CAPTURED BY

In the month Of June ten or twelve
years ago strange things began to hap

habItants. 1t has several manufactur.
ing plants and public institution that
will be mentioned later on. One morn
ing the owner of a livery stable woke
up to find that eleven OF the thirteen
horses he had TO hire had been ham
strung and rendered useless during the
night. ~
The next night two cows In the barn
of citizen had their throats cut. On
the third night horse in a pasture In
the suburbs was stabbed to death. On
the fourth night an old woman living
alone in the town was dubbed to
death. On the fifth night there was an
ineendiary fire that did 100000 worth
of damage.
The reader may well believe that
these things stirred up great excite
ment. The local police were busy, and
tie newspapers demanded arrests. but
no results were attained. 1t might
have been CURED that the liyeryman
had an enemy who was determined on
his ruin but for the fnct that the other
crimes seemed to have baen committed
by the same hand. The man who Killed
the horse In pasture certainly had no
gludge against the owners Of the cows.
And why should the man who set the
fire want to kill the old womanl

England, and he would be heard Of no
more. Hc was working on the case for
a month, and. though he accomplished
nothing, the town had to be satisfied.
Another three months passed by
without hearing from the "aend. z Then
he broke out again. In raiding around
the town for four nights he destroyed
$4,000 worth of public property, burn
ed two barns, killed two donkeys, de-
faced the doors OF the town hall and
assaulted the Waterman Of private
bank. The Waterman heard some one
fumbling at the door at midnight and
opened II to see who was there. He
was struck from behind with an iron
bar. and, though knocked senaeless. the
thickness OF his hat saved him. No one
had entered the bank while he lar un-

particular person there would have

Ing \ salesman In a dry goods store sat
down to reason the case TO himself,

1.-THE crimes have been too numerous
to point to revenge as the motive. Pub
lie as well as private property has
suffered. Had only one tombstone
been thrown down we could say that
tho ghoul wanted to show his hatred
for one dead person, but he threw
down those nj the graves OF men. wo-
men and children to the number OF
twenty-five. 1t is doubtful II he knew
or had ever heard Of the people he as
saulted- A man might be hired to

could get the insurance, but would
the same man Oh the same night Kill
horses or cows or ruin shade trees and
statuary? There can be no connec-
ton between running memorial win
dows and assaulting citizen living
two miles away The crimes are COM
mitted at intervals Of about three
months. II would seem as II the man
had periodical outbreaks. Some of his

The London Statlst Is very complimentary
ind very kind but surely Uncle Sam will
think twice before undertaking the job of
policing Morocco. II is off our beat to be-
gin with. and We have Africans enough In
our woodpile to look after to end with. No,
we are not at Algeciras for the purpose OF
pulling anybody's chestnuts out of the fire.
Our sympathes are broad, and take In all
sides to the controversy, to the extent that
We desire good workable, ali-round solu-
ton of the difficulty. No bullying of. or by,
anybody. In fact 1t may be said that the
power which should carry itself so ag-
excessively and unreasonably as to threaten
war over any question there presented
would forfeit the worlds belief in its sim
cerity We should all proceed at once to
inquire as to just what the spring OF action
might be,
Nobody would believe that It was Mo-
rocco or any collateral branch OF that

had the temperature fallen instead of risen
Immediately after the fall, the capital would
have been in sad state indeed, without
means to rescue itself from its sad plight
until Congress hurried to make an appro-
priation.
The policy OF both houses has thus far
been to force the District to start the dscal
year with very small sum. 5000. and
then to knock on the doors Of the appro-
priations committees for such additional
amounts as natures tricks In midwinter
render necessary. Thus. the Commissioners
may be compelled to apply to Congress
three or four or more times during a session
for snow money, whereas IL the fiscal year
opened with properly liberal sum at their
disposal in the federal treasury for this
purpose they could cope with the severest
and the most frequent storms without delay
or embarra ssment.
1t Is possible to strike an average of the
past years in the matter Of expenditures on
the snow account. and 1t is certainly good
business to supply the funds which may
reasonably be regarded as necessary to
carry the District through the year. In
virtually no other line Is the capital held
down to this hand-to-mouth system Of ap-
preparations. and there is no valid reason to
urge for the exception.

The Length of the Session.

The Senate has now In its hands not
only the fate of the three important bills
OF statehood. the Philippine tariff and

the length of the congressional session.
Progress in the House has been unusual.
Very few expected the situation that
exists In that body today. Addressing it,
self promptly and strictly to business, the
House has cleared the way for the appro-
priation bills SO early that adjournment,
80 far as 1t is concerned, should be possible
late in May early in June viii the
Senate cooperate to such an end?
1t Is not more important this year than
usual but 1t Is always considered impor4

possible and let those members of the
