The Weekly Panorama.

'Retuard of Heroism. By a display of much courage and ingenuity Edward Mullvehill, a baggagemaster, saved the life of Mme. Schumann-IJeink in New York the other day and at the same time prevented her from falling into the hands of the police who wished to detain her as a witness to a runaway. When; the danger was over and she was safe on board the steamer on which she sailed for Germany the famous prima donna rewarded the hero by throwing her arms around his neck and giving him a kiss. The question is at once raised whether the ordinary hero would consider himself properly and sufficiently rewarded for saving the life of an elderly song bird by a single, kiss from her ruby lips. If the value, of a prima donna’s kisses is to be computed on the same financial scale as her high notes the most unmercenary of heroes might be excused if he preferred to take the equivalent of the kiss in cash. Such an equivalent in the case of so famous and highly paid a singer as Mme. Schumann-Helnk might well amount to a sum sufficient to allow the humble baggagemaster to retire from business and live thereafter on the interest of his money. At any rate it is to be hoped that Manager Grau will not prove ungrateful. He should at least send to Mr. Mullvehill a check for a sum equal to what Mme. Schumdnn-Heink would earn in a single evening.

Injustice to a Child.

The ignorance or stupidity of the constable and police justice who brought a 13-year-old girl from Matteson, 111., to put her in the county jail In Chicago, almost passes belief. The

found in the grass along the railroad near her home. A neighbor caused tho child’s arrest, and there appears to have been nobody to defend her. The justice of the peace, whose duty it is to know the law in such cases and to prevent injustice instead of inflicting it, has displayed a degree of ignorance that is highly discreditable. The mittimus by which he meant to send the child to the county jail charges the prisoner with “larcenl and insolitlng a lade.” The spelling is merely a surface indication of the deeper Ignorance of the duties of the position he holds. This child appears to need a little parental care and attention rather than imprisonment. She was promptly released and sent home by Judge Tuley of Chicago without trial.

An American Countess.

Though the Countess of Strafford has been little beard of since the sudden death of her husband a year or sa ago, she is still as popular and as much sought after as ever, and is expected to re-enter society as soon as the period of mourning for Queen Victoria is over. The Countess, as is well known, is an American woman, whose first .husband was the late millionaire Colgate of New York. She married ths Bari of Strafford in New York in 1898, and had there been a male heir resulting from the union the countess would now be entitled to occupy Wortham Castle and the house in St James square, London, both of which were put in order with her money. The Earl was killed by a railway train, and,

COUNTESS OF STRAFFORD.

leaving no heir, the estate all went to his brother, the Rev. Francis E. C. Byng. The countess visited her mother, Mrs. Samuel Smith, at the Laurel House, Lakewood, N. J., last summer. The Countess has one daughter by her first husband.

Horses and the Grip.

More than fifty thousand horses in New York city are disabled by a disease which the veterinary surgeons say Is the grip. The symptoms are the same as those shown by human beings with that disease, Including the suddenness of the attack and the subsequent weakness and collapse. The percentage of deaths among the horses also appears to foe about the same as that among people when the grip first appeared in its virulent form. The greatest loss to the owners of horses is caused by the inability of the animals to work during the week or two in which the disease runs its course.

child is too young to go to jail for any crime, a fact which both these country officials should have known. Moreover, her offense appears to have been nothing more than the taking of some eggs from a hen’s nest

Current Topics

Problem of Labor on the Farm. Economists and students of industrial conditions who “view with alarm” the constant invention and multiplication of labor-saving machinery in this country will find food for thought in the present efforts that are being made to coax the idlers and hoboes from the cities to the western wheat fields. It is the same old Macedonian cry for help from the farmers of Kansas and Dakotas. The harvest is ripe and the reapers are few. Vast fields of golden grain are already overripened and the farmers are threatened with heavy, losses through inability to secure the necessary help to harvest the crop. Employment agencies and railroad companies are making the most tempting offers to the unemployed. In some instances wages as high as |3 per day and free transportation are offered. But the idlers prefer the overcrowded city with a meager and uncertain livelihood to good wage;: and plenty to eat on the harvest fields of the Dakotas.

Gifts to yale and Harvard.

Commencement week is the time when the colleges "take stock" like business firms and reckon up the financial receipts of the year. The presidents of Yale and Harvard have mad a announcement showing that the year has been one of remarkable prosperity for both institutions. In the last twelve months each has received gifts aggregating about $2,000,000. No further proof is needed to show that the remarkable new era of educational donations and of university expansion continues unabated. The most striking announcement is that of J. Pierpont Morgan’s offer to erect a group of buildings for the Harvard Medical School at a cost of about $1,000,000. The buildings are to be a memorial to Mr. Morgan’s father. The new architectural building and an endowment of $300,000 for that department have been given by Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Robinson of New York. Is addition to these Important gifts President Eliot was able to announce that mors than $750,000 in cash had been given to Harvard University in the last year.

Horse with Straw Hat.

How are you, Mr. Horse? I see You wear a new straw hat, And it is quite becoming to You, too, I’ll tell you that; I watch you plodding down the street. And as I stand and gaze I think of those old ladies who Wore shakers and looked much like you— Back in the glad, old days. Ah, good old horse, I’m glad to see That some one cares for you, That some one cares for you. As I and others do, Kind hands still smooth your mans, that they For whom you strain and sweat Know that you have the sense to feel The pain of woe, the Joy of weal— And, knowing, don’t forget. —Chicago Record-Herald.

Highways Versus Railways.

An average speed of forty-five miles per hour, exclusive of stops, was mads by the winner of the first run of 282% miles in three days’ automobile race from Paris to Berlin, which is to be finished today. Does this mean that the railway is to yield to the highway? In an exceedingly suggestive article in the June North American Review Mr. H. Q. Wells foretells the reconstruction of modern cities in this country through the automobile moving over new systems of broad, smooth roads, carrying freight as well as passengers. eclipsing railroads in enterprise, comfort, adaptability, and speed, and lengthening the limit of the one hour’s ride, and so the radius of the ''urban district,’’ to 100 miles.

English of tho Creoles.

The intelligent struggles of the Cuban teachers with English have furnished us with a good many „ pretty stories. One day not long ago the teachers were Invited to some sort of gn evening function at the Longfellow house on Brattle street It happened that shortly before the hour for the assembly some ladles who were in front of that house were politely approached by a group of male Cuban teachers, who, with their hats in their hands, stood bowing. “If you please, dear madams,” said their spokesman, “we are Invited at this house tonight. We wish to attend. We were been on an excursion to the distance, and have not the time to go to our house. So that we wear, as you see, our day dress. Perhaps you can tell us if It would be permitted to us to go to the reception in our day dress? If it would not, then certainly shall we take the tlnffe to go to our home and put on our night dress!” The ladles assured them that they would do much better to go as they were than to put on their night dress, and they bowed gravely and gratefully and withdrew.—Boston Post;
