SOME JUSTIFIABLE COMMENT.

l As we supposed would be the case,
 the report that Yale has "A Criminal
 Club" and that this club is going to
 have a dinner at the shore, is exciting some critical comment. Thus the ] Worcester Spy says: Tt is difficult to understand how an arrest even for a
 college prank can be looked upon as something of which to boast publicly. One would suppose that the experience of falling into the hands of the police
 would be an event to be kept in the background rather than to be exploit ed" And the Hartford Courant says
 Outside the college atmosphere the in
 ference will be drawn that the whole
 thing is a sort of jail bird rally, getting
 it's character from persons who have
 none. For this reason the meeting it.
 self and the publication of it's nature
 are both to be regretted
 of good sense and good taste that students who have been arrested, even if only for petty offenses," would do well not to call any more attention to the fact than they are obliged to. And students who have been arrested for drunkenness, fighting and worse things should certainly aim to keep that part of their college life in the background. They try hard enough to conceal them selves when they are arrested, and they should keep up the effort. There is nothing creditable or funny in being a member of a Criminal Club, even if that club is composed of young gentle men who are fitting themselves to be leaders of the people. We hope to see an announcement that the report that there is a Yale Criminal Club and that it is going to gather at the shore is an ted lie. We don't believe it is an unmitigated lie, but that is the ap- proved way nowadays of disposing of newspaper reports.

GENERAL MTLEs rom THE TRuTH.

There is less talk about the compul- sory retirement of General Miles, but it | is still expected that he will have to retire. Meanwhile it is interesting to notice that when General Miles, in his testimony before the Senate nvestigat- ing committee, said that he knew that eruelties had been practiced on the Fllipnos he mildly told the truth, The
 testimony that has been given since he
 made that statement is amply corrobo-
 rative of it. What has come out has
 made quite an impression on some who
 have been pretty severe in their talk
 about Miles. The Boston Herald, for
 instance, which now says; Though we
 have freely criticised General Miles on
 features in his action which it seemed
 to us were open to adverse comment,
 it has to be conceded, we think, that he
 has done a clear public service by call
 ing attention to the severity of action
 under our military forces in the Philip
 pine islands. There had been general
 charges of cruelty, but the first intima
 tion received of the more specific tor
 lures that have since been disclosed came from him, and it was full time that the public knew more about them
 than it seemed likely to get from of- ficial quarters. The subsequent action of the secretary of war is ample justi- tication for what was practical pro- test on the part of General Miles on this point.
 If Miles is a disturber he made the | right kind of disturbance that time. | And though we are told that the truth | shouldn't be spoken at all times, that | speaking of it would hardly be proper | ground for his removal. l

The TesttMg of Father.

When faint the city whistles blow And milk carts rumble to and fro; When the glad sunbeams newly fling Abroad their promises of spring, Then father to the garden goes And rakes and digs and plants and hoes; When he has placed beneath the loam About his glad suburban home Lettuce and beans and trailing vine And proudly says Al this is mine. And joyous hears the breakfast bell And feels his bosom proudly swell, What sounds portentious on the breeze Cause his slow curdling blood to freeze? There, caekling singly or together, With feet steel shod and lungs of leather, The neighbors' soul destroying hens Have flown their fragile makeshft pens! The big white rooster proudly leads! The air is full of garden seeds! The old hen lifts with rapid scoops Earth, stumps, sod, gravel, and the roots That pa has planted with such care And left to grow in comfort there. 'Tis nothing but Abounding Grace That holdeth father In his place, Instead of clubbing every hen, He plants the garden once again, And ma says with expression sage, Yer fathers melerin' with age"

l The Germans are somewhat depressed | just now. but they can find crumbs of comfort The official figures of the | trade of the German empire in 1901, ex-
 pressed in thousands of marks, are inn | ports, 5,7097S2, compared with 6,O42,992 ! in the year 1900; and exports 4,5l2,646,
 compared with 4.752,6O1 in 1900 Com parison of the figures for the last five l years shows that both imports and ex- ports exhibited an uninterrupted in- 1 crease from 1897 to 1900, and that 1901 is the first year which compares un- favorably with the year immediately preceding. although the returns for 1901
 are more favorable than those of 1899
 Dr. Dietyl, professor of political econ
 omy at the University of Bonn, de-
 clares that the importance of the eco-
 homie depression has been exaggerated,
 He argues that the altogether unprece-
 dented expansion of German industry
 and commerce during the years 1896
 1900 necessarily was followed by pe-
 riod of comparative quiet which pro-
 duced the impression of a collapse. But a careful consideration of the prices
 paid from 1898 to 1900 leads to the con-
 clusion that they did not represent an altogether normal development. A fall, therefore, if not excessive, should be regarded as a natural reaction of healthily constituted organism. The fall in 1901, although acutely felt in many individual cases. was not. in his opinion dangerous. The accounts of the prevailing distress, he declares, | have been greatly exaggerated. The | most trustworthy calculations estimate | the number of unemployed in the , German empire at about 50O,00O, per centage only slightly in excess of that reported by the English trade unions in their periods of greatest prosperity.
 While this wont greatly encourage the Germans who are out of work, it may help to keep up the spirits of those who have been fearing worse times.

