UNCONSCIOUS PLAGIARISM

From the New York Herald.
There is a curious unconscious plagia-
rism which exists among authors which is
interesting as a coincidence but not in
the least suggestive of copying or imita-
tion THE Easiest Way has practically
the same plot as Pinero's iris though
quite unlike it in other respects. A tele-
graphic dispatch to the newspapers many
years ago announcing the death of that
unknown potentate the Ahkoond of Swat
ELECTED two excellent poems from authors
as widely separated as Edward Lear and
| our own greatly lamented humorist,
George T. Lanigan. No collection of vic
torian poetry is complete without those
two beautiful lyrics. both entitled, 1.-THE
Death Bed" one by Thomas Hood and one
by James Aldrieh. but both identical in
sentiment
One of the latest examples of this un-
conscious plagiarism is afforded by Mr..
Henry Sydnor Harrison's novel, ~ VS.

that of Daniel Deronda"-the benign in
fiuence worked in a thoughtless woman's
nature by man whose path in life hardly

"Why impossible ~
ELECTRICIANS FAVOR sor-r HATS

From the Electrical World.
Every trade exercises some effect on
the dress of its votaries. The locomotive
engineer wears a cap and overalls, the
baker a white skull cap. the butcher a
long white apron and straw sleeves and
the cook and the waiter each has his dis
tinetive garb. Electricians wear soft hats
and the following account from the cur
rent number of the Electrical World gives
the reason why. A substation foreman on
an electric line in northern Indiana was
explaining the details of some work to his
men in recently completed substation In
pointing out joint in the high tension
wiring, hat in hand, the rim OF the derby
came in contact with the live wires. A
circuit was completed from the high ten
sion line through the small steel wire in
the rim of the hat and through the mans
body to the ground. thereby causing a
shock which proved fatal Soft hats have
no metal wire in them and that is why
they are so popular with electricians.

New York Mayoralty

William J. Gaynor, present mayor
of New York, has been named for an
other term by "his friends" ON the
'independent ticket" For a while it
appeared that Judge Gaynor would be
complimented with another nomina
tion by Tammany Hall, but things
have been prospering so greatly with
Boss Murphy of late that he thinks he
can win with candidate who has not
the stamina and fearlessness of Gay
nor
Edward E. Mccall is the man
chosen by Murphy to make the race
for mayor for the organization. John
Purroy Mitchell, an independent dem
ocrat, now collector Of the port, has
been named by a fusion committee.
This may complete the list of entries,
although the ring republicans have
been making an effort to get out a
ticket.
When the opposition dividess Tam
many has little trouble in electing it's
candidates. This precedent may be
shattered in the coming campaign,
however. Mitchell and those running
with him are all strong men and vigor-
Gus campaigners, and this time many
Tammany votes may go to Gaynor,
who is powerful with the "old guard"
as well as with outsiders. The record
of District Attorney Whitman, re-
publican who is running for reelection
on the fusion slate, will win many
votes.

The Fate of Adrianople

The troops of Mahomet Y again oc-
rupy the city which was the European
capital of the Moslem long before
Mahomet II preached the walls built
by the first Constantine and trf<
nmphed with the death of the last of
that name.
The Turk of today is as skilled in
the willy art of diplomacy as was his
ancestor in the art of war. Taking
advantage of the conflict which broke
but among the allies who had driven
him from the Balkan peninsula, he has
feoccupied ancient Adrianople and an
hounces that he proposes to stay
there. 1t does not seem possible that
the shattered forces of his recent con-
puerors can reunite and dispossess
him, and if he is again driven south
pf the Enos- Midia line the powers of
Europe probably will have to do it.
The Sublime Porte, in the treaty of
London, agreed to give up Adrianople.
Then Ferdinand of Bulgaria allowed
his rapacity to get the better of his
discretion and became involved in war
with the states which had assisted him
In defeating the Turks. The latter
were quick to seize their opportunity
Ind are again in Adrianople.
Turkey, now, as it has so often in
the past, relies largely upon the jeal-
pusies which exist in the chancelleries
of Europe. 1t was only few weeks
ago that Austria and Russia were
Rrming in preparation to seize some
of the spoils won by the Bulgarians,
Servians, Greeks and Montenegrins.
That war cloud blew over, but another
one, more ominous to the peace of
the world, may arise at any moment.
The "Sick Man of Europe" is near
er death than he has ever been before.
But it is by no means settled that
some of his compeers will not join
him in his passage of the Styx.
