EVOLUTION OF CRIMINAL.
from the Cri IN innf of Former
Times.

At the Congress of Criminalists, held
at st. Petersburg, Prof. Franz Won
List, in paper on "The Sociological
Factors of Criminality," declared that
The criminality of the present day diff
fers from that of former times in a
twofold manner, conditioned by our
yocial organization
1. Through the crimes of the probe
tariat.
2. Through the crimes of the neuras-
themes, which are a result of indus
trial and commercial competition
The lawmaker cannot interfere in
the normal development of society. but
mas a twofold duty towards it's VIC
Tins:
1. To help those that are threatened
! with destruction by the struggle for
Existence.
2. Without either severity or weak
ness to exclude from society those who
hre past hope of improvement.
The resulting educational and elm
mating measures will form the Grim
insl policy of the future.

Sters at little red schoolhouse at
Croton, high among the green hills
of Westchester, New York, is one of
the proudest young women of that
county because of an unexpected
visit paid to her school the other aft

Chauncey M. Depew. Mr.. Depew was
driving from the Croton railroad
station to hotel. AS he passed
along the highway he saw the school
and noticed the stars and stripes up
side down.

The children were at their studies.
Miss Regain came to the door. When
she saw Senator Depew she blushed
deeply.
my dear miss, please excuse me-
said the senator, as he stood smiling,
hat in hand. 81 was passing this
way recalling the scenes of my child
hood days among these beautiful
hills and valleys of yours, when /
noticed that the flag in front of your
school was upside down. In my Off
cial position feel that l have right
to inquire about it."
"I know it's all wrong" STAN
mered the young teacher, calling Mr..
Depew by name, as she recognized
him at once from his pictures But
I couldn't help it. The halyards were
broken and we couldn't hoist it right
side up, so rather than not have it
up at all the boys put it wrong side
up"
Mr.. Depew said that she had the
proper spirit. He made speech to
the children, telling them of the i'm
portance of patriotism and signifi'
canoe of the flag. kissed a few of the
younger girls, and hurried away to
fill his engagement.

BIG ELEPHANT EXECUTED.
Gigantic Mem er of tn e Ce MT nj Park
MenRgerie Is Given Fatal
Dose of Poison.

Big Tom, the Indian elephant of
the Central Park menagerie, New
York, was put to death in accordance
with a sentence passed several days
since by court consisting of Park
Commissioner Wilcox, Director Smith,
of the menagerie, and Keeper Snyder.
Toms death was by poison, cyanide
of potassium being given to him at
breakfast in the morning.
Five hundred and ninety grains was
the exact amount of poison used,
probably the largest ever admins
tered to living thing. 1t produced
series of commissions lasting 81 min
utes, but was said to be entirely
without pain.
Capsules of the poison were placed
in the animals food. In eight min
utes the elephant trembled, then
staggered to his knees, and finally
fell to the floor of his cage.
In half minute he was on his feet
again. He stood still for few min
utes and then symptoms of second
CONFUSION appeared. He dropped
like shot that time and in his strug-
giles broke off the stumps of his
tusks., 1t was 9:40 o'clock when he
died.
The elephant had been unruly.

ton.

SEA LION IN LAKE MICHIGAN.
Large Marine Animal sighted by Tug
or the Port of Mil
waukce,

A marine animal, resembling sea
lion and believed to be such, was
sighted by Capt. John Cullnan, of the
Chicago tug T. II. Morford, in Lake
Michigan ten miles off Milwaukee
harbor. When Capt. Cullnan first
sighted the animal it was half a mile
to leeward, swimming leisurely. He
steered the boat in it's direction and
when ne was within a hundred yards
of the animal It rose partly out of
the water, and, with a loud snort,
darted beneath the waves. Capt.
Cullnan cruised about the spot where
the animal was seen, but it did not
reappear.
The members of the tugs crew be-
lieve that the animal was the sea lion
which several years ago escaped
from Lincoln park, Chicago.

CANADIAN TRADE.
Premier Lnurier Believes the ID omin-
ion Can Soon Meet EnRls nd's
Grain Demands.

Premier Laurier, of Canada, opened
the new produce exchange at Liverpool
the other day, and in his speech he al
luded to the expansion of the Cana
dian produce trade, and said that in
the course Of the next decade or two
Canada would, be able to meet Great
Britain's total grain requirements,
thus insuring her against a shortage
in war time. The problem Of fast
steamship service between England
and Canada, the premier further re-
marked had been under consideration
ever since he had been premier. He
hoped that Canada would be able to
solve 1t, as she had solved others vastly
more difficult.

Gems O RS hip In Turkey.

A masterpiece Of censorship was
once performed by the Turkish censor,
Nischan Effendi, on the occasion of the
production of Shakespeare's "Othello"
at Constantinople. He corrected
the drama so thoroughly as to leave
hardly trace of the original. Among
other words, he expurgated Soy
prus," giving ingenious reasons for
this correction. Cyprus" he said,
sis a Turkish island; it would be po-
litically unwise TO send Othello to Cy-
prus, because the territorial integrity
of Turkey is guaranteed by treaties.
Why not put, instead of Cyprus, some
Greek island, such as Corfu?" And
thus it came to pass that, from respect
to the treaty of Paris, Othello had to
go to Corfu.

