POETIC RETRIBUTIoH.

IT is IMPOSSIBLE to see but one
i side of the story about the Russian
who tried to make his wife throw
their baby to- the wolves that were pur-
suing the little family AS the Assoc
cIated Press relates 10, when the wolves
drew near the husband insisted that
the child be thrown out Of the sleigh,
his idea being that while the animals
were destroying The infant the hus-
band and wife might find their way
20 safety
The mother offered vigorous resist
ance and it was but natural that she
should. Mother love is mother love
the world over. in Russia as elsewhere.
I'm a struggle that followed the wo-
mans refusal TO sacrifice her child.
both mother and infant were thrown
from the sleigh. BY some favoring dis
pensation OF Providence, the wolves
never saw the defenseless ones. but
continued their pursuit Of the sleigh.
I'm the end they overlook it and tore
the man 20 pieces. The mother and
child were subsequently saved.
Here was a case Of poetic retribuuon
that arrived on schedule time. The
story sounds almost too good to be
true. The father certainly deserved the
fate that overlook him. The callous
may argue that his notion was an
right that it was proper 20 sacrifice
the infant If by that means two adults
could be saved. True the life of an
infant is not so valuable. II people can
be persuaded TO look az it from the
cold-blooded standpoint, as the life Of
an adult. bat of what value is the life
of an adult who saves himself by sac
ridcing a child?
The husband in this case was a stony
hearted brute. He must have been or
it would never have occurred to him
90 throw the baby TO the wolves. II
he had had any of the finer feelings
he would have exhausted every effort
10 save himself and his family. and
then died with the rest or. better
stu If he had possessed real courage.
De would have turned the reins over
10 his wife and jumped out himself to
face the wolves. Surely a man. with
power I'm his arms, would have been
able 10 make such a Tight as 10 save
Dis family.
This fellow never thought OF that
and the fact that De didn't shows that
he weu deserved his terrible fate. The
story may not De true, but we are
tempted 90 hope Ct Is true, for doubtless
such men do live In Russia, as else

THE HABITUAL CRIMINAL.


CIR ROBERT ANDERSON. former
y commissioner Of police in London.
contributes to one Of the current peri
Odicals a paper on an always interest
ing subject-the cure of habitual Grim
inals. Police officers generally recog-
nize the fact that the habitual criminal
is the most dangerous menace to So
ciety. This is true not so much by rea-
son of his own acts as because he
teaches other men and boys how to be-
come criminals.
Sir Robert says. when verdict OF
guilty has been found against a person
charged with crime, the proper question
for consideration ought to be not what
sentence it would be just to award for
the crime. but what in the interests of
the community should be done with the
criminal My proposal is that a con-
victed felon who is proved to be an
associate Of criminals and to have no
visible means shall, unless he can salts
fy the court to the contrary, be deemed
to be living by crime. and shall judi
cialIy be declared 10 be a professional
criminal
1T is fortunately no longer a neces-
sity to prove that such criminals are
plainly disunguishable. But 1 want the
public to grasp the fact first, that JUS,
as most of the vulgar crimes Of violence
are due 10 drink. so most Of the serious
crimes against property are the work
of professional criminals; and, secondly,
that it is perfectly practicable by deal
ing with these criminals i'm a sensible
way, 10 put an end to the great bulk OF
crimes Of this character"
The remedy suggested by Sir Robert
is indeterminate Imprisonment. That is.
he believes professional criminals should
be sent to prison for life or until they
manifest unmistakabIe signs Of rafor-
nation The objection to the remedy
is the difficulty Of determining when 4
confined criminal has reformed. He
may make a pretense at reformation;
he may join the Christian Endeavor
society Of his prison and he may make
"a model prisoner. Then, on being freed,
he may straightway commit a fresh
crime.
on the other hand, # is just as hard
TO keep a man. though he is an habiuaI
criminal, confined for his entire life in
a prison. Nobody can say with fnality
that all good has departed from the
man. We are told that there is some
way of reaching every human heart
The way is very hard 10 md. some
times. and those who look for it become
discouraged, but it is there
We doubt if the habitual criminal
can be reformed by Incarceration. Be
fore he becomes an habitual criminal he
must have served several sentences so
that penitentiary life holds few terrors
FOR him. The advantage In keeping
him shut up is to protect society from
further unlawful acts by his hand or
brain and this is the only feature Of Sir
Roberts plan that seems worth while.

THE LAW COURT.
Arguments in the Bangor
Brewer Bridge Case.
A Caribou Man Shoots His Wife and
Then Kills Himself.
Electric Road from Pressure Isle to
Washburn and Perham.

