"A currenG STORY makes IL an
easy matter to believe the stories
of Theodore Roosevelt's coolness
in the presence of danger. Judg-
ing from the story in question the
president inherits at least por-
tion of this coolngss from his
mother. She and cousin, Mrs
8 A Clark, were at one time being
driven in closed carriage from
the Roosevelt residence to an af-
ternoon tea party. The horses
became unmanageable and finally
the coachman was thrown from his
seat to the ground. The thor
oughly frightened team tore mad
ly from street to street. Men re-
peatedly rushed out to stop them,
but their attempts only served to
increase the trouble and the car
riage lurched from side to side,
cunning on two wheels part of the
time. The horses kept on in the
direction of the stables, the occu-
pants fully expecting at every
corner to be dashed to death.
During this most trying ordeal
Mrs Roosevelt sat as calm as q
statue, looking neither to the
right nor the left and saying not
word. Dashing into the open
stable, they crashed against the
Opposite wall, breaking the car
riage pole and fatally injuring
one of them.
A score of men came to their
rescue. Some one opened the
door and half dozen asked if
they were hurt. Mrs Roosevelt
stepped quietly out and after her
fainting companion had been car
ried away, turned to stableman
and said, quite in her ordinary
tone: "Will you hand me my
card case, James? / dropped it
in the carriage. Thanks" and
she walked calmly away.

Prof H H Powers, professor of soci-
ology at Cornell university, startled
his class in political principles by the
following statement.
II am strongly, in favor of killing off
the weak in society for the benefit of
the strong. A child learning his let
ters ought to see the detriment to so
ciety in letting the unfit propagate
their kind. Kill off the feeble-minded
and those who are burden to the
rest of society as you would kill off so
many rattlesna axes. not because we
hate them, but because they are
troublesome to have around you. /
believe the time will come when socie.
ty will see the benefit of extermina.
ting the weak by artificial means"
II the Professors benevolent plan is
ever adopted, it will reverse all the
practice of the ages. 1t has ever been
the weak, crippled and feeble-minded
that have appealed TO our sympathy
and special care. These smart pro-
fessors may be able to obliterate all
the better instincts which mark even
the brute creation, to protect the weak
and helpless, but it will probably be
another generation or two before it is
fully accomplished. Book learning in
these latter days is wonderful insti-
tuition.

THE IRELAND OF TODAY.
More Prosperous Than Formerly, BuI
Its Main Lack Ia in the Manu-
featuring Line.

Rt Hon. James Bryce. careful OBJ
server, and Mr.. Seumas MacManus, the
Irish writer, agree that Ireland to-day
is enjoying comparative prosperity.
The people are living better, their food
is of higher grade. the bank deposits
have decreased, the farm rents are
lower, and the returns from work are
larger. The main reason why it does
not take its place as one of the rich
countries of the world is it's lack of
manufacturing. II exists mainly on its
agriculture and its fisheries, says the
Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
ireland contains 81, 1897 square miles,
not including the 1876 little islands
which add 246 square miles to the total.
1t is not quite so large as Indiana, and
is a little larger than South Carolina.
The Philippine islands are four times
the size of all Ireland. Less than fve
years ago a commission appointed by
parliament reported that there had
been placed upon Ireland a taxation
burden which it was unable to bear,
and that something should be done.
Thus came the new land act, which was
a mitigation, but not a reform, of the
evils.

PUMPING OUT A scow.
Man Has--Just Pull the Ping
out and Haul.

Nobody who knows anything
about boats worries over few feet
of water in a scow If the water isn't
too deep" said a river man TO a New
York Sun reporter. "Getting 1t out
is the easiest job in the world.
"Scows, as everybody knows. are
fiat bottomed, and up forward in the
bottom of every one is a plug as big
around as mans two fists. Dozens
of empty scows FIJI up with water
and lie at the piers with only the
deck afoat every year. 1t doesn't
hurt them. The owner just let's them
lie so till they're wanted. Then he
sends a tugboat alongside and she
bitches on. A man goes aboard the
seow and pulls out the plug.
"Does the scow sink? Nary q
foot. As the tug starts her up you
see she lifts the old scow up some
and the result is that the water in
the scow pours out through the plug
hole. It's hard pulling at first, but
the faster the tug hauls the higher
goes the scow bow and the quicker
the water goes out, till the scow's
almost dry. After spin of a mile
or so the plug can be replaced and
the little water that remains in her
pumped out by hand.
"Simple? l should think so. Easi-
est thing in the world. That's why
scows are so useful. You needn't be
so extra particular about callSing 'em
so long as your cargo won't be hurt
by water; and age and submersior
seem to improve them"

A REFUGE FOR ROGUEs.
Perfect Paradise for Men who Have
Committed Crimes of Every
Description.

There is one corner of Central Amer
ica that is a present perfect para
disc for men who have committed any
crime. 1t is a place where the out
casts of the worlds society rule the
land Of their adoption, and where the
officials of the government protect all
thieves that come to them and make
it dangerous for any detective TO mo-
lest them, says the London Express.
This is the republic of Honduras,
one of the least advanced of the states
of South or Central America. Hon
duras indeed is curious mixture of
Jungle and gigantic forest, of cocoa
and of rubber trees, of bugs, vampires,
snakes and crocodiles-of all manner
of things that creep and crawl and
sting and bite; a region where life in
the daytime is mockery and at night
one feels as though sleeping in red
pepper.
Here, in every hamlet and city, are
TO be found men from different lands,
mostly outlaws from their own coun-
try. Chicago, Boston, New York and
Philadelphia all furnish their quota.
England, France, Italy and even far
away Russia have their share. They
make no attempt at concealment,
bear the names they were born to
bear and go along about their own
business as if the laws of their own
country had not made them outcasts.

