AIR MYSTERY.

Newton, Miss, March 27.-Under an illness of about week, with pneu- monia, David McDermott. superinten- dent of bridges and building on the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City rail road, between Middleton and Mobile, died here at II o'clock yesterday Of Merchant Brothers.
 There is somewhat of a mystery about Mr. McDermott. He was con- scious and able to talk up to few hours before his death, and knew that he was going to die, but efforts to prevail on him to tell anything about his people were futile. He was origi- nally from near the town of Spring field, Mo, which place he left when he vas a boy, and he said he had a sister and brother living there, but would not tell their given names or their ad- dresses. A short while before he died he said he had no family and had never been married, but he told some one here a week or two ago that he did have wife, as well as grown daughter in Missouri.
 None of the railroad men with whom he has been associated, includ- ing the superintendent of the road, seems to know whether he had any relatives or not, and no letters were found in his possession to show that he did have.

pr. Rider Fined.

Hot Springs, Farch 27.-Dr. T. B. Rider was again fined s100, and costs amounting to $93.15 yesterday after noon for violating the rules of the Interior department, which denies the non-registered physician the privilege Of prescribing the hot baths.
 The case was a rehearing of the case in which the same fine and costs were imposed last week, upon the re- peal of payment of which Dr. Rider was committed to jail, but afterwards released upon the order of United States District Attorney Whipple.
 When the case was called in Com- morning, Dr. Rider failed to appear and inquiry at his office and residence elicited the reply that he had left the city for couple of days. Dr. Me Crary was found to be in charge of his office, but would give no definite information as to where Dr. Rider could be located. F %N
 Col. Whipple learned that Dr. Rider was spending the day in the country on his farm, and warrant was plac ed in the hands of Officer Cooper and Detective Casey with positive instruc tions to bring him before the court before the day was over. They found him on the old Kirkham farm, in the Essex Park valley seven miles east of this city.

The little city of Moscow is at this
time one of the liveliest towns in the
northwest. The state is spending sew
eral hundred thousand dollars to replace
the main building of the university
which burned few months ago, and
erecting other college buildings; the
telephone company has just begun on
improvements that will require $50, 900;
an electric car line is building to the
city. In addition to these improve
ments, which will require an army of
men to carry them through, there is the
usual steady growth of the town, and
the wheat growers of the famous

THE WORLD AND ITS LESSONS,

THE WORLD AND ITS LESSONS,
The world is just beginning to learn
it's lessons from the great disaster that
befell San Francisco. What heart aches
and long hours of anxiety were endured
when the news of the loss of human
life and the devastation of that mag
nifcent city was flashed over the wires:
For days and weeks the reading public
eagerly scanned the daily press to get
every bit of news that was to be had on
the terrible disaster; Then the leaders
of thought began writing timely articles
on earthquakes, their causes, history,
etc., and then the student and thought
full reader began pulling down his old
text books that were his closest friends
when he was in college, and refreshing
his memory 50 he can have better
understanding of the writer's thought.
The world has done just such things
before. Time is always setting before
us problems that arouse our curiosity
and require solution. How many out
of college knew very much about the
countries of south Africa until the Boer
war. What position did Japan occupy
in the average mind before it humbled
Russia's pride. How many who never
read general history knew about
Pompeii and Herculaneum before great
Vesuyius was disturbed and threatened
to bury modern cities as those
cities were buried eighteen hundred
years ago.
So it is, the great disaster at San
Francisco has set problem and caused
us to pause and consider how fearfully
and wonderfully the world is made.
While architects and builders are plan
ming and devising to overcome the
effects of the earthquake, scholars and
students are coming old musty books.
1t is now common knowledge that the
: fable recorded by Plato about CONT
nent to the west of Europe called At
lantis is true. Students argue that the
assumption of the former existence OF
such a continent would make it fan
easier to explain the puzzling relation
l ship between certain animals, and, above
. all, certain plants, which are native tt
both Europe and the new world. Some
e one has discovered that the state o.
e Pennsylvania, where our richest Goa
deposits are found, has been the bottom
d of the ocean twenty-three times.
\ The disaster that befell San francisco
r was too great for the human mind t.
v grasp in detail. The broken hearts vii
e have to be left to that great homeo
/ pathic physician, Father Time. TIL
v horror of the earthquake will spur tn
student to closer study and deeper re
: search to add to the knowledge of tn
J. world.

THE JUDICIARY AND THE LAW.

THE JUDICIARY AND THE LAW.
F. H. Brownell, retiring president OF
the Washington State Bar association,
struck number of popular chords in
his remarks on the practice of law, be-
fore turning the office over to his sue
cessor the other day. Mr.. Brownell can
at least be rated as serious, matter
of-fact man if his questions to the
lawyers of the association do not betray
the optimism that is so greatly cherished
by the voluptuous spirit of the day.
Mr.. Brownell asks:
.Have our courts kept abreast Of the
times? Are we, as a profession, up TO
a-+e? Are we in harmony with the
spirit OF the age? Can we point to new
improvements, to quicker results, to
processes more economical in time and
money-in short, can we as a profession
lay claim truthfully to-having improved
on the methods and processes of our
fathers? Can the principles of the law
be applied more readily and easily than
generation ago? Can decision be
reached more quickly. is crime pun
ished more unerringly and speedily, is
justice accomplished more quickly now
than then?'
Mr.. Brownell's peace of mind is some
thing akin to that of the laity who OBJ
serve closely the manner in which just
ice and equity are dispensed in the var
ious courts. His questions, however,
could have gone farther. For instance,
4'Would right and justice be more Sc
cure if the judiciary were taken out OF
politics?" With this question now
under discussion in many states in the
union, and the evil effects of the present
system shown in court proceedings
where men high in financial circles are
contending parties, it seems more ar
oversight for the retiring president Of
the legal fraternity that he did moi
speak of it. Politics plays very i'm
portant part many times in delaying
justice, and not infrequently reward i.
tempered and shaped according to the
obligations under which the giver is t.
the party who is to receive it.
Another way to improve the grade O
justice and the manner of dispensing i
is for the legislative bodies to max
only such enactments as the welfare o
society demands. When people know
that law is good and will hold Their
is a wholesome respect for that law
and justice will be delayed none on &C
count of an effort to prove it unconsti
tutional. Unconstitutional has com
to be as much of an escape hole as ''sel
defense" and insanity" and the wors
thing about it is that judgment is give
by one who holds an elective office.
The Judiciary and the department Q
public instruction probably have close
relationship with the home than all othe
departments of government, and fc
that reason they should be as free 9
possible from the unholy war alway
being waged by the different polite;
parties and factions.
