• Human nature is queer. Why those two
New Orleans men, who oommltted suicide
•t Monte Carlo, should have wished to go
to Europe to gamble is not readily ap
parent. They oould have lost their money
just as easily in the Cresoent oity, and
then shot themselves among friends.

The officers of the military organizations

S., now acting assistant adjutant and in

Col. Elliott F. Shepard, editor of thoNew
York Mail ami Express, whose sudden
death was reported la the Morning News
dispatches, was probably one of the most
unpopular rich man iu New York. He
was an ardent republican, but the repub
licans did not like bim. He was called
“cranky” by almost evorvbody. At the
lame time it cannot be doubted that Col.
Shepard was a thoroughly conscientious man,
and his alleged “crankiness” was probably
due more to his boldness in puttingis ideas
lato action than to any actual mental un
evenness. That be was an able man is proved
by the suocess of his newspaper, as well as
cither enterprises with which he was con
nected.
How to Reform the Tariff.
Suggestions for reforming the tariff are
not likely to be wanting. Tariff reformers
who beileTe they know exactly tbe kind of
a tariff bill that ought to be passed have
already begun placing their ideas about the
tariff before the publio, and they will be
greatly disappointed if congress should iail
to appreciate their efforts. They are very
sincere, ami no donbt, are possessed of
considerat e kuowledge of the subject con
cerning u,cn they desire to enlighten the
President, Secretary Carlisle and congress.
Mr. Thomas U. Shearman has been writ
ing letters to the President on tbs tariff,
and the Reform Club of New York has Just
sent to Secretary Carlisle a draft of a tariff
bill with a request to place it before
the ways and means committee when
that committee shall have been appointed.
No doubt Mr. Carlisle will comply with the
club’s request with great pleasure.
All these people who are endeavoring to
inform congress what ought to be done in
lespect to the tariff have excellent general
ideas about tariff matters, and it may be
that their suggestions will help cougresi in
shaping tariff legislation, but it should not
be forgotten that it is much easier to write
tariff essays and point out the kiud of a
tariff that would make the country prosper
ous than to frame a tariff bili.
Tbs members of tbe ways and -meant com
mittee, when they meet for the first time in
their committee room, feel as if they could
prepare a tariff bill very quiokly that
would meet the approval of tbe country.
They have theories which appear to them to
be just what should be incorporated in a
bill, but they have very little aotual knowl
edge of the tariff and its workings. That
they get as the business of framing a bill
progresses. After they have listened to
delegations representing various Interests
for a few weeks and have questioned tariff
experts they begin to think there is a good
many things oounectod with the tariff of
which they had no knowledge. When they
attempt to fit the facts to their theories
they not infrequently Had they are not
equal to the task.
Mr. Carlisle has the advantage of most of
tbe gentlemen who are now engaged in
giving him and the President, and, through
them, congress, points about the tariff. He
is well up in all the tariff theories, and at
tho same time ha is thoroughly informed in
regard to the practical side of tbe tariff
question. He has listened to delegations
and questioned experts, and what
he doesn’t know about the tariff is scarcely
worth knowing. Still, he isdoubtless grate
ful to Mr. Shearman and tbe Reform
Club and all the rest of the tariff reformers
for their efforte to assist him. He may learn
something from them, but the country is
not depending upon them for tariff reform
legislation. It is looking to him and to con
gress to put into practical shape the will of
the people, in respect to the tariff, that was
expressed so emphatically at the polls last
November.
Deposit tbe Securities.
There are a few who, for various reasons,
are opposed to the plan for reorganizing the
Central railroad system. Some of the few
would like to see the system broken up.
became they have schemes in which they
dbuld use some of the fragments to advan
tage. Others don’t get as much in the re
organization scheme as they think they
ought to have. But wbat do the opponent!
of the scheme offer to security holders if it
should fail? Do they hold out a hope that
they? wiii get anything better! Tuey do
not.
