The widows and orphans who have been robbed have the forlorn consolation of knowing the names of their despoilers. A public investigation is imperative, not to add to the evidence against ithe self-confessed culprits, but to disclose whether the people of the State “of New York, through their officials, have participated in the crime. Not so long ago the people of the City of New York rose In wrath at the discovery, not that crime existed, not that fallen women existed, “but that the City of New York, through its Police Department, was in » ;partnership with crime, and, through its police servants, shared In the pro- | ceeds of the shame of women. What now most concerns the people of the State of New York is whether they have been to blame for the long continuance of Equitable Spoliation, Would a thorough examination by the State Insurance De- partment have detected what the Frick Committee have declared to be the facts? If it would, for what consideration was public exposure delayed until an internal fight over the spoils made publicity inevitable? It is due from the people of the State that they should require a public examination to determine whether their officials have had any part, great ‘shared in the Equitable looting of widows and orphans, “SOCIALISM IS STALKING.” Samuel Spencer, President of the Southern Railroad and a former its entrance in our national life clearly and distinctly confronts us.” This vis true, and it does not require a high financial training to recognize the fact that social discontent is increasing and that should the causes not be removed in a legal and orderly manner social disorder and unlawful acts “will arise, we The great fact that men in Mr. Spencer’s high financial class fail to recognize is that disregard of the law is an example which they set, and they cannot with clean hands blame poorer men for patterning after them. A man who feels that he is wronged will not be bound by the law, which those who wronged him have already broken, The small mer- chant ruined by an unlawful trust, the small shipper driven out of busi- | ness by illegal rebates, the farmer unable to market his produce profitably, ~ 'the workman unable to buy his kerosene, his coal, his meat at a reason- ‘able price—all these men will turn to sovialism as a relief only when the ii rich men high in authority have closed the door of the other avenues of escape from illegal oppression and extortion, ACCIDENT SUPERSTITIONS. . According to the old superstition events mm in series, especially acci- @ents, and when there is one sort of accident two others of the same kind are sure to follow. The three recent steamboat collisions in nearby waters ,are.cited to sustain this superstition. ; Among old railroad men there is the same belief that accidents run in ‘sets of threes. If there is one collision there are bound to be two more. /Whatever the kind of accident, the series will continue with the same kind. ‘There is the same belief about.certain engines and certain ships and ‘steamers, If things are going wrong it is the hoodoes which will be the ivictims. Thus in a collision the loss of: life and injuries are one-sided, "Two engines may meet head on; the engineer and fireman of one will be killed and of the other escape unhurt. One train will be demolished, ‘and the other simply come to a standstill with little more injury than a broken cowcatcher, After the first accident of the series none of the old railroad or steam- boat men is comfortable until the series has run its course. They regard ‘it as an attack of measles or whooping cough in a family of small children, Af it-has once begun it is bound to make the rounds, MRS.

D. Woodward, of Columbia. : By Columbia, '93., PROF, WOODWARD, you teach Romance languages at Columbia, I believe? A, I do, I am always on the hunt for Komance, Q. What is the finest Romance you've discovered? A. The romance told me by the man from whom I bought a pair of horses last week, He agaid they were horses; but it was just a romance on his part. They weren't even skates. To call them plugs would be fulsome flattery, Q. I think he described the palr as high-steppers; was that also ro- mance? A. No, {t was plain, unyarnished truth, They stepped eo high that I was up in the air all the time I had them, Q. Are you a judge of horses? \. Sir, you insult me, My study of Romance Languages teaches me that the Greek word for horse 1s “hippo” and the Greek word for judge js “critos."’ Therefore a judge of horses is necessarily a “hypocrite,” Q. What was the matter with the horses you bought? A. They were advertired os a spirited pair. \But when the effects of the spirits wore off they showed exaggerated symptoms of remorse and claimed to be hitched to a water-cart. But apart [rom a few minor blemishes, like spavin, ring- bone, blind staggers, heaves, glanders, and—— Q. Did you give them any names? A, I named one of them Pegasus BFO9090OOO4S 1 crawled under the horses with a noneky wrench to see what was the matter, and the other Barnard, But when I found out their true nature I named them Equitable I. and Equinox II, Q.

Engineers know more about those things than clerks and merchants and stenographers and others shy on technical education do. The engineers maintain that the Subway does ventilate itself, and it certainly does, “What difference does it make if the ventilation {s not accomplished with fresh air? We need all the loose fresh air above ground. If the Sube way was kept stuffed with fresh air all the t4me there would be a scarcity of fresh air on the streets where the little children play, and they might got sick and die, “The Interborough officials say truly that the people like the Subway air, If they didn’t they wouldn't ride on the Subway. Everybody knows that @ taste ef caviare, limburger cheese, raw onions and similar delicacies can be acquired.

At the present rate of progress {t may safely be assumed that by next Auguet a Subway patron living in Harlem can put a knife and fork in his pocket before boarding his train’ and breakfast as he is whizzed along to business, “~The Interborough must take a firm stand in this matter. Mf the cor- poration should yield to public demand and shovel all the bad air out of the Subway the next thing the people would be demanding hammocks in the cars. The assertion that @ long ride in the Subway is injurious be- cause |t makes a man feel tired is foolish, It 1s well established that men exercise in order that they may make themselves tired for the benefit of thelr health, The Imterborough deserves thanks for devising a echemo whereby a man can make himself thred without txercising,” “People are entitled to what they pay for,” protested the Cigar Store man. i; “gure Mike,” agreed the Man Higher Up, “but in the Subway you pay. for a ride, not for Adirondack ozone,” 0 Little Willie’s Guide to New York. ‘ Ghe Gang Habit.
