MITCHELL'S OPPORTUNITY. a ‘We can feel sure that any Commission of Arbitration selected by President Roosevelt, even within the limiting lines laid down by the operators, will command the re- "spect of each party to the strike both for the personal character of its members and their eminence in the world of affairs. If it happens that none of them ts an 4 iy acknowledged representative of labor {t by no means ' follows that there will be occasion for a suspicion of « 4 _ Dias. In such a trbunal so composed the Judicial nature | of their functions is certain to dominate personal feeling “and quell any disposition to favor one party to tile dis- pute at the expense of the other. In the White House conference President Mitchell ae: quitted himself in a way to win a commendation for his | candor and courtesy which was denied the operators bo- ‘? cause of their somewhat brusquer and more ineistent! 4 manner. The leader of the miners has an peportnalty)} again ‘to show his stature by his acceptance of the terms of mediation proposed by the coal road presidents. These terms are not all he asked, but they are a long concession toward his original demand for arbitration. ‘ To meet this conciliatory offer half way will be to per- } form a public service which the nation thinks Mr. Mitchell capable of and for which it looks to him with | confident exvectation.

The story of the storming of the gambling strong- holds in the Tenderloin precinct last night is not unlike | a chapter from a historical romance describing the cap- > ture of a mediaeval castle. Where houses which gentle- men occupy as private residences possess portcull and stout bronze doors they may perhaps rank ag castles, The resemblance was particularly striking in the as- “mault on “Honest John” Kelly's resort in West Forty- ' first street. This is the house at which Capt. Sheehan _ used to inquire occasionally with considerate politeness whether anythivg was going on behind Its grilled portals. | Detective Ayres last night with ruder methods of inquiry ‘used a Fire Department ladder as a battering ram, smashed in the heavy plate-glass window and charged © Yaliantly in with his retainers through the breach thus made. At John Ryan's place in West Twenty-elghth street Capt. Walsh and his lieutenants battered in the steol _ door with heavy sledge-hammers. It was pretty work of & knightly kind, a Richard-Yea-and-Nay of a perform- ance, Sledge-hammers and a battering ram were used also in the raid on Lou Betts’s place in West Thirty- > fourth street. ‘The stanch oak «door, two inches through ), and strapped and strengthened with iron bars, withstood » the assault nobly before it yielded to the fierce onset of ~ the investing party. ¥ Capt. Walsh, by his debut in Tenderloin gambling- house raiding, thue shows himeelf a paladin with whom the paynims behind portenllises will have to reckon. And Canfield and Farretl in their donjon keeps, so far _ secure from invasion, have reason to reflect on what May be. aight | Ohurch and Stase,—Tie Church Congress at Albany advo. 3 cates more cordial relations between the church and the theatre.

In considering Walsh's feats of gambling-house yald-| ing in the Tenderloin last night let us not overlook Capt. Smith's crusade against the crap games and pool-rooms of Harlem, which merits praise. It is in these tin-horn resorts that boys learn thelr first lessons in gambling and harm is done there to youthful morals, The drag- F met which catches these small fry sometimes lets the ~ larger fish slip through {ts meshes, That fact need not _ detract from any commendation bestowed for the catch- © ing of the aforesaid small fry. If police captains could “suppress all the gamblers and policy dealers and “graft- » ers” generally who pander to boyish taste for vice they , could be forgiven for overlooking some of the preten- tous places which attract grown-up patrons. > It is the kids about whose morals the community is “most concerned; the goats may be left to take care of themselves. THE CAPTAIN'S DESK There have been ancestral mahogany escritoires with Becret drawers that yielded up bonds and utle deeds to surprised heirs, but nothing of the sort of which we have ever heard quite equals in treasure-trove produc » tiveness the battered old oak desk which served as Police i@ Capt. Donohue's safe deposit vault.

Coal 1s the frutt that hangs so ; high on the tree of TRUSTS that the WHY GIRLS CAN’T SPIN TOPS, Did you ever see a girl spin a top? Did you ever see her and closely wind a string around the cone, and then, with a quick throw and Jerk, give it the necessary rotary motion to send {t whirling right side up? You never did, and probably you never will, because the ready possibility of doing such a thing does not le in a woman's anatomy. A girl can twirl a rope and jump one enough times to weary her watching brother, but a top tn her hands Is a useless thing, and the brother only laughs at her efforts to spin it, 42 she makes them, as he laughs at all her efforts in the di- rection of throwing. Observe the children playing in the streets at top-spinning seasons. You may watch all day and not see one girl with 4 top in her hand, while you will see hundreds with skipping ropes. If you see any playing with balls they will be simply bouncing them on the pavement, using a very short, cramped motion of the arm in doing #0, says the Chicago Record- Herald, The simple fact ts that a girl cannot throw, tn the true sense of the term, because of the pecullar construction of her shoulder, When a boy throws a ball he bends his elbow, reaches back with his forearm and uses every joint from shoulder to wrist. His arm is relaxed. A girl throws with a rigid arm, because her collar-bone is larger and sits lower than a boy's, This prevents the free motion of the arm re- quired for strength and accuracy in throwing; hence she cannot spin a top properly. AVERAGE WEIGHT OF THE BRAIN. The weights of 1,179 human brains have been collected by M. Marchand, of Marbourg, says the Philadelphia Public Ledger. At birth the average weight is found to be 9.3| ounces in boys and 9.5 ounces in girls; at the age of one year, 2 pounds and 1.5 ounces and 1 pound 115 ounces, respectively, and at the end of three years the weight fas trebled. In- crease Is then slow. Full growth is attained at nineteen to twenty years in men and sixteen to elghteen {n women, the mean adult welght betng 3 pounds 1 ounce in males and 2 pounds 10 ounces in females, Loss by sentlo atrophy begins in man at about forty-elght years, and in women at about seventy, Turgeneff, the Russlan author, had one of the heaviest brains on record, weighing 4.7 pounds, and Gam. bettn’s, scarcely 2.6 pounds, was one of the lightest. A COSTLY PERFUME. Attar of Yiang-+Ylang, which rivals the attar of roses as an exyuisite perfume, and sells at $10 to $50 or more a pound, ts the product of an Aslatic tree that reaches ite highest de- velopment in the Philippine Islands, says the Philadelphia! Public Ledger. The tree grows to a helght of slxty feet; when three years old It begins bearing long greenish-yellow flowers and at the age of elght may produce yearly 100 pounds of these flowers, blossoming every month. ‘The attar Is obtained by elmple distillation of the choicest petals with water, no chemicals belng used. Tesldes its value as a por- fume for hair and totlet waters, the product is prized among’ the natives as a medicine, being credited with ourtng tooth- ache and numerous other pains.
