gees /SSWEDNESDAY EVENING, = MAY 11, 1904, ishing Company, No. 63 to. Park Now, New York. Entered at tho Post-OMice @t New York as Second-Class Mail Matter. — VOLUME 44 Leads All the Rest. }During January, February, March and April of th’s year The Evening World carried 5087 columns of paid cis- play advertising. NO. 15,604. No other New York paper equalled this showing. ‘The increase over The Evening World's own record for the corresponding four.months of 1903 was 1270, olurts—more than twice the gain made by any ether paper. THE TRUE ACCOMPLICES. Mr. Clowry, the President of the Western Union, has left the Community breathless with astonishment at his sublime effrontery. He has suggested without the flutter of an eyelid that if Police Commissioner McAdoo would give him the names and addresses of all the pool-rooms known to the police he would sever his company’s telegraphic connections with them. Suppose Mr. Clowry were engaged in manufactur- ing and selling sectional “jimmies” to burglars, along with plans of houses easy to break into, Suppose Mr. Clowry proposed to Commissioner Mc- Adoo that the police should inform him on what houses they suspected that his confederates would next oper- ate. Suppose Mr. Clowry offered, if this information were given him, sternly to refuse to sell his burglars the ‘fimmies” with which to break into those particular houses. If the police were imbecile enough to give him the information he desired, is it likely that they would be able to catch their burzlars at any of the suspected addresses? All this seems to have struck Commissioner McAdoo quite forcibly, for he answers: dt 1 sent him such a list to-day, what guarantee have I @hat some emp.oyeo of the company, loyal to the Interests Of the patrons of his racing department, would not divulge the information in advance of any action? The instruments would be at once removed and tho place of business changed; for these gentlemen are always prepared for fight. It is probable that Mr. Clowry will not enjoy being spictured as the confederate of a burglar, even hypo- theticafly. But the more the affairs of his company are aired athe less fragrant they become. It was at first hoped that the Western Union was the innocent dupe of the criminal pool-rooms, ~~ Next it was understood that the Western Union was the deliberate accomplice of criminal pool-rooms. But now it appears that in reality it is the pool- rooms which are only the accomplices of the criminal Western Union. It is the Western Union which obtains the informa- stion for illegal use. It is the Western Union which criminally transmits * this illegal information. It is the Western Union: which feloniously receives this illegal information at the other ends of the wires in the pool-rooms themselves, It permits the little men who nominally run the _Pool-rooms to do the work of chalking up the names uof horses on a blackboard, of taking in bets, of paying eout winnings and of incurring all the risks of arrest, “ahd. for these privileges it makes them pay $5,000,000 a year! But as between the little felons who go through the motions of running pool-rooms and the big felon that devises, organizes and executes the collection, the trans- ! mission and the raceipt of the indispensable material for this particular form of felony, there can be little doubt as to which is the guilty principal and which the culpable confederates. if we only knew upon what terms the Ru: “privately floated’ in Paris, they might not ore favorable than Japan's after all, | i n loan was em #0 much ‘*A CURFEW FOR GIRLS." The Rev. Mr. Leach, of Chicago, wants curfew to ring ; to-night, and every night, for girls. Otherwise—but “Masten to the trouble-finder: Club women are following more and more after the men.

