The police of Manhattan on Thursday made eight ar-| ‘gests for violation of the Bailey Automobile law. Sev- fo register the vehicle and to attach to :t the Initials of | ‘@o owner's name. The others were for the more seri- ous offense of disregarding the provisions against exces- ‘give speed. ‘eral of the arrests were on the technical charge of failure | : rd g peers es Comparison of notes at the station-house brought ‘put the customary difference of opinion regarding the! Tate of speed at which the automobiles were being} (Pushed when halted. One indignant chauffeur was posi-| ‘ive that his machine was geared to make only twelve| “niles an hour, though the policeman timed it at twenty. | “Millionaire Trask's auto was geared, the chauffeur in- ‘wisted, to only seven and one-half miles; the policeman| ‘Teported it as proceeding at eighteen. Another low- geared machine was making twenty miles an hour by| the officer's watch. The truth is mighty and will prevail, ‘but it becomes peculiarly elastic and flexible in auto- ‘mobile court cases, Tais continued police watchfulness of fast-flying auto- _Mobilists is gratifying. It is observable that though the , Mumber of self-propelling vehicles increases the death- [ate appears to diminish, a result presumably due to ‘Ancreased facility on the chauffeur's part in handling his machine. His automobile is now under fuller control and sensitive to his touch to a degree hardly possible {of realization by those who have not observed its quick response to brake or guiding lever in emergencies. It ‘may also be said to the chauffeur's credit, without miti- gation of his responsibility, that he is ordinarily more alert to danger than the driver of horses. + If his growing expertness could be accompanied by 58 correspoading diminution of his speed madness the ‘}gutomobile peril would be lessened.

At this season of the year the amateur athlete is visible numerously in public in a state of semi-nudity. Looking at him from long range, as in a boat or on the einder path, we excuse the exhibition of nakedness; but | at close quarters the sight is offensive to the fastidious > . and an affront to feminine modesty. Somehow the ath- _ #Ietic youth seems more pleasing to look upon in marble and bronze than in the puris naturalibus of real life. The Apolio-like characteristics sufficient to condone the Daring of arms and legs and hirsute chests are rather Tare and the custom is one to be honored more in the breach than in the observance, ‘*- One part of the city where the half-clad «athlete is too much tn evidence at present is along the ‘West Drive in Central Park, between the bridle path ; and the wall. Here just before dusk youths in various » forms of athletic undress may be seen dashing along like * young Satyre. From Seventy-seventh street to Ninety- © &fth they have pre-empted the path for a training track, ~ Gnd up and down it they chase half-clad. ¢ Very likely the immodesty of these boys is not {nten- onal; the athletic eye, like the artistic, thinks lightly of sights which embarrass more conventional members of society. But at least it is unbecoming and should be put a stop to. ALL THE COMFORTS. * The town's biggest hotel is soon to have a theatre Ri under its roof, with a stage and auditorium of ample i , Capacity. To such an extent has the development of the i . ‘palatial hostelry extended. “iy A guest at a hotel of the first class is now provided a mot only with all the comforts of home and with lux- a uries unobtainable there, but with facilities for the es transaction of business and for amusement of varied || _ @eacription. He is in touch with Wall street and, in- i " Geed, with the entire world of affairs; there is a bank &nd trust company at his elbow, a stock broker at his Service to execute orders, a ticker, if he desires, in his @wn room. From the hour of rolls and coffee to the _ Moment of the last “nightcap” the guest has only to ask for it to have almost any want supplied, and the range ‘et the pleasures provided reaches from a musicale in the morning to an art display or ball or concert or theatrical performance in the evening. ~ New York in the past has developed many “hotel *thermits.” Those of the present time are enticed to en- ‘ter « round of social gayety and pleasure belying their “HASTE AND INACCURACY. ‘ ‘Am engrossing clerk for the Nebraska Legislature ‘emitted @ comma from a statute dealing with capital @unishment and a young man convicted of mumer will ® © @ TOLD ABOUT NEW YORKERS. LVORD COOLEY, who succeeds A Civil = Service §= Commissioner Foulke, became acquainted with President Roosevelt when the latter was Police Commissioner of New York and Mr. Cooley was in Columbia Law School, but ‘was taking an active inter- est in social settlement work in the lower part of New York City, and had occasion to see Police Commissioner Roosevelt drequently in the interest of that work. In 1900 and ‘01 he was in the New York Legislature, representing the f—' Second Assembly Nistrict of Westches- ter County, That was at a time when Gov. Roosevelt was at Al- bany and there the two again came in contact. Recently, when he received his appointment from President Roose- velt, it came to him as a complete sur- prise, as he had no idea that he was being considered in that connection. 2 0« 6 “New York is surely growing more coamopolitan every day," observed W.

Mrs. Davenant followed imto the room. A fire was burning in the old-fashioned grate. Stephen drew a chair near to the welcome blaze and led Una to It.

Come, drink some of this," and he put a gias of hot spirit and water into her hand, Una shook her head. ‘Thanks; I could not,” she sald, eim- ply.
