Matrict-Attorney Jerome; his contingent fund crip- pled by deficits amd rendered inadequate for continuing “his campaign against vice, is to have Mr. Rockefeller’s - gupport, it is said, as backer. The of] millionaire will \ stand ready to vrovirle the sinews of war when those apptopriated by the county fail. ‘The city has so long relied on volunteer ald—anti-vice focietics, 2ocieties for the prevention of cruelty and ~ others of like kind—to assist it in maintaining law and vt ‘order, that the assumption of such functions by a private © eitizen wili excite litle remark. Yet a condition of i ai municipal affairs In which a millionaire is louked to to _ furnish the funds for suppressing gambling-houses and pool-rooms must be regarded as unique. But what an equipment for a crusade Mr, Rockefel- Jer's millions would provide! A Jacobs with a Standard Oi! check in his pocket could find his way to Mr. Canfield’s exclusive tables with- out hindrance. Medieaval bronze doors would fly open at his knock and the entree of every Tenderloin resort ‘woul be his for the asking. The evidence that would go up to the Court of Appeals for final disposition would be sufficiently ample to convict the entire colony of gamblers.

Flossie saw an unworthy mother bargaining in the room of a raloon for the sale of her young daugh- tor Into sin, She interposed to rescue the little girl, -fongh twith the men there who sought to restrain her, and after asking assistance jn vain from the policeman a post, dragged her young charge £0 the police station and delivered her to the officers for safe keeping. “I ee take my hat off to you,” said the police sergeant to Mlos- Ble, and 90 do we all. The womanhood which prompted _ the deed and gave her the strength of purpose to carry > ont her resolution at tho risk of exposing the career she > ‘was seeking to forget was of the highest and noblest type. ‘Now at the; timo this good deed was occurring a boy of sixteen was boasting of his prowess in ruining an in- ocent girl of the same age by the delusion of an as- “sumed marriage. He had lured hor to a saloon, induced her to drink, compromised her and deserted her. When taken to task for his conduct he sald: “Aw—say, there ain't any trouble abuut this. It's just something about re ‘The drama of the daily news aftords few contrasts tn character so vivid and striking as these. Flossie, like Mr. Hay's hero, “warnt no saint,” but sne has lived to make the world tetter for her presence. ' DRAMATIC “ ATMOSPHERE." ‘When Shakespeare wrote he sat down with a quiver of quill pens, a supply of paper and a bottle of ink at a table, sometimes a tap-room table, and then, as he has himself told us, “the poet’s eye in a fine frenzy rolling doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven. > And as imagination bodies forth the forms of things ~ unkown the poet’s pen turns them to shapes and gives ~ \go airy nothings a local habitation and a name.” It was thus that he saw Henry V. driving the French before him at Agincourt and Richard III. clamoring for a horse on Bosworth ficld. © €. How much dramatic authorship has improved o> the old models 1s indicated by the Journey of the most pro- lific contemporary American playwright to Tarrytown to got correct “local color” and “atmospnere” for an André drama. Steaming into town in a red automo- bile the dramatist proceeded to the André monument and » embraced it, crossed the river to Tappan in a rowboat as ‘the ill-fated Engiish major had crossed a century and more before him, sniffed a tinal scent of atmosphere at the’old house where André was imprisoned and returned to the city primed and prepared to produce a romantic jutionary drama of great realistic superiority. ‘It is by this fidelity to facts that the modern dramatic puthor shows the progress his art has made with the | adivance of civilization and reconciles the play-goer to pox-office prices and speculators’ commissions. ' THE DEER SLAYERS. The woods and runways of Long Island were bright ‘with the burnished steel of a thousand rifles on Wednes- day and by the time the sun sank to rest eighty deer had yielded up their lives as a tribute to sport. It was the first day of the open season. As this record was not marred by a single report of a hunter shot for a deer the standard of sportsmanship must be regarded as higher on Long Island than elsewhere in the East—than in Sulll- van County, for example, where on Wednesday near Hurleyville a deer sayer was himsef slain by this fatal ‘mistake, \ The frequency of this form of fatality In Maine and the Adirondacks has attached a stigma of discredit to the _ Woodcraftemanship of the men wha invade the game lands annually. Their hair-trigger marksmanship may be ' reproach, as the invariably fatal outcome of such errors tends to prove, But the hasty judgment and in- ®couracy of eye which entail these tragic consequences Bre properly looked upon as a subject of reproach. My In Maine the license imposed on sportsmen has helped bO weed out the inexperienced hunter. But not until a ‘preliniinary examination for fitness to handle a gun is Peouired will there be a detinite reduction of these de- ‘plorable “accidents.

You have guessed the secret from the heading, surely, aad already be- Rt ing to wonder why the bus love insuranon (patent applied for) hi neer etruck you usy being practical and profitable. Newspaper offices are daily flooded with letters from sweethearts who want to lose or regain the loved one, from meh who want to win back their wives, from wives who seek to rekindle the sparkle of courtship days in the eyes of a husband of ten years. ‘Their woes are genuine, and till the great idea of love insurance came into being they were without remedy. Few persons nowadays are so im- provident as (0 neglect the various kinds of insurance by which damages to their houses, merchandise or health may be covered. Lafe insurance, fire insurance, accl dent insurance number their beneficiar- fos by millions. Yet no one nitherto| has thought of insuring love, which in its ordinary course is more exposed to! accidents and consuming fires than the more tanglole possessions of lite and property. { What « comfort it would be to a, young bride if, on the duy of the wed-, (ing, her. newly made husband should , turn over to her w policy in the Mutual Love Insurance Company., lnc., guar-| anteeing the payment of $10,000 on the Joss of his affecuion and proportionate smaller sums for any diminution of ardor, ‘v. would be no longer any neces-| ¢ sity for an interstate divorce law. ‘Ine | great question of alimony would be| solved.

But methods similar to those in use by ordinary companies would) meet this difficulty, | Before guaranteeing a man's or wo- man's affections a company would nat- urally have to determine that they were in a fair state of health at the time the policy was taken out. Expert judges of | human nature would ve employed to in- spect applicants and “size up" the prob- able duration of their love. The greatest difficulty would be in guarding the company againat imposl- Uon by those women who after a few yeurs would prefer a paid-up policy for $10,000 to the matrimonial bliss tt was take out to insure and so deliberately kil thelr husband's affection, and against collusion between husband and wife every time there was a stringency in the money market, Some of the Best Jokes of the Day.

If you didn’t you never rode on a Long Island train.

The Long Isiand deer fs not a will animal. It is demestic. Lets of them are houae- broken and sleep behind the kitchen stove.
