Established the Precedent.
The Ansonia Sentinel says: “It was
Adam, the first man, who established
the precedent of throwing the blame
For his sin on the woman, and “his de-
smdants have been following his ex-
ample ever since. Boinay, the most
Tlirutal murderer Connecticut ever saw,
proposes even on the gallows, ten min-
utes before he dies, to throw the blame
for hiscri'me onhis wife, and this in
' the face of the fact that he was .a de 3-
perate, hardened criminal before he
ever met-her. He may make declara-
tion. from now until his execution, but
having been proven an unconscionable
liar in court it is strange ' if any one
I). .lieves him, or if any one thinks the
loss of his wife for what he says. It
will be a good day for Connecticut
when the rope tightens about this vil-
lain's neck.” .

The Salvation Booths.
Now that William Bobth and his son
‘Ballingt-on, after. protracted negotia-
tions conducted through their plenipc-
tentiaries, have had an interview and
separated without either breaking the
peace or piecing the break, we hope
that they for a time, efface
themselves as far as possible, says the
New York Tribune- The witnesses in
whos e presence father and son finally
will,
consented to meet” are presumably pre-
pared to refute any misrepresentations
which may emanate from [overzealous
pprtisans of either. and no good reason
therefore, appears why the principals
should notgive their entire time to the
task of saving souls,’ each according to
his oWn ideas of the methods and. dis-
cipline best adapted to that supreme
end. It must be admitted that such a
course of conduct would subject them
to a severe strain; but they ought at
least to attempt it, remembering w hat
they have caused countless others to en-
dure in 1ecent years by their incessant
strife. It is natural that they should
suppose the whole country to be wait:
ing‘ in breathless suspense for the re-
sult of the elder Boorh’s visit. if, as
seems to be the fact, each honestly
deems himself the most important in-
.dividval now living in the world. But
in the interest of truth and religion, we
must assure them that such supremacy
really belongs to neither.
How much good the Salvation Army
was doing before the Booths began
. their open quarrel there is no means of
calculating. :Our impression
has been that the total was large. But
The impossible to suppose that the ex-
,Ei-ibition of evil passions and cOlossal
vanity which has been going on during
éhe last two years has not done an im-
mense amount of harr... It has been a
constant betrayal,
those most likely to be' unfortunately
influenced , thereby, of the cause to
i which these spectacular professors of
she Gospel of Christ are ostensibly de-
voted. A long period of pure and
peacefill effort to raise the fallen,
strengthen the weak, succor the afflict-
strong
under the eyes of
ed and evangelize the world will not
more than repairthat injury. An ab-
surd .amount of publicity has been be-
stowed upon the Eooths at their solici'
tation by the newspapers. The best
return that they can now make is to
take themselves personally out of 0b-
. servation, concentrating upon a disin-
terested employment of the. forces un-
der their commands the energy which
they have been dissipating in public
clamor against one another.
’It is proper to say before taking
leave of this unpleasant subject that
from the moment of their separation
the father has appeared to the people
of this country a considerably moreob-
jectionable person than the son. The
originalfeeling was that, the latter had
good reason for distrusting a leader-
ship whieh appeared to hold American
‘ ways, proclivities and institutions in
contempt,'and if he‘ had been content
‘w'it'n justifying his action to the Amer-
ican people by a simple record of good
1701 ks instead of try Ingfto make them
a party to the quarrel might have

SHE WAS CAUGHT BY A GIRL.
The Benevolent Old LM'y Proved to be a
Notorious Character.
The Philadelphia Press says. that the
female store"'detective is one of the
features of department store develop—
ment, and as that city has some of the
largest department stores in the coun-
try it is but natural that many of the
stOre detectives should become excep-
tionally shrewd? An illustration of
the peculiar shrewdness required was
fumished by the detection the other
day of a notorious shoplifter and her
confederate by .a. youngwoman who is
employed solely to prevent thievery.
The young person suspected a benevo-
lent-looking old lady because the old
‘
heavy. She followed her to the, street,
and, as the old lady’s skirts did not
flap in the strong wind that was blow-
ing, she. had her arrested; It turned
out that the old lady was “Queen Liz,”
one of the'most notorious female rob-
bers in the country. Her confederate,
who was captured also, is known as
“Big Kid,” Morgan. ' The strange part
of it all is that a pair of rogues whose
wits should have been sharpened by
several successive terms in jail should
have been run to earth by a “slip of a
girl" whose horizon has been the
walls of a department store.
Ancient Holy Wine.
in the wonderful wine cellar, under

are twelve cases of holy wine, each
case inscribed with the name of one of
the Apostles.
This ancient wine was deposited in
its present resting place 265 years ago.
HOW TO F__IND ou1'.V
Fill a bottle or common, glass with
urine' and let it stand ’twenty-four
hours: a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
Of kidney t1 ouble.- Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder one out of order.
WHAT To DO.
‘ Ther'e 1s comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmers
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish): in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
own v part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beet. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a. medicine you should have
the best. Sold by d1 uoglsts, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent

