The conviction of Lawrence Murphy, the defaulting ex-treasurer of the Stonecutters’ Union, important as it is, is of less consequence to the public than the prose- tutions which are to follow the disclosures of extortion elicited during Murphy's trial are likely to be. j The court proceedings have made available for the District-Attorney’s use a mass of sworn testimony re- garding large payments of money to Inbor leaders under pressure and in circumstances which render the extortion to all intents and purposes a levy of black- mail. This evidence is now in course of preparation for the scrutiny of the Grand Jury. If is a confident expectation that out of its presentation there will com Dumerons indictments for criminal pra And it is} to be hoyed that the probe will be pushed to where the guilt realy Hes and the indletments distributed with equal j y among the blackmatiler and the tach malled s contractor and walking delegate alike.

The field would seem to be a fertile one and the con- stituency such as a city of 5,000 inhabitants furnishes. This daily has the advantage of the best wireless tele- graphic facilities, Marconi messages sufficient to make an excellent showirg of “foreign news.” For its local columns it has an endless extent of possibilities in counts, diplomats, steel kings, theatrical managers, mem- bers of the actresses, promoters, gamblers going abroad to buy old masters, vaudeville favorites coming across to secure a salary of $3,000 a week, prima donnas ageolutas, anarchists returning from the sale of art treas- ‘ures to distinguished connolsseurs—many, indeed, of the World’s most Interesting people cabined and confined and at close range within a ship's wails for a week. A new Paper well edited under such conditions should be one of the most entertaining of publications. The high play in the emoking-room, the scandal about the attentions of the passenger in cabin 240 to the lady in 273, a full stenographic report of the customary “indigna- tion meeting,” the news of the new merger given out by the king of finance, the announcement of the capture ot the heiress by the count just after the lunch hour abaft the bridge— An editor awake tc his opportunities could make a lively sheet of a mid-ocean daily WEAK HEARTS AND PLEASURE. A Newark woman died from heart failure the other might while dancing. Another Newark woman on the following day died from the same cause while bathing at Probably neither of these victims of sudden death knew thut pleasurable effort puts as severe a strain on the heart as exertion that is painful. The danger ts with persons in whom any organ Is weak that the zest of agreeable exercise blinds them to the warning which in less pleasing exertion is given by fatigue. Mrs. Lischicik used up more vital force in a round of some walk. Mrs. Brown by buffeting breakers for fifteen minutes subjected her heart to shocks of great severity, but rendered far less appreciable because of the stimu- lating influences of air and water and the excitement of moment. ‘The weak hearts which they strained to bursting ‘might have lasted them with care until old age.

The the courts recalls to the minds of old members of the New York Yacht Club the extraordinary way Garner, in 1876, came to his death on his yacht, his wife and three others perishing with him, The party was all down in the cabin when a little squall came up on the lower bay, where they were galling. The captain came to anchor, but did not take in his topsatis, and the yacht keeled over. It was ono of the most astounding blunders, in the opinion of sailors, ever made by a captain. Garner at the time was only thirty-three years old. The three daughters who are awarded the $16,000,- 000 at this late day lve abroad, one belng the Marchioness de Breteull, of France; another Lady Gordon Cumming, of England, and the third Countess L. de Moltke-Hultfeldt, of Germany.

