HazIng at the Naval Academy Is
again commanding attention. Only q
few weeks ago cadet was killed as
the result of hazing, and yet it goes on
just the same. IL is pitiable to see the
imbeciIity of the government in this
matter. 1t whines like spoilt child,
and Secretary BOnaparte at one time
was about to ask the laws of Maryland
to take 1t up and punish for it. The
Academy is larger than the nation
that is all. 1t is usually made up of
young men whose fathers or grand
fathers were somebody, but who them
selves seem to be nobody, and very lit
tie of that. If, when hazing is discov.
cred, the whole of the 4th class should
be dismissed, kicked out, without any
questions asked, that would come very
near stopping it. The dismissal of the
officers in charge, or rather the court
martialing and removing of them,
would also have q statutory effect.

SHOULD REGULATE THE BALDWINS.

News comes to US from W. Va. that
about Christmas times very crowded
train On the G. & o. was coming east
ward toward Charleston; that passen-
sengers were standing in the aisles and
on the platforms; there was a chair
car ON the train for which an extra
brothers of the name of Lane were on
the train and had been standing and
went into this chair Car because there
were no seats elsewhere, and when ex-
ira fare for the seats was demanded
refused to pay it, and fight ensued
between them and the train force. At
this juncture, so the story goes, some
detectives of Baldwin's Agency came
into the fight and shot both of the
Lanes, one of them having since died.
This Baldwin Agency is a Virginia
affair, and for this reason We have
noticed this killing. We do not desire
to interfere with their liberties in W.
Va, they can kill and do anything else
which il permitted to them within that
territory. But it has not been long
since members of this organization
were tried In our State for illegal kill
ing. We learn that these were ac-
Quilted. But the habit Of the Baldwin
detectives of pushing themselves in
where they have no business is grow
ing, and growing entirely too fast.
They seem to think that they can
shoot anybody who resists them and
that they have rights which as We I'M
derstand the laws of the land would
never accord to the Emeror. We
scanned the w. Va. killing TO see how

He will probably have very little to
say about the tariff, notwithstand-
ing it Is understood that he is in
favor of a considerable revision
in some of the schedules. 1t is,
however, likely that Tedd Twill not
push the tariff question in this
Congress, mainly for the reason
that his former recommendations
along that line were treated with
"silent despise" by Speaker Can
non and the standpatters who con-
trolled legislation. He is perhaps
right about it, anyway. This is a
short session and the tariff ques-
tion should have careful and de-
Lucrative consideration.

Rev. Algernon Crapsey, a n

N. Y, was forced to renounce the
ministry because of his radical
views. He affirmed his belief that
the "Fiction of the origin of
Jesus, that a son of man was born
without a human father, is with
out foundation in history" He
went further to add that "When /
say of Jesus that he assembled into
heaven, that with his physical
body of flesh, blood and bones he
floated into space and has for two
thousand years b en- existing
somewhere in the sky, that very
physical body of flesh, blood and

A GOOD TOWN.

A few words in the interest O
our city. While sitting by ny
freside my thoughts run bacl
only few years when Union City
our city, was almost a wilderness
compared with to day. Only a few
dwellings, one dry goods store, one
family grocery and one blacksmith
shop, and no corporation, sur.
rounded by woods. creeks and
mud holes. Look at her to. day.
See her with her few thousand OF
as happy, as good and as prosper
GUS people as the sun ever shone
upon, with her beautiful surround
ings of thousands of acres of the
very richest and most productive
land, owned and cultivated by the
very best, enlightened and up to-
date farm ers and citizens. Its
three splendid and su b tantial
banks, governed and controlled by
competent, honest and accommo-
dating persons, her three large
milling establishments, with three
large elevators; her water an d
electric light plant, ice plant and
cold storage room; saw mill, plan
ing mill, spoke factory, duck fac
tory, tile factory which ships
thousands of feet of thing every
season; one large foundry an d
wagon factory, five splendid black
smith shops, three marble works,
one brick yard, and numbers of
other places that give employment
to hundreds of its people, her
beautiful churches that are we'll
attended at their different services,
her splendid schools, second to
none in the State, governed and
controlled by as fine, as intellec.
tual and as efficient a corps of
teachers, from the superintendent
down, as can be found in any
State. Here you start your boy
or girl and land them thoroughly
prepared into Vanderbilt Univer-
sity, at very small cost.
Are you taking advantage of the
opportunity? Let's visit our
schools, let's get acquainted with
the methods. Let's see for our
selves and then tell the good news.
Parents, visit the schools it will
do you good. The superintendent
and principals will be glad to have
you. And more, if you have been
a chronic kicker you will kick no
more, but will fall in line and help
with all your power. Try it.

