- f 8S CAKBX Of A OBEAT
txrtm. .-
-' rw Tnrk Tinier If one of the
,' younger of the areat," reputable ,'ew
York newspapers. It la Just celebrating
iu Wh birthday. The Commerdal Ad-
. Terttoer Is 1 year old, The Evening
Poet win be 100 years old on November
16th. The Bun to yean old, The Her-
" aid K, The Tribune 68 and The Journal
of Commerce tt The Times, however,
while coming along a, little later than
one of these, haa had a history of use
fulness and honor equal to any. It has
Just reason to take the pride it dws in
its honorable career. With its Issue t.f
September J5 it published a supplement
reviewing the history of the paper. The
cover design is an exquisite piece of
work and the supplement contains, be
" tide the story of The Times itself, much
interesting history of New York Jour--;
Balhm. and is illustrated with many
pictures of the great editors of the
' past, Henry J. Raymond, the elder
James Gordon Bennett, Horace Greeley,
' Charles A. Dana, and other noted fig
ures tn Journalism. In addition to the
supplement, there Is a fac-slmlle of the
first issue of The Times, a 4-page, 6
column little paper, which, In compari
son with the modern newspaper, look
' like thirty cent. The most Important
" piece of news in It is the acu. int of a
fugitive slave riot in Lancaster county,
Pennsylvania, served up under a slm
gte head and following three and a half
columns of dry news from Europe, but
. which, having Just arrived that day by
the steamer Europa, was considered the
- Important news of the day and wu
V given the best position In the paper.
The only attempt at a "display" head
" was that over the batch of European
news and this caption was general and
indefinite and was In no proper sense
1 - an index to the news that followed it.
Fifty years ago the art of "serving"
. news In an attractive wv by attrac
. . tive headlines was evidently unknown.
Several articles in this old paper will
. be of particular Interest to-day, In view
of the series of international yacht
I races in progress. The America had just
captured the cup from the champion
British yacht the lOOguinea trophy
which has remained orfjthls Bide of the
' water ever since. AJtanmunleatlon to
the editor of Tne'fcopaon Times upon
American and English yachts Is
reprinted, it u a comment upon
. -th. defeat of the English yacht
by the America. "We have been
beaten," It says, "signally defeat
' ed on our own element. Our yacht
squadron, so long masters of the Solent,
hitherto victorious in all sea fights, are
completely routed, and I had almost
aid, put to flight. In conclusion, 1
have only to express a hope that we
shall not degenerate into the vulgar
Imitation of our victor, a course in
which we shall always be behind him,
. but arouse ourselves to apply more In
dependently than hereto the resources
of our science and skill to the attain
ment of that superiority in ym-ht build
ing which we have hitherto fancied we
possessed."
An extract from The London Spec
tator says of the defeat; "Off one of
our great naval ports the shipbuilding
' , of England has been challenged by an
alien vessel and defeated totally. It is a
, remarkable Incident and not satisfac
tory to the national pride. We may find
, , solace in the fact that it is due to acci
dent." An accident, indeed, that has not
been righted in half a century! Will It
be this year?
-, The first editor of The Times was
Henry J. Raymond, a man wfio wus
singularly fair-minded and independent
in a day of bitter partlsanry and wlio
has left the imprint of his character
and genius on American Journalism.
The Times acknowledges that the near
er it has approached to the high stand
ard set by Its first editor the better
newspaper It has been. Thom; familiar
with New York journalism will rcim-tn.
ber that its motto is, "All the news
that's fit to print" and The Times has
lived up to It. It Is one of the cleanest
and ablest of modern newsitaprrs and
it is reassuring to think that papers of
this high Idtal still rind a field for tf
, fort and service to the public. The
Times, now under the control of Mr.
Adolph B. Ochs, who also owns The
milaae'phla, Pa., Hnd The Chatta-
nooga, Tenn., Times, is enjoying a grat
ifying degree of proierlty.
