'In the multitude of counsellors there is safety" and in the multitude of words there is wisdom-if the words are rightly chosen and rightly animal ed. Tomorrow afternoon at Woolsey Hall there will be a multitude of words which cannot fail to have wisdom in them, because those who will utter them will fill them full of it. They are men who can do it, and they will, of course, make special effort to have the first Sunday meeting of the Assoei- ated Societies of New Haven impressive and improving, So we heartily advise all who like to hear good and wise words to be on hand. You may learn something about your duties to the community, the State, the country and the world that you don't know, or if not you may be stirred to do your known duty better The noble Hall in which the meeting will be held has been often filled with sweet and grand music this winter, but no music that has filled it has been sweeter or. grander than the music that will fill it tomorrow after noon-the music of aspiration and prog ress. Go and give ear unto 1t.

LIFE, FOR BURGL4iRY

Burglars in Ohio and those who in- tend to become burglars in Ohio have just had chance to learn something They can learn that they may get sen- fenced to prison for life if they do bus mess in inhabited houses, and they can learn what an inhabited house is. Ohio has law which gives burglar a life sentence if he is convicted of burglari- zing an inhabited dwelling hous2. Two men-W. b. Mason and Fl. G. Sawell- were convicted before Judge Spiegel and jury on the charge of burglari- zing the residence of Prof. Walker. The family was absent at the time and the servant had gone across the street on some errand when the burglars were caught. It was claimed before Judge Spiegel-who promptly overruled the point-that the house not being inhab- tied at the time of the burglary, a life sentence could not be inflicted Judge Spiegel held that the house was inhab- ited within the meaning of the statute, the absence of the occupants being merely temporary The Circuit court reversed the ruling and awarded a new trial, From that decision the State took an appeal to the Supreme court which reverses the Circuit court and sustains the ruling of the Common Pleas court.
 This is justice, and it is pleasing that it is law in Ohio. A burglar who goes into an inhabited dwelling house may not be a murderer in intent when he goes in, but he has to be ready to do almost anything if he gets surprised.

THE ERENnH S0crA1ISrs.

The special correspondent in Berlin of the Echo de Paris, in a special dis patch the other day said that the un- yielding attitude of Germany in the Mo- roeean dispute was due chiefly to the support afforded her by M Jaures and the Socialists, If war should come, he added, out of the dispute it would arise from the zeal with which M. Jaures as- sured the German diplomats of the le- gitimacy of their pretensions. Refer ring to this statement, the Paris cor respondent of the London Times re- marks that it is based upon complete
 misapprehension, inasmueh as the So- cialist influence in the French Chamber has almost disappeared. In support of this he quotes a recent incident in the Chamber when the reporter of the war budget described the Socialists as dem- agogues of peace. It was their fault, he said, if the war credits had not been properly applied during Gen. Andres administration, and he directly taunt- ed them with having nearly exposed France to armed aggression. M.
 Jaures retortsd that the Socialists had saved France during the Fashoda epi- sode from the same ''bellicose. folly and absurdity" as was now being displayed in the Moroccan affair. Nearly the en- tire Chamber cheered the reply of the reporter: "Follies and absurdiuss! The sacrifices necessary to preserve our

4 MODERN INCIDENT.

In old times an ass was used to bring Balaam to repentance, and in these new times a mule has been used to bring a murderer to repentance. That is an in- teresting tale which comes from Ala bama, and if it is not true it ought to be. A triple murder near Cottonwood stirred several counties, and citizens of fered $2,50O reward for the capture of the murderers. A detective from Chi cago hid in the woods near Cottonwood and posed as an escaped murderer from Georgia. He hired a negro whom he suspected to bring his meals to a spot near where he also concealed a ventril- oquist. A mule grazing in the woods was made by the ventriloquist to talk to the negro, whose superstition was worked upon until he confessed the de- tails of the murder to the mule. The detective overheard the confession and has arrested two negroes, and more arr rests are expected.
 We don't know how the higher criti- cism has treated the Balaam incident, but the use of ventriloquism and the mule in Alabama is certainly smart.
