" _ OUR BOER VISITORS. | ‘The decision of tho homeward-bound Boers not to ac- cept any demonstration or public recognition while in} thle gity shows that their courtesy !s on a par with | their courege. It proves that they fully appreciate the | delicate position in which they are placed by the terms Of pence and by their duty as subjects of the British “crown. Their courso should be especially gratifying to | the British government ar an evidence that their late op | ponents accept the new situation in good faith, and that the men who have been such good fighters will now make equally good citizens. It is not often that the losers in a struggle accept their defeat so manfully. Our own case at the close of the civil war, however, furnishes a parall As long as the war lasted both sides fought as hard as they knew how, and as soon as the war was ended both sides were equally earnest in their support of peace. The Boers are a remarkable race and it can do them ‘no harm to let them know that the American people con- sider them fine fellows. THE LATIMER INQUEST. In the interest of simple justice it is to be hoped that the Coroner's inquest which begins to-day will throw the fall light of publicity on every circumstance connected with the strange and unexplained murder of Albert C. Latimer. . ‘This means that the proceedings at the inquest must be in complete contrast with the action of the authorities during the period betwven the shooting and the death of ‘the victim. The murder was an unusually crue) and atrocious one, and in any case of unquestioned murder any at- tempt at the suppression of evidence or the obstruction of official action is an interference which can have only the most sinister motive and which naturally arouses the worst suspicions. The first requirement of justice in this case wus that the ante-mortem statement of the victim should have been officially taken down and at- tested and chat his condition when making it should «have been officially verified. The tactics which sucess- -fally obstructed this ordinary procedure of justice are responsible for a condition of affairs which may result ‘ not only in a failure to punish the murderer but also in , ® cruel wrong to an innocent person. THE OVER-ZEALOUS OFFICERS. ,. For the discipline of the service and by way of re- buking the too-abundant zeal which is sometimes as un- becoming in n officer as dereliction of duty we should think that Detectives Nugent, Sackett and Costigan Ought to be called down for their raid on the Hillsburg Ping-Pong Club. ‘These minions of the law became sus- vicious of a house in Wert Twenty-seventh street be- | , cause its front door possessed a grating. As if they had) never seen the elalorate grill work adorning the en- trance portals of millionaires’ mansions they imperti- , Bently sought to verify their suspicions, When the door | was opened they found within the house a harmless ping-pong table with one racket and a ball lying con- spicuously on it and with a number of men grouped | about and a table at which two quit persons were play- ing chockers. Obviously a gentleman's club of a kind with which “every Tenderloin detective ought to be famillar, A man’s houre may not be bis castle to the extent that it was in England in former times; publicity now exacts a -certain penalty from us in this particular, But at least -it should be sccure from an unwarranted invasion such -a8 was made by these officious officers prying into a ‘privacy they should long ago have been taught to re- -snect, NEWPORT SERVANTS. Life below stajrs at Newport has been enlivened this “summer by numcrous episodes of a diverting nature. First | came the revolt of the Berwind servan They had | everything that Jeames Yellowplush thought a servant should have to be contented—"plenty of work, plenty of wittles, plenty of wages"’—yet they were not happy. The work was rather too plentiful. the grounds of the Berwind villa, sixty strong in double marching column, the butler at the head of the line, was | ‘the most notable event in Rhode Island rebellions since -Bhay's. |. Following this insurrection came the lesser revolt of the Pembroke Jones servants. And yesterday the de- corous quiet of the Berwind home was disturbed by an exchange of personalities between servants as a result of ‘which one is said to be dying. A retainer of the old regime, the butler’s helper, sought to serve the coffee in defiance of the orders of the second butler, a new ser- vant. Hence the encounter, the claret-tapping episode and the removal of the victim to the hospital. It ts painful to observe these manifestations of a pres- ent discontent among the aristocracy of their kind, If our first geutlemen’s gentlemen and ladies show them- welves so disregardful of the high standard of conduct demanded of them what may we not look for in the kitchens of humbler homes? In itself the deterioration of manners is deplorable; in its far-reaching conse- quences portentous, THE LOYAL MILLWRIGHT, While Mr. Cleveland was fishing in a Massachusetts Jake last summer with two companions, Dr. Bryant and Mr. Cassius Scranton, millwright, of Winsted, the game Wardens pounced upon the party and demanded satis- faction for an undersized bass found in their possession Jnstantly and without thought of the consequences, as a young brave in battle might leap before his chief to re- vive in nis own heart the arrow destined for the other, Scranton assumed the blame and was haled to court and| fined. “But he never caught that fish,” says Mrs, Scran ,ton. However that may be, Scranton yesterday received an invitation to go fishing again with Mr. Cleveland. ) Which would indicate that though republics may be | ful their ex-presidunts are not. And also shows ) thie porsession by Scranton of qualities of true loyalty, « The Man ready to jump Into the imuninent deadly breach: | ‘Ae Save his chict in the old ays of knightly romance, a “aecoutred as he was’ plunging headlong into e atream to rescue Caesar, how did he excel in heroic of devotion the millwright of Winsted thus rising lly to avert the angry majesty of the law trom the | '@ former Chief Magistrate?

Camille Flammarion | | proposed a new calendar with a new livision of the year and new names for the months. His proposal has evidently borne fruit, for a little almanac has just been issued at Madrid tn which the} year Is divided into four periods of three months each, all equal and of ninety-one days. The new style of ye: begins March 21, and has an extra holl- day to make up the 365 days which na- ture invented. The months are named in order: Truth, Science, Wisdom; Ju: tlce, Honor, Goodness; Love, Beauty, | haven, Humanity; ‘Happiness, Progress, Ir mortality,’ It gives a vivid Idea of the lelsure at the command of certain of our fellow-beings to read solemn pseudo- scientific fooling of the sort.

In fact, she opened her kind heart very thoroughly to the lady of the cuticle scissors and pink pow- The latter cherished these ducal notes highly and J that she knew more of the Duchess's affairs than her own mother, Mrs, O. H. P. Belmont. At this point the serpent entered the garden. People got wind ‘of the correspondence and over the trimming and pol- {shing of their nails bribed the unworthy manicure to show thunt the Duchess letters, Besides the regular fee for the pollshing process, the manicure person began to reap large profits. This went on for some time, the enemies of the Duchess being filled with glee. Then Mrs. O. H. P. heard of the matter, ust before sailing, and she resolved to tel! the Duchess al! ebout ft, With her usual kind heart, the Duchess refused to distrust her protege. But an expedient was hit upon, A decoy letter was sent the manicure, con- tatalng an utterly absurd story. In no time it was spread in Newport, and those who call themselves the Duchess’s ene- mies chuckled aud{bly over it. Thus was the unworthy per- non of the file and red paste unmasked, and the correspond- ence between Blenheim Castle and Newport's back street is no more.-The New Yorker, A DOUBLE-EDGED JOKE, According to the Bostonian, Boston fs the ‘hud of the uni- verse, That cultured city also prides itself on speaking the very best and purest King’s English, says the London Ex- press.
