Sewing Lessons for BOYS.

II there is talk of instructing the
boys in the higher grades of the Newark public
schools in the art of sewing" said a bachelor
''Some folks may think this sort of instruction a
waste of time but / am heartily in favor of it.
/ think every boy ought be taught to use a
needle. 1t is bound to IN handy at some
time in his lifetime, even if he does take e
wife.
Every unmarried man has his troubles with
loose buttons. not to mention occasional rents
in his clothing. How much better il would be If
every bachelor could ply a needle at such times
without pricking his fingers. Think how 1t would
lessen the work Of the recording angel and how
many men could join the anti-profanity
league.
Most folks seem to think when a man other
than tailor begins to handle needle he tackles
a Job that is away above him. They imagine it's
a great joke. Take two OF the plays now run

BANK wRECKERs SHOULD BE
PUNISHED.

The trial of the officers of the wrecked
Indiana National Bank, at Elkhart, has
probably attracted more attention and pub
lie interest than any similar trial that has
occurred in the State. IL had all the ele-
ments of a sensational trial to begin with.
and as ii progressed it developed some un-
usually dramatic situations. These cul-
minated, after the trial had been in progress
more than a week, in the withdrawal OF
the plea of not guilty by ]. L. Rrodrick.
president of the wrecked bank, and enter
ing plea of guilty.
This was very unusual occurrence, but
probably il was the best thing he could do.
Lawyers are willing to fight case where
there is any ground to stand on, but they
do not care 20 lead an absolutely forlorn
hope. In this instance the government had
was so overwhelming that it would have
been waste OF time for the defense to have
continued. 1t is doubtful if any national
bank case ever tried showed more different
kinds OF rascality practiced with more de-
fiance of the law than this one. 1t was an
attorney deserves credit for having mas
tered il so thoroughly and presented it's de-
tails in such a convincing way TO the jury.
In explanation of the defendants with
drawal of his plea of not guilty one of his
counsel said: THE government presented
such mass OF evidence on all counts, run
ming back over so many years, that it was
impossible for us to explain them
The same attorney who made the fore
going statement said: I'VE were at a great
disadvantage in being on trial in the Fed
eral instead of State court. In the Fed
conversions of funds at the bank were
embezzlements. We could have presented
a good case in the State courts" This
shows the superiority of federal law and
procedure in such cases over State. If the
defense was at a disadvantage because the
trial was in the Federal Court the public
was decidedly the gamer by it. The ma
tional bank law was framed to protect the
public. Its definitions of crime and its pen
alties for violations of the law are in
tended to close all loopholes of escape for
bank managers and officers who violate it.
and the federal courts administer the law
in that spirit. 1t would be we'll IL State
laws were construed and State courts con-
Quoted on the same rigid principles.
The punishment of bank wreckers may
not put any money in the pockets of their
creditors and victims. but they generally
desire to see the law sternly enforced and
are entitled to that much satisfaction. So
ciety also is entitled to it. Socialists and
fomenters of discomfort should not be given
an opportunity to say: Your laws are
made for the poor, not for the rich; you
punish a man who steals bread or coal for
his family. but the bank wreckers get of
scot-free.'' Deliberate bank wrecking in
wolves almost every kind of commercial
dishonesty, and national bank wrecking in
wolves violations of law which was not
made to be trified with.

There is a dispute among the scientists
whether the recent alleged earthquake in
New England was a real bona-fide seismic
disturbance or just local JOLT Professor
Jaggar, of Harvard, well-known geologist,
says that according to the best authorities
there is a recent deposit underlying the re-
gions of New York, and some parts, doubt
less, of New England, which is of glacial
origin and which frequently contains faults
or fractures. There is occasionally slight
motion or settling. A movement of frac-
tion of an inch in one of these fractures
might produce a perceptible jar on the
earth's surface. He thinks the recent
earthquake" merely means that by the
action of the frost after the winter, per-
haps from force accumulated through the
long winter and hitherto held in check by
the frost in the ground, some of these

THE JAPANESE STILL on THE AG-
GRESSIyE.

The report of the blocking up of the en-
trance TO Port Arthur harbor is repeated
with apparently better grounds for belief
than at any time heretofore. A dispatch
from Toxic states positively that the re-
suit was accomplished by the sinking of
several merchant ships during the bom-
bardment on the night of the 22d inst. and
that entrance to or exit from the harbor is
now completely blocked. The dispatch says
that full details are expected very soon.
Such an undertaking is a very perilous
one. and could only be justified by the i'm
portance of the results to be accomplished.
The Japanese have attempted it once before
with only partial success. In this case the
attempt was made under cover of a bonn
bardment by sixteen warships, which pro-
tected the merchant steamers while they
were into position and sunk by their
crews. 1t is said that 1900 Japanese off,
GERS and sailors volunteered for the perilous
work. and that the comparatively few who
were accepted were wild with JOY at their
preference. The incident illustrates Japan
ese courage and indifference to death,
though it must be admitted these qualities
are found also among other nationalities.
If the entrance to the harbor has been eff
fectually blocked two points will remain to
be demonstrated: first what effect this will
have on enabling the japanese to capture
Port Arthur, and second, whether the lat
ter would be of great value. If the Russian
squadron is bottled up in Port Arthur,
the blocking of the harbor would be a
victory in itself, because it would place
those ships out of the fighting. 1t would
also facilitate the landing of troops by
the japanese and increase the chances of
success by a land attack. In that case the
capture of Port Arthur would mean the
capture of the ships in the harbor
What effect the capture of Port Arthur
would have on the future conduct and out
come of the war would remain to be seen.
1t could be made by the Japanese an i'm
portant base both for naval and land op-
erations, provided she is able to carry the
war into Manchuria. but her ability to do
that would depend on other causes. There
is still strong probability that, by playing
a waiting game. and taking her time to
mass her forces, Russia may be able to
overwhem the japanese and drive them out
of both Manchuria and Korea. If 1t were
purely a naval war it would be almost won
by Japan already. but the fact that the
decisive battles are to be fought on land
gives her big antagonist great advantage.