HOW A WIFE IS CHOSEN. The Various Charms Which Attract the Average Man. By Helen Oldfield. I’ is & matter or surprise, when one comes to think of ft how little marked ability in any walk of life apparently helps a man in the choice of a wife. It is not merely that few men sccin to follow the example of the Vicar of Wake- field, who "chose hie wife she did her wedding gown, not for a fine, glossy surface, but for such qualities as would wear well.” No one marvels when any one marries a woman for her beauty, Besides, a ‘fine, glossy surface’ 1s a good thing in Its way. It 14 highly desirable that the wife of @ prominent man shonla do him credit outwardly, should look well at the head of his table and appear well in pubilo; but this desider- atum, lke others, is often lacking. Liven men who, as the phrase goes, seo through people (and that there are those to whom this faculty is given in high degree no one can deny) may prove curiously dlind when it comes to taking a woman to wife. Skill in selecting the right men for any and all positions by no means presupposes the same acumen tn affairs of the heart. The oft-quoted woman who declared that she bad long ago given up the effort to understand why anybody married any one might have made the declaration with equal | truth had her ecquaintance included men of talent during & dozen generations. Neither brilliance of intellect nor sound, good sense in other matters of moment is any guarantee of clearsighted- ness in love. Everywhero and at all times among 8 (aia majority of wise selections one finds cases of utterly inex- plicable blundering, says Helen Oldfield in the Chicago Teib- une. All of us know men of brain whose wives seem totally unsuited to them—women who are not merely commonplace, but stupid, tactless, and sometimes positively disagreeable— altogether {mposaible. Often, no doubt, the disparity between man and wife fs due to the fact that the marriage has taken place In youth, and, while the man has been steadily forging ahead in the race of life, the woman who stood upon his level on the wed- ding day has beon left far behind him, Iife and custom, bear heavily upon woman in some re- spects; wives and mothers who do their duty worthily and well In the trifles which make up the sum of human life have small opportunity (for self-improvement and are usually The husband gves out Into the world as a man among men, his wit and Intellect sharpened, “as iron sharpeneth tron by contact with others, hls mind improves by travel and his manners take on polish; but the wife finds her sphere bound- ed by the four walls of home; a Martha, cumbered with much serving, she counts herself to have done much if she fitly fills that sphere. How can she be otherwise than commonplace? However, a woman may be commonplace and yet make en excellent wife. She may make his home a haven of rest and refreshment to her husband, may look up to him with pride and rejoice in his achievements, and «he may train hts chil- dren wisely and well, being one of the mothers to whom it fe due that the strength of a nation is found in its homes. It is not the commonplace wives of brilliant men who ¢: cite astonishment, but those who are stupid, disagreeable and even il!-bred. ‘There has long been « secret dellef that genius, if not nearly akin to Insanity, has at least no fellowship witt{ tom- mon #ense, No cne, for example, expects a genius to be practical; the eccentricities of genius are proverbial. Nevertheless, there are exceptions. Browning and Tenny~ son-proved conclusively that sound business judgment and poesy of the highest order might find place in the same brain cells. So also Rudyard Kipling is reported to have a keen eye for the main chance and to be erratic only when it 1g to his interest to be so. But despite these notable exceptions, one judges the errors of the heaven-born with pitying leniency. SCOUTING DOGS. ‘The German Army is to be provided with Airedale terrfera for scouting duties, says a German newspaper. After many ‘trials the Airedale and the German pointer have préved to be the most useful for war use, but the keenness of scent of the former places it far ahead of the German type. Official instructions have recently been circulated to the German ‘Army that the terriers are to be employed as the eyes and ears of an anmy in the field, as they are much more reliable than men and horses, owing to invisibility for certain recon- naissance work in front of an enemy. The Airedale terrier can unearth, it is claimed, @ patrol which would be hidden to man, and for carrying information the dogs are of considerable value. They oan be used ve- tween a patrol and the main body, or for linking up posts, and, being small, their presence fs unnoticed. A number of pure-bred Alredales are to be obtained for breeding purposes, and it 1s proposed to attach to each Jaeger battalion two dogs of abnormal intelligence, trained to carry from front to rear and return, Every regiment will have from half a dozen to a dozen dogs. OFFICIAL BAGGAGE, The Pnglish railways are about to devise a plan by which the loss of baggage in transit may Ve reduced to a minimum. In England there has hitherto been no adequate system of registering baggage, 80 that if the plece Is stolen and re placed by another the loss {s not discovered until the owner attempts to identify what he does not recognize. In the first quarter of the present year the French railway compantes paid no less than $1,800 as reimbursement to clients from | whom packages had been stolen.
