Entered at the Post-OM_lce at New York as Second-Ciass Mali Matter. VOLUME 48.. «eeNO, 18,263, STREET-CAR TRANSFERS. Two trolleyrcar passengers who were refused trans- ters by the Interurban Company and brought sult against) ( > the raflroad have received checks from the company covering the amount of fine inflicted by the Court and| the costs incurred. Col. Vasa E. Stolbrand gets $89.02 and Willlam Blume, who sued for damages for three refusals of transfers, gets $237. service depends on the net amount of cash coming to them after the lawyers’ fees have been deducted. But at least they are deserving of thanks for the fight they have made to mairtain their rights as passengers and to establish a precedent for the benefit of all who travel by the Interurban Company's cars. What fs to be the company’s future policy with re- gard to transfers at points where they have been here- tofore and are still refused? Is it to be as indicated In these suits? Is each passenger to be forced to put up with the refusal and pay qn extra fare or sue individually for damages and go to the expense of .prolonged court proceedings to establish rights which by the Supreme Court decision have already been established? If this is to be the corporation's policy, the legal tactics of which it is nart cannot be too strongly char- acterized. The company’s apparent abandonment of {ts fight by the withdrawal of {ts appeal to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court while evidencing the fear of an adverse verdict left the railroad beaten by the decision from which the appeal was taken. But if pas- sengers are still to be refused transfers and forced into further litigation over a question already decided in their favor, the corporation {s to all intents and purposes nullifying the court's verdict and defeating the public victory already won. THE BURDEN OF WEALTH. “Avoid the delusion that the acquisition of wealth for its own sake is worth living for; when you get more wealth than you need the excess is a burden instead of a blessing.” . Thus Attorfcy-General Cunneen to the students of Manhattan Coilege; and as he was saying it J. P. Mor- ‘gan was arriving from Europe, his vacation cut short, to spend the remainder of his holiday disentangling the troubles into which his pet particular trusts have fallen during his absence, He is wanted for attendance on the Ship Trust, the common stock of which !s now quoted at 5 per cent. of its par value. He is required for diagnosis of the Stee! Trust, its common stock below 30. And for consultation in the Shipyard Trust, alleged by {ts bond- holders to be bankrupt and giving evidence that their allegation is a true bill. Obviously, Mr. Morgan can serve to point the moral of the Attorney-General's warning. A tipker follows the overly rich man wherever he Pus nis Newport cottage, his Riviera villa, the Privato ‘secretaries, stenographers, stock quotations, “the mar- ket” are with him always and necessarily so. Given a millionaire who had invested heavily a few years ago in the securities of the trusts Mr. Morgan has come to doc- tor and had since remained out of touch with Wall street let us fancy his state of mind on arriving in New York to-day and looking up the quotations of the stocks in question. The burden of wealth of the rich grows heavier, yet tha college graduate is willing to take his chances of succumbing to it in spite of commencement oratorical warnings. The Napoleon the Yale boys voted for as their favorite character was the Napoleon of Finance. TOO MUCH FOURTH OF JULY. In Finland, under the monarchical rule of the Czar, tke sale of guns, ammunition and explosives has been prohibited. Here in our free republic we permit their use with greater license by all who destre, not refusing the infant Just out of arms. Whatever “shooting iron” young America may prefer 1s his for the dealer's price, rifle or revolver or toy pistol. The cannon cracker is his, with its ear-rupturing deton- ation; the torpedo, in which dynamite sufficient to kill is lodged; pin wheels, roman candles, rockets, bengal lights, serpents, ‘‘nigger-chasers'’—there is no end to the Pyrotechnic apparatus with which he may rend and maim and make day and nght hideous with the nolse of his patriotism. It is a proud privilege of freedom the *blessings of which the Finland lad cannot even concetve. Our liberality to the small boy in the matter of fire- works grows annually greater. Some restraint is de- manded by tho yearly crop of casualties and of injuries ‘which grow correspondingly larger. Cannot the toy Pistol be suppressed? Cannot the explosion of crackers and torpedoes be limited to the Fourth and the continu- ous celebration from February into July put an end to? To express it mildiy, the firecracker habit has grown on the small boy to such an extent as to make him a muisance which should be abated except for the one day of independence. AN IDYL OF THE STUDIO. The public cannot fall to sympathize with the aged artist whose former model, the came with whom he read “Romeo and Juliet” in the studio, has sued him for back pay for services as “amanuensis." She who was once the painter's “petty Baby’ has been sordidly seeking compensation for those days of heart-to-heart commun- ings over Shakespeare when case! and palette were neg- lected for the study of more soulful things. It is suffl- eient to shatter our faith in feminine sentiment. ‘Miss Clark's letters give rare glimpses of those sweet, satisfying days when they met and wooed and read of Montague end Capulet loves even until the gray morn @imiled on the frowning night. ‘Then had this cruel court complainant affections and warm youthful blood, hd trust and confifence. Alas! for the disillusion that now turned her loye to hate! The serpent heart hid mers a flowering face is now revealed In all its venom. eff 4s a painful thing thus to see the sentiment of ith dispelled by the progress of years, the affections Mg as the fiesh waxes until the trusting heart is against the former object of adoration.