The greatest' achievement In the notn-
ble career of The Times was its suc
cessful warfare on the Tweed Illng In
. 1870. The paper In this conflict for jus
" ' 'tiCe.and good government was led by
- the Jate George Jones. It staked Its
very existence on the issue, for, so
v powerful had Tweed and bis gang be-
' - come, they would have undoubtedly
found means to accomplish the ruin of
. , the brave newspaper had It not suc
, ceeded. In driving them from power. It
' - was one of the most creditable and lin
portant services ever rendered by a
' , newspaper,.-;4 ? , .
lh commenting on The Times semi
centennial. The New York Journal of
Commerce gives a bit of ' interesting
newspaper history. It says:: -,
The Times In IU retrospect remarks
"f , that the lessened Importance of discus
i loh and the increased value attached
- to the collection, and presentation of
news is the most notable phase ot the
' newspaper evolution or this veneration
As a matter of fact, the news rivalry of
, i years ago was in some respects keen
' f r than it is to-day, though it took more
rational ways of manifesting itself It
whs on the eve of the French itevoiu
tlon of 1M0 tt.at the conductor of the
old "Journal of Commerce" bought and
eutiliwd a small, swift scnooner,
named after the paper, and sent her to
cruise at sea, in .order to intercept
DAeket ships and bring in the latest in
telllgence. This was the first news boat
of any size in America, and the enter
nrlse, was regarded by its contempwa-
r es as naicuious ana ruinously expen
sive. The result vindicated the wisdom
of the conductors of The Journal of
Commerce, and the other papers were
forced to Imitate its enterpriser Nw
was this all: In ISM The Journal of
Commerce established a horse express
from Philadelphia to Now York with
eight relays, and by this means pub'
lished the proceedings of Congress and
sll other Southern news one nay in au
vance of IU contemporaries. The other
papers established an opposition ex
press from Washington to New yorx
whereupon the proprietors of The Jour.
na) of Commerce extended, their relays
to Washington, so that they regularly
beat the government express 2Wiours,
It was In an understanding about the
collection of news between the old
Journal of Commerce and the then
young New York Herald that there was
formed the nucleus of the Associated
Press, of which the editor of The Jour
nal of Commerce became the first presl.
dent. -
The Observer wishes The New York
Times as brilliant a future career as It
has enjoyed In the past.
The press dispatches have recently
noted the gathering of Orltlsh warships
In the Persian Oulf. The trouble sems
to be that the Turkish pasha at Busru,
some time ago attempted to land an
expedition at Kowelt for the purpose
of putting do(wn one of the petty insur
rections common on the Arabian bor
der. In doing this he was deterred by
the British ships clearing for action.
The Turkish government protested t
Oreat Britain that It considered the ac
tion unfriendly but the English govern
ment contends that It considers Kowelt
under tha jurisdiction 'of one Ma
bourakh, an Independent sheikh, and
that the action of the British warships
in clearing for action was necessary to
preserve the peace of thij region adja
cent. The attempt to land Turkish
troops was repeated the other day
with similar action by the British
men-of-war. And thus the matU-r
stands. Turkey has recently had a
falling out with France. Now she is
coming under the displeasure of lip
oid friends, the English.
The most strenuous efforts have been
put forth to discover a'ny confederates
thnt Czolgosz may have hnd In his as
sassination of'Presldent McKlnley, but
without result. It begins to look as if
there was no plot but that Cxolgosz
acted entirely upon his own Initiative.
This, however, Is, as far as we have
ever heard, an unprecedented thing In
anarchistic effort. It may be that an
archists have acted without prompting
by or confederacy with, other anarch
ists in the prist, in the history of nota
ble assnslnallons, but we do not recall
any Instance.

Blgh BnUh Authority Bhow That Tbslr
Treatment Was Without raalt.
In considering the reason or reasons
of the fatal Issue we may leave out of
consideration the bullet Itself; where !
It was lodged-it could do no liarm, and
time and the patient s strength would
have been wasted in searching for It.
