The Open Railroad Vestibule.

For the second time since the Union
station In this city was occupied a woman
passenger was yesterday thrown from a
train in its passage through the tunnel
which gives entrance and egress to the
southern traffic. Her death resulted and
an inquest will be held to ascertain the
circumstances and fix the responsibility.
1t has been stated that the vestibule door
had been left open and that the woman,
in passing from the dining car to an
other coach, was flung sideways as the
train rounded a curve and fell to the
track, where she received mortal inju-
ries. If this is found to be the case-as
it seems also to have been true in the
other instance-measures should be re-
liably adopted forthwith to prevent re-
currences. If the porters or brakemen
are in the habit of christening the vesti-
bule doors on approa ching the station the
passengers are exposed to heavy risk,
without warning. The adoption of the
vestibule has served as guarantee to
the passenger against accident and no
longer is passage from car to car. on Il

soundly rebuked on all sides. Many citi-
Zens who were wavering between support
and opposition were driven by this exhibit
ton of absurd partisanship to the gov
ernor's side
Yesterday the governor visited the fair
at WATERFOWL and delivered an address
The New York Tribune's report of the
occasion contains this passage:
The horsemen and the fair manage
ment discussed all day yesterday what
should be done with reference to the
races. The horsemen announced that I'M
der no conditions would they take their
horses out of the barns If the governor
spoke here. The management informed
them that if d hey did not race today they
could take their horses off the grounds,
adding that they would be barred from
starting in any race tomorrow, the last
day of the fair, should they attempt It,
not start the matter would be taken up
with the National Trotting Association.
They were told that Gov. Hughes had
been invited and that the fair manage
ment would see that he was not sighted
or snubbed by any followers of the races
This caused the horsemen to see the
matter in another light. Then the man
agement requested that, as 1t had given
in to the horsemen to the extent of not
having the governor speak at the race
ttdCh 81 dliOSldHu, WHERE Tic tIO"uS Couii
sit down, but asked him to appear in the
fair grounds, where everybody was obliged
to stand, two races be run before the gov
ernor spoke. and an intermission of half
an hour be then declared so that all pres
ent might hear him. This request the
horsemen refused, and the races went on
while the governor was speaking
Such conduct proves that the governor
is fight in his determination to reform
the race track. 1t is now in the hands of
men who are wholly indifferent to the
public welfare. who are devoid of sense
of the proprietes of life. who look upon
the people as their natural victims and
the once splendid sport of horse racing as
means to the end of taking other peo-
pies money. The best thing that can
happen to the sport itself will be its per-
manent rescue from such hands. Mean
while every .'snub' administered to Gov
Hughes at the county fairs makes votes
for him.

Folly at the Fairs,

Gov. Hughes is fortunate in his enc
mics. He is receiving no more valuable
aid from his supporters in the fight for
law enforcement and reform in New York
state than from those who are bitterly
opposed to his policies and are fighting to
prevent his denomination. The governor
is just now swinging around the circle
visiting the various county fairs. in his
capacity as the chief executive of the
state. Naturally this brings him into
direct connection with the horse racing,
which constitutes conspicuous feature
OF the fairs. At one of the places, about
the first on the circuit, the race managers
refused to run the events as long as the
governor was in the grounds, thinking
thus to rebuke him for his interference
with their business OF gambling. The
churliEhness of this action was imme-
diately recognized and was promptly and

Grotesque Crime.

There is point in crime at which the
tragic merges into the grotesque, and
that point was reached and passed in the
case of the Boston man who. having
slain his wife, sought to dispose of her
body by cutting it into small pieces for
convenient and safe disposal. AS for the
murder itself it was probably neither
more nor less barbarous than any other
uxorcide. There are only slight degrees
OF difference between such killings, all
being brutal in the extreme. In this case
the mans whole thought after the crime
was to evade it's consequences. This is
perfectly normal impulse. an instinct of
self-preservation. And naturally this inn
pulse leads to some methods that are
outrageous to the normal sense. There
was Luetgert, the Chicago sausage maker,
for an instance, who tried to dissolve his
wife's body in vat by means of acids.
He neglected, however, TO dispose of the
horrid mass which remained after the
chemicals had done their work and when
an investigation was instituted. upon the
growth of suspicion that Mrs. Lutegert
had met with foul play, the police found
in the vat ring and portions of certain
small joint bones. These bones were at
the trial identified by scientists as human
and Luetgert was convicted and executed
Trunks play an important part in the
plans of murderers who are trying to
dispose. of the bodies of their victims
Quite recently mans dismembered
corpse was found in trunk in Pennsyl-
vania and now his wife, son and daugh-
ter are in custody awaiting trial for the
crime. So common is this device that the
trunk murder has come TO be recog
nized as distinct class. The Boston case
differs only in degree of preparation from
the ordinary case. The slayer displayed
marvellous fortitude and nerve. Probably
in such case fear of the gallows drives
out all other sensibiities. The body of
the dead is regarded merely as a menace
10 life, TO be destroyed, and without the
slightest sentimental significance. The
wielder of the knife is an elemental man,
struggling for physical salvation.
There Will continue to be such horrible
crimes and shocking methods of con-
cealment long human passions con-
tinuc TO rise beyond restraint. The "bru-
taIity of the aftermath is in no sense
TO be rated as a reflection upon the mod
crn civilization. For the murderer is
bat reversal to the primal type and
what he does after Staying Is simply in

Souvenir Thieves Busy.

