VOLUME 44\.i6c005 sisceeoess 18,204, THE FOOLISH ‘OMEN HUNTER.” H Becauee a portrait fell from its insecure nail and be-| cause a cat indulged in a little scale practice, the word “omen” {s nervously pagsod from mouth to mouth in) the White Ho ‘The “omen" has more consistent devotees than h: almost any other belief on earth. | The man who stroll dyertently under a ladder, or} breaks a mirror, or meets a cross-eyed fellow-citizen, is often miserable with apprehension for the res: of the day. . Masses of dense, ineradicable gloom are cast over happy dinner tables by the horrible discovery that thir- teen persons are present. The rapping of woad, the throwing cf sale over the right shoulder, elation at be- ing followed by a black cat—all these are daily, even hourly occurrences in the most progressive city of the world’s moet enlightened era. | The old French prolate’s maxim: “Bellet in super-| stition argues lack of belief in the justice of God,” is) still as worthy of attention as in the dark ages when} it was first promuigated. To-day, however, it might well be amended to read; “Belief in omens argues lack of common sense.” A NEW SOCIETY LIST. “Zociety people who come slumming to Coney Island, take grave chances,” says Capt. Dooley. He arrested| fonr in a rald and released them when he found the} names they gave in tho city directory. The chances these four took was that Capt. Dooley would look for! their names in Mrs. Astor's list of 150 or the greater Net of 440 in the Hempstead book or the Newport 4i-| rectory. { In common with the late Ward McAllister Capt. | Dooley believes that rociety is not a universal term, | that it does not cover the entire human family. He! differs with Mr. McAllister's dictum, as has Mrs. Astor, on the number of persons to be included under that| heading. He believes in a measure of qualifications, in evidence of membership. He requires continued resi- dence in one locality for a sufficient period to insure the insertion of the person's name in the book of fn-! habitents. Persons who have the moving habit, who filt from flat to flat, failing to attract the notice and regard of! directory name gatherers, must not go slumming In} Coney Island. Janitor-harried searchers for comfort without an airshoft, for homes without odors, blatant) cornets, rag-time pianos—the perpetual wanderers of the metropolis may visit Coney Island, birt they must not slurc. For them only the eroded beach, the loop} Fypeniechase, the animal shows, the frank-| fuitery and the merry-go-rounds, Only those the di-/ rpetory of the city vouches for may go the whole gait! ond ee sye the clutches of Capt. Dooley. CAN'T CONVICT A WOMAN ? “Cun's conviet a woman in Burlington County,” said the prosecutor of Mrs, Phares when the jufy had found her net guilty under the indictment charging that she Isuned her hustend. Isn't that slander? Is there pry county where a woman cannot be convicted of} murder when the atrocious crime {s proved? Even in| Virginia, in Kentucky, where chivalry {s carried almost| f. the limit of absurdity, where the simple name of women is an excuse for anything savo the gross eziines, conviction of a poisoner would follow sure proof. ‘The trouble in Burlington County seems to be that ‘Woman was put on trial who should not have been harged with the crime of murder. Her confessed of- } ases against her husband were erroneously presumed to * proof of a greater crime. These offenses did not need io bs proved; they were freely confessed and did} nt even furnish a motive for murder. The prosecutor should not blame the people of his county because his, judgment was poor, because he set the machinery of the l2zw to work on insufficient provocation. Had he proved that Mrs. Phares poisoned her husband the ‘woman would have been sent to the penitentiary, for ‘no community is chivalrously mad enough to grant| freedom to a flend skirted or trousered. THE LUCKLESS JANITOR. When Janitress Edwards braved death in the flames to save three little lives she not only performed an act of heroism but also scored a point in favor of that much- abused class called (and oftener miscalled) the Janitor, The comic paper, the amateur humorist, the chronic Kicker have all found tn the janitor a common butt for ridicule, wit and ill-temper. Too often the janitor deserves the gibes and wrath he provokes. He ts sometimes inefficient, sometimes lazy, often surly. But how many men in other walks of life would do better under the same conditions? If you were stationed in the basement of an apartment-house, with thirty families above you, each of which held you accountable for every mishap to provisions, garbage, &c., each of which blamed you for the vagaries of al cranky furnace and the condition of the sidewalk, each | of which expected you to attend to its wants in pref-| erence to those of the other tenants, and who used you| as a buffer between itself and the landlord, how long, would you keep your temper? How few mistakes would you make? The janitor is only human, not regard him as human? THE FIRECRACKER FEST. mm the superstitions of many peoples, notably the Chinese, it is held that we are surrounded by imps of evil disposition, bad tempered, spiteful intelligences that must be propitiated or driven away. In all the erises of life they must be regarded. If you are boast- ful remember the evil spirits and assure them that you @id not mean what you said. If you are joyous, re- ~member the imps who wish you evil and convince them But he is human. Why | | | | heavy. If you are unhappy give a wealth of bright- Olored, burning paper to the powers that are oppress- you and beg that your burden may be l#ghtened. ©) Am exorcising Chinese imps the firecracker 1s con- dered very efficacious.

SCHWAB help worthy young men. A protege of Andrew Carnegie, he has gather- ed bout him several able youngsters. There Is one In particular, now a cesi= dent of New York. His name ts Benner. His age Js thirty-two. Schwab, Carnegie & Co, have made him president of a corporation at a salary of $25,000 a year, and it {# believed that he fs a cheap man at that price. The New York millionaire's yacht ex penses would stagger a Monte Cristo. The Mg swift flyers of Morgan, Gould, Goe- let, Vanderbilt and Flint are palace of luxury. It Js safd that any one of them costs $1,00) a day when in commis- @ion, and it costs near a million to build one. It may be remembered that the Inte Pierre Lorillard claimed that “a gentleman needed $1,000 a day and his yacht money'—so that Mr. Lorll- lard’s gentleman would need about $2,000 a day to keep him going. But aside from those show-palaces, there are many comfortable boats af- fected by New Yorkers of ample meana and some lelsure, which are equally de lightful without so much outlay and display. Among these, an ideal one is “The Planet," the auxiliary schooner- yacht of Dr, Ambrose L. Ranney, the neurologist. The yacht {s now lying and thither the doctor goes at the ‘close of each busy day, Joins his wife and family who are spending the summer on board, with maybe an invited guest or two, ‘and enjoys the evening and night amid the salt breezes of tne bay. ‘The yacht is lw) feet long with a “4-foot beam, and 4 speed under power alone of elght knots an hour.

Morse, President of the New York Shipbuilding Com- pany, was one day visited by a man of questionable repute, who wished to dov- row money wherewith to launch a questionable enterprise. Mr, Morse gav some polite excuse for his unwillingness 4o lend, and the mag declared that he regarded this excuse as somewhat fishy Mr. Mors: said: “Let me tell you a little story, Once bor and sald: “ ‘Lend me your rope.’ “"'Tcan’t,' sald the netghbor. “Wily can't you?" ‘Because I want to use the rope my- welt’ ‘'What do you want to do with it?’ the borrower persisted, “‘T want to ‘tle up five cubie feet of er with it,” was the reply. “How on earth,’ the other sneered, ‘can you tle up water with a rope?’ .

I thought it was all off. 2 “The other day four large men with brows like closed cellar doors invaded my apartment and began to do things to it. I thought at first that they had been employed to tear down buildings to make way for the new Pennsylvania station and had got twisted on the location of their Job, but the business manager said they came from the storage warehouse. I learned then that we were going to store our goods and live out where we could see water. “I delayed going down there as long’ as I could, but: finally I started.
