Will go down to fame as that of the
Irst Governor of Guam after it be-
fcame one of our insular possessions.
What he accomplished In Americaniz a
ing the Guamites and making them o

"chamber of horrors. " To-day the num 01y
ber of frieudg and relations whose taste y
cannot be trusted may not have diluin- a
- fahed : yet the shops , through a marked O'
Iu Improvement of standards among de % std O'st
Ili li hjners and ma.kers , keep the purchas d
rs within safe bounds of taste. The
things which are "good" are now the f
hnple things. The best-dressed men tl
and women are the least conspicuous. TV
Furniture Is built on simple lines. TVci
Architecture ahows classic restraint. ci
Silverware , picture-frames , carpets , tc :

from the florid toward the dignified.
To be sure , the "horrors" are still ob ly
tainable. They will exist so long as ID
there are men and women to buy them.
, The encouraging thing is that those
who set the present standards of taste tl
and fashion are on the right side. Their tlni
simplicity may be lavish in its scale , ni
nias
jet it remains simplicity ; and imita asdi
tions , although they may be cheap , are di
often made from the best models. There [ >
is more encouragement still in the be
lief that this admirable restraint in
matters of outwardtaste is but-an ex w
pression of a broader tendency of the 01

In a paper which was read before the 0 <
National Prison Cougress Charles EJ.
Fellon , who was formerly superintend
ent of the Bridewell in Chicago , made a
( rigorous plen for the severe punish- tht
knent of habitual criminals. He urged t
that tho terms of imprisonment for ar
fcuch offenders should 1m longer , and pe
attacked tthe "indetenutunte aeifteuce1
and iRirole systems The position he
takes is strongly fortitied by what has .fir

ttce for 'Lqndon. 'aii expert of very de-

-Observation and experience. Mr. Anofl ]
ires that while crime , gen
terally Hpcaklng , has diminished durlrig
; the last thirty'years , professional crime
has Increased , and he attributes this
.curious development to a growing
leniency of treatment which Is extend
| ed to the professional as well as to the
1 less dangerous criminal without any
proper discrimination between the two
The "humanity mongers , " he thinks
have gone wild with their hobby , and
he attempts to recall them to common
sense by an appeal to statistics. Among
the figures cited are the following : In
the year 1869 the "total number of fel
onies relating to property In London
was 21,529 , and the number of very se-
'rious crimeslike burglary , was 559.
In 1809 the total number was but ! ( > ' , -
149 , and the burglaries bad Increased
to 2,443.4 'That is certainly a very re
markable showing , which indicates
that the modern penal system is rad
ically defective at a point where , it
should be , strong. In coming now' to
the'question of remedies Mr. Anderson
also discusses a question of character.
He says that the professional criminals
are of two classes. One class consists
of those who are hopelessly weak , and
who yield without resistance to their
degenerate impulses. The other com
prises persons who pursue a careerof
-crime deliberately and with a full ap
preciation of its risks.Bo'th classes
ought tu be segregated from society for
the protection of society , and members
of tho second class are entitled to 10
sympathy whatsoever. Crime with
them k > both a business and. a sport ,
and the occasional interruption of stiorr
sentences is part of the game.
A few mouths ago we reviewed some
of the buuelicial results of the modern
tendency toward uniformity in me
chanical equipment and working meth
od's. ' Uniformity of action Is quits' an
other thing , and of it there is already
too much. Soldiers when marching
across a bridge are directed to "break
step , " in order that the weight and jar
of the moving column may be distrib
uted. ] If they marched in step they
might break ? the bridge down. Soiue
of the most serious problems of the
day , particularly in the great cities ,
arise fnmi practices * akin to a univer
sal "keeping step. " "Hush hours" on
all street cars and other'"transportation
agencies have become recognized pe
riods of great discomfort. There seems
to < be no remedy , so long as thousands
of employes begin work at the same
hour in the morning and end it simul
taneously at night. In the cities lunch
tiri (
rooms celebrate a "rush hour" with a
vengeance , althoughthat is the one
time In the day for their patrons when
quiet and restfulness should prevail.
The very congestion of the great city
itself is largely due to the uniformity
Impulse ; much of its work could just
lia
as well be done In the suburban area ,
or even out in the country , where the
poor , who suffer most from the crowd
ed tenements , might enjoy" wholesome
conditions. < A isTew 3&i'k newspaper
cecently discussed the practice that has
,
grown up .there of making Oct. 1st the
date of house-moving. Most-leases ex
pire on that day. The , result is that
furniture-moving vans , 'are - so scarce
about that time that unless ordered a
long while in advance they can Jiardly
' "
be obtained. The business of the'"pa-
per-hauger and Hundreds 'of interior
workers is accordingly concentrated in
the autumn months. Such a great rush
of work at one period usually means
depression through the rest of the
year. Hence , for those who can , It is
good plan to have things done at
other times ; it helps workers to juore
steady employment. Nor are the rural
districts' mucti behind , 'thecities In

