WHURSBRY EVENING, JULY 2, 1903, ery cal - Aiblished by the Press Publishing Company, No. 83 to @ Park Row, New York. Entered at the Post-OfMflce at New York as Second-Class Mali Matter. “VOLUME 44...c0.505 sssesssssesesNO, 16,200, KEEP COOL. The long-deferred summer weather, redolent of wilt- 4 collars, thirst and irritability, is moving on New York. The man of wealth Is rushing his family to mountains or seaside, and the “million” are prepar- ing to swelter in town. ‘ Now, fully two-thirds of the unspeakable discom- fort of hot spells can be averted by the exercise of a Little sanity. In the first place, the “long, ‘‘cooling” drink, to which the perspiring Gothamite turns for surcease, is about the most heating commodity in the market. The man who rushes frantically for his morning car too, in such weather, is inflicting unnecessary self-tor- ture, Five minutee’ earlier start would enable him to walk slowly and on the shady side of the streot, ar- riving at the “L" with a dry brow and undamaged col- lar. Avoidance of unnecessary haste, abstinence from highly carbenized foods and from liquor, and a resolve to regard the weather philosophically would avert many @ sunstroke, prevent many a quarrel and serve as verl- table balm fr threadbare nerves. Above ull, remember others are as uncomfortable as yourself. Try to alleviate, not to augment, their misery. THE ELASTIC VOCABULARY. If it be true that happenings to which they were op- _ posed in life cause the departed to “turn over in their graves,” then a certain crabbed lexicograpner of Fleet street must be performing a private “loop the loop” all by himself nowadays. His latest revolution 1s due to the coining of the word “telechirograph.” Behind this ew product stretch a bewildering vista of like nouns: “Pantecinicon,” “cinematograph," “muchwhere,” “vero- scope,” “electrothanatize,” and a host of others. New inventions, new names. The world has plodded many a mile forward since the day when Dr. Johnson congratulated timself and it that he had corralled every word in the language into the compass of one diction- ary. Some of the new words have slipped unnoticed {nto our spesch. Others entered after a flerce struggle. “English purists fought bitterly against the admission Jof the now popular term, “strenuous.” As an annex to the new structure of invention, we are building a new vocabulary. Johnson, were he still living, would have yearly increasing diMculty in keep- ing his dictionary abreast of the march of progress. THE ESCAPADE” MARRIAGE. A school prank has been followed by the wedding of a seventeensyear-old girl ito a Harvard football giant. To say that married life, thus begun, will not turn out well, is premature. But the young couple have certainJy made a bad start in that long life race wherein mutual respect, esteem, friendship and stead- fastness of purpose are all needed to clear the count- Jess obstacles and pitfalls which strew the track. The line of divorce suits pursuant on the “dare” '™ .marriage, the “escapade” wedding and similar freak ‘unions, stretches away to Infinity. Marriage, accord- ing to the Rubric, !s “an honorable estate, not to be en- tered on lightly.” Not only from religious stand- point, but because a passing whim, fancy or prank is poor gquipment for a journey wherein constant ob- servance of the maxim, “bear and forbear,” is the only safe guide. True, divorce affords a convenient “stop- ping-off place” for those who Weary of the trip. But true marriage is “until death us do part.” Not until Mivorce us do release.” THE DISHONEST BELLBOY. Once more a bellboy is charged with theft, The list af thieving bellboys bas grown unduly long in the past year. The fanlt lies largely with the practice, not with @e boy. The average lad of the same age finds work ‘fm an office.whero be is taught to regard integrity, dili- | @ence.and strict probity as the requisites of business success. The bellboy, on the contrary, et the formative period et his mind, weoetves lfberal tips, is sent mith large @uma of money to pool-rooms, acts as intermediary be- ween the “broke” woman poker-player and the pawn- ef Miching portions of the money with which he is in- trusted are many. Jewalry is left unguarded in rooms ah to which he has easy access. ' Small womter that the boy of naturally weak char- acter is sometimes inclined to regard theft as a pecca- Gillo rather than a crime! THE MAGNET AND THE CHICAGOAN. Prof. Whitney, of Chicago, who thinks he has dis- covered a sailless sea of electricity in the empyrean, Droposes to fire a spherical magnet thirty miles into the firmament from a huge gun aimed vertically on the top of Pike's Peak. Thirty miles of wire will be attached to tho magnet, not for the purpose of preventing it from colliding with the moon or to save it from being lost, but as a course down which the joyful electricity can leap and romp from the sky to the retail shop in which Prof, Whitney and his business associates will sell it to the public at so much per volt. The funniest thing about this experiment is not that Prof. Whitney is going to fire his magnet into the alr, Dut that anybody who has authority in the matter has eons concerning thelr extermination, In com- mi with the head of the Philadelphia Health Depart- it, he believes that files have no value as scavengers, that, like rats and mosquitoes, they ae active ene- the human race, spreading a variety of dirt dis- # and making epidemics possible.

When the chauffeur of Henry Munro, son of the publisher of that name, was arraigned, charged with speeding, Mr. Munro de- clared that the machine was running at @ speed of not more than seven miles an hour. The policeman said it was twenty- five, and the chauffeur was held. A chauffeur employed by John 6. Baker similarly held. s 8 6 F.

It had been snowing ft- fully during the day, and tho flakes were atill lazily pirouct- Ung in the air, Tho clubmen were interested, It was not for any special love af the beauty of the feathery eloment nor sentiment as to its Yuletide appearance that moved the hearts of the company. The potent fact was toat for years Capt, Howard had offered a prize of a magnum “f champagne to the first man who should reach his foadhouse cach season on runners. It was a seductive prize: ‘those who would have scorned a money reward were delighted if they could bring back the great bottle of wine to the club and make merny cver {ts outpouring. When Hamiiton returned that night to the Attawam he found that 1 slelghs laden with his cronies had just arrived {rom “Howard's.” The singling of bells, the neign- Ing of horses, the shouts of stable boys, the peals of laughter, the snatches of song, the outflaring of lght from every wins dow in the cluti-hous—all gave promise of a notable of it."
