JUDGE TAFT AS A GOLFER
Man Who Takes Game Right ISM
Coward.


With profound satisfaction we have
perused. for the 'steenth time the let
ter on gold written by Judge Taft to
Mr. Austen G.. Fox, of the st. An
drew's Club. As revelation of the
writer's matured judgment and in
herent modesty 1t Is worthy of the
widest circulation and the most ad-
mlring comment. The man who will
admit that he has been chastened In
spirit. disciplined and restrained in
temper and proadened In his human
sympathies by his experience on the
links is n man the country can tie
up to without fear.
The pin-headed dilettante takes up
golf merely as a recreation. But the
man of serious purpose and large in
tellect regards II as an education and
pursues 1t as n duty. He appreci
ates its effect upon his character
more than the strength 1t imparts to
his legs or the stimulation 1t gives to
his digestion. He knows that the
widening OF his morcal outliik be-
cause OF 1t is more to be desired than
the expansion of his vocabulary which
is inevitable from 1t. The man who
takes gold in the right way can never
be a coward. The courage cultivat-
ed by looking straight and unflinch-
ingly into the eye of a supercilious
caddy after a slice or fozle cannot
be otherwise acquired unless by the
inexcusably foolhardy method of
refusing to tip the waiter in a Broad
way restaurant.-Brookly Eagle.

BOLIVIAN INDIANS.
The Majority Are semi-intoxieated
From the Cradle to the Grave.

From the Cradle to the Grave.
The Indian women Of Bolivia are
usually superior to their lords In actual
intelligence; also in age, as a rule.
They earn the larger share of their
mutual Giving and take the lead In
most things.
AS recognized head of the house the
Bolivian Indian wife is much more
likely to thrash her comparatively
timid spouse than he is to Ill use her.
In the markets, when produce has to
be disposed Of, she can drive far bet
ter bargain than he could; she can car
ry as heavy burdens, endure as much
privatlon and physical toll, labor, chew
as much coca and drink as much
strong drink.
Little or no money passes among the
Bolivian Indians, their mediums of
exchange being whatever they may
raise or the labor Of their hands. They
will eat when not hungry, drink when
not thirsty, sleep when not sleepy, any
where and any time when opportunity
offers, against the time Of need" as
they say. TIE majority are in a state
Of semi-intoxication from babyhood to
the grave, alcohol being used on every
pretext, freely as their means will al
low, on occasions of births, deaths and
feast days-the last named being re-
markably frequent.-Boston Globe.

JENA PUTS DRAWERS
UPON HER ANGELS
Jealous Teacher i'm German Town
Clads all Cherubs In Bathing
Trunks That None May be Shocked


Berlin, Jan. 16.-Jena, the most en-
lightened town in Germany, the seat
of the most advanced science of Eu-
rope, Is shaking with laughter over
the strange results of the zeal OF q
religious teacher at a certain high
school for girls
Another teacher, entering a class
OF young girls, found the pupils bub-
bling over with suppressed laughter
as they were looking at books which
we're hurriedly hidden away on his
entrance. Curious as to the cause OF
the hilarty, he questioned one of the
little girls, who blushingly handed
TO him a copy Of the book of religi-
GUS instruction which is used by the
class. saying that all the angels in the
pictures were wearing bathing
drawers.
The teacher saw that wherever an
angel appeared in the illustrations 1t
had been provided with bathing
drawers carefully drawn in with ink.
II was found that the religious
teacher, thinking that the angels nak-
ed and unashamed were unwhole-
some for little girls to look upon,
had withdrawn all the books from the
class and returned them a day or two
afterwards with the angels decor
ously garbed.
The school authorities have inti-
mated that it will be as well for the
teacher to transfer his zeal and sense
of decorum to another school.

FALLING HORSE
KILLS RIDER
JOSH CLARK MEETS
VIOLENT DEATH SUNDAY
Well Known Resident of Albee Killed
While Hunting In Mountalns-Accl-
dent Happens in Rough Country on
Upper Bear Creek-BOdy Recovered
With Great Difficulty by Seven
Men.