WASTEFULNESS OF AMERICANS
IS COMMENTED UPON.
targe Sums in Postage Stamps
PostofJQce Clerk Tells of Several
Waja in Which This Is Done Gov
ernment the Gainer.
"Foreigners tell me that we Ameri
cans are just about the most wasteful
people on the face of the round earth , "
said a stamp clerk In an up-town
branch postal station the other day ,
"and I guess that is about the case.
I know it's so , if we waste other things
the way we do stamps.
"Considering American Instiuct for
the acquirement of Collars , and the
fact that stamps arenas good as money
In this country f it is hard * to under- ;
stand just why stich a huge amount
of money is literally thrown away
every year by wasting stamps.
"Maybe you thinit I'm exaggerating
the truth when I say huge sums , but
that's just because you are not in a
position to see what goes on. Neither
am I personally , but stamps-are in
uy line , and 1 take pains to ask the
delivery superirirentlent and the re
ceiving clerks a Few things occasion
ally , and what they tell me is aston
ishing.
"I don't thiiilv it can be saying too
much to say that 'Uncle Sam is' much
than a" niiliioii dollars in pocket
every year as the result ot careless
ness in the use'of stamps. .The gov
ernment never loses anything by such
carelessness , and always gains , " says
a writer in. the New York Times.
"How many do you put loose ina
drawer or' your desk or in a corner of
your pocketbook or wallet and never
think of again until you come across
them , aged and decrepit , while rum
maging about mouths later ? Of
course nobody ever thinks of even try-
ing to redeem such stamps. They
couldn't if they tried it
"I shouldn't wonder if you lost 20
cents' worth of stamps yourself in this
way every year. Now , , the population
of Greater New York is approximately
8,500,000. Supposing that the waste
of the sort I am talking about aver
aged 20 cents annually , the total would
be something like $700,000 in Greater
New York alone. You may think this
is putting it pretty high , and per
haps it is , 'for of course a good part
of the population of the city consists
of children , and then there are other
classes who seldom use stamps , but it
s pretty plain that several hundreds
of thousands of dollars are lost to
Uncle Sam in this city every year in
stamps that are paid for and never
used.
"Hot weather used to be responsible
for more gain for the postoflice de
partment than any other one cause.
Stamps were ruined by the thousand
because the gum melted , and they
stuck to ane another.
" The little oiled paper books of
stamps that are sold now and that
are getting to be so popular have in
terfered with this source of govern
mental revenue. They separate the
gummed edges so that they cannot t
stick together. . e
"Lots of people are careless about
putting stamps on envelopes 'and pa
per wrappers. The result is that often
before the stamp has been canceled
IV has fallen off and the letter is held
up at the other end of the line until
postage is paid.
"A great many more folks put on
too much postage. They slap on two
5-cent stamps TO a package that needs
only one. They are too busy or too
indolent ] to take the trouble to find
out wtfether a package requires 5 or
10 cents postage. It is amazing "how
.
Ignorant well educated and intelligent
people often are about such a common
matter of information as the postal
rates for different classes of matter.
Theypay for their ignorance , too , and
pay well , altogether. a
"Of course there is no way in. which
to tell just how much money is wasted
In these different ways , but It must tl
be plain after what I've said that it's tltl tlf
pretty big fdrtune every year. The tl
beauty of it is that the government
always gets the benefit of any mis
takes. If too little postage is put on
letter Uncle Sam simply holds it up
until the difference Is paid. If too to
much is put on , Uncle Sam simply ir
irk
pockets the excess to which he is not k
,
entitled and says nothing. " a

