1t is exceedingly difficult to compre-
bend, says Leslie's Weekly, the moral
and mental makeup of that class OF
men and women who compose the So
called fashionable set In our larger
American cities and who in days like
these can find no higher or saner pur-
pose for the expenditure Of their time
and money than in feeding their vani-
ties and indulging their pampered ap-
petites. With millions dying from star
walton in Russia, with hordes of men
and women desperate with hunger and
privatiOn marching through the streets
of London, with a thousand appeals
for help and service arising from every
quarter of our own land, what but a
heart incrusted with selfshness and
filled with greed and foolish pride
could remain Obdurate and unrespons-
i've! Such must have been the charac-
ter Of the rich and fashionable family
in Louisville, KY, who gave birthday
luncheon to q pet dog the other day,
with all the accomplishments of high
class social function. The beast was
the guest of honor, and around the
board, we are informed, were persons
prominent in society,"" An elaborate
menu was provided and the dog was
served from silver platter. OF course
no blame can be attached to the dog,
which apparently had the wisest head
Of all engaged in this silly business,
but as to the other creatures who sur
rounded 1.-THE board" there can hardly
be but one opinion among intelligent and
conscientious men and women. Their
proper status, we should say, was sew
eral grades below that of the dog. 1t
is precisely such exhibitions as these
and such use of wealth that furnish
ample fuel to the anarchist and other
enemies Of the existing social order.

1t is surprising how many people
there are in this world who want to
Increase the discOmforts of life. There
is always bobbing up some professor or
propagandist who informs us that
everything, we have ever done Is wrong
and that the only road to physical sal
walton is to follow his own schedule.
And now comes a man from Chicago
where they know more things which
aren't so than in any city in the world
and tells us that we must not eat
soup, pie, pancakes, buildings and cold
meats, except ham, and apparently
make our principal diet spinach, aspar-
agus, lettuce and onions. Probably
most persons eat more than is good
for them and it is certain that, gener-
ally speaking, food is not we'll cooked.
But to lay down a law for the human
race is absurd.

HAIR CUT ON A BRIDGE.
Peculiar Evidence Saved a Man Ac-
cused of Murder.

cused of Murder.
Literally speaking, the life Of Hugh
Criggan of Inniscreehery, charged yes
terday at Belfast assiZes with the muir
der Of farmer named John Gardiner,
hung upon thread. The police based
their case upon a human hair, a thread
and a whisky bottle.
The two men had attended a sports
meeting at Lisnaskea and were sup
posed to have started together for
home. Gardiner was never again seen
alive, but there was evidence of a
struggle having taken place at Ballyn-
adarragh bridge, over which they
would have passed.
At this spot GARDENERS broken UNI
brella was picked up the following day,
and his dead body, with number of
wounds, was recovereS from the river
1,123 yards below the bridge.
The police investigation succeeded in
discovering a hair on the parapet Of
the bridge, which, from It's appearance
was stated to have been from the mus
tache Of the victim.
They also found thread near the
hair, and this, it was alleged by the
crown, was from the tab of the coat
which the prisoner vas wearing.
An important link in the chain of
evidence was black wnIslzy bottle.
This, it was stated, was sold to Gar
diner at Lisnaskea during the day pre-
ceding the night on which he met his
death, and it was not seen again until
produced and opened by the accused at
a time subsequent to that at which the
murder was stated to have taken place.
The E:edical evidence showed that
Gardiner was not dead when he was
thrown intD the river.
Only one of the injurses on his body
was proved to be wound made before
death, which might have been inflicted
by blow from a full bottle, but could
not have been caused by an empty one.
Prof. Barklie, analyst, stated that on
the trousers, shirt front and the tie of
the prisoner he discovered blood stains,
which, however, he could not determine
to be human.
For the defense, evidence was pro-
duced to prove that rowdy scenes had
occurred at Ballynadarrag bridge at
a time after the appearance of Criggan
at the house of a friend, where he
brought out the WHISKY bottle.
About this time cries Of distress were
heard by those three, coming from the
direction of the bridge. So far as the
thread was concerned, it was shown
that it was from coat similar to those
worn in this part Of the country by nu-
merous people.
In reference to the hair found-four
days after the murder-a number of
witnesses declared that the inhabitants
instead of going to a barber shop,
obliged each other by cutting one an
others hair at the bridge.
Only the day before the tragedy the
deceased cut the hair Of a neighbor at
this spot.
After three-Quarters of an hours de-
liberation the jury found the prisoner
not guilty and he was discharged

The announcement that the Pennsyl-
vania Railway Company is preparing
to do away with steam engines and to
use electric motors exclusively, through
out it's extensive system, presages the
end Of the age Of steam and the COM
Ing triumph of electricity. The state
ment may seem startling at first, but
as a matter Of fact the railroads have
been experimenting with electric en-
gines for some time and their eventual
use was a foregone conclusion. Not
only in the matter of speed but in every
other respect electricity has the adj
vantage over steam as a motive power

customs and spirits of ancestors I'M
derlie all that Is modern in the vast

highly educated Christian, has for years
dressed in European clothes, but for
the wedding ceremony he resumed his
native dress. The bride, daughter of

parents had never had her feet bound !;
but she hobbled up the aisle of the
English church, supported on each side
by attendants, as an aristocratlc lady
with tiny feet would be forced to walk.
Bridesmaids, ushers, the wedding

of the Church of England were other
accessories Of the occasion.
