AFTER DARK ON THE STREET. | nals but to respectable citizens, especially decent young women. Es fn the week a servant girl on her way home with her married sister w arrested, locked up all night and fined because she shrieked when a drunken memter of the Union League Club accosted her. The next night | ; another respectable young woman had a similar experience. The next night another respectable girl, employed as clerk in a department store, ‘was arrested in the early part of the evening while walking along Thi fourth street to meet the man to whom she is engaged and make a social | § all with him, None of these girls was known by face or name to the policemen who arrested them. At the same time scores of street women known by face and reputation to the policemen were plying their vocation un- arrested. Has it come to this pass in New York that the only women who may he alone on the streets after dark are the poor unfortunates who regularly pay the police for the privilege? Must the respectable woman who has occasion to be out alone after dark make arrangements with professional bondsmen and pay toll or spend the night in a police station? Of course, the wardmen must collect or be transferred, but the ‘ power higher up might have some mercy and relax the secret rules of 4 the Police Department so that respectable women, especially working girls, may not have to stay in the house all the hours they are not at their daily toil. PEREEEE SUCH POWER IS A PERIL. No one man is allawed by the Constitution to hold at the same time , executive, legislative and judicial office. This wise provision is to pro- tect the Republic and to prevent dangerous concentration of power. No one man should be allowed to hold at the same time control of gas and electricity, surface transportation, the tobacco trade, banks and trust companies and life insurance, ‘Such concentratfon of power is a peril to the Republic. MR. JEROME IS IN ERROR, Mr, Jerome's assumption is erroneous that the law which provided for the punishment of Larry Summerfield omits a penalty for Equitable Officials. The report of the Frick committee contains enough facts to convict several Equitable officials both of ordinary larceny as defined in! « section 528 of the Penal Code and of official misconduct as defined in, < section 611. It has been decided in the many citations in the annotated Penal Code, of which it is probable the District-Attorney’s office has a copy, that any felonious breach of trust is larceny, and that the code’s sweeping any money which does not belong to him, or while trustee or officer of any corporation, in control of any of the corporation’s money or other property, appropriates any part of it to his own use, is guilty of larceny. If Mr. Jerome means business, there is plenty of both law and evi- dence at hand, PUSH CARTS, | Push carts obstruct the streets and interfere with the business ot | the adjacent storekeepers. That is a reason for their abolition, On the other hand, the fush cart men supply a public want by making easy small purchases of fiuil and other desirable articles. Also it would no. be fair to drive the 11,000 push cart men entirely out of b 'siness, On the crowded east side the aggregate volume of push cari sales is large. In that neighborhood purchases are small in amount, and it is of great value to have the various necessities and luxuries in wuica the pash carts deal easy ct accessibility to Ine mass of the people. The remedy is iu the hands of the city authorities. had a complete j.bik market system. The decay of thi. system was due to the cay grew,ng away fiom the old market sites. ‘Tau is n-w no public market in the great east side district north of the Brooklyn Bridge, except the partial provision for the fish dealers. A complete system of east side markets could be established at slight cost. Moderate rentals will return a revenue from the space under the bridge approaches. Public places in connection with the small parks and street Intersections could also be utilized during certain hours without in- terfering with, traffic. By localizing the push carts and the sale of food products sanitary conditions would also be improved. The push cart should go and a system of small public markets should take its place, Purify the subway air and get rid of the bad smells first and let the Interborough Company and the Rapid Transit Commission blame each other afterward, Winners at a horse race do not win the bookmaker's money any more than a successful stock speculator wins from his broker, a The Republicans want the Cits to show them.