Josh Clark, the well-known hotel
keeper at Albee. was killed yesterday
afternoon through having his horse
fall with him while he was hunting on
Bear creek. The animal fell upon the
slippery ground and crushed the life

Clark, in company with Wright and
a boy named Knapp, was hunting on
Bear creek. At the time of the acci-
dent they were riding up very rough
canyon, young Knapp riding with
Clark, while Wright was some
distance in the rear. When Wright
reached the spot Clark was dead.
Owing to the rough nature of the
country where the accident occurred
1t was a difficult matter to take
Clark's body out OF the canyon. Sew
ting the body and they did not reach
the Andrews sawmill, but three and
a half miles distant, until o'clock
this morning. Clark was killed at 2
O'clock yesterday afternoon.
News of the accident was received
here this morning and a casket was
sent from here to Albee, where the
lnterment is to be held. No inquest
will be held by Coroner Folsom, as
the accounts received show that death
was plainly due to an accident
Josh Clark, the dead man, was
about 6 2or SO years of age and had
lived at Albee for 10 or Is years He
leaves a wife and eight children. He
was the proprietor of the little hotel
at Albee and wa widely known
among the people OF that section.

Nashville Qll.) Dispatch to the New York

 Promonition took Mrs Louis Thiess. GA years old, from her home in St. Louis to the bedside of her dying grandson, Henry Holman at Cordes Station. ham, let eight miles south of Nashville. Ill. To reach his bedside just before he died Mrs. Thiess. having missed train at Coulterville, walked the remaining l2 miles along the railroad tracks, carrying two heavy grips.
 T was at the home of my daughter, Mrs Gus Tubbsing in St. Louis. when this inspiration struck me-" she said. T was seated in one of the rooms by my self with nothing specially occupying my attention, when my mind wandered off into a reminiscent mood. All of sudden 1t transferred itself to thoughts of my son Henry and family. It was then that the remarkable part came.
 Tt suddenly occurred to me that l was needed at the Holman home.> Every attempt to shake this thought proved fruitless. The idea clung to me. Finally it became so strong that decided l must go there. I so advised the members or my daughters family, and on the next morning l started on my Journey,
 1T boarded an Illinois Central tram at Union station, which was to take me to Coulterville, H., where was to change cars and board an Illinois South ern train for Cordes Station. Upon reach inc Coulterville I found tho train I de- sired had gone. and there would be no other train until late at night. My de- sire to reach the home of my son became still stronger. I decided to make the re- mainder of the way afoot I found my grandson barely able to recognize me bafore he died"

"Roderick Random is an English "Gil Bias" Smollett had studied that great book long and earnestly, and he published his translation of 1t a year after he pub lished "Roderiek Random"
 In the height of his reputation, Smollett was proclaimed a second Cervantes. Aft erward critics tore him to pieces and de- nied to him a place even with Richard son. The praise was as unjust as the cen- sure. Smollett had little imagination and certainly he had none of the genius of Cervantes. In his own lesser field how ever, he was vigorous. healthy force, smiting refreshing though rough blows at the sentmentalities and absurd poetics Of the literature of his time
 He was coarse; but 1t was the coarse ness not of pander but of man daring enough to paint his contemporaries and their day as they really were. The fine gentlemen of his time did not hesitate women. He shocked because he printed 1t. women. He shocked because hep rinted it. The highflown novels of that century had put highfown poetry into the mouths of the heroes, though in real life those he- roes swore.
 Smollett never pretended that indecency was fine; and though he treats 1t unblush- ingly he never toyed and wantoned with it as did Laurence sSterne, who had much finer talent.

Railroad Fatalities Abroad.

