In the cases of 2,841 sentence was suspended or H the little culprit paroled; only 1,527 were committed to institutions. | By this showing the number of incorrigible among) + New York children is gratifyingly small.

Well, lawbreaking must be suppressed, and the mimic war, if less spectacnlar than that off the Maine toast, was cqually “good for the service.” NEWPORT NOT DECLINING. Newport, according to Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, is not Meclining; the trouble is that it has “been invaded by the newly rich.” The “higher classes are still there in greater numbers than ever.” ‘The nation, which looks to society's summer home for amusement, will heave a sigh of relief. If the newly tich alone were to rule Newport our supply of social sensations would be cut short. We can never feel con- fident thet a railroad millionaire will invite a monkey to dinner or expect tho wife of a coal king or a wheat magnate to give a freak ball with dancers representing e@quashes and pumpkins. Your new Croesus is too con- eervative; too many of the homely virtues remain for film to make a show of himself.

In football it 1s different. There are twenty-two youths lined up and each one of them has got his route mapped to the section of the anatomy of his opponent most expedi!- tiously damaged. You never saw a riot in which they carried off man after man insensible, and you never saw a real gingery football game in which they didn't. “The boy with the high brow, and the eye-glasses, and the aspirations, who packed his trunk with books and hiked off to college a couple of years ago is like a bicycle deck joker in a pack of Spanish monte cards on the campus these days.

THE PRICE OF A DUKE. Miss Goelet {s said to have paid $2,000,000 for her duke, Miss Moeckel, the Brooklyn department-store salesgirl, gets her Italian count for nothing beyond a dowry of personal charms. Values are as variable in the market for titles as in the auction room. Is the price of $2,000,000 too dear for a duke? It Is gaid to be by Newport authorities who can appraise titles as a jeweller can set the value on diamonds and ‘who admit his grace of Roxburghe is a good fellow as dukes go. By the law of supply and demand it would ®eem not to be too high. The number of dukes is Iim- fted. The crop of eligible millionaire girls grows an- nually Jarger. They spring up in the sage brush of the West, in the mining camp and in the wheat pit. A Chiindred millionaires came into being in a day when =the ‘Steel Trust was incorporated.
