THE TRAGEDY'S LAST ACT.

The final act Of the Rose tragedy was
enacted this morning. The deliberate
assassin met his doom with determined
bravado, so long boys was his last
remark, He kept up his defiant yet in
different demeanor to the last He dld
not want TO live. nor did he care what
became Of his dead body. He was a
hardened criminal, not insane or
Crazy In the usual acceptatlon OF the
terms, but a degenerate, acting with a
common understanding OF his deeds
and their probable consequences He
chose to do evil and pursued lawless
course through many years, having no
regard for the right aud no cOrscien-
tious scruples against wrong. lie was
fatallst too, holding that all things are
predestlned. He claimed that he was
"fated" to kill his wife and fated to die
for the murder on such a being pity
Is wasted He has rcaped that which
he sowed In mortality he will receive
other due compensation IN eternity He
is now In The hands Of the Supreme
Judge, the embodiment Of the eternal
principles Of Justice mercy aud truth,
in whom there IL no error and who will
do that which is right with all His
creatures, The curtain should now
drop on this sad and gruesome drama.
No good can come ofkeeping up that
notorlety which the murderer crayed
while living, and which can do him no
service now he is dead, Society is we'll
rid of such dcpraved member and the
extreme penalty Of the law was prop
erly and wisely executed In his case,
Sheriff Emery and Warden Pratt, with
their aids, could not have improved
upon their efficient yet unpleasant work
The earthly finale OF the horror is well
come.

THE FAMILY IDEAL.

A western contemporary emphatlcally
denies that there Is tendency among
the people OF this country to restrict
the size OF families, II quotes the case
Of we'll known public men who are the
fathers of eight children, or more, and
says IN substance that they are hon-
ored and respected for 1t.
Hut that is not the point 1t Is use
less as an argument, The cases re-
ferred TO may be among the exceptions
that prove the rule.
Here is another picture, A leading
educator Of the country Is recently re-
ported as having said in q public lee
turc to medical students, that ten
children are too many In one family
especially when the parents are poor"
He evidently believes in limiting fami-
lies according to financial circum-
stances, And this doctrine SO far from
arousng a universal storm ot protest,
ELECTED the remark by widely read pa
pers, that there is no doubt that Or,
Andrews voices the domestic philosophy
Of a good many American families, and
there Is some reason In his argument"
That certainly seems to prove the con-
tcntlon that a criminal tendency In the
direction referred to- exists.
But further Is It any secret that In
the larger cities especially, families are
rejected as renters Of houses because
they have too many children" In
large houses with costly suits Of rooms,
II IS not uncommon to find dozens Of
families with no children at an,

prevailing, It certainly Is very fan
from the ancient standard, when chill

blessing ob;anable in this lie.

gyman, perceiyng the breakers towards

Verestchagin has been pleased TO call
himself realist He was that, no
doubt, but he was something more. We
would not be going beyond the line OF
justinable criticism II we called him a
great tragic poet, His pictures of the
Russo Turkish war filled the world with
emotions of horror and pity Who that
saw them can forget his CHASTITY, heart
rendlng paintings of the field hospital
before Pleyna, or the frozen sentinel IN
the snow-shrouded Shipka Pass? He
took the isolated incident and erected II
into the typical and representative fact
Of history. He felt, and made the world
Of modern men and women feel with
him. the profound pathetic significance
Of the individuals peril and pain In It's
relation to the so-called interests OF
government. TO do this was 20 bring
home a great ethical lesson, which can
be summed up In the simple dernonstro-
tion that the loss and suiferngs Of the
nameless thousands Of victims, heroes
as well as martyrs OF the military
ideal, have no logical bearing upon the
ambitions Of rulers or the national
self-consciousness which Is embodied
In land-grabbng ana the mad egotsm
OF conquest.

stchagin He was In a sense a great
reporter, who recorded his experiences
and Impressions with brush instead Of
pen and who gave the world more vivid
pictures OF war and its horrors than
any correspondent Of them all. There
was something almost morbid In his
pursuit and treatment of materials 1t
Is perhaps fortunate that no man can
see more than small part OF any
battle field, yet in looking at any one Of
score of the late artists pictures one
sees concentrated on the canvas all the
horrors Of battle which ragged over

was early made manifest. While yet
In his teens he painted the picture Of a
slaughter, that Of Penelope's suitors,
and from that time on lost no occa'
sion to witness and reproduce the scenes
OF war by land and sea. He twice
visited this country and used as themes
the exploits Of American soldiers in
Cuba and the Philippines, though 1t
cannot be said that these added to his
fame.

A MASS OF MENDACITY.

Among the numerous illusions from
persons who think they know all about
"Mormonlsm." because they have read
some of those ridiculous burlesques that
are published to feed sensational appe-
tiles. is one that appeared recently in
the London, England Record and Mall.
IL Is signed \. NJ, but the letters can
not surely have their usual slgnldca-
ton. As a sample OF the rest Of the
sun, a fun column Of which has found
place in a reputable public journal,
we clip this opening paragraph
"Tho creduity Of the human race has
always been incredible, but there are
not many more astonishing things IN
history than the triumph OF q peddlcr
who came home one night to say that
an angel from heaven mad put a new
Bible into hle hand. To'thls day three
hundred thousand people IN the world
believe him, have founded cities and
buIlt temples In his name, and have re-
Nsed tho divinitIes so that Adam OF
Genesis is the FIRST with four others In
this order--"Chrlst, Mahomet. Joseph
Smith and Brigham Young"
We need add no more. A person who
knows no better than to pen such ar
rant nonsensc,as an exposition OF Nor
monism," Is unfit to treat on the sub.
Jcct at all And we wonder why so re.
spectacle a paper as the London Mail
has given It place in It's columns, Il
is useless TO give II further notice. All
It contains has been replied to time
and again, and It's display Of Ignorance
Of American affairs Is equal to Its mall
ice and malIgnlty about "MormonIsm."

assninity.

DEATH OF vfRRsrcnAGIs
Los Angeles Express.

In the tragic death OF Vasslli Vere-
stchagin, the eminent Russian painter,
who went down with the Inflated
Petropavlovsk, Vice Admiral Makaroif' s
flagship, off Port Arthur, the artistic
world has suffered great loss. Vere-
stchagln was well-known In this coun-
try having exhibited his realistic war
pictures In New York and Chicago
many times. lie was In the latter city
less than year ago with his paint
ings, which attracted much attention
owing 10 their fearful depletion OF the
brutal horrors Of war. The artist has
had an eventful career several times
rsking his life In the search for copy
for his brush, In the Cuban war he
was with the American army OF occu-
patton, and one of his best known
works in this country is the charge W
San Juan hill, showing Colonel Roose-
welt leading his Rough Riders. There
was a grim unity in the manner he
met his fate.

The artist was In Japan for some time
before the war. and tried TO prevail
upon the government to avoid a strug.
gle with Russia. lie threw up his hands
finally, and said with regret that the
Japanese were war crazy and could not
be reasoned with, and that there was
no limit to their confidence In them
selves "They think, said the painter,
that they could march on ST. Peters
burg or Moscow, brushing opposition
aside, az easily as they could reduce
Port Arthur or capture Hardin"