RICH ARE CRITICISED.
Rock felIer's sunday School Glass
Listens to Remarkable
DiscussiOp-

John ID. Rockefeller, Jr., did not at
tend his Sunday school class on re-
cent Sunday on account of cold. He
was to have resumed his place in the
gathering at the Fifth Avenue Bap-
fist church, and letter had been sent
to all the members of the class urging
them to be present and bring their
friends. There was good attend
ance. Addresses were made by several
OF the III members who were present.
A member from New Jersey stepped
out in front Of the class and began to
talk upon a socialistic theory which
he had worked out and which he said
would give to every man a fair com,
pensation for his effort.
He questioned the sincerity of pow
erful capitalists who came before the
class and told them that the secret
of success in life was ability in wash
ing windows and doing well the little
that was given them to do. He said
it was the habit of all men who had
accumulated great wealth to tell the
poor young men that they must be
faithful in little things, be honest and
virtuous in all that they did but he
often questioned if the wealthy men
of the country had obtained their
wealth by adhering strictly to the
principles they were teaching. He was
not sure that these men had not en-
ployed different methods from those
they sought to inculcate. Others
spoke along the same lines.

WASHINGTON HOME ON SALE.
The Ancestral Residence In England
of First President Placed
on Market.

In regard to the recent report that
Sulgrave Manor, the home Of George
Washington's ancestors, had been
bought for reerection in the United
States, London paper gives these
as the facts in the case:
THE estate is in the market and a
firm of London agents are in COM
munication with gentleman whose
name is well known as the negotiator
for the purchase and sale of such
properties as historic sites and who
not long ago secured an important site
for the London county council. 1t is
therefore satisfactory to know that
the house has not yet been absolutely
disposed Of. At the same time. as
it is offered for sale, the danger of its
removal is still a present one"

SMALLEST BABY EVER BORN.
The Midget Weighs Only Ten Ounces
and Is Not Quite Eight
Inches Long.

What the Bellevue doctors believe
to be one of the smallest babies with
a chance for life that has ever been
born is now in the hospital. The
baby weighs only ten ounces. 1t is
little less than eight inches long,
and its head is not any larger than
a ping-pong ball. The child is per-
fectly developed, and its head is es-
pecially well formed, the features
being as perfect as they are diminu-
tive. The baby has black eyes. and a
little fringe of black hair encircles
its tiny head.
The baby is the daughter of Pat
rick and Frances Lombardi, % and
20 years old, respectively, who live
at 1913 Hester street, New York.
When DR.. Imperatori, who attended
the mother, saw the size of the child,
he advised thai it be taken to Belle
vue, rs that was the only chance of
saving it's life. So lombard wrapped
the midget up in cotton, and placing
it in a macaroni box, took it to the
hospital DR.. Carter was on duty
when lombard arrived, and SO sur
prised was he when he saw Lombar-
dis charge that he called all the
other physicians in the hospital who
were rot actively engaged to come
and see the baby. Each of the doc
tors said they had never heard of,
much less seen, baby so small that
had a chance to live. While the doc
tors were looking at the little thing

'It appears that the rate paid boiler

THERE IS MYSTERY
The Deeds We're Said to Have Beer
Locked in a Strong Box. But
Theu Weren't There and
hnxIetu Ensuas

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal June T.
Some anxiety has been caused among
the attorneys In the Fair case over the
disappearance of the famous pencil
deeds by means of which Mrs. Nettle
r. Craven sought to secure title to
TWO valuable pieces of real estate be-
Longing to the Fair estate. In the
recent compromise of Mrs. Craven's
Claims by the Fair heirs, Mrs. Craven
and her attorneys agreed among other
things, to turn over the two pencil
deeds to the attorneys on the other
side of the case. Attorneys Lloyd
and Heggerty have been unable thus
tar, however. to locate the documents.
and their disappearance from the
county clerks Office has given rise to
no small amount of mystery.
Reuben r. Lloyd went to the
county clerks Office several days ago
armed with an order for the delivery
OF the deeds. and diligent search OF
the Office failed to bring them to light.
Il was presumed from this that Mrs.
Craven's attorneys must have taken
them away. as they had right to do
under the order of the court made at
rar the trial of the case. Attorney
I.afe Pence is In Denven aud could not
be communicated with, but Charles
Pence declared that the papers In ques-
ton murt still he in the possession OF
the county clerk, as the order OF court
permitting Mrs. Craven's attorneys to
take their exhibits had never been
presented.
James McElroy, who was clerk OF
Judge Slacks court during the trial OIL
the pencil deed case. was interviewed
by the attorneys, and said he had
turned the deeds over to Joseph God
dard. former chief deputy in the coun-
ty clerks Office. Goddard remembered
that he had locked the papers in a
strong box In the clerks ONCE, and
was sure they would be found there
Frank French. the present chief clerk
og the Office. declared that he had new
er received the key to the strong box
in question. and that the box had new
er been unlocked since he assumed his
present position. The box was ac-
cordingly broken open yesterday after-
noon. The pencil deeds were not
there. and the circumstance only ADD
ID to the mystery.