It should not be forgotten by persons suf- fering from so-cilled hereditary dis- eases which they fear must bar them} from marriage that In the opinion oft the most advanced physicians even con- sumption, the great white scourke of tho human r jx wot a direct inhertt- ance from paront to child, but is con- tracted through contagion after birth. The danger in the particular malady, which forms tho bast of the present inquiry, seems ;to be rather tn the monrace of sudtoa ceath, and the fear the husband would always lve of 1os- | ing his wife at any mament, But if he in ready to take this ehi girl loves him or can be mady him, thero does not seem to reasoh why they should nov marry. The advice of any person other than a physiciar Is, however, of small value to them, and should not be followed without medical coufirmation. It {9 a tragte thing for any woman, from what cause soever, to resolve that she will never marry, For the resolu don mouns a dife of utter, dreary 1 mel. ness and vain regrots, At twenty a girl may have many ad- mirers, many things to amuse her, many Interests born of her fresh youth- fulness and the admiration it creates, She may tell herself that for reasons, gcod or insuficlent, ag the case may be, he will never marry, and yet be very happy. At twenty-five even sho may not feel the shadow of inevitable lone- Mneas that begins to hover over her life. But at thirty, when she faces the nar- rowing vista of old maldenhood, with only her family interests and perhaps the placid, commonplace devotion of a few survivors of her gld troup of ewains, whowg admiration has degenerated into n habit, about her, she will feel the heavy hand of rolitude upon her—and it will be very heavy, and will grow heav- fer every day. Whatever may be a woman's individual love of freedom, she never fails to realize that married women have generally a larger share of happiness in their lives than single women, and also @ greater portion of sorrow, Yet it really seems sometimes as if Fate allawed about the same measure of joy to every life, and that tho dif- ference is due to the fact that some of us become greedy and take it all at once and call # happiness, and others more prudent spread tt very thm in order to make It last and cail {t content—and Vike, children) who linger over _ the {ff some dalnty after tho more Impulsive have devoured theirs at a gulp, enjoy ie the ‘moro because the others havens any, To the class of those who spread their happiness thin belong the women who remain old maids, end. knowing nothing ff of the joys of married life, spare them- selves th rrows, But however thin it 1s spread the hap- pincss Inevitably iver out in the end, | and, unlike thelr married. sisters, they: have no radiant. memories, no tender! regrets with which to plece out -their| lives, and no tender, childish faces In, which thelr lost Joys ‘Ivo again, ———_- Englishmen who aro wedded to thelr cup of tea are rejotcing in the Invention of an automatic teapot.

About a year ago two big firms in the Wall street dis- trict were bounced from the Consolidated Exchange to loud and discordant hurry music. They are doing busi- ness to-day in the same old stands, advertising for suck- ers in New York and country newspapers, and the guys that are running them can be seen any pleasant day shooting skiddoo wagons through the park or pushing fast horses on the Speedway. “The game of the Wall street sucker cultivators, who work behind a Consolidated or Stock xchange blind, makes the gold-brick and green-goods enterprises look like philanthropy. It is a sure-thing graft, and the peo- ple who go against it have no chance to realize on a come-back. The green-goods man or the gold-brick operator runs a chance of getting sloughed, and if the victim gets wise and makes a holler there is always @ look-in at the fall money, but the Wall street broker don't stack away any fall money. All that he gets his hooks on is his, and the business is so proved up by wise legal sharps who make a business of advising men how to break the law without getting hurt In the process that the Wall street thief figures on the business stage as @ worker in the legit. “They have grafters on the Stock Exchange just as well as on the Consolidated, but you hear less about them. The Stock Exchange don’t expel a man who gets canght with the goods. The Board of Governors calls him up and gives him a hunch to sell his seat. Then the newspapers say that the veteran stock broker Mr, I. Hoggenhelmer has decided to sell his seat on the ex- change and retire from business. Nevertheless Mr. 1, Hoggenheimer continues to sit in the game, doing hig work through somebody on the Exchange that the Board of Governors hasn't got wise to.” ! “It's a sweet proposition all right,’ commented the Cigar Store Man. a It sure {s," said the Man Higher Up, “and the public \ ized and d Lite just the same if the outcasts organ Ee etised as ‘The Association of Expelled Members ot the New York Stock and Consolidated Exchanges.’ Fables, Far, Far trom Gay. gt No. 6—The Modern Martyr. o G Rarely Histte: was once a Man who had the Great but ‘Appreciated Good Fortune to be Born Poor. At first he was too Young to “Understand, and Kicked at Goat's milk and a ‘Trundle bed. But Education and Ex- perience changed all that.

Then it did him Good to look at his cwn Skin and Bones, For Honest Labor and the Blessings of Want had him Trained to such a Thread he, knew he could slip ‘Through at the First Jab.
