Personal Rights Must be Respected.
A New York court ronderud a
decision this week which establishes
an interesting principle of law in
regard to the use of pbotoersphs
for advertising purposes. A young
lady of Rochester, who is described
as being beautiful, learned that her
picture was used in a lithograph
advertising: a brand of flour. She
entered suit against the publisher ot
the lithograph and also against the
flour company, alleging that her
right of privacy had been invaded
and that she had been subjected to
personal humiliation. The judge,
after observing that the ground of
actum was a novel one, declared
that under the common law every
person has a right to immunity from
interference with reputation or
character. "I can see no distinction
in principle," added the judge, ''be
tween an act which, without threat
ening physical harm, injures the
plaintiff's reputation by word spok
en in respect of it, and the like act,
which injures her feelings and
diminishes the respect with which
she is held in the community, by
saying or doing something in regard
to her which tends to bring her in
to unnecessary or unwarrantable
notice." Not only, concladed the
court, has a woman the right to say
what shall be done with her own
photograph, but an attempt to take
a picture of her for sale to a painter
or publisher would be a violation of
her right of property and restrain
able by legal process.
This decision will apply not only
to the use of pictures in lithographs
tor advertising purposes, but also to
magazines and newspapers, lbe
principle asserted by the court seems
to be sound and just. People who
object to publicity, and who do not
care to have their photographs print
ed in periodicals, have rights which
should be respected. Possibly the
number of those who shrink from
such notoriety is smaller than might
be imagined, fetal, it seems that all
who wish to be let alone ought to be
protected. The New York court
has affirmed their right to invoke
the aid of the law if publishers are
not amendable to other considera
tions, and the justice of the court's
decision will hardly be questioned.
Of course, where consent is givon
publishers are at liberty to use
pictures without rendering them
selves liable to actions for damages.
It is probable that the New 1 ork
Legislature will be asked to enact a
law embodying the principles set
forth by the court, and forbidding
the use of pictnres without the con
sent of the subjects. "A beautiful
woman who is modest and sensitive,"
says the New York Snn, "sees her
picture displayed on the same page
with that of a notorious criminal or
a celebrity of doubtful repute.
Why shouldn't the law rt quire that
her consent be asked to the repro
duction of her picture in any form
or in any company ?" That seems
to be a reasonable proposition.
Many a woman's reputation for
beauty has been hopelessly mined
by the reproduction of her picture
in periodicals. Probably that con
sideration alone wonld make a
genuinely beautiful woman hesitate
before she gave her conset. Balti

