SANG AS THEY DIED.
National Anthem Mingled With
the Eoar of the Storm.
While the story of the lors of the
Germw gunboat litis has already
been told, the Doric, -which arrived
from the Orient, September 23>
brought additional particulars as to
the death of all but eight of her
orew.
After the vessel struck on the reef
of the southeast promontory and be
gan to break up, it was realized by
the officers and men that no human
efforts cou dsa . a them. The ma
jority of the crew were gathered aft,
where the commander, Lieutenant
Captain Braua and the offioera of the
watch and Lieutenant Prasso were
standing on the bridge,
At the moment of the gravest
danger, the captain gathered the
doomed crew about him and called
spon them to give three cheers for
the emparor. They were given with
a will, and waving their hats at the
flag that floated over them, the brave
sailors showed their fidelity to the
Fatherland and took a farewell of
life.
While the cheering was going on
the ship btoke in two near the fore
masts, Ths masts toppled and foil,
and as they want down, they crashed
through the bridge and swept several
of the men into the tea with the
tangled rigging. Just then as a
big wave came curling towards th®
lost vessel Gunner Raehne requested
ths men to join in sieging the na
tional anthem. They grasped each
other’s hands and with voices ming
ling with the howling oi the storm
they went down to death in tho sea.
Hard on the Kailroads.
An Alabama court has rendered a
decision within the past few days
which shou’d attract attention alj
ever the country, because of jts great
importance to transportation interests
The case is that of Miss Lzzie Hea
dricks,- a veiy pretty girl of Calhoun
county, who, while traveling from
Rome, Ga,, to Anniston, Ala., was
kissed by the conductor without first
having given her coßsenf. She
brought suit, not against the osculat
ing conductor for atsaultjbut against
the railway company for trespass on
the part of one of its employes. After
due hearing of testimony‘and weighty
legal arguments judgment was ren
dered in favor of Miss L'zzie foi
§245.
The verdict reflects unfavorably
upon the gallantry cf Alabama juries,
for §245 is no price at all for a kiss
from a pretty girl, even though it be
taken against her will. Freely given,
a kies, of course, is without price, but
even the surreptitiously gotten article
ought to command a higher figure-
The real trouble with the verdict’
however, is its effect upon railway
companies generally. They have
recently been called upon to provide
guards on their trains to protect pas
sengers from pj-adatory road agents-
Are they now also to be required to
protect lone maidens against the os
culatory itnpu'ses of ama lively in
clined conductors? Or must they
put these officers under heavy bonds
to kiss no female passenger -without
having first obtained permission? It’s
a ticklish question,—The Washington
Times.
Telegraph and Telephone Rates’
It appears from the United States
Consular Reports for July, 189 G
that in Switzerland whore (ag in all
other countries than ours) the tele
graph and telephones belong to the,
poetoffice, the government has re
ducod the rental of telephones to fS
par year to each subscriber. The
government in Sweden charges §6
per year for use of telephone. The
usual charge for a telegram in all
other countries than ours is 10 cents.
Just think of the enormous difference
to the people of a postal telegraph
and telephones, with 10 oenie for a
telegram between any two points in
tho Union, and telephones ranting
at §6 or §8 per year. Why should
not the people of the United States
have the advantage of these rates
like the people under governments
lees avowedly conducted in the in
terest of the people.
The present monopoly is inakfeg
millionaires. Leas than §500,000 in
orsh altogether has ever been paid in
by the Western Union stockholders-
The capital stock now is over SIOO, -
000,000 and it is all either water, or
net earnings, over and above the
large annual dividends to stockhold
ers. The telegraph in this country
originally belonged to the postoffice
It was illegally turned over to a pri
vate corporation. The act of con
gress of 1847 gives the United State
the option to take back the telegraph
at any time, and every mile built
since then has been constructed with