It is safe to say that nearly all of those
who are trying to block reorganization are
iulluenced by selfish motives. There is no
other plan than the one offered,
and there is no probability that
a better one wili be offered.
If there should bo, those who deposit their
securities will be in a position to got the
benefit of it.
There are plenty of rumor* floating about
of other plans, but there is nothing defi
nite in regard to them, nor is there likely
to be. Ai it looks now those who fail to
deposit their stocks and bonds will make a
mistake. The securities are being deposited
rapidly. The Southwestern committee
hat reported m favor of accepting tbe plan
and within a few days the bulk of the
securities of that road will be in. Aud it is
among tbe probabilities that under re
organization the security holder* will fare
better than they expect
The Grip in New York.
Some uneasiness is felt in New York by
the announcement that the grip has made
its appearance in that city, and also dn
Brooklyn, within the lest week to such a
degree that it is thought it may become
epidemic. During the week ending March
18 there were eleven deaths from it reported
in New York city, but that report does not
tell the whole story. During that week
there were 106 more deaths from pneumo
nia than for the same week of March last
year. Tbe physicians say the reason for
this high death rate from the latter disease
is the grip, which is found in the great
majority of the pneumonia oases. The two
diseases seem to be bunting for victims in
partnership.
It is also said that the grip is found in
nearly all cases of childrens’ eruptive dis
eases. A Bellevue hospital physician la
quoted as Baying that it would be putting it
too strongly to say that tbe grip is epidemio
In New York, but be admits that "its preva
lence and malignancy nre becoming alarm
ing.” Tbe disease does not show itself in a
mild form as it did three years ago. It is
far more dangerous. The brain aud lungs
become affected quickly and the attacks
are extremely liable to end fatally.
There has been an UDusual amount of
sickness in about all parts of the country
during the last six months. Fevers especi
ally have prevailed. There must be atmos
pheric conditions that are largely responsi
ble for them and for other dis
eases. The necessity for enforcing sanitary
regulations in all the cities of tbe country
preparatory for the hot weather cannot be
impressed too strongly upon tbe health au
thorities.
C.'i sar Borgia’s cordial hankshake at part
ing with a guest has become famous in the
hißtory of poisoning as an art. He wore a
ring on which was a poisoned needle point,
tbe puncture of which meant death. But
since his days the poisoning of one person
by another through tbe shaking of bands
has not been a favorite method of murder.
However, a peouliar case of handshaking is
reported from Bristol, Pa. Dennis O'Leary,
an old man, reoently visited Boston. W hile
there ho called on a friend, who emphasized
his pleasure at the meeting by an extraordi
nary handshake. Afterward O’Leary
noticed an abrasion of the skin on the hand
shaken by his friend, wbloh continued to
grow worse until a few days ago he died of
blood poisoning.
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, MARCH 26, 1893--SIXTEEN PAGES.
the Penes Law Again.
Another effort Is to be made to have tb
fence law adopted In this ciunty. The law
is to fence in stock and leave planting land
; open.
An ursuoeessful effort was made a year
■or two ago to have the law adopted. It is
now hoped that voters see the wisdom of
the law and will favor it by a large ma
jority.
The best cattle in tbe county are those
j that are kept within inclosures. Those that
are permitted to roam at large destroying
crops and ruining the publio drains, which
have been constructed at so great an ex
pense are, as a rale, of comparatively llttla
value.
Tbe question for voters to consider is
simply this: Shall lands which can be
made to add hundreds of thousands of dol
lars annually to tbe wealth of the eounty
lie Idle, in order that a few cattle of little
value may run at large aod destroy the
drainage Improvements which have been
made at such vast expense!
It is absolutely neiessarv for the preserva
tion of the health of the oonnty that the
drains shall be kept open, and it is next to
impossible to keep them open if cattle are
given the freedom of the county. In their
efforts to get water tbe oattle trample the
soil into the drains, and thus obstructions
to drainage are formed. For reasons of
health, therefore, the law requiring stook to
be fenced in should be adopted.
