he had gone to hunt ducks. Mr.. Dana
was born in Hlnsdale, New Hamp-
shire, eighty-six years ago, but the
greater part of his life has been spent
In Warren. He was one of the pio-
neer school teachers of this section.

CIRCUMsTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

The history of the law Is full of
cases in which, despite the strongest
kind of circumstantial evidence, the
innocence of the supposed criminal
has been subsequently established.
One of the most remarkable of such
recent cases was that of a German
named Beck who was twice sentenced
in England for committing crimes of
which he was entirely innocent. He
served a number of years in prison
for the first supposed offense, and
was we'll along in his second term
when, by the merest accident, facts
came into the possession of the po-
lice conclusively proving him inno-
cent. The present agitation in Eng
land for criminal court of appeals
is direct result of the shocking in
Justice done by the law in the Beck
case. The conviction, while primar-
lily the result of mistaken identity,
was really brought about by strong
corroborative circumstantial evil
dence which sufficed to overrule the
original doubt as to whether the ac-
cused was the man.

TOO MUCH LICENSE.

In this country too much license is
given to the anarchists. The red
flag is waved aloft frequently In the
streets of American cities. Meetings
OF radical agitators are permitted
The police stand by and listen to the
speeches of men and women whose
message Is that OF death and destruc-
tion. thinly yelled to meet the super
ficial requirements of the law. The
United States should never cease to
blush for the fact that from these
shores went forth the man who slew
the late King OF Italy. The crime at
Madrid ought to stimulate the au-
thorities on this side of the Atlantic,
as well as those of Europe, to a de-
termined effort to clean out the fouI
oens OF anarchism. - Washington

AN AMERICAN DREADNoUGHT.

1t is reasonably certain now that
some time or other there will be an
American Dreadnought. The SEN
ate's passage of the naval appropria-
tion bill assures the building of an
100000 vessel. designed to be
the largest and most formidable bat
tleship in the world. We are going
to have it, but not right away, evil
IDENTIFY, as the Senate introduced a
clause making 1t necessary that be-
fore any bids are received and ac-
cepted detailed plans of the new ship
shall be submitted to the next Con-
gress. Evidently the American
Dreadnought will not be put In COM
mission for some years; probably not
before England and perhaps Japan
have contracted for, If not launched,
$12,000,000 or $15.O00,0OO floating
forts. Our supremacy, therefore,
will be shortlived at the best. It
might be worth while to hurry up a
little" for the sake of lengthening
this period of pride.

Mrs. Morton Leaves Washington.

Mrs. Levi p. Morton has decided
that life at the national capial lacks
the flavor of yore. After spending
several thousand dollars having the
mansion on Rhode Island avenue re-
modelled, she has turned it over to the
secretary of state and will divide the
winter between southern Italy, Spain
and New York.
No residence in Washington has
more brilliant social history than the
Mortons'. Built by Alexander Graham
Bell, the inventor, it was purchased
by Mr.. Morton when vice president.
He pronounced it the most elegant and
commodious house in Washington.
1t was afterward the scene of the
wonderful triumphs of Countess Mar
guerite Cassini and of the deplorable
failure of her foster father, Count Cas-
SIM, the Russian ambassador, in the
diplomacy relating to the Russo-Japa-
nese war.
Mrs. Morton occupied her home for
the greater part of last season and re.
ceived the homage of all society, from
the White House down the list. Her
daughter, formerly Duchess de Valen-
cay, now known as Miss Morton, was
pronounced by Sir Mirtimer Durand as
the most beautiful American woman

CareIessness In Sending Money.

Carelessness in sending money

His name was given, but no post of
flee address. The letter had been
handled in various post Offices there,
as well as Europe, and then returned
to the United States. 1t was opened
by the dead letter Office, and found to
contain $500 in gold certificates. The
department has learned the sending