From Tie Philadelphia Inquirer.
1t seems that the souvenir hunting
craze is worldwide, and that it is not only
Americans who fail to draw the line at
stealing when this foolish mania pos
sesses them. According to recent dis
patch from Sydney, n. S. W., they do
the same thing in the antipodes, for after
the reception which took place on board
the flagship Connecticut it was discov-
cred that large number of the spoons
and forks which had been on the table
had disappeared. We are not in a position
to throw any stones at the Australians
for. the misconduct Of which they have
been guilty, for we live in glass houses
ourselves but it may not be out of Or
der and it may possibly be helpful to re-
mark once more that this is nothing more
or less than petty larceny, the same kind
of petty larceny for which under circum-
stances which are only specifically diff
ferent people are regularly being sent to

Sackyille and De LONE.

Lord Sackvillc survived his dismissal
from tho post of British minister at this
capital twenty years. There was always
some sympathy for the man, although
founded upon no attempted excuse Tor
the letter which undid him. But because
he was trapped for political purposes py
the one side, and sent out of the country
for political purposes by the other slue'
there were those who felt that upon the
whole he had been hardly used. He had
volunteered nothing. nor in any way
shown the spirit of busybody.
Ii was a fact, too. that what Lord Sack
VILE had told his correspondent in a prl-
vate letter was current in the open cam
paign charges of the day. The repuDll-
cans were declaring that a vote for Mt.
Cleveland would be vote for free trade
and be welcomed as such by British COM
mercial interests. Lord Sackville had
been reading that opinion in his news
papers every day. and so when called
upon contidentially for an opinion OF his
own echoed the American opinion, with
which he was familiar. He did wrong, for
il was none of his business to express an
opinion about the matter, even contiden-
TALLY, to man having d vote.
Still except for the exigencies of the
existing campaign, it is to .e doubted II
the distinguished offender would have
been dealt with as severely as he was.
Mr.. Cleveland was having hard shedding
in New York, and the Sackville letter vas
telling over there. AS an appeal to the
Irish vote of that state Mr.. Cleveland, in
a grand stand play, bounced the British
minister. But it was to no purpose. He
lost the state and the election, and LETT
the White House soon after Lord Sack
vile had settled down in disgrace on his
English estate.
De Lome's offense some years later diff
fered- from this. He had volunteered the
insulting opinion he had expressed in a
letter about President Mckinley. While
receiving as the Spanish minister here
consideration at the Presidents hands he
mad sbeen traducing the President in the
mos. cowardly fashion. And yet he too
had American partisan opinion for his
utterances Politicians and newspapers
were describing Mr.. Mckinley as being
spineless on the Cuban question and
anxious to carry water on both shoulders.
De LONE had he chosen could probably
have quoted by name men who in personal
conversation with him had covered the
President with disparagement. Neverthe-
less his dismissal was thoroughly de-
served He went not day too soon.
This is an easy-going country about
many things. We are free of speech
about ourselves and our own affairs. but
very properly like to monopolize those
topics. The outsider within the Sates-as
they say i'm Dublin-is not expected to
exercise the family privilege.

Taft's Rivals All in Line.

Chairman Hitchcocks journey to Indi-
annapolis shows the interest felt in the In
diana situation and the proper appreci-
alton of what is best for the republican
party there. Mr.. Fairbanks aid was to
be expected, but his views about things at
this time at home are important. He is
popular with his party friends. and ranks
with the best stumpers in the state. He
is likewise highly appreciated in Illinois
and Kentucky, and should he tour those
states his party undoubtedly would ben
eft.
All the men whose names were can
vassed in connection with the Chicago
nomination are in line for the man who
won the prize, and all are to take the
stump in his behalf Mr. Fairbanks, Mr.
Cannon. Mr.. Foraker. Mr.. Knox, Mr. La
Toilette and Gov. Hughes are on the
cards for speeches. and Gov Hughes is to
open the campaign in Judge Taft's own
state. No heartaches appear. Not a
sulker is in sight. Moreover. all are eX-
cellent stumpers. Mr.. Fairbanks. Mr..
Cannon and Mr. Foraker being among the
best in the country. The Chicago con-
test. therefore, cost the party nothing in
the way of spirit among the contestees.
All are Ill lTiIIl anu eager IOT Tic tray.
Nor is the party likely to lose the serv-
ices of any of these men after November
Mr.. Cannon will be reelected in the
House. and will again be Speaker if the
republicans control that body. Mr.. Knox

But He Stays in Town.


Ask the city man who came from the
country what he thinks of it, and always
he will tell you that he longs for the
freedom of the country and its fields, and
the wholesome generosity and kindness
of its people. He will tell you that not
even the success man may win in the
city can compensate for the joy of living
where the skies are blue, where breezes
blow sweet scented over stretches of
meadow and forest, where the song of
birds makes music that sweetens the
SOUL and where men and women love you
for what you are.