Portland, Me, July 9.-The Bangor
Brewer bridge case was argued before
the law court, this afternoon. Judge
E. Foster argued for the city and Hon.
Herbert M. Heath for the State. In
this case the attorney general of the
State has petitioned for Il writ of man.
damus to compel the city of Bangor
to pay the award of the appraisers for
| the toll bridge between the two cities.
Appraisers were appointed, last spring,
to fix a price upon the bridge, Bangor
and Brewer having voted to make it Il
free bridge. The appraisers found the
bridge to be worth sG2.3iS and determined
that Bangor should pay four-fifths of this
sum after the $4,000 had been paid by
the county of Penobscot; and Brewer was
to pay one-flfth of this remaining amount.
According to the argument made by
Judge Foster, Bangor refused to pay this
for several reasons:
In the first place it considered the
award of value too large In the second
place it claims that when the Bridge
Company was given permission to build
the bridge and collect tolls fer so years,
the bridge was then to become public
property.
Another claim of the city of Bangor was
that when the appraisal was made on the
bridge only two-thirds of the bridge was
standing, the middle span having been
carried out and the city of Bangor
claims that 1t should not be forced to
pay such an eXorbitant price for two
thirds of q bridge.
The city of Bangor also argues that this
is not a matter that concerns the State
at large and therefore the attorney gen
eral had no right to move in this matter.
Judge Foster claimed that the attorney
general was moving In this matter, not
because the interest of the State was at
stake, but because the private corpora
ton, the Bangor Bridge Co. urged him
| to do So
IT, M. Heath of Augusta, argued in sup

be issued
| Mr. Heath denied that the Bridge Co.
had anything to do with this matter, no
more than any other corporation or any
other individual. The object of the peti
ton is merely to make the city of Bangor
do what it has voted to do and agreed
to do,

on Return Home.

London. July 9.-Thc visit of Pres.
l4oubet to London was brought to a.
close, at $40 O'Clock Thursday morning,
when the French Chief Magistrate left
the Victoria station for Dover.
The scenes and incidents of his de-
parture testified to how the Republican
President by his unassuming dignity
and cordial sincerity had captured ALI
classes and won that popular good will
which sovereigns have been unable to
achieve.
Despite the earliness of his departure
crowds lined the route from st. James
| palace to the railroad station, and Brit
ish "hurrahs" and French "Vive Lou
bets" re-echoed through the streets uir-
| til the President had entered the station
Here the nations guest was met by
the King, the Prince of Wales, the Duke
of Connaught Lord Lansdowne. Prem
Ter Balfour, other ministers, members Of
the French embassy. and crowd OF

AS M. Loubet'S carriage drew UP,
King Edward advanced with outstretch-.
| ed hands and taking the President ia
miliarly by the arm. led him through
| the waiting room to the royal car For
a few minutes the King and the Presi-
dent stood talking with much anima-
| ton. King Edward grasped M. Loubet's
right hand and shook 1t with extreme
cordially, while with the left hand he
patted the President on the shoulder.
| Official, us well as amateur artists could
be seen in all directions securing snap
shots of the striking scene.

until the train pulled out amid cheers
and shouts of ''Vive Loubet" mingled
| with the strains OF THE MarseilIaise.r
Pres. Loubet stood at window Of the
car waving his hat in his gloved hand
until the royal special disappeared from
view.
Upon his arrival at Dover NJ. Loubet
embarked on the French cruiser
Guichen and the vessel sailed at once
for Calais, escorted by a torpedo flotilla
and followed by the farewell salutes
from the fleet and castle. -'
Before his departure from Dover.
Pres. Loubet telegraphed to King Ed

A HEROIC DEED.
Bostonian Saves Infant Child

Falling Electric Wire Pole.
Is Seriously injured-ChiId Bruised
Three Others Hurt.

Boston, July "a pole supporting
six large feed wires of the Edison Illec-
trio illuminating Co.. In front of No. 2
First street, near the corner of Dorches-
ter avenue, South Boston, fell about 8
O'Clock tonight, injuring five persons,
none fatally, and causing n suspension

Mrs. Ellen Griffin, numerous body
bruises. treated at her home.
Beside the above, numerous people
received severe shocks from contact
with the wires, each of which carried u
voltage of 200, before the power was
shut off. The accident was due, it is
said to the fact that the pole had de-
cayed and fell before the strain of the
heavy wires. There were many people
in the vicinity at the time. the warm
weather bringing out an unusual
number,
Mrs. Conroy had her infant in badly
carriage and was passing just as the
pole was seen to topple. Holloran, see
ing the child's danger, jumped for the
carriage and succeeded in pulling it
from under the falling pole. thereby
saving the child's life. but he was
knocked down and severely injured
about the left arm and shoulder, while
Mrs. Conroy was even less fortunate.
She was thrown to the ground and her
leg broken and 1t Is feared that she
may have received internal injuries.
The accident drew a crowd of several
thousand and great excitement pre-
vailed until it was ascertained that no
one had been killed. The electric lights
were shut off, leaving that section of
the city in darkness for several hours,
while all street tratlIc was at a stand
still until the wreckage could be
cleared away.

to escape from an angry wife who ac-
cused her of an intrigue with her hus-
band, Thomas A. Healy, Mrs. Bridget
Cavanagh, early To-Day plunged to a
horrible death from the fifth-story fire
escape platform of her home in Third
avenue to the court yard below.
Pursued by his incensed wife, his son
and a policeman, Healy had reached
the fire escape and then quickly de-
seconded to the street level. The woman
accused with him tried to escape by
using an ironing board as a bridge to
the roof of an adjoining building. The
board turned under her and she was
hurled into the air shaft. Her body
struck an iron bracket at the first floor
and was horribly cut and bruised.
Previously Mrs. Healy, emaciated
and poorly clad and leading her small
son approached a policeman and asked
his help in serving a summons on her
husband. The policeman went with
Mrs. Healy to Mrs. Cavanagh's rooms.

and woman and there was mad rush
to escape.
