II have discovered the source of
life!"
The new professor, who had only
been drawing a salary for three days
in the great university, fiourished in
his hand quart bottle of protoplasm
as he spoke standing upon the thresh-
old of the presidents office, says Life.
That gentleman frowned.
IF that's the best you can do" he
observed, I'm afraid you'll lose your
job"
"But. my dear sir, demonstrated the
new professor, lis it nothing to dis
cover the source of life?''
And the president smiled satirically
as he replied:
Absolutely nothing, sir, in these
days. Why, only this week the source
of life has been discovered four times,
without attracting absolutely any at
tention at all from the papers. Young
man, unless you can discover some
thing new and startling enough to adj
vertise this college in the proper man
ner, / warn you that your days are

A TRAGEDY OF POLITICS.

The Philadelphia North American
of last Sunday devoted a page and
half to telling the story of the rise and
fall of j. Edward Addicks in Della
ware politics. The writer of the mar
rative assumes that Addicks has now
passed from the stage of political in
fluence; that his power is broken and
that he will never again be a factor
in the public affairs of the Bay State.
For fifteen years Addicks has been
a factor in Delaware politics. He en-
tered it a millionaire, with the idea
that money was all-powerful; that he
could buy anything he wanted If he
was willing to pay the price; that ev-
cry man was for sale, and that ambi-
tons best lieutenant was check
book. Having wealth, Addicks want
ed honors, and fixed his eye upon the
United States Senate. Other men had
bought their way into the Senate, and
Addicks resolved to acquire honors in
the same way. He set about to build
ing up a political machine that would
elect him to the Senate. From that
time on until within few weeks Ad-
dicks money has been poured out free
ly in Delaware. His campaigns have
cost him millions. At one time he was
able to get within one vote of the COW
eted seat in the Senate, but at no time
was he able to grasp the substance of
the fame that he wanted.
In building up his political machine
Addicks took to his confidence and
service two brainy young men, one a
struggling jeweler and the other a
physician whose practice was about
enough to buy oats for his horse. He
furnished them with money. sent them
among the voters and encouraged them
in building up a machine which he
fatuously believed would operate for
his ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Meanwhile he adj
vanced the interests of his proteges
and made them both rich men. One of
them is now in the United States Sem
ate, in the seat Addicks wanted for
himself The other is really the boss
of Republican politics in Delaware.
Both, it is asserted by the North
Americans writer, have repudiated
Addicks; thrown him down." turned
their backs upon the man who made
them.
Ingratitude? That is what most peo-
Pile will call it. And yet what can a
man of Addicks' stamp expect, when
he deliberately sets about to corrupt
the politics of a state, to debauch it's
voters and buy himself into promi-
hence? Some five or six years ago
Addicks, in the arrogance of his
wealth, slapped his hand upon his
pocket and said: MY best friend is
here; have no friend but my dollars"
1t seems he spoke truer than he knew.
Even she who was then his wife later
repudiated him and got a divorce from
him. He permitted politics and his abb
sorbing desire to secure a senatorship
to interfere with his domestic affairs,
and it seems that his morals were no
higher than his politics. He placed the
dollar before everything else; and in
the end lost about everything that
makes life worth living, according to
the North Americans story. 1t is to be
noted, however, that Addicks denies the
correctness of the narrative referred
to. Time will tell which is right.

1t is charged that cocaine is sold
openly at soda fountains in New York,
and movement has been inaugurated
there to put a stop to it. The cocaine

crime to sell the drug except on a

A large crop of lawsuits is expected
to grow out of the Iroquois Theater
disaster. Relatives of the victims are
talking about bringing actions for
damages against the proprietors, or
the city, or both, and the managers of
other theaters are on the point of
bringing suit against the city for shut
ting up their houses after they had
been inspected by official inspectors.
The undertakers and the lawyers will
profit from the disaster.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-01-21

Horrible stories of the preying of hui
man hyenas upon the victims of the
Iroquois Theater fire, in Chicago, are
being developed by the coroner who is
investigating the case. AS was stated
in our dispatches, in one instance
young man had a diamond ring which
he admitted having stolen from the
finger of a dead mans hand that was
hanging over the side of a wagon. In
other instances the police have infor-
nation that thieves cut off the fingers
and ears of women who were still
struggling in death agony, to get their
jewelry. In another case the body of a
woman, who had on about $1,000 worth
of diamonds and a considerable sum of
money in her pocket, mysteriously dis
appeared and has not since been found.
1t seems almost incredible that hui
mans could sink to such depths of
degradation.

A warm controversy has arisen in
New York over the authorship of the
expression, Hell with the lid off,
which DR.. Parkhurst used in connec-

carried the election. One person has
traced the expression to Sarah Bern
hardt, another to John Burns of the
English Parliament, another to James
Parton, who wrote life of Andrew
jackson, and still another to Mark
Twain. The probabilities are that it
is older than any of these opinions
make it. and may have come down
from the time of Nero. 1t will be re-
called that Mark Twain thought the