ELECTRICITY FROM COAL.
The problem which lingo Jone,
of Chicago, hss tried to solve has
enlisted tho efforts of many seii ritilio
men in the last halt century.' At long
ago as 155 llucqiierul disovertd
that ho could produce a enrrent o
electricity bv burninir carbon. More
than twenty years later an imperfect
process for doing the same thing
was patented by J ablochkod, famous
for having cotno so near to devising
a practical arc light. ISiilstUuntly
Professor i. li. Cp'Ckor, of Colum
bin University; Dr. iiorohcr, of (Jer
many, and other well known elec
tricians or chemists triod to obtain
electricity on a commercial scalo by
the chemical dissolution ol coal. ( uc
of thiun was W. W. Jaquos, of the
liell Telephone Company in l.imton.
It is said, too, that Mr. ICdison at
tacked the problem at one time.
Nono of these experts, however, pro
ducud a battery which it would pay
to manufacture. And in some in
stances it was suspected that the cur
rent which they wero able to ceiier
ato was duo to heat rather than to
c'lomical action.
These facts do not prove that Mr.
Jonu has not succeeded. 1'ut the
cxiinrinnco of so man v skilled investi
gators shows that the task is more
complicated than was at ti ret sup
posed. And it serves as a warning
against a too ready acceptance of
tho claims put forward by frionds
of the Chicago chemist. It is ono
thing to gunurate electricity in a
specific way, and another to do it
economically. Sparks can be obtain
ed by stroking a cat's back, but no
body, outside of an insane asylum,
scrioiifdy thinks of lighting his house
by that method. 1 lie utmost that
can be said for Mr. J one is that he
is acting in good faith, has made a
serious attempt to improve on the
work of his predecessors, has pro
tut ted himself by taking out a pat
ent, and that he is not entirely sat
isfied with his product. Whether
or not ho has a device which will
replace the dynamo is yet to be
demonstrated.
The idea of ntil'zing a larger per
centage of the energy which resides
ii coal than can bo had by burning
it under a steam boiler is so fasci
nating that ono cannot wonder that
so mauy men have sought to achieve
that re6u.lt. It is appalling to think
that nine tenths of the latent power
of coal goes up the chimney and one
tenth into the cylinders of an engine.
The evil can be overcome to a lim
ited extent by making gas out of
the coal and using the gas explosive
ly. And the possibilities of the gas
ongine have not yet been fully de
veloped. Hut the coal battery which
so many inventors have tried to per
fect would be simpler and more ef
ficient. It would be the ideal sys
tem, apparently, and in time it may
come. If it ever does, it will work
a great industrial revolution. New
York Tribune.
Government in the Lottery Business.
The Wilmington Star, speaking
of tho land lottery business, says :
In all the history of tho home
stead business in this country there
never was the equal of the wild ruth
that has been made for the Oklaho
ma lands recently thrown open to
settlement. Two years ago or more
tho movement of land seekers be
gan in that direction, for it was then
thought that the reservations would
be opened shortly, but litigation
took place, the Indians protested
against the opening, the matter got
into the courts and that delayed the
opening.
1'ut the number of laud seekers
continued to steadily increase, until
there were finally 105,805 expectant
people campod along the borders
men with their wives and children,
single men, single women, some
socking homesteads, and many seek
ing the lands for speculative pur
poses. There this great multitude
waited, waited patiently, many of
them having suffered much in the
meantime, waiting for the registra
tions to begin. And when they did
begin there wore only 13,000 farms
to be divided among this 105,805
people. Tho consequence was that
drawing by lot became necessary,
the first names drawn being eutiiled
to the first choice.
At the rate of drawing it will take
several days to get through with it
and then there will be 152.S05 dis
appointed, landless people who wait
ed long, many of them suffering
much, and will be worse off tliau
when they first turned their steps in
that direction with a horueetead in
their eyes.
There is bad management about
this whole business and some plan
should be adopted to prevent these
rushes, and all this disappointment
and Buffering. If these people who
had gone on this wild goose chase
to Oklahoma "had come South tbey
could have gotten better farms at
less money, counting the loss of time
and expense while waiting on the
frontier, as many Weetern people
have already done.
The government's stock of gold
is larger than ever before. It is now
$504,354,297and is increasing at the
rate of about $5,000,000 a month.

THE KOCH SENSATION.
Apparently a new period in the
medical treatment of tuberculosis
has developed in siiceeioti to that
inaugurated by Dr. Koch only 11
years ago. It was then, in 18 'JO,
that the great German bacteriologist
died, scd tho existence of a tuborcu
Ionia or phthisis germ, and perfectly
described it. Snbsi ipiently others
came to the conclusion that the bit
man and bovine tuberculosis were
one am! tho sanio thing and that a
case of lmiiiiin tuberculosis could be
a means of communicating the gerrn
of the diffuse to cattle and that tho
germ of the bovine disease could be
transmitted to human beings. Dr.
Koch now di dares that the human
and bovine forms of tho disease aro
different, and that tlio hi) man being
and the cow aro mutually immune.
If he ii: correct, his alleged disco v-
cry must prove most important. In
deed, the degree of its value cn
hardly be overcalculated. lie will
have freed medical science from the
labor of lighting tuberculosis where
it has boon thought to bo almost un
conquerable and directed its oucst
of the causes of the disease and its
spread in the human raco into a rela
tively confined area.
I r. Koch s eminence as a barter i
ologist is a very strong argument for
the acceptance of Ins announcement.
His opinion in any branch of bacten
oh laical research will weih against
actual discoveiii's by less tamoiis
men. But he docs not try to win
favor for his theory by the more ar
guuietit from authority, lie pre
sents iK-rlectly legitimate evidence
of the correctness of his views. He
says he has tested tho relative capa
bihty for infection of both the germ
t Imiiiihi) tuberculosis and that of
Ixivino tuberculosis and that he
stands on the results of his works