There is a fog at sea as well as a
ui

does not seem to' have been noticed *
tc
The fog of London aud the fog of the

fog at sea does , not disturb the saloon

itself , so far as the passenger is con hib
b (
cerned , is unaffected. Why is that ?
The word "fog" has not been traded ai
further back than the sixteenth cen
tury , but the thing was known hi the
early years of the fourteenth. The
commons , with the prelates and nobles
visiting London for the parliaments
ind on other occasions , united to pe la
tition Edward I. to compel the burn-
ng only of dry wood and charcoal , as
he growing use of sea coal corrupted
he air with its odor and smoke to the
peat prejudice and detriment of
Health. In 1306 , says the New York st (
Hall and Express , the king prohibited
, the . .use of coal ; heavy rannom and
fines were Inflicted for disobedience ,
In the case of recalcitrant brewers ,
dyers and other artificers the furnaces
aud kilns were destroyed. But the re
striction was evidently soon removed ,
for in 1308 $250 ( probably equal to
about $4,000 now ) was paid from the
exchecquer for wood and coal for the
coronation of Edward II.
BEETLES FLAVOR THE WEED.
Insect that Liuxnrial.es in the Cheat
Brands uf Ci-curettes.
Smokers of cigarettes who fancj
they are judges of tbe quality of to
bacco used In the little "colfin nails"
may be interested in the fact that as
insect known as the cigarette beetlt
gives to the poorer grades that ex
quisite flavor so highly prized by con
noisseurs. Dr. Chkteuden , assistant
entomologist of the Department of
Agriculture , who first discovered the
cigarette beetle , has since the date of
his ] first publication on the subject con
tinued his investigation of this pecu
liar insect , and in so doiug managed
to acfciiniulate in his otBce quite a stock
of cigars and'cigarettes , sent in by va
rious dealers aud tobacconists , all of t
them , bored and otherwise eaten by ,
beetles. , , .
One day recently Eugene A. Schwartz
of the department of insects , national
museum i , who , by the way , is a great
smoker , dropped into the'oliice of Dr.
Chitteudcn ( , and , seeing the cigars lyt
ing i about , supposed that tiie Doctor
hadlaid In a supply for , his , friend , ;
and selecting one began smoking it.
The cigur tasted good. |
When Dr. Chitteuden came In Mr'n '
Schwarz began praising his cigars. '
Then it was that Dr. Chi.ttendeu was
obliged to tell his friend the truth ,
aad when Mr. Schwarz learned that
he had been smoking a beetie-iufested
cigar he said : '
' "Beetles or no beetles , It is the best If
cigar I ever smoked , " and to test mati i
ters further he tried another , in so j
doing he discovered that cigars are
improved in flavor by these insects.
Mr. Schwarz , and , for that matter ,
several other smokers who have tried
these cigars are quite positive that a !
5-cent cigar bored aud otherwise acted
upon by these organisms has the flavor j
of a 25-cent perfecto. In other words , i
they claim that the Insects improve
the flavor of the cigar , aud Dr. Chit- !
teuden is awaiting further developv
ments before announcing this unusual
and unlooked-for discovery.
HISTORIC INSTANCE OF HONESTY
.
Nesrro Charwoman Guarded aTreasurj
Package Containing Tkous > aud .
"The most notable exhibition of hon-
esty within the history of the Treasury
Department , " says a writer in the La-
dies' Home Journal , "was made by So
phie Holmes , a colored woman first em- ,
ployed forty years ago by General Spinj j
ner then the Treasurer of the Uni ted i
'
States as a temporary charwoman.
Une afternoon in April , 1SU2 , whilu i
sweeping and scrubbing the floor of
the issue division she found a package
full of crisp thousand-dollar no es ,
which some careless clerk had neglectti
ed to return to the safe. She determiuw '
ed to staud guard over the treasure and
to < confide her secret to no one but Gen-1 n
eral Spinner himself , who slept in the
Treasury building during those troublej j *
somewar times. She swept the dust ie
of the room into one pile , then another ;
scattered it about and swept It up
again and again , doiug thus to keep up
the appearance of industry and to make
the atmosphere of the room as uninvit
ing as possible to the Intruding guards
who now and then sauntered in. From
sheer weakness she finally fell asleep
until past midnight , when , imagining
she discerned a figure moving in the
room , she groped her way to > the valu- _
able bundle , secreted it between two !
desks , sat upon It , and while continuing
her vigil thus fell asleep again. About
four o'clock in the morning , she was
awakened by General Spinner's foot
steps. Although she gave the Treasurer
great fright he rewarded her with a
life appointment as matron in the issue
division. And he did it justly. When
the package was examined it was
found to contain , some say , thirty
thousand dollars ; others , seven him
dred thousand. "
Preparing the Impromptu.
Great orators have generally refused
speak on the spur of the moment ou
Important themes. Demosthenes , the
king of orators , would never speak in
public meeting without previous
thorough preparation. Daniel Web
ster , when once pressed to speak on u
subject of great importance , refused ,
saying that he was very busy and had
time to master it. When a friend
urged that a few words from him
would do much to awaken public at
tention to the subject he replied : "If
there be so much weight in my words
is because I do not allow myself to
speak on any subject until my miud
imbued with it. " On one occasion
Webster made a remarkable speech
tvitbout notes before the Phi Beta
Kappa Society at Harvard University
ind a book was presented to him. Af
ter he had gone a manuscript copy of
tils eloquent "impromptu" address ,
carefully written , was found In the
