The Annual Murder Record.

FROM ffarper's weekly.
Everybody knows that this country has
very bad murder record. At present we
are having about nine thousand murders q
year. which is from eight to twenty-five
times as many in proportion to population
as such countries as England, France, Ger
many and Japan have. Why all this I'M
authorized killing? For many reasons,
which help to an understanding even though
they do not excuse. We have about nine
million negroes and a great many newly
imported foreigners, some of whom are
veW fmpulsive with weapons The negroes
kill pretty freely. Out of 1856 persons
1890, 2,739 were negroes and 1.213 were
foreign born whites. These two groups,
comprising one fourth Of the population, did
ur-seVenths of the murders. That left
forty-five millions Of people. which is not so
very bad. 1t will probably be found when
the census bulletin comes out, that the
IA ios of 1890 were maintained in 1900.
In recent years we have had large i'm
migration of Italians. including. 1t would
The Italians are very useful here, and the
good ones are very welcome. But average
Italians, good as they are. do not help much
in keeping down the murder ratio. They
have very obstinate ideas on that subject
We read that only one European country
has ever had worse murder record than
ours. and that Is Italy. We read, too. that
there was very lately dying at Fordham
been kicked nearly to death by some,<ef his
countrymen. Amputation was urged upon
him to save his life, but he declined, say
ing IF l live to get out, I shall kill my
assailants and then will die in the electric
chair. 1 might as well die now" One may
admire his reasoning and sympathiZe with
his feelings, but Italians Of his sort do not
help our murder statistics.

COLD PLATES AND HOT PLATES.
Former Still to Be Found, But the
Latter Spreading.
From the New York SUI


I'VE shall find" said Mr.. Plugginton
many cold plates. Lots of people seem to
regard hot plates superiority, or even
as an aHectation of style that is not to be
encouraged, and SO give you cold plates to
eat hot food from: thus really spelling
many a good meal.
/ ate dinner yesterday at a place where
the food is excellent and admirably cooked,
where everything they give you is good and
appetiZing and ample in supply, but where
the JOY of the meal was marred by cold
plates.
Just why they give you cold plates at
this place l don't know. but 1t is simply
the survival of an ancient custom, l guess
For hot plates are modern custom
Formerly people got along very we'll with
out them: but it is different now, when 1t is
so easy to provide them, even today, every
where to be found
You might eat today at the abundant,
the well-supplied and well-equipped table
of a family whose every member was the
personitiCatiOn of kindly grace and hospi-
tally, and yet find here your food served
to you on cold plates; rugged people, these
by whom. out of some feeling bred in the
days when luXuries were less common, hot
plates would still be considered as a mark
of concession to effeminacy. And by such
reason, indeed might the cold plates be
accounted for In some small hotels, off
the beaten track, though in many another
hotel their presence is due simply to slack
ness, indifference or failure to rise to
modern conditions.
But the hot plate. by no means a sign
of degeneracy. but one marking simply
and nationally desire to rise to our priv.
leges. is everywhere spreading; 1t will some
day everywhere prevail, and meanwhile
when we eat where 1t has not yet come let
us be grateful then for the food

THE REAL IRELAND.
Common Mistakes as to the Charac-
teristics of the Irish People.

IeTlSL1CS the 1r1Sn ScOple.
From the Outlook
The accepted Irish type of the masses
the stage Irishman-may be amusing. but
he smacks also Of Incidence. thriftlessness.
a tendency to drink and even lack of
certain primary virtues.
Fortunately, these failings are not charac-
teristic of the Irish people as a whole. In
every quarter of the globe Irish men and
women have shown themselves hard work
ers; II they have not displayed the same
energy at home 1t is because Of the general
agricultural oppression and depression, be-
cause OF insanitary dwellings and INSULT
cient food
AS to drink. contrary to the general sup
position, the Irishman spends less aver
age on 1T than does the Englishman or
Scot: moreover the Irishman spends more
on beer than spirits. the contrary being
true of the Scot.
Furthermore. and even more surprising
to many, statistics show the Irish to be
less criminally inclined than are the in
habitants of Great Britain: in particular,
as to sexual morality. the stranger in Ire
land is invariably surprised by the recti-
tude of the people.
In 1871 Ireland's population was esti-
mated at 100000; in 1901, at 400 900.
Thus in sixty years the population fell by
nearly 100000. Ameria has won what
Ireland has lost.
But this is not all. Quality as well as
generally been in life's full vigor; most of
those who have remained away have been
physically, mentally and industrially def
cient.
Meanwhile the burden Of taxation has
enormously increased. Is 1t surprising,
then, that, with the exception of France,
Ireland's birth rate should be now the low
est In the world?

