The Philadelphia Bullet-in gives a timely caution to its readers in advis- ing them to “draw the long bow on the yarns of our.Barney Bernatos, who are Klondyke ‘companies’ and proving how a fortune can be made on a dollar a share.” ‘ ' The tales of almost fabulous wealth ' to be had for the picking up, that have come from the Klondyke region, would have failed of one of the usual effects of such reports if they had not started a wild fever of speculation. To get a part of the Klondyke gold with; out encountering any of the hardships incident to a journey to that fearfully inhospitable section of the continent, and without paying its value, would be a delightful thing. to millions of per- sons of all ages and conditions. There were millions of people in Europe a year or two ago who had a ravenous de- sire for enrichment through the South African gold fields. 5 But only a few of them succeeded, and most of them did so at the cost of their less fortunate as- sociates. The speculation in' mining stocks started in London and soon spread» to every important city on the continent. The rich put in their thousands and the poor their small savings in a wild carnival of stock gambling. Some of the shares rested on actual values—on mines that had been developed and found to be productive. Those invest- ors whose luck it was to get into these cOrporations got their money back’, if they bought on the ground floor. But millions Of shares represented no value, and those who bought and held them lost their money. . That lesson is applicable to the Klondyke companies. That there is a vast :deal of gold in the Yukon no one questions. That honest cempanies have been and will be organized to prosecute mining there is not doubted. But it will be wise, for any person de- siring to invest in Klondyke shares to take the precaution to investigate. It is not easy to get something for noth- ing, and those who promise it furnish ground for suspicion. .___._-....>.._____ Flogging in Public Schools. "Flogging for Children Only” is the somewhat startling heading of an edi— torial in the Milwaukee Sentinel. The writer refers to the failure of efforts in various States to enact new laws or rc-r vive old ones providing the punishment of the lash for wife-heaters. We are further advised that within a few weeks “Wisconsin has been shocked and the press of the State aroused to general expression of indignation by charges that the superintendent of the State Reform School has employed the whip as a porrective instrument upon the hardy and incorrigible lads placed in that institution because they could not be controlled by their parents or guard- ians or State laws outside of it. ” Thus it appears that the same public sentiment which, in Maryland and New York has prevented the application of 3 the whip,to the lash-deservingbacks of the brutes who habitually beat their wives, cries out against the flogging of “l-efractorywyoung rascals in the State reformatory.” There is far less Of un- I'eas'onableness in opposing this method of punishment as a matter of discipline in a reform school, a prison for juve- n-ile offenders, than in crying out against it as a substitute for the jail in the case of wife-heaters. We are in- clined to think that flogging for disci- pline in any penal institution may well be avoided. It is always liable to be brutally abused, and there are other methodsof enforcing obedience to pris- on regulations that are less repulsive. But to do away with the jail sentence for wife-heaters and -the cost of feed- ing, sheltering, and guarding them; to give them their punishment with the whip,.and let‘them go, is a plan that commends itself alike to reason and, humanity; to reason, because such pun- ishment fits the crime; to humanity, because it will be the most effectual de- terrent. ’ Butpthe reason why our Milwaukee contemporary puts up the caption \ “Flogging for Children Only” is found I in the astonishing fact that flogging, which will not be tolerated in the State Reform School, is recognized as quite the proper thing in the” public schools of Milwaukee. The Sentinel says that “if a ten-year-old child in the Milwau- kee public schools proves indifferent to the rules, or becomes insubordinatc, the only effectual remedy 'which has been discovered by refined civiliz'atiOn as represented in the School Board and in the teachers who practice advanced educational methods is to give the child what public sentiment and the law will not admit to be administered to the worst urchins in the State or the meanest criminals behind the bars, lest hatred and bitterness be instilled in their minds.” That is simply shocking, and it proves that Milwaukee is a long way from the van of the educational pro- cession. There should be no more need of arguing against flogging in the schools than against slavery or polyg- amy; for, although these three eVllS differ in magnitude, they are alike in being Condemned by advanced civiliza- tion.

Henry Aupert and His Wife, Tired-of Life Committed Suicide. , , Jersey City, Aug. 3.—-—Henry Aupert and his wife were found dead today side by side at their home, 45 Lincoln street, with three gas jets turned on in their room. They sent their servant away last night, and in her absence committed suicide together. Aupert was 58 years aid and his wife was 56. They were Germans and lived on the second floor of a dwelling house. Their servant obtained leave yesterday to visit friends and was away all night. She returned today and found the doors of the Auperts' rooms locked. She knocked, but got no response. She called out, with the same result. She tried several times, but could notiwake either the man or his wife. risers, and the servant became fright— ened. She noticed a slight smell of gas in the hallway and went out to search for a policeman. Roundsman Richards of the Webster avenue station returned with -her and broke down the door. They found Aupert and his Wife dead in bed together. Gas was flowing from three jets which were turned on full. Dr“ Zola, whom the policeman called, said that the pair had been dead for hours. ' A 'letter on the table removed any doubt. that the police might have had that the pairlhadcommitted suicide. It was'written in German and address- ed to George Raven of 458 Central ave— nue, Jersey City. It said that the pair were tired of life and intended to end it together.
