Sea Bathing Going Olt Of Fashion in France.

Sea baths are going out Of fashion In France.
Tho decline has been 90 rapid after q vogue Of
eighty years, that In many seaside places the
owners OF bathing machines and boxes used them
for fuel last winter. Doctors tell patients who
have anything the matter with the heart. or tho

equity or rheumatic trouble to avoid proximity to
the sea, and on no account to battle. The stimua :

those threatened with tuberculosis, and who suffer

The Cadi In the Minor Court.

Perhaps tho most amazing perform
ance ever witnessed in New York court
was that which took place in the York.
vile police court ON Friday, when Magis-
trate STRINERr virtually sentenced to
ban ishment from the State woman who
shot another woman with intent to kill
her. II there is anything about the case
more amazing than this disposition OF it,
II Is Mr.. STE1NERT's explanation that he
let the woman 20 on condition that she
would be out Of New York by 10 o'clock
the next morning, because the parties
meaning thereby the accused and her
counsel and the prosecuting witness and
her eounsel-had agreed to settle 1t that
way. The protests Of the gentleman
who represented the District Attorneys
office received no attention from the
Magistrate, who did not seem to be
aware that one Of the parties to crimi-
nal prosecution is the People Of the State
Of New York.
This was not case In which there
was the slightest doubt as to the main
fact. Mrs. YOUNG and her counsel dc
not deny that she shot Mrs. MORGAN In
the stenographer's Office in the Hotel
Imperial on August 20. The only point
that could be disputed was her mental
condition at the time Of tho act. This
may have been primarily a question for
experts. but il expert opinion has not
found her insane at the present time in
such degree as to demand her COM
initial to an asylum, the matter Of her
sanity or insanity at the moment Of the
shooting could be legally settled only by
q jury in trial upon an indictment for
assault in the first degree.
The unwillingness Of Mrs. MORGAN to
make complaint in the case was nc
warrant whatever for letting it 60 by de-
fault. The first policeman on the scene
OF the crime was perfectly proper per.
son to initiate the prosecution, and, in
dependently Of Mrs. MORGAN, there
were numerous witnesses Of the shoot
ing whose testimony would be quite
sufficient to secure conviction II some
adequate form Of defense were not es-
tablished by her counsel. Indeed, Mrs
MoR0AN's unwillingness to testify af-
tfords only the himsiest sort Of excuse
for the failure properly to push the case.
There arc ample means at the disposal
Of the,oourts for compelling reoalcitrant

Powers Of the world as a demonstration
that, after all, 'heathenism' is superior

Thousands Of Chinese students trained
in Japanese schools are returning to

sequence is a growth of contempt for
Christianity and Christian missionaries.
simultaneously, new idea Of the
value Of the religions Of the Orient has
entered into Christendom as result OF

great mass Of the Western peoples. Mr..

A Problem in Pension Arithmetic.

We observe that some Of our oontem-
poraries are assuming that because the
total penslon Expenditure Of the last
fiscal year was Slll,142,sei, exceeding
that Of tho preceding year by about
$4,000, this ANAL sum measures tho
increased cost to the nation imposed by
the famous Order No. rs, which lowered
the age limit Of pres,lmable disability.
One Of our neighbors. for example,
exhibits tho $4,000 difference in the two
years expenditure for pensions and re-
marks thereupon that the effect Of the
allowances Of claims under Order No.
IS was 'infniteeimal. ..'
This is very misleading. There Is no
direct relation between the $4,000 in
crease in the annual total and the in
crease due to the lowering Of tho age
limit OF presumable disability. It ap-
pears that there were 5,o12 allowances Of
claims, original and for increases, under
Order No. 70. II It were true that tho
cost Of that order during the last fiscal
year were only $4,000, It would follow
that the average pension or increase Of
pension under Order No. 70 was little
less than seventy-four cents q year,
which is absurd. ,.. -
Tho right way to measure the cost Of
Order No. 70 Is to ascertain what the
pension list this last year would have
amounted to had OrderNo. 70 not been is-
sued and then to deduct that amount from
tho actual expenditure. The published
summary Of the Pension Commissioner
report does not indicate that any at
tempt has been made by the bureau to
do this. Outside experiments, In the
F, absence Of tho exact figures, must be
moro or less unsatisfactory,
/ But tho report shows that during the
year 1855 pensioners were dropped
from the ron by reason Of death. This
! 10 roughly per cent. Of the total num-
bsr Of pensioners. II the dropped PEN
siouers bad each. drawn only the average
amount Of all the pensions, their death
! would have reduced tho annual expendi-
i ture BY shout u. 5000
Now inasmuch a. independently Of
I Pension Order No. 70 there would have
bse9 new pensioners to replace in part
those who died during the year, It is
manifestly unfair to assume that this
$500 900. plus tho insignificant $4,000,
/ reprealnts the oostof the lowering Of the
ago limit. Yet this would be quite as
fair o to assume that the $4,000 alone
reprssents that increased cost to the
naNoh.s The truth lies somewhere be-
tween tho $4,000 and tho $e.5Oo,ooo

under the so-called Pettingu schedule passed by
the Brooklyn Board Of Education June 2S, 1898

The schedule was passed before the abolishment
Of the Brooklyn Board of Education under an
amendment to the charter. The single board
which took the place OF the board in each borough
decided that the rules Of the various borough
boards should be adhered to wherever possible. II
was found however. that the PettngiH schedule
had not been voted at two consecutive meetings
of the Brooklyn board, provision required In an
amendment TO the bylaws. Payment Of the teach
ers according to the new schedule was therefore,
held up BY the Controller. The Brooklyn School
Teachers Association decided to fight for the in
crease and began suit which has been in the
courts for some time.
After the argument, which was largely technical.
Justice Gaynor announced that il was clear 10 him
that the Pettngfu schedule did not come under the
provision requiring vote at two consecutive meet

CO4L MINERS TO QUIT.
Marbies Assert Workmen Violate
Strike Commission Ruling.

Freeland Penn, Ocr. 16-At mass meeting
Of the employees OF G. B. Markle & Co, held here
tonight, II was decided to quit work until John
Kardisko. a patcher boy, is reinstated. More
than three thousand men and boys are affected.
The Markle mines are the largest individually
operated in the anthracite fields.
The trouble which eliminated in this action
occurred on last Thursday. when the boy Kar
disbo was suspended for alleged disobedience of
orders. The other drivers quit work in syrlpe-
thy with Kardisko and sent committee to de-
mand his reinstatement Their request was re
fused by Superintendent Smith. who informed
the committee that the striking drivers acted in
violation OF the ruling Of the strike commission.
A provision of this rule requires that men must
remain at work and the grievance be submittsd
to the Cancellation board. The Markle manage
ment asserts that the men have placed them
selves beyond the pale Of the Cancellation board
by going on strike. Both sides show determine
ton. and the indications are that prolonged
and bitter struggle is beginning.
