1.-THE words quoted in your first ques-
ton were uttered on the steps of the Sub
Treasury in Wall street, New York, on
April 16, 1865, after the news of Lincoln's
murder had become known, by james A
Garfield, the man who was fated to die
also by the hands Of al assassin and
while filling the post of chief executive at
Washington, sixteen years later. Garfield
was then a Congressman, having resigned
his commission as major general, U. s.
A., In December. 1868, and taken his seat
in the House as a Representative from
Ohio. (9 The reference TO the cat In the
adage'' has been connected with one OF
John Heywood's proverbs, which reads:
The cat would cate fish, and would not
wet her ~feete.'' This seems a satisfactory
source of Shakespeare's

sEIF-ExoNERAT1oNFo THE BOARD.

The board of managers of the State
Hospital for the Insane has displayed
more energy in seeking self vindhcation
than 1t exhibited in a whole year of
Encouragement. If 1t had Used the
same zeal in behalf of the twelve hum
dred insane patients that 1t has shown
since DR.. Ward gave his sensational
testimony there never would have been
n reason for investigation of the hos
pital affairs and the fifteen victims Of
typhoid would probably be alive today.
Yesterday the board formally exon
Grated the doctor who ran away from
his typhoid patients to attend to his
private affairs, and also the doctor who
failed to report to Mrs. Silvers the
death of her husband. 1t appears that
there is official red tape in the hospital,
inc If a man disregards a humane duty
and sticks to red tape he is entirely
bIameless. But the chief business Of
the board yesterday was to show that
the typhoid epidemic didn't proceed
from the filthy COW stables, or the dung
heaps. or the contaminated milk cans,
and that 1t wasn't spread by the man.
agerial practise of having the hospital
bread.an and the infected linen of the pa
tients hauled in the same wagon. The
managers could see nothing out of the
way in using the patients wash bowls
in the wards for washing places for ves-
sells fouled by excreta. oh. no! The
cause for the epidemic came from the
outside, and it existed in the city
that runs along the street outside the
hospital walls.
That moribund body, the State Sew
erage Commission, which has lately
been under the probe and the public
criticism comes bravely forward at this
critical juncture. Typhoid fever has
ragged in the hospital for three months.
and the commission has calmly gone its
way and drawn it's monthly salaries
without paying the least attention to
the question whether a State institu-
TONS water supply was contaminated
by sewage. 1t is evident that a Mace
,6oziian cry for help from the board of
la reached the commissioners.
There is a fellow feeling among State
boards, and Ii becomes acute when they
are under investigation and criticism.
But granting that the city sewer
helped to pollute the hospital well, the
fact does not help the case of the man.
agement. The facts remain as TO the
criminal neglect in the hospital grounds
and in the dairy, and it remains also to
be explained why tests were not made
at intervals to make sure that the
drinking water used by twelve hundred
patients was not a conveyance of dis
ease germs. The board of in
a rage peremptorily dismissed DR.. Ward,
not because he had been negligent, not
because of the epidemic, nor yet be-
cause of the murder of Enoch Silvers;
but simply because his sworn testimony
in the investigation reflected upon the
board. And now the board is putting
forth supreme efforts to clear itself and,
incidentally, save the warden his official
job.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
What is the origin of the name "Picca-
dilly,' referring to the well-known London
street? i. M. G.
Nothing is known of the origin of the
street name "Piccadfly." In his Glosso-
graphia, published in 1851, Blount states:
THE street in London known as Picca-
dilly is said to take its name from an or
binary so-called, near st. James, built by
one Higgins, a tailor, who made most of
his money by piccadillies' 1.-THE high, stiff
collars in vogue at that time), and that
etymology was long current.

