Yesterday the Western Union apparently bowed to Public Opinion by cutting off all its employees who collect racing returns at the tracks, as well as all who receive it in pool-rooms not only in New York but By Martin Green. i Lé “* How the Pool-Room Men \ Might Win Out Against Jerome.

Having been taken tardily and grudgingly, after attempts at shuffling and at subterfuge, the Public’s comment will merely be: “So far, so good!” SAVE THE SUMMER SCHOOLS! The Corporation Counsel has been asked by the Board of Estimate whether the vacation schools and playgrounds van be kept open by use of a “Joker” para- graph in an obscure law. This may be an undignified way to save the situation, but the Board of Faucation ought to be willing to crawl through a very small hole in a statute to save the schools. If this plan doés not succeed, something else must be devised, and that right swiftly. The summer is al- most here. It will be a reproach to the public spirit and a slur upon the resuurcefulness of New York {f it permits “Butt-In Ben" of Albany to close its summer schools, It would be a calamity to turn an army of boys and girls over to the tender mercies of the streets, ‘The Interstate Commerce Commission ts trying to decide whether it is all right for the railroads to rob New York through “differentials.” If it were any other city the anawer might seem ensy, but when it Js only New York that is getting the worst of it—well— BILL SMITH'’S MONEY. Bill Smith has come into his share of the $1,500,000 which Mrs. Vanderbilt and Mrs, Oelrichs handed over to “Bim and his relatives as their portion of the Fair estate, Bill Smith from being a poor man has instantaneously become a rich one. He has celebrated his new fortune by “blowing off” his town to a wholesale night of banqueting, fireworks and general rejoicings. He has bought himself an auto-| | mobile, in which he is going to take a trip to St. Louts, He fs using his money for one of the original pur- poses for which mcney was invented—he is spending it. It will be interesting to watch Bill Smith and his relatives and see how they follow the general tendencies which seem to govern the possession of wealth. These tendencies, with of course, frequent exceptions, are: ‘That those who have been brought up with the wealth which they inherit underestimate the value of money iteelf, but overestimate the necessity of the luxuries which money gives. sought by the rela- tives of a widowed ninety - year - old siren of that town, festraining a young student .of twenty-three from making love to or otherwise Influencing her.

Since widows or their relatives may got out injunctions restraining men from muking love to them, may men or their relatives obtain similar writs against the widews? Will the pursued bachelor be able to seek legal redress at the widow him into a proposal?

By issuing orders for smothering it they have shown that they were responsible for it while it was moving. If they hadn't been smoked out, they would have gone on supplying news to pool- rooms and soaking the pool-room keepers for as much as they would stand for another twenty-five years; but when the authorities get after them with a brass band they do a quick crawl, and the District-Attorney com- » | “Fine for the W.

Ryan and the other men who take hets in rooms organize the ‘Save Your Money and Buy a Farm Association.’ Then let them elect themselves directors. When the District-Attorney gets after their pool-rooms they can plead that they are a corporation, and to keep up his reputation for consistency he will have to take a fall out of the corporation and infilet a fine.” “Do you think it is possible that these highly re: spectable dircctors knew that the business of supply: ing pool-rooms with information was illegal.” “Well,” answered the Man Higher Up, “I haven't seen the populace turn around as any Western Unton director walked along the street and say, ‘Oh! see th¢ poor blind man!