No department of church work-
calls for the best talent more urgent
ly than the Sunday school. The
need of an elevated standard ol
qualification for the religions in
stroction of the young called forth
recently a discussion in t he Christ lan
I lei aid as to whether this might be
procured by paying Sunday -school
teachers. The preponderance of
opinion is that service rendend
voluntarily is the most effective.
Truly the labor of love always car
rit with it more spiritual power,
and this qualification is the one
above all others, for that teacher
misses his opportunity who, while
he imparts scriptural knowledge
does not lead his pupils to make
choiae of the wsy of eternal life.

DAD BLOOD,
DAD COMPLEXION.
The skin is the seat of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but areall due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruption, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and tot ash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
aaed in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per
manently the ugly blotches and the rtd,
di&gnring pimples.

No bonnet lawyer would enroll r
ago false swearing ; but when a law
yer is guilty of eiicournging erjiiry
u a witness nc should lie sent to
tho penitentiary along with the p$r
jurer. Morally guilty of crime,
also is that lawyer who abuses wit
nesses, attacks the dead, assails char
acter, and makes base appeals to the
gnorance, the paMtioiis, prejudices
if jurors. There appears to lie a
looseness about the law or tho courts
sud the practice that permits crime
and acts aginntt justice and dicencv
and truth and fairness to be com
mitted with almost absolute impu
nity in the very temples of iustiee.
Rarely is there a determined at
tempt to punish the perjurer, who
s too often aided and abetted by
those who profess to be honest and
respectable. The courts, of which
the lawyers arc a pert, re to blame
tor much of this, lbe solemnity
of au oath should be citipluuiz"d.
The violation of it should be speed-
ly punished, raise swearr g i a
villainous crime to which many are
too easily tempted, and it deserves
punishment.- Nashville (Tenuetsct )

Mark Twain a Recluse.
Mark Twain has fakeu up his sum
mer liDme on the borders of Lake
Sarannc.in the heart of tho Adiron
dack mountains. Far from he
noises of New York, within the
depths of a forest primeval, he lives
tho life of a recluse. The circle of
his society is narrowed to the mem
bers of his own faiAily, consisting
of his wifu and two grown daugh
ters. He reads no daily papers.
Even his mail is left stacked tip and
uncalled for at the nearest postotlico.
Seated in a little tent beside the
borders of the lake, Mark Twain
spends tho largest portion of Lis
time in work. Systematically brook
ing few interruptions, he applies
himself from four to sevtn hours
each day.
After writing steadily from lo in
tho morning until 2 in the after
noon he part-kee of a luncheon in
his house. The remainder of lie
day in devoted Id rending and
recreation. At one time l.o will
patr"tvza a hammock which swings
between two trees far hack the
woods. At other times, either at
companies) by his daughter or alone,
he will take a canoe trip on Lake
SaranHc. Very frequently his after
noon is Soiit with si.inu favorite
bonk by tin- lake side. Here, sitting
on some old nt isf-grown log, he will
spend hour ait r hour, reading at
ti'ins, at others gazing in reverie
out over the waters of the lake.
After his dinner at 0 o'clock ho sits
on his vei Hilda till bedtime about
lo o'clock. New Yolk telegram to
