Let those who insolently assert
that the Latin peoples are incapable
of governments and progress cease
their TRADES, is the admonition of the
New York Tribune. The dispatch
from Mexico stating that the Chi
huahua dog is becoming extinct in its
native land proves conclusively that
the Latins can grapple victoriously
with even the greatest evils. When
we consider that American dog fan.
ciers pay 500 for good specimens
of this geological atrocity, while ouI
southern neighbors are letting the
breed perish off the face of the earth
we humbly withdraw all claims tc
Anglo-Saxon superiority.

From Edward T. Parker, Govern.
ment coal expert at Washington
comes warning of the limitation oi
the anthracite age. The hard coa'
deposits of the United States, he says
will be exhausted practically in sew.
enty-five years. The product will
never be cheaper than it is now. Mr.
Parker's estimate is based upon cur.
rent rates of consumption. These
may be largely modified in the near
future by fresh inventions and
changes in power development. The
advice for the practice of fuel econ.
omy formulated for the Geological
Survey by Engineer Dwight T. Ran.
dali is nevertheless pertinent and i'm

WilIiam wales a Suicide.

William Wales, sixty-nine years
old, wealthy retired manufacturer
of stereopticons, living at Leonia
Heights, died in the Englewood Hos
pital from self-inf1icted wounds.
Wales cut his throat, severing the
wind pipe, and slashed his wrist with
razor. He fell unconscious at his
wife's feet when she opened the door.
Only DR.. Wyler's efforts for five
hours saved Wales from dying at
the time, the wind pipe being Joined
by silver tube. Wales was twice
married. He leaves three grown
children by his first wife, and three
year-old son by his second wife. Mrs.
Wales is much younger that her hus-
band, and it was said that it was in
sane jealousy on his part that led to
the suicide. The family had just re-
turned from Europe, and the manu-
facturer seemed in good spirits and
in excellent health. Though con-
scious before he died, he refused to
say why he cut his throat.

The train cut the lads body to pieces,

proach of the train. The musical

hand when the body was picked up.