 and the amount of money that passed rom his hands each quarter of an hour represented more than the earnings of the average workman during his life tune. It was in an effort to retrieve past losings that the count made his fatal plunge. He had been a heavy loser for two evenings, and went into the memorable game with a determina- ton to play even, His first opponent was the Hungarian deputy Herr von Szemere. The latter not being a veal thy man, moderate stakes prevailed at the outset of the game. Later Prince Braganza dropped in and took a hand, and the stakes gradually went up until the onlookers stood back in amazement.
 Both the prince and the deputy won steadily from the outset. It seemed that every turn of the cards was in their favor, and the run of bad luck caused Count Potocki to lose his head. lie became reckless and each deal brought demand from him for an in- crease of the stakes.

LONG YEARS 0F LINKED INTEGRITY IN THE FORD ARM0R.
Attempts to Find a Vul- nerable Chin,k Will F ail-The Company Picks Up the Gage and Invites the Inspec- ton of Real Experts and Genuine Connois- seurs.

There is no flaw in the armor built of long years of linked integ- rity worn by the George H. Ford Co. Attempts to find chink or vulnerable spot to stop the progress of this firm in its sweeping control of the local and vicinity trade will fail
 A word to the wise is all sufficient at this time to dispel any efforts to discredit what has always been claimed for this house--absolute re- liability.
 Insinuations and innuendo are one thing; proof is another. When it comes to proving true there is due a triumphant vindication of the house and chagrined discontinue for those who would like to see a venal transaction made a bar sinis- ter of the spotless escutcheon.
 ihiS, py way OI pIcdilIplc, ID d note of caution to those who hear rumors calculated to effect the busi- ness of liquidation now in progress in the auction sale. The gage has been thrown and the house gladly picks it up ready for defense, if de- fence is ever required-which is doubtful.
 The charming environments of the sale, its real bargains, and it's ex- elusive and valuable character are plain as big print to the most skep- tical or near-sighted. Don't be short-sighted and miss this oppor- tunity. It comes in this town only once in lifetime.
 Sale hours are daily from 1O.30 to 12.30; 2.30 to 5.30. All articles can be thoroughly and leisurely in- spected, and the visits of experts and connoisseurs are particularly desired, because the better the ex- pert and the more experienced the connoisseur, the greater will be the glory of the stocks vindication.
 Remember the daily sale hours 1030 to 1230; 2,3O to 5.3O.

WHAT WILL THE H4RTEST Rk?

Perhaps "the western world" will yet discover that China hasn't learned just what she was expected to. According to the resident correspondent of the London Times at Shanghai, the excess es committed by western troops in Chi
 ma are likely to prove very costly to the
 powers concerned both from the politi-
 cal and the missionary standpoint.
 There has been, it is true an increase
 of western influence in certain ways.
 "A widely circulated and generally pro-
 gressive native press has preached the
 necessity of reforms along western
 lines, but the story of inexcusable atrocities has been told also, with the result that the Christian church is per- haps the greatest sufferer: ITO the simple-minded Chinese the fact-and it is a fact--tfat the forces of Christian ma tions, as a whole, compared very un- favorably in the matter of common hu- manity with those of heather Japan is
 
 one which the most eloquent mission- ary will find it very hard to explain away. As a moral force our religion has certainly suffered in Chinese eyes, q natural result of the bloodthirsty in- humanities committed by the troops of more than one power before and after the taking of Peking." Turning now to the political aspects of the affair, it would appear that there is a decided tendency toward the cultivation of friendly relations with the Japanese. The three most influential viceroys are doing their utmost to promote such a | policy, and it is already made plain that 1 it is through Japan that China proposes to acquire a knowledge of the institu- tions of western civilization. From l every province students have been sent of late, some officially, some at private expense, to study the arts of govern ment, war and peace in Japan"
 If China should learn what Japan can teach her and then combine with Japan -here would be a bigger eastern prob em than there is.

The Appellate Court of Illinois has just reversed a decision for damages on the ground that the attorney for the plaintiff laid undue stress on the fact that an insurance company was defending the suit. An employee of the Eckhart & Swan Milling Company was killed, and the Fidelity and Cas- ualty Company, in which the firm was insured, defended the suit for damages. Preiudice was aroused in the minds of the jurors on this account.

It is interesting to notice that the dynamiting which was a feature of the St. Louis street car strike last year is being punished to the uttermost. Three men were sought for the crimes, Two were arrested. One is now in prison for an eight years sentence and third has escaped, but with a sentence of ten years hanging over him and rewards outstanding for his capture. The other man fled to San Francisco. Under a false name he secured employment as a conductor and lived in peace until the other day he was killed in an accident on his car, when he was identified. The missing individual is being sought high and low.
