MURDERER ADMITS GUILT.
Man Who Killed His Wife and Her
Mother Gives Himself up.

Atoka l. T., July 25.-James Reeves
has surrendered to the police here, ex-
planning that it was he who killed his
wife here several days ago; also her
mother, Mrs Grant, and John Knuck-
les. Reeves said that, with his wife,
he had lived a happy life until the ap-
pearance of Knuckles on the scene a
couple of months ago. Since that
time his wife had treated him with in
difference, which maddened him, es-
pecially since her parents encouraged
her attentions to knuckles.

ENGLtsHMAN AND TURK.
How the Former Obtained Some Cash
Owed by the Latter.

Owed by the Latter.
An Englishman has just had very
curious experience, says the London
Telegraph. He had lent Turk some
money, but the man was unable to
pay and on his deathbed laid par
ticu'ar charge on his wife and chill
dren to meet the debt The eldest son
was making arrangements according
ly, but also died, and he, too, begged
his family to pay the money as soon
as they could.
One day the Englishman received a
visit from member of the family,
who said that there We're now four
members of it left, and they were
ready to pay, but one of the daughters
refused to subscribe her share, declar-
ing that the money was never really
lent. The others, however, wished to
settle the matter, and if the English
man would come to the house it would
be arranged. But" the Turk added,
''if you see there is any difficulty just
say that you leave it to be settled in
the next worldr'
Accordingly the Englishman went to
the house at the appointed time and
met the family in the presence of
molah, the ladies being behind
screen. The mollah began by asking
if he had truly lent the money, how
much it was and if he would take any
less. One of the women behind kept
saying it was all a fraud. The English
man then declared that he had lent the
money, that he had not asked for it,
that they had told him to come and
get it and if they did not want to pay
it he would leave the matter to be set
tied in the next world.
There was dead silence for few mo-
ments, and then the women called
their brother, and each paid her share
without word. 1t seems the prospect
of meeting the father in the other
world without having carried out his
wishes was too serious a thing to face.

AT 1T AGAIN.

A contributor to "Macmillan's Magazine
writes about "Our Unhappy Language" Pretty
to see, as Pepys would say, the way in which
he proceeds. Beginning with some general OBJ
servations. to which he is at pains TO impart
semblance of benevolenee and humor he goes
on to reproach and instruct his fellow country
men with remarks on style. the split infinitive
and the besetting sin of land which" in places
where no "and" belongs. And then, discerned
In advance-yea from the outset-by every ex-
perienced reader In ''the States" the real theme
comes prancng into view with all the conf
dence of long reiteration. 1t is the American
who has made "our language unhappy by in
venting a language of his own. with which
the authentic vehicle of English speech has be-
come entangled, and, in the minds of writer's
not admitted to "Macmillan's" almost hope
lessly confused. Or rather, it is not the Ameri-
can who has done this low, audacious thing but
the Amurracan, for whom, of course, we must
accept entire responsibility, though We have
never seen him in the flesh. His perpetual fail
ure to appear among us seems strange, too,
when one stops to think about 1t, for his English
acauaintances are constantly giving him letters
of introduction for use on this side of the At
Iantic We have now and then met an imita-
tive compatriot. just home from his travels,
who having remained an Amarycan for little
while according 10 his own concert, becohles
an American like all the rest of us; but TO the
best of our knowledge and belief no Amurracan
has ever existed between Key West and the
Klondike
Our kinsman beyond the sea reminds us of
another astonishing fact, to wit, that the most
, dillgent explorers have searched the United
States in vain for the young American lady
"who constructs her conversational periods on
"the following skeleton: See reckon

certain that she is extant in England, for Eng

set foot in this country since she was exported

long ago, bringing her irreproachable ereden-
tials with her, no man knoweth. but or late
years she has doubtless been too innrm 10

THE WATERS OF NEW-YoRK BAY.

