The Ocean Mail Service.

So far as the transmission of ocean
mails is concerned it may be assumed
that both the American and British lines
are doing the best they can to insure
the fastest posmble dispatch between
New York and London, whether by the
way of Queenstown or Southampton.

According to the report made to the
House of Commons by Mr. Arnold Mor-
ley, the Postmaster General, the White
Star steamers Majestic and Teutonic
and the American line steamers Paris
and New York had sailed from New
York with the mails ten times each since
July 1838. Four times the mails had
been delivered earlier by the British
steamers than by the American, twice
the latter had made the earlier delivery
and four times the two lines had been
on even terms. So that it would seem
to have been nearly a draw game, with
the odds slightly in favor of the Brit-
ishcrs.

The postal authorities are doubtless
acting in the interests of the service,

' having in view the importance of prompt
dispatch, without special regard to the
colors the ships fly. But from all we
can learn of the new vessels, the St.
Paul and St. Louis, new building for
the American line, the time is not far
distant when the odds as to speed will
turn in this direction.

An Exodus of Aliens.

The report that about 300 Hungarians
and a number of Italians left Brad-
dock, l’a., last week on route for their
native Countries because of the closing
down of the furnaces at Keating on
account of the fuel famine is not calcu-
latcd to encourage the belief that any
general exodus of this sort is likely to
occur.

From the fact that these men are
comfortably provided for and many of
them well supplied with money, each
of them having from $300 to $31,500, it
is evident that they are of the better
class of aliens, who, being satisfied
that the labor conditions in this coun-
try are badly out of joint, have con~
eluded to try their fortunes elsewhere.

Of another and a much larger class,
the majority of whom are just now en-
gaged in the coke or coal strikes, and
who. by reason of low wages or their
own thriftlessness, have accumulated
nothing, we do not learn that any are
taking their departure or contemplat-
ing such a movement. ‘

It is also to be apprehended that the
lliatcriul reductions in steeragc rates
made by the steamship companies,
while advantageous to those who are
leaving, will have the effect of largely
augmenting the influx and still further
ovorsiocking the labor market. ' It will
now be in the line of prudence for the
government to see that its immigration
regulations are enforced with all possi-
ble rigor and such additional restric-
tions adopted as the situation may ren-
der expedient.

Is This Equity?

Immense sums of money are constant-
ly being paid to life insurance compan-
ies by all sorts and conditions of men,
nearly always for the safeguarding of
the future of wives, children, or others
who are dear to them. Now and 'then
:1 policy is taken out for the benefit of
creditors, but as a rule the governing
consideration for the payments made
to these companies is the guarantee to
a widow or children of a sum to help
them to independence when the insured
has passed away.

Vast good is constantly being done
by the aid thus secured from the com-
panics; but it is not much to their cred-
it, and is likely to react sharply against
their business, that they so often seek
to. escape responsibility for technical
reasons. Acase in point has recently
occurred in New Jersey. A young man
insured hislife for the benefit of his
widowed mother. Some time after,
while intoxicated, he quarrelch with
another man, assaulted him, and was
killed. The company now claims that
he lost his life while committing an 11.
legal act, which, being in violation of
the contract between them, released the
company.

It is well enough to say that if this is
to be taken us law, the company should
be required to at. least repay the bene-
ficiary all the money actually paid to
it for premiums and dues, on which it

has, of course, been making good in-
terest.* " : a '

man committed this assault with the

faintest reference to the insurance, or '

that any suicide kills himself “to beat
the company.” If the beneficiary can
be shown to have had any connection
with the death, or there was any fraud
or misrepresentation in the making of
the contract, it is fair enough that the
company should escape——on refunding
what it has received. But there is no
equity or honor in pushing matters to
this New Jersey extreme, and lo pur-
sue such a policy will prove very dam-
aging to the business of life insurance
in general. '

Tobacco Outlook.

So many growers of tobacco were dis-

last year, that it seems more than like-

Sued for His Wife’s Board Bill.

The proprietors of the Murray Hill
hotel, New York, have brought suit
against Benjamin A. Bulklcy, a wealthy
resident of Southport, to recover $1,500
for the board of his wife and child.
The bill was contracted while Bulkley
was suing his wife for divorce on the
grounds of intollorablo cruc’lty. Be-
fore the suit was tried Mrs. Bulkley
brought an action for alimony and
counsel fees. Bulkley made a big fight
against paying his wife’s board at such
a high toned hostelry, but Mrs. Bulk.
ley, who came from a respectable fami-
1y, stated that she had been accustomed
to living at the best hotels and won her
case. Bulkley has failed to settle the
bill, hence the suit.

