Now that No. 12,249 were taking women and children into a death-trap. Public indignation was aroused, and the result was the sen- tence of Buddensiek to State prison for ten years. He was pardoned two or three years ago on a plea of Illness that threatened his life, after filling the greater part of his term. The Orchard «treet slaughter Is worse than that in the Buddensiek erime, and if the facts are as alleged, the punish- ment should be sure and at least as tevere. No more execrable crime could be committed than that of erecting an uneafe human habitation for the greed of money. No person dreams of danger in an apparently well-built dwelling, and no one hesitates to make it a home, ignorant of the fact that at any moment it may become the grave of all held dear in the world, ‘The mangled bodies of the poor work- men and the sorrows and sufferings of the bereaved families demand that full justice be done in thin cruel case.

A Brooklyn pastor declares, in his excitement, that the movement for the Sunday opening of saloons is “a direct insult to God.” It is not generally be- leved that this is an inspired utter- ance. There is also a feeling that it cannot be a very sincere, earnest or gratifying observance of a special day which can be maintained only by the |enforcement of harsh, dictatorial laws. ‘The Brooklyn preacher, however, ought tO see that the movement to which he referg Is not a revolt against God nor against Sunday. It \s simply a cam- paign for the justice and equal rights which the Constitution grants to all men and which the present Sunday laws deny.

American vaudevilic managers are still singing tacit winge at the elusive light that surrounds the unique but expensive Yvette Gullbert. From an authent!> sonede it 1s learned that she has recetved tempting offers from Oscar Hammer- stein, who declares that he is not all xmitten; from Koster & Bilal, who will tot adinit that they think her capable of making an Immense hit; from Mr. Keith, Who is rich enough to afford any- hody, and from Mr. Proctor, who has the advantage of them all, for the reas xon that he Is on the spot, and can turn the torrent of his persuasive eloquence upon the mercenary Yvette without agents. Mr. Proctor’s French, it Is ald, is” trifle foggy, but his personality te intelligible. So far, Yvette still aske outrageous terms. She has moderated chem somewhat, but the very lowest figure she will accept for an American engagement is $3,000 per week. In Lon- don they paid her £49 ($200) « night, but if che comes to America she wants to cover the time lost by the journey to and fro, Then she insists upon an engagement of Hot tesa than six weeks.
