SPLENDID SCENE WHEN
NIAGARA IS ILLUMINATED

Buffalo in the throes of an old
home week celebration had to yield
to Niagara Falls. Magnificently IL
Illuminated, the falls were of beauty
that their daylight aspect has never
equaled. For the first time since Il
factory was erected to draw its power
from the rushing water the garish
outlines of the bleak brick buildings
were gone, and in their place, lighted
up by forty-four 30-inch searchlights,
were the falls in their old glory.
There was no moon when thou
sands of persons gathered on the
Canadian side. Nothing could be
seen of the falls. but the mighty
roar and the drifting spray told of
their presence. Suddenly a flash shot
across the river and danced for a
moment alone on the American falls
before dozen others joined it. In a
moment more all the great search
lights were focused on the great mass
of water, which truly shOne in the
light of its own glory, for it supplied
the power used.
Then the lights swung up to the
horseshoe in a rush of prismatic col
or. Every hue in the spectrum was
used, and words fail to describe the
magnificence of the spectacle. Some
| feared before the trial that there was
| to be Dissertation of nature, but the
natural wonder of the falls was SIM
Day enhanced. The sordid sights of
the factories and the hurdy-gurdies
of the hotels and restaurants were
banished. Presently the whi lie great
stretch of the falls was Il mass o.
color, the whirlng water beneath
was like pool of flame in the glow
of the red searchlights.
Then the lights leaped into the air,
to proclaim to Buffalo, to Toronto
and even Rochester. the triumph of
electrical genius. As the lights
leaped up they seemed to catch the
whirling spray of the cataract, and,
turning it to all the colOrs of the
railbow, to hurl it high into the air.
Later great bombs of black powder
were exploded before the Searchlight
batteries to form huge clouds of
white smoke As these clouds rolled
lazily upward, heavy of themselves
and with the spray they caught, the
searchlights shot through and
through them in iridescent streams
of multicolored light.
Mayor Douglass of Niagara Falls
n. Y, crossed to Canada to throw the
switch that threw the first light on
| the American falls. 1t is to his eff
forts that the success of the great
spectacle is due. When n. A. Ryan
of the General Electric company had
worked out the plan he went to vari-
Gus railroads and obtained promises
of support, but it was Mayor Doug
las who raised the money to insure
a trial for thirty days. If Niagara
Falls wants the illumination after
that-and there is little doubt that
it Wilt will pay for it. The New
York Central is greatly interested in
the venture. and took up special
party today to see the trial, includ-
ing several officers and a number OF
New York newspaper men. Vice
President Gerritt rort was in charge
in the absence of John c. Hammond
who is on his way to Europe. The
party saw the illumination from the
Clifton hotel.-New York Tribune

No department of government, GER
tainly none represented in the presi-
dents ca binet, is less open to partisan
political criticism than the depart
ment of agriculture. Sometimes
there is a hubbub about free seeds,
for which congress and not the de-
partment is responsible. Beyond
that the complaints are few and the
blessings are many. Secretary Will
son says that during the fiscal year
just ended the department has made
discoveries which will benefit the
American people to the extent of
millions of dollarS-a sum too vast
to calculate. Some of these discov
cries are patentable, and if the pat
ents were held by the discoveries
would make them rich. But all such
patents, after being taken out in the
name of the inventors, are dedicated
to the United States for the common
good.

JUSTICE AND SANITY.

There has been a great deal said
about the unwritten law. and IT is
held by many thinking people to jus
fifty murder which is indefensible.
True. life may be taken at times in
self-protection without violating di-
vine or human law, but for DELHI
crate homicide there is no excuse
whatever. 1t is, of course, eXasper-
ating almost beyond endurance TO
have the home despoiled by con-
scienceless monster who bears the
guise of man, but courts should deal
with him in civilized community
and give him his deserved punish
ment. When a man takes the law
into his own hands and puts an end,
with malice aforethought. to one of
his fellow beings, he is simply
barbarian, no matter what cause he
has for his bloody deed. The young
man who slew the supposed wronger
of his sister in this city, says the
Boston Budget, received a just SEN
tence, though there is sorrow that
he should have thrown away his
young manhood to become a perpet-
ual prisoner; but his punishment,
though severe, was deserved, and it
pulsive young men of fiery southern
blood who might be tempted to fol-
low in his unfortunate footsteps. The
case of Judge Loving of Virginia,
who was acquitted by a jury of the
crime of murder partially, apparent
", on the ground of sudden insan-
ity, and partly, no doubt, through a
reverence or regard for the unwrit-
ten law, is one in which it is widely
believed strict justice was not melted
out. In all probability, the young
man who was shot to death by an
irate father did not commit the deed
of which he was at first suspected,
but even if he did, his slayer, it seems
atty for his offense, and not have
gone entirely unwhipped by justice.
Then we have the story of a mother
and son who confessed that they
killed a young man because he re-
fused to wed the daughter of one
and the sister of the other, thereby
breaking a solemn promise that he
had made. This was, no doubt, mad
dening, but the provocation was no
excuse for the homicidal act or a
good moral reason for their acquitt-
al. When brutes walk on two legs
the law of the land, as has been well
said, does not allow us to butcher
them, and the sooner this is realized
by those who claim the unwritten
law as defense the sooner shall
we have a return to sanity in the
treatment of aSSaSSinS
