And he fell to the earth and *eard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And tmmeditately there felt from his eyes as it had deen scales; and he received his sight forthwith, Conversions as sudden as Saul’s are not rare at Albany. Exceptional LemueTE Quigg facilities for seeing a light exist there. But the number of original supporters of the Elsberg bill whom the opposition has made to see the error of their ways breaks all records. When the bill was introduced early in the session it received warm support. Though assailed by the Ryan-Belmont attorneys, it was speed- ily advanced. The New York and Brooklyn Republican members of the Senate Cities Committee joined with the Democrats to report it favorably. Then came the Page bill providing for joint construction and operat- ing contracts, omitting the limitation clause and making no provision for pipe galleries, and the defeat of the Elsberg measure followed. It was slaughtered in the house of its friends, three Republican Senators and one Democrat who had previously supported it voting against it, ators Cooper, Davis, Carpenter and Martin? What influence has also converted the young Sauls of the Assembly, the various city representa- tives who deserted the Elsberg bill on the introduction of the Page measure ? . By acoincidence of ill omen, the name of Lemuel Ely Quigg appears in the proceedings to kill the Elsberg bill for a bill more in the interest of the Ryan-Belmont combination. Is there any connection between this sinister apparition and the light which the Page bill’s new-found friends have been made to see? As the controlling spirit of the New York County Committee and the factotum of high finance Quigg is equipped to exert a double-edged persuasion. Has he not scrupled to make it felt? Does the City Club indorse it? Do the highly honorable civic alms and ideals it professes justify Quigg, Quiggery and Quiggism? Whatever Mr. Jerome's disinclination to pursue and punish Insurance crim!- nals and Metropolitan jury-fixers, no one will doubt that he will act with all his old energy in the prosecution of the criminal dive-keepers who have so cruelly wronged their poor white slaves here in New York, and of the policemen who have “protected” the infamous industry. No severity can be too great for the punishment of such offenses as are charged. PERJURY. The indictment for perjury of Col. Mann, president of the Town Topics Company, shows a stern regard for the honor of the courts and the welfare of the people. So did the prompt punishment of Jordan, the Texan who lied on the stand because he didn’t want to confess a sorry chapter in his record, Perjury should by all means be punished. But how about the dis- , tinguished insurance officials who committed it upon the stand in the Armstrong investigation sessions? How about young McCurdy, who swore he didn’t know what his father's salary was? How about old/ McCurdy, who went to Paris in style the other day and is not likely to be turned back for lack of means or any danger of his becoming a pauper?} How about the engaging young man who swore that he didn't know where his own father had fled to avoid testifying? Perjury is very wrong. It ought to be punished without fear. It! ought also to be punished without favor, | Assemblyman Prentice would cut the stock-transfer tax because it has pro- duced more money than was anticipated. Before the tiny tax was put on the stock gamblers were wailing that it would stop their business. Instead it greatly increased. Some people are hard to suit.

For the first time within hu- man memory the lake, one of the very few fresh-water lakes in South Africa, was perfectly dry during the later stages of the war. After the declaration of Peace the lake resumed its normal ap- {| pearance, though the water was shallower than before. Twice since then—in 190! and 1905—the bed of the lake has been quite dry. 8 One of the newest fads of the medical nrorld is the sleep cure.

He cites in suppord: of his theory the longevity of the negroes, and declares that they attain a ripe ol@ age simply because they sleep when work 1s not absolutely essential. His treate ment consists of sending his patient to bed and making him sleep.
