DEFENDING THE BACK DOOR.

| IT is a rather curious fact that, In
spite of the lessons of modern warfare.
the authorities should continue to de-
fend the front doors of American ports
and leave the side and rear doors prac-
ticaIly unguarded. No enemy anodt
will ever try to force the entrance to
welI-fortified harbor, as for instance
San Francisco. The thing could not
be done in this day of powerful ord
nance. search-lights and electrical
mines. No amount of firing from ships
can disturb a modern fort adequately
seryed-witness the futile attempts on
the Cuban coast in 1898 and on the chi
nese coast in 1S94-but such fort mas
no trouble at all in keeping a modern
fleet at a distance. AS a result, Wheh
a combined military and naval Zoe de-
lfvers an attack upon fortified sea-
board town. a landing is made miles
away and the place is entered where
no forts stand in the path.
Thus it was that Admiral Jorge
Montt captured Valparaiso in 1890
There was no other way. The trick
was repeated by Ito and Oyama at
Port Arthur, Talien-wan (Dalny) ana
Wei -hai-Wei, by Sampson and Shafter
at Santiago in 1898 and by Miles at san
Juan. General Miles marched against
the Porto Rican capital from the other
side of the island and it fell before he
came in sight. But Sampson had
bombarded the place for week, hard
Iy making a dent in the defenses.
If an enemy afloat should attack San
Francisco it would not think of getting
in range of the forts at the mouth of
the harbor. 1t would probably land at
Monterey and march overland, striking
both San Francisco and Oakland on a !
side where no 0efenses now exist and /
where only eartnworks could be inn !
provised. Obviously what are needed
to make the coast metropolis safe are /
fortresses on the peninsula far below +
San Francisco, and formidable one !
at Monterey itself.
The principle is being recognized by |
he engineers who have planned the
defensive works of Honolulu. One Of
vas laughed at by the board which,
lfter deciding on Diamond Head and
Waikiki, marked down big forts for
Pearl Harbor, q battery emplacement
or the Pail and heavy works at or
lear Paul Isenberg's place on the other
ide of Diamond Head where, in all
an invading force would
ry to land. This is a thoroughly mod
I'm system of defence which ought to
'e initiated at every seaboard point
which needs protection from a posi-
lie enemy.

Yesterday morning Judge Gear pub
licly denied that he had accused Mr..
Pain from the bench of the unauthoriz-
ed shipment of sheep from Lanai. The
Advertisers court reporter, to whose
accurate methods Gear himself testi-
fed, took notes of the Judges remarks
about Pain and insists that he could
have made no mistake. He also brings
two witnesses in confederation, one of
whom says that, not having known of
Mr.. Pains connection with the case,
he was surprised to hear the Judge at
tack him. 1t may be that Judge Gear,
in the course of appointing a new care
ta1er for the avowed object of keeping
Lanai sheep from being abducted, crit
icised Mr.. Pain without meaning to do
so. but that does not expunge the
words uttered by the bench. The whole
circumstance seems to resolve itself
into another illustration of the fact
that the tumefed jurist doesn't know
what he is talking about much of the
time.

If the Government applies itself to
the cholera breeding places in Manila
with the same military vigor that Gen
Benjamin F. Butler used in dealing
with the yellow fever in New Orleans
and that Gen. Wood exemplified in

cRoMwELL's SKULL.
Part of the Great Protectors Remains
Said to Be In q Museum

Some of the baby clothes of Oliver
Cromwell were recently sold at auction
in London. Among them a lace hood.
1t is queer to think how serenely un-
conscious the mother was at the time
this hood was made TO adorn the baby's
head. which was destined to pass
through more awful experiences in his
tory. both before and after it died.
The mother little dreamed that this
small bit of lace covered a head that
would upset a thousand years mon
archy, and then, after governing a ma
ton with its nod" end in a deeper hui
initiation than any other has ever ex-
perienced.
These clothes of an innocent baby
seem odd, in view that history records
that CromwelPs body was embalmed
and lay in state at Somerset house
dressed in royal robes and with crown
on the head and with a scepter in one
hand and a globe in the other.
Then it was buried with civic pomp
in Westminster Abbey. from which it
was dug up a little more than two
years later and treated with every in
dignity that revenge could suggest.
The head was cut off and piIloried on
the tower at Westminster for twenty
five years, when it was blown down.
A sentry found it and secreted it in
his chimney corner, only disclosing its
hiding place when he was at the point
of death.
The head was easily identified, for it
is the only head that ever was cut off
after it was embalmed. Besides, there
was part of the oaken staff of the
spear upon which it was stuck and the
staff was perforated by worm which
only attacks oak after long exposure to
the elements.
The head was sold to Mr.. Russell, in
whose family it remained for some gen.
erations. At length an impecunious
member of the family first exhibited
it for money and then sold it for about
a thousand dollars to three men to
use for the same purpose.
The head was finally sold to Mr.. Will
henson, in whose family it still re-
mains. Horace Wilkinson, of Seven
oaks, Kent, being the present owner.

A Pointed Suggestion.

A young married lady is often criti-
cised by her friends because of the
freedom with which she accepts little
attentions from friends of the other
sex.
At a recent gathering which she at
tended she drew from her pocket her
lace handkerchief, in which knot had
been tied in order to call to her mind
some trivial duty.
Dear me- said the popular young
married lady to several gallants about
her, why is that knot in my handker-
chief? I tied it there to remind me of
something. What could it be?'
"NIy child" said an old lady who
overheard her and who is noted for the
acrid witness Of her repartee, 'it was
probably tied in order to remind you
that you are married"
