vuIaar Money.

From the Washington Times.
That the ridiculous spectacle of Scott.
the Death Valley miner. and his purpose
less, record brealing trip across the con-
tinent may not do some good, who would
sayi That his indisoriminate and lavish
abuse of money Is however. as far as he
Is concerned. criminal and vulgar. is fair
ly plain. Certainly. he would neither un-
derstand theattitude Of mind that crti-
cises his performances nor colcern him
SELF about the criticisms If he understood
them
His interest o. the effect of his snectac-
ular performances is probably limited to
the people Of his own gaping class. and as
for the rest of the public. "Oh. the public
be damned I have tho money. and when
ms some I know where TO get plenty
more"
Scott, however, is only trine more yul-
gar than the average of our mushroom
milllonaircs and overnight captains If in-
dpstry. Money without common sense in
telligence, and culture-nay. wealth with
all .hese. but minus the true refinement
Of the hearts, ever a curse. The vast
majority of mankind are kept reasonably
decent by a discerning Providence which
denies them the means TO make egregious
asses OF themselves.
Scott az present has money. it is doubt
ful IL he could ever have wealth. The
kind of which he is a type IS a by-product
of our Industrial system. but is absolutel,
meaningless and worthless 20 civilization
except as channels for the dispersion OF
the circulating medium. He belongs to tn,

hind them.
Scott and his money are vulgar Hi,
methods are crude and his aim is not high
Nevertheless, the result of his absurdit,
may be lowering Of the time schedule,
from coast TO coast. and that would un.
doubtedly be a blessing. Even out of evi
good may come.

CONSTABL[S COMPELLED

by Mob

Constables Barnes. Bowers and
Jones made a descent on Fairyland
Park, formerly Gordon Heights, a re-
sort for Philadelphians, yesterday, and
raided a crowd of crap shooters. They
grabbed tnree men and started away
with them when a mob which quickly
COLLECTED and which evidently sympa-
thized with the SAMPLERS, followed
threatening to do the officers harm if
they did not release their prisoners
The officers, however held on to their
men and were allowed to go unmolested
until the p, b. & W. railroad tracks
were reached, when a rush was made
and the crowd tried to wrest the men
away from their captOrs. The latter
were Immediately made the target for
stone ballast and for protection they
were compelled to draw their revolv-

the officers were given no more trouble
The men were brought to Whining

portunity for proper comment
But il is apparent unfortunately that
there must always be danger on our
modern warships with all their vast and
complicated mechanisms. and with the
quantities of explosives they carry.
But this time the accident was due to
defective boilers and in remarkable
manner in recent years we have managed
to guard against this form of disaster
Thorough inspection by competent onicers.
both on sea and on land, has reduced
boiler explosions almost to the point OF
perfect safety. II occurs then, that in
the case OF the Bennington there must
have been carelessness or Incompetence

H Democratic party as such has

whatever disposition occasional DEM
oerats have shown. The reason is not
far to seek: they have not been able
to secure any part Of the negro vote
at the polls,
But they have been insistent In urg-
ing the colored man TO demand larg-
er share Of the spoils Of onice. and the
oolored voter has always estimated
this advice at its real worth.

congratulating Councilman Postles on
his stand and calling attention to the
fact that negroes hold but few offices
IN Delaware. They are advised to de-
mand recognition in proportion to their
voting strength
Now to properly estimate this advice
and TO ascertain the motive behind IT,.
lei us ask what this Kent county DEM

ne would take away his ballot. then he
would enact "Jim-crow law. and
would end with series OF enactments
that would reduce the coiored man to
practical serfdom Yet as it is. he
presumes TO advise the colored man to

gard IL as shrewd. but il is hardly hon =

Now it is proper IN certain instances
to recognize the negro in appoint

the question The Republican party
has had the whole burden OF the

sequences Of placing the ballot in his
hands it has fought an sorts of spe-
cial legislation aimed at the negro. has
given him schools and has discouraged

man for its object.
If any party is entitled 10 advise the
coiored man it is the Republican party.
and could that party now speak to
Councilman Postles it would say: You
are laboring under the mistake that
the Republican party owes you great
debt II owes you nothing on the

which you can never cancel You and
your race owe all that you are and an
that your children hope TO be 10 the

more such conduct as you are now

The walking sticks" walking

MENTAL ACCURACY.

Hot Weather and Beauty.

From the Chicago Journal
one does not ordinarily think Of
American women as pale until the
heated term lends a pretty flush to
their faces. Then. however much he
had been willing to accord the sister
hood its full need of praise before. he
Is forced to admit that their former
beauties are all enhanced by the dash
of color-by the realities OF com
plexion which is not and cannot be en-
HANGED by art.
II lends new significance to the state
ment, more or less doubtful at other
seasons of the year. that beauty un-
adorned is adorned them ost.
Our grandmothers used to think that
the way to keep the complexion beauti-
full was to intern it, so to speak. and
never permit the sun and wind to kiss
the face OF maid or wife into life OF
vigor. Some set the feminine face
which OF all things under the sun was
made to look at. under bonnets deeply
recessed and behind wells of the thick
est. Some even went far as TO speak
with commentator upon the practice
|of Spanish women. who never bathed
their darkly beautiful cheeks with any
thing more than the white of egg
which was promptly wiped Off All
were committed TO the theory that
some form of wash or unguent was an
enhancer of beauty.
The one thing back OF a good com,
plexion is health. The element I'm health
lie in being out Of doors i'm the sun
and air as much as possible In hot
weather one obtains the benefits of out
of doors In concentrated FORM And
that is why the daughters Of Chicago
