Mr. Roosevelt is gradually revealing Bimeelf. In some way he gave the people te believe the other day that he hoped his ‘nergy in enforcing the Sunday law fwould lead to its repeal or to the putting fem the statute books of a substitute more liberal, more in accord with the feelings and wishes of the principal city ‘e@ the United States. Mr. Roosevelt said Yesterday, “Oh, dear me, no.” Then he explained that while he might wish the law more liberal in some respects, % others he hoped it would be more ‘etringent. Mr. Roosevelt is jumping around 2% and fo often that nobody can tell frhere he stands. First he said he was ‘wing the strength of the force against bo Mquor dealers to show each and ‘Overy policeman, from chief to pa- \@rolman, that the day of blackmail is wnéed. Yesterday he announced that he ‘was striving to crush a ring, a political Ting, a ring of all the brewers In New (Fork, which “has much money in its Control and which will spend its money fto defeat the cause of honest govern- ment.” Then Mr. Roosevelt plays dema gogue and says “we have opposed to us he corrupting power of wealth.” Again he says he cannot select one Statute to enforce; he must enforce all Whereupon he enforces the Sunday \@tatute regarding one class of citizens and neglects every other Sunday statute. Mr. Roosevelt is not to be caught. He ever says one thing or stays In one position long enough. His 1s the real @ecret and true art of the self-adver- eer. To three men only in this genera- tion was this secret given, the present Emperor of Germany, Theodore Roose- velt and Phineas T. Barnum. Why do not the Police Commissioners Dut @ uniform at the windows of every Brivate dining-room in the DROUGHT, YES; GRASSHOPPERS, NO. ‘The hay crop has failed up the Stat Cows are on short rations, and milk is @0 gsearce that it may be as great a luxury as champagne in a short time. Gome farmers are feeding green oats to their cattle and others are thinking of providing the animals with green @pectacies, and giving them a menu con- aisting of fence whittlings and agricul tural papers. A drought of many weeks’ @uration has brought about this condi- tiom, and on top of it all there is a Plague of grasshoppers, . We are not quite so badly off in this city, We have had a drought, several @roughts tn fact, but we do not eat hay, although we certainly suffer hayseeds to make the la by which we are tyrannised. If we were hay-eaters we ‘would probably be glad to get green oats or bluebells or brown-eyed daisies to @wach at our meals, as no doubt the cattle up the State are, But, thank goodness, our meals haven't been shut om yet by Mr. Roosevelt, and as for grasshoppers in large bodies, we do not expect or fear them—they wouldn't be able to get a mouthful of corn juice here a @ Sunday, so there 1s no inducement for them to come, ‘To-day'r cartoon pictures the Sunday @ituation. No fear of Roosevelt going thirsty on that day. He can go to his @lub and get all the drinks he needs, PETTIOOATED, BUT NO PETTIFOGGERS. Four women have just been admit ted te the Bar in this county. This makes @ix Portias in all that New York now has ready and willing to practice law. ‘Westerday's graduates disclaim any pre- tension to being new women. They say they love their chosen profession, and Ihope to adorn it. They also hope for Briefs, and will let their shingles futter fe the breese in 4 few days, hire an ‘@Mae boy, and be prepared to habeas Mandamus or certiorari any- their way and hase iff lewyeresses have our for their success. We Gnd & line of cilents a them when they ces every morn- Money every day to keep them busy shopping a whole week. But we would advise them against vituperation at the bar. As for objurgation, that, of cour: 1s out of the question, ‘They must not scold, and they must not pull hair when the argument geta #0 hot that the ther- mometer won't record it all. Another thing: When the opposite side wing the case our fair young ex- pounder of Blackstone must not flop herseif down in a chair and weep and say the lawyer that beat her is mean and horrid thing. “Tornado might bother this city.” Well, why worry about it now? Man- fhattan Island might sink, An earth- quake might destroy the Capitol at Washington, But nobody ts moving to Labrador on account of either possibii- ity. . FUN FOR THE DOG DA’ If you are not mixed up in the fight there Is a heap of fun studying—no, watching—Republican politica In this State, Don't try to study the situation. You might as well try to study a min-/| atrel show or a vaudeville entertain-| ment by Ollie Teall. In fact, most of | this Republican fight, on both sides, resembles nothing so much as the va- riety hall entertainment in which men | in many-colored garments Jump into and out of places of concealment and be- labor one another with loud-sounding bladders, | Here is Mr. Hackett, who has just taken his turn at hitting Mr. Brook- field with @ broadside, or a pronounce- ment, or an edict. It reads much like the defi of the Sophomore class to the Freshman class, It has a loud sound, and nothing more, except an interjected defense of the integrity of Mr. T. Platt, who gets the new description of e Republican State organization at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.” To-morrow it will be Mr. Brookfield's or Mr, Milholland’s turn with the bladder. And, oh! funnier than all else beside, these gentlemen are thinking of asking Benjamin Harrison to restore harmony, though the poor old gentleman had ot troubles enough of his own, Per- haps