under existing circumstances 1t would
be practically impossible to enforce the
decree of the Pope ordering a restora-

services, the abolition of so-called op-

A cowboy from the Western plains
fell upon misery and unutterable woe
at Hampstead, L. l.. the other day.
For years the cowboy had ridden and
mastered the widest mustangs and
bronchos on a dozen ranches. He was
certain that he could straddle and ride
anything that went on four legs. 1t
was, therefore, with perfect confidence
that he mounted a polo pony at Hemp
stead. 1t was one Of those ponies that
the rich tenderfeet play with, and that
real horsemen from the plains look
upon with mingled pity and contempt.
But the Long Island polo pony was
too much for the cowboy. Not only
was the man from the West unseated,
but he was thrown heavily to the
ground and dragged by a stirrup leath-
er for nearly half a mile. That cow
boy will probably never dare show his
face out West again

A great conclave of women's clubs
is toe be held in st. Louis on May II
next. at which time prominent club
women from all parts of the United
States will make addresses. One of
those who had been invited to speak is
Mrs. Mary G. Coulter of Utah, who has
a reputation as an orator and essay
list. But 1t has come to the knowledge
of some of the leading officers of the
clubs that Mrs. Coulter supported
Reed Smoot in the last election. For
this reason she has been dropped from
the roll of speakers. Mrs. Coulter is
not a Mormon nor does she defend
Mormonism. Her address was to have
been on a subject in no wise connect
ed with Mormonism. But because she
worked for Shoots election to the
Senate her name has been blue-pencil-
ed. Thus does the great principle of
free speech obtain in this country of
ours.

ing to it. If the bureaucrats and the reformers are to be alternately In the saddle the government may be hurried to destruction. Analogies are danger. ous. and it would be as easy to find points of difference as points of resem- blance between the situation in Russia to-day and the situation In France to ward the end of the eighteenth century. There Is no such force of public opinion in the Czar's doninions as there was in those of Louis XVII but there are similarities between the two men which suggest an unpleasant parallel. Louis was a .well-meaning man, honestly anxious to do his duty. But he had no conception of the larger issues of state craft, he was easily influenced by his surroundings. and he trusted himself to neither side. Thus his very attempts at reform were worse than futile, and only hastened the great dehacle in which he lost both crown and life. The waver- ing War may escape a similar fate, but that will be because he rules a dif- ferent people, Providence Journal.

Count Reuntlow, who is recognized in Germany as great naval author, delivered lecture recently in Berlin on tGreat Britain and the German Navy,n in the course of which he said that Great Britain could still claim to be Mistress of the Seas" The naval power of France, Italy and Russia had decreased and Great Britain was now so strong that she could easily face two, or even three opponents simultaneously. Germany could at present only send thirteen battleships to sea; and of this number only two could claim to be completely efficient, Great Britain, on the other hand, could Immediately send out fortyone battleships independent of the Mediterranean fleet. Tn view of these figures, he declared that Great Britain's suspicious of Gernany's naval ambitions were ridiculous. and that Great Britain had no, reason to object to the further development of the Ger man navy. Tn any case" concluded Count Reuntlow, we must rapidly in crease our navy without paying atten- tion to Great Britain. By pursuing an energetic naval policy we may eventu- ally secure allies. At present we are isolated from a naval point of view, while Great Britain is endeayoring to cultivate closer relations with Russia in order to leave Us still more isolated in the future,p
 The count may lecture, and others may lecture. but the indications are that Britannia will continue to rule the wave until the. United States takes a notion to.

 The interesting question is raised, Can a woman De divorced from two husbands at once? This is question which the Omaha courts are called on to settle for Mrs. Mary c. Bennett. an Omaha woman who wants to be a widow with the aid of the law, in order to secure a pension from the govern ment. Mrs. Bennett's first husband was killed In the civil war. Subsequent ly she married Josiah Martin, who later deserted her. Mrs. Bennett filed suit for divorce against both Martin and Bennett, alleging assertion, and asked that she be made the legal widow of the Union soldier in order that she might secure a pension. The two di- vorces are asked for in the same peti- ton.
 We hope Sister Bennett will come out all right. She ought to have just as many diyorces as she wants and just the kind of divorces she wants. So had any woman who has feelings.

The Bureau of Forestry is trying to find means Of extending this time. A successful pre- servative treatment has been devised.

All IAGuAS " SdNC@lM tANlEEAChA RAAOus% To Editor of the Journal and Courier: MI. Bayne's article entitled Save the American Bison appeals to the writer. We believe iii the survival of the fit test" Shall We suffer pests and let the buffalo perish? Having once seen a magnificent specimen of the American bison in Central Park, it burst upon us that no lion In all his majesty was ever arrayed like one of these. Such mag nificence in head and neck no bull of Bashan or Connecticut ever boasted. And the race was all but externinated by bipeds who wanted to keep their feet warm in sleighs in the winter. The writer can remember when a buffalo robe could be found In almost any old barn corner.

AN RNG GLIsH c GENTLEMAN.

:
 Although it has been decided in Eng land that schooimaster is not gen .tleman, they seem to have . rather cor rect notion in a London court as to what gantlemanly conduct is. Tn that court A. D. Craven, a cousin of the Earl Of Craven, has just been sentenced to twenty-one days in jail for a brutal assault on fellow passenger on train. The latter while entering crowded car bumped against MT. Crayen's knee with his gripsack. Mir. Craven offen- sively demanded an apology, and upon receiving a refusal struck the plaintiff in the face. Mr. Craven then loudly proclaimed himself "a gentleman whose name would be found In Debrett and a cousin of the Earl of Craven The plaintiff declared that MT. Crayen's conduct was not that of a gentleman, whereupon MT. Craven dealt him a vio- lent blow on the nose, drawing blood .profusely The magistrate, in sending MT. Craven to jail, characterized the assault as most unjustifable and most blaclzguardly, for which fine was quito inadequate.
 If Mr. Craven can get any satisfac- tion in such circumstances out of being gentleman it will support him in a trying hour. And he seems to be the kind of gentleman that would be able tn. E399E.E l...EIL ~ .Ha Y Y +.t-

the butt, thus insuring the carrying of the antisepties beyond the zone of de- cay attack. The telegraph companies have made little use Of preservatiye treatment. They employ millions of poles on their various lines, and it would be a tremendous economy to add even a few years of service to the life -of each pole. There will be another large saving, both to them and to the forests. through preservatiYe treat ment. To provide a good margin against decay poles are now much lar ger than demanded by the strain upon them. It is expected that decay will quickly eat away furrow around the pole-at the ground line, and the diame- ter of the pole at that point IS gauged to allow for this weakening process. When it is known that decay, in cer- tain number of years, cuts the diameter from perhaps twelve to eight inches, and that below eight Inches the weak ened pole falls, the course to be pur- sued is obvious. Antiseptics prevent, for the time of their effectiveness. the starting of decay, and thus permit at the outset the selection of an eight-inch diameter rather than twelve-inch. The four inches saved represent a tre- mendous difference in the size and age of trees used for poles
 This is good work, and Illustrates the usefulness of scientife forestry.
