Through an inadvertence last Monday night, Mr immy” Kelly, as he is called out of his name, went from Tammany Hall to a the culmination hospital instead of to the morgue. ‘This event w of the annual ball of Mr. Kelly’s association, The other “gang” have been guilty rarely of such inetfective shooting. fellows in the Gossip of the Bowery neighborhood has it now that a choice few of Mr. Kelly’s intimates are out to “get” Mr. “Humpty” Jackson, whose followers are understood to have conducted Monday night’s attack. “Get” is, in such circumstances, a verb meaning to shoot) straight, to hit hard or to cut deep. | This affair between gangsters is discussed quite openly. Some movements preliminary to “getting” Mr. Jackson have already sent two other men to the surgeons. It does not occur to any of the gen- tlemen involved to consider the police even as being “interested in ‘the quarrel. One remembers even that when Lows Poggi shot ' “Kid” Twist a few weeks ago in self-deiense he chose a cell for ; safety rather than freedom with police protection. “Tt is,” said Mr. Poggi’s counsel, “a strange state of affairs.” Whe current gossip of the “gangs” does not make it less queer. RS | FEDERAL JUSTICE, 4 Satisfaction with the course of the Morse prosecution is mingled inevitably in New York with a just anger over conditions which have produced only failure, so far as this county is concerned, in the) State dealings with “high tinance” offenders. | “Uncle Sam gets ