Joseph Zebris and housekeeper were found in the Lith- ‘uanian parish house on Church street, he having been shot to death and she strangled. The local police and the’| most skilfull of the state lary have been working on ever since, and so far as known they not found a single clue upon which they would be justified in mak- ing an arrest. The case is not only his constabu- the case have opportunity to work against any suspects because ever committed the deed did not leave any tracks to indicate who they were, where they came from or where they went to. The police are natural- ly keeping their own counsel and are also keeping up a diligent search, run- ring down every clue that the inquiry presents, and vet they do not report any encouraging results. It is understood that a most minute search has been made of the tents of the house with the hope that something tangible in the way of evi- dence may be found, but if anything of importance has been found the po- lice keeping it to themselves. There are all manners of theories and stories afloat, but when they are ex- amined there always something missing to make them logical. People are coming forward with statements that are plainly unfounded but this is nothing new as there never was a time of such excitement when there were not just such stories put into circulation. It was thought that the large ward would cause some people to talk but so far it has not done so and so known the situation The murder a case who- up con- are re- far as publicly has not been improved. may never be satisfactorily clearcd up and the solution may remain of speculation. one WANTS BREAD TAGGED. Nlew York i{s urging that the ordi- nance providing that the weight of each loaf of bread be marked plainly upon it be enforced on the ground that when a person purchases a loaf of bread he will know how much he hags bought and if he has it weighed he will know just how much he got. Tt is not clear how this would in any way affect the price, but it would satisfy the buyer as to what he got for his money and if there were any bargains offered in loaves he would aiso know just how much the * loaf weighed when compared with another loaf he may have purchased where else. The question of price is to be inves- tigated in New York and it is nounced that those who have guilty of boosting prices as a matter of speculation will be forced to answer charges of conspiracy and if possible sent to the penitentiary. That is the only way by which specu- lation in foodstuffs can be effectually stopped. One may easily understand kow articles of food may be increased it is difficult to understand how it can be done when the amount of the principal ingredient in bread, fact about the only ingredient, should have been raised in almost unprece- dented quantities year, the natural result of which would be to bave the price of bread lowered. The state authorities say that the cause of the is a criminal conspiracy, that they know one of the Pig criminals and expect to get them all. It is stated that the evidence in this case will startle the community. The people would like to be startled once in a while by such revelations because it is time that something was If the increase in food supplies is due then the public some- an- been in last increase done. to natural causes should know it: if it is due to criminal conspiracy that should known too, and the interested partics should be given a term in the peniten- tiary as a merited punishment for warning to a be themselves and also as a cthers. The Minute Man Myth. (New Republic) We have all been taught in our school histories that the minute-men of Lexington and Concord performed prodigies of valor. Imotionally we are convinced that all an American citizen need to do is to take down his gun and shoot the presumptious in- vader of our shores. T.et us examine the historical trutih that underlies this myth. What as a matter of fact were the minute-men of the revolution? They were cit ns -at-large whom the provincial con- gresses and the committees of safet of 1774 instructed to keep their pow- der-horns filled and hold themselves in readiness to shoot Britishers. They had had no military drill and no prac- tice except in shooting Indians and small game. They went down to defeat after de- feat; they were chronicilly under-sup- plied with ammunition; they were hardly more than an armed rabble until men like Lafayette and de Kalb took them in hand, and until untold and unnecessary hardships turned mysterious but it does not present any | | fect: | charged with a lesser crime, It seems | ness, bot PACTS AND FANCIES.

Capital Punishment, A Futile (New London Day.) An attempt is bei made to re- deem the state of Connecticut from medievalism, to purge her of future guilt of legal ssination. A bill is before the legislature putting an end to capital punishment. 1t ought to pass and be signed and become law. There are two separate principal reasons why capital punishment should be done away with. The first is that it is wicked and barbarous to | take human life, whether or not by process of law. The second that the preseription of capital punishment not only does not surpass that of life im- | prisonment as a deterrent influence upon the crime of murder but actuals 1y operates in the opposite direction. Seven states of this union have ad- vanced beyond the stage where it is deemed just and expedient to meet murder with murder; and in none of them has the percentage of homicides increased. There are more murders than clsewhere in those states where the penalty is death in a particular- ly mysterious and repellant form, the | grim, terrifying electric chair. Over and over again it has been argued. without successful contradi tion, that opportunity to accept life ! imprisonment, instead of death on the scaffold, has never yet been proven the deciding consideration in the com- mission of a homicide. The difference between the two forms of punish- ment has never been either the prem- ium that induced the taking of a life or the overcharge that discouraged it. Not one instance is on record of a murderer deciding on his crime be- cause he knew that perpetual impri: onment. not death, was to be his lot. Capital crimes are committed ecither in expectation of cheating the law al- together and e ping all punishment or under such stress of passion that no regard whatever is paid to conse- quenc But the death penalty has this ef- It ereets a barrier of pity against the just administration of the law; it enlists in the interest of a suspected, even a known, murdere a certain degree of public sympathy that would not be given to one to justify extraordinary measures of defense calculated to' defeat the ends of justice altogether. Tt affects the mind of Jurors and influ- ences them to acquittals when their better judgment leans toward conviction. It is responsible for a | large proportion of those miscarriages | of justice for which our system of | criminal jurisprudence is notorious all over the world and more than any other cause, is responsible for cur long list of unavenged homicides Beside the inherent wickednes of lega! murder, and its futility, there is another weighty reason why it should never be committed—its irrevocable- Once done it can never be un- and there is always the chance mistzke in the finding of guilt.

