June in January. That was yesterday.

The Legislature ought to reject with swift
contempt the bill to license dance halls which
has been thrust into the Senate. No specious
excuses can palliate the effrontery Of such a.
scheme 1t is amazing that any one was bold
enough to father Ii.

While there is so much sickness all about, es-
pecially from grip and lung troubles. it is un-
fortunate that Brooklyn hospital of consider
able capacity is unoccupied. The doors of the
Homeopathic Hospital, on the other side of the
East River, are shut because money is needed
for repairs. This institution has been turned
over to the public authorities. and should be
made ready for patients with all reasonable
speed But the usual exasperating delays in
such matters may be expected.

NOT NEEDED,

| Brother Bryan Is doing considerable talking for man who doesn't profess to care much about further irritating
 the public eye or the public mind. His party movement. Being asked about his attitude toward it he said: I know nothing about the third-party move ment in Missouri except what I have seen in the papers. If the third party Is intended to influence Missouri poli- tics I do not see that it is needed, for the Democracy has shown no inclina- tion to abandon Democratic principles, and while the party adheres to Demo- cratic principles as set forth in the Kansas City platform new parties are not needed to accomplish reforms. MT. Clevela.nd's administration drove many Democrats into a third-party move- ment, but I am not willing to believe that the Cleveland clement can again obtain control of the Democratic party.
 This curious utterance will lead to a good many utterances to the effect that the Democratic party did pretty well when Cleveland controlled it, and that it hasn't done very we'll since Bryan controlled it. And then Bryan can say that the Cleveland element is largely responsible for that too.

BIC BET.

These are big times, and 1t Is natural that there should be big bets In them as well as other big things. So it is not surprising to read that the final arr engagements for $400,000 bet on the in- ternational yacht race have been made. The bet is between the representative of an English syndicate and a group of patriotic Pittsburgers." The money was put up yesterday afternoon in Pittsburg.
 The bet is $15o,000 that Shamrock wins the cup to $25O,OOO that she doesn't. Money talks, and this is pretty large talk. The bet is glowingly described as the biggest bet in history. Probably 1t isn't, but it is big enough to point a good many morals and adorn a good many tales Perhaps this big betting will encourage smaller betting, but 1t will also discourage the tendency of those who bet small to feel big. Cheap sports will find it difficult to be very "chesty" in the shadow of a $40O,O0O bet,

KILL THE FLEAS TOO.

l People who kill all the mosquitoes
 they can are doing their duty by the l human race, in that respect at least,
 and they are also pleasantly satisfying
 some of their own private vengefulness.
 And we are now reminded that 1t is
 just as merltorious to kill fleas as it is | to kill mosquitoes. A doctor in Hon. | duras writes to the Medical Record
 that circumstantial evidence is suf- l ficiently abundant to convince the care full observer that fieas transport the l malaria. The writer's attention was
 first seriously directed to this subject by the prevalence of malarial levers among soldiers. Out of the twenty or So native soldiers on duty in his re- zion. there were usually from one to occurrence of fever was easily account ed for in an individual, as in new re- cruit who had recently arrived from a generally malarious district, but it's al- most constant occurrence there and ap- parent lack of selection were not easily explained. At length the fleas seri- ously engaged the doctors attention The more liberal use of the broom and of water and also the thorough daily cleansing of, the berths of the soldiers and the dusting of corners and crevices with powdered borax, were enjoined, and, although general cleanliness among persons thus quartered was not to be expected, and although high de- gree of those conditions necessary for the abolition of the feas was practic- ally impossible, nevertheless after &C., complaining what was possible in this direction, the amount of fever among the soldiers decidedly decreased.
 Good work. Down with mosquitoes and fieas which carry malaria, and to rats which carry the plague. As it has been decided by the high court that damn" isn't swearing, it is perhaps not too much to say, Kill 'em, damn 'em.

ROMANCE OF THE HANOVER
 TREASURE.

The history of the Duke of Cumber- lands fortune has just been related by
 Herr von Hassell. His father, George V.. had a narrow escape of finding himself both kingdomless and penni- less. The state treasures of Hanover were only placed in safety few hours before Prussia declared war on the ex- cellent blind king. The person who saved the financial part was Herr Klenck chief secretary of the exche- quer He had to remove seven hun dred and twenty thousand thalers in silver, twenty nine thousand crowns in gold, worth about thirty shillings each; fifty-four thousand pounds in English banknotes, thirtv-six thousand pounds in Prussan thalers, two hundred and fifty thousand pounds in Hanover banknotes, and nineteen million pounds worth of English, Dutch, French and other government bonds. The gold crowns were packed in seventy mine wine-tubs, the bonds in ten chests, the Hanover banknotes in bales, and the thalers in crates lined with tin. This variety in the packing was to prevent notice being taken at the railway or the port of embarkation, where Prussan agents were reported as on the lookout. These barrels and bales were taken by an ordinary goods train to an outlying station, and then rapidly shifted to a special train that was to go at full speed at Geestemunde. It started at 11:30 D. m. on June 15, 1866. But they had forgotten to order station masters

NEGRO SUICIDES.

Speaking of suicides,' stir an ob- servant citizen, "I have been impressed recently by the fact that a number of
 negroes have attempted to commit sui-
 eide. hTis is something new Up to a
 few years ago it was rare thing to
 hear of a negro committing suicide.
 Now 1t has become very common thing, and it seems to me that there Is a very interesting problem in the naked fact. Usually the negro has no concep- tion of the graver responsibilities of life. They do not feel like the mem bers of the Caucasian race. They have different impulses. Why Is it. then, that negroes commit suicide? Why do they grow weary of life? The negro has no serious love affair. He loves in his way. He no doubt has his ambi- tions. He aspires. There is a certain something which he never reaches. and yet certain something which he most ardently desires. And yet he never feels desperate about 1t. What ever may come, he takes it philosophi- cally, and he bears his burden without quarreling about the situation. Ills family ties are notslike the ties or the white man, and hence he does not know the disappointments which so frequently come to the more sensitive members of the human family. Yet, in spite of these things, in recent times he has taken up the suicidal habit Negro suicides are of recent date. A few years ago it was rare thing to hear of nerro suicide Now 1t is common Negroes frequently shuffie off the mortal coil, to put 1t in popular parlance. But there is another curious thing about negro suicides, and that is the fact that very heavy per cent. are committed by the women. Negro men do not often fall on the barred bodkin.

and under one command; but the dis tance of New Zealand from Australia would, even were she state of the Commonwealth, necessitate some ar engagement whereby independent power would be vested in the officer com- manding in the colony, and separate ammunition factories and stores. The surest defence, they add, will be fur nished by an increased imperial naval squadron, for which the colony would be perfectly willing to pay an increased subsidy.
 These seem to be pretty substantial reasons for New Zealand's refusal to join. She has always been able to take care of her own affairs pretty well.
