EVENING WORLD ADVERTISINO. preliminary to fall activity, ylelded The Evening World $91 columns of advertising. This was 106 columns more than for August of last year, A greater volume of retail trade may account for some of it. But trade has not increased 30 per cent. The cool weather may have been responsible for some more. But a few Sep- tember days ahead of time do not lure a wary adver- tiser into new experiments. The explanation of the bulk of the increase must be a greater appreciation of The Evening World's superior excellence as a circulating medium. It is the evening paper that chiefly brings advertisements before the eyes of the women of the house, and The Evening World more than others possesses the features that hold the feminine attention till the “ads” are seen. ‘The Difference.—New York cannot find school room for tts army of school children, but there 1s no record of !ts not being able to find office room for Its army of officeholders. A FINE TURNOUT. The only objection to the Labor Day parade yester- day was that there was not onough of it. It was well inanaged, the participants were a fine-looking body of men, well set up, alert and vigorous, the genuine “bone and sinew” of the country, and they made a most favor- able impression on the spectators along the line of march. The chief reason why there was not more of them ‘was that there was another Labor Day parade going on, the parade of the excursionists with their wives and childyen and above all with their sweethearts, which is too dear a pleasure to be missed. New York 1s pre- eminently the excursion city, and a day's outing by the searor under the woods with one’s family is naturally | more popular than a street procession with only one's fellow workmen, The American workingman always knew how to work; it is only of recent years that he has learnedi| how tc enjoy himself and to get the full pleasure of & hoiiday as he undoubtedly did yesterday. A Corrupt Practices Law.—Devery's wild expenditures of money for campaign purposes will serve a useful purpose Sf they iead to special legislation against this form of political debauchery and corruption. WHERE IS LOW¢ The thirty-odd thousand Labor-Day paraders who passed the reviewing stand yesterday and noted the ab- sence of the Mayor are not the only ones {n New York who are asking the question ‘Where is Low?" Several hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers who are watching with amazement and indignation the tempt of Commissioner Sturgis to oust Fire Chief Croker without any known reason and in defiance of the courts are asking “Where is Low?" Several millions of New Yorkers who have read in | the papers the story of the splendor of Farrell's new gambling-house, opened in contemptuous disregard of the police, the District-Attorney and the reform admin- istration, are asking ‘Where !s Low?” The Mayor is taking his vacation, but he might well bear in mind the familiar saying that the devil never takes any vacation. Right in His Line.—Fire Chief Croker signalized a brief vacation trip to Roseville, N. J., by rescuing a young woman from beneath the feet of fractious tally-ho horses. It seemed a daring deed to the spectators and It waa, but one of the sort that fs right in a fireman's line. Dntering smoke-filled warehouses in the dark keeps a man keyed wp for such an exhibition of daring. SOCIETY CHAUFFEURS ARRESTED. A number of Newport society men were in court yes- terday for fast aulomobiling, and one, Mr. W. K. Van- derbilt, jr., was fined $10. The chief of police showed great delicacy and considerable discretion in arresting the rich misdemeanants. No officer was despatched to H take them in custody, but word waa politely sent that their presence in court was desired. Mr. Vanderbilt, Mr. Robert J. Collier, Mr. Robert Fulton Cutting, jr, Mr. ‘William Burden and Mr. William Watts Sherman ap- peared. Mr. Robert Goelet and Mr. Lloyd Warren plead- ed previous engagements and were excused until to- morrow. The chief's demeanor was beyond all praise for its tactfulngess. A police chief, I!ke other men, is what his environment makes him. More important than considerations of good manners ij in this case is the fact of the arrest of these rich young i men for violating the town’s speed Inw. It fs an en- couraging sign. Mr. Vanderbilt sald in court that he i does not own a machine which can make more than fif- teen miles an hour if pushed to its utmost speed. What a change in the youth who but recently was careering through France as tts fastest amateur chauffeur! Pe- destrians will rejoice to hope that speed madness may ‘De but a fad of the moment. Ghe Transfer Frauds—The charges made by John F Carroll of frauds in the Twenty-ninth District registra- tion suggest that the State's prisons are intended to prevent just that sort of thing. SHEEHAN’S VISIT TO FARRELL'S, On the principle of learning who his neighbors are and keeping in touch with newcomers in his precinct, | Oapt. Sheehan, of the West Thirtieth street atation, paid a visit to Frank Farrell's fine new gambling-house In| ‘West Thirty-third street yesterday. Mr. Farrell's part- ner, Mr, Burbridge, met the courteous Captain at the; mansion’s grilled portals and did the honors, When the Captain's call was over he remarked that he had found ‘the house to be Mr. Burbridge's private residence. He gaw no signs of gambling there. : » eomplishments of good society of Capt. Lantry, whose © eyesight was similarly poor as regards Canfleld’s, These “/eaptains, indeed, may be regarded as twin models of Wenderloin good form. There are certain things in life ot méant for discreet gentlemanly eyes to see. This ft of polite non-vision is an essential possession of a uptown police captain, and Sheehan !s shown by ‘acts to be the man for his place.

HOW TO CUT A PEARIN TWO A pear suspended from the ceiling by a plece of thread !s to be cut exactly in halves as it falls, after burning the thread on which {t hangs, says the Pittsburg Gazette. How can we find the exact spot to place the knife on a chair or the floor so that the pear in falling will be cut? This Is done by dipping the pear in a glass of water, After sus- pending the pear a fow drops of water will fall on the exact spot, which must be noted. These preparations must be made before your exhibition, so that the audience will only see the suspended pear, without knowing anything of the drops of water. When the moment for the performance has arrived, place the edge of the knife on the exact spot, then burn the thread, and the pear in falling will be cut in two. Steep) RATS TAKE VACATIONS. Whole armies of rats leave towns at the end of summer to go and spend a part of tho autumn In the country, there to enjoy the change of diet which fresh frult affords, says che Pall Mall Gazette. Country rats enjoy the eggs of the wild duck, and of many a water fowl, besides their luckless young, for ‘whom they lle in wait in the long grass, and the rat can swim as well os run after his quarry.
