VOLUME 43... .NO. 1 A QUIET SUNDAY, ‘The recent declarations of Mayor Low on the ques- tion of Sunday law enforcement lend a special interest to yesterday's police record. It will be diMcult for the most zealous sabbatarian to deny that the Mayor's post!- tion stands justified by the result. The Sunday Excise law was enforced “in a liberal . Spirit,” and it would be impossible to find anywhere In the United States a more peaceable and orderly Sunday than here in New York yesterday. It is not denied that the side door was accessible to the neighbors and that the pail and pitcher trade flourished, but’ drunkenness was conspicuous by its absence and nowhere was there any disorder or disturbance as a result of the Mayor's beral policy. Vioations of the Excise law led to ar- rests in only eight out of the forty-five precincts of Man- hattan and Brooklyn and the arrests numbered only fifteen. It is doubtful if any large city in the country was as well behaved yesterday as New York. Certainly none f could be better behaved. The policy of liberal enforce- ment, which is sensible enforcement, needs no further vindication. A MEMORABLE CORONATION. ‘The coronation of Edward VII., while not in itself an important event, has been marked by two incidents which almost make it an epoch in English history. ‘The first is the liberality of the newly crowned mon- arch in presenting Osborne House to the nation for public uses. This is quite a departure trom royal prece- dent, not only in England but all over Europe, where it has been the almost invariable rule that the sovereign aithtake all he can get but never by any possibility give anything away. The Edwardian innovation is a good one. The other incident is the appearance of the London morning papers this morning with illustrations, a new departure calculated to open the eyes of the readers. ‘This indicates little less than a revolution in British]: Journalism and is a flattering compliment to the more edvanced journalism of the United States. The British editor is evidently “getting a move on him.” Bot we notice that his readers had to walt until Monday morning for the illustrated accounts of the cele- bration which was h6ld on Saturday at noon. EXCURSION BOAT PERILS. Providence has been kind this season to those who + go out in excursion-boats. One in the St. Lawrence Saturday night in the crowded Thousand Island region ran on a shoal and threw her 850 passengers into a panic, One near Cottage City, Mass., yesterday, carry- ing 600 excursionists, struck a rock and began to leak. ‘Two New York boats last week broke down in the Shrewsbury River en route to Long Branch, each heavily laden with passengers.

It was largely due to a good fortune which may not last and the absence of which will bring the news of an appalling marine disaster. A WHOLESOME LECTURE, In the Harlem Court yesterday Magistrate Zeller mot only refused to discharge a Metropolitan Comr pany’s motorman accused of running down a pedestrian the night before, but read the corporation's attorney a lecture which ought to have brought a blush to the cheek of that official, if one can suppose a traction corporation official to be capable of blushing. The Magistrate said that such accidents were alto- gether too frequent, that the speed at which the cars Were run at times was outrageous, that it was impos- sible to stop a car in the length of a block, that the lives of children especially were endangered, and that he proposed to put a stop to it, even by going out to make arrests himself if he saw any more cars running » a unlawful speed. eS Sally Ann—No, T kin never say To all of which an aggrieved, long-suffering an¢|MENPLIK, EMPEROR—of Abyssinia, Dog—Please bring me some quail “yes,” ‘cause I hear dat youse is a helpleas public will say “Amen. expects to make q tour of Burope 1n| $ on toast ae _ } tast young man the near future, Goat—Oh, sir, if there was any- Yes, he's very vindictive, That's Willie—Aw, g'want I'm a mes- ' RN. mY one of als worst faults.'" se) !