A New York Judge touring Europe spent one day lately in
an English court, and his observations prompted him to contrast
the methods there and in his home city, to the disadvantage
of the latter. He pointed out that under the British system
there could be no such judicial buresques as were witnessed in
the Nan Patterson and the Thaw trials.
Our legal friends across the Hudson need not go to Europe
to learn some things about the proper manner of conducting
trials. Let them come to New Jersey. The Courts in this
State don't permit harequins of the law to make a mockery
as fairness will warrant; extraneous testimony is barred, gallery
plays are sternly frowned upon and there is a general dispo
shion among both judges and lawyers to have the proceedings
orderly and as free from scandal as the merits of the case will
permit. J N.

LOST HoNoRED NAME.
Teddy Bear Was Very Nearly Named
Teddy Roosevelt.

LONDON DAILY MAIL; Feb. 25,-
The only name he was able TO give
was Teddy" He was eighteen, bright
OF face and pleasing Of speech. but alb
solutely ignarant of ever having a.
surname. and he had no notion who
his parents We're or whether the were
living or dead His earliest recollec-
tions were those OF living In Devon
shire with his grandmother but in
what place or what the grandmother's
name was had treacherously slipped
from his memory. AT seven or there
abouts he came to London. in whose
company he could ont recollect. and
since then, for a dozen years, he had
gained his living as best he could.
Brought before Magistrate Plowden,
London's most noted police judge, on
a charge Of misdemeanor, this youth
without name or family tie quite won
the sympathy OF the court so your
name is only Teidy?" said the judge.
Il have an idea,' he continued as a
smile broke out at the corners OF his
mouth and mounted to the roots Of
his hair, that you ought TO be chris
tened, even late as 1t Is in your child
hood. The name that suggests itself
In connection with Teddy Is Roosevelt,
but inasmuch as your dmanner Of liv-
ing affords no guarantee against your
bringing such a proud patronymic in
to iisrepute the court will have re-
course TO another name which sug-
gests itself as fitting, and accordingly
christen thee Teddy Bear" And SO

CITY OF STRANGERS.

from somewhere else and openly brags
az allen attachments. There are the
Sons and Daughters Of every State in
the Union, and few others, who in
the Office and on the street, at annual
bauquets and more frequent smokers
and teas sing the altogether desira
bleness Of the Elsewhere so loudly
and insistently that the patient but
sorely tried and forgotten Gothamite
wonders what can be the matter with
elsewhere as a place of permanent res
idence But there Is limit even to
patience, and at last New York Is TO
have club for New Yorkers exclu-
sively. The credit for the scheme, like
that for many another a brilliant idea,
belongs TO a group Of brave women,
who contend that 1t Is just as credita
BILE 10 be native Of New York as to be
a native Of any other old place. 1t Is
to be woman's club in the most par
ticular sense Of the word, and the en-
tertanment Of men guests will be linn
tied strictly to the second Sunday eve
ming Of each month. Whenever a
member develops a case Of masculine
J friendship that seems to require great

pected to take it elsewhere: The busi-
ness meetings for the purpose Of com
pairing notes on these and other affairs

! cry month at the Hotel Astor In Long
acre Square. All the feminine best Of
the city Is expected to join the club,
which already has a membership past
the half hundred mark, it Is asserted;
but this surprising statement Is ac-
counted for by the fact that five years

tailed explanation OF the financial
transactions which he has been con-

Mr.. Hartman, 1t was said yesterday.
will not attempt to evade any Of the
inquiries. which, 1t has been suggested,
the attorneys for the commission might
very reasonably institute He reali-
zes, 1t was said, the importance of max
ing a complete explanation Of all mat
ters upon which the managers Of the
Southern Pacific systems, and its var
ious subsidiaries, has been criticised,
and prepared a complete history Of
his financial relations and other con-
nections with the railroads in which
he is interested. The history he will
give freely, 1t was said without prod
ing by the commissions attorneys.

preparations for the session. They
would not discuss their plans yesterday
but it is understood they feel well
pleassl with the progress they have
made so far.
The examination Of Mr.. Hartman
will without doubt take up all the time
today, but how much longer than that
depends entirely upon developments

Of his willingness to testify at length
his examination may be considerably
prolonged.
