SEWER SUITS START. ‘What has been expected in- the ewer difficulty arrived today in the prm of a suit for damages and an hjunction restraining the city from ing the fllter beds at Berlin and om emptying sewage into the Mat- Bbessett river.

Becky Edelson is still on a hunger trike in New York and her friends Ia the outside are going to: help her, ut just what they propose to do has ot been made quite clear. She does need any delicacies in the way of because it is against her prin- les to eat while she is in the hes of the law, and they cannot 1 and give her advice because the uthorities will not permit it. She been about three days without and she is still on the strike, but is not going to be permitted to ve. She is being watched by a physician and when her condition ches the point where he thinks she iould have food in order to sustain she will be fed by means of a ubber tube inserted in the nose and she kicks up any trouble she will wrapped up tightly in a blanket fith only her head out and will be d forcibly. There will be no cat id mouse act to help her and while e is serving her sentence she will lither eat willingly or will be forcibly This is a sensible way to treat a oman who will not obey the law nd who will not eat with the hope at by so acting she will obtain her jberty or will offer herself up as a hartyr to what she and her misguid- d friends regard as a great cause, ut which is in reality a fool move- ent. Becky, however, is not going be allowed to be elther a sacrifice to go hungry. It is really too bad hat Berkman, the anarchist, who e g to be the leader of the dis- rbances in New York, could not be ven the same treatment and show him up as a fakir the same as the of his associates. He hag had nsiderable experience with prison uthorities, having served fourteen 5 for shooting Henry C. Frick. ROOSEVELT FOR HINMAN. The republican situation in New % is clearing up.

He says that it is Mr. Roosevelt who is the real boss and that it is he and methods in this case that make the real issue. There is something to this claim, more than appears on the surface. In the first place Mr. Roosevelt does not profess to be a republican, but is a progressive and as such he has done all he could do to defeat the repub- For a man who taken some lican organization. has taken this position and it voluntarily he is showing nerve to assume to dictate the nomi- nations in another political party. There are some republicans, however, who are showing an inclination to listen because they believe that by submitting to him they can obtain the support of the progressives and per- haps elect their candidate. With My, Hinman acceptable to the colonel he will also be acceptable to many of the progressives, who appear to thoroughly understand that they can- not poll a very large vote in New York state and that by consolidating with the republicans, they can cover up their own weakness and if the movement should be successful they can step in later and claim a part of the glory. The regular republicans are not in favor of this arrangement; of course fue chairman of the state committee, Mr. Barnes, is also opposed to it and there is some question as to who is going to win at the primaries. It should prove an interesting contest. Both Whitman and Hinman are op- posed to Murphy, who is the Tam- many leader and who has troubles enough in his own camp. The Tribune, partly republican and partly progres- sive, which, by the way, is opposed to the re-election of Senator Penrose in Pennsylvania, is showing an incli- nation to side with Mr. Hinman in New York, because it says that his candidacy offers the hope of co-opera- tion between republicans and pro- gressives, thereby making the best prospect of defeating Tammany. SRR e (ot ] CRIMINAL AT HEART. Lawrence Robinson who committed sujcide in Boston yesterday was no ordinary. . criminal, having been a murderer several times and a burglar, but even at that he appears to have been somewhat of a philosopher and® approached his end apparently with- out fear. Among his letters was one for the sheriff, his keeper in jail and his counsel, in which he said, “You're up against a hard game when you've got to die to beat it No other of his kind ever looked at it in that way before. Some have taken their own lives when they knew the state was going to take them but whether it was fear of the gallows or electric chair, they didn’t say. In this case the offender against the law was a gen- tlemanly appearing fellow, a good dresser and evidently with some pride in his own pecullar way. He surely was up against a hard game, but one of his own choosing, and had he ab- stained from self-destruction he would undoubtedly have been con- victed of murder and sentenced to death. He knew it, said it would satisfy some people, the police, per- haps, and so he took his own life. He was a man who had the ability to earn good