To Those Who Wish Their Address Changed

Quite a number of people have
lately moved or expect to move
soon, especially in the rural dis
trlcts, many of whom take pa
pers and desire to have their ad-
dress changed. To those who
read The WATcHMAN and desire a
change in their address now, or
any time in the future, we would
request that they govern them
selves by this very simple rule:
GIVE YOUR OLD ADDRESS AND YOUR
NEW ONE. Your old address is
just as necessary as the new one.
The reason for this is to save
time. To look up a name in a
list of several thousand would
take several hours time, besides
there may be parties by the same
name at different Offices, or on
different routes of the same office.
Another suggestion: should you
really move from one part Of the
county to another, why not, in
your letter, tell the editor about
it and give him a chance to men
ton the fact. Your friends
would be glad to know where you
have gone. or. perhaps the sheriff
might want to see you. Send us
the news.

Missed Holes.

As every one familiar with mining
camp life knows, missed hole" eX-
plosions send many poor fellows to
premature graves and through life
hopeless cripples. These accidents
could be avoided by using an explo-
siye costing considerably less than
dynamite, which was experimental
with in the construction of the Sim
plon tunnel, made of soaking meal or
powdered charcoal in liquid air or
liquid oxygen, the powdered carbon
being first packed into a case made
of stout paper and covered with an
asbestos wad, through which passes a
paper tube to the bottom of the cart
ridge. Just before firing the liquid
air is poured into the tube, and the
firing is as usual by means of full
inmate cap. AS the liquid air gradu-
ally evaporates, the period between
filling and firing is limited to below
10 minutes. A missfire is not dan
gerous, because at the end of half
an hour the liquid has entirely disap-
peared and the cartridge may again
be handled with safety. The use of
this economical explosive had to be
in the tunnel by reason of
the quantities of carbon mon-oXide
which it produced in the CONSTRUCTED
space.

THE DOG AND THE CRIMINAL.

The introduction of dogs into the
tracing of criminals in New York and
other American cities is now appar-
emily only a question of months. So
much has recently occurred, both in
this country and abroad, to substan-
tiate the claim for great efficiency on
the part of dogs in ferreting out those
guilty of murder and other heinous
crimes that the burden of proof is
already upon those who would deny
the value of the canine detective.
While Belgium seems to have been
the first country to give the dog
thorough trial in tracing fugitives
from justice, so successful We're the
experiments, especially in Client,
that France, Austria and Holland
have since followed this example. In
France has been developed burg
lar-hunting hound whose work is not
only remarkable for dog, but sur
passing that of the police themselves
in certain difficult eases. Police dog
competitions, even, are being held at
this time in Paris and, judging by
the cabled reports, feats quite aston
ishing to the police themselves, while
crowds watch the animals whenever
they appear on the streets.
There is already a training-school
for dogs in tracing and detective
work in New York state, and their
efficiency has been tested from time
to time in one of the smaller cities.
Hounds and especially young blood
hounds are found to be apt pupils
here as they have been abroad. They
seem to be especially able to pick up
a trail already days old and to run
it down with remarkable assurance.
But the capacity for training in this
matter is by no means confined to
any one breed, for there have been
some remarkable deeds in detective
work performed by mongrels picked
up as strays in our cities. Nearly
every police department has records
and stories of Just such dogs.
The value of dogs as auXiliaries in
/ the life-saving work that deyolyes or
| the police who patrol every water
front has long been understood, and
i by careful encoura cement, could be
easily increased. 1t would seem
j therefore that by his watchfulness,
/ his skill in saving life from drowning
/ and his possibilities in tracing Grim
/ inals, the trained dog is eminently
] fitted for place on the auxiliary po-
! lice force. We are prepared to be-
/ lieve the report that Commissioner
Bingham is already favorably regard
ing him as a candidate for duties on
the force.

When the occasion for real leader
ship arises, a real leader will appear.
1t is easy to understand the source
of Senator Platts misconception of
the situation. Seeing the Republican
party without boss he very natu-
rally looks upon it as leaderless,
drifting, going to wreck and, quite
as naturally, he fancies that the re-
enthroning of deposed and discred-
tilted boss is the only thing that will
rehabilitate it, and he is probably too
old and too fast chained to political
traditions ever to learn better.

TALES TERSELY TOLD OF
The MEN OF THE HOUR

One of the most apthetic features
of Richard Mansfield's last illness
was the lively interest he took in the
conditions of health of his friends.
He was almost constantly inquiring
about this, that and the other-par-
ticularly regarding a few who hap
pened, like himself, to be Frustrated
with dangerous maladies. 1t was not
the morbid curiosity of sick man.
but the sympathetic solicitude of one
who loved much where he loved at
all.
1t SO happened that about the time
he reached the Adirondacks he learn
ed of the serious illness of the two
Frenchmen who, out of the whole ma
ton, had most attracted his affec-
lions and imagination-Fra
Coppee and Edmond Rostand. BY a
strange coincidence the twain were
stricken down by the same disease,
an intestinal affection, and almost at
the same hour, though far apart in
Europe Literary and artistic Paris
was agitated over their condition.
Both are members of the French
Academy and the outcome was await
ed with anxiety by all cultured
Frenchmen.
But by no Frenchman was it await
ed with a keener watchfulness than
by the remarkable genius, half poet
and dramatist himself, whose light
was burning out on this side of the
Atlantic and whose fate was in turn
matter of profound concern to Cop
pee and Rostand.
He insisted upon learning all he

sages to each, when it was he and
not they who was the more in need
of the Sustenance of friendship. ct
this was Mansfield's way to an eX-
tent greater than the public will ever
know.
So far as the two Frenchmen are
concerned, the latest Paris journals
to reach New York describe them as
convalescent. But the news regard
ing them helps to point a moral
Rostand, it seems, has done only
occasional literary work of late and
| has been living at Cambo amid sur
roundings much too luxurious for a
man who had spent so large part
of his early life in perjury. While
yet he was poor, he had the poor
mains digestion. Since 'L'Aiglon'
and "Cyrano de Bergerac" brought
/ him enormous returns he has chang
! ed his manner of living for the worse.
Today he is a bon vivant such as
might have belonged in the second
empire. He does no writing, takes
no exercise, refuses to think consec-
utively-say his friends. Altogether
a gloomy tale is told of his intellec-
tual deterioration since he attained
fame. Rostand is a man whom sue
cess has spoiled.
With Coppee at siXty-fve the case
is different. Nearly a quarter of a
century has passed since he entered
the Academy. In all that period
despite increasing reputation and
wealth-he has lived simply and la
boriously. Though not an anchorite
he is as worthy specimen of plain
living and high thinking as modern
France presents. Mansfield used tc
moralize brilliantly on such contrasts
as this.
