By another OF his attempts to bore
his way out Of the Massachusetts pris-
on to which he was sent more than a
quarter of a century ago the public
is. reminded again of the existence of
Jesse 'Pomeroy, the New York Ameri-
can declares. And to be so reminded
Is to have borne In upon the mind the
hideous possibilities Of congeniality
perverted human nature. When a boy
this creature had lust for cruelty
that could be gratifled only by tor
turing and numbering children. He
was too young to hang, and the right
thing was done with him. He was
immured for life. No doubt Jesse
Pomeroy was, and is, insane in the
medical sense. Because Of some twist
OF nature he came into the world so
constituted that the desire to find
pleasure In innicting pain was over
mastering. He did not and does not
now. lack intelligence. but he was born
a moral idiot. It Is often the case with
such beings that they have perfectly
clear mental knowledge of what they
are doing, of the legal penalties for
their acts, and of how others regard
them, but yet they are incapable of re-
straint, remorse or shame Their ex-
istcnee enables one to understand how
reasonable once seemed the universe!

eating report, in which he points ont
that word deafnegs" and word blind
ness'' are two remarkable defects found
among the school children, says tho
Commoner. This officer recommends
the creation Of special schools for de-
fectiye children where speech OF a
normal kind IL taught and where clear
articulation Is insisted on The Lon
don correspondent for the Chicago In
ter, Ocean quotes from this ofHcers re-
port - follows: ITO a considerable
number Of children reading and writing
beyond the most rudimentary attempts
seem almost impossible Of acquire
meEt. Many OF these have marked
mental feebleness; others seem scarce
ly amiss In many respects. The want
Of literary ability is probably more
general than Is supposed. There arc
many cases Of inability to recognize
wGrds or to spell anything like the
words dictated, while at the same time
the child has fair to good faculties in
other respects, such as mental arith-
metic.'

In his remarks the Minister of Ma
rine said it had been manifest to every
observer that Russia had constantly
increased her strength in the Far East
and that had Japan not purchased the
cruisers Nishin and Kasaga from Ar
gentine. her naval strength would have
been below that of Russia.
Referring to the result of the work
of Vice Admiral Togo and his
fleet, NJ. Yamamoto said that to block
a post successfully the blockader must
be at least twice as strong as the de-
tenders of the port. He said the latest
reports showed that the Russians had
four battleships, five cruisers and ten
torpedo boat destroyers afioat at this
time, from which it must be concluded
that the work of repairing at Port Ar
thur was being carried forward eff
GENTLY The latest attack on Port Ar
thur had enabled the Japanese to OBJ
serve the actual strength of the enemy.
Continuing the Minister of Marine
said that while he hoped for a speedy
termination of the war, he must warn
the members of the House not to be
over SangIine.

IL Looks Like Parker, Says Senator
Latimer of south Carolina.
Columbia, S. c., March 25.-While
waiting on train connections at Green
wood yesterday, Senator A. C. Latimer
gave out an interview regarding the
Democratic presidential nomination.
When asked as to the probable candi-
date, he said: "It looks now like Par
ker or German. Personally I am for
German, but the Maryland senator has
unquestionably weakened himself by
his fight on the Panama canal. 1t
will be Parker or some good Eastern
man.
while Grover Cleveland would poll
more votes possibly than any other
man in the East, yet he will not do.
am not for him, but he would be
better than Roosevelt. Roosevelt is a
dangerous man, unsafe, liable to pre-
cipitate us into trouble at any time"
How about Hearst?
"Oh. Hearst is not the man. Why.
he is only a fgurehead in Congress-
has plenty of money and hires bright
men to write for his newspapers. When
invited to make a speech he always
sends a letter No; Hearst is not the
man at all"