And {f any of them freak racing machines ,| think they can beat your stock car let 'em come on and try!’” The Man Higher Up: f By Martin Green. | BEE,” satd the Cigar Store Man, “that Grover Cleveland, Jus« tice O'Brien and George Westinghouse, the eminent life insurance men, haye got busy as trustees of the Equitable stock.” “Now 18 the time for Equitable policy-holders to take a long breath and lay back in contentment,” declared the Man Higher Up. “Their interests are in the hands of honest men, Grover Cleveland through his whole political career has been @ close student of life in- ‘surance; Justice O’Brien has qualified as a life insurance expert by dis- 2 tinguished services on the bench, and George Westinghouse has trained ° himself in the life insurance school by manufacturing electric motors, air ‘>| prakes and similar mechanical trifles. eS ees very first act of the trustees was to examine the deed of trust g | by which the $51,000 worth of Hyde stock was transferred to Thomas F, ? Ryan for about $5,000,000. Next on the programme was the fixing of the salary of Paul Morton, who | a thirty-third degree life insurance man by virtue of his expertence as rebate arranger for the Santa Fe Railroad, Number three on the lst of services to be performed for the policy-holders by the trustees was finding out who {s to pay the lawyers. An assemblage of the legal lights who are looking for their bit out of the Rquitable mess would look Hke a mass-meeting of the people who didn’t recognize the Mysterlous Mr. Raffles. “probably the next question to be considered by the trustees will te whether the policy-holders should be called pon to give Mr, Hyde a > ta, We might suggest that it would be a great business getter if Mr. Cleve- land would make a tour of the country in a private car delivering lectures on first ald to injured Ife insurance companies. Preliminary to the lec- tures a quartet composed of Mr, Hyde, Mr. Alexander, Mr. Tarbell and Mr. Winthrop might arouse intense enthusiasm by warbling a specially com- posed anthem entitled ‘When the Lion and the Lamb Lie Down Togethers What Ought to Be the Odds Against the Lamb?’ " “Ig Mr, Mortan Secretary of the Navy or boss of the Equitable?” asked the Cigar Store Man. “What do we care?” retorted the Man Higher Up, chewing tobacco contract has been closed,” +-—__—__—_—_ Little Willie’s Guide to New York. **The Best Ewvers.’” NCE thare was a cheef of poleece who had so many thoughts that he coodent express them all in'inglish so he started a weerd langwidgo of his own and his langwidse was so wonderful that mare vanwike branded him The best cheef of poleece nu yoark evver had and soon after, that It snowed and poor oald devvery was mislaid ammong the drifts, then a good oald dockter naimed woodbery got a job as street cleener and hé got | on ferstrate until the streats got mad and stopped staying cleen and a hot air frend dubbed him the best streat cleening comishner nu yoark evver, ‘>| had and then it sudenly snowed again and the snow hazzent all disapeared | yet but woodbery’s poppularrity has, and now along comes a colle) deem natmed west and he proclames loudly that macklelan {# the best mare nu yoark evyer had and evver since then the mare calle up the weather buro eech moarning and exitedly asks if thare 1s anny sign of a snowstorm and | he trembles when the handorgans play snow snow butifle snow, If anny, hartless retch was to call me the Best Annything Nu Yoark ver Had 1 wood soke him with a brik and then lite aut for the troppix whare fe nevver snows, good oald best evvers, & P, TERHUNE, —————+ Wives as Good Investments. ANY a man to-day considers a wife a poor investment; they say that the modern girl demands much and gives little, They want @ thome with every corhfont; a bank account or a liberal allowance et least, plenty of letsure, and a long holiday every year, In some eastern countries, however, women are conaidered good investments, When men are asked why they are anxious to obtain wives their one reply is that they may get water, wood and food, and carry whatever they possess, There, re many ceremonies that prove ‘tts notion—such as the bride preparing a meat ror her husband, In return for this Ixbor they and the children are uevally not permitted to eat with the father, When he returna from the hunt he gives the game to his | wite and when she has cooked it he oats his fll and gives them what te teft, Laziness gets a woman in trouble sooner than any other shortooming, This {9 expecially true of the Fijian women, who are virtually their husbands’ ala ‘They have not the right to say whom iy ond ear nor after they ard arried to say what they will and what they will n 8 ‘The father settles the first question, the husband the second.
