AN AID TO OPTIMISM, "" In the news of yesterday appears the story of a young clerk who happened to meet at lunch an old man unknown to him save by the nickname of ‘“Cap.”’| He was kind to the old fellow with that undesign- Ing kindness which cynics rank among the lost arts. His chance acquaintance died and left him $21,0C0. A story like this comes as a perfumed breath of air tmid an acrid atmosphere of selfish thoughts and Pordid deeds, "It comes as a reproof to those pessimists who claim Mhat the doing of a kind act is but the imposing of a useful obligation, and that gratitude for it is but “the expectations of further favors to come.” It shows that the small class who furnish our daily Rews of greed, and hardness, of bitterness, and lack of tharity, of self-idolatry and hatred of mankind, are but an active atom of humanity, diverting notice from the vast majority whose kindly thoughts are the necessities, whose kindly deeds the luxuries, of life. gpople who bought it, “highly recommended,” above 36. time sharply calls attention to the reckless manner in which the traffic of this company {s managed.

Gallty negligence somewhere; but that should not @ovd the memory of the fatal accident last week, due $m all probability to the parsimony of the company in Bot putting two men in the bow. The Railroad Commission reports that the elevated @hould adopt an automatic device which, when the motormau’s grasp on the controller fails, would shut off the power and apply the brake. ‘The occasion for such a device comes not seldom But a little while ago a ferry engineer fell dead, and {his boat went crashing against the plier.

I say this in all due respect to Police Commis- sioner McAdoo and to his fidelity and patience in ‘his duties. Hoe,is handicapped by conditions long prevailing within the Police force. Dr. Parkhurst is mistaken. The conditions by which Commissioner McAdoo is handicapped are conditions ;long prevailing, not within the police but witfiln humanity, conditions which good and wise men may Plan to regujate and minimize, but which only vision- ries can hope to suppress. In a olty of over 3,000,000 people ft ts inevitable that Bere should be many thousands with vicious tenden- Wes, and that those vicious tendencies should be \etered to by vicious persons. ‘This is @ fact which may be deplored but cannot be prevented. Therefore, so long as vice ts allowed to come in pontact only with that vicious minority which is de-' ‘Mberately seeking it and {s hound by hook or crook to Qnd it, so long as it is kept from thrusting itself upon the virtuous majority which hates {t and endeavors to void it, just so Jong our city is In a normally moral tondition, which will not be improved and may readily Be injured by any extra activities of even the best Meaning reformers. “They're after me." says John Doe in the words of a Sweet old song, “For I'm the individual they require.” THE POOL-ROOMS ONCE MORE. ‘The Executive Committee of the Western Union felegraph Company, Messrs.

In a few days the ocean will be warm enough to surround us with comfort The Coney Island boats are all ready to start and the Hudson River boats are mak- ing regular trips. “The grass in the park {s green and the trees are covered with blossoms.

It wouldn't spill anything for us if there was a diamond famine in Maiden Lane so long as we have a friend with a benzine buggy whe invites us to go out and see a favorite gee-gee trans: formed into a dog in 1.4114 or thereabouts. A mint famine might mako us take notice, but a gold famine in Wall street inspires us with the same degree of interest that a Chinaman feels in a baseball game.” “Ot course you will go to St. Louis and see the World's Fair,” suggested the Cigar Store Man, “What's the use?” answered the Man Higher Up “New York {s a World's Fair every day in the year, and Broadway is a pike on which cars run both ways.’ —T: said the Cigar Store Man, “that there 16 ae Love and Duty.
