England ts curious about the killing of the purser of a British vessel in New | Orlean: Spain wants the Cons General at Havana recalted. Queen Lil fe anxious to know if her great and good friend really means to let her spend five years in jail. Venezue'n begs to in- form him that Great Hritain tx still Grabbing, to the detriment of the Mon. foe doctrine. Frum Samoa comes a wild plaint against German aggressions, and the American Ministers at Pekin and Tokio are getting themselves #0 deep into the Chinese-Japanese quarrei that Gresham will have to put on a diving suit to haul them out. Meanume from the home «ide a thou- and farmers howl for retaliation against French and German prohibitions of American beef; all the jingolsts demand the Immediate extinction of the Spanish Empire os a revenge for three cannon balls alleged to have been fired at an American merchantman, and there is a wail over the Brazilian-Argentine arbi- tration, It ts no wonder the Secretary pleads ainess and locks himself up in his room, Pending the return of the President, TWO NOTEWORTHY MEETING: ‘Two meetings, held yesterday, were in touch with public sentiment as well as with good, sound common sense. One, convened at the Chamber of Com- merce, was held by the New York Kindergarten Association and was at- tended by such prominent and valued citizens as Lawyer Choate, ex-Mayor Hewitt and Dr, Rainsford, as well as by the leading women of the Assocation, Me . Seth Low, Mrs, William Jay, Mrs. SH. Schieffelin, Mra, George Haven Putnim and other: The other was held at Cooper Union, and was @ striking expression In favor ©f common-sense statutes to regulate the liquor traffic, with equal rights for all on Sundayr, and freedom from in- tolerance, bigotry and impracticable legislation. In the former the duty of the State to educate its children, one and all, and the great value of the kindergarten as the first step in the rescue of the little ones from idleness and vice, found elo- Quent advocates, In the latter practical views were expressed in connection wit! Properly guarded Sunday opening law: and It was shown that such a system would do more than anything else to put @ stop to law breaking and black- mail. It is to be hoped that both meetings will have their good results, oth are nm subjects near to the people and cal- eulated to promote the interests and happiness of the people, WAGNEE AND GEIP, No doubt Mrs. Dr. Freidenberg is a 00d performer on the piano, But sh delights in Wagner, and his mus played with a powerful touch, on a full- toned instrument, and heard through @ brick wall, sounds very much like the beating of tom-toms at a Chinese cele- bration. Judge Martine has been very sick. He fs the next-door neighbor of Mrs, Dr Freidenberg, and her playing has aggra- vated the grip and added greatly to his @ufferings. What with Goff in his hair and Lohengrin in his ears, the Judge's Rerves have been in such a condition as te render his life a burden. In the opinion of the courts and the Health Board there is no remedy for the evil complained of, and no relief for Judge Martine. Aq far as alleged music is concerned, a man’s house is hip castle and he can do as he likes in 4, He cannot boil bones or try fat, or de anything else to send forth to his Peighbors unpicasant and unwho:esome Gers, But he can fill their ears and ghgek their nerves with stalwart doses without restraint.

The accident at the Thirty-fourth Street station of the Third Avenue Ele- vated Rallroad yesterday was unques- tlonably caused by the incompetency or carelessness of the fireman in charge of the engine, The engineer and con- ductor, rumor says, were absent at their dinner at the time of the occurrence, ‘The train was the one run on the shut- tle road between the Long Island Ferry and the Thirty-fourth strect station. As soon as the smash took place, one Passenger hastened to the street and Rave the information to a policeman, Another passeager sent to Bellevue Hospital an ambulance call, The rafl- road people do not scem to have done anything except to seek to conceal the accident. The policeman hastened up to the station and was told no accident had occurred there. When inquiries were made by anxtous persons, the employees insisted that nothing had happened and denied hay- ing heard of any trouble, ‘The Police Sergeant at the East ‘Thirty- fifth street station sent over to the raflroad for the name of the freman and was refused all information. Meanwhile Miss Lydia ‘Thompson, twenty-two years old, had been taken to Bellevue Hospital, with serious in- Juries, aud Matilda Fisher, sixty-four years old, had boen carried to her home in East Fourteenth street, suffering reverely, Both were passengers on the train, A law is needed making it a mi demeanor for any officer or employee of a railroad to conceal from a voll officer or other authorized person the occurrence of an accident, or to refuse to give such information concerning the same as may be in his possession. | EDITOR AND “ LIVING PICTURE.” A “living picture’ picture has upset in raimentless splendor on the first page of @ Presbyterian church weekly when the paper appeared a day or two axo. Although the word “Hope” was printed in apologetic type under the pictur vome of the mubscribers recognized tt @ vartety actress who is goon (o appen in the Windy City, Immediately a howl was raised, and the editor of the weekly has been on the run ever since, ‘The editor says a man came along and told him the picture was “Hop: and as {t seemed to personify that swe salvage from the wreck of Pandora’ find and Insist on having an explanation from 1% the one who discovered that “Hope” was really a “living picture.” To bo sure there Is the little incident of the firing on our flag by a Spanish war vessel to attend to, and Italy ts making some protest a, inst the lynch- ing of her eltizena in Colorado, and there are some other matters requiring atten- tion at the National capital, But then the Government can t along well Chough without Mr, Cleveland, amd duck shooting does not last all the year round.
