THE TRANscENDENTAL S.

Is there any phase, quality or stan
dard Of American character immune
from the influence of the dollar?. We
are beginning to doubt it.
The spectacle of John ]. Hayes, the
winner of the Marathon event and
stakes in England coming home to a
magnificent reception such as was ne
yer granted to a private citizen be-
fore in history, and then selling out
to a Vaudeville syndicate before he
had caught good home breath, is a
case in point and strongly indicative
of the spirit that yields so readily to
the intensely practical sign, "$."
1t is easy to say that he is poor
man; that he is not an athlete duly
trained to the great craft of sport OF
which he is the worlds leader and
champion; that he needed the money,
that he was compelled to enter new
range of endeavor, etc, etc.; but, all
the same, the name and game of true
American sportsmanship suffers d.
rect blow by his swift concession to
the bid of the theatrical managers, and
his popularity will go down with a
pace co-equal with his cheap descent
The fame he won in England and
America would have brought him
friends and opportunities to save him
self from derogation; he might have
had any one Of hundred excellent
chances for business in the lipe he hac
made famous; he could easily have
found way out Of any impecuiousity
that beset him; but he chose the hrs

rifced his championship for a mess o

BUTcHERy UP-To-DATE.

Digni6ed, peaceful, historic old Bos-
ton is to the fore with the latest thing
in human butchery. The Jordan hor-
ror holds the stage for the moment by
reason Of the rare cold-bloodedness
Of the thing, and the absence OF actual
murderous intent The horrid excess
of the matter lies in the lengths TO
which the young husband latter XII
ling his 23-year-old wife by knocking
her down stairs) went in destroying
the evidence of his terrible blunder;
in the brutal mutiliation of her body
and the gross handling and packing
OF the remains in trunk. A man cool
enough to go to such extremes as this
should it seems to US, have had wit
enough to employ nicer and more de-
liberate means of concealment: he
might have used a couple of suit-cases,
if he had been bit more shllful in
his carving and more adroit in the art
Of packing; or, in the interest of real
expert demonstration in fin de steele
slaughtering, he could have used can
dy-boxes and embroidered paper and
expressed the stuff to fictitious people
across the continent; or, by giving
himself up to the actual artistic de-
nands of the moment, he might have
reduced the body to charmlike proper
tions and mailed it, in jewell boxes, tc
the leading murderers now in hook
throughout the country as memen'
toes of an accomplishment in Their
line that would have been an eye-op-
ener to the profession; or again tc
carry the impression still farther and
create an appreciable uproar in the
avid circles of the sensation-mongers
OF America, he might have sliced the
poor girl into modern postcards, pro.
perly prepared, and stamped with
brief intimation of their human
quality, and posed, for all time, as the
chief fend of his day and age.
This is all very raw and gross ant
coarse, but not more so than the de
tailed story sent yesterday into every
home in the United States as new
matter. It. is one of the blightint
(and rankest), extremes to whicl
modern social life is subjected, in th'
way of perpetuating, and magnifying
the bloodlust of people.

the famous Garden riots in 1850 the bank

time in considerable danger.
The incident drew the attention Of the
authorities TO the fact that an adjoining
church, having the peculiar name Of Saint

sense a source Of danger. and an act Of
Parliament was passed to enable the direo-