The annual report Of the British
Board of Trade offers some consola-
ton to American railway managers
and travellers in relation to death and
injuries from accidents, though it
should not operate 70 relax efforts to
avoid the death toll taken by the rail-
ways. During the last year British
railroads killed 1.117 and injured
8,811, as against 1889 killed and
111,016 injured in the United States.
The discrepancy between the two sets
OF figures is great, but when taken in
connection with the immensely greater
train mileage and number Of passen-
gers carried in this country is not so
startling. Another item which con-
%stitutes almost half the total deaths
on American railways, 5,2SS. is grade
crossings and t~respassers, which is al
most unknown in Great Britain, being
only 81.
In safety of passengers from death
or injury statistics show the per cent
per passenger per mile is lower in the
United States than in Great Britain,
in spite Of the fact the roads there are
practically all double track.
A darker picture is the story Of EN-.
ployes killed and manned. EN-
ployes, grade crossings and trespasseri
represent all but $40 of the death roll
of American railways. In other words
in Great Britain passengers represent
one-tenth Of the death losses and IN
the United States o~ne-twentieth. Tht
real lesson of the comparative figures
is an indictment Of American railways
for lax consideration of life and lint
of employees. grade crossings and the
American habit OF trespassing upor
railroad property.
One notable feature of the British
reports is hat the largest item of ia
talities. 47S. is suicides, which in tn,
American reports are included among
t~respassers struck by trains.

Bishop Williams Pessimism.

Bishop williams OF Michigan de-
livered such a scathing diatribe against
the American people in his Fourth OF
July sermon as would indicate either
the good mans digestive apparatus or
his vision is out Of order. The mem
bers Of the Daughters Of the American
Revolution and other similar societies
we're told they do nothing but cause
a meaningless display of the national
flag. and the people as a whole were
indicted as selfish, lacking in national
spirit or high ideals and living in the
light of past glories and present big
ness.
The bishop evidently belongs to a
class which delights to pose as Gracchi,
crying out in the forum that every
thing is going to the bow vows, but
he should take comfort. Conditions
are not ideal and all possible Is not
being done that might be to better hui
manity. But the unrest Of today is
evidence hat people realize the exist
ence of injustice and wrongs and are
striving to correct them. Progress is
always slow in social reforms, but the
men who struggle steadily onward and
do not give way to despair and doleful
wailings are the hope Of the nation,
and not the d%olorous prophets of evil.
The fighting line Is nc place for a
gutter, and the bishop had better join
hands with the courageous men and
women who see the evils as we'll as
himself, but whose vision is also able
to discern the good, and who have not
abandoned hope. II there are none
such in the bishops set, he is unfor-
tunate, but he IA easily find them If
he will search, and the muster roll is
always open for recruits.

Build Up the Medical School.

The enforced change in the headship
Of the medical school of the University
OF Nebraska through the acceptance by
it's lean Of a position In another insti-
tuition should not interfere with the
execution of the plans hat have been
laid out for the development Of this
department Of the university. Inas-
much as the clinical courses Of the
medical school are pursued in the hos
pitfalls n laboratories in Omaha after
the students have completed the pre-
liminary work at Lincoln, it is quite
natural that Omaha should be more
directly interested in this side Of the
university.
Omaha is the seat Of two medical
schools, both of which are credited
with doing most excellent work, n
both of which have a large field OF
usefulness before them. Omaha
furthermore is equipped with the larg-
est and best hospital facilities Of any
city between the Mississippi and the
coast, and our medical and surgical
practitioners and specialists average in
rank with the foremost. Only by
building up these medical schools will
full advantage be taken OF the clinical
material and Institutional opportuni-
ties presented here. snd the education
OF students In medicine is as impor-
tant a part OF the State university as
the education OF students in any other
OF the professions or occupations re-
curing specialized preparation.
While the plans laid out for the
medical school may look considerably
to the future, with the cooperation Of
the local community and the regents
in charge OF the university, they can
be all realized upon gradually and lead
eventually to a valuable institution of
rfar-reaching and lasting influence.
