GREAT RESPONSIBILITY.

The Importance of the office of Dis
trict Attorney to be balloted for by the
Republican Convention tonight, can
not be oyerestimated The incumbent
will be the guide upon whose action
will rest the success or failure of the
county system of government. By the
provisions of the County Act he is the
legal adviser not only of all the county
officials but also of the Board of Super
yisors and will represent the county in
all suits brought against it as well as
prosecuting in its name. AS this is
the initial year of an untrled system
the responsibility for it's successful
working will largely rest on his shoul-
ders; and man of tried capacity and
ability should be selected if affairs are
to run smoothly.

A strange story comes from China
of a remarkable operation for appen-
dicitis performed by Mrs. William H.
Logan, wife of medical missionary
in China. When living in the far in
terror of that vast country, eight hum
dred miles from the nearest doctor,
her husband was stricken with appen-
dicitis. DR.. Logan saw that his only
chance of recovery lay in an opera
ton, which he asked his wife to ger
form according to instructions which
he gave her. A more appalling position
for a human being to be placed in
could scarcely be imagined; but this
heroic woman, who might, perhaps,
have screamed if a mouse had run over
her feet, placed her husband under an
anaesthetic, and with her unskilled
hand successfully removed his appen-
dix. Afterward, when he had rallied
sufficiently to be moved, she took him
eight hundred miles by wagon and rail
to a physician, who completed the
cure.

When Sir Thomas Upton arrived in
New York last month, he received a
letter from an Irishman at Tompkins-
vile wishing him every success with
the Shamrock III. This 1rishman said
that when the Shamrock I arrived at
New York in 1899 his wife presented
him with a son. Two years later, when
the Shamrock II came into port she
celebrated the occasion by bringing a
daughter into the world, and this year
as soon as the Shamrock III anchored
she gave birth to another son. The
Irishman hoped that Sir Thomas would
never have to come again after the cup,
because, he said, if Upton did he would
be busted Sir Thomas sent him 4
few Shamrock pins for the members of
his family, and when he wrote to
thank him for them, the Irishman
said: "If by any ill-fortune you should
not win the cup this year, and have
to come after it again, for heavens
sake don't bring schooner"

WARS NOT FASHIONABLE.

It is difficult in these days to get up
great war. The world has not seen
one of the first magnitude since 1870.
a generation ago. A strong power viii
still attack a weak one, but wars be-
tween first-class nations are becoming
fewer and farther between and this
despite the fact that the great powers
are those between whom exists the
most friction.
This change in international policy
has not been brought about by any in
crease of public respect for the mild
humanities There is no more DISPOSE
ton than there ever was to turn the
other cheek. One cannot see that the
millennium is nearer, by any growth of
: charity, temperance, meekness or
brotherly love between men. For the
impelling cause behind the new era,
one must look to the growth of de-
Effectiveness in war. Chances are
against fighting man now. Formerly
he had show to come back safe with
honor; now he has to take the risks of
dynamite, lyddite, rapid-fire guns, re-
peating rifles, long-range shells, aerial
explosives and score more of deadly
missiles unknown in any war before.
Let two great modern armies come
face to face and the mortality will be
colossal in it's magnitude. The pros
pect does not tempt the bravest man;
and the cost of it in treasure as well
as in blood appals the strongest nation.
1t is singular paradox that the more
destructive the devices of slaughter be-
come, the better for the worlds peace.
In that respect the man who makes
two shells explode where one exploded
before is a public benefactor.
The element of cost in money is be-
coming more and more important. The
world owes more cash now than it can
ever repay. The most it can do is to
keep up the interest account. War
would not be so bad economically if it
merely caused money to change hands; ,
but it goes further than that in eIimi-
mating wealth and thereby lessening
the resources and credit of overbur-
dened States. 1t also implies the sup |
port of a vast armed body of consumers
in time Of peace. No nation, unless it |
is sure of conquest, can afford the |
luxury of war and then it must make |
the enjoyment brief. 1t is a recogni-
ton of this truth at ST. Petersburg and |
other capitals which accounts for the |
Tribunal at The Hague, for the caution |
Of Russia and Japan, for the failure of |
Germany to recognize the Beers, for |
the easy settlement of the Venezuelan |
affair of 1895 and the Fashoda incident |
in 1900.

The Independent complains that eight
japanese are employed on Quarantine
Island to do lawn and other work and
adds: "They are being paid $40 q
month, with room and board. The work
is light and would be a boon to many

citizen who would take a yardboy job
of the kind noted, and the Independent

When the train came along the en-

NIVAL NEXT WEEK.
Was One Of the Animals Attacking
Sir George Tate, OF England,
Killing Six of His Men.

W c. H, Smith, the carnival pro-
moter received letter from Mr.
Frank w. Gaskill saying that the two
new lionesses that were to join the
carnival at Dallas, Tex, were delayed
nv storm while crossing the ocean
and did not reach the carnival until
the Texarkana engagement, and that
they would positively appear at the
Pine Bluff engagement There was
considerable excitement last Satur-
day afternoon when the Pacific eX-
Dressman pushed out on the platform
a large box containing two large
lions on one end. One of the boards
was loose, and big paw was feeling
around to see what it could find. 1t
took number of blows from heavy
stick to get the paw back, after which
the board was securely fastened. The
box contained two full-grown East
India lionesses from Singapore, In
dia, by Burtelas, the great animal
importer of New York. They were
hurried through by special express to
their destination. They were con-
fined for sixty-tWo days in a small
wooden cage, since leaving their In
sented an unusual appearance. She
is tailless, and thereby hangs a tale
where no tail is.
Three years ago DR.. George Tate,
of England, went to India to hunt
big game. He was successful hunts
man and landed several lions, two
royal bengal tigers and much small
er game during his thirty days jaunt,
which ended with a fight with
to six of Sir Georges attendants that
it startled the locality. The newspa-
pers took it up and it was pointe
papers took it up and it was printed
in all the big dailies of Europe and
America. 1t was during this fight
that Sir George with one blow of his
sabre cut completely off the tail Of the
lioness, which escaped. About two
years ago Sir George was notified
that the animal was seen by some Of
the natives, and a reward was offer
ed for her capture. Col. P. J. Mundy,
WIZ is one of the proprietors of the
Gaskil-Mundy Carnival company, is
an Englishman, and is related to Sir
George Tate. Sir George. knowing
that Col Mundy was on the lookout
some time ago and told him the facts
about the lioness. Col Mundy offered
to buy her at any price. Last Christ
mas, while the carnival was at Waco,
Texas, Col. Munday received letter
stating that the animal had been cap
tured and would be shipped to him
by way Of the capes., At last she ar
rived and is with the carnival and will
be on exhibition in this city
Col. Munday received the tale of
the tailless lioness some time ago but
this is the first time the story has
been printed.
Those who visit the animal eXhi-
bition next week will see this ami
NAL working with the others and be-
ing worked by the prince of all ami
nal trainers, Capt. Ricardo, who says
that the tailless loness will be the
best one of the bunch.
