CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPONS. Ht having developed that a prisoner before Judge Me- ‘Mab m had served ten days in the Tombs for carrying a fFévolver, the Judgo said; “Any man who carries a re- solver ought to aerve a term of ten years.” ‘exaggeration for the sake of sententiousness, but it 1s baser.on a proper appreciation of the peril to life of the pistol habit. It {s a habit on which we lecture the South periodically while licensing a thousand citizens to 0 about with deadly weapons In thelr possession, ready | in. & moment of passion to shoot down a fellow-citizen. And we wink at the practice on the part of others who have not gone through the formality of securing @ per- amit. The number of such permits revoked by Commis- sioner Greene at the time of the recent Subway strike, troubles indicated the extent to which the department had indulged private citizens in making arsenals of themselves for self-protection. “It is generally the Joafer,” says Judge Cowing, “who is found with con-| ¢ealed weapons. But it is an alarming fact that more ‘New York people are carrying revolvers than ever be- fore.” / It is an abuse of personal privilege for which a more adequate penalty should be provided. A man’s life ‘ghould not be permitted to depend on the flash of a pistol | or stiletto from the pocket of a man made blind by momentary passion to all sense of justice. DEATH FROM APOPLEXY. Dr. Love, dying at fifty-five of apoplexy, had but entered the “apoplectic area,” or period of human life © guring which deaths from this cause are most numerous, This araz may be roughly said to extend from fifty to seventy. the maximum of deaths ooturring at sixty. “Thus, ja 1901 in New York the number of apoplectic fatalties increased from 73 at forty and 82 at forty-five to 148 at fifty, 145 at fifty-five and 194 at sixty. The ‘dimjnution began at sixty-five, at which age 166 died. ‘ftese are Health Department figures, which show 2.540 deaths from: apoplexy in 1901 out of a total of 70,720. in 1902 the number was 2,449, A man's observa- tion of the causes of death that most conspire to remove hie friends might lvad him to think the percentage of auch fatal strokes larger than it is. Actually, apoplexy ranks low ‘n the list. Is {t by a beneficent provision of Providence that the apoplectic stroke strikes its victim down so frequently at @ time of unusual mental exaltation? The blow falls at A moment of.great joy or festivity, halting a jest on the lips, interrupting a hearty laugh with the fatal summons. A cerebral shock, the rupture of a weakened blood vessel in the brain or the arrival of a tiny clot of foreign matter abnormally deposited there by the blood, and the candle of life js snuffed out. Is it not better so than at the end of long months of weakness and pain?
