THE DEMAND OF JUSTICE, ‘While it is more than likely that the two victims of the Good Ground tragedy came to their deaths by acci- dent, it is also possible that they may have been mur- dered. The latest developments tend to confirm this theory and impose on the county authorities the impera- tive duty of holding a real and satisfactory inquest. ‘The first step to this end should be the removal of) the case from the control of Coroner Nugent. A Coroner who frankly says, “I didn't make a closer examination because J didn’t like to touch the body, but if I had known all this fuss was going to be ‘made over the case | I would have acted differently,” is evidently unfitted for the very important responsibility involved in this matter.

But Miss Taylor is a permanent clerk under classified civil-cervice rules, and as such is exempt from removal except for sufficient cause shown at a full andj i regular hearing. The rule quoted by the Secretary in i diemissing her had nothing to do with the case, and his unlawful course is not strengthened by the argument that tho effective administration of the Department re- quired the dismissal of Miss Taylor. The legal rights of a department clerk are as sacred @s those of the Secretary of War, and it would look better if the civil-service rules were respected by an ‘Administration headed by an ex-President of the Civil- rice Commission. A successfil appeal to the law by Miss Taylor would place Secretary Root in an unenvi- able position. the} THE MOSQUITO PROBLEM, The mosquito exterminators of South Orange have quit feeding kerosene to the gallinipper gourmets of that : section. They found that their methods of exterminating { did not exterminate. On the contrary, the mosquitoes y waxed fat and strong on the oil and there was an ap- palling prospect of the creatures growing to megatherian proportions if this diet were kept up. Now they are going to let South Orangeites as individuals tackle the a mosguito proposition, and the recommendation they 3 make is that each landowner do his best to discourage 3 the ’nipper by draining his property and starving the ¢ritters out. The old-time recipe which called for first the cap- ture of the mosquito and then the choking of him to death with a brick seems to be about the only reliable exterminator that is left to the mosquito hunt Oil ts simply nuts for him; bonfires fill him with a new sort of gluttonous glee; mosquito-netting only makes him laugh : for he has studied out its intricacies and skips through it like a circus lady through a paper hoop. He has cir- | cumvented every human plan for his destruction, and nothing really remains for the mosquitophoboist to do ‘but to lay in a stock of bricks and try the ruthless recipe thet is here given. ‘.

THE CHRISTIANS AND THE TURKS. ‘Answer to the puazle of the fifteen Christians and fifteen ‘Turks, every ninth man of whom was thrown overboard and all the Christians saved. ‘The method of arranging the thirty persons may be de- duced from these two lines in English: 4 6.3 wi of “From numbers’ ald and art 33 4 12,21 Never will fame depart.”” Attention must be paid to the vowels a, ¢, 4, 0, u, con- tained in the syllables of phese verses; observing that a is equal to 1, ¢ to 2,1 to 3,0 to4 and u to 5, You must begin them by arranging 4 Christians together, because the vowel in the firat syllable is 0; then 5 Turks, because the yowel in the second syllable ts u, afd so on to the end.» By proceed- ing in this manner, it will be found, taking every ninth per- son circularly, that 4s to say, beginning at tho first of the row, after it is ended, that the lot will fall entirely on the Turks.
