In the summer OF 1893 Alexandria
fell into Napoleon's hands. and he set
to work to make the coast secure. One
August day, in 1899. it chaneed that
one of his engineer officers, Andre
Boussard, was directing the digging
operations for new fort between the
town of Rosetta and the sea, when
the picks Of the sappers struck a
black slab of basalt, 45 inches long,
which was observed to be covered
with three differe7t styles of writing,
of which the last was obviously
Greek. When this stone was carried
up the Nile to Cairo, and shown to
Napoleon and his savants, the value
Of it was recognized at a glance.
While it lay in readiness to be con-
veyed to Paris, a British force made
its way to Egypt, laid siege to Aiox-
andria, and captured the city In 1901.
In the treaty of capitulation the VIC
tors insisted upon the delivery OF AL
the monuments collected, and among
them the slab, which was known as
the Rosetta stone. This had been
chosen by the yanquished Gen. Me-
nou as his own, and was carefully
wrapped in cloth and mating at hA
house in Alexandria. Hither one dag
Turner was sent by his chief with a
detachment of men, who carted 1t
away, amid the jeers of the French
officers, and put it aboard a frigate,
whereon the colonel conveyed it with
care to the Thames. Thus, one March
day in 1903 the relic reached London

Yesterday she said she went to the cemetery to place some flowers on the grave of their dead child and returning her husband met her at the place indicated and there was a heated dialogue at the con- clusion of which he struck her in the face from which wounds she bled pro- fusely. She said an American inter fered and told the man if he wanted to strike anybody to nit him but by that time his passion had spent itself and he refused to take up the challenge while she came directly to the police station.
 The police have known of their trOu- ble for year or more and have on various occasions warned the man that whatever his provocation he must not attempt to beat his wife or he would surely get into trouble. He told them that she was not a good woman and that he had just cause for complaint Of her conduct, though so far as the of ficers are aware, her life has been above evil report except as circulated by her husband.

FAMILY EPISODE
It Has Finally Found its Way Into
 Police Court.

Manuel NillanueVa was arrested yes- terday afternoon by Policeman Moore. on complaint made by Mrs. Viilanueva that her husband had assaulted her on West Washington street near Sixth avenue as she alighted from a street car. The story of the woman is pitiful one and if its truthfulness shall be established in court this after noon there is no penalty within the provisions of the ordinances too severe for the offender. He was placed under bond to appear at f o'clock before the recorder.
 Mrs. Villanueva came to the police station in tears, accompanied by a little son. The mothers face was bleeding and her dress in front was stained from the wounds of her battered face. She said that for a year or so her husband had been treating her cruelty, abusing her. choking her and often when she tried to go for help he would lock the door so she could not leave. She said he applied all sorts of paths and hu- initiating epithets to her and it was common thing for him to come home in the evening and spend the fore part of the night abusing her and cursinE ner, then leave the house for the re- mainder of the night She said she had been a good wife to him and was will ing to leave the story of her troubles to the testimony of their neighbors who had witnessed his disgraceful conduct.

Great Britain in the Boer war in that both nations were forced to transport men and supplies a distance of several thousand miles, one by railroad and the ether by steamers. Another point of similarity is that the cost to both was greatly increased by reason of unpreparedness for war. If Great Britain had been as ready to fight the Boers as Japan was to encounter the Russians the South African war would probably have terminated in less than a year. It is true that the British were hampered by political interfer- ence at home. a condition with which the Japanese did not have to contend, but when all is said and done the fact remains that preparedness was one of the greatest factors in bringing about ultimate Japanese victory and that the British in their struggle with two po- HticalIy insignificant republics would have fared much better if they had been ready, even though they had to contend with criticism at home.
 The resources of Russia are greater than those of Japan, but the mikado's empire can far better stand the bur den of military expense than can that of the czar. Japan has secured tan gible assets to balance her expendi- lures, while Russia has lost not only money, but prestige, territory and a splendid navy besides. To her the cost of war can never be expressed in terms of money, for money is really the .--.-.II-.t .,a..t -f tI.o rricn mid

Collapse of the South Carolina DIs-
 pensary System.

