Tt must strike Senator Burton as much more pleasant to get rich quick than to get convicted slowly" says the Chicago News. Senator Burton seems to have picked out a way not to get rich quick-or any other way, when carried through to it's legitimate end.

Night Caps Fashionable.

Special Cabiesram TO The Star.
LONDON, October 23.-Society has taken
to wearing night caps-not the old-fasn-
ioned kind, but exquisite creations of mus
lin and lace. elaborately trimmed with rib
bon. Countess Fabricotti, the famous So
ciety beauty. and one of the latest recruits
TO the ranks of titled milliners. is respon-
sible for the quaint revival. The countess
discovered for herself the becoming prom
critics of dainty little mob caps frlled with
lace and decorated with dainty ribbons
and now she is teaching her assistants how
to make night caps for her customers
THE revival OF the nightcap has been ex-
traordlnarily successful" said the countess
in an interview this week. when l first
introduced the little caps of lace a few
weeks ago never thought they would have
such vogue. or course the old style Of
nightcap was terribly unhygienic. but that
cannot be alleged against the little caps
that i make. for they are made entirely OF
lace or open netting. Young people as we'll
as old wear them. Indeed, have just got
an order for two dozen real lace nightcaps
for BRIDE"

Conference Of Catholic Society

LONDON, October 23.-The conference of
the Catholic Truth Society, held at Black
burn under the presidency of the bishop
of Stafford. has been attracting unusual at
tention this year. The question of social
ism was discussed by Mr.. C. 8. Devas Of
London. The speaker said that by social
ism he did not mean the aims of the an
archist. the communist or the dynamiter
who would resort to the use Of violence
but a scientific or moderate socialism
which would proceed by way of the ballot
box, and would strive that sooner or later
all capital. or means of production, or
sources of income should be transferred to
the hands of the state. The people of
Great Britain had no complaints against
the whole world. Looking outside, wher-
ever the Catholic Church was strong
force and simultaneously socialism was a
strong force. they saw the two in violent
antagonism.
They had only to cross to Belgium to see
them forming into two great parties in
great hostility. AT least half of the blame
of the persecution of the church in France
fell on the shoulders of the socialists. In
Germany strong government left off per-
scouting the church because In her they
recognized the only force that could with
stand socialism successfully. In Italy the
government, once bitterly anti-clerical. was
becoming eager for an alliance with the
church as shield against socialism. The
same antagonism was seen across the At
lantic. The remedy for evils which existed
at home was rather to be found in Chris
tan social reform, the protection of labor
and In the elevation of people by other
means than lndiscriminate collectiyism

Dominick's Loss of Memory.

From the Scranton Tribune.
Some months ago Dominick Malsonvitch.
who had been working in the mines of the
Lackawanna company, hurried to Europe
to bring over his wife and family and neg
lected to draw his pay. The other day he
returned, and. remembering the undrawn
money, made application for it. But, to the
amusement of the officials and his own con-
sternation, he could not remember the name
under which he had worked. There are few
foreigners who are known by their proper
names In the mines, for lhe reason that so
many of the names seem to be SO similar
that it is necessary to give them an English
name. Dominick may recall his former pay
roll title in time. In the meantime he Will
be known as Mike Smith. although for a
time he did think rather seriously of maxi
Ing It Mike Mitchell or Mike Roosevelt.

Athletics in English Schools.

from tne NATIONAL review.
In the upper classes of society the neces-
sity to be good at games is impressed upon
a boy from his earliest days at a private
school. I'VE do not care so much about his
work." says the foolish mother. when in
terviewing for the first time the school
master who Is to be fntrusted with her son s
education, but his father and 1 are most
anxious that he should be a good cricketer." /"
Her instructions are generally carried out
to the letter by the master, whose athletic
proficiency Is in most cases his principal
claim to be intrusted with the education of
small boys. On a perfectly prepared wicket,
under the guidance of a professional, the
boy is taught to play cricket with so much
seriousness that his recreation is made to
appear to him of more Importance than his
work His average, that fetish OF the mod
ern crlcketer, Is Of greater interest than his
lessons, not only to himself, but often also
to his parents. In this way, therefore an
absolutely false idea of the relative impor-
stilled into a boys mind from the very be-
ginning. This IS possibly not very harmful
at a private school, but 1t becomes more
and more dangerous as he grows older, be-
cause the same idea is allowed to prevail
throughout the whole of his subsequent ed
ucaNon. At our great public schools. un-
less boy eXcels In some form of athletics,
1t is very difficult for him to have any in
ffuence to attain to any social Importance
in the school. The majority of English boys
thus become imbued with the entirely false
idea, which generally clings to them
throughout life, that unless a man is good
at some form of sport he cannot be good
fellow. 1t is not surprising. therefore, that
athletic pre-eminence is the sole ambition
of almost every boy, at any rate, at the
more important public schools. The cap
tain of the cricket eleven and the captain
of the boats are, as general rule, the he
roes to be worshiped from as near as pos
sibe; whereas, the so-called captain of the
school, unless he is also an athlete. Is a
person of comparative unimportance.

