TRUSTEES OF THE POOR

At the meeting of the trustees of the
poor Wednesday Robert G. Fraim asked
for the appointment of committee to
draft bill for presentation to the Legis-
lature increasing the salaries of the trus-
tees from $50 year to 500 year. Sec
retary Parker seconded the motion
George r. Roberts made vigorous oppo-
sition that the members we're there to
look after the interests of the poor; that
they had accepted their positions know
ing what the salary was and that it would
not be in good taste for them to ask for
an increased compensation. II they did
not like the pay, they could retire from
the board. And in case tile motion should
pass he requested the chairman not to
appoint him on the committee, for he
would be ashamed to go to Dover on such
an errand. The motion was lost by q
vote OF z to Z. It was explained Wed.
nesday night that the motion was made
in joking way.
The trustees at a caucus decided that
at the April meeting they would vote fol
the retention OF all the old officers and
employees, who are: President. DR.. Col

WATER As FUEL

The problem of finding practical sub
stitute for hard coal, which OF late has
commanded the attention of this country,
has had several interesting solutions; but
it is doubtful if any of them has been
more novel or curious than that of Bos-
ton gentleman, A. G. Carey.
Mr.. Carey, who is described in the
Boston Globe as skilled mechanic and
the patentee Of nearly 100 inventions OF
his own, proposes to use water, unmixed
with any other substance as a fuel. In
demonstrating his idea, Mr.. Carey en-
ploys the Bunsen burner, invented many
years ago by Prof. Bunsen, of Heidel-
berg, and by means of this burner he is
able it is claimed, to get flame as large
as a bushel basket from single drup of
water. So much tubular arrangement as
the Bunsen burner is necessary, in order
to generate heat sufficiently intense, to
produce the desired result. BY allowing
the water to drip through the tiny fame
arising from this tube into piece Of
platinum, the gases contained in the
water are released and combustion fol-
lows. Any kind. of water will do, whether
fresh or salt, pure or impure. All that
is necessary, it appears, is to disintegrate
the water, and nature does does the rest
Although thoroughly confident that
his scheme for burning water is, in every
way, feasible and full of immense posi-
bilities OF development, Mr.. Carey, who is
now an old man, says that he feels hardly
able to undertake the task of continuing
his experiments and of carrying them to
asuccessful termination. He is willing,
however, to give the benefit of his dis
coyery TO science and to assist, so far as
possible, in developing and perfecting the
idea involved.
1t should be said that the fuel which
this Boston inventor would produce, and
also his method Of making it would bear
no real relation to the product and manu-
facture of what are known as gas water
and water gas, whose uses are well
known, and which are, moreover, rela-
lively unimportant when compared with
the utility of the fuel which, it is claimed,
can now be made from water by follow
ing the principle outlined above.

Look Closely to the Boats,

This is the time Of year when the steam
boat inspectors all over the country should
polish their glasses and put on their jump
ers and go down into the holds OF excursion
steamers and thoroughly examine every
part OF every craft licensed to carry pas
sengers. For this Is the season for large
crowds and occasional disasters, caused by
overlooking boats. over-working boilers
and other violations Of the laws governing
the use Of the navigable waters. On the
Potomac recently an excursion carried q
crowd which was easily to be estimated as
considerably above the legal limit. The
steamer was literally thrust deep into the
water SO that the paddle wheels could bare
ly give her Roadway. Had a severe storm
fNghtful accident might have happened
Passengers on the boat declare that they
saw no life preservers. Whether this was
true or not 1t is important to ask how 1t
was possible for the boats legal capacity to
be so palpably exceeded. 1t may be true
that there are not enough steamboat In
spectors to keep a daily watch upon every
summer excursion boat. but assuredly the
Official returns OF the operating companies
should indicate to the government bureau
in charge of such matters whether there
has been any overcrowding. and q company

Oratory and Office.