DUST EXPLOSION KILLS
q In COLORADO MINE

Trinidad, Col, April 23.--As re-
suit Of dust explosion in mine Of
the Colorado Fuel & Iron COMPANY,
forty miles west of Trinidad, shortly
before noon Sunday, twenty two miners
are known to be dead and one other is
missing. There is little hope of find
ing him alive. ~, 49,: IS. rs
There were forty men in the mine
at the time Of the explosion Seven
teen miners who were working 300
feet from the entrance escaped unin-
iured thru another opening. The ex-
plosion occurred in rooms 8 and 4,
near the main entrance, and was the
result Of a windy shot which ignited
the dust. The mine was not badly dam
aged and work can be resumed in a
few days. r1.4s
The mine gave employment to 100
men. Miners from adjacent camps are
assisting in the rescue. General Super.

Among the. dead is j.. b. Reed, fire

INSURANCE CLAIMS
WILL ALL Be PAID
Underwriters Say San Francisco
Liabilities May Reach
$2oo,ooo,ooo.

Special to Tie Journal.
Chicago, April Notwithstanding
the fact that the liabilities of the vari-
Gus companies on San Francisco losses
will probably reach $l50,000,Oo0 and
may 90 to $2OO,OOO,OOO, it is conceded
by the best informed underwriters that
no company will lack sufficient resour-
ces to pay up every claim in full, as
| was prophesied on Friday, -
Some may be forced to reinsure and
go out Of business. A few frightened
policyholders have visited the offices
Of some of the. local companies and
icies, but when they were advised to
wait for a week they promptly COM
piled.
Policyholders Stand Together.
The great majority Of policyholders
are standing together along with the
agents in an effort to save every com
pany from any serious trouble. In
| general all interests are united in the
belief that the best good of all com
panies and Of all policYholders will be
| conserved only by taking the disaster
coolly, at least until some idea OF the
| exact losses sustained by each company
| can be ascertained.
| Able to Stand TogeInef.
| This much is certain: all companies
involved will stand together and help
each other if necessary. Altho some OF
the weaker companies probably will
suceumb to the pressure Of claims, they
will pay all liabilities in full. If thel1
resources are not sufficient for this
they will be aided by stronger com
panies. 49, r.. -,
= Insurance men are confident that. g
liberal policy will be taken by all in
terests involved. On account of, this
fact no one need be alarmed over the
situation. The policyholders. at least
are safe everywhere. Should some OF
the weaker companies go out of bust
ness their patrons will be taken care OF
by other companies. :..s ).
Advise Delay of Week: ~
Policvholders are advised by al
agents to wait at least a. week before
making changes. At that time it may
be. found that companies which appea,
now to be- the heaviest losers are il
better condition than others. Thi
will undoubtedly be the case with {
few of the companies which have con
sidered reinsurance in other companies
The basis of the adjustment of losse
still is only conjecture with local I'm
derwriters. Just how liberal the com
panies can be in meeting liabilities i
hard to determine. ~ ~: T..

London, April 23.-An extraordinary
story is published by the Manchester
Guardian today from correspondent
in Russia, asserting that Father Gapon
was hanged secretly April 10. by four
revolntionists, who overheard him ad-
nit that he was spying on his former
revolutionary colleagues in behalf of
the Russian police.
It was announced from Z st. Peters.
burg, April 10, that Father Gapon had
mysterious]y disappeared about a week
previously and that his wife was great
ly alarmed fearing foul play on the
part of his enemies as the police in
sisted that he had not been arrested
and that they knew nothing Of his
whereabouts.
The dispatch added that it was con
sidered possible that Gapon had beer
kidnapped by his enemies.
