It was a trrumph for the Commissioner, his able inspector and The Evening World. The new Commissioner within a few weeks ufter taking up the reins found ls work hampered by the fact that his force of vatroumen—real, live men who were doing police duty—was inadequate in numbers.

Evening World's Sucgestions. Again The Evening World made the sugzestion that If details were abol- ished there would be many rrore men) to patrol the streets and protect New York's women from robbery and in- sult. It printed an article showing where these men—these favored sons of blue—could be found. The paper ferreted them out from the court squa and telephone exchange, the offices at Headquarters and various city depart- ments. The Evening World on Feb. 3 waid: ‘The new Police Commissioner y find where 319 of New York’s paid protectors are do- ing work entirely apart from police duty, There are men who, excepting perhaps the eourt squad, never make an ar- rest never carry a baton. are men who avoli the hority vested in them, an who run away from troub when they find it on the stre ‘These men—when they are done with their clerical work—hurry home as a bookkeeper in an in- rare a drygoods store does.

Bingham Could See It. Commissioner Bingham,. who hae not assumed the aspect of the wise man! who knows {t all, showed again that he| knows a good thing when he sees it./ He decided that clerical work, telephone and telegraph work and the Iike did not | have to be done by pelicemen. Said tne Commissioner: ‘Let us, put these police- | men out on the streets to do police work and hire civilians to take care of these) snap jobs. It won't require so many | men, and the work will be done much better."’ That was the idea conveyed by The Evening World in its articles, * “But the Commissjoner, once armed with the {dea, cid not st down, as many of his predecessors would have done; | neither did he lay the question before Mr. Murphy nor any other Tammany Hall leader. He knew he had the Mayor's sanction and with that he went before a committee of the Boant of Al- dermen snd ‘asked a chance to carry ‘out the reforms. Needs Man to Help.

When Mr. Grout was Comptroller he tried to make a stmilar arrangement with the ferry compagies, but the acheme fell through. i “Tho reason ithe people do not use the forries,” said Mr. Metz, “Is because they to the Comperoller and Borough Presi- dent McGownn to take action, It was at the request of Dock Com- missioner Bensel that action was taken over the Thirty-ninth street ferry plan, He asked fur power to go ahead and engage architects and engineers to pre- pare plans for terminals and also for three boats.

Anyone vho has suffered from the annoyances of constipation realize that the condition is always aggra- ‘vated after using the harsh and irri- tating mixtures that come from inex- perlenced, irresponsible sources.

The locke: contains a picture of the little girl that came to them a year ago, and who died six weeks ago, William McAvoy had two sons and three daughters, all settled in life and well-to-do. Up to six months ago he lived in a good house, and thelr home wus all that he and his young wife could desire They were happy. and when their little one came they seemed to need nothing more in life; but then the old man lost his job, It seemed hard for him to find another. They got along for awhile, but the little one needed things that cost money, and the mother had to go to work. Even then they could not make both end meet and their things went one at a time, until six months ago they were so poor that they had to move into smaller quarters, They got rooms from Mrs. Callahan, a friend of tong stand- Ing, but poor like themselves, and moved to her house, No. 1183 Second avenue. The young wife and mother liad a place which she has yet in a Sixth avenue store. When the baby died it took all that Mrs. McAvoy had for the burial, he tried to get®along and worked harder, but still she could not pay the debis and support ‘her old husband. He got a job the other day as an en- @ineer and tried to keep it. He work- ed early and late, but he was too old and was discharged. He came home and told his young wife all, and then he went down to the corner store and had something to put a little heart into him, He Worrled His Wife. Then he went all to pieces and could do nothing but follow his young wife ‘was annoying. She had a heart-to-heart talk with her friend, Mrs. Callahan, and they de- clded that the old man might pull him- self together if he were thrown entirely on his own resources, so when he came ‘home that night Mrs. Callahan told him his wife was gone. She told him that he must find a-gom elsewhere, and he went away.