LOOTED, THEN FIRED.
Destruction Of the Historic Ludlow
Home on Long Island.

An incendiary IRE yesterday morning de-
stroyed tie country residence of Capt. Fred
eric H. Busher, u. 8. A.. forming a part
OF the historic Ludlow estate, where Ad-
miral Dewey spent his honeymoon, at Oak
dale, L. I.
The flames attacked the mansion soon
after midnight. A stin wind was blowing,
and despite the utmost efforts Of the local
f1remen, the house was soon consumed. to-
gether with Its costly furniture and oil ror-
traits. mostly heirlooms in the Ludlow
family.
According to a statement made last night
by Mrs. Bugher, the mansion was first
looted and then burned to cover up the
robbery. She bases this statement on the
fact that no trace was found by her OF Ger
tain articles known to have been In the
house before the fire which the flames could
not have destroyed entirely. She estimated
her loss at $4,000.
Mrs Bugher was at the Oakdale home until
o'clock pm. last Saturday when she ieft
for New York, after having shipped por-
| ton of her household effects to New York
city, to be used in furnishing apartments
in which the Bughers are to reside tempo
rarily. They expect shortly to sail for Eu-
rope
Much of the heavy and costly old ma
hogany furniture, and the bric-a-brac. por-
traits and other treasures were left In the
Oakdale house. Mrs. Bugher said that when
she left there no fire many part OF the
house, and everything was in such shape
that 1t was impossible for a fire to have
started except by the hand of an ineendiary;
For several years the Ludlow homestead
has been occupied by the family of Rear
Admiral Ludlow who married Mrs Bugher,
mother of Capt. Bugher, and sister OF the
wife of Admiral Dewey. Portions of the
Ludlow homestead were over century old.
A week ago the residence of Bradlsh
Johnson. near Islip, was destroyed In the
same mysterious manner. So far there Is
no clue to the flrebug. and the other mem
bers of the fashionable colony are in state
OF great apprehension.

Value Of an Ernigrant.
rom the Saturday Review.

From the Saturday Review.
Old DIR. Farr the late superintendent of
statistics in the Office of the registrar gen.
eral, made an estimate of the money value
of man on the basis of the capitalized
value Of his probable net future earnings.
On the basis Of the agricultural laborer's
wages at that time he calculated that each
individual-man. woman and child-was on
an average worth about f110 to the coun-
try. In the same way he calculated that
the emigrant of that time. because Of the
larger proportion Of adult males than In the
general population. was worth an average
of about f170 to the country. %
Since the date when these calculations
were made by DR.. Farr wages have risen,
and the future earnings have been increased
by the greater average length of life 1t Is
probable. therefore, that the average value
of an emigrant at the present time is not
less than f200, and Of a family of four per-
sons about 1900.
The emigration of 5000 families would
thus mean a loss of about four million ster-
ling In the capital value of the population
OF this country regarded merely as profit
making machines

Gibraltar Is bling.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
The public is not aware that the great
rock of Gibraltar is tumbling down-that
it's crumbling, rotting masses must be con-
tinually bound together with huge patches
of masonry and cement.
Yet they who sail past Gibraltar cannot
fail to notice on the eastern slope of the
fortress enormous silver-colored patches
cleaning in the sun. These patches, In
some cases thirty or forty feet square, are
the proof Of Gibraltar's disintegration OF
thick, strong cement, they keep huge spurs
on the cliffs side from tumbling into the
blue sea.
Sea captains, cruising in the Mediterrane-
an say that Gibraltar has been rotting anG
crumbling for many years, but that of late
the disintegration has gone on at a faster
rate than heretofore.
They say that the stone forming this i'm
posing cliff is rotten stone, and that In a
little while the phrase 1.-The strength OF
Gibraltar will be meaningless.

ber Of the Practitioner The birth rate, 1t

not extend to the infantile NOR tality, which