The wisdom of developing as rapidly as pos
/ sible the public fresh water bath system is en-
phasZed by the statement of the Health Board
that the salt water along the entire waterfront
of Manhattan Island is unfit for bathing pur-
poses because it is polluted by sewage Three
of the sixteen floating lighthouses are now out
of use because suitable locations removed from
the neighborhOod of sewers have not been found.
Doubtless some places along the waterfront
are less clean than others, but a view of the
water anywhere from ferryboat or pier is
enough to carry conviction of its uncleanness
without the expert testimony of the health Off
GERS.
The day may some time come when New
York will cease TO pour its sewage into its own
front yard That is what the waters of the
harbor are. They are its portal, its main high
way, Its breathing space, its greatest and most
beautiful park. Man has done his worst to
turn it into mere clOaca, and then has gone
out into the ocean and done his worst to pollute
the distant beaches by dumping refuse into the
water. He is gradually learning better. The
scows go less and less frequently out to sea, and
Commissioner Woodbury. is teaching the people
the folly of turning refuse into nuisance and
then disposing of 1t at a loss when by a little
intelligence it can be made absolutely harmless
and source of profit. After the city has final
ly ceased to pollute the sea beaches il may learn
not to pollute Its own harbor. A change In the
sewage system to effect this would be revolu-
tionary, and is not TO be expected for some time.
1t is Incredible however, that with the progress
Of invention and the growth of wealth this
primitive and out of date system should not
finally be abolished.
Other large cities, particularly inland cities,
convert their sewage into a marketable product.
Simply because New-York has a spacious bay
TO foul, sewage has been turned into it the
easiest and most sloyenly way of disposal. If
there were no such water a better way would
have been found and there is no reason why
the bad habit should be persisted in just be-
cause 1T has been acquired. If NewYork is to
be worthy OF its opportunities it must keep its
air clear and It's streets clean, and make the
waters Of its bay pure. Then sea baths right
at home will be source of delight and health
to thousands who are now menaced by disease
laden water. New-York has incompatible
natural situation. 1t is destined TO be perhaps
the largest city of the world before many years
past. 1t should also be the highest civilized,
and offer to its people the most perfect condi-
tons for health and happiness.

pie that cherishes a noble reverence for an

latest sponsor confess that he is always pleased
to meet her, and envy him.
"Macmillan's" Well of English Undefiled by
American inffltrations has another singular and
interesting acquaintance who. however, is
known to him not personally. but only through
a novel, full of life and strength" and queer
adverbs, such as "embarrassedly," "heartsick-
ly. ''pantingly, and who causes one of his
characters to refuge himself. Presumably this
verbal and adverbial phenomenon has local
habitation and a name in the United States.
But why is he cited? Doubtless because he can
be made to serve the purpose of illustrating an
ancient and arid theme. and establishing in con-
genial minds a dear deluSiOn which must not
be left to perish so long a vertable freak is
enough to sustain it. This method of fortifying
an hypothesis is familiar, and by this time may
even have acquired a prescrptive title to re-
spectability. We do not object to it so much
because it is immoral because it is 4 bore
AS for such sheer inventions as the Amurracan
and the mother-tOngue-less young lady who has
been yoluble in England ever since the Fourth
of July, 1776, but was never seen or heard any
where else, how stale and wearisome they are!
Would it be an international affront to ask for
something new and fresh?

THE GREAT BETRAYAL.