WOMEN's WORK AT MINES.
Very Few Work Underground-1n
Africa They Garry Heavy Loads

From the Mining World
Until recently women were employed in
England in connection with surface work
In coal mining and brick works. The wom-
en- were found to be very strong. but they
were otherwise unsatisfactory and were I'LL
timately dispensed with at the colleries
The coal mines regulation act of Great
Britain prohibits woman labor being en-
ployed underground.
In German southwest Africa an nvesti-
gator found many native women at work
about the mines. They were useful in
carrying in loads, especially Of f1rewood
The woman labor was cheap, and as long
as they were left alone to take as much
time they liked over the work and do 1t
as they wished they were all right.
His next experience was higher up the
coast, in west Africa. Labor was short
and they decided to try women to carry
stones. They carried the first two loads
and then they struck
Those women quite altered the conditions
of carrying stones. They carried them for
q certain distance, but three or four relays
had to be provided. After that they were
tried at carrying sand and things like that
They went on for short while, but did the
work in fits and starts.
In another place. also on the west coast.
where women had been tried against the
black men, 1t was found that for carrying
in firewood they were by far the best and
cheapest. There. of course, they were on
piece work, although their tickets were
marked just the same as II they were on
day work
Their task was to carry in a cord of wood
a day. They used to start about 4:30 a. m.
and went on carrying until I and from 30
till or 10. Then If they wanted to get off
early the next day they used to carry an
other cord of wood in the afternoon or
part of it,
They were decided success, but they
were very particular as to whether the cord
of wood was exactly in what they called
their circle They did not mind how close
over their distance they would go to the
manager and want an increase directly.
Some women used to carry about 100
pounds on their heads: on an average about
eighty five to ninety five pounds of wood.

RAILWAYS AND THE SOUTH
MR.. LIVINGSTON DISCUSSES THE
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
Says People Have Been Made Angry,
But That They Will Give Fair
Treatment to All Lines.

Representative Livin gSton of Georgia mas
arrived in the city after long vacation
on his plantation Mr.. Livingston has not
figured actively in the great railroad hght
that has been in progress there during the
past several months.
'"The trouble in the south between the
people and the railroads. said Mr.. Living
ston today, lis the result of the disposition
on the part of the railroads to fight instead
of being conciliatory. If fighting is to be
the order of the day in the adjustment OF
our transportation questions that arise
from time to time, then somebody is likely
to get hurt. Now, what, the Southern rail-
way ought to have done in the case of the
North Carolina rate legislation was to S. m
ply go to Gov. Glenn and say they were
ready to have the question adjusted in the
courts, and with that understanding would
be willing to let the legislative rate Of
cents go into effect with the agreement
that in case the railway should win the
state would reimburse it for the loss Of
revenue sustained by accepting the lower
rate.
II have no doubt such an arrangement
: could have been made, and had it been
done there would have been no trouble in
having the legislature appropriate the
money to reimburse the road If the 2-cent
rate should be declared confiscatory by the
courts. But the railroad showed fight In
the first place, and the people got mad, and
Wnen people get mad they say and do a
great many things they would not do Ordi-
narily.
i think the railroads and the southern
people will get along all right. The people
OF the south are inclined to be fair, and
they Will not fail to act fairly in this mat
ter. The civil war was brought on because
or difference of opinion to the exact
degree of power possessed by the states and
by the national government. This rate con-
troversy is another instance Of the differ
ence of opinion on that subject. Gov. Glenn
thinks that with 10 per cent of the traffic of
MS state solely within it's borders, and 80
per cent interstate traffic, the state traffic
should control the whole Of it in the matter
OF the rate. Judge Jones takes the opposite
view. We will have to await the decision of
the courts to determine just where We stand
on this question.
The people of the south fully realize that
the prosperity of the people and of the
railroads Is 1nterdependent They will see
mat the railroads get a good chance to be
prosperous
