On2 | old eustomer, ‘more sorrowful |h5\n| the others, remarked to those outside the door that he had no objections to Billy Sunday “batting the head off the devil if he wants to but that he ought to let a licensed business alone,” The tabernacle has,been constructed for Billy, prayer meetings are being held there nightly and there is o great deal of enthusiasm in the city over the coming of the evangelist. Billy has been and is being subject- ed to considerable criticism for his language and his manner in the pul- pit, but he appears to be a man of much magnetism and there is no de- nying the fact that he does make a favorable impression on many sinners. No other man has been able to cre- ate as much enthuslasm as an evan- gelist as he and while many"may not agree with what he savs they will all probably admit that he exercises a great personal influence over a por- tion at least of those who come to hear him.. When his coming causes a man to cease renting his property for the liquor business when he has made a practise of doing so for years, some influence out of the ordinary is in the neighborhood. Billy Sunday has already gotten in- to the “movies” and he is seen in'a very active manner preaching to im- mense crowds of people. They seem to be well dressed and a very orderly gathering of people in which there. are numbers of women, none of whom seem to be shocked at his utterances TROLLEY STRIKE CALLED OFF, The strike on the Springfield Street Rallway lines has been called off after a couple of days duration and the troubles which led to the strike will be taken up and probably settled by the state board of arbitratton: The men voted 570 to 60 .in favor of re- suming work, which was an important step towards the settling of the trouble because it is much easier to reach an amicable agreement when the men are at work than when they are out. There are two claims on the part of the men, one being that trans- fer registers be installed and that three conductors discharged for ir- regular accounting be reinstated. The company has agreed.to the former re- quest but has refused to take back the discharged men unceonditionally, but it is willing to arbitrate the matter, which in itself is an indication at ieast that the case in 'question will be considered by impartlal juages. The union, however, refused to consider this matter in the first place and it is claimed that this refusal was one! of the principal causes of the strike. The board of arbitration does not seem to have any power to act while a strike is in progress and that ac- counts in a large measure for ‘the cfforts made to have the men return to work first and then have the dis- puted points taken up afterwards for settlement. Everything considered it 1s a good thing that the men have gone back to work and the chances are that all the difficulties will be patchea up. A strike is bad for all parties concerned and just now when business is a bit dull makes it worse still. The reason is coming when the trolley business will improve and it would be re- grottable that anything should happen to-interfere with it, while a strike is always bad for the employes, who can least afford to remain idle. They would of course receive some a: t- ance from their union, but it 1s better to be at work when the income s larger and there lability to expense and the probability of running into debt which is so often discour- aging to the average person. is less Arlingfon Cemet: (Washington Star.) Arlington cemetery becomes more and more a treasure of the nation as patriot bones are laid there. The num- ber of men at rest there grows. The new parts or the southern acres of the cemete are being closly dotted with white and gray stones which promise soon to be as numerous as those in the older or oak-sheltered section of the grounds. Monuments other than the individual monuments are being ded- icated there. Within a few yvears hav been consecrated the Spanish War monuments, erected by the Legion of Loyal Women; the Confederate monu- ment, the monument to the army of nurses of the Philippines and the Rough Riders’ monument, and then will follow the erection of the new am- phitheater. Soldiers of the Revolution, of the second war with England of the many Indian wars, of the Mexican war and thousands of the soldiers of the civil war, the Spanish war and the Philippine insurrection are buried there. Very likely the revolutionary soldiers resting there are men . who fought in the I"rench and Indian war Arlington is &lose to Washington ! geographically, but too far by the | routes of travel.

Boston, as usual, has spoken the last word in support of a new order of things. What better recognition could be offered to the feariess new type of woman who i8 making rapid strides forward in almost every profession, than to appoint a woman as official rat catcher of a city. During its an- nual spring clean-up, Boston is to have a “rat day” and Mrs. Robert S. Bradley. the wife of a prominent Back Bay resident, is to be at the head of a committee of rat-killers. Not alone Mrs. Bradley is to be given an oppor- tunity to display the valor with which emancipated woman can face and fight the rodent.

If the statement that whereas the establishment of a state farm would cost $50,000, it costs us $360,000 a year to take care of in- ebriates under the present system could be accepted for wnat it seems 1o say there would be no question oi the economy of establishing the farm at once.