wages, could support him- self and those dependent upon him and appears to have been a fellow of good address, but he was a criminal at heart; he did not have the courage or inclination to try to resist tempta- tion and he ended up as such men often do, although it was a choice of two manners of death, he preferring his own. There was some sentiment in his make-up as was evidenced in his letters to his mother and wife and yet it did not influence him for good in any way. There is the old lesson in it all and it is that the wages of sin is death. Those who lead an evil life are likely to have an unhappy ending and it people so inclined could be made to see it that way it would hardly fail to produce some kind of reform. With such men as Robinson crime must be a disease so firmly rooted in the mind that it cannot be centrolled outside the bars of a prison and there shave been many cases where even that remedy has failed to curb the ten- dency of the wicked. This was one of them. —_— The pastor of a church in Musko- gee, Okla., has offered to propose marriage to any young woman in his congregation in behalf of any young man who wishes a wife, That may be all right for Muskogee, but in some towns there’d be girls mean enough to ask the pastor why he didn’t speak for himself.—Brockton Times. The Campania, once the queen of the seas, 1s to go to the junk heap. She is now on her last voyage and when she reaches the other side she will be “scrapped.” Built for speed, like many of the modern ships, she is out of date.as a passenger carrier ‘and so she is to be broken up. That 'is the risk a steamship company runs in building a record-breaker.—New London Telegraph, FACTS AND FANCIES. It is said that Joseph Pulitzer once sent a present of 200 fine cigars to a steamship captain, in expression of his gratitude to the captain for a soundless salute of his yacht in pass- ing—that is, passing without blowing his whistle. This is a striking ex- ample of the nervous, almost insane horror which Pulitzer had for noise. The majority regarded Mr. Pulitzer as a “crank,” nervous to the verge of insanity, but it is very probable that if most persons had his keen sensc of the folly of abusing sound society | would be better off.—New Haven Register. Considering the feroci democracy throughout the country ! has been declaiming against the ! malefactors of great wealth and the trusts which prey upon the people it does look a little out of alignment' _for the president to place one of the ' malefactors upon his federal reserve | board and for another, who has had intimate connections with 'the New Haven road, to press his candidacy ! upon the democracy for the governor- ship of Connecticut. Jones and Com- stock are queer timber for the rad-’ icals in the democratic party to use in constructive work.—Ansonia Sentinel. v with which | There is method in the announced policy of the newly organized re- publican club at Burnside which proposes to admit every male resi- dent in that vicinity who is eighteen | vears of age, or older. Burnside is a small community, but apparently it has -far-reaching ideas, politically. Of course its republican leaders do not propose to make voters of young men before they are twenty-one years ! of age, but by securing a hold on them during the two or three years before they reach that age, the chances of @ making them fit the mold of the G. O. P. is considerably increased.— Hartford Times, Foolish Advisers. (Detroit Free Press.) Many of the injunctions issued to housewives sound well but won't; wash. ‘“Go to market yourselves” is one of them. Men are free with their | advice, but women face the circum- stances, ¢ ’ A Washington man advises the women of the capital to go to the fish wharves for the Friday fish dinner, declaring prices average 200 per cent higher elsewhere. This sounds good— | on paper. But fishermen don't care to peddle their wares on the wharves; they wish to dispose of their catch and be off. So do most of those we call producers. Nor would there be a sufficient margin of profit to the | small buyer after her car.fare and her time were deducted. Detroit women have often been ex- horted to save the difference between | wholesale and retail .prices by patron- izing the public markets. Those who live in the immediate vicinity of the markets can doubtless save something on their daily living which, through the year, totals a respectable amount. But the woman who must dress for the street, put out the cat, lock the house and spend a couple of hours’ time knows that personal attendance at the market is not for her. There is her car fare, unless she walks, and she has her purchases to carry | home, or must hire a boy to deliver them. - If she buys in quantity she must have more ice to keep her sup- plies, and though her little outing may do her good-as well as prove fa- tiguing, it breaks into her ' day's work, and time is