Why don’t thoee who want to open farms
fence in their lands? ask those who want
their cattle supported at public expense.
Tbe reason is they can’t afford to. There
would be hundreds of small truck farms
opened within the county limits in a very
short time if the law requiring cattle to be
fenoed in were put into operation.
Order stock kept within iroloeures and
in a little while Chatham county would be
dotted all over with farms and the oattle
would be better and vastly more valuable.
Look at the oountles In whioh stock is
fenced in! How prosperous they are!
What One oattle the farmers have and how
thrifty the farms appear. In North Caro
lina the cattle are kept within lnclosures in
every county. The people of that state
would not go back to tbe old system now
that they know the benefits of tbe new.
Tbe people of this county should
agitate this question. Every man who
has an interest in it should favor
shutting in vagrant cattle. The col
ored people especially are interested in hav
ing the law shutting them in adopted, be
cause it would open the way for them to be
come small farmers. They should not per
mit themselves to bo deouived by the few
who are anxious to pasture their cows at
other people’s expanse and on other people’s
land.
Getting Tired of Pugilists.
T Last Monday when Champion Jim Cor
bett attempted to register at Hotel Ander
son, the principal hotel In Pittsburg, Pa.,
be was told that he was not wanted as a
guest. The hotel clerk said: “We don’t
want any pugilists at this house. They are
a nuisance. The regular patrons are an
noyed by them.” The much-admired Cham
pion Jim was compelled to seek accommo
dations at a less pretentious house.
There is a growing disposition in all parts
of the country to frown upon prize-fighting
and prize-fighters. The people of New Or
leans have taken 6teps to put an end to
prize-fighting contests in that city. They
realize that such contests do their city
no good. On the contrary, they
give her an unenviable notoriety.
The people who hang around prize-fighters
and devote their time to the prize ring are
not tbe kind aesired by any community as
residents or visitors. The effeot of their
presence is demoralizing and their influence
upon youth and young men is bad.
In the north New Orleans Is severely
criticised for permitting prize-fights withiu
her limits, and the fact that she does per
mit them is accepted as evidence that her
standard of morals is lower than that of
any other oity in the country. It is over
looked that as a rule tbe prize-fighters are
from the north, that their backers are from
the north and that they get their principal
support in the north. At the prize
fights that hsve recently ocourred In New
Orleans the principals, tbe seconds, and a
very large part of the audlencee were from
the north. The truth, therefore, is that
New Orleans is no worse than a northern
city. The mistake she has made is simply
permitting herself to be made the scene of
the brutal contests that were arranged at
the north.
Her laws prohibit prize fights, but permit
glove ooatests in the hells of athletic asso
ciations. The contests which have taken
plane within her limits reoently, however,
although gloves were used, were genuine
prize-fights, and a clear violation of her
laws. Tbe authorities have seen fit, how
ever, not to take notice of these violations,
but public sentiment is becoming so strong
against them that they will have to take
notice of them arid insist upon a strict en
forcement of the law.
There is no use denyiDg, however, that
great interest is taken in prize-fights, and
the interest is not confined to any section of
the country. It is as great in the north as
in the Bouth, and the northern critics who
insist that there is a higher standard of
morals at the north than at the south only
play the part of pharisees.
It the gates of New Orleans should be
closed against prize-fighters, aa they doubt
less will be soon, prize-fighters will find an
other plaoe for their ooDtssts, and it is much
more likely to be la the north than in the
south, since tbe north furnishes most of the
prize-fighters and the money to back them,
and also tbe majority of ths prize-fighting
fraternity.
It ii a wise man who can ztand pros
perity. Ex-Brakeman C. J. Hnnt, who
once saved the life of Mrs. Mark Hopkinz
ifearlez, realize* thit. For be has not been
wise. After be saved the lady’s life, her
husband, Edwin F. Searles, wbo now con
trols old Mark Hopkins’ millions, made
much of him; lavished money on him and
gave him to understand that he would in
herit a good slioe of the Hopklcs-Bearles
fortune. As might have been expeoted,
the young man went to living high. But a
few days ago be “bnmped the celling," as
Candidate Harrison, of Chioago, would say.