Cuba without the cacoanut palm fringing the white surf and bending rakishly over the trails that wind into the foothills would lose much of its enchantment for visitors. What the natives would lose by the disap- pearance of the cocoanut palm needs rio exposition. One indeed does not have to be a native to know its mani- fold uses. The roval palm, rearing its plumes in solitary state, is splen. did, and in groups and approaches to country houses its immaculate stems and tossing fronds are magnificent beyond the power of words; but the royal palm is more to be admired than loved. The cocoanut palm seems human by comparison, dowdy perhaps and careless of its looks, but social, neighborly and kind; a tree to live with, dream under, die under even, in sight of the sea. A man enamored of the tropics might embrace Cocos nucifera in a transport of sentiment, but he would never think of taking liberties with Oreodoxa regia. In the last number of Modern Cuba we find the warning again repeated that the cocoanut trees of the Pearl of the Antilles are dying fast, just as our maples, elms and chestnuts are succumbing to disease. In 1908 an alarm was, sent out from Baracoa, that ancient palm embowered, lonely sea town just around the corner from Cape Maisi and the Windward Pas- sage. Baracoa is a great cocoanut market and the trees were sorely stricken by the'insect ravages. Now the same story comes from all' parts of the island. According’ to. John R. Johnson, an authority upon . this palm, the exportation of cocoanuts from Cuba has fallen from 25,000,000 to 7,000,000 in a few years. Unfor- tunately it is hard to arouse the peo- ple to save their inheritance. They have wasted it with no thought of the morrow, and they will not Pln) the healer to what is left. Jamaica and Trinidad are up and doing. In those British islands the authorities dea] with “bud dot” vigorously. Trees are cut down by hundreds and thou- sands to prevent spread of the dis- ease. From Trinidad a planter ‘writes: You may remember what a. hot- bed of disease the Laventille. dis- trict was. It was thoroughly cleaned up, all affected trees destroyed and an inspection made for three months. As a result it is now in a very healthy condition, and if the work is contin- ued the losses will become fewer and fewer every year.”’ The Trinidad law enforces quaran- tine against infected nurseries and plantations, and owners are com. pelled to care for their diseased trees. Mr. Johnson urges the Cuban gov- ernment to legislate to save the val- uable cocoanut growth of the island. It should do more. The nut planted in a sandy soil, covered with sea- weed or soft tidai mud, quickly ger- minates a2nd a sturdy plant shoots up. By the fifth year the tree béars mar- ketable fruit. Five years may be considered a long time In Cuba to wait for a harvest, but uniess the governmeht protects the healthy trees on the island from “Bud rot” and en- courages new planting the cocoanut industry iz dcomed. The various gov- ernments at Iavana have had warn- ing enough for a considerable number of years. Cocoanut blight is an old story in the West Indles. When Charles Kingeley landed on he beach at St. Thomas more than forty years ago, realizing the dream ol =2 lifetime, he found the cocoanut palms dawindling, fading and dyving in great numbers under the atlack of ‘'the elaters, firefly or skipjack bee “Almost eve cocoanut grove wh h we have seen,” he says, “has a sad and shabby look, as if it oxisted (which it does) on sufferan: % Cuba today has an agvicullural department that is supposed to em- ploy American methods. Tt assists the growers of tobaeco, fruits and vegetables in ma ways, judging from the bulletins issued, but no prec. ical work is being done to arrest the disease that threatens to destroy the aluable cocoanut groves of the is. land. Surely the crop is worth sav- ing and imcreasing, though the gov- ernment may fail to understand the attraction of the palms to touriste, who leave a good deal of gold in Cuba every winter. Great Deal in Honest Name. (New York Sun.) It is a commen practice for sons unable to win respect for their own names to steal the names of others who by honesty and honorable per- conduct have achieved gaod standing; in the community. Of this fraud New York has had several examples lately. and it notoriously afflicts the retail business of the town to a scan- dalous extent. At present it is dif- ficult to protect the public against such impositions, the only means of de- fense being a ecivil suit prosecuted hy the rightful bearer of the assumed or imitated name at his own expense and to wuard his own interests To remedy this situation and make less simple the path of the swindler an amendment to the penal law has been favarably reported by . the as- the right setilement’ of using shall hereafter use,. or flle _a ertificate for the use of, any family riame or names or simuilated spelling ‘Lhereaf to carry on or & cob@uct or transact busihess ip this state