Mr. 8. Gross Horwitz, a lawyer, whose hours, it seems, are easy, seeks to restrain, on his own account ‘and his mother's, the matutinal activities in a car- \penter shop situate in the street back of his premises, It is alleged that the sawing and hammering awaken long before their usual time of arising the parties men- tioned In the complaint, Also, the carpenters’ nolses ‘Dave affected the pecullar value of the complainant's home to “persons exercising intellectual pursuits and ‘other vocations not connected with physical toll,” Christopher Watts is the proprietor of the offend- dmg shop. He keeps union hours, beginning work at 'T o'clock. He has offered to open later if Horwitz ‘will pay his. men for their lost time, The lawyer ‘responds with an) application for an injunction, and ‘the case is on between labor and leisure. The case is unique in the assumption that 7 o'clock Qn unseemly time at which to begin the legitimate noise of the day's toll. At that hour ‘fm August the sun has been working nearly two hours, Can it be held under the law that the man who then begins his day's work i“? interfering unreasonably ‘with such “pursuit-of happiness” as another man finds 4m his “forty winks” before breakfast? Or can tho) complainant show that the product in strength and dntellectuality of his morning nap sufficiently sur- passes in value the product of the carpenters’ tools to ‘warrant @ forenoon’s enjoining of the hammer and saw? The decision in Baltimore will be awaited with in- terest, For if Mr. Horwitz wins, where shall the line be drawn between noisy industry and the protracted drowse? Shall we not, in that event, see not alone the hammerers of a great city, but the early trains and trolleys and all nolsy traffic suspended at the behest ‘of those “not connected with physical toil?” KEEPING THE NATION’S FOOD PURE, The chemical laboratory for the examination of 1m- Ported food products which the Government is about to ‘establish at the appraiser's stores in this city is calcu- ated to be of inestimable benefit to the health of the elty and the nation. New York Is the main receiving port and distributing point for all articles of food which ‘come from abroad. In quantity these importations have Brown to enormous proportions. In respect to quality ‘tliere have recently come ominous reports of deteriora- tion from our consular representatives in Europe, A cursory examination of a year’s consular reports will re- ‘veal numerous epecific charges of adulteration, an alarm. ‘tng aspect of which is the testimony as to the great in- (crease of this practice on the part of foreign manufac- turers within a brief period. Thus, the adulteration of ‘cod liver ofl, which Consul-General Bordewich, at Chris- tania, made the subject of a warning report last March, is said by him “to have been unknown, at least in Norway, Prior to the last two years.” Both the city and the State now exercise a jealous fwatchfulness over the food offered for sale in the city, ‘the effectiveness of which is evidenced by the thousands ‘of tons of contaminated food destroyed annually, Their efforts to maintain a standard of purity have recently teen facilitated by the co-operation of the Government, Whe help thus given will be all the greater with a Gov- The Triumph of the Red Haired Girl. ——_ By Nixola Greeley-Smith.

This, as the observing corre- spondent of the London Telegraph points out, is New York’s great bargain season, and the extent of the ‘Durcbases of out-of-town patrons hears witness to their appreciation of the fact. Shop windows are dressed for their particular inspection and marked. down signs displayed to attract their patronage. A glimpse of the packed trunks !n a hundred hotels ‘would reveal how largely this opportunity 1s availed ot for the purchase of gifts for those at home and articles of personal wear and adornment.