money to the housekeeper as well as to the busi- ness man. Really, the peripatetic market is a time ahd money saver to the house- keeper who is not too foolishly proud to patronize the peddler. His stock is apt to be quite fresh; she saves | time, has the advantage of personal selection, 'and the peddler shades the prices somewhat. Ordering by telephone is “lazy living”; it is the resort of the well-to- do, who establish precedents for those who are not so well off—but wish to be thought so, It is also a great convenience to a busy woman, who employs it as men do—as an aid to business. Some of the economic advice thrust upon women recalls the ancient saying about saving at the spigot and wasting at the bunghole. The middleman gets a good deal of cussing, but is after all a necessary intermediary between producer and consumer. The circumstances of modern life demand him. If there were not so many of him, and were he less greedy, we should recognize him as a benefactor. But after all he is one of us, and he must live. Suppose he were thrust out of busi- ness. Think of the inconvenience to the public, and the increase in the number of the unemployed! : Only Making a Living. (Breeder’s Gazette.) “We are only making a living on the farm,” complained a friend not long ago. We happen to know that it is a good living, that the home is a roomy, comfortable sort of place, that there is a sleeping porch, a bath- room, a fireplace, a sunny dining- room. He has cows, fowls, horses, carrlages and a garden. Besides, cer- tain improvements and soil ameliora- tions that he has undertaken will some day yield him far more of the fruits of the earth than he is today receiving. Leaving this friend and his farm we took a journey and awoke to look out at a manufacturing city. Closely set were the tall houses, dusty, smoked, between them hot and dirty streets. In such environment lies a great proportion of America’s people; fewer than the half of us dwell on farms, the rest in cities. A living? Seeing men emerging from ‘these smoke-begrimed homes, dinner pails in hand to go to their places of toil, we remember our friends on farms. They arise and go forth in the freshness of the dewy morning, the air is clean, the birds are all about them, the sun shines, the fresh hreezes blow. Theirs is no such toil as that of shop or office, A living?

Usually, there is a lot of talk about the grumblings of farmers, but if any corn and cotton farmer in south Geor- gia 'is grumbling now he is doing it| under his breath. So promising is the prospect for big crops, especially for cotton and corn, that supersti- tious farmers ‘may think it advisable to touch wood to prevent some un- foreseen cataclysm that might hit them even at this late hour. How- ever, it would take a very unusual display of Nature's perverseness. to ruin south Georgia’s cotton and corn crop now, and the outlook is that when the harvest is over there will be an unprecedentedly small number of unpaid farmers’ notes in the hands of the bankers and a mighty small number of accounts that will have to be carried over until next year by merchants for the farmers. From almost every county there are the very best of reports and except for a few acres that have been hit by local hailstorms, the crops are in ex- cellent condition.' The farmer who would grumble with the cotton and corn in such fine shape would be a natural grouch. were prosperous seasons for Georgia farmers, and this year promises to be even more prosperous. Thanksgiving day and Christmas should be happier days on their farms this year than in a long time, and Georgia products day should be cele- brated in fine style. For two years now Georgia has been specially fa- vored by conditions favorable to good crops. Some other sections of the country, but not all others, may have fared equally well, but certainly none has fared better. South Georgia is a mighty fine place to live. The Hotels of Washington. (Washington Letter to Boston Ad- vertiser.) A skyscraper hotel for the exclusive use of men, is to go up on the lot at New York avenué and Seventeenth street, adjacent to the huge army, navy and state building, which is to be thus overtopped. Skyscrapers in ‘Washington are not higher than those in Boston, but relatively low though they are, they loom up enough wher- ever placed, and serve to dwarf many a- monumental structure in Washing- ton. Another handsome building af- fected will be the Corcoran art gal- lery on the block opposite south, a'! portion of which block is already oc- cupled by a new private office building for the navy department. The need of a new hotel is hard to see, except that tfie .proprietors, not- ing that the government is arranging to use many buildings in the neigh- | borhood put up for offices, think a hotel would be convenient and pop- ular. 4 A favorite diversion in Washington is building hotels and funning them.

