organs.
BY breathing .Hyoinei three Oh foEr
times daily through the neat pocket in
haIer that comes with every outfit, it's
medicated. healing air penetrates TO the
most remote parts of the nose, throat
and lungs, searches out and kills all
catarrhal germs, and soothes and heals
any irritation in the mucous membrane.

murder Of his sweetheart. The incident
shows exactly the spirit which actuhtes
the lynchcr IN the South, where without
actual proof the mob learns that straws
tend toward the guilt Of certain per,
son, and that's the end Of the person.
So in the Herkimer ease now being
brought out, Some extremely damaging
evidence has been shown against the
young respondent, but that evidence Of
alleged participation in murder il not
to be compared IN Its inaammable ma
ture with the reading Of the letters
which the young girl wrote to the re-
spondent several weeks before her death.
These letters read in court tell so pitiful
a tale that no one can restrain a feeling
Of loathing for the young man charged
with her murder, albeit those letters
may have no convincing bearing on the
death Of the girl Anger Is raised against
the recipient OF those appeals and is
famed to white heat. It takes a
level-headed reasoning to give the re-
spondent the benefit Of fair eonsidera-
tion Of the extremely serious case
against him afr nerllsal Of the epis-
ties The people who are not wont
to control their feelings give way before
a desire TO wreak vengeance, and they
have already given way in this case,
so much SO that the prisoner has to
be securely guarded to prevent injury
being done to him. II is said that
several attempts have been made to ex-
act illegal punishment upon him
All this shows the iallibility Of human
reasoning as guided and controlled to
a considerable extent by the impulses.
Try as it may, the average mind will
be unwilling to give the young man
now in the tolls the benefit Of fair
and unbiased consideration in this his
trying moment The average man forms
the average jury which IS summoned
to pass upon the guilt or Innocence Of
a man accused OF murder. 1t is this
fallibility that makes the execution of
a convicted person 50 precarious thing
70 perform.

A Motley CreNy.

With crew composed of nearly q
dozen nationalities, from an Irish
man to reformed cannibal from In
dia, and having on board a collection
of weird devices used during the re-
ligious worship of the sailors, the
British tramp steamship Indra, load
ed with $500 tens of manganese ore,
is docl1ed OF the Girard Point
wharves.
Lascars, wildly beating tom-toms
and chanting weird East Indian
strains; Malays, prostrated about the
deck in a circle, listening to the eX-
hortation of a diminutive, excited,
bearded priest, and finally half a
dozen Cinnamon huddled together in
another portion of the deck, softly
praying to their gods, are sights
which are nightly presented to the
officers of the Indra and persons who
reside in the vicinity of Girard Point.

A Defense of the American Press.

First of all it must be pointed out
that no press of any country attains
to that supreme potentiality over
popular opinion which has been
achieved by the press of America.
Were it guilty, as whole, of animus
toward England. the present AMIGA
BILE relations of the two countries
would be impossible of continuance.
The idea intended 70 be conveyed
will perhaps be clearer to those who
have visited or lived in America, and
have realized with what marvellous
celebrity and strength the public pulse
of that country responds to press
suggestion and agitation-respond
in way that is apparently quite
foreign to English character. The
extreme sensitiveness of popular
| judgment in the United States has
been to many an able, cultured Amer
lean source of deep concern. They
have seen grave issues, upon which
they believed the future welfare of
the country to depend, tossed and
banded by the fiippant influence of
certain sections of the press that
| neither professed nor practiced
moral or political principle Yet to-
day the majority of those who once
wrung their hands at the lack of all
sense Of moral responsibility exhibit
ed by many American papers have
come to the conclusion that an eyo-
luton, greater than they dreamed
of, has been in process, and that out
of evil good has come; for recent
history in America shows that, in the
main, public feeling has been in
fluenced in the right direction by the
methods, however questioned they
may be, of the American press. which
in its vast composition is so hetero-
geneous as to defy all attempts at
analytical generalisms.
There are over two thousand daily
papers published in the United
States, but what l desire particularly
to emphasize is, not so much their
numerical strength, as their unusual
| scope for good or evil. Once this
phase is clearly grasped, it becomes
obvious that Anglo-American friend
ship could not contine to exist if tho
bulk of the news sent from England
to America were impregnated or even
tainted with Anglophobe spirit.-W.

500 year That is very liberal
estimate He had two suits of
clothes, one for weekdays and the
other for Sunday, and he had worn
them as long as anybody can remem-
Der. He had not bought a new over
coat for fifteen or twenty years, and
his hat is quite as old as that IL not
older. A few years ago he sent for
gentleman who had done him favor
and in confidential way said that
he was going to reward him with
Tip" that he could work for a profit.
Then, to the mant astonishment, Mr..
Sage gave him the address of a store
on Seventh avenue where he could
get shoes for So a pair.
Ate Free Lunch.
To save time the Western Union
Telegraph Company serves a free
lunch to It's operators, and Mr.. Sage
appeared every day at a certain hour.
A seat was kept for him at a certain
table up to the last day he came
downtown. He never paid fare on
the elevated railroad, because he was
director, and the ticket takers
had instructions to let him go by
without paying. He invariably helped
himself to newspapers from the stand
at Fiftieth street in the morning
when on his way downtown, and did
the same at Rector street when he
was going home in the afternoon. He
had taken his newspapers for a gener-
| alton in the same way, of the same
| men, and they never dared say a
word about It. He had always COM
| PEELED the bootblacks on the elevated
stations to shine his shoes for moth
ing. At first, years ago, they used to
demonstrate. He would climb into one
of the chairs and wait until they had
served him. If they demanded pay
he would threaten to have them put
off the platform.
He has quiet dittle country place
down on Long Island, with a good
deal of lawn; but he did not keep the
turf shaved down like his neighbors.
He let the grass grow until it was
high enough to make good hay and
then would sell it for SO to livery
stable keeper in the vicinity.
