The Trail Of The Serpent.

At the tombs prison in New York
thousand men hang around the
cnlv entrance for visitors. It has
been so for days. Harry Kendall
Thaw is inside the walls and his
young and beautiful wife may by
chance 90 to see him. r. the news
papers whole pages have been de-
voted for days to Thaw and his vic
tim.
Every disgusting detail of their
lives have been told or, when unfit
for print, has been limited at.
Every word Thaw has said since he
shot White, every movement of his
wife, her most private converse
tions, minute descriptions of her
gowns and Of her appearance, color
ed according to the imagination of
the public, have been published.
The details of this crime have
been the first thing read by ninety
per cent of the American public
this week. No hamlet has been too
remote to be interested, no man or
woman has been too high or low in
social caste, too rich or poor, too
busy or lazy. too intellectual or
moral, to skip line of the salacious
details.
What was it about, this crime
that has stirred a nation, that has
wiped out all class and caste distinc-
tions and brought all to a common
level of moral morbidity? Stripped
of it's tinsel and glittering general
ties, it amounts to this: A young
Pittsburg degenerate, born with
more millions than brains, INDUCED
from infancy, who never did a
stroke of work even in play, whose
only sports since boyhood have been
wine and women, whose income was
greater than he could spend and
who never for a minute of all his
dissolute, useless life was a Fl assc-
ciate for anyone. is the criminal
His victim was an even more dan
gerous type, for he had brains of a
high order. His intellect was as
lofty as his moral standards were
low. He had accomplished much
in his life and leaves many monu-
ments of his genius. To the world
he was brilliant, distinguished,
sound it saw but his mental side.
To his intimates be was lecherous
and a libertine. He was one of
those contradictions so often known
to men; a lofty brain, towering
intellect, castled imagination, in a
body whose every impulse and de-
sire was bestial.
The cause of the crime was a
beautiful, brainless woman who had
been the playt ing of both men, as
has been many another rag and a
bone and hank of hair"
Thaw killed White for what he
himself had made the chief business
of his life. Hundreds of thousands
of dollars will be spent to save his
utterly useless life. and the public
will continue to follow and lap the
slime in the trail of the serpent

Historical Works,

A splendid example Of bookmaking Is
offered In the admirable historical mono
graph Of DR.. James Phinney Baxter. "A
Memoir Of Jacques CARTIER (Dodd, Mead
q Company. DR.. Baxter has translated
the Relation Originate of Cartier's first
voyage, the manuscript Of which IL also
presented in Photographic facsimile; he
has translated likewise one manuscript 40
count Of the second voyage and has ap-
pended from Hakluyt the fragment Of
the third voyage, the voyage of Robervai
and the ours of Jean Alphonse. He has
added important documents relating to
Cartier and his voyages. To all this he
has pro1xed a memoir Of the ~discoverer.
At the end is an elaborate photography.
The volume Is illustrated with contempo-
rary maps, a portrait and other pictures.
1t presents all the material that touches
on the disooverer OF the st. Lawrence In
q single volume. The publishers have
given it a worthy typographical dress.
Much interesting historical material re-
lating to the Irish in this country will be
found in Mr.. John D. Crimmins's sIrish-
American Historical Miscellany" (The Au-

lected many interesting genealogical facts

the Revolution and the War Of 1872, and
describes the days of sailing emigrant
ships. A large part Of his volume is de-
voted to the Friendly Sons Of St. Patrick
and their doings, which involves a lot of
interesting local history Of New York city.
At the end is a biographical dictionary Of
notable Irish-Americans. The volume will

U~nstFenuOus.

We nave pondered the opening remark
In Mr.. E. j. Hardy's book Of essays, what
Men Like IL Women" C. W. Dillingham;
Company. Mr.. Hardy here observes:
Love rules without swords and binds with
out cords" Why do we speak Of the poig-
nancies Of love and OF the bonds Of love?
What Imagination invented these things if
they do not exist? What was Cupid doing
with arrows. which are every bit as bad as
swords? Why does Venus lead her pigeons
with a string? We fear that Mr.. Hardy is
representing the condition Of love too gen.
erously, perhaps too thoughtlessly.
But we are not really offended. Nobody
could be offended. The book is made up Of
brief chapters, which are filed with plain
N suocinct statements and lovely aneo-
dotes. Bismarck was much indebted to his
wife. He said Of her: "She it is who made
me what l am" France and Austria, not to
speak Of Schleswig M Holstein, must nave
wished that somebody else had made him.
A rugged piece OF manufacture to be turned
out by a woman's hand. "She showed her
love for her husband in many practical
ways, not the least Of which was in defend
ing him from bores."
rsfaer wives Of great men were Of much
assistance to their husbands. when the
famous John Bright married his bride said
to him, John, attend to thy business and
thy public affairs, and I will provide for the
house and relieve thee from all care at home
This is the sort Of wife that enablas a man
to work and rule in court, in camp and in the
world generally
We are pretty sure that the anecdotes
are true, for we have heard most Of them
before, . AS to the title Of the book, the
author says that what men like in women
amounts to a variety. what men like In
wives depends upon what they want them
for" in the opinion Of most men sweet
implicitly is a great charm In woman"

mot guilty. is the verdict in
the case of The Public VS.. the Gen
us Dermacentor.
1t has been proven that the genus
dermacentor, otherwise known as
the sagetick, does not carry the
pyro plasmosis homines, otherwise
known as the germ of spotted few
er, - the disease which has scared a
good portion of eastern Idaho.
Not only has DR.. Ralph Matson,
bacteriologist of the Oregon state
board of health, determined that the
former theory of the cause of spot
ted fever" is wrong, but c. H.
Waddell Stiles, chief of the govern
ment division of zoology, is COM
pleting Investigations which will
confirm the new theory. For the
past two years it has been supposed
that the spotted fever" germ en-
tered the human body by the bite of
the sagetick.
The news was sent out from Bak-
er City this week that two cases of
''spotted fever had been found in
the sheep country. One was a
young woman teacher at Ironsides.
The other, a man, was believed to
be dying. In both cases it was
firmly believed that the sagetick
was to blame.
The body of the gopher, common
in many sections of this state, is
the normal habitat of the germ.
The sagebrush is the natural home
of the tick. The gopher, living
among the sagebrush, scrapes off
few score ticks, and the germs
speedily fasten themselves upon
the new inhabitant of the gopher's
fuzzy sides.
The sagetick is one of the most
vicious biters which ever attacked
the human body 1t is as big as a
grain of rice and shock full of activ-
ity It's bite produces considerable
pain, as the surrounding flesh is
poisoned and superation often en-
sues.
DR.. Matson rode 70 miles from
the railroad to visit a case of
spotted fever" in eastern Oregon.
1t was little girl, and after she
; became sick a tick was found or
her thigh. Her parents had read oil
the Chowning-Wil report ano
blamed the tick. A few days before
a gopher had been caught in {
trap. The little girls cat had kill
ed it. Then the child went dowr
with the fever.
DR.. Matson tested the child

which he had brought from Portland
e for the purpose, and admits that h

e of science. The most exacting test
;. failed to prove any connection be

was that the little girl never &c
