Ford’s Theatre Collapse.
The finding of the coroner’s jury at
Washington holds Col. Ainsworth, Con-
tractor Dant, Supt. Covert and Engi-
neer Sasse guilty of criminal negli-
gence in the Ford’s Theatre disaster.
Some one ought'to be held responsible,
and this drag-net process was probably
adopted to catch the right‘man. Yet
at the bottom of it all, and more re-
”s‘p‘Onsible than *all- others, stands the
American Congress which on three dif-
ferent occasions has been nOtified by
its own committees that the building
was unsafe, and which truth has been
emphasized by the late apalling catas-
rophe
Death of Senator Stanford.
U. S. Senator Leland Stanford, who
was found dead in his bed at- midnight
yesterday, at his Palo Alto farm, wa as
conspicuous type of the California
millionaire, a good man, of larg
terprise and of broad and generous
views. who tried always to make the
best use of his opportunities, both in
his public and private relations, and
O.
'who devoted to works of charity and
beneficence a large part of the colossal
fortune which his energy amassed.
He was born in the State Of New
York, and began the practice of law
there, but went to California in ’49,
and in “ keeping store ” and in other
dealings with the miners, laid the foun-
dations of the great business career
which culminated in the construction
of the Pacific Railroad. He got early
into politics, was a delegate to the Lin-
coln convention, at Chicago, and as
Governor of California at the begin-
ning of the civil war, rendered import-
ant service to the Union, though his
part in the great railroad enterprise
was perhaps the most important of all.
He did not take any specially prominent
part in the Senate, but California has
reason to remember him'with admir-
ation and gratitude, and the great uni-
versity he founded, in memory of his
only son, will preserve his name to pos-
terity.
His death will make no present politi-
cal change in the Senate, as the vacancy
will be filled by appointment of the
Governor, who is a Republican, and
the Legislature to be electednext fall
will choose his regular successor.

