Sentence of death has been pro-
nounced by the supreme court of
Korea upon one of it's country's dele
gates to the Hague tribunal and life
Imprisonment upon the other two.
The lot of a dignitary in Korea is a
precarious one-today he is favorite
at court, tomorrow a prisoner or an
outcast. The deputies to the Hague
were sent forth by one emperor but be-
fore they had time to get back an
other had taken possession of the
throne. Thus the sentences. To re-
main in this country is the decision of
the princes, but as they have little
money they will either have to work
for living or sell themselves to
American heiresses who are looking
for titles. They will find the latter
much the easiest of the two PROPOSE
tons.

Investigation by the grand jury into
the rebating charges against the Chi
cago and Alton Railroad company
has been postponed by Judge Lands
to September 3. This action of the
judge has been taken in accordance
with instructions from Attorney Cen
eral Bonaparte, who will examine the
transcript of the record in the Stand
ard Oil case and decide therefrom
whether the railroad company shall
be granted the immunity it was prom
ised upon condition that it testified
against the Rockefeller combine.
This seems to have been a case
wherein the evidence of one unscrup-
ulous combine was necessary to con.
vict another. Thus the means taken
promise of immunity seems to Justify
the end sought.

Dean Matthews of the University of
Chicago divinity school, in an ad-
dress at the New York chautauqua as
sembly shot this at hypocrites of the
Rockefeller stripe:
"The devotion of ill-gotten wealth

hypocrisy if it be not accompanied by
an abandonment of Legitimate meth

There is no such thing as burglar
proof safe, if a claim made in a con-
sular report to the state department is
true. This report says that cracksmen
now use steel fuses under the blowpipe
fame of an acetylene generator
charged with calcium carbide, water
and compressed oxygen, and that such
flame is so intense that it eats through
steel as an ordinary gas jet does
through lead. The old stocking in
the chimney appears to be as safe as
any place for our accumulation of
filthy lucre.
