The terrible news from Romberg, of the death of Mr. Peterstein, wife of the Southern Pacific railroad foreman at the hands of an infuriated mob of Greek section hand, and of their wild assault with fire-arms upon the overland train conveys a lesson at once imperative and impressive. The herding of such rattle in such numbers upon the public works of the territory in which thousand of idle American are vainly looking for work and cannot find it because of the presence of just such irresponsible and irrational fiend, is a wicked blunder for which the employing company i chargeable. It is needless to plead that the Ameri can will not work for the beggarly stipend the Greeks jump at as compen sation, every one who knows anything at all, knows that no self-respecting white man tan live on the pitiful wage these etarvling foreigners manage to ex 1st upon; it is needless to plead the lie that they are better workmen, and equally futile to say the American can not be had to do the coarse and ar duous labor: Thee sophistries have been urged Jong enough to cover the mis takes and evils arising from the employ ment of the hordes that ravage and kill when the slightest pretest offers: It is simply a question of decent wages. The companies know this better tran any one else. Hie life of this one good woman has a value transcending the wealth of property owned by the road and its exacting directors and can never be com pensated for, unless, by some fortuitous act of the managing conscience of the road, the low and dangerous gangs of aliens are supplanted by a native class tltat, at least, respects the law and womanhood. That she wm killed by accident does not in the faintest degree mitigate the crucial sacrifice; the only marvel of the whole situation is that a score of others on the train were not slain by the same fusilade. The splendid gift of freedom bestowed by this country does not include the web of racial violence in the warp of U goodly mantle, and it is time some legal steps were taken to abridge the evil, that will be effective and final. 0 WISDOM AT LAST. Automobile driving is getting to be pretty serious business these days. Press dispatches told yesterday of two serious accidents; one at Athens, Michi gan, in which two were fatally injured and one seriously hurt, and another at Newton, Massachusetts, in which three are likely to die. Both mishaps were due t faai- Turning,.- When one stops to consider the ter rific speed at which these powerful cars are hurled along highways, the only wonder is that more violent deaths are not recorded. Auto racing is likely to die out; every year adds to the already 1 long list of killed or maimed. It is an nounced that the mt prominent auto mobile club of Kngland and France have decided to discourage haiardous jmling. Plainly it would I a good thing to discourage in this country. The manufacturers of motor cars have come to the conclusion that rac ing victories are no longer valuable as advertisements. It would follow that they will not footer auto racing to any extent hereafter, and the twen tieth century crate for record smash ing will be diverted iuto leas danger ous channels. It must be remembered that the dangerous machines are not the or dinary runabouts of the streets and country roads. The big machines, which often have seventy, eighty and ninety horsepower geared to their flying wheels are the ones which leave the trail of death. The automobiles in general use are comparatively safe, swift and valu able. With the announcement that Har ney Oldfield, Walter Christie and other daring motorists have abandoned auto racing, it may be safely predicted that the motor cars of te future will 1 built for safety firt and comfort next. Speed will be a minor consideration. ' o UNFORGIVABLE BLUNDER. When Sculptor Burglum, of New York City, destroyed his carven angles to put an end to the foolish controversey en gendered by the clergy and wardens of the Pnttestant Kpiscopal cathedral of St. John, the Divine, who inited that the sex of the angelic group should be mas culine, instead of feminine a the great artist had carved them, he made a big and unforgiveable blunder. The beau- tiful types of his handiwork were hi to do as he elected to do; but there is an inherent title, an intangihe pos sessory right, vested in the public, that even a great artist is bound to recog nize, before obliterating the exquisite creations of hi brain and hand that mean so much to humanity. There i nothing left to do but to deplore the irrepareable loss, and hold the bumpti ous critics of that famous pari-h wholly responsible for the almost criminal de privation consequent upon their judg ment. 0 By the way, it is about time some thing was done in behalf of the big. new, modern hotel that Astoria is to have. She will need it next summer. There will be more people here than ever before, and she must not suffer re proach on this score. than half the pupils enrolled were pres ent yesterday. The trouble started over the refusal of many parent to allow their children to lie vaccinated. I'nder the system of credits whereby the Mate allows 8 cents per day for attendance the city will lose consider able sum of money. Physicians have discovered that George Williams Gatt died front the ef fect of a withered pancreas. The pub lic was already aware that the man was dead. Columbia University has dropped two football players from the. team just because they were deficient in 'their studies. The faculty in some college expects altogether too much from it students. Profeor Miller of the University of Berlin announce that the bite of a girl is more deadly than the bite of a ser pent. The professor announces that he has made a special study of the hac teria of the mouth but he neglects to say under what conditions the experi ments were made. Germany's meat famine is so alarm ing that horseflesh is no longer obtain able. A few slices of the American hoir j would lie acceptable in that country now. An advertiser in an eastern pajer ha conceived the unique scheme of having his "readers" and space matter set upside-down in the paper. He pays double rates for the -erviee and the paper car ries a foot-note with each ad.' fixing the re-tonibility. but the advertisement is effective all the same. Contemplate for a moment the appearance of the sheet if the majority of the u-ers were per mitted to do the same thing. 