The men who framed our present
constitution we're about the most in
telligent and earnest that could pos
sibly have been chosen for that great
duty. They were straightforward
men, holding rugged views of right
and wrong, and determined upon
safeguarding the rights of the people
as well as 1t was possible to do so in
the state charter. They felt 1t was
not for the good of the com.
monwealth that governor
should succeed himself and they
said so. They Knew If 1t were per-
missable for hin, to do this, he would,
especially II ne were more politician
than statesman, devote most of first
term planning as to how he could
best insure his election to a second.
We have had high-minded governors
in the past who would scorn to stoop
to such business; but this was before
the era Of political cunning which has
invaded high places The makers OF
the constitution desired to keep the
Office of the executive and its sur
roundings above and beyond the
reach Of compromise with evil, and,
so. they made the reelection of the
governor as his own immediate sue
cessor an impossibility. / am sure.
had they looked a little further they
might have taken equal precaution
against keeping the office in the Of
ficiaI family Of the chief magistrate of
the commonwealth.
l am inclined to think that It Is not
the wisest plan to select members of
congress for our governors. Down
there at Washington they seem to be-
get a disregard for the state constitu-
tion which is not shared by those who
receive their political training in the
service OF the state, and a careful OBJ
server cannot fail to have noticed
something of this sort in the history
of recent legislation here.
Well, here / am at the end OF my
letter without a word about next
Tuesdays election. am no prophet
however. and. as the result will be
known to the people Of Pennsylvania
before I write again, / shall let 1t
speak for Itself STREPHON.

Great Interest Now Taken in
1eoooossevelt's Fine Speech
at the Minnesota
State Fair.

From The Journal Bureass. Roont 45 Post
Building, WGshiIlDto3S.
Washington, Sept 16.-The east is to-
day reading over again with closer atten-
tion the speech which President Roosevelt
days before the assassination. 1t is being
read with marked interest as throwing
strong light on his views on public ques-
tions, especially the Mckinley policy. The
morning newspapers to-day give the speech
more space than they did the morning
after its delivery. They make most opti-
mistic predictions from it as to the new
presidents future
Talk of Legislation.
Such members of congress as have
reached Washington since Czolgosz shot
President Mckinley are in favor of legis-
lation by congress to make any attempt on
the life of the president or certain other
officials of the government punishable by
some adequate penalty, instead of leav-
Ing the matter entirely for the state to
deal with. 1t seems to be generally con-
ceded that congress could not pass a law
making such an attempt treason. because
the constitution defines treason to CON
sist only in levying war against. them
(the United States), or in "adhering to
their enemies, giving them aid and com
fort 1t is thought that the crime of at
tempted assassination of the president, or
the advocacy thereof, can hardly be
brought within that clause. But it is
held that congress has ample authority
in the matter.
Good VIII of Other Nations.
Great satisfaction is felt over the good
feeling shown toward the United States by
all foreign nations in messages of sym
pathy they have sent because of the death
of President Mckinley. There has been
nothing equal to it before in the history
of the nation. 1t will serve to bring the
United States in closer relations with
other governments and carry out the pol
Icy of the late president in promoting
peace and good will among ali nations.
This phase of the case is one of general
comment in this city.

Faribault. Mimi, Sept. 16.-Right Rev
Henry Benjamin Whipple. bishop of Min
nesota, died this morning at his home at
o'clock just as the sun was rising.
The Immediate cause of his death was
heart weakness. He was unconscious all
Of yesterday and during the night and it
was seen that the end was near.
At the time of his passing there were
present in the room, Mrs. Whipple his
wife; DR.. Rose, of Faribault, his son-in-
law; DR.. Stone, of St. Paul; Mrs. Scandrett
of Faribault and Mrs. s. w. Jackson of
Cleveland, Ohio, his daughters; Mrs. Geo.
Whipple, his sister-in-law, and some of
the grandchildren.
The body viii lie in state in the
chapel at his residence and the funeral
will take place from the cathedral on Fri
day at p. m.
Late in the day it was decided that
the body of the dead prelate should be in
TERED within the cathedral here, and a
tomb will be made in the floor of the
crypt to hold the remains
A tower in memory of Bishop Gilbert
is already being constructed on the

Growing Better.
Up to the last Bishop Whipple had tie
same broad interest in human affairs
which had ever been one of his most dis
tinguishing characteristics. He was
proud of the United States and took a
cheerful view of the future of the repub-
lie. How optimistic he was is we'll il

Whipple in T he ournal of Nov
last, upon his return from the Episcopal
Missionary Council at Louisville, KY
Speaking generally, he said:
The signs of the times are not to be mis-
taken. We cannot fail to recognize the great
world movement that is going on about us.
The world is getting better every day. We
must not draw hasty conclusions the other
way; when we have flaming headlines about
terrible murders served up to US for break
fast from time to time, we must not con
clude that the world is one vast slaughter
house. We do not at the same time stop to
reflect how many men have not committed
murder but have led straightforward Chris
tian lives, doing unto others as they would
be done by. The struggle for existence is
of course much sharper; the lines of com
petition between man and man are more
strongly defined than ever before, and vet
there is an ever-thickening cream on the
milk of human kindness. Circumstances
which are drawing men away from each other
in some respects are but the more firmly
uniting them in others.