Treasurer Disappears.

A sensation was caused in Litchfield,
Monday afternoon when it: became
known that Darwin B. Randall, a well-
known merchant in the place, had dis-
appeared from town. A great deal of
suspicion was aroused afterwards, as
Randall was the treasurer and clerk of
the town, and had in his keeping the
funds collected from taxes, etc. Ran-
dall left two weeks ago, and as he had
been in the habit of going off on trips
lasting a week, his family did not worry
about h1m. His prolonged absence,
however, caused some anxiety among
the members of his family, but the fact.
that Randall was missing was kept a
family secret until Monday, when a
letter was received from the missing
town treasurer by his family stating
that he had decided to leave Litchfield
and that his family might expect never
to see him again.

“Interesting play, good scenery, im.

Sullivan’s adeption of the stage as a

become a painstaking actor soon won
recognition. In the part of Captain

, Harcourt, Mr. Sullivan is said to dis-

play an order of talent unlocked for.
His manly figure and handsome face
are supplemented by an effective re-
pose of manner, and when occasion
calls for it, a virile force of acting lit-
tle suspected hitherto. He looked es-
pecially attractive in a white flannel
suit worn in one act, but of course,
awakens the most interest when in the
last not he appears in the familiar hab-
iliments of the prize ring, and encoun-
ters Dan Dwyer in a lively bout thh

again” and the audience have a chance
to howl themselves hoarse over the

for so many years. The great John L.

Shre'wd For the Warden.

JEFFERSONVIILE, 1.1.1.. ’ May '15. -— The
story of a senational escape from the In—
diunn prison south has just leaked out.
Henry Koch was sent down from Wash-
lngtou, Daviess county, March 23, 1893, to
serve three years for grand larceny.~ On
his arrival at the penitentiary he was as-
signed to the foundry. Koch always kept
Ip with his task, but 10 days ago began to
set very strangely and showed symptoms
of insanity, growing apparently worse.
On one occasion he said to the prisoners
that he had an egg in his head.

To fortify his assertion Koch beat his
cranium against the foundry wall for the
purpose, as he expreésed it, of opening his
head and getting the egg out. This and
other queer actions convinced Warden
Patton and Deputy, Howard that Koch
was insane, and he was sent to the insane
ward. Dr. Peyton of the prison was called
and examined Koch and pronounced him
sane. The doctor so informed the officials
and recommended that he be sent back to
the foundry.

Warden Patton thought; differently and
ordered that Koch remain in the insane
ward. The latter is box shaped, 8 feet
square, and is located on the floor of one
of the shops. In some manner Koch pro-
cured a. piece of band saw, with which he
sawed ahele in the roof of his quarters
large enough for him to crawl through. A
few minutes later Koch was in the yard.
He found a. pickax and tunneled a hole un-
der the board fence, through which he
crawled to liberty. He has not been seen
or heard of since.

The Illumierer of Detective Harvey Put to
Death at Auburn. _

AUBURN. N. Y., May 15.—Lucius alias
“Dink" Wilson was put to death by elec—
tricity in Auburn prison at 12:43 p. m. to-
dav.

Wilson’s crime was the killing of J amcs
Harvey, the oldest and best known officer
on the Syracuse police force on J my 31,
1893. Harvey had arrested Wilson and the
latter’s brother Charles fornburglary and
was taking the two men through the street
to police headquarters when one of the
men drew a revolver and shot the detective
dead.

A crowd of men pursued the fugitives,
and Lucius Wilson was finally cornered
and forced to surrender, his brother cscupv
ing. Sixteen days after this arrest Charles
Wilson was arrested in Buffalo aftcru (los-
peratc resistance, and the identity of the
two men was first learned. Both were no-
torious criminals, Lucius Wilson having

been one of the five men who robbed a .

train at Glendale, Me, of $40,000, using
dynamite. The two Wilsons were joint-1y
indicted for the murder of Harvey, but
elected to be tried separately. In convict-
ing Lucius Wilson the question whether
he or his brother fired the fatal shot- was
not considered by the jury. Charles Wil-
son is awaiting trial at Syracuse.

Fatal Afl'ray In Chicago.

dox purchased a watch on time and had
fallen behind in his payments. Ellington
called to demand a settlement. Haddox
attacked him with a. hatchet, and Elling-
ton defended himself with a knife, with
the above result.

WASHINGTON, May 15.——The appeal of

ion from any of the justices.
