They are evidently looking for a Wis
itation of angels in the town of Cald-
well, N. Y, where the young women
between 16 and 81 years OF age have
formed an interesting organization.
The object of the organization is to
compel young men who desire to mar
ry it's members to pledge them
selves in the presence of the
club not to use tobacco or
intoxicants in any form. not to dance,
play cards, billiards, pool or any game
of chance; not to stay out at nights
later than 10 o'clock, and to attend re-
ligious services at least once each
Sunday. The girls say they will mar
ry no man who refuses to thus pledge
himself. Except for the coming of the
angels, Caldwell will be apt to grow
a fine crop of old maids.

There exists actually no such ques-
ton as, What shall we do with cur
Ex-Presidents ?" except as some person
raises it for academic discussion. If
such a question existed before, Ex-
Presidents Harrison and Cleveland
answered it by their dignif1ed and
American conduct after retiring from
the high Office. But now John Bigelow
and Charles Francis Adams have again
raised the point, and are arguing for
the graduating of Ex-Presidents di-
rectly into the federal Senate for life"
as Senators at large. That process, it
is claimed, would give the nation the
benefit of the matured wisdom, expert
ence and craftsmanship of men who
have served in the highest Office in the
gift of the voters. The adoption of the
idea, however, could hardly be brought
about. 1t is not easy to amend the
constitution.

Japan has been doing some expert
menting with the mosquito-malarla
theory in her island of Formosa. She
sent two battalions of troops into the
most malarious section of the island
one battalion was perfectly protected
against mosquitoes, and not case OF
malaria was developed among the men.
The other battalion was left unpro-
tected and the mosquitoes fed on the
soldiers at will. Among these troops
there were 259 cases of malaria. The
experiment covered 161 days of the ma
laria season.

Senator Hoar made a neat point in
the Senate day or two ago. Senator
Dubois of Idaho presented a petition
from the Chamber Of Commerce of
Manila relating to the Chinese ques-

cepted the petition and referred it to
the Philippine Committee. Senator
Hoar said he presumed that the accep-
lance Of the petition, signed by Fill
pinos was an acknowledgement by the
Senate that the Filipinos were citizens
of the United States, since it would
be in violation of the rules and prac-
tees OF the Senate to receive a petition

EXPENSIVE CRIMINAL TRIALS.

The Florence Burns case in New
York has called the attention Of the
people of that city to the importance
of having preliminary hearing in
all capital offenses. There is no
doubt that if the case Of Florence
Burns had been taken before the grand
jury without having been examined by
a committing magistrate an indictment
would have been found against her.
because the states witnesses, if they
had not been ross-examined. would
have made out a case against her that
would have justified the states at
torney in believing that he could con-
vict her. The cross examination of the
states witnesses before the magistrate,
however. showed that the states evil
dence was not worth a great deal
Had an indictment been found and no
additional evidence been discovered,
there would have been a long and
costly trial with the result that the
girl would have been acquitted.
1t is said that the preliminary ex-
animation in the Florence Burns case
was the first of the kind in a capital
case in New York City for many years.
There the policy of the detectives is
alleged to be, when a great crime has
been committed. to arrest some one
to whom the finger of suspician points
and then to do all that it is possible
10 do to convict the party arrested.
Having a theory they think it their
duty to sustain it. The consequence is
that great many indictments are
found which cannot be sustained be-
fore jury. The time of the courts
Is wasted and the county is burdened
with cost of expensive trials.
In most parts of the country these
are preliminary hearings in important
cases. Would it not be good practice
everywhere for the states attorney or
his representative to examine witness
in the grand jury room, it being OBJ
ligatory on him to summon all
the witnesses who have information
against or for the accused parties? OF
course the examination of the wit
nessess would not be thorough, but
enough would be brought out to en-
able the grand jury to decide whether
or not an indictment could be sus-
tanned. By pursuing such a course a
vast number of criminal trials would
De prevented and many accused per-
sons would be relieved of the trouble
and expense of defending themselves.

Speaker Henderson is understood to
be in favor of a liberal policy towards
Cuba and against ship subsidies. This
has made the occasion for a break in
the ranks of the Republican party in
his district, in Iowa, and it is said he
will have to fight hard in the next
election to retain his seat. An ''insur-
gent" faction, under the leadership of
an adroit practical politician of the
name of COPYRIGHT, is making a fight
on Gen. Henderson in the name Of
the inviolable and sacred tariff, and
protection to infant industries, such as
monster ocean steamship companies. If
Gen. Henderson lets such a faction as
that beat him, he deserves to be
beaten.

she says she will pay back every cent

THE POSTAL SERVICE LOoTERs

After delay of two years, justice
has overtaken Nelly, Rathbone and
Reeves, the hooters of the Cuban postal
service. 1t appears that there is
good prospect that they will shortly
begin serving their sentences of ten
years Imprisonment each. Under the
cuban laws they can appeal to the
Supreme Court of the island, but on
errors and rulings of the trial court
only. They cannot appeal on evidence.
Their trial was carefully conducted
and they were represented by able
counsel. The Cuban laws, it seems,
are not so full of loopholes for the es-
cape of criminals as are our own laws
Nicely and Rathbone were Republicans
high in the councils of their party be-
fore they went to Cuba, the first in
Indiana and the other in Ohio Rath-
bone was made Director General of
Cuban posts, and Nicely was by him
appointed chief financial agent of the
system at the solicitation of Assistant
Postmaster General Perry S. Heath
the "surcharged" postage stamps in his
possession, amounting to SAIL 900, as
there had been a new issue for the
island. The small receipts from the
postoffices of the island led to the
suspicion that these stamps had not
been destroyed, but that Nelly and
certain confederates had continued TO
send them out, and had pocketed the
money. Neely's rapidly growing for
tune and Rathbone's extravagant ex-
penditures put them under suspicion.
An investigation by postoSice experts
from Washington resulted in the arrest
of Nicely in May, 1900, and later of
Rathbone and Reeves. The trial was
begun in January last, and shortly
thereafter Reeves turned states evil
dence, accusing Nicely and Rathbone.
If he hoped to clear his own skirts
by this process he failed, since he re-
ceived a ten years sentence along with
his principals.
