CAREER SPLENDIDLY ROUNDED.

1Ta HE career of John +. Dryden, whose death yesterday shocked
the Newark community and was the text for personal
eulogies by all the principal newspapers of the country,
offers a brilliant example of the opportunities in American
life for young men of sterling worth and high ambitions. In
starting out upon his remarkable career Mr.. Dryden had no
other equipment than his native energy and talent. AS soon
as he had definitely adopted his object in life he gave to it
all of his mind and heart and his best efforts, and through sore
discouragements he never faltered. Resolute in his purpose, conf
dent in himself and indefatigable in his work, he brought success
out of apparent failure. His incessant work was the best of his
education. His mind expanded with it. He grew in stature with
it. When the great institution he was founding began to assume
colossal proportions it was still completely within his grasp in
every detail and he had a thorough mastery of the vast machinery,
covering the American continent, when at last the dread sum
mons came. He had then exceeded threescore years and ten and
he was as vigorous of mind, if not of body, as in his prime. By his
own efforts and genius John f. Dryden not merely accomplished a
great fortune, but, what he valued infinitely more, he erected upon
secure foundations one of the greatest institutions in the world
for the good of humanity. Translated to the United States Senate,
he displayed in that high tribunal all the qualities of the statesman
and patriot and showed a grasp of public affairs and great national
problems that proved his capacity for the most exalted duties. In
the hour of death, when the world was slowly fading from his view,
the thought of a life career so well pursued and SO splendidly
rounded must have been one of infinite consolation.

Cheap Film Shows Shameful.
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
am a man of leisure and have lived
in Newark about two years. For
amusement and pastime / visit thea
tres and moving picture shows, and
must confess that in all my travels [
never saw such pictures shown any
where as are shown in Newark. No
wonder we read almost daily of young
boys and even girls shooting and stab
bling each other in back yards and par
ticipating in hold-ups on the streets
and all are seen and learned from the,
five-cent picture shows. / saw a pic
ture in Springfield avenue last week
that was so suggestive of immortality
that 1t would make a person blush
even in the dingy light of the place.
Is there no one who Is supposed to
look after the managers of these cheap
shows and have a stop put to such
pictures being shown daily and night
"? / am told children under certain
ages are not allowed to attend unless
with a parent. l know there is not a
ive-cent picture show in Newark
that lives up to that rule, for some
very small children attend and their
parents no doubt wonder where they
are. The conduct of these young boys
and girls when the lights are lowered
is a disgrace. Moving pictures are sim
ply in their infancy, as in the near future
all schools and colleges will instruct
the young by displaying everything of
learning on the screen. But why should
we be almost insulted daily by being
compelled to look at train robberies,
safe blow-ups, hold-ups, gun-play and
stabbing and suggestions of immoral
.ity, horse thieves and all other kinds
of thieves? It's a shame. Someone
should be held responsible for allowing
these films to be shown.

Brave Act.

Brave Act.
Yes, she was Drawer than most women
are,
A telegram delivered from afar.
Could never scare this girl into a fit
Nor make her faint before she opened
it.
She never raised the roof from off the
house
With screams of terror when she saw
a mouse,
So sure of neatness was her equal
mind,
She didn't tumble with her belt be-
hind,
Every five minutes. She could go away
From bridge clubs earliest of all, nor
stay
Lest all the rest should gossip when
she went,
She frankly asked what Robert
Browning meant
BY certain lines-instead of looking
wise,
And murmuring, "How true!" She
kept her eyes open
When shooting off q gun. She dared
To walk where cows were pasturing,
unsecured,
But dare she stick upon the envelope
A stamp, before she addressed it?

AN EXHIBITION OF MUNICIPAL WORK.

m SAMPLE of Board of Works management is presented at
M the present time on Market street in the business centre.
Street paving that should have been begun and completed
a year ago and in a season of least traffic is now being done in a
way to seriously interfere with traffic, endanger life and create a
public nuisance. No fault can attach to the contractor. He was
ready a year ago and at any time to do the work. The blame is
wholly on an inept board, whose members and officers attend all
kinds of convention functions in other States as remote as
Louisiana at the boards expense and apparently never bring back
any enterprise or energy. But there is hope in the new blood
introduced in this board in the recent election. May there be
more Of it next year.

INSANITY PLEA is CONFESSION.

N setting up the insanity plea, the last desperate resort of the
criminal lawyer, counsel for Richeson, the Cambridge clergy
man, virtually admit that he poisoned Avis LinneIl to death.
A brilliant preacher and successful pastor, no hint of a disordered
mind ever appeared in his career. A detective is said to have found
that an uncle of the defendant died in a madhouse. But insanity
and other diseases are not transmitted from uncles. This is prob
ably a case where the defense will have to resort to the circular
argument that the man was crazy because he committed MURDER
therefore he committed murder because he was crazy.

EXAMPLE OF THE BEAT71E CASE.

0Ta He celebrity with which Henry Clay Beattie was indicted, tried,
II convicted and executed in Virginia, compared with the laws
delays and uncertainty in Northern States, is an objectles-
son for legislatures and courts that may have a salutary effect.
Virginia can be proud both of her judicial system and of her trial
juries. The jury that tried Beathe was an ideal one. 1t was i'm.
peryious to cunning arts of the criminal lawyer and insensibe to
sentimental appeal. 1t saw its duty and sternly performed il,
almost as a religious obligation.

TYPHOID IN
KONA DISTRICT

HILO, September 20.-Chief SAM
tary Inspector Bowman returned last
week from Kona to which district he
had been called by a report of a ty-
phoid epidemic Owing to the fact
that typhoid has for several years past
been more or less prevalent in the
district it was not possible to trace
the entire history of the origin of the
cases, but sufficient preventive meas
ures were taken to justify the belief
that this particular outbreak has been
stamped out. The Hawaiians in many
instances appear to be very 10th to re-
port cases of illness or even seeking
medical advice, and this contributes
to the hanging on of the disease in the
Konas.
Inspector Bowman founC that the
epidemic had broken out at Kaawaloa,
within a hundred yards of the Captain
Cook monument. The cases were
found in two houses, all the patients
being Hawaiians. There were seven
all told. The first to be stricken were
Lucy Kela, a 15-year-old girl, and Ma
kaiwi Kaneao, youth of IL, both be-
/ ing taken i'll on August 20. Two days

lived were admirably situated for
