Yesterday-And Now.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph


The world cannot have the roses with
out the thorns. In the old, quiet, leisure
ly days progress was made slowly be-
cause the world seemed half asleep. Now
that it is wide awake alert. watchful,
spirited and progressive. the hum and the
roar OF many voices fill the air, and
business is brisk and industry in
thousand branches busy providing for the
needs and luXuries of man. The price
of cotton on the marts of Egypt. or of
far China, or of India. is known to Amer
lea in a few hours, whereas the same in
telligence in the quiet, sober days Of the
world of years ago required months
of time in which to reach our shores.
and then weeks of travel by stage coach
to penetrate the interior of the country.
Is 1t restlessness that pervades the
world or merely the awakened, aroused
energies of human kind. as 1t sees the
prizes dangling before its eyes to be won
only by the exercise of competitive. un-
ceasing effort, the stir Of which is not
necessarily an indication Of disquiet and
dissatisfaction on the part of the individ-
ual. but a mere result of his manifold
activities? Public speakers. animated by
a desire to better the conditions of man
kind. become somewhat compromising
when they tell of the spirit of restless
ness that pervades civilized society and
express longing for a return of the old,
staid ways of life and the quietude which
belonged to the existing condition. They
are simply asking that the timepiece of
human progress be turned backward and
that humanity shall face the past and not
the future. The absurdity of the plead
ing is manifest on its face. One cannot
have all the achievements in the realm of
practical science which the world has won
in the past eighty years without carrying
society, i'm it's ways and customs and
modes Of acting and thinking. away from
its old moorings into more enlightened
wholesome, pleasant and attractive, II
less placid, waters. The difference be-
tween civilized human society now and
that OF three generations ago is as the
difference between the stagecoach and the
railroad train. OF what use. therefore
the efforts of otherwise well meaning
persons to decry the restless spirit Of
the age?

Cavendish House.

From the London Chronicle.
The Cavendish House estate, Chaplain,
where an interesting inscribed Roman
stone has just been unearthed, takes it's
name from the home Of the eccentric
chemist. the Hon. Henry Cavendish,
whose famous experiment for the deter
mination Of the earth's density, made in
his Chaplain garden. gained him the
title of 'the man who weighed the
earth" Cavendish. who left over a mil
lion sterling on his death in 1910, lived
all alone at Cavendfsh House, CARRYING
his craze for solitude to such an extent
that, as Lord Brougham tells u.s. he re-
fused. to let himself be seen even by his
servants, and used to order his dinner
daily by note left on the hall table,
whence the housekeeper might take it,

Percentage Tax Collected.

The increase in the amount OF the per-
centage tax paid by merchants and man.
ufacturers indicated an increase of nearly
$2O.OOO.OOO in the internal trade Of the
islands exclusive OF liquor and tobacco.
The Philippine collector of customs re-
ports an increase of $685., 1864 in the
amount of import duties. largely due to
the larger amount of rice imported owing
to the short crop produced in the islands.
The total customs revenue according to
the insular treasury was $S,9DS. 1894. In
addition the amount Of $50. $3.50 was
collected at Jolo and ZambOanga and paid

OUT OF COURT.
Lawyer as a Peacemaker Saves Trou-
BILE and Money,

1.-The great court of the country is in
the offices Of the lawyers. behind their
closed doors. in the privacy Of confer
ences, where hearts are laid bare and mo-
tives are stripped clean of that veneer
the neighbors know-and where decisions
not to go to law are reached"
An entirely new and refreshing angle
with which "a Famous Lawyer" writer
of the leading article in our next Sunday
Magazine, presents his subject. Far too
widely is the opinion held that all lawyers
with, of course, a few individual eXcep-
tions) are at least dishonest. and as a
rule liars and thieves into the bargain,
for no indictment could be farther from
the truth. OF course. lawyers have all the
virtues of other people, for they come
from and are just like the rest Of us in
motives and aspirations and morals-some
supergood. some superbad, with an aver
age of just ordinarily law-abiding and
good.
But it is proper and illuminating to
read the brief that one of them. one of
the famous lawyers In the United States.

lows. I'm my profession" he says, there

terry, that no outsider can grasp. -" If an

with fostering strife in order to collect
big fees. the, courts could not dispatch
the vast volume of business thus thrust
upon them. Moreover, the good lawyer

fession with a reverence that leads him

COMES OUT LONG COMA
But Nurse Who Accidentally
Gave Woman Poison Has
Emotional Amnesia.