Former Governor Bradley. in his rafting
speech before the Kentucky republican con-
yention called for candidate for governor
who would be able to go up and down the
state and present the issues to the people
in stirring way In word, ne calleo
for the nomination of an orator. The APP
peal touched the convention for moment
Coming from an orator and in the home Of
excellent stump oratory, it was certain OF
attention. But the convention did not re-
spond to it. Colonel Belknap Is not an ora
tor in any sense of the word. But this Is
not to say that he is not capable OF good
speech. He Is an educated man Of affairs.
and the great majority OF such men talk
we'll in public and In private.
But the Kentucky republicans are at no
disadvantage on this score. Gov. Beckham.
who heads the opposition ticket. Is not an
orator. He lacks the voice. the presence
and the vocabulary necessary to the art
But he speaks very well after preparation.
and the man who reads the speech in his
newspaper gets the best of It. The two
Kentucky candidates. therefore. will not be
the sources Of pleasure for the crowds. The
party orators will be called in to tickle
them; and not unlikely Gov. Bradley will
head the one procession Of stumpers and
Senator Blackburn the other. Both men
are we'll qualified for such work. and II
they cut it out for their respective sides
the campaign will be sufficiently lively.
Oratory fills a great place in our affairs,
but 1t seldom secures for its possessor
nomination for a high executive office. Our
greatest orators have never reached the
presidency. Many have striven for the
place. but all have failed. The few who Sc
cured nominations were badly beaten at
the polls. Mr.. Lincoln's wonderful Grafton
at Gettysburg was delivered so unimpres-
sively that its marvellous beauty was not
detected until 1t appeared in print. General
Harrison was a most forceful speaker, but
in the early days Of his career was less
effective on the Indiana stump than George
w. Julian d. w. Voorhees,. whom. how
ever. he distanced for honors in the end
Mr. Mckinley was impressive speaker,
but as a campaigner before reaching his
presidential proportions he had less In
fuence over crowds at home than either
Mr.. Foraker or Benjamin Butterworth, and
the Tom Corwin rank he never approached.
Every man In his own order. Oratory is
much. but not all.

The Will and the Flesh.
From the Chicago Tribune,

The circumstances attending the illness
Of the pope recall many similar cases where
life has been greatly prolonged by the will
and by cheerfulness. They recall the words
of Joseph Glanvill. with which Poe begins
his "Ligeia"-"And the will therein lieth
which dieth not. Who knoweth the mys-
teries of the will with its vigor? Man doth
not yield himself to the angels, nor unto
death utterly. save only through the weak
ness of his feeble will" They recall Oar

Numerous examples Of this kind might be
cited. They involve a principle Of which
faith healers. mind curists. and others have
taken advantage.

the placing there Of other citizens. not
formally accused Of crime. The police au-
thorities Of this country have not yet by
law been given the right to make and keep
personal records of all people The Ger
man police to a large extent maintain q
close individual surveillance over the sub
jects OF the kaiser. but even their scrutiny
does not extend to the preservation Of
official photographs and anthropometric
data. The purpose of the "rogues'
gallery is to enable the police to identify
suspects, to connect newly arrested men
with prior crimes. to establish links in the
chain of evidence and to turn suspicion of
guilt into certainty. But the basic prin-
ciple of it's maintenance is that the subject
Is one already condemned. The very term
by which it Is Familiarity known indicates
its character. In the eye of the law today
Molineux Is not rogue not even a sus-
pected man, and in any event his case is
so notorious that the mere preservation of
a record would be of no possible avail to
the police authorities of later years II he
should fall from grace and offend against
the laws. The principle involved In this
matter Is of consequence to every citizen.
for if the police authorities can retain IN
their galleries of rogues and criminals the
identifying portraits and measurements
of men who have been formally acquitted
of crime they can with equal reason place
there those of citizens who have not even
been accused. on the assumption that some
day they may go wrong.

A Wise Labor Leader.