The injury to the kidney also appears
to have been of but little moment and
need not be further considered. The
damage to the pancreas was probably
unimportant, though It has been sug
gested that the-cscsipe of pnrureatl"
Julce"may have caused, or assisted In
causing, the ."gangrene" of khe bullet
track iescrilxMi in the accoiint ot the
necropsy. Tills is hardly likely, as the
"gangrene" was -found also In the
wounds of the stomach wall. The peri
toneum and the wounds of the stomach
remain to be considered. There seems
to lie r evidence that at any time
was there any (a-.rltonitls, and this was
contlrmed by the absence of leucocyto
sls. the blood having been examine
several times during the imiient's life
It does not appear from the account of
the nwwpsy Hiat any b ietei lolnKlml
examination whs made of the peri
toneal wall or fluid. Still, we sh ill
probably mt be wrong In iuh liming
that na peritonitis was taescnt. The
etnpfy condition of the stomach pre
vented extravasation occurring, at
least to any great extent. Tile uoutul
In the stomach wall were sutui 1 with
a minimum of delay, and apiwretitly tin
leaving occulted.
How shall wt account fiv the "Rnn
grene" of the margin of ih.. wound.'
There I no need to suspect any isils
oned bullet, ami the supixmiilon that
!such a bullet was usd was probably
due to the fervid imtifflnatlon of a re
imrter, rn.t unwilling tn pile horror
upon hoirov. It is by no menus rare to
find alter revolver wounds of the atom
;Pch wall that but little attempt at re
' pair Is made. This is to fe attributed
i In part U the patient's general state.
The pathological condition has been
I met with lefore and will doubtlessly
: often occur again. Suigery does all of
which it is at present capable. Th
wound is carefully sutuied and the
i lierltoneal i.tvlty Is aseptic, anil jvt
I healing docs rot oci tiTj The bruised
j gastric wall has not sitiAcltnt vitality
to wowp and It makea no effort.
I The fayorablc prognosis which was
I put forth ut Hist was so far justified
th.it in som? msts recovery might have
followed, but the Istuie hardly comes as
a surprise. The Injuries were terrible,
the patient was no longer young and
the circumstances were such as to pro
duce, even In a man of Iron courage,
the maMmum of shock. If we may
venture to criticise any portion of the
treatment we feel inclined to suggest
that the feeding by the mouth was
somewhat In excess of that which Is
usually considered advisable. But
while we say this we know that to the
brilliant surgeons and experienced phy
sicians sround President McKlnley's
bed there may have been Indications for
the bolder treatment impossible to be
disregarded, in short, on a careful
review of the whole case we feel Justi
fied In saying that surgery did Its best:
the sad result is to be ascribed to the
lack of vitality of the tissues them
selves. -

BRITISH PLAN NOT LCUAU
rrof. WMtlaka Declares Against Putting
Hoera on Trains to Stop Wracking.
Ixmdon Dispatch, 2Sth,
Prof. John Wcstlake. of Cambridge
Imw rnlverslty, a well-known author
ity on International law, referring to
the mu h-discttsscd (piestlon of the
rlKht to nut Boers on trains. In South
Africa with tin- object of preventing
train wrecking, declares against It on
the following grounds:
Annexation converted the Transvaal
and Orange River Colony burghers into
subjects of King Kdward. Those who
are living pciuvahly under his govern
ment are not governed by the laws of
war, but by those of the land and Great
Brllnln claims their allelnnee, as was
proved In the arrest of Dr. Krwuso, th"
former Governor of Johannednirg, on
a charge of treason. Therefore to put a
peaceable ex-Boer on n railway train
as a defence would la? the same as di
Iqk it to a natural-born British subject.
If It Is suggested to take the victim
to the concentration camps a dilemma
arises. If they are free to leave the
l amps they are within the category of
persons who have accepted the King's
change of status by llvimr peaceably
under the King's government. If they
arc not free the British have no right
to assume thnt it Is their option, if
they had any they would have so exer
tised it as to make them still enemies
of Great Britain.
Apart from the legal point, even the
Germans did not put the French nota
bles on trains without giving notice,
which Is dlfllctilt to give to nil the scit
tered bunds of the Transvaal and the
Orange River colonies.

"I was troubled for several years with
chronic Indigestion and nervous debil

cines I ever used. They have also kept
my wife in excellent health for years.
