Man and Bear.

A news itel2 from Maryland tells
OF the death of a hunter snd guide
through the mischance of having
been mistaken for a bear. The vic
tim wore dark clothes and a cape.
This was considered as establishing a
sufficient resemblance 10 suggest the
use of him as a target. Yet it cannot
be said that the guide was incauuous.
He did not go crashing through the
underbrush on all fours. or grunt or
gnash his teeth From all the evil
dence al hand his dark apparel was
his only rashness- The bear has dark
. apparel, and the guide should have
Worn red, white. and blue. as a meas
ure Of safety The use Of the cape is
not 10 be censured. According 10 the
best authorities a bear does not wear
a cape
The only proper course for the
hunter incapable Of discerning points
Of difference between a man and a
bear is 10 use an airgun and confine
his powers Of destruction 10 the
und0ing Of the crow. He has no
right 10 go into the woods. full Of
fearsome shadows. and take a real
gun with him. II he makes the error
OF going so equipped. and swels the

guilty of homicide and offer idiocy as

There is no excuse for the hunter
who kills his comrade. In ninetv-
nine cases out Of a hundred such
deeds are the outcome Of criminal
earelessness. A very strange circum-
stance is thaF the amateur, who could
not hit bear, and in the presence OF
the animal would be TOO scared TO
shoot, never finches when he has a
human target. and fires with deadly
accuracy.

Criminal Trials.

For days, and perhaps for weeks
there will be no escape from evi-
dences of interest in the trial of Nan
Patterson. This matter has engaged
the attention of the public, and the
press will cater TO this interest. There
are many reasons, so palpable as not
TO need citation, why the trial should
be regarded as extraordinary.
Regardless of the merits of the
charge, it is instructive TO observe the
efforts of the lawyers. Without de-
string to misconsuue the conduct Of
these gentlemen, the fact is apparent
that one set of counsel is trying to
convict Miss Patterson even if she is
innocent. and the opposition max
ing as strenuous an effort to acquit
her even if she is guilty In other
words, the purpose is not to bring out
the whole truth. but only that part
OF it which can be utilized for one or
the other of these ends. To the lay
mind it seems that such procedure is
in contravention of the spirit of law,
although the law is continually in
voked TO maintain it.
As an illustration may be mention
ed that a doctor was on the stand.
He was asked if he had seen on the
hands of the defendant Immediately
after the shooting anything to indi-
cate gunpowder marks. If such marks
had been there the inference to have
been drawn from their presence would
have been damaging. But If they
were there. denial of the right of an
expert witness to answer yes" or
no is so hard TO understand that
the observer does not make any pre-
tense of understanding.
There is no public i'll will against
the Patterson woman. Indeed, the
course of the State preliminary TO the
opening of the trial. had a tendency
10 create sympathy for her The
feeling is general that she was en-
titled 10 an earlier hearing, and that
the stupidity of the prosecutor in
permitting an important witness TO
escape, should not have been visited
upon the prisoner, Yet if the pris-
oner is guilty, 10 permit her to evade
the penalty would not suit the public
Judgment. The popular demand is
not FOR show Of technical quibbling
OF lot OF arucuiated bones. but for
fair play And efforts TO prevent fair
play, no matter from which side they
come. viii excite rebuke.

CUBAN HEALTH RECORD
BAD, BUT NOT 50 BAD
Complaints of Poor Sanitation Justified
and Smallpox in Some Parts-Re-
ports Exaggerated, However.

HAVANA. Nov. 25.-Commenting upon
the dispatches received here 10 the ef-
feet that the authorities at Washington
have warned the Cubs II government that
better attention must be paid 10 sani-
tatiou. the Discussion says that al
though the statements regarding sani-
tatiOn are exaggerated d. is an undoubt-
ed fact that sanitation in nearly all the
towns of the island is a such low
level that the public health Is in dan
ger.
The paper declares that this condition
Of affairs is blot on the republic ana
a shame 10 the Cuban people
-Four cases OF smallpox are reported
in the Santiago Jail. and there is an
other ease at Sagua, Province OF santa
Clara
Complaints about sanitation are most
pronounced in Camaguey and Santiago.
10 is generally admitted that the local
authorities of those places are most
negligent.
Many persons wish To hush up such
complaints. especially those selling land.

Cooperation in Baltimore.

/ AS Washington's nearest sister, Bal
/ timore and the affairs of her Giti-
zens have always been followed in
the Capital with sympathy and un-
derstanding. The several move
ments TO provide adequate sewerage,
the partial reformation of the city
| government, and the disheartening
/ disaster which overlook Baltimore
| several months ago were all noted
here with concern.
/ But nothing Baltimore has done
in late years has given her friends
III Washington the qualification oc-
casioned by the mayors present pur-
pose TO improve the whole city
through the cooperation of all those
organizations of its people which have
a special interest in the city's well
fare. The plan has been outlined in
these words:
Mayor Timanus has sent a circular
letter 10 thiFty-nine trades and other or
ganizations asking for the appointment
d - N0'LA4 VI q committee OF Lnree con-
Ter with each other and with a special
committee OF the city council as 10
the best method Of effecting COnterl-
plated improvements to the city.
These proposed improvements are mot
( Oily 10 the physical condition o. BaUi-
noFe-her streets. sewers, etc-but 10
her financial and commercial affairs.
or these thirty-nine associations called
I INTO consultation by the mayor 50 re
are general 10 the whole city some arr
local and are primarily for me better
ment or some particular oaIt of the
I CITY. BUT all OF them ar animated
coubtless by a sincere desire 10 prom d
Tie welfare of the city as a whoie.
The advantages of such a unified
movement are many. The needs of
every section will thus be fairly
stated. Many schemes OF improve
nent will doubtless be proposed. A
balance viii probably be struck which
will retain the greatest possible num-
Der OF good points. And each Of the
several bodies represented will be
made 10 appreciate the difficulties
which confront the city government
and the purpose of that government
10 do its very best.
There is something more than sis
terly interest in Washington's hope
that Mayor Timanus and his counsel
ors may carry this plan to practical
fulfillment. In the Capital there are
many such bodies as these, and they
have operated. up 10 this time. with
general disregard of each other The
city needs ROW their united strength
in order TO obtain many permanent
adyantages-a loan for extraordinary
expenditures; parks for the new sec
tions OF the city; improvements for
the whole suburban area; the recla-
nation Of the Potomac fats: new
bridges, more light. and better street
car service. If Baltimore succeeds
IL may easily be that Washington
will follow her example.