P. NJ Arthur whose sudden death was
accompanied by a most dramatic scene,
was a fine type Of labor leader, such q
man as the workingmen of this country
could we'll afford to follow. He had been
at the head of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers for many years. knew the
craft thoroughly and the men as individ-
uals, had a broad acquaintance with the
intimate workings of the corporations, en-
joyed the personal friendship of the mas
ters of transportation, and possessed.
moreover, a keen sense OF the RESPONSE
bility of the locomotive engineer toward
the country at large. He realized as do

ers out Of the fire Of controversy. His
policy was set against sympathetic strikes,
for he measured the position Of the loco
motive engineer on too large a scale to
permit him to be involved in quarrels not
his own and often based upon unjust de-
mands. Yet Arthur believed In cooperation

cured liberal concessions for bis men by

Currency Legislation.

1t Is very clear from what Senator Lodge

other sources. that while currency legsla

no particular measure is under considera-
ton by the majority leaders nor any line
agreed upon which gives to speculation at
this time any particular value. Suggestions,
are In order. and we may be very sure that
they will be offered In numbers before Con-
gress meets. Out of the discussion will
probably grow some action by Congress
from which the country will benefit And
1t seems most unlikely that Wall street
gamblers. having only increased facilities
for extending their operations in view, will
be permitted to determine any feature OF
the legislation.

Pension Office Clerks.

From the Boston Herald.
1t is reported that Commissioner Ware of
the pension Office has been making a CEN
sus of his clerks with respect to age. and
has made the "discomforting discovery
that by far the larger part Of them are
more than fifty years old-that Is, 1t is ex-
planned. lat least ten years past the age of
best activity for the work they have to per-
FORM" This condition Is due to the fact
that so large a proportion of them are old
soldiers. OF course. there are few soldiers
OF the civil war who are under fifty years
of age. But is forty the age when clerks
who lead a regular life and have not ex-
csedingly nervous duties reach their high
est efficiency and begin to decline? This
hardly appears reasonable. In view of their
experience in the work 1t would seem that.
as a rule. they ought to be moro capable at
fifty than at forty. and at sixty than at
fifty. Men are commonly expected, in the
absence Of any special disability, to be use
full business men at sixty. although. Of
course, they would not be fit for service in
the ranks in war. Military officers in fair
health are not retired until sixty-two years
old. There Is hint that the pension office
may be the first to have a civil pension list
established for 1t. We do not see a good
reason for this step.

Whistler.

James Abbott McNeill Whistler was I'M
questionably one of the most interesting
figures in the world of modern art. Pos
sessed of undoubted genius, inspired by ad-
vanced conceptions of the functions of art
and his character an extraordinary COM
pick of emotions. he could never be wholly
ignored, either producer or as a man.
Eccentricity was his dominant trait If it
be so termed. He could always be
depended upon to do or say the uausual
thing Once he emphatically objected to
having his pictures hung with those of
other American painters, claiming that he
was an EngliShman. Later he turned
against the English. He was born, prob
ably in st. Petersburg. of American par
ents. his father being an army engineer.
The artists birth was often accredited to
this country, but once on the witness stand,
which he frequently occupied, he swore
that he was born in Russia A contro-
versialist. he took deep umbrage at the
critics who offended him. He did not heSi-
tate to express his own views pOintedly,
but he insisted upon an accounting. often
in court for unpleasant comments upon
him or his works. His suit at law against
Ruskin was based upon Ruskin's condem-
nation of his works. The critic had de-
clared that one IF Whistlers "nocturnes"
was pot of paint flung in the public
face" RHskin poisoned the wound thus In
ficted by adding that Whistler was a cock
ney Whistler was granted damages in the
sum of one farthing. and he wore the coin
always after on his watch chain. But the
British public paid Ruskin's court costs. as
cheerful compensation for one of the
most highly entertaining spectacles it had
ever enjoyed. Stories of Whistler's erratic
hut tbay do
cloud the fact that he was master with
both the brush and the etching needle. He
was frankly impressionistic in his view of
life and nature and insisted that the func-
ton OF art Is to interpret and suggest
Gather than to portray with Photographic
hdeity. Although he had expatriated him.

pride IN the fact that this country produced
