THE BIOGRAPHY" OF MRS. PATTERSON.

We know nothing of the reputation for skill of the criminal lawyers en. gagged in the defense of Mrs. Patter, son who went to trial yesterday al Denver for the murder of her bus band last September But we sur. mise that they cannot be very skill ful: otherwise they would not have permitted her to issue that "biogra- rhy which was made public last Fri day, in which she described her ruin by Chicago millionaire and her sale to Patterson after the millionaire had fired of her.
 The story IS not ingenious; not even ingenious and is contrary in many respects to the known facts of the case. Mrs. Patterson speaks of her meeting with the millionaire at @ Chicago hotel when she was trav- cling with relatives, a girl Of sixteen with her "hair hanging down her back. This description was de signed of course to emphasize her glrl-Iike innocence at the time she was thrown into the way of the be- trayeT.
 But that little detail. If not inaecu- rate. is certain to be regarded as unlikely. At no time within recent years, nay within generation, have young ladies Of sixteen worn their hair hanging down their backs when travelling. If we are wrong about this matter we will eheerfuIiy sub mit to correction by the ladies Rnd hair dressers of Bisbee
 But the description Of the coifIure or lack of it. Is not more unreason' able than every related detail of her relations with the millionaire from the very outset to the breaking off ol those relations.

Switzerland is the tallest country in Europe. and in fact.

Switzerland does not cover much territory, but if it were laid down on it's side, it would reach rom the north pole to Antarc- tic. They do not go by the compass in Switzerland, for they know only two directiOus-up and down.
 The native Swiss are equipped ap- parently with feet such as are pos sessed by the musticae demesticae or common housetiy, which gaily ambles up and down the surface or a slip peFy mirror without danger Of falling. A Swiss can walk up the side of a standpipe and eat a. ham sandwich at the same time, ir somebody viii iuf- nish the sandwich. The bnly law iu Switzerl and, which is strictly enforced is the law Of grayitation and that ap- plies only to the turists which fall from the mountain peaks, and it is al- ways a wise precautjon to carry su umbrella when walking iu the valley.

What's the Use of swatting?

Professor Washburn in the Popu-
lar Monthly has this to say about the
common house fly called in more en-
dearing phrase the "musca domes-
tica:"
"A female house fly which has
hibernated i'll d dwelling house, or
elsewhere, may produce il the
spring. at the lowest estimate, 120
eggs. Assuming that one-half of
these hatch as females. AMI allowing
that the breeding goes on without
check for four months, We have as
the descendant OF a single hibernat-
ing individual PA, ,557, ,S44, ,32O O,O0O,-
900, 100000 flies. Now a house fly
measures exactly one-fourth of an
inch in length; the distance around
the earth at the equator IS said to
be 24,SOO miles. 1t would take,
therefore, 3.6SS,S12, 900 flies placed
end to end 10 go around the world
once. Using this number as a de
nominator, and the number OF flies
produced in four months from one
mother as a numerator, we find she
will give rise, IN the course of a
summer, enough flies to enctrcle the
globe at the equator 5000 times, and
have plenty OF progeny TO spare"

Plan to Unite Department.

Springfield, H., Aug. 1.-THE Hi
nois civil service commission is in
vestigating the relative positions which
various employees in certain depart
ments bear to employees in other de-
partments, with the view Of consolida-
tion of a number of the state depart
ments, and will report to Governor
Deneen in October.
The governor, if he desires, will sub
nit the matter TO the general assem-
lily with the recommendation that GER
tain departments be consolidated with
others.
The board of agriculture. the state
farmers institute and the livestock
commission could be consolidated, the
commission believes The state board

the board of registered nurses and the

II is the opinion of the commission
that the state charities commission
could be readily consolidated with the

Model for the True Nurse.

Prof Roncalia an eminent physician
of Mantua, Spain, who is generally an
ti-clerical in his views, recently ad-
dressed 200 trained nurses of that
city Prof Roncalla, who was their
chief instructor, in speaking OF the
qualities of the ideal nurse, expressed
himself as follows ALLOW me to bring
before you the examples of those who
were and will be always the model of
the competent nurse, the example of
the Sisters. Do not believe, however,
that in speaking of them l have any in
tention of propagating clericalism. No.
Who knows me know that l am not
a clerical; quite otherwise; however, in
speaking of them it seems 10 me that
am throwing a ray of light upon their
work, so noble, so great, yet so un-
known. You see these Sisters fitting
about among the wards, quick. light,
silent, always with the same expression
Of goodness on their faces with the
same indulgence in their actions: you
see them pass from bed TO bed, hasten
ing to where they are called, without
allowing the least sign of impatience
TO escape them. l have always op-
posed and will always oppose the idea
of expelling the Sisters from the hos
pitals. At Mantua / have insisted to
the point of obtaining them as assist
ants even in operations. l have said
and repeat it, the Sisters are the model
of the true nurse. they are the sublime
IN goodness and in self sacrifice. they
represent the heroism of abnegation.
And what presents itself before
them as reward for this mission? The
prospect of passing their lives from
dawn to late night amid the laments of
those who suffer and the death rattle
Of those who die: the probability of
acquiring the infectious germs of ter
rible and incurable maIadies. as hap
pened little while ago to a young Sis
ter in the flower of her health and
youth who died of tuberculosis: the
forgetfulness and ingratitude of those
who benefit by her ministrations the
absolute absence of amusements and
of relaxation. a table not too well laden
with the good things of life With all
This you will see them going about
content only to give their whole lives
Gnd their whole work TO the relief Of
Che suffering and unfortunate
And it is precisely these Sisters
that put before you as examples to
follow, as examples to put in practice.

ulates railroad rates. And this, of
course, is true. Wherever there is a
natural monopoly there the govern
ment has had to step in with forcible
price regulation. A pretty time it
has had of it, too, as the court re-
ports and 1. c. c. publications show.
And because it is compelled to do
this supremely difficult thing in cor
ners which the competitive broom
cannot reach, let us, forsooth, dc
away with that useful implement al
together and regulate everything by
law because compelled to regulate a
few things. We have TO go with
leather on our feet to stand the wear
and tear; ought we, therefore, TO
wear it from head TO foot and de-
velop caloUses on our elbows and
knees?
1T is clear that either the govern
ment or -the combinations must be
radically reconstructed. Taking into
account on this side the flag, the
national emblem. the constitution,
the declaration of independence and
a few other things, and cons dering
the fact that so few people are ready

Socialism and "Trust Busting. ;

The style OF socialism" advocated
by Attorney General Wickersham
and Judge Gary, who want the gov
ernment practically TO take charge
of the business of the country and
run it, regulate ii and fx the price
OF service aud commodities through
commission, is attracting wide at
tention.
The government, through its civil
service commission, is having plenty
of trouble regulating the few public
service corporations and there is no
telling what it would do if it had on
its hands the job Mr.. Wickersham
proposes. II We are TO adopt pateT-
nal socialism or socialistic paternal-
ism or any other style of administra-
tion We are under the necessity OF re-
considering the government TO meet
its demands and this means Tevolu-
tion-peaceful revolution, but still
revolution
So rapid has been the growth of
the great combinations OF capital
and so insistent their demands upon
the government that it has come TO
the pass that it seems that the great

ernment reformed 10 deal with the

The question ar issue is the con
stitution or the trust?"
Which shall il be?
Every one of these trusts is a
creature of the law and the trouble
is that the law has been overindul-
gent and is now suffering the penalty
that follows just this kind of laxity.
The government which gives a trust
a charter can revoke il and this is a
very good way to start at trust

cussing the subject:

The Canadians are beginning to un-
