At is a precautionary measure urgently called for in é circumstances as a first practical application of the so dearly learned. The one fact not to be lost disaster and not to be confused or sidetracked is that the iming of the Gen. Slocum must serve as the occasion for the adoption of the most radical and. stringent ‘Measures possible for the safety of all passengers on ‘excursion boats. © The price paid in the awful (oll of human life was Sufficiently exorbitant to justify the public in exacting @S a return for the purchase money conditions of Security as nearly absolute as it is possible to devise. And to that end this is a proper first step. ‘Supervising Inspector Redis's objections that as the excursion boats have been once inspected “there is no Mecessity for an additional inspection” is untenable. » ‘The public is left to infer from his remarks that a re- | éxamination before “the end of the vear when their | certificates expire” would be illegal. Sf this is a correct interpretation of the law it cannot Ee too Soon amended. Certainly it is not designed to p Teave open a loophole for rascality such as is thus in- > dicated. In the case of the examinations of national “banks the law provides that the examiner may enter ind inspect them at any time or on any breath of suspicion. If these precautions are justifiable for the protection of pocketbooks, a far greater weight and warrant should 5 to their use for the protection of life, LIEUTENANT AND THE: TRUST, ‘There has been a food trust in Guam. “Has been" ‘Dut is not. When the young naval lieutenant who is acting as Governor of the Island found prices going up, he inquired why. Then he put bis foot down and the jt was under it. In his order, the lifutenant says the government has ) Aearned that “existing exorbitant prices on foodstuits, whiten are plainly not justified by the necessity of first cost; freight, duiles, &e, are due 'argely to a form of collusion or coalition on the part of certain merchants,” ‘And the coalition bas to stop. i ‘There are moments when militarism appeals to tha etanchest believers In the purely civil law.

The Alderman has several advantages over his colleagye of “end seat” fame. In the first place, an almost CAdivided popular sympathy is with him. Then again, the standee nuisance 4s. real person, while the “end-seat hog’ {s a more or less mythical character fashioned on prejudice and on ) Somebody's desire to get the seat somebody else has, _ Nevertheless, the street car minus standing-room Is, "for the New York of tho present, a dream purely “Iridescent. It cannot be realized even by ‘he process of sending men to jail. Somo day, the problem of transporting our metro- politan multitudes without packing them in layers or hanging them up by straps may be solved. Just now, the shape of the island and the desire of everybody to ‘be going the same way aud at the same timé with every- » body else render the solution !mpossible If every one of the travelling millions keeps as gocd- natured as he can and takes personal care to make him- - ‘welf as little of a nuisance os possible, the highest sum ag immodiate good will be reached. THE WANING ROOF GARDEN. It appears that the roof garden has begun to pall on the popular taste and the pessimists point to Its wane as ~ gnother example of tho fickleness of the public’s favor.

SEE," said the Cigar Store Man, “that the Mas- om | sachusetts Legislature has passed a Jaw mak- ing a person who gives a tip Hable to a fine.” “For mine,” replied the Man Higher Up, “IT can't see why it was necessary to pass such a law in the Bay State. Nobody ever saw a Massachusetts man | give up anything when he is at home. A Massachusetts resident passing out a tip would create as much of a sen- ‘sation us che arrest of Russel! Sage for speeding an auc tomobite. “For that reason the anti-tipping law may make a hit in Massachusetts, but it would be a frost In this town, ‘The tipping habit is grafted onto New York and the con. scientious or grouchy citizen who fails to cough up get the short end of it from soup to nuts “The Massachusetts law makes it appear that the reascn a waiter. for instance, takes a tip is because he inteuds to put the kibosh on his employer for a consid- eration, That may go in Massachusetts. Maybe the employers up there feel that way. It ts different in New York. “Employers in this town expect their servants to cop the mezuma from customers In all lines where tipping exists. Wages in New York are based upon the amount of graft from customers that is attached to the job. | There ire plenty of establishments In New York where a vacancy brings bidders who are willing to pay for the privilege of taking the place “Tipping: is the outgrowth of the selfishness of the human race. Everybody is looking for the best of it The.discovery hus been made that the best of it cannof be accumulated without a price. When ushers {f churches take tips the matter has got to a stage wher 8 law couldn't put a seratch on it.” “If I caught one of my clerks taking a tip I'd cut hig suspenders,” asserted the Cigar Store Man. “What do you call it when a customer asks you to have a cigar and you put it back in the box agter he leaves?” asked the Man Higher Up. Discharging Torpedoes, In every battleshtp, cruiser and torpedo boat there are tubes, ke so many large gun barrels, built into the ship, some above, but mostly below the water, and from these tubes the torpedoes are discharged at the enemy's ship. A small charge of cordite or compressed air, at a pressure of AR RAISULT, OUR AMERICAN GRAFTER THROUGH THE PARK — B/7.50— AML THERe ARB OTHER BANDITS! THE WORLD IS Fuur oF BANDITS!

When it leaves the guiding ‘bar the propellers get to work and the projectile is off, straight as A bullet, to the target at which {t has been aimed, says London Answers. The orginal Whitehead torpedo had a speed of elght knots sin hour and an outside range of a quarter of a mile; tho torpedo of to-day—and I am describing the very weapon tho Japancse are using with such deadly effect—will run as straight as a dart for a mile (thanks to the gyroscope) at @ speed of pretty well forty miles an hour, It can be almed as accurately as # rifle, and what 1s most wonderful is that it can bo adjusted from the conning tower of a ship and discharged simply dy pressing an electric key. When the torpedo strikes a ship {t does not, as some folks think, blow ner “sky high.” There ix a heavy quivering shock, @ column of water Is sent high above the decks, there Js a sickly smell of explosives, and that 1s all that Js seen or felt, but below water the steel plating of the ship is rent, and twisted Nike so much paper, there {s a gaping hole: through which an omnibus might be driven, and in most cases no human power can save the ship from going to tho bottom.
