Various stories will be told to-day as to printing of extras announcing the sighting of La Gascogne yesterday, The cold facts are that “The Evening World" extra at 435 P. M., twenty minutes after the sighting of the vessel at Fire Island, told the facts then known, This was a full half hour before any other newspaper printed even the rumor. At a few minutes past 6 o'clock, when its rivals were just issuing extras headed “Is It La Gascogne?’ “The Evening World's" night edition announced that “La Gascogne Is Safe" ‘This was fif- teen minutes ahead of the next best paper. Later “The Evening World” ts- sued another extra giving further de- tails, “We are never going to stop evils of that kind by simply corking up certain places.” Thus Bishop Potter, speaking of the evils of intemperance and the matter of closing saloons on Sundays ot any other day. The Bishop is on rational ground. "We have got to go away back to the sources of intemper- ance," he says, ‘The matter of Sunday selling 1s a mere incident.” It is @ mis- fortune for the temperance cause that more men of his cloth do not follow the Bishop. ause certain Brooklyn hospitals rules, and the hospital officials r to exercise discretion and human |sense, a poor woman gave birth to a t|child yesterday in a police stable.