Lizzie Borden Not Guilty.
In accord with general expecta-
tion, the jury, Tuesday, declared Liz-
zie Borden not guilty of the terrible
charge of murdering her father and
step-mother, and she walks forth a
freed and .legally vindicated woman.
The verdict comes from a fair con-
sideration of the facts presented at the
trial. The efforts of counsel did not
becloud, bewilder or mislead the minds.
of the jurors, and the charge of the
judge showed a distinct leaning to-
ward the accused. It is suggested that
Governor Robinson showed this pro-
found knoWledge of the typical New
England jury he had to deal with, when
he refrained from bringing to bear any
of the forensic ability he is credited
with possessing. _
The public will very generally ap-
prove the verdict, as it has been evi-
dent since the moment the prosecution
rested that the people had made up
their minds that no case had been made
out against the accused.
As the case stood in court no fatal
weapon had been found, no direct evi-
dence connected the woman at all with
the deed. it was monstrous to assume
that a Christian woman could do such
a fiendish thing, the police had made
her a victim for want of any other easy
at hand, and that following the theory
of Lizzie Borden’s guilt the authorities
let slip every trace of the real murder-
er, but she was innocent and the jury
found her not guilty. The most im-
pressive effort made to prove “exclusive
opportunity” wentA only far enough to
show that the servant shared that op-
portunity, and that it was open to any
shrewd, adroit person who might3 have
slipped in from the street while Miss
Borden was in the barn and the servant
Was engaged in household tasks. To
imagine that Miss Borden could have
slain her step-mother and then dispOSed
of her stained clothing and taken a
. bath—for nothing less would have re-"
moved the evidence of her guilt—in
time to meet her father returning from
business, exchange cheerful remarks
with him and assist him to lie down,
then kill him and go through another,
even more requiring process of cleans-
ing, and destroy another dress in the
brief period that elapsed from the mo-
ment that he was butchered to the time
that she gave notice of it, is incredible.
And there'remains the mystery—and
there it bids fair to remain—like other
and even greater mysteries which have
puzzled the wits of men in similar cases
, and-still remain "unsolved.
A Real Temperance Measure.
Mr. Oliver Sumner Teall, of New
York, has issued a very eloquent and
forcible paper, which he calls an “ap.
, w E EKTLYNORWALK 7
remarks the Washington Post, asssome
might hastily suppose. to reach a point
iii-etiquette or establish a precedent of
mode. It is directed toward a great
and growing evil—that of “treating”
in clubs and barrooms—and its purpose
is purely moral and reformatory.
The question is not a new one. Mr.
Teall presents no claim to originality.
He does not pose as a pioneer. He
simply takes up the controversy where
others dropped it, and is endeavoring
to achieve by organization and sys-
tematic work what they failed. to
achieve by independent and incoherent
effort. It is hardly necessary to go
over the ground of Mr. Teall’s argu-
ment. Everybody is familiar with its
details and~ its bearing. Perhaps. a
single extract from his “appeal” will
answer every purpose of illustration :.
cause they are asked to, and because
they think social courtesy demands it.
The greatest harm, however, 18 done at
night. A partybf young men who
have been spending the early partpf
the evening in any of the usual social
pleasures may start to walk home to-
gether. One ‘of them suggests that
they take a drink. Each of the party,
say of five, wants a drink, and there is
no reason why he should not have it.
It would be all right if it stopped there,
but one man has treated the party, and
another thinks it incumbent upon him
to do the same, and soon each man.
who only wanted one drink, hashad
five. and then each of the five is certain
that he needs many more. The result
is an enforced expenditure of money,
which can _be little afforded, and a
night spent in dissipation, followed by
a day of necessary stimulation. This
sort of thing, kept up night after night
because it is considered the correct
thing, has been the cause of many a
young man’s ruin.”
' It will be observed that Mr. Teall
does not antagonize the use of liquor,
continues the Post. He confines his
labors to the arrest of its abuse. He
does not tell any one that it is wrong
to drink. He endeavors, simply, to
point out the mischievous folly of
drinking too much. In a word, his co-
adjutors are common sense, good breed-
ing, and self-respect.
Mr. Teall states a notorious and un-
deniable truth when he says that the
treating custom has made drunkards
of thousands who, but for it, would
have lived sober and useful lives. Un-
der that custom the rich and the idle
are enabled to set the pace. The mere
possession of money enables men to
become leaders, and the foolish spirit
of emulation, the weak-minded fear of
being considered mean, spurs other
men to expenditure which they can ill
afford and to excesses which do them
only harm. This, as Mr. Teall insists,
is a real evil,,an unnecessary evil, an
evil that all men should unite in elimi-
nating. It is an evil in attacking which
we need encourage no proscriptive
spirit nor interfere with any man’s per-
sonal right of action. The success of
the movement would not prevent the
individual from drinking as much as
he thought desirable or necessary. It
would simply protect him from being
forced to drink more. The idea is not
to restrict hospitality. What is sought
is the abolition of the “ treating ” cus-
tom and the consequent emancipation
of men from the obligation, real or
fancied, but none the less inexorable.
of returning so-called courtesies.
We think that Mr. Teall’s proposition
is entitled to careful and respectful
consideration. The custom to which it
points already prevails in England and
most of the older countries. -It has
been adopted by the governments of
several social clubs in this country,
notably the Pendennis Club, of Louis-
ville, and the Hermitage, of Nashville.
It would operate beneficently in every
ramification of society and class of life.

Dread the hot weather, because
of the annoyance of flies and
mosquitoes ? They get into
your house before you know it,
make themselves at home in
every room, take a bath in

your sugar, commit suicide in
your toe, spoil your picture
frames and ceilings, and when
> at last you retire worried with
$8888W8 their annoying, they follow you
up stairs and try to amuse you with their singing while
they give you a friendly bite Or sting to keep you awake. ‘
Youcan throw a shoe/at a cat, or muzzle a dog, but the
Se.
’ slipper has not been made big encugh to strike a" mosquito

a} poisonous and sticky paper, but their relations get re-
=31. vengc on you, and the papers are not usually very ornamen-
~ .’ tal, but if you sit on them, they are more friendly than a
brother. N ow take our advice; keep them out at the
start, by supplying yourself with patent screen windows
and doors While we are selling them so low. When the
- demand increases, the prices usually go up. _ , V. .
As long as this ad runs, you can get, in our basement,
Screen Doors, any size,- at 95c, and adjustable Window

To-morrow prices may be higher. The more Windows

will be for somebody else. But that's your fault, not Ours.