0 Do the appointed police commission ers of this city hold their otlice until the charter tenii of their predecessors have expired, or only until the general diff election next foiTowing their ap pointment! This question is to be set tled some dav soon. JUGGLING WITH P I RE. NOTE AND COMMENT. 4 The driver of a Seattle ice wagon has been arrested at the instance of his em ployer who claim that he gave short weight to customers and sold the ice thus saved and oeketed the proceeds. It is said that there is nothing new un der the sun, but when the driver of an ice wagon can "knock down" and give out any ice at all to regular customers it is very nearly time for department storey' to begin advertising ascension robes at reduced rates. In the course of a busy life Joeth G. Cannon has had all kinds of ex periences, but it remained for a Penn sylvania man to take him for a Metho dist preacher. The man who made the mistake had a marriage license in his hand at the time he accosted Mr. Can non and he asked the congressman to come with me and perform a marriatre ceremony at once. The speaker of the house was np a stump and all he could say was, "You are mistaken in the man." Mrs. Mary S. Holladay proposes to get what she wants, if money will buy it. The manager of a Missouri rail way line refused her request for a pass, although she was a director of the line. She then bought the road, which is sixty miles long, so that she could have all the paes she wanted. This happened tenitiopths a,gq and, yesterday shfsold the road for a million, a considerably larger sum than she paid for the property. The city of Bellingham, Wash- faces a revolt In its public schools, and less; trlrka and Deceptions That Ware Practiced la Aaeleat Times. Fire tricks were practiced lu very an tlcut times. Many of today's best known tricks were employed to deceive the public of long ago. There is &oth Inj even now which astonishes the Ig norant more than the breathing of flame, au cct-oiuplisbiuent handed down from remote antiquity. The first known fire breather was a Syrlaa slave named Euuus, a leader lu the servile war lu Sicily, 130 B. C. He pretended to have Immediate couiuiuui cation with the gods. When desirous of lusplrlug bis followers with courage he breathed flumes and sparks from his uioutb. In order to perform this marvel Ku uus pierced a uubdiell at both ends, and, bating filled It with some burn ing substauce, he put It In bis mouth and breathed through It. The same trick Is iterformed today In an Improv ed manner. The Juggler rolls together some flax while it Is still burning. Ity tbls tr en 11s the fire Is retained In the ball for a long time. He slips this ball Intobls mouth unpercelred and breathes through It. His breath revives the fire, and he sustains no Injury so long as he Inhales through his nostrils only. Tor deceptions with Ore the ancients also employed naphtha, which Is so combustible that It kindles when It only approaches a flame. The prlesta of old took ndvantnge of this property of naphtha to make their offerings catch fire as If spontaneously. Varlvus theories have been advanced to account for other feats. An ancleut ordeal tvns the holding of a redhot Iron by the accused. Such trials were con ducted by the priests, who covered the hands of those whom they desired should efcape with a protective paste. The peculiar property of mineral salta, such as rWutn, In protecting articles of dress from fire has long been known. J An old Milanese devised a costume con sisting of a cloth covering for the body , which bal been steeped In alum. A metallic dress of wire gauze was add ed ta thl.'i, and thus protected a man cou'd walk on hot Iron In the midst of flames. Very fpterestlng experiments have shown that great heat may be endured by the human body. Two doctors In the course of their researches on the subject stayed In a room where the temperature was 2W degrees. A beef steak wns cooked In the same atmos phere and was overdone In thirty min ute Kir Francis Cbantrey remained for two minutes In a furnace much hot ter, the thermometer Indicating 320 degrees when he came out.

An acquaintance met Horace Greeley one day and said, "Mr. Greeley, f stopped your poier." "Have your said the editor. "Well, that's too bid." And be went his way. The next morning Mr. Greeley met his subscriber again and said, "I thought you had stopped the Trlbuner "80 I did " Then there must be some mistake," said Mr. Greeley, "for I Just cam from the office and the presses were running, the clerks were as busy as ever, the compositors were bard at work, and fbe business was going on the same as yesterday and the day be fore." "Oh," ejaculated the subscriber, T didn't mean that I bad stopped the pa per. I stopped only my copy of It b cause I didn't like your editorials." "Pshaw," retorted Mr. Greeley.
