Edward Addicks, that good and great statesman and political protege of President Roosevelt in Delaware, built up a great fortune illumine its occasional “low morality.” Yet there are depths as low, for which public pfficials, supposed servants of the people, have an even more direct responsibility. Dr. Woodend’s clients in Wall street knew that they were “taking chances.” The financiers who cooled their heels on the Wilmington sidewalks, waiting for All for bove, and the World Well bkost? Nixola By Greeley-Smith. ENNILESS and under an as- sumed name, a young Austrian nobleman died in New York this week attended only by a woman for whom he had given up his family, his rank, and the cer- tainty of a large inheritance. He certainly had given all for love, but whether he Judged the world well lost by {t he alone could answer, and it is not recorded tuat he ever did, It 1s doubtful, however, whether men ever really find complete satisfaction in the sacrifice of worldly advancement to love, though women often do. Love may compensate them for a time, but from the very fact that they have learned almost from thelr cradles to regard {t as episodio rather than cru- cial, aa an incident rather than @ au- preme end, for them takes from its value and rendors its substitution for what they deem the more serious things of lfe—fame, money, worldly auvancement—unsatiafactory if not Im- possible, But for a woman, whose life counts just so many Joyous years to a certain man and #0 many desolate yenrs away from him, the world ta Indeed well lost for love—and the loas 1s one which only the man for whom she gave it up can make her feel However, no man need | for love; for though he ends of the earth or the ut the world Gas Trust meetings which Addicks had already “held” under advertisements which they could not possibly have seen, were at least not liable to come to want through his machinations. Even. the teachers, preachers and grocers’ clerks who bought Amalgamated Copper stock from the engaging Mr. Lawson now admit that they were rash as well as deluded. But a man who puts money In a bank is not gambling. He is not rash. He has a right to feel that it is safe. Mr. Rothschild’s less-than-$2,000,000 “get rich quick” bank and sécurity company look small beside the many-millioned “deals” of Addicks and Lawson, but they are a grave indictment of the State of New Yersey, which chartered Rothschild to swindle poor borrowers in the tenements, and of the State of New Work, which allowed him to swindle poor east side HMepositors in fis precious “bank.” Lh Less politics and more regard for public rights in {renton and Albany would be appreciated. HOCHI ST. LOUIS! Upon the opening of the World's Fair to-day, St. Louls will have the hearty congratulations of the rest of this big country. The Louisiana Purchase was a great fact and factor the greatest of fairs.

Yesterday afternoon two trunk loads of Parisian bonnets, gowns and “creations” generally were sold at auction, They had belonged to the wife of & millionaire who had “forgotten to declare them" at the Custom- House, It seems that there ts deeply imbedded in the female Dreast nn irresistible temptation to indulge in the de- LUghts of smuggling. Women whose incomes run into the hundreds of thousands will cheerfully spend uncomfortable hours on # a dirty pier for the satisfaction of cheating the Govern- ; ment out of a fifty-doller bill. Women of the highest moral and 4ntegrity, to whom on any other question the truth would ‘be most scrupulously sacred, will blandly commit the t Dlackest perjury in the good cause of defrauding the ) Custom-House. "They do not seem influenced by the practical saving actuated by feminine “general intellectual fected, but are . Se scipies.” They care not for the dollars tnvolved. * are merely after a certain intellectual and emotional satisfaction which a really artistic piece of customs perjury affords them. ‘This is in a way a just retribution on governments. For governments have a special code of ethics of their i own, doing unreproved things that would land an i Individual in prison, It {8 not therefore strange that this special code of ethics should be used -against governments as well as by them, and that they should be considered fair game for perjury by respectable ladies fm the custom-houses and by respectable gentlemen in tax offices. THE RUSSIAN “TRIUMPH.” The Russians claim to have sunk a Japanese trans- port with 200 troops. They say that they were obliged to drown these 200 men because they “obstinately refused to survonder or go on board a Russtan cruiser. Furthermore they offered armed resistance to the Russians.” There are two rensons which make this excuse appear to be false. 1. According to the Russian Admiral Yeszen's official report, before the Russians sent the 200 Japanese soldiers to the bottom they had “captured on board Seventeen officers, twenty soldiers, eighty-five military earriers or coolies and sixty-five of the crew.” How could they have captured and removed from the transport all these prisoners if the 200 soldiers had “offered armed resistance?" 2. The Russian Admiral describes his fleet as consist- ing of “two Russian torpedo boats.” How then could the 200 Japanese soldiers have “ob- etinstely refused to go on board a Russian cruiser,” when there was no cruiser there for them to go upon? No, it looks as if the 200 corpses that are now floating in the Corean Sea were the victims not of their , brave quixotism, but of the savage ruthlessness of foes. ‘Russian Czar seems disposed to court-martial {m our national history. ‘The fair which celebrates it 1s i depth for a woman, he can alwa: it cheerfully and at excursion rates, and with the return ticket In his pooket. Whatever sacrifice a woman makes she knows {s final, and when she braves the proud world's contumely she knows that she must brave it to the end. Therefore {t behooves her to be very certain of her love fore she contracts 4 marriage that will subject her to the discomforta of poverty or the sting of soclal soorn—for her love ts really all that she will have to compensate her, and she must weigh carefully whether it is compensation enough, Many women on the threshold of such a marriage would scorn to hesitate a moment from worldly considerations, but how many after the marriage w not sigh for the world they had lost for it? ‘There is no other netion which so final- ly disposes of a life as the step a woman takes when she marries a man who, whether from financtal or social ran- sons, 19 far beneath hor. If she loves him enough she may never regret it. Hut there ts very little human love reat enough to outlive the difficulties and humiliations she will have to en- dure. Une of the most foolish and fre- quent ideas 1s that everybody can and does love. Por ithe exaltations of a great passion are as far removed from the topld tenderness of everyday affection as the expressions of a great poet are {rom the utterances pf everyday speech. ‘And few and favored of the gods ure those who feel them.

The only time a married school teacher will have to devote to children of her own will be in the summer vacation, and their work is so hard that by the time the vacation season arrives most of them will be willing to sidestep on the family proposition. : “For mine, the married school teacher {s not a hit. Why a married woman should work if her husband fs able to support her is a problem that makes pioking the winners look like a proposition in headline reading, The commonly accepted idea of marriage is a union be- tween a man who is willing to earn money to keep his wife and children and a woman who {s willing to loot after the home and the children aforesaid. “It seems to me that a school teacher, when {t comes to a case of taking the name of « man and promising to love, honor and get busy, is confronted with the alternative of giving either all of her time or a small part to the husband in the case. If she thinks more of her school work than she does of her husband she ought to cut out the matrimonial performance and stick te the echoolroom. “Of course {t may be that school teachers are suoh shine choosers that they pick up men who can’t holst out a living for them, but what I know about the female pedagogue don't etand on this supposition at all The average New York school teacher is pretty, bright and interesting enough to marry anybody she wante to—if she desires to marry.