Hunt gave a number of his friends a S2O-a

herself with the Idem that this experience with

seating her on the Hawaiian tnrone. Whatever

not offer such help and cannot permit any other
nation to offer it. It beoomes more and more

Couldn’t Stand It.
The delloate flowers of true womanliness may
be overgrown and hidden by the briare of ig
norance and degradation, says the Cincinnati
Commercial Oasette, yet they will, upon occa
sion, appear in pure and undunman beauty. It
was in the far-away tropic tale of Hawaii and
the sun was shining brightly. The soene was
one of native grandeur. Great trees towered
aloft to the sky. Boa constrictors and ostriches
gamboled over the landscape, adding an ele
ment of animation. It was amid such surround
ings that two savage ladles wandered aim
lessly.
"Pretty warm day,” observed the one who
wore a braes ring In her nose
“Awfully hot," acquiesced her companion,
whose arms were daubed a delicate olive
green.
Thus beguiling the time In conversation they
loitered until a lion, with big bristling side
whiskers, came In sight.
"We," the female with the ring gasped feebly,
“are lost!”
"No, no," exclaimed sbe of tbe green arms.
"If ws say nothing we are safe.”
It was a desperate alternative. It was a test
of endurance from which even the tried hearts
of tbe forest daughters shrank in fear. Two
minutes elapsed. The lion sauntered with a de
liberation that froze their blood. Three min
utes of silence and anguish had slipped Into the
past The suspense was dreadful. The lion
stopped and wagged bis tall meditatively. The
strain was too great. ”1 must”—the woman
with a ring In her nose ecstatically seized the
green arm of her sister of the jungle-“tell you
about that paint sale.”
"O, do!"
Of course they were both eaten. But that Is
neither here nor there. The contention is that
the delicate flowers of true womanliness mar
be overgrown and hidden by the briers of ignor
ance and degradation, yet they will upon occa
sions appear in undimmed beauty.
Mother’s Doughnuts.
"Lottie.” said the young husband, as he
sulkily munched his provender, "couldn’t you
make some doughnuts like mother used to
make?”
“I can try," said the young wife faintly, as
she reooiled from the shcok, and no more was
said on the subject then.
A day or two afterward, says the Detroit
Free Press. Mrs. Lottie wrote to her mamma
in-law asking for a recipe for those same
doughnuts.
"I am going to surprise Harold with them,
some day,” she concluded the letter.
The recipe came, It was in quite a different
shape from what she had expected, but it
pl-osed her very much.
"Dear Harold will bo so grateful," the said
to herself, but she hadn t half gauged the
depths and shades of dour Harold's appetite
yet.
"Doughnuts,’’ he sniffed, as he sat down to
supper, "O.did you ever write to mother for her
recipe?”
“ 1 es, and this Is it," said Lottie with a smile.
■lt is? Not much i it: Whv, phew! Rook
salt and saleratus! And they’re as tough as
gate hinges. Why cannot the women of to-dav
do anything as our motners did. Now thes ,
dougunuts have no shortening in them, and
mother ”
“Don't say any more. Harold." said his wi r e
quietly, "your mother made those doughnuts
and sent them by express They are only
twenty-four hours old. and they are like the old
fashioned doughnuts always are-mad > of
raised dough. Try another. ”
But Harold sulked, and Lottie went to the
piano and softly sang:
Mother, tan my little jacket
As you used to long ago.”
Told of "J m” Blount.