they think he fs a magictan, who can draw harm like @ rabbit, out of his grandfather's hat, They are wrong if they think so, and they are wrong if they think they can get the old gentleman into this fight, where he himself may get a stray crack from one cf the bladders. Benjamin is not very good at fighting, but when he does fight he wants @ weapon that makea no noise and takes the other man out of the fight. Long Branch doesn't want the trolley, It isn't the custom of trolley magnates, however, to ask whether anybody wants their monster, ‘The probability seems to be that Long Branch will get it. MURDER BY SLANDER. Clara Elchner, once a handsome girl of eighteen, lies In the village cemetery near Torrington, Conn, She died of potson administered by herself. To all intents and purposes, however, this poor girl was the victim of premeditated murder, Some other girl still living in Torring- ton must carry through life on her soul the guilt of murder. It was scandal that killed Clara Eich- ner—a scandal wholly unfounded in fact, maliciously sent forth for no other fmaginable reason than that some one was Jealous of the girl's good looks, pure character and abundance of ad- mirers, An anonymous letter in a fem- inine hand and a father's temporary doubt, a community set to whispering, a serles of cold looks and turnings away—these came and broke firat the girl's spirit and then her heart, She turned to Death for solace. Clara Elchner was not scandal’s first victim, She will not be tts last. That this can be said 1s a terrible commen- tary on the uncertainty of human kind- ness and the too frequent lack of hu- man charity Heroines are born, not made, The lit- tle eight-year-old girl who ran and waved her sun-bonnet to save @ pas- senger train from the perils of a sunken nd submerged track in Minnesota last Sunday had the same spirit’ which makes a Florence Nightingale or a Grace Darling. Little Gertrude Ander- son, for the quickness of thought and courageous action which led to the sav- ing of twenty lives, thus takes her place, even in her childhood, on the lst of the world’s brightest and bravest ones, “We shall enforce all the laws, so far as our force will allow us to." This ts Roosevelt's confession of a lack of force. He doesn't explain why he concentrates against misdemeanors involving no dis- order and no breach of the peace—while street rows multiply, burglars grow bold and sneak thieves resume old industries, The Essex Market gang was at Police Headquarters yesterday and terrified a witness so that he feared to t Mr. Roosevelt is requested to tak few policemen away from the side doors | and aboli h the gang, Muntcipal home rule is the predom inating issue in New York City for this Full, No tariff ines and no currency talk, Personal liberty ts at stake.

M., in which a Mexican | he w: of sixty-elght years wedded a senorita of sixteen years, that the compensation 8 called upon to make for the dif- ference in their respective ages was set- tled at thirty varas of land, an adobe house and five apple trees, presumably to be paid to her parents, Veal and Tapieca Soups, Three pounds of neck or serag of veal, the bones well broken and the meat cut small; one turnip, one onion, half cup taploca, two blades mace, two tea: spoonfuls celery essence, three quarts cold water, Put the meat in the cold water, and soon as it comes to boiling point akim carefully, Add vegetables, salt and pepper; cook slowly three hours, Soak tapioca the same length of time in one small cup of milk; cook = fow minutes; strain, How to Keep Waists. The problem of what to do with one's waists nowadays tg certainly a serious one, The ordinary bureau drawer is not deep enough to hold the sleeves without crushing them, and they cannot, of course, be very well hung up in a closet on the hooks therein, A simple device {s to screw several of the arms on which men's coats are hung into the celling of the wardrobe and depend the waist from that. In no other way can it be kept 80 free from crumpling. Weiner Schnits For thoss who like German dishes I recommend the following: Cut veal tn small slices. dust with salt and pepper, dip in egg, then in fine bread crumbs, fry a light brown; garnish with filets of anchovies rolled in smali balls, slices of lemon, chopped beets and watercress, Yellow Tomato Preserve. Sixteen pounds tomatoes, ten and @ half pounds sugar and the juice and srated inside rind of eight lemons, Re- | move the skins of the tomatoes and as | you skin them drop in a colander to let the surplus juice drain ff; then put them in the preserving: mettle, cover with the sugar and let stand over night. In the morning drain the tomatoes from the juice and boll the juice and sugar to a syrup; skim It as tt boils, Put in tomatoes and boil slowly twenty min- utes; then take them out with a perfor- ated skimmer and boil the syrup down quite thick; put in the juice and lemon rind shortly before taking from fire. Put the fruit in the jars first, 60 as to two-thirds fill the then fill up with the juice and seal tightly. A Home-Made Rag. The woman who rejoices in home made things will be pleased to learn that a rug may be made from coffee sacks, Take a sack of the size required and hem {t, Then from another sack cut strips eight inches wide, fold down the centre (leaving the double strips four inches wide) and sew firmly to the | foundation about half an inch apart. After it is all covered dye the rug any desired color, and after it is dry fringe out the strips to half a dozen threads, .