Yorker.) H. Hale, recent- (Rural New Our good friend J. ly made the trip to California and while there addressed the fruit grow- ers at their convention. Haile rightly received an ovation. He carried the wit and wisdom and mellow philoso- phy of New England—a human nut- meg of the right sort of wood. Among other things llale carried a pocketful of New England Baldwin apples— some of them from a tree a century old. You know how those Pacific coast people brag about their fruit, yet this is what Parker Karle says about Hale's Baldwins: “If grey old Connecticut, worn and exhausted by 500 years of farming, can grow such apples as these, right at the doors of the consumers then let Oregon and Washington look out.” “Grey old Connecticut!” You spell the word wrong. Cut out your ‘‘y” and substitute “a-t,”” and you have a truer word, great! “Worn and e hausted soil!” Why, man, did you not know that some of the most pro- i ductive farming in the world is done in the Connecticut valley? Did you know that the ten-yeuar average yield of corn in all New England was 39.3 bushels at an average price of eighty- ? The average on the Pa- cific coast is only 29 1-2 bushels at eighty cents. The average for Tl- linois is 35 1-2 bushels at fifty-four cents. “Worn and exhausted” Con- necticut stands at the head of the country in average corn yields with foryt-six bushels. Did yvou also know that last year four New England states and New York and Pennsyl- vania produced 15,912,000 bushels of those beautiful Baldwin apples, and that they have only just begun to know how to do it? Our children wiil the day when the apple orch- ards on those hills of grey New Eng-~ land will give larger annual returns than the orchards and vineyards of California. Half a century ago New England could not dream of the pos- sibilities of the Pacific coast. Today California canont dream of the pos- sibilities of the upper Atlantic wa- tershed. Champ Clark Applauded. Times change and manners change with them. A curious survival of old days is seen at Washington in the con- tinued presence of the snuffboxes from which the senators and other states- men used to help themselves. Snuff- taking is now unfashionable and tabooed in polite society, but the boxes remain, In other respects customs s more digni- ty in congress than formerly. Apropos of which the Washington correspond- en of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat tells the following: ‘“‘Smoking with one's feet elevated on the desk in front of him may be all right in the Missouri® legslature, where Champ Clark once served, but to Champ Clark, now speaker of the nationul house of representatives, it seems a little unbecoming, at least for ‘state: men,’” to assume such attitude and in- dulge their favorite habit. I recall now some years ago in the Missouri enate that immediately after the chaplain’s opening prayer Senators IField and George l.ee would take up their positions before the fireplace on cither side of the presiding officer's platforin, light their Missouri meer- ‘haurs and blow the smeke up the flues, while spitting the fire out.’ Champ has been the best adviser of the ‘Missouri meerschaum' the fac- tories in his district that make them have had, as he has given away thou- sands of them and assisted former Senator Cockrell in popularizing the pipes. However, there are no open fireplaces in the national house, but the hall is provided with abundant ‘cloakrooms' which are used for smoking and storytelling W its members and that is where Speak- er Clark thinks such things should be done, not on the floor of the house. It became necessary for him one day this wecek to call attention to the rule against smoking. He said: ‘Before tal ing up the r t bill the chair desires to make a statement. The rules of the hall. Complaint has been made to the chair more than once about members smoking in the hall. Now, there is plenty of space outside of this hall for gentlemen to smoke, And, while the chair is at it, he will suggest it is = good thing for members to ikeep their t down from the tops of the seats.® This brought applause.” Welfare of Infants, (Newark News.) There is no reason to believe that babies in Johnstown, Pa., die an carlier in their abbreviated little lives, or mare numerously in proportion to the number of births, than do babies of the average American city of Johnstown’s and character. The children’s bureau of the depart- ment of labor selected that city for a survey, probably it cal of its class, mill town with a large percentage of low-paid labor, and a report has now been made, Figures contained in that report are startling, as indicating the con- trasting hazards of baby life in ing conditions of environment, fact that sticks out 'most unmistak- is the responsibility of any and city for the welfare of the habies that are born, that must live, it they can, in its confines The responsibility of under more than one included sewerage, dirty streets with their enforcement ¢ foreccement, milk supply, tion and other things. town survery shows miles of sewers, with tne because is typi- a city head water, comes There clean g nees, w lack of en- food inspec- The Johns- forty-one only thirty-six take care of 135 miles of rects and alleys.

In the sections of the city where the ratio of baby deaths is highest, this report says, the conditions were found to be the worst.
