THE BROOKLYN BURGLARIES, Rogardless of its merits as a be Latimer affair Js Ikely to work « reform in Brooklyn) police methods by attracting public attention to their inefficiency. The meeting of citizens in a private house on Quincy street to devise measures for ending the serie of robberies in that residential district and Comints-| sloner Partridge's sha er of rebuke to Inspector McLaughlin for the J 6 discipline which hy wade the robberies possible are somewhat extraordina developments of the situation. Conditions whi the gathering of oa Informal vigilance committee ne sary ina and well-governed clty are unusual, to say the least. .

Midsummer burglaries are not numerous !n Man- hattan; the Commissioner's theory that in Brooklyn they aro due to the fact that crooks “take advantage of lax work on the part of patrolmen” is doubtless correct. | And incidentally the rebuke is evidence that the reins of authority are grasped more tightly in Mulberry street| than they were. LOVE AND PARK BENCHES. ‘A park polteaman named Werdann crept up on his! ‘hands and knees behind a young man and young woman sppearance frightened the young woman into hysterics. Magistrate Hogan, in Yorkville Court yesterday, fined the officious officer $10 and characterized his act as a most dishonorable one. A just judge. Zeal of this sort 42 out of place In a “sparrow cop.” Werdann should be shifted to a downtown beat—say that on Forty-fourth| gtrest, where Canfield's 1s—and some of his curicsity ‘talon out of him. Young men and meideps in close communion on park) Denches in the moonlight have rights and privileges ‘which prying policemen are bound to respect. Was! {Werdann never young? In the brave days when boys fare twenty-one “and every goose a swan, lad, and every fess @ queen,” a park bench may be a Vernis-Martin 4s not to be interrupted rudely; if personal recollections trate ke Hogan will, and the public will honor him for it. THE NEW CROP OF LAWYERS. One hnndred and twenty-four young men were sworn in as members of tke New York Bar yesterday. There was doubtless no irony in Justice O'Brien's congratula- tory address when, quoting Lord Chief Justice Russell, he laid stress on ‘the possession of ready money as one ; of the chief essentials of success in this profession. It Js poor picking for a young lawyer at first; after his earnings begin they expand steadily in volume. The opportunities of law practice were never greater than now. Divorce case fees have increased and sopa- ration suits multiplied to such an extent that it is serl- ously proposed to establish a court svlely for their hear- ing. Commerctal litigation was never so remunerative to counsel and the formation of trusts and communities of dnterest offers rewards undreamed of by Jawyers of the last generation. The oyster is there if the young imb of the law has the sword wherewith to open it. THE WAR LORD AND THE TRUST LORD. J. Plerpont Morgan and Kaiser Wilhelm think very well of each other, It all comes of tho Impertal quick lunch which the great trust lord and the magnificent war lord enjoyed together the other day. Now Mr. Mor- gan says of the Kaiser: ‘He's n great man, for a fact!” and the Kaiser, according to Mr. Clemont Griscom, one of Mr. Morgan's friends at the Imperial luncheon, has “expressed admiration for Mr. Morgan.” Mr. Griscom also adds that the Kaiser not only admires Mr. Morgan but “thinks that the United States is a good country to model after.” Morgan's octopus hatchery would be encouraged In Ger- many, or that the Kalser would let him and bis Wall Street associates own and run a convenient little law- making Relchstadt of their own tn Germany, Mr. Gris- com {1s consuming the wrong brand of frankfurter or else he has taken an overdose of wienerschnitzel. The Kaiser was no doubt highly impressed by Mr. Morgan, but he's never going to be as good to him as Unele Sammy has been. WELCOME, MISS MARY MACLANE} Mary MacLane 1s coming Hast.

ORIGIN OF ARMY LEGGINS. | TO STRENGTHEN THIGHS. “I don't believe that one soldier out of a thousand knows what caused this Government to adopt leggins in the army,” | sald a member of the G. A. R,, according to the Chicago Inter Ocean, “During the civil war leggins were not known in this country, The soldiers wore stockings, and when marching through mud they would pull their stockings over their pants, “In this way stockings took the place of leggins during the entire war, Each soldier usually had two pairs of stock- ings, and he utilized one of these as coverings for his trousers when he struck deep mud. Then, after the march had been ended, he would pull off the stockings, put on a clean pair and wash the old ones. The stockings always protected his trousers from the mud, “It was some time after the war that leggins were adopted in the army, and it is my opinion that they came as a direct result of the stockings scheme which the boys of ‘61 in- vented. “Many similar conveniences which we now have grew out of that fight. For instance, there is roasted coffee, Before the war roasted coffee could not be had on the market. Dur- ing the rebellion the Government roasted its coffee and sent it to the men. After the rebellion had ended enterprising merchants put roasted coffee on the market and made a mint of money out of It. “Bofore the days of the war desiccated food was unknown in this country, The Government sent barrels of dried vegetables to the soldiers, and at first they were laughed at. I remember that the men !n my company took the dried food and threw it away, ridiculing the idea that it was fit to ear ‘There were some German soldiers in the company, however, who quickly gathered up the vegetables, and that evening a most tempting odor of viands proceeded from their tent, The boys investigated and found that the Germans had stew: the dried vegetables and made an appetizing dish out of them. Thus war, well peace, teaches us a few things about what to wear and what to eat,’ MOTOR BALKS SLEUTHS.