YONKERS. n. Y, October 2.-Miss
Florence Harris. whose mistake IN ad-
ministering oxalic acid for medicine
caused the death Of Mrs. Alice Haight at
the Yonkers Homeopathic and Maternity
Hospital, recovered yesterday from the
coma in which she had been for twenty
four hours. She went from the coma into
a state defined by the physicians as emo
tional amnesia. and was in a serious con-
dition last night. She does not remember
anything that has occurred since the ac-
cident. No coherent statement of what
led to Mrs Haight's death was obtained.
There is no probability of any investiga-
ton by Coroner Alfred II. lies.
How the container of oxalic acid got on
the medicine shelf at the hospital is a
mystery. The physicians yesterday re-
peated the denial issued by DR.. r. Oliver
Philips that any such acid was in use
week a physician who spilled ink on his
hands asked for oxalic acid to cleanse
them and none could be found in the
hospital.
Becomes Hysterical.
Dr. A. G. Burt. who was the first ply
stefan to reach Mrs. Haight after she had
swallowed the poison. said that he ad-
ministered emetics and applied a stom-
ach pump without result. He did not
know that the woman had taken the acid.
He summoned Drs. Philips. H. G. Keith
and E. A jerks. When they reached the
hospital Mrs. Haight was dead. DR..
Philips discovered what caused death and
told Miss Harris. The nurse became hys-
terical and then lapsed into state Of
coma.
When she recovered consciousness at
tempts were made to question her about
the case. To all of them she replied that
she did not remember anything. Her con-
ditfon is such that the physicians fear to
press her as they may completely upset
her reason.

Ahnut the School District.

Ed. Journal: | have read and cut
out for future reference your report
of the proceedings of the annual meet
ing of the school board, at which
tax levy Of nearly nine mills was lev
led. am not satisfied with your ex-
plantations, and l do not think anyone
was satisfied, because it was moved
and carried that next year at least
two weeks publicity be given the an
nual report before 1t is acted upon
This year no time was given at all,
and we we're forced to get new school
houses. to vote blindly on all the
rest. Let us support the schools, but
we do not want to be treated as chill
dren ourselves. Blindly paying $3.50
for taking the census, when any good
man would be glad to get the JOB Ior
hundred dollars, is a sample OF why
our taxes are so high. Is all the rest
in the same generous proportion and
is that the way to do public business
| am surprised that this has attracted
no more attention. The same tactics
are INDUCED in buying sites for school
houses. A site is selected, and then
the owner or some real estate agent is
asked to make his own price on the
block. AS you stated, no property IN
blocks sells for the generous figures
paid by the school board We are told
there is no profit on all this, and all
such work is done for nothing. We
can see how the district might have
got a much cheaper block OF ground.
II the committee had thrown the mat
ter open and asked every owner of a
block to make the district an offer.
But that is not the way the business
was done. Asking the finance COM
mittee of the school board to please
publish their annual report was a
mild sarcasm, and amounted to a vote
of censure You have been very mild
in your treatment of this whole mat
ter. There are other things | would
like to write about, but cannot now
find space. A CITIZEN.
1.-THE school board is acting under a
very defective system of administra-
tion, and the people should be thank
full that the result is no worse than
! it is. They are a commission form OF
government, but the commission is toe
large, and there is too much divided
responsibility. 1t should be reduced
to three men and hold terms for only
two years. Then 1t would not take
the recall of three successive cleo
tions to change the majority of the
board, as II does now. School laws
have not come from the people, by
the way.)-Ed. Journal
