For there were malignant minds who p ‘Were disposed to dolieve it true. They argued that the @hildren had been the innocent victims of an unfortu- mate example; that they had watched thelr parent's * methods toward another feathered pet known to s00lo- » Siete as the American eagle; that they had observed * with childish glee how he “chased it all over the White ¢ House grounds, plucking at it and teasing it * * * | ___ until the bird was well-nigh exhausted,” and yet, judg- fing by Nov. 8, how the eccentric fowl seemed to have 4 felt & morbid gratitude for its treatment.

Henceforth the Interborough and i the. Brooklyn Rapid-Transit systems must furnish trans- "> fers to points on other lines operated by them {n the city of New York. An immediate benefit to the public “will be the removal of arbitrary distinctions by which * the rafiroads while giving transfers at certain points have reserved the privilege of refusing them at others, mith a resulting confusion by which passengers have| _ been seriously incommoded, ay" It 1s interesting, in reviewing the protracted litiga-| which has thus been brought to a successful issue, © Beto note that here again the public has been obliged to - _ Gepend on itself for the enforcement of Its rights and to #° Mook tothe efforts of citizens acting individually or in “eonctrt to effect the reforms which are presumably mong the duties of its Railroad Commissions and other eonatituted authorities.

Familiarity with the casual manner with which Hfe ts divorced from people in this town—especially along upper Broadway—has edtab- Mshed here the standard that once prevailed in Dodge City and other feverish centres in the West. So: tee nowned an authority as Mr. Rat Masterson, now a ree ‘pected and industrious citizen of New York, has de- élared that Felton did perfectly right in boring a hole with a bullet through the person of Roche. And the | chances-are that the views of Mr. Masterson will be adopted by the community at large. “Out in the wild and woolly West the revolver is go» ing into the discard and disputes are being settled with firsts, It 1¢ getting to a stage out there where murder 1s murder, while New York {s seriously considering the adoption of the principles that first gave rise to the reign ot Judge Lynch. “It 1s admitted that Roche told Felton that he was going to get his gun and kill him. Some years ago Roche made that same threat to another gambler, and it was no {dle jest. He went and got his gun and made good, Hence {t is held that Felton, wise to Roche's record as a killer, was justified in believing that unless he transferred the contents of his artillery into Roche a6 soon as he got a flash at him the transfer would have doen the other way, ‘ Nearly all the sporting men on Broadway are gun- packers nowadays; and if the killings keep on the rub- berneck erach companies will be able to arrange special murder matinees, The Incidental finish of the career of Roche fs the last of a series. ‘ }ittle time ago a sporting man near the corner of Bi ay and Forty-second street blithely inserted the steel ferrule of an umbrella into the eye of @ man | who didn’t like his necktle, The man with the critical taste in oravats died forthwith and, although the um- brella wielder was well known, he has never been pyn- ished. Shortly after that, in a hotel in that neighbor- hood, two sporting men got into an argument‘and one upholstered the other with lead while he was eating a frugal midnight lunch of chicken galad and wine, This vase never got to trial.” “Broadway seems to be getting kind of dangerous,” | remarked The Clgar Store Man. “Yes,” agreed ‘The Man Higher Up, “but all the dan- S| ger isn't from revolvers.” 400-Year-Old Whales. ‘Whales from 30 to 40 years old are sometimes met with, ‘The age is escertained by the size and number of layers of the whalebone, which increase yearly.