Farmer "Jim” Blount, as ho is commonly
called in the vicinity of Macon, has long been
regarded as one of the ablest of the Georgia
statesmen politicians, says the New York
Tribune. lie never stooped to anything like
peanut politics, as they are understood in this
state. He is of the Cincinnatus order; he
always wanted office, but being a modest man
did not boldly seek it. He liked to De caught
111 the field plowing when there was a political
office in sight, so that tbe rest of the farmers
might think tbe office wanted him more tuan
he wanted tbe office. m
Mr. Blount learned that trick from old Gov
“Joe" Browo, the most celebrated of the mod
ern Cincinnatusrs. After pulling all the wires
in the state for months to get the noinina ion
for governor, he put on a mantle of humi ity
and retired to his farm the day before the con
vention met. Everything being cut and dried
he was nominate I, and a committee was ap
pointed to inform him of that fact. Its mem
beis were mostly farmers, and their delight was
unbounded when they found the wily old "Joe ’
in the field with a cradle trying to cut wheat.
"Joe’s" surprise at the announcement was so
well feigned that sooted' that committee be
lieve to this day be bad no hand in the nomina
tion.
•Mr. Blount s farm Is about sixteen miles from
Macon, amt he loves to retire there to think and
study and lounge about In true so itoern stvle.
He has a grown up son, who is practicing law
in Macon and making a living.
Easy, When You Know How.
A retired captain of the British army, who
has made a fortune in Borneo gutta percna,was
chatting with a party of acquaintances in an
uptown hotel, says the New York Tribune,
when one of the younger men made a remark
about the number and brilliancy of the rings on
the officer's band.
“How in the world did you manage to get in
without paying a duty on those magnificent dia
monds?" he asked. "You have, more than your
share—more that one man should be allowed to
weir."
Tho captain replied;
"1 made the acquaintance of four good fellows
on the voyage over -a railroad manager, a
banker, a commission uierohant and a capital
ist. They admired my diamonds very much
and I induced them to get them to help me get
them ashore. Eacn put on a valuable ring as
soon as we sighted land, and wore It till we ar
rived at the hotel, when they were returned to
me. This ring, which the railroad man wore
for me, is worth $15,000. The others are not so
valuable. It’s the easiest thing In the world to
humbug the custom officers when one knows
how to do it.”

The tracks of the great Atlantic liners be

In Augusta, says the Yorkshire Post, a Liv
erpool resident proceeding to Bombay took out
with him a cat. which he intended to present to
a friend in India. Some days after the arrival
of the steamer in Bombay pussy was missed,
and though she was searched for high and low,
she was nowhere to be found. Her owner had
quite given her up for lost, wh n he received in
telligence from England that the cat had made
her appe trance at her old Liverpool home on
Oct. 25, as calm and collect ad as though a trip
to India and hack was quite iu the ordinary
course of her life. Toe facts are vouched fo~ by
a Bombay paper, and there is no rea.-on to
do ibt their substantial accuracy; but it is not
made c car whether the cat was stowed away in
the steamer in which she went out to India and
carried back in the ordiuary course.
ArchjEolouists have, according to Loudon
Nature, observed that iu Greek statues the male
eye is strongly arched, while the female eye lias
u rather battened surface; and referring to ac
counts by tte older anatomist-* who have af
firmed such a difference to exist, they have
den in this a fresh proof of the exact ormerva
tion of nature by the anc.ent Greeks. The ru e
Is not without exceptions, lor the cornea in the
Zeus of Otricoli has quite a flat form. Herr
Greef recently set himself to inquire whether
such a sexual difference actually exists, and
from individual measurement of tbe radius of
the cornea in tho honz jutal meridian be gets an
average or 7.83 mm. for men and 7.82 nun. for
women (Bonders gives 7 858 aud 7 799), so the
difference is so small as to be imperceptible to
the naked eye. Measurement of other dimen
hlons gave but minute differences also. The
author concludes that the Greeks (from artistic
motives; did not in this case follow nature.
