The Secretaryship Of War.
(Eew York Times.)


Mr.. Roots administration of the War
Department is a striking confirmation
of DIR. Johnsons theory that genius is
great general ability, accidentally d.
rected to a particular pursuit" Par
ticu!arly it is Il combination of what has
been the current theory of the military
profession. that the Secretary Of War
should be a professional soldier. in or
der fairly to represent and to meet the
needs Of the army. In our servic" this
theory may have arisen from an army
tradition, which survived the Civil! War.
and which some old mustache" may
even up to the time Of Mr.. Roots access
sion have been overheard to repeat. that
jefferson Davis was 1.-The best Secretary
Of War we ever had" he having had
the advantages of being West Point
err and of having commanded a regl-
ment of volunteers during the Mexican
war. Mr.. Roots administration has
made an end of that particular super
stition. For, acceptable as it has been
to the general public. it has been pc
culiarly and enthusiastically accepta-

What Texas Wants.
Galveston News.)
The time for change has come. We
want fewer professional lawmakers,
however honorable they may be. We
want fewer men who are eager to I'M
dertake legislation of the experimental
kind. We want fewer partisans in the
business. We want fewer lawmakers
who do not know beforehand whether
a bill is in conflict with the constitu-
ton or with other laws. Wei want few
or n-chance men. with clients to
represent before legislative bodies. We
want fewer and stronger men in our
legislative bodies. We want less delay
and failure in the courts, and less
campaign politics in the court houses.
We want peace officers who can afford
to do their duty and who will dare to do
it, even when the mob runs up into the
thousands and the prospective victim
is Il vicious negro. We want to Quit
our foolishness.
Perpetual Youth.
philadelphia Ledger)
The search for the fountain of youth
has not been abandoned, as the numer-
Gus dietary experiments abundantly at
test. Science is the modern Ponce de
Leon. The era of strictly scientific liv-
ing for the most Of us has not dawned,
and is afar off. but may we not hope
that the time is coming when the most
casual caller at the lunch counter will
order as many grams of protein. fat,
carbohydrates and the rest as his phys
ical or intellectual necessities seem to
require? The man who is about to
produce an epic will see to it that his
bill of fare contains the requisite
amount of nitrogen and phosphorus,
and that he secures n sufficient number
of calories of heat value daily. The
strictly scientific dietarian. we are as
sured. is a hopeful candidate for long
evity. though there is some confusion
among the experts on this important
point.

some time Tuesday night. The first
intimation that any one had Of the aw-
iul occurrence was when the dead
mans wife went into his room yester-
Cay morning to awaken him. He had
tten in i'll health for several years and
lately was despondent. Mrs. Maltry
found him with a heavy string around
lis neck in which was piece OF wood.
He had strangled himself by twisting
the wood around in the string after
the manner in which a physician
twists an improvised tourniquet in or
der to check the flow of blood from
severed artery. Coroner Green was
summoned and called in Drs. S. B.
Fishburne and John H. Burkhalter.
There was no necessity to hold an in
qnest. the coroner SO considered. as
the evidences OF the manner in which
the deceased met his death were so ap-
narcnt. Maltry had at one time a
good business and seemed happy and
prosperous. He had. it is said. lately
been on bad terms with former friends.
Hc had but one barber At the time OF
his death. It is surmiSed. although
this is merely rumor. that certain re-
cent occurrences made the dead man

Wires Down And Communication Cut
Off From New York
THE MOST EXTENSIVE SINCE 1885
New York's Isolation Almost as Com.
plete Yet as During the Storm-Va-
rious Ingenious Arrangements Made,
Baltimore Communicating With
Washington by Way Of Chicago
Operations in Wall Street Sadly Cur
taiIed-The Wet Snow Responsible
For Most Of the Damage.

New York, Special.-That the ef-
fects Of yesterdays storm were more
far eaching than in any similar dis
turbances since the blizzard OF 1888
became evident today when the dis
arrangement Of wire communication
continued almost as complete as at
any time during the height of the
storm. Up to 10 o'clock many points
were completely isolated, while whole
sections were reached only by most
circuitous routes. To the West, tho
only points having direct communi-
cation with New York we're Phiiadei'
phia and Baltimore. The Associated
Press, however, had succeeded IN
reaching the West, and incidentally
many Eastern points, by means OF .
telephone wire between Baltimore
and Chicago. The news carried over
the .egr lar wires between New York
ats Bali when it reached the
latter city, was transferred a distance
~ ten blocks to the telephone ofice
by calls, was then forwarded by teie-
prauh to Chicago over long distance
telephone wire and from Chicago was
telesraphed back to Washington anu
other cities which could not be reach
ed over the regular routes.
The same plan was followed In
MANY other cases. For instance, the
Associated press regular New YORK
State Circuit. network OF wires con-
Meeting ali the principal cities OF the
StaCe, was practically out OF service
for a long time. Newberg, to the
north, marked the end Of the circuit.
points beyond being completely cut
or. Finally, however, a temporary
circuit was set up by forming o. con.
rect!ns link between Cleveland ana
Buffalo. From Buffalo the report
was relayed down the State as far
az Utica. At that point, however.
wire paralysis was again encounter
ed. leaving Amsterdam, Schenectady
Albany and Troy completely cut on
from the outside world. The oniy
reports received from that section OF
the State today came by train from
Albany. Four inches Of wet snow nad
broken down telephone, telegraph,
electric light and fire alarm wires In
Albany and vicinity and badly nam
pered street car and train service.
While the effect Of the storm was
not so severe in New England, some
pointe in that section felt the fuii
force OF the gale. Wires were down
in all parts of Maine. Some points
on Cape Cod could not be reached
by wire early In the day, and Pits
field, In the Berkshires, was cut on
entirely from both New York ana
Boston.
Wire service to many points IN
Eastern Canada, which was swept by
the storm, was also disabled.
