Love-,

There lives somewhere in the
depths of every human heart the
divine spark that we call love. 1t
is the voiced of the universe slum-
bering in it's narrow cell to be
awakened by a whisper or 10 cry
out in dear desire and hear the
echoing answer from another soul.
Without it life would be pale,
relentless episode. Without its
quiokening force no temples would
be reared by human hands, yet
novels wherein it dwells become
more glorious than palaces. Am
bition, Fame and Fortune are its
slaves; it chains the mind in sweet
imprisonment, makes Credulity a
guardian queen and lulls Suspic-
ion TO repose.
No censorship of Right or
Wrong can light the way of Love;
it walks in pathways all its own; it
laughs at Reason; dispels Despair.
1t is the lisping word of children,
the puzzle of philosophers, the
tailsman of rules 1t is the first
and last of life-murmured at the
cradle cherished at the grave 1t
is the rainbow after tears, the cure
for every SORROW the joyous i'm
pulse that rules the whole wide
world .-Wada Mnnntf, rtt

what ugly shoes she had on, but
she was too ill to get up and get

gone, and she thought SO much
more about her ugly shoes than
about her injuries that she soon
got over them, we mean over the
INJURIES.

German and American Theaters,

They certainly do some things better in
Europe than we do them here. For in
stance, here is just at hand evidence of the
way in which Germany regulates the the
aters in the matter of safeguarding the
lives of their patrons. Herr Herman Won
Possart is the theatrical censor for the
German government, and has come to
America to look over the ground to see If
he can pick up some suggestions in his
line of work. Judging from what he saws
of the regulations in regard to fire precau
lions. he has nothing to learn on that score.
He says:
After your Iroquois Theater fire in Chi
cago many changes were made, at my sug-
gestion and order. in the Berlin theaters.
I'm every Berlin theater a squad of fire.

the curtain goes up They inspect the cur

If anything is found wrong the curtain
cannot go up until it is made right. Nor
can play begin until the examination has
been made. The fremen remain until after
the last of the people have left the house."
In sharp contrast with that method comes
word that a Chicago court has issued an
injunction to prevent the municipal au-

pede. There is no doubt that the New
World has contributed it's quota of wonders
Kansas has done remarkably well in produc-
ing them, though the Kansas wonders have
not always been of a permanent character
Tammany has produced some wonderful
election methods and some states above
and below the Potomac river have produced
wonders in the way of counting votes
Georgia has produced a wonderful militia
company, Mississippi a wonderful govern
or, Maryland a wonderful ballot and Mr.
Taggart some wonderful forecasts.
But to New York must be accorded the
distinction of producing the wonder of WON

wonderful came to notice yesterday in the

Short-Weight Coal.

A Police Court case reported To-Day give
unwelcome assurance that short-Welsne coai
is being delivered to local consumers anu
gratifying evidence of activity on the part OIL
police in overhauling such offenders. In TINS
case the dealer forfeited 800, half OF tnat
sum for delivering a ''ton" of coal ~
pounds short in weight, and the other hall
for failing to send out weight ticket with
the load. This case ought to put every re-
taller in the city on his good behavior. the
consumer has no chance whatever to detect
shortage in coal weights. He has no scales
and must accept the dealers delivery on
faith 1t is the duty of the police to watch
and guard the interests of the people IN
this respect. Of course, it is impossible for
them to overhaul every driver and have his
load and wagon weighed on tested scales.
But frequent descents upon the delivery
carts will suffice to let the dealers know
that the authorities are on the alert. II the
retailers are thus persuaded that there IS
official activity they will not be likely to
run the risk of losing large sums for the
sake of saving few pounds of coal

Cuba.

The information which General Nunez,
the governor of Havana, brings about Cuba,
and especially the metropolis of the island,
is very welcome in this country. We are all
delighted to hear of Cuban prosperity. 1t Is
in fulillment of both wishes and our
expectations. Not many people in America
regard the war with Spain as a useless
scrimmage." They saw good reason for it
when it was declared, and they approve Of
it now. It's principal object was to put the
Cuban people in possession of their own;
and the faith was firm that they were
worthy of the service. To the extent, there
fore. that they are justifying conf
dence, by showing their capacity to admin
lister their affairs successfully. they in
crease our satisfaction with our record in
their behalf and strengthen the ties that
bind us to them.

