l .3 l the creation of an “artificial The Conviction of Durraht.’ ri‘he conviction of Theodore Durrant ‘ot' themurder of Blanche Lamont in San Francisco'brings to a clcse, com- pletely in harmony with public‘opinion one of’the most dramatic, mysterious and puzzling criminal cases of the cen- tury. So revolting were the murders oithe two girls slain in the little Eman- uel Church, so curious were the circum- stances which led to the arrest and ten weeks’ trial of Durrant, and so tremen- dous and protracted was the battle be- tween the officials of the law and the culprit, that the whole nation wanted for the denouement with painful inter- est. . WasDurrant,theSunday-schooloficer and church librarian, with a record un- tarnished up to the time of his arrest, in reality a ravening monster of de- pravity, driven on by his dark and dreadful passions to the awful double crime; or was there a mysterious crim- inal whose misdeeds were to crush an innocent man? The prosecution br- ilevell that Durl‘ant furnished a case. parallel to that of “Dr. Jekyil and Mr. Hyde,” and it justified its belief by building around the accused a web of evidence so subtle, so delicately and adroitly connected, that there was no escape from it. Durrant’s safety rested upon his power to prove an alibi; but , every one of his assertions and inven- tions was disproved, and the circum- stantial evidence as to the murder of Blanche Lamont gripped him like a vice. Next, the Holmes verdict is in accord win; the one belief in his atrocious guilt. The conviction is universal that he killed Pitezel; that he killed the Pitezcl children;that he is one of the most depraved criminals of anage that seems to be prolific in men dangerous to so- ciety’s welfare; tl at had he the tra- ditional nine lives of a_cat his crimes would call for the fasfeiture of them. all were he to legally expiate his numer- ous infamous deeds. It is not too much i» say that he too was convicted by the irresistible force of inexplicable and inexpiable circumstantial evidence. . ms. . Too Many Saloons. One of the best contributions to cam- paign literature about saloons and their control was made in a recent sermon in New York city by Rev. Alexander P. Doyle. It went right to the heart of the difficulty, and ought to be made the basis of an injuiry and of legislation". Father Doyle says that there are twice too many 88100133, and stoutly condemns the manner in which the business has been built up until it has resulted in thirst” which would never exist if there were not a drinking place on almost every corner. The multiplication of the opportuni- ties for drink in the districts inhabited by puorly fed people certainly has done vestmischief. It New York city would have the common sense to take in hand she Inspection and weeding out of as. lunar, and the purification of liquors, it would do more for morality than all the persecutions of a dozen Roosevelts Father Doyle la- ments the absence'oi any gardens and could accomplish. safes for the assemblage of the poor like those of Munich and Dresden, and apparently doubts the possibility of es- the ‘(EL-rnlaue, who take to them as reminis- tabxishilg them, except among echoes of home. "i h=.- experiment would none the less be worth trying, and would certainly . decrease intemperancc. .0. European Demand for Trotters. It is gratifying to note that not only are Americans taking or sending over to Europe speculative consignments of trotting horses or are acting as agents on this side for markets already opened up there, but that no sales of trotting stock are now held at which there are not ullb‘ or more foreign buyers on the qui'vive for the best that is offered. Only a few days ago one of the Ham- burr.r liners sailed out of the port of New York with nearly twenty thousand dol- l.u-s"worth of horses for Germany, and ::. very large proportion of them were trotting bred. At the recent auction _ of trotters heldat Parkville, L. I., the top price was aiven by a French com- missioner, who is buying trotters partly on speculation and partly for orders 1“ rom horsemen of France and Russia, who fully appreciate the value of our stock for breeding, racing and road purposes. Thanksglvlng Day. President Cleveland yesterday issued his annual 'proclamation appointing Thursday, the 28th day of November, as a day of NatiOnal Thanksgiving. ‘TWE‘E The Trembling Earth. What is the matter with this old, re- volving globe of ours, on which we build temples and railroads, and barter, ' and hold conventions and elections? Last week, from the Eternal City of Rome to the icy head springs of the great Mississippi, under the land and under the sea, without a moment’s warning, comes an “earth shudder” which sets all the houses in a dozen States to dancing, which frightens mil- lions of timid persons, and flushes the channels of streams long chokedlt runs under the Mediterranean. stirs the. Rock of St. Peter, rings bells in a hun- dred palaces, then sinks away into calm. What enormous forces are thus at work over vast subterranean caverns and what mighty disaster do they pos- sibly fortell? The “Gilt-edge” express leaving BOc‘ ton at 5 p. m. had a narrow escape Fri- day night. When the engine was taken OE at New London for a change, one of the front wheels dropped elf. How long the axle had been broken no one could tell. but the possibilities if the wheel had dropped when the train was crossing the bridge over the Thiinies, are too frightful to contemplate.