knowledge of that option on tbe part
of the govenmsnt. Tho Western
Union is making millions annually
out of high rates and poor accom
modations, while tbe people are
operating tho auti-quated, non-pay
ing part of tho postoffice—‘be non
electric mail—at a heavy annual loss.
In all countries in which th a electric
mail, i. e., the telegraph and tele
phone, is a part of the postal service
the postoffice pay a a profit. In Italy,
the postoffice has lately reduced tele
grams to 5 cents.
Great Britain was the latest great
government to make the telegraph a
part of the postal service, yet even
there it was done in 1870—twenty
six years ago—and immediately pri
vate telegrams multip'iod tenfold
(not merely tea per cent, but a
thousand pe< cent.) and newspaper
dispatches multilpiei thirty fold.
What stands between us and this
great reform? Answer: The con
trol of the daily press by the tele,
graph monopoly and tho control o f
congress and other office-holders at
a powerful lobby and telegraph
franks issued to all congrhssmon and
senators who will accept them. All
the influential office-holders around
the departments in Washington City
are also liberally supplied with tele
graph franks—especially in the
postoffice department

their rights in this matter ? Answer;

The New York Harbor.
Ths magnificent harbor and water
front of New York always excite the
pride of the citizen who possesses
civic pride. To the same citizen, if
ho possesses any love of humanity,
the magnificent water front is a re
proach. Why should the people’s
property be surrendered wholly to
commerce? Why should the people
be almost wholly shut off from en
joying the rights that nature has
conferred upon her citizens? This
question finally crystall zed into a
demand that certain piers be reserved
for the use of the. people in the
crowded districts. Again and again
lias the demand been made. The de
mand finally took the form of a bill
introduced in the Legislature, having
the support of the best polit'eal or
ganizations and private citizens of
New York City. This bill became
a law in 1892. It conferred certain
rights and obligations on the Dock
Board. The Board of Aldermen and
different civic organizations have
petitioned the Dook Board again and
again to carry out the intentions of
this law. At last public sentiment
and pressure have betn victorious.
Plans have been, submitted to the
Dock Beard that meat its approval,
and, under the direction of the Board
which has scoured the advice of a
skilled arceitect, a double-decked
house, three hundred and twenty
feo t long and fifty feet wide, will be
built at the foot of East Third Street.
The building is of wood and steel,
and will have lavatories, seats, tables
and conveniences and space for a
people’s pleasure garden. The Board
has arranged to permit the selling of
milk in this building, but will not
I errnit the sale of intoxicating
liquors. Tho contract calls for the
building’s completion May 1, 1897
The Board of Aldermen has asked
for similar structures at othar points
on the East Side of the city, and
several on the West Side, but the
Dock Board considers the whole
scheme as aa experiment, and has
decided to wait and see whether the
people stifling in the near-by tene
ment-houses, whether mothers with
sick babies, will come out and eit on
the river-front where they may get
a breath of air! It is to be hoped
that thia effort to secure breathing
places cn the rivar-front will not fol
low the same lines of development as
in the case of tha snail-park move
ment. In that, children in. arms be
came wage-earnt rs before tho inten
tions of their benefactors were ac
complished.

Watson’s New Book.
Mr. Watson has in press the first
volume of a History of France, treat
ed from the point of view of a mod
ern reformer. Commencing with
ancient Gaul, tbe book ends with the
death of Joan of Arc.
The Past is the wisest teacher of
the Present, and no nation teaches
more impressively than France. In
this first volume, tho original abuses
of the pyatem by which the Church
and the State finally maddened the
people and drove them into the wild
excesses of the French Revolution,
are clearly traced.
The second volume will embrace
the French Revolution; and tho third
will give ths story of Napoleon, and
the subsequent history of Franco
down to the present time.
The Author believes that tho Lss
sons of Reform and the vital impor
tance of Good Government esn be
better taught from the stern experi
ence of nations than from editorials
or from speeches.
The work now in press will be
ready for delivery in a few days.
It will be bound in cloth, printed
on first class paper and in the best
style, and will be sent, postpaid, to
any address, on receipt of one dollar.
