The P. M. and The P. a.
According to a Washington dispatch
President McKinley hasldecided to ré- '
move a postmaster in West Virginia for
the reason that he recently acted as one
of the principals in a prize fight under
the Marquis of Q ieeusberry rules. The
fact that the postmaster knocked out
his man by a sci :ntific blow in the eighth
round does not in the least mitigate his
\ofi'ense in the eyes of the Presuient,
and he will in turn be knocked over the
ropes and land outside his office. It
seems that the postmaster’s offense is
heightened in the eyes of the Chief Ex-
ecutive of the nation by the fact that
helis also the proprietor of a newspaper,
and printed a full and graphic account
of the fight in the columns of his jour-
nal. To add to the chagrin of the prize
fighting postmaster his hated rival in
the newspaper business, otherwise his
“esteemed contemporary,” is to be ap-
pointed in his place. This last will be
a blow that will test to the fullest his
ability to “stand punishment,” as we
saylin the pugilistic circles. In all its
aspects the incident should be accepted
as a good omen.- There is a decided im-
provement in the moral tone of the
people, as rtfl :cted in the action of the
President, since John M'irrissey was
elected to Congress.
o.
The Eastern Problem.
The situation in the East does not
grow any simpler with the lapse of time,
though one gleam of common sense ap-
pears in the suggestion now attributed
to the foreign admirals, that Crete can
lie‘pacified only by the withdrawal of
the Turkish troops. This is what the
Greeks said long ago and what England
was understood to have suggested. If
the powers are going to take charge of
Crete, because of the incapacity of the
Turks to' govern it, the first step that
would suggest itself would'be to make
the Turks stand aside. ‘
But it looks more and more as though
not only were the powers farther then
ever from any real concert, but that the
sort: ty of some of them to preserve the
peace of Europe was not any too sin-
cere. The similarly sensible suggestion
that Greece and Turkey should each be
made to withdraw its troops from the
frontier is rejected by Russia as im-
practicable, and the blockade of Greece
is insisted on. The only conceivable
purpose of this, under the circum-
stances, is to force the fighting.
Nobody has ever supposed that the
Russian championship of peace had any
other present reason than that the Rus-
sian opportunity did not appear quite
ripe. It is easily conceiwble that the
diplomatic complicitions of the past few
weeks have changed the situation sufli-
ciently to make postponement no longer
necessary. If Russia can so manoeuvre
as to be left the sole guardian of the
peace of Europe, it will give her great
advantage in undertaking the pacifica-
tion of the Turkish Empire on her own
account, in the way so long desired and
prepared for.
Tesla on Long’ Life and Sleep.
Nicola Tesla, the electrical genius,
defines sleep as a sort of cumulative
storage battery for human energy, and
holds that when a man really lives he
is dying hour by hour, and that when
he is a sleep he is in reality accumulat-
ing vital force which Will make him go
on living. Mr. Tesla, therefore, thinks
that the longer a man sleeps, the longer
he will remain on earth, and he believes
that a man who would learn to sleep
eighteen hours a day might live 200
years
Apparently there is some comfort in
this bold assertion for the sleepy-head,
but Mr. Tesla, being .an exceedingly
V industrious and active man himself,
hardly means to encourage this sort of
individual in his lazy ways. In fact, he
sets up as examples of his assertion De
Lesseps and Gladstone, two of the
busiest men the world has produced.
Both have slept much and both have
been favored with long lives. The se-
cret of their success and long duration
of life lies probably in thefact that they
have both been hard workers and hard
sleepers. When they were awake they
were wide awake and active, and when
the sleepy-head is that he is never Wide
awake and never fast asleep. Conse-
quently, he is never blessed with a suc-
cessful career nor a long life.
The division of the day into- proper
periods of work, recreation and sleep is
never perfect, and although there can
be no question that the building up pro-
cess in man goes while he is asleep, few
will accept Mr. 'Tesla’s assertion that
the longest possible life.
the statement be capable of proof, who,
after all, wants to live 200 years if he is
compelled to sleep three-quarters of that
time? We want to live all the days of
our lives. Why not live 70 years and
be in possession of our senses for two-
thirds of that time? For 70 years, with
eight hours of sleep a day gives more
than 46 years of active wakefulness,and
200 years, with eighteen hours of daily
sleep, results in only 50 years of real
life. ' ‘

_ The Sages.
Mr. and Mrs. X. LaMotte Sage, who,
for the past five years, have everywhere
been testing the capacity of the theatres,
Norwalk, at Hoyt’s Theatre, during the
Whole oi this week, in an entertainment
devoted to honest, legitimate hypno-
tism. The performances given by
these clever people are said to be truly
wonderful.
Sowing the Wind.
What has been freely admitted the
greatest and most enduring of modern
dramatic productions, “Sowing the
Wind,” was presented at Hoyt’s Thea-
tre, Saturday night, before a fair but
appreciative audience. The company
was an excellent one and the drama was
highly enjoyed. ‘