But one artist ever succeeded in prevailing
upon Kossuth to sit for his portrait. This was
Mme. Vilna Parlaghy, a Hungarian portrait
painter, who, about seven yoars a?o, gained ad
mission to his household through the k n tnens
of one of his nieces, who advised her to don the
picturesque Hungarian costume aud come to
the house some afternoon at tea time. Kossuth
wan charmed and Mme. Parlaghy went again
and again, c&cn time carefully noting tue aged
patriot’s facial express ons and working after*
ward from memory. After the fifth visit, how
ever. the artist in despair exclaimed to tne
niece that she was stuck a id could never finish
unless given a regular sittiag, ahd. wou Jhave
to return to Pesth with her artirtic rdrutation
ruined. The next day fche was surprised by a
visit from Kossuth, who expl lined to her that
hehadc ’ine to look at the “flower piece” he
had hc*ai and she was painting. On being shown
the portrait Kossuth at fir<t seemed vary indig
nant, but finally said: “Well, now that thou
didst sm e ed so well, I suppose I must help
thee to finish the canvas. I cannot afford to
sp .il the artistic rep nation of oue of my fair
countrywomen.” The sittings commenced the
followin' day, and the artist was enabled to
finish the portrait to her satisfaction.
Panama hats are so named from the circum
stance of their being shipped from the port of
Panama. They are manufactured in Ecuador
and the neighboring states, says Peats n s
Weeklua The material used is the fiber of the
leaf of the screw pine, which Is related to the
palms. It grows only on the slopes of tbe Au
des. The tree is described as having no trunk.
Ths leaves are on slender stems that spring
from the ground. They are about twofest
long, fan-shaped anl four-parted. Each of the
segments is tcncleft, so that when the leaf is
folded, as in the bud, there are eighty layers.
Tt e fiber of the layers is finely plaited, and
each hat consists of a single piece of
work. Tbe plaiting of the hat is a
slow and tiresome process. Coarse hats may
be tin ■ ied in two or three days, but the fine
ones take as many months. The wore is begun
at the crown and finished at the brim. The hat
is made on a block,which is placed on the knees,
and has to be constantly pressed with the
breast. About 200,000 dozens of these hats are
made every year. The prica varies according
to the firmness of the material and the qual.ty
of the work. They are valued at from £1 to
£2u. Panama hats are much prized ior wear in
the tropics, because of their lightness and Ilex -
bility. They may be rolled up and put into the
pocket without injury. In the rainy season
they are apt to get black, but by washing thorn
with soap and water, treating them with lime
juice, or similar acid, and exposing them to the
sun, tbeir whiteness is easily le itored.
Baron Fava, at the last icauguration, was the
etoond in the rank, upon which the diplomatic
corps is so persistent, the dean at that time
being the minister of the little government of
Hayti. Mr. Preston. It has not infrequently
happened in the history of the diplomatic corps
at V. ashlngton that the representative of the
smallest country in regard to territory, popula
tion, wealth and power has outranked the
greatest empires of the old world This has
been true for many years, according to tbe
Boston Journal. The representative of Great
Britain, owing to more frequent changes in her
ambassadors here, has not been dean of the
diplomatic corps since the days of Sir Edward
Thornton, who was subsequently “promoted.”
as it is termed in the diplomatic language of
Europe, to the court of St. Petersburg. Sir
Edward Thornton was followed as dean
by the representative of the smallest aud
most insignificant of tho independent gov
ernments represented here, the minister
of Hayti, who held the position of dean for a
great many years; in fact, until his retirement
from office aud his subsequent death. The
diplomatic corps is a great social feature In
Washington. It consists <>f a few distinguished
persons, but for the greater part is composed
of small men and apprentices, who consider
Washington as the starting point of tneir
dipiomai ic career. Washington as a city of
diplomats is a mission of the third class. Even
the petty Italian court has higher rank—for the
reason, perhaps, tn&t the republic of the
United States of America is regarded as
plebian. But, insignificant as this body of men
is ta*en an a whole, it is a central figure of
Washington society, and on all sta e occasions
Is made conspicuous by its tinsel and flummery.
One of th- chief occupations of the corps is to
act as a sort of ornamental appendage or a
fringe to society.