WASHINGTON NOTES
Former Senator John Tomes 1115; .115
If Kansas is largely responsible f01
he wo11d— wide belief that " “asking.1
on is the best gov 01119(l(.‘ll\- in the
vorld.” Mr. Ingalls made this impor.
ant announcement either in the course .
If a speech in the. Senate 01 in an ar- -
icle published over his signature at a
jam when he was clntinnan of the
Senate Committee on the District of V
Jolumbia, and, theieforc. eSpeI iall)
yell informedpn matters of municipal
government at the national capital.-~ In
some respects his words were true: in'
)thcrs they were not. And it'hefwill
r:ast his eagle eye Over 111atfers. and"
:11ings in tho. IVashington of to-day, he
will undoubtedly find many reasons,
{or believing that his now famous re»
nark is open to. runendment.
Thai; is no gainsaying that the '
streets of \Vashington are broad. well
saved, well shaded, and generally
dean. or that its public parks :ne mod-
els of beautiful breathing spaces. 11' all
fared for by the Government. but if.
Mr. Ingalls or any other keen-wittcd,
fair-minded man will examine the
matters of street lighting. telephone
cafes, water supply, gas and electric
lighting. and sidewalks, he -- will
idmit that the three solons (one. a Re-
publican, one a Democrat. and the
third an army oflicer supposedly with-
out any political bias) who, under the
direction of Congress. manage the 4
municipal affairs of the District of:
Columbia, might profitably take les-
sons from the Common Council of
many an insignificant village.
It is a common thing nowadays for
one “'ashingtonian tos say to another,
"\Vill you have a glass of Potomac
mud?” instead of asking him to take
a drink of water, and notwithstanding
all the Government reports piled desk
high in the engineer’s offices, the fact,
is that the water which the citizens of
Washington have been'compclled to
drink such as would cause even a citi-
zcn' of St. Louis, who has swallowed
Mississippi River water all of his life
without a qualm ,to turn up his nose
in disgust. W'hcn Potomac water gclts
real muddy, it defies the cleansing
powers of even the most modern fil-
ters, and must be taken solid if at all.
There are only half a dozen streets.
in-lVashington and the ‘busines‘s thor-
oughfares which are lighted by elec-
tricity, and it is only within the last
few months that the CommissiOneiV-s ..
have revoked the ancient order that
required the streets to be lighted in
any manner only on the nights when, .
according to the almanac, the moon
did not shine. If the almanac 11.1117
pencd to be wrong several nights in
each month the citizens was left ,to
grope their way about the Streets as.
best they could in the dark.
. Having reached the point of lightin’gi'
Ville streets after a fashion every night,
regardless of whether the almanac~
happened to'predict a cloudy or a clear
sky, it might be supposed that the?
Commissioners would go a step further ’
and have the old brick sidewalks in:
the residence portion of the city re-
placed with walks of a more durable,
sightly and smooth mate1‘lal.But they
appear to believe that the humble cit-
izen returning ,home late at night
should ,be sufllciently grateful for the
sickly, yellow gleam of the gas' lamps, '
and not ask protection from the bumps-
and hollows 0f brick sidewalks,
bunched up in one place by tree roots.
and hellowed out in another by sink
taxpayer dues n0t like the sidewalk he
can take.- the middle of the street, a”
_ blob, of course, is always
open to him: There is a regulation that
. property-owners of both vacant and
occupied lots shall keep the sidewalks
in front of them clear 'of. snow and
mud, but the regulation is seldom, if»
ever, enforced. During the occasional '
snowstorms the Washlngton pcde’sw pm
the snow," '
trian must wade through
and in rainy weather through the mud .
washed over the sidewalks from va-
cant terraces whlle yet congratulating
himself that he lives in “the best gov-
erned city in the world.” .
“A telephone in a pri rate residence in
Washington costs $75 a year not; in a
business office, $100, both being in ad-
vance. V
But bumpy sidewalks. half-lighted
streets,‘muddy water. unswcpt snow,
unshovelled mud. and high telephone
charges are as flies on a barn door to
the hardships that the Washington
taxpayer suffers at the hands 'of the
company that owns andrOntrols the
gas plant of the city. The lighting of
the streets is bad, but that of the
houses is worse. The gas company
have things all their own way, and no-
body is more keenly aware of that fact . ‘
than they. Probably less than 2 per
cent. of the houses in the District of
Columbia, including \Vashington,
.GeorgétOWn and the Vmanysuburbs,
" are lighted by, electricity.
This is not
because gas is popular and cheap, but
rather that electricity is not within '
reach of the general householder. Un- _ *
til about a“ year ago the one electric
company had as complete a mpnopoly
in the electrical line as the gas com-‘
pany enjoys. It had not been able to
reap such tangible and valuable bene-
fits, however, because of the sensible f
and upwards are each and
law that compels it hereafter to lay
wires underground. It could not get
such authority as it desired for fear-
ing up the Streets and so as a rule
only the streets in the business part
ity. As to prlCes, however, and such;
other conditions as the company could:
