois law provides that
whoever disturbs the peace and good
order Of society by labor, works of me-
cessity and charity excepted, or by any
amusement or diversion on Sunday,
shall be fined not exceeding s25." In
Diminishing the complaint, on the ground
that the performance did not create
"any disturbance affecting the peace
and good order of society,"" the Justice
said: "The complaining witness in
these actions does not complain of hay
ing been himself disturbed at any time
by the Sunday performances, nor have
any Of the church people who have tes-
titled begun any prosecutions The
complainant has not himself been dis
turbed, nor have people who he says
have been disturbed made complaint.
While any person knowing Of an Of
fence may complain, yet the fact that
the complainant has not suffered, in a
case alleging o general evil, may be
considered as part Of the evidence"
The Justice pointed out that thrty-one
States prohibit Sunday theatrical per-
formances, and that in general these
laws are based on an English statute
passed in 1876, which required people
to observe the day "by exercising them
selves in the duties of piety and true
religion, publicly and privately" The
offence under the English statute and
those in this country based on 1t Is the
performance of labor or business" on
whereas the offence under the
Illinois law is merely the disturbance
of the peace and good order of society,",
The intent of the Illinois statute was
to establish a law upon a policy pe-
culiar to itself, and which in the opin-
ion of our law-making power, was best
ada pied to our citizens" ut followed " |
the Justice said, that, so long as the J
theatres do not actually disturb the |
peace and good order of society by |
creating physical disturbance, there

Judging by the way we are soaring
the Europeans we must be almost as big
as we feel The Austrians are now ex-
hibiting their fear of us. The Vienna
Journal considers that great struggle
between America and Europe will con-
stitute the leading characteristic of the
dreaded Americans are going to flood
| Europe and Asia with their industrial
products. 1t thinks that if the European
| States do not act in concert they will
be defeated by America, who will real
ize her ideal of commercial supremacy.
And the Vienna Tageblatt says: Ow-
ing to the almost intolerable burden of
taxation imposed on Europe by mill
tarsm America, whose national wealth
shows enormous and steady increase, is
gradually becoming the creditor of the
whole world Within the next few de-
cades all the European States as well
as Australia, japan and China, will be
her debtors, If they do not take precau-
lions in time to prevent themselves

The Caribbean seal, which was one of
the first American animals seen by the
sailors of Columbus, is rapidly becom-
ing extinct, and it is estimated that less
than one hundred Of the species are
now living. This seal is of considerable
size. and formerly was frequently en-
countered along the Atlantic coast, but
1t was always one Of the least known
of the North American mammals, and
was not accurately described until 1884
1t is now apparently restricted to the
Gulf of Campeche, off Mexico, and is
a slow and stupid animal, which does
not offer any resistance when attacked.
The extinction of the species has been
largely due to the fact that these seals
have been killed for the manufacture
of lubricating oil.
