Such citations ~ Ould’ be extended. They contrast vividly with the feminine habit once supposed to be the expression of a sex’ trait of fainting at every opportunity, and being on the. alert for opportunities. Bearing upon this matier Is the instance of a male prisoner who fainted in court {n 4 fashion that formerly would have been ladylike. } Perhaps the time is approaching when man will be the One to keel over, limp and helpless, and woman, dash- ingoto the rescue, carry him in strong arms to safety, ra A GRATEFUL PATIENT’S-GIFT. . _ *f'The Evening World of Saturday there was told briefly the history of Roosevelt Hospital, the splendid {niititation whose restoration to its full measure of use- fulness depends upon the prompt addition of at least $400,000 to its’ endownient fund. e story of the hospital was interesting. It was followed by a news paragraph which was Inspiring. First aid to the hospital in {ts hour of financial emer- geficy was recorded in the form of a $26 gift from a man of modest circumstances who has been twice a patient @t the Institution. “That is the kind of spirit I like to see,” sald Supt. , Lathrop, speaking of this donor and his gift. it It is the spirit The Evening World seeks to rouse on every hand by pointing out that the hospital situation Appeals not to the rich alone, not to the poor slone, but to a Whole public which {s generously cared for With no distinction of age, race or bank account.

The end 4n view is @ prevalling single fare for a ride from any Point to any other point within the closely connected boroughs. Unless this result shall follow the gradual development of the system of East River bridges, the multiplication of interborough links will leave atill a Unk: nilssing in the local transit chain, ‘It is not that the people are “out for all they can made in breadth, comfort and economy of service some large share of that full return which no rallway has as use of public streets and bridges. MORE PAY FOR THE LETTER CARRIERS. ‘The letter carriers of the country are asking for more pay: | There is everything to favor their request. They are working for salaries fixed a quarter of a century ego and never readjusted to meet changed conditions of living. In New York, mail carriers work often sixteen hours @ dey, When sick they receive no pay. They have no Prospect of a long-servico pension before them, Con- trast these conditions with those of the firemen and poliée, who get $400 9 year more than the carriers’ Average pay, whose wages go on through spells of sick- ness and who are pensioned after twenty years.