It might also be well in an- Ulclpation of an early adoption of thelr golden theories to immediately begin erecting buildings on wheels and axles or else folding-up affairs, 0 that when the seventeen thousand (these are the ringle-taxers’ figures) vacant lots in this city are thrown on the market, these buildings may be immediately moved thereon. Rents all over the city would then necessarily decrease (of course it Is to be understood that the increase of OUF population would thereafter be strictly pro- hibited) and landlords would be happy in the agreeable (1) uncertainty of their position, care. fully counting the hours they would be permitted to remain in thelr chosen locations, with the pleasant (1) feeling that great portion of their autiful structure solely for the benefit of thelr tenants, I would also suggest that @ model almshouse be erected to which the poorer farmers and suburban property owners might resort, should thelr possessions be adjacent (and In many cases they are) to that of ‘a millionaire whe might desire to increase the ex- tent of his territory, oF for other reasons, personal ‘or otherwise, A. KAPLAN, Mr. Hall, What fs Your Anti-Bald Formaulat To the Editor: Two weeks ago we read in “The Evening World’? of Clerk Hall's success in making his hair grow, and that he would be glad to tell bald-headed men how he did it.

Man Is Not Immort To the Editor: Dr. Doane is quite right, Man is not imm tal. The Scriptures aay ‘That which befalleth the sons of men befaileth boasts; as the one dieth, xo dieth the other; yea, they Dave all one breath; so that a man hath no pre-eminence above a beast,"’ The an- clent Jews knew nothing of future lite, Their frst ideas of it were derived from the Egyp tlans and the Babylonians, especially tho latter, There 1s no mention whatever of Immortality or future rewards and punishments in any Bibli- cal passage written before the Babylonian cap: tivity. STUDENT. (Beclesiastes i., 19) Murderesses Go Unpunished. To the Editor: In reviewing the many cases of deliberate murder committed by ihe go-called gentler sex, hone forfeited her iife for her crime, while un- fortunate men were put to death for crimes far leas heinous, The cruel and deliberate murder of poor Mra Pearsall was never avenged, The murderess was allowed to go free on the law vere trick—inaanit. ‘The murderess and Mra. Meyer, who united her efforts wiih her husband to poison a man to get the insurance, were aot punished as @ man would have been, Uf Buchanan had been either of these women he would Rave been loaded with flowers from women and the Governor would have been besieged with petitions by the thousands from women, The Governor would assuredly change the sentence Cignanale because of sex. But I am sure he would have never been sentenced to death, no matter bew heinous the crime, if he had been a woman, Dr, Buchanan was put to death on suspicion, and might have been innocent In spite of the verdict, It 18 time that revengeful, designing and decelt- ful women who commit murder should be pun- ‘shed with death as well as men, The insanity dodge 1s about played out for them, T.

MIKE THE BIKER - Paterson Wheelwomen Pretty, To the Kaltor: In reply to “R, M. Cycler, We girls who ride the “silent steed” through Paterson are on an average pretty girl, R. M. Cycler says to ‘select a place of advantage whore great numbers pass, and there you will see my assertion that all wheelwomen are all ugly verified.” This I did, selecting Markt street. During the hour in which I waited twenty-five young ladies passed, and only fiye were really homely. 1, myself, ride @ wheel, and this story of “R. M. Cycler’ has excited indignation, not only in me, but in five other girls who begged me to answer for them.