Three more are at this writing under construction, two of them by the Union railroad {'station and the capitol. The thirty hotels 'do not include many large apartment hotels. Anad practically all pay well. Even the old ones stay on, doing business.

Shutting Down the Lid in Berlin. (New. York Tribune.) Berlin's celebrated ‘“night life” about to become a memory, accord- ing to heartrending complaints which are now making their way across the Atlantic. The new Prussian minister of the interior, Herr von Loegell, has vielded, it is said, to the wishes of the Empress Augusta Victoria and clamped the lid down tight on the festive all-night bars and cabarets. The regular hour for closing will here- after be 11 p. m., and only in excep- tiona] cases, where the police think it advisable, will an extension till 2 a. m. be allowed. It has been Berlin's proud boast that its night life really didn’t begin until about 2 a. m., and the entertain- ments open to the native and stranger from that hour on have been supposed to act as an extraordinary magnet te visitors. The promoters of “night life’” have been allowed to claim that -they were making the city a great tourist center. tured itself as gayer and more wicked even than Paris—not naturally' .and temperamentally so, but with a keen eye to the provincial’s or the out- lander’s dollar. The new police regu- lations will show how far that popu- larly accepted notion is a myth. ‘We do not believe that the average tourist is attracted to Berlin by its “night life,” which is just about as shoddy and uninspiring as the “night life” of any other large town. There are many better things in Berlin than its flashy bars and cabarets, and the average ' tourist is intelligent enough to realize that fact. Munich has no “night life,” yet it has a relatively bigger foreign tourist business than Berlin has. It is the city itself that counts, with its substantial attractions, not the poor slice of night frivolity, which can be reproduced in pretty nearly avery big world center. So long as Berlin remains the most striking modern capital in Europe it will attract as many strangers as ever, whether it does or does not continue to furnish “night life” in very costly and superabundant doses, “ is Berlin has pic- | instinct, WHAT OTHERS SAY Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to Herald office. Hard Times Debate, (Boston Herald.) If you see a man who that times are good he is probably a strong Wilson If he thinks they are ‘“middling” he is on the fence in some sort of straddle. If he is sure they are bad, in fact very bad, he is a republican, and from his estimate of the depth of the prevailing depres- sion you must get a line on his place in party ranks. The newspapers reflect situation. Democratic organs, like the New York World, scurry the country over for evidence of some- body’'s starting up a factory, or in- creasing orders, or making new out- lays of some sort, Henry Ford be- comes the uncrowned king of the hour. The republican organs lay nearly corresponding emphasis on signs of depressions, while among the progressives opinions vary. Their great high priest says times are bad, but some of his more logical fol- lowers, realizing thé inevitable im- port of such an opinion, incline to the democratic view. says democrat, the same 1 The democrats have long been ex- ceedingly sensitive on this score. Mr. Wilson made rather a shrill outery before his inauguration, in which he threatened to ‘“hang higher Haman” any one who started to precipitate business depression. Since that time he has reached the con= clusion that there is actually a con- spiracy among his political enemies to curtail the volume of industry, in order to discredit his administration. His great secretary of commerce, Mr. Redfield, has not only joined in these warnings, but has steadily informed his chief that all is well, business con- ditions sound and the country es- sentially prosperous. ~Wherever a democratic hand shows itself in any chamber of commerce or other pub- lic body, it is for tne passing of resolutions of an optimistic char- acter, And so the debate proceeds. These ought to be questions of fact and not of opinion. We have many barometers of industry, such as postal receipts, street car and steam railroad earnings, empty freight cars, unfilleq orders for stee] billets, bank clearings, stock exchange quotations, etc. To an independent newspaper like The Herald it appears that times are not good, but that théy might