KNOWLEDGE NOT ALWAYS GOOD.
Ignorance Has Its Uses, According to
Philadelphia Writer.

knowledge is no help to courage.
Fools rush in where angels fear to
tread; and how useful these fools are
sometimes every general knows.
1t is said that the British army was
beaten three times during the day of
Waterloo, only 1t did not know 1t.
Napoleon ragged at its stupidity. Edu-
cation cultivates the imagination,
which is the greatest foe OF courage.
When in the dead Of night, you hear
noise in the front parlor, you remem-
Der all the stories you have read OF
worthy householders being shot by
firece burglars; you wonder how 1t
feels to be hit on the head with jim
my, and you take long time finding
your slippers. Ignorance would have
save you from these fancies, and you
would have gone downstairs without a
tremor-and found II was only the
cat
II was the acquisition Of knowledge
that lost our first parents the Garden
OF Eden If they had only been con.
tent with their ignorance we might
all be living there now instead Of
only getting an occasional weeks
end. This, at any rate, is the belief OF
- writer In the Philadelphia Record.

TAKE CARE OF THE FORESTS
Assoc iations Formed to Preserve the
Little Timber Remaining.

Fire insurance for forests is a nov
city. In the Pacific northwest the
Washington Forest Fire association
has elected officers and begun work
with 100000 acres under its charge.
The plans include a system OF patrol
by rangers, resembling the work done
by the United States forest service
in warding of and putting out fires.
Oregon and Idaho have similar or
ganiZation for like work In Idaho
the state treasury pays out that part
Of the expense, which is borne by tax
alton. A western railroad company
has large holdings in timber land and
is carrying out successfully plans for
guarding them against fire. AT the
other end of the continent Maine own
ers of forests have undertaken similar
plans to protect the trees from their
great adversary fire. In other parts
of the country similar need Is felt
for protecting the forests from fire, as
Is evidenced by the establishment OF
like organizations In different sections.
1t is urged that fires have destroyed
more trees than lumbermen have
felled. While timber was plentiful the
waste went unnoticed. But now that
wood famines seem imminent and
every tree counts, owners OF forest
land are beginning to take precaution-
airy measures so that the little wood
remaining may last.

MURDERED AND
BURNED IN AN
OLD MATTRESS
Details Of Brooklyn Tragedy
Coming to Light
WORK OF SKILLED SURGEON
Cut In Victims Throat Resembles In
oision Made In Desperate Cases
OF Diphtheria.

New York, July 31,-That at least
two men were concerned i'm the MUIR
der Of the unidentified woman whose
half charred and acid scared body was
found on the Green Point avenue
dumping ground in Williamsburg
Brooklyn, was established yesterday
by the police. Philip O'Brien. a lab.
orer, saw a covered wagon drive to
the dump at dawn Wednesday, Two
knen got out and lifted from the wag-
on what the witness supposed to be
only an old mattress. He saw the
men pile a heap of brush over it, and
then set fire to the bundle. Believing
the mattress was being destroyed be
cause it was disease infected, the man
avoided the SPOT. There can be no
doubt that the mattress was the one
in which the body of the murdered
woman was concealed
Another startling feature OF the case
was disclosed when COroner's Physic
Ian Wenst made a second autopsy on
the body. His first autopsy revealed
deep cut across the woman's throat
Just below the Adams apple and the
second autopsy shows that this cut
was made by a skilled physician The
incision, says the coroner's physician
is such as is made in desperate cases
of diphtheria. where II is necessary
to pierce the windpipe TO prevent stran
gulation. Whether this wound caused
death or not, DR.. Wcust is unprepared
10 say
DR.. Weust will make a careful analy.
sis of the stomach to discover whether
drug was administered to the WON
an Besides the incision in the WON
ans throat. the skull was fractured
and the police believe that poison may
also have been used to make thrice
sure of killing the victim
Failure to establish the identity o.
the victim is the greatest obstacle the
police have TO overcome. A genera
alarm has been sent out for Mrs. Ma
nlie Muskovitch and her HUSBAND
Stanley who have disappeared.

should suspect Kent was hiding In
mis- house. He said his wife had gone
ito another house further down the
mountain which he owned but which
had been closed for some time. The
neighbors living near the Flanders
/ place think that Mrs. Flanders has
been furnishing the man with food but
no direct evidence could be obtained

J in the woods and swamps surrounding

to the piazza of the second house of
the Flander estate and this led the
Iofticers to think that the story con
corning the harboring Of the criminal
was true. One man who lived near
the second house, said that on We'd
nesday night he saw a man prowling
about the house and upon investigat-
ling the next morning found that the
grass about the house had been tram
pied down and a window broken in.
He had probably slept there Wednes-
day night and this gave the officers
another and fresher clew. Owing to
the condition of the dogs, which were
greatly fatigued, and nearly on the
verge of collapse, it was necessary to
abandon the trail at this point 1t was
resumed there this morning
The people IN the vicinity OF the
murder are in such a state Of nervous

RESURRECTION ON
MEXICAN BORDER
MAKES TROUBLE
Offenders Cannot Be Legally
Extradited
MEXICO IS SUSPICIOUS
Difficult to Convince President Dlax' 8
Government That Unole Sam
IL Sincere.

Washington, July Suitability to
extradite offenders for socalled politi-
cal offenses, but which in the opinion
of the administration are really crimes
that should be eXtraditable, Is proving
a source of great irritation in the eff
fort Of the government of the United
States to break mp the revolutionary
activity along the Mexican-Texas boun
Diary. This, coupled with the difficulty
in detecting and proving violations in
the neutrality makes 1t difficult to
convince the Mexicans of the SINGER
~ of this government in its expressed
determination to punish the guilty,
and this notwithstanding every pos
sibilty of machinery at the disposal
of the government is working to
common end.
On his recent trip to Oyster Bay
Ambassador Creel talked over the
whole subject of the border trouble
with President Roosevelt, who mani
tested lively interest, and who is de
t-ermined to put an end to the mis-
chief making as far as lies in the
governments power. The President,
it is understood favors, If necessary,
the employment of special counsel
who may apply themselves to the
question of neutrality violations and
extradition 50 that the law may be full
ly enforced. Officials contend this
is no reason why persons on this side
of the border who foment revolution
airy movements and cross into Mexico
to engage inraids and other operations
of criminal character, and then seek
safety from arrest in this country
should have any exemption from ex
tradition on the alleged ground that
their acts were political, On the
contrary, the official view is that they
should be extradited as felons. Both
this and the Mexican government, il
was officially said. to day. are equally
aroused in this matter, and that the
former will take drastic steps to end
this species of pernicious neutrality
so far as ii is incident to United
States soil