RS. BDITH WHARTON, the author wife of Edward R. Wharton, of Lenox, received $122,600 for “Landsend,'' her summer residence at Newport, which she recently sold to Eleanor T. Beekman, wife of R. Liv- Ingsicou Beekman, of New York. The consideration {s regarded as indicating @ rise in vajues in Newport real estate. ee Caamander Booth Tucker, of the Sal- vation Army, .says the project to raise $500,000 for the purpose of settling Jewish «migrants from Russia in the already established Russian community at Woodbine, N. J., is only tn a tentative stage. Mr. Tucker has just returned from Woodbine. He said that he found the Russian Jews there were wuccess- fully undertaking industrial and agri- cultural pursuits and he thought new- comers might profitably be established there, co 8 After resigning and subsequently with- drawing ‘iia resignation, Robert Hu ter, the head worker of the University Settlement, has decided to sever his connection with the Eldridge street houso and work along social Mnes on the east side independently. Hunter re- cently married the daughter of Anson Phelps Stokes, sr., and they intend on their return from the wedding trip in Europe to found a settlement of some sort near Corlears Hook Part. eee Oscar 8, Straus, of New York, will deliver the baccalaureate address at the commencement of the National Farm School, Doylestown, Pa., on Friday.

Loeb, of New York, gives one of the tour prizes for excellence, ) The father of Judge William B. Hurd was a famous dentist, When hts son took up law instead of following the Paterncl profession a friend remarked after hearing a specimen of the future Judge's cros#-examtnation: “There's nothing Ike heredity, extracts information painlessly and gets to the root of the matter while you wait. He'll be gold-filled one of these days.” Harry Thurston Peck, litterateur and Latin professor, was the theme of con- versation at a recent Columbia reunion, “LE wonder why a man of his dignity signs his name ‘Harry’ instead of ‘Henry, " mused one alumnus, “He probably knew,” replt “that If he remained ‘Henry’ he'd go through life cursed with the nickname ‘Hen-Peck. ———__— LETTERS, QUESTIONS, ANSWERS.

Made Cynical by Depressing Weather, He Talke of Summer Resorts. 66D =81NDs me of Galveston,” sald the Governor from Saint Lewis, as he stood gazing disconsolately out of his hotel window. “Why? Because it's 0 damp outside all the time that a man can scarcely drink enough to keep the interlor and exterior pressure at an equilibrium. You know the nearer you get to the sea the more you got to drink. That's why the men who live on Galveston Island @ foot or #0 above the sea are all big, strong fellows; they keep things balanced. And the women—of course they don't drink, and they can't stand the climate. The women have to skip out when summer comes, but a man can stick till cotton gets right where he wants it and he has the funds to buck one of your eastern summer resorts.” The Governor had to restore his equilibrium several times before he got in a mood for conversation. “Our folks out in Mizzoura don’t have to go away for the summer in spite of that Chicago libel on the temperature of Saint Lewis; but, sir, they've got the summer resort habit nearly as bad as you folks down East. Thousands and thousands of them go up to the Inkes and thousands come East, They fill hotel registers and landlords’ pocket- They leave thelr comfortable homes and the food their systems are accus+ tomed to and go to some dinky place where they have @ four-by-nine hedroom and ‘have to bathe in the wash basin, My pocket’s full of notes from friends who're eamping out along the coast, from Philadelphia to New Brunswick, beg- ging me to come sec them and telling all kind of les about the bathing, the ‘boating, the golf, the feed. But, my boy, I'm too old, too fond of just this sort of a place. When I go roughing it I'll put on my old clpthes, get out my guns and send a wire down to the Ozarks to a guide I know that ['m coming and I want him and his coon dogs for a week. Then I'll box up some bottles and some cans and I'll go and do the thing proper. Why, sir, what's the use of doing a thing by halves? If ‘| you want a spell of luxury, why, just register at this hotey, If you want a spell of comfort—plain, honest comfort, pack your grip and come out home with me. L rough it I'll send that wire and we'll go down tn Ozarks. I've got to that time of Hfe when I want just what I pay for and I won't stand to be wolfed. “Would you mind touching that bell? This rain’s got in my throat and I need some medicine from the bar, Y don’t know where they have finer weather, more bracing air and bluer sky than they have in New York in good times; bul when It comes round to a season like this and I have to keep Father Knickerbocker company ‘I'm glad that my an: cestors were Irish or I'd jump off the bridge.” , THE BIGGEST BOTTLE. In attempting to turn out a huge bottle to send to the St. Louls Exposition, the glass blowers of Alton, Til, have tumed out four glass bottles with a capacity of forty-five gallons each, which are believed to be the largest bottles ever blown. The largest type of bottle known commercially ts the car- boy, which holds twenty gallons. Alonzo Miller made the first big bottle, Other glass- blowers then strove to outdo him, and attempted to make a big bottle, without a mould, In order to give (t greater #ize. Valentine Relninger, Jesse Steelman and John Metz under- took the task, and with only a shaper to fashion the bot- toms, they blew vesrelx capable of holding forty-five gallons each, It was a task of one hour to make each bottle, ON THE EVENING WORLD PEDESTAL. * {bLusTRIOUS | G, EB.