be, and occasionally are, much worse, The president has played into extra- ordinary luck at many critical points in his public career, never more o than now in his apparent settlement of the Mexican trouble and in the un- precedented size of the country's crops. Times should be good this fall. The redl trouble with the business world is the apprehension which the half-baked schemes of our populistic law-makers have occasioned. Busi- ness is not helped by .the continuous sessions of congress and the increas- ing regulations sought everywhere. It does not know ‘“‘where it is at,” or where “it is to get off,” .to use the vernacular of the day. This uncer- tainty throws a blanket over every thing. Then taxation has reached figures which are eliminating one business after another as not worth doing under the burdens which public authority imposes. - In these circum- stances “big crops” will help us, but can hardly be expected to cure us. Spooning. (New Bedford Standard.) “Spooning is a crime against wo- manhood,” said a speaker before the older girls’ conference of the Inter- national Sunday school convention at Chicago. *“Pass the word along to girls who love to spoon,” he added, “That it is the most degrading thing they can do; one of the most degrad- ing things they may permit.” Here is prudishness gone mad, here is an effort to make the innocent and the natural appear foul. The speaker, in the report before us, did not define his terms, so that we shall have to fall back on the dictionary. The Standard defines the verb to spoon as “to be sentimentally in love; to in- dulge in demonstrations of affection as lovers.” Most people have a pretty clear idea of what spooning is. All over, the land, these summer nights, young women are spooning with their lovers, and seeing them, many a vir- tuous and loving mother thinks of the salad days of her own courtship, and of long farewells—until the next night, a whole day!-—at the front door or the creaking gate along the village street. Spooning in public— coram populo—is justly derided; it is a pastime in which an exquisite reticence is to be preserved, ani however sentimental a couple may be in private, with the world looking on they must try to appear as if they «id not care a particle for each other. ‘And so trying, how poorly they succeed until amusement be- comes sympathy, and considerate people suddenly recollect important errands elsewhere. We like to think that utterances such as we have quoted do very little harm. No sensible girl, hearing them, could be made to believe that to be sentimentally in love is the most de- grading thing she can do. If anything is degrading, it is such attempts, by prudish minds, to make young women believe that in heeding the mating they are doing something abominable. Heat in Politics. (Columbus (O.) State Journal.) There are already signs of a very hot campaign, when men will get much excited and often angry at one another over a question that ought to demand and receive sober and kind- ly consideration, to wit, what is the best thing to do to promote the good of all? There are a few things to than | 11 | ZMGMEAN’S Trunks, Bagsand- Suit Cases, All ‘Marked Down For’ O0UR JULY CLEARANGE SALE See our large window display.

One is apt then to have a perverted view of his duty, and that is the case in most political cam. paigns. Quiet, sincere judgment doesn’t have much to do with them Think of men in a pestiferous quar. rel over public duty! Isn't it ab. surd ? And, then, find a vociferant and rampageous fellow going for the other side, or someone on it, with fierce and venomous words, and nine cases ouf of ten it is a spasm of selfishness. 11 all the axes to grind were thrown into the bottom of the bottomless pit, politics would be as serene as a morn- ing prayer. When we see a fellow shaking his fists and damning some- body furiously, we are quite sure the fellow is expecting something out of his clamor beside the public wel- fare. And, again, the effect of turbulenf politics upon the people is very in- jurious. Their passions and preju- dices are appealed to and they e upon the idea that these are influ. ences that must guide them in thelr political duty. They act from a low plane, and it is sad to get peo- ple to face civic duty from any such spirit. The way to do it is to keep cool and ask yourself, why is this man so vio- lent and vociferant, Let us begin the happy exercise of candor and courtesy. Why wait 1,000 years longer for these gentle influences? ,
