Some of the more turbulent and reckless spirits among the strikers at Shenandoah are doing their best to hurt their own cause and to help the enemy by sneak- Ing end cowardly stoning of the militia by night. This is a dangerous pastime which is not like last long, It is an indication, however, that there will be no such egregious folly as an attempt at organized resistance to the militia, It may be taken as a proof that at Shenandoah and elsewhere the nearly unanimons sentiment of the miners supports John Mitchell in his demand that the Jaw shall be respected and order main- tained. Whatever the result of the strike may be it has served a useful purpuse and taught a useful lesson. It has called out un expression of public sentiment on the question of interference with non-union men as part of the programme of a strike and the verdict of public sentiment has been unanimous against it. This is a lesson worth learning and worth heeding. It teaches that strikers who resort to violence need ex- pect no sympathy, that if a strike cannot succeed with- obt lawlessness it can have no hope of success, and that threats, menaces, intimidation and interference with the rights of others as incidents of a strike are finally and forever a thing of the past. MURDERS THAT WILL NOT OUT, The week opens in New York with the ghastly dis- covery of the body of an unknown man murdered and robbed in Central Park near one of the park gates. There are no witnesses, there is no clue to the identit: of the victim, nothing is known of the circumstances under which he met with his death, and the case, we are told, “puzzles” the police. That will probably be the end of it. In the light of detectives to solve this last addition to the rapidly in- creasing list of murder mysteries. Detective skill falls to find a single clue to the murder of Catania in Brook- lyn, the Latimer case is as much of a mystery as ever, the public has probably forgotten all about Georg: Baker, who was shot down and killed in his saloon on July 21, and about Walter E. Hutchinson, found dying in the street from a fractured skull on June 2, This is a depressing record for three months. It does not speak well for the efficiency of our detective staff. Indeed, we may put the case much stronger than in which the police have been able to solve the mystery. RED-LIGHT RESORTS TO GO, Another new broom has begun its work on the east slide and we are promised an Immaculate condition of affairs in a spot never conspicuous for cleanliness, The favored section Is the Eldridge street precinct, the orlg- inal red light region. Capt. 4 has taken charge there, intimated yesterday that he would soon make his precinct blossom like the rose J morally. He does not propose to “make war on the t pushcart men and the petty offenders," that would be like shooting qual! in an antelope country. No such ee small deer for the Captain. Others may fill station- ; house blotters with this kind of game and get credit for a large number of arrests, but Gallagher is after the “big offenders—divekvcepers who do business under a Raines law license,” It is a commendable ambition and New York will Applaud him when it is accomplished. But the promise it before? Was it Price who started out to do a similar Job of cleaning? precinct, had large ideas on this line, too. The spirit 13 frequently willing but somehow the flesh is weak in these matters. But there was that great capture of pushcart women early in the summer. Credit should not es be withheld for that effort toward the moral regenera- ah tion of the enst side. SUNDAY STORMS. An old-fashioned parson would have some difMficulty in interpreting the meaning of the Sunday electrical storm. The regularity with which the heavens open their flood gates and permit a play of celestial artillery &c., on that day of rest would show at first thought ib grave indication of divine displeasure,” as the pulpit phrase might be, “over the desecration of the Sabbath y by outing parties.” But y impartial favor, treating Trojan and Tyrian alike and dropping as the gentle rain from heaven on the just and wnjust, crashed into the pilot-house of a Sound exeur- sion steamer aud demolished the steeples of Coney Isl- re and and Galilee churches. Here was something that RMeither the parson nor the Roman augur could quite | explain satisfactorily. Nor can the meteorologists enlighten us as to why a h hot and humid Sunday |s so inviting an occasion for an electrical storm, Atmospheric conditions are presum- ably not different then from those prevailing on week! i. days, But the Sunday excursionist, picknicker or! Dicyelist or pedestrian will affirm the statement that such storms this summer have been frequent and violent beyond precedent.

Recent speculation rezarding the or- {gin of the human race hag led to more careful study of some of the earliest known remains, Including the so-called “man of spy," the Neauderthal skeleton and the creature—human or sem!-haman —some of whose bones were discovered several years ago in Java, Two Ger- man anatomists, who have given much attention to the subject, are confident, says Success, that the first-mentioned skeletons must be ascribed to a distinct specien of man which they have named Homo Neauderthallenals, ‘The Javanene whicl skeleton, {te discoverer calls x ee dow! ‘ey the Cholly Clerker—What?