unicss the name or one of the names so used | or intended to be used ik the irue or real name of the person or of one of the persons comducting or irténding to conduct said business, or said per- Son or persons are succeseors in im- terest to the person or persons there- tofore using the old name or names to carry on or conduct or transact bus- iness, in which case the certificate filed shall so state.” Vielatién of this proposed prohibi. tion would be a misdemeanor, punish- able by fine and imprisonment, and its enforcement would assure the pub- lic that, for example, when they thought they were buying from a Le Boutillier they were not actually trading with a Kosofsky, which is Auite a different matter. The amend- ment protects the rights of all per- sons legitimately entitled to use well known names, and would affect only those wha sought to utilize something of value to which they had no right or real title Thé assembly should pass Mr. Stad- dart's bill as reported by its commit- tee, and the senate shodld follow syit. The measure is in the public interest and for the protection of the ultimate consumer against the pirates of retail trade. ‘Tracing “Typhoid Mary.” (Brooklyn Standard-Union.) Mary Mallon, known as “Typhoid Mary” because of the theory of the department of health that she spreads the germs of that disease, and who was released frofa North Brother Island on parole, with the condition that she would aceept no position as @ cook, was arrested at Coroma by a squad of policemen under the com- mand of Lieutenant. Samuel Belton, and taken to North Brother ' Island, : wkere she may pass the rest of her life. The arrest was based on a pro- vision of the sanitary code which gives - the health department power to take | into custedy any person witk an in-| fectious disease. It was only after a long investiga- tion that the woman, who is fifty years old, was located. , ' She was released from North Brother Island February 19, 1910, aftér she had signed a promise that she would not again take | a position as a.cook; The health department. investigated an outbreak of typhoid fever at the Sloane maternity hospital, in Manhat- tan, in January of thls year, when elght cases started among the nurses ; and physicians of that ' institution. This was on January 11, and by the 21st of the month a.totar of twenty- five cases developed and two of the patients died. The health department learned that the outbreak oceurred: after the physicians and nurses had ! partaken of a dessert made of gela- tine, which ig said to be a good hiding ; place for the typhoid germs. ,All the | kitchen help were examined, and all « but one woman, who was the cook, + gave negative results. ‘The cookl showed slight traces of the typhoia‘ germs, but when this fact was given - to ‘the health department, the cook, who' was employed under a name other than Mary Mallon, had de- parted for a destination unknown, By tracing the references given by the’ cook, the health department offi- cials traced her to Corona, where she was located and taken into custody. The policemen made a canvass of the neighborhood where the woman was evidently in hiding, and when they | were sure she was at home one of the | policeman climbed up to the window and jumped ‘into the place. A bulldog greeted the muan, but the animal was silenced with a piece of meat and the woman was found in an irner room. Mary Mallon first came into public netice during an outbreak of typheid fcver at Giem Cove, in 1906, when twenty-six cases developed.

If the existence of the purely dec- crative governor's, staff did no harm to anveody bat its own members—if its only bad frul® were the fostering of such small boy vanity as lingers in the breasts of many fully grown men —the subject might be dismissed with a smile, But because the tinsel colonelcles and majerates and - cap- | taincies of the staff become confused | in the minds of the people with the rea] milltary tities conferred by the state upon her eitizgen soldiers the ef- fect is to discredit, to a greater or less extent, the status of tae reai sol- diers of the Nattonal Guard. And this is a bad business which puts the maintenance of the entirely useless governor's staff in a different light. It is not merely a joke: .it is =a handicap to the military establish- ment of the state; because not many people know that it has really moth- ing to do with tre military service at all, and that the way in which these foolish colonelcies and majorates are handed out is not the way in whieh actual National Guard commissions are created. Even the most stubbornly reluctant are being forceéd to recognize the fact that the military training of a consid- eragble number of men is a real neces- sity in this country; it is beginning to dawn on all minds that the militia is potentially a factor of very great im- portance. It is going to be the earnest task of every state in the Union to develop its militia to a | greater degree of effectiveness.
