The Public and the Director.


More important than statutory re-
form for the future of life insurance is
the reform of reason and moral senti-
ment, declares Francis G. Lowell in
Atlantic. We must come to consider
unpaid officers who give their time to
public affairs as persons making a
charitable contribution to the welfare
Of the community. The corporate
members and the directors of an insur-
ance company, like the corporate mem
bers and directors of a savings bank,
must consider themselves, and must
be considered by others, to be engaged
In a work OF public charity. A savings
bank, indeed. is supposed to be re-
ceptacle for the savings of the poor,
though the supposition is not always
true while a life insurance company
rs a receptacle for the savings of some
~ell-to-do or even rich. Charitable or
public service, however, may be rem
dered, even where some beneficiaries
are able to pay for the service. Where
the well being OF the community, or Of
many Of its members, requires great
service rendered alike to rich ard
poor, those fitted to render it may be
asked to give their labor without pay,
Af, for any reason, that is more CON
'venient. This Is the rule with col
aeges and libraries. art museums and
hospitals.

Why Some Countries Are Uninhablte

Why Some Countries Are Uninhabited.
A mere glance at our maps i'm
presses a few general facts upon us.
We see that the largest areas of the
unknown are now in lands that are too
dry, as In the Sahara, the desert of
Arabia, and the steppes of Mongolia;
lands that are too wet and hot, slim
ulating almost impenetrable forest
growths, as In parts of the Amazon
and Congo basins; lands that are too
cold and bleak, as portions of the
northern areas of America and Asia
Even the characteristics of the inhab-
ttants influence the extent of the un.
explored. In proportion to total area
says Cyrus G. Adams in Harpers
Monthly, there is more unknown sur
face in Liberia than in any other po-
titical subdivision of the world, be-
cause the Liberians, content to live
along the coast. have scarcely entered
their vast forest mazes, though they
TEEN with rubber and other resources.

SaU the ASS ma zcn
of Presi lent Lincoln
Diary of DR.. Charles S. Taft, ece7tiy DISCOVERED in
Neuu York, Is a Ren arkab SOUVENIR of the
Great Tragedy of April IN, 1865.

A remarkable souvenir OF the assas-
sination of Abraham Lincoln recently
same to light in New York. 1t is the
pocket diary of DR.. Charles S. Taft,
who formerly resided at No. 273 West
rwenty-second street In his time
Or. Taft was an eminent physician
and attended many notables, among
them Governor o. p. Morton of Indi-
ana But no experience in his life
squaled the one he records in his note
book.
He was present at Ford's Theatre
that fatal night and witnessed all of
the tragedy which ended in the death
sf Lincoln. He was one of the first
physicians to reach the wounded pres
dents side, was present at his death,
and helped to perform the autopsy.
Or. Tafts personal account of these
occurrences is embodied in his notes,
which evidently were never intended
Tor publication.
The diary was found in a pile of
miscellaneous scraps in the baling
room Of the Salvation Army Industrial
Home, at No. 52S West Thirtieth
street.
The army home has fifteen wagons,
Zach having its own territory. These
make daily trips throughout the city
collecting waste material of all kinds
which householders are glad to get
I'D Of. The wagons discharge their
loads every evening at the warerooms
Of the Industrial Home.

such an absurdly slow pace as 10 make
rhe quayers in the bass correspond ex-

they could, while Won Buelow accei.

General Demand

Of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; q laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to them TO be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir Of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-lnformed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents

THE IHAw CASE.

That the jury in the notorious Thaw
case has failed to agree, and been dis
charged, is a cause for sincere regret
by every decent man and woman who
has kept In touch with the proceed
ings Of which there is no parallel in
Cont records.
If for no other reason the regret is
deep rooted in those Of any degree Of
responsibility. because the public must
DE dragged through this awful thing
again. That the press OF the country
must print such testimony as was
given and will again be heard in
court is to be deplored.
The jury failed to agree--fve were
for acquittal, seven for Thaw death.
While the general public did not
clamor for Harry Thaw's death, the
better class OF ii did cry out for a
few years imprisonment for the man
who, although a degenerate, let his
passions rule his life. Had the jury
given a Eve or ten years sentence in
Al0 FnhAt'hAAti1f tho law WouAd5 III n
measure, have been justified.
No man has right 10 kill another
in cold blood. IL man is going to
take the law in his own hands there
cannot and will not be any law.
Stamford White, the victim, may
have been a very bad man. lie was
not here to defend himself and all the
things said Of him may not have been
true. There must have been some
good in the man who was such an
architect, such a genius. lie could not
have been all bad. a living dog is
always better than n dead lion. But
this disagreement OF the jury. viii re-
suit in n rotrial, from which the pub
lie shrinks. No case has done more
TO spread the germ of immortality, TO
disseminate vulgarity and unelean-
ness than the Thaw case.
Young boys and girls, scarcely in
their teens, have read the infamous
proceedings OF this trial as published
in the daily metropolitan press
throughout the country and have
learned evil that their grandmothers
never dreamed of, and now they will
be privileged to learn more of it by
the re-trial next fail, when the vile
testimony will be reproduced.
The expense this case has cost New
York is a small matter compared with
the immortality it has disseminated
and the publicity crime of the most
hoinous-thc crime of selling and buy
ing woman's virtue. of bartering in
human souls has been spread broad
cast. The re-trial of Harry Thaw,
the degenerate and the woman neces-
sarily involved in the case. must be
regretted by the whole world, and is
another instance of "Dementia Amer