wish to become involved In the case. hav
ing heard that witnesses in capital cases in
New York were often detained for. long
periods pending trial. But his conscience
will not allow him longer to remain silent
and he hopes to clear the accused woman
of a charge which he firmly believes to be
unfounded.
This Is a remarkable instance of delayed
conscience, but it is rendered even more
mysterious by further explanations given
by the tardy witness. He declares that in
September he decided to go to New York
and tell his story. He tried to see the wo-
man in prison, but was denied admission
without pass. Then he went to her law
yers, whose representative appeared to take
no interest in his story and stated that he
would have to get pass from some one
else. This treatment discouraged the old
man and he returned home without having
told his version of the killing. But his con-
science pricked him so that he finally de-
cided to go to headquarters, and yesterday
he told his story to the prosecuting officers
There are two features of this case that
call for explanation. Is the New YORK
method of treating witnesses so drastic
that the average citizen shrinks from per-
forming his duty whenever he chances to
see some unIOW3Tu OF CTiUIllidl IIdppelhhS.
If so. the sooner some measures of reform
are adopted the better for the community
1t is of course, desirable to safeguard the
interests of the state by preventing the dis
appearance of witnesses so far as possible,
but in a case of this kind a man who vol
unfairly offers his testimony ought to be
guaranteed his own freedom pending the
necessary trial. The burden placed upon
the witnesses should be lightened as much
as possible m order to encourage the giving
of the maximum of reliable testimony on
important issues.
Moreover an explanation is clearly due
from that one of the defendants lawyers
who is accused of refusing to accept the
possible chance which this witness gave TO
clear their client.

The Treaty With France.

A long step toward permanent peace with
international honor is taken every time
treaty is signed such as that negotialeu
yesterday by Secretary Hay and Amoassa-
dor Jusserand. 1t Is move TOWARD the
application Of business principles to the
conduct of relations between the great po-
litical powers of the world. 1t tends toward
the elimination of war as means OF set
thing disputes. This treaty provides for
the reference to arbitration of all differ
ences which may arise Of legal character
or relating to the Interpretation of existing
treaties, which cannot be settled by direct
negotiations through diplomatic channels
1t specifically excludes such differences as
affect vital interests, the independence or
honor of the two powers and such as con-
Germ the interest of third parties. Thus
the agreement is not all-inclusive. II
leaves a margin to cover cases In which
firmly established national policies come
into irreconcilable conflict.
The chances of the occurrence of such
conflicts grow less with each decade. Short
of policies of territorial aggression against
the rights Of Others or acts of blind
folly, backed by unbending govern
mental stubbornness, there are few
issues in the international relationship
winch Will uOC yIciU " Wise oiPioiH-
acy or to arbitration. The trend of world
sentiment today is against war as salts
factory method of settling disputes. Its
issue often depends upon fortuitous circum-
stances which have no relation whatever
to the merits of the controversy. The ma
lions of the world are closer together In
sentiment and understanding today than
ever before. There is less danger of mis-
conceptions of the rights of others. The
principles of international procedure, fur
thermore, are better defined. Diplomacy is
more direct and the body polite is better
informed as to the motives of governments
and the methods of advancing them.
The treaty with France is the second of
the kind to be negotiated by the United
States, that with England having failed of
ratification. 1t is to be hoped that renewed
efforts will be made to secure such agree
ments with all the powers. The United
States yields nothing in so doing, but mere
ly guarantees to the other government an
opportunity to place the issues that may
arise before a court, securing an equal
assurance in return. These treaties substi-
tute certainty of procedure for chance
methods They are in the line of more
business-like relationship between govern

A Tardy Witness.

Five months ago a man was killed In a
cab in the streets of New York while on
his way to take a steamer for Europe. In
the cab with him at the time was a woman
whose name had been closely associated
with his own for some time and from whom
he was then to separate The woman was
arrested charged with his murder, the mo-
tive alleged being her jealousy on the score
of his departure. She has steadfastiy de-
clared her innocence, but has been indicted
and is now In Jail In New York awaiting
trial.
Yesterday an elderly man went before the
district attorney of New York and made a
statement which, II true. clears the accused
woman of all responsibility for the crime.
He says that he saw the man in the cab
shoot himself and that the woman seemed
to be trying to prevent him. He was a

subway in the world. We shall have a
handsome revenge when Chicago opens her
underground tunnel and assumes and pre-
sumes, with a breezy grace, that she has
the only real subway in the universe. or
course we shall not expect her to recognize
our tubes and we shall be quite willing to
forgive her the slight because of the JOY
that will be ours in seeing her ignore New
York's underground road. We shall be
watching the New York folks wincing:
that will be fun enough for US.
