RUFUS YOUNG
4 Man who Passed His Life in Steal.
ing Horses.

A Man Who Passed His Life in Steal.
ing Horses.
The career Of Rufus Young, the horse
thief who died at the Rutland coun-
ty jail yesterday, says the Rutland
Herald, is typical enough to be more
than curiosity. 1t is no sporadic
case. Years ago In New York State
he ran hotel; but this was only his
avocation. His vocation was that Of
horse thief. His hotel was only
side issue. He was the leader of a
gang Of men who picked up other peo-
ple's horses and sold them. 1t could
hardly be said that Young had a pas
sion for making money. He never
made any amount Of money at stealing
horses, and he spent at least thirty
two years Of his life In prison as a
penalty for plying his trade. He SIM
ply had a propensity for taking horses
wherever found. He probably never
tried to break into a jewery store
nor a bank, nor was he ever known
to hold up lonely traveller or to
adroitly touch a mans leather for his
money" Young was after horses, and
he wanted to sell them, too, the mo-
ment he captured one. He finished Il
twenty-five year term in prison less
than two months ago, and probably
half dozen times between that and
his death he broke into barns in search
Of horses.
We would say that Young was men-
tally sick. We do not think that he was
amenable to religious instruction. SO
far as horses are concerned, he had
no sense of right and wrong. He was
beyond the influence Of prayer or NOR
al tuition. He needed a doctor rather
than a minister. Why should he not
have been placed In hospital for In
curabIes rather than in a prison ?
Scientists tell us that the criminal i'm.
pulse runs in families. Young's dis
ease, II we may so term 1t, may have
been case of atavism, revival or
recrudescence of criminal disposi-
ton that could be traced back to his
ancestors. In that event the person to
punish would be Young's great-grand-
father, perhaps, and not him. He need.
ed medical treatment and care. We
wonder whether the world will so de-
velop in wisdom on these matters that
the insane criminals will be eventually
separated from the vicious and placed
where they cannot harm the commu-
nifty.

Life-savinR Order.

Many years ago the American war
ship Delaware came near foundering
of the coast Of Sardinia while lufing
through a heavy squall during q morn
ing watch. The unauthorized letting
go Of the fore sheet" alone saved the
ship from going down with 1,100 souls
on board. The first lieutenant, after
ward Commodore Thomas W. wyman,
with difficult climbing succeeded In
reaching the quarter deck. where,
snatching the trumpet from the OH
Ger in charge, his first order. given in
a voice heard distinctly fore and aft,
was Keep clear Of the paint work.
This command to hundreds Of human

them to order and prevented = panic,

a time, with a line Of battle ship on
her beam ends clean paint work was Of
paramount importance their condition
could not be a serious one.

Mr.. Ashton Ellis. the translator OF
Wagner's prose works and the Glase-

that no less than $4,000 had been
paid as royalties to the Wagner family
for last years performances. Mr. FL
lis points out that no less than two.
thirds OF the sum named were set down

which Mr.. Ellis does not admit. the
total royalties would be something IKE

Deep Impression.
Havana. Cuba.-The Senate by a
vote of sixteen to FIVE ratified the reci'
procity treaty with the United States.
The treaty was thus ratified by ex'

q Nationalist voted in favor OF the
treaty. and five Nationalists against II.
There were three %absentees. all OF
whom. 1t Is believed. favored the treaty.
| The ratification required only a major
ity vote, so that there were several
votes to spare.
The vote was taken Immediately on
! the conclusion of q forcefui appeal by
Senior Bustamente. He insisted that
whether the trust or the producers
were the chief beneficiaries OF the
| twenty per cent. reduction Of customs
! duties OH Cuban sugar shipped to the
United States. 1t was not possible that
| such differeptial treatment favoring
! Cuban sugar In competition with b a
| OF Europe. could result other thnn Ia
| vorably to Cuba's trade.
Under the treaty. he said. the Euro
pean producer would be unable TO COM
pete with Cuba. II the European M
, lions were really seeking to prevent the
ratification Of the treaty In the United
! States Senate. 1t was not on account
Of the little they would lose in the Gu
| ban markets. but because they would
no longer be able to send sugar to the
| United States.
The treaty would also provide the
protection that Cuba needed on to.