Senator Burtons blunt revelations of nsin-
cerity among his colleagues on the Cuban reel
proeity question will cause no surprise TO Trib-
une readers. Our Washington correspondent
has kept them well Informed upon the subject
Long ago our special Washington dispatches
pointed out that the professed friends of reci-
procity and supporters of the administration in
the Senate could compel the passage of the reci-
procity bill if only they would assert their
leadership in courageous and straightforward
manner; pointed out too that failure thus TO
do would subject certain Senators to grave sus-
picjon OF being insincere in their professions
of support of the administration's-and of the
Republican party's-polcy. More than that it
was repeatedly declared in these columns that
blame for the failure of reciprocity and for al
evils which might proceed from that failure
would rest not only upon the Boxers" who
openly opposed reciprocity. but also upon those
who neglected to overcome that opposition. All
that we have said upon those lines is to-day
corroborated and confirmed in ample measure
by the voluntary declaration Of one of the most
conspicuous and authoritative of the anti-reci-
proeify Senator's.
But what next? Those responsible for the
betrayal Of Cuba and the still worse betrayal
OF the Republican party and of the American
nation now jauntily saying that it is all
3 rl2Qls 10 has Detn uOLes we nave
delayed the matter little; reciprocity will go
through next fall without opposition. In that
they make 8 great mistake. Reciprocity may
go through. We believe it will. But vast evil
has been done. and it viii remain. The mon-
sfrous breach of faith will remain on record
The good name of the United States will have
been furnished. The Cuban Government will
have been embarrassed and crippled. The Cuban
Republic will have been made less secure The
Cuban people will have been imbued with dis
trust of us and with resentment toward us.
The negotiation OF advantageous treaties with
Cuba VIII have been made more difficult Thou
SANDS of honest and industrious men in Cuba
will have been brought to financial ruin. Amer
icar goods will have been still more, excluded
from the Cuban market in favor of European
competitors; and after all these things gentle
men at Washington will do what they might
have done months ago. and what, if done then.
would have prevented all these undesirable
things.
There is. however. something else. BY that
time. when reciprocity is at last granted. some
tiing else will have happened. The allied
sugar trusts will have reaped their rich harvest
through the spoiation of Cuba. They will have
acquired at a 1.-THE of their real value the rich
Cuban sugar lands whose owpers have been
forced into bankruptcy. so that then IL will not
matter TO them If the sugar tariff is reduced.
Indeed. It will be to their advantage to have it
reduced. That the putting Of some millions of
~sllars into the pockets OF the sugar trusts.

"THE JEWISH WORLD"

The philanthropists who are interested in the
uplifting OF the people who make up the popu-
ation of the densely crowded East Side have
done much in that direction. Trade schools,
lecture courses, libraries. clubs, and schools for
children and for adults have been established
and and women have given literally of
their time and money to help the unfortunate
people to help themselves.
The latest educational measure undertaken
by the friends of the dwelleIs in the tenement
house district takes the form of what the pro-
moters of tn enterprise call "cean news
paper" one page of which is printed in Eng
lish and the rest in Yiddish. The poor sweat
shop workers Industrious readers, and the
literature with which they have been supplied
has not always been of the wholesome kind.
Some students of the East Side conditions have
gone far as to say that much of the good
work of the friends and teachers of the poor
people has been undone by the current unclean
literature and for that reason the circulation
of the new paper. which is called THE Jewish
World will probably become an important fac
tor in the betterment and the Americanization
of the Yiddish reading population of this city,
which is estimated at nearly quarter of a
million souls

will be all that will have been gained by the
delay to offset the heavy list of losses which
we have enumerated. 1t is to be hoped those
responsible for the situation will find the bal
ance on the right side. The American nation
certainly will not. Nor will it soon forget this
great betrayal. Referring on June "a to the
Sugar Trust scheme for delaying reciprocity
until Cuba could be looted we said in this place
that there will one day be a stern reckoning
with those responsible for the failure to balk
1.-The scheme as well as with those responsible
"for It's conception and execution; and that day
"Of reckoning may not be far off" That is
equally true and pertinent to-day. Gentlemen
may hope the great betrayal will be forgotten
In the final performance of neglected duty, or
in the hurrah with which they falsely and
fatuously imagine the nation would greet the
dragOOning of Cuba into this Union. It viii
not be so. Cuba may forgive. The United
States will not forget.

THE PHILOSOPHER OF THE PUMP.

Ex-Mayor Van Wyck when in office said
Devery was the best chief of police New-York
ever had 1t is not on record that Devery ever
repaid the compliment by praising Van Wyck
as the best Mayor who ever sat in the City Hall.
He has too keen sense of humor TO say any
thing of that sort. One thing is undeniable:
Devery is the liyeliest talker who was ever
prominent in the police force, and his -Four
Corners" epigrams do much to promote the
gayety Of New-Yorkers this summer He is a
sort of Dooley satirist of the West Side pump.
It Is much to be hoped Se Will take the stump
in our local campaigns hereafter. His audi
ences will be abundantly entertained, and will
never have a dull moment.
The former commander OF the men in blue
and brass has been so thrifty in the course Of
his official careers that, like some other well
known men who have occupied places of re-
sponsiblity In the department, he has made
extensive investments in real estate. With his
flow of language and command Of picturesque
vocabulary why should he not make a striking
success as a real estate auctioneer? His capa-
bflities for welding the hammer effectively are
certainly exceptional