When South Carolina undertook to put into effect a modified form of the state dispenssry system, predictions were freely made that it would prove a failure.
 I. was pointed out at that time that one of the essential features of the method of a state monopoly of the Ii- quor traffic calculated to do away with the worst evils of the open saloon, was the removal of effort to secure a profit.
 In the Gothenburg system, as it is called, the liquor seller is the salaried agent of the state, employed at a fixed compensation to sell intoXicants to those that desire them, and there is no incentive of any kind for the agent to increase his sales or to promote his business.
 But the South Carolina system of state dispensaries was quite different. There the state agency was made a source of profit, both to the school fund of the state and to the selling agent Thus the position of the dis pensing agent became a desirable one and recent disclosures show that in one instance the sum of $2T5 and a gold watch were paid to secure the position of dispenser at SpartansbUrg. The wholesale liquor dealers and man ufacturers boomed their own candi- dates for dispensary positions and in many cases furnished the campaign funds. There was a sharp competition to control the state dispensary board which distributed the stock to the dispensaries-
 Thus the dispensaries became the instruments of a powerful political machine. as well as the centers of graft. In a recent number the South Carolina State, a representative daily newspaper, declared: ''The dispensary stands alone, unrivalled; the worlds matchless grating machine"
 The South Carolina system has been on trial now for more than twelve years, and it is such a failure that there seems to be but little doubt that it will be abandoned. It does not ap- pear. however, that there is any gen eraI disposition to try the prOftless dispensary system, but the fight will be between prohibition and the sa-

What the War Cost.

It will be a long time before either Japan or Russia can accurately deter mine the cost of the war just ended, but both governments have before now estimated their expenditures with a reasonable degree of precision. The outside world will continue for awhile to rely on the best guesses obtainable on this subject, just as it has had to do with regard to so many other things pertaining to the conflict.
 The London Statist, a journal of high repute which possesses an inti- mate knowledge of international finances, has published it's estimate of the cost of the war. It places Japan's expenditure at S1,OO0, ,OOO,O 900, classified as direct expenditures and items con- tingent on the final settlement of the war. Under the first head come do- nestle war loans of s25O, 100000, for eign loans of $41O,OOO, ,OOO, and special war taxes of S1O7. .OOO, 900. The total Of these items, $767OOO,OO is charge able directly to the war. Under the head of indirect expenditures are in CIuded the cost of preparation, the cost of bringing the army back home, and of the general readjustment to normal conditions, which the Statist believes will bring the cost up to a total of $1,OOO,OOO,GOO
 The cost to Russia is estimated at s1,5OO,OOO,OOO. based on the estimate of s2.5oO,OOO, a day. This is more of a guess than an estimate. for in Russia there is no parliament which passes on the governments accounts, and it is not easy for outsiders to secure even approximately exact information.
 The cost of the South African war to Great Britain was s1,15O, O,OOO,0OO so it is apparent that the Japanese ac- compIished a vastly greater feat than did the English at less cost. There is

"Insane Chatter"

A high insurance official. addressing a convention of life underwriters at Hartford the other day, said: Tt seems to me time that something should be said as against the insane chatter of the hour. I do not apolo- gize for anything done nor defend any person involved, when I say that there is no more reason to conclude that life insurance is unsound because of the recent revelations, than there was to conclude that all the national banks were rotten because Milwaukee bank was lately footed by it's president"
 There is no doubt that some of the chatter" has been insane" But great deal of it has been sensible, wholesome and necessary. The result, let US hope, will be to dig out and cast away the greater part Of the ras- cality and wastefuIness which have crept into the administration of life insurance affairs. The following apt illustration of the situation is brought forward by the Washington Star:
 When a railroad train is wrecked through the bIundering of operatives or the parsimony of corporations the public sets up a cry for reform. The air is filled with insane chatter" de manding double tracks, block signals, automatic cut-offs, and other safe guards. But there is no demand for the abolition of railroads. The people continue to believe in them and to use them.
 Likewise, the people believe in and continue to buy life insurance. We are told that Governor Vardaman fmpet- uously threw up a policy on which he had made one payment, because some body told him the company was about to go to pieces. He found out that this was untrue, and was sorry. If he is wise he will take out another policy. This was a case in which the chatter might properly be called in sane
 But there is not nor is there any reason why there should be- a general loss of confidence in the soIvency of the solid companies. The people of ten demand reforms in a national or state administration without the slightest idea that our system of gov ernment is unsound, and they make a great chatter over it. That is the only way to preserve the integrity of our institutions. The insurance busi- ness is not under fire. An outcry is being raised against the wrongdoings of those having it in charge Not all of the accusations are true. But too may of them are founded on fact, and great good will be accomplished by the exposures in a puri1cation Of methods and a more effective care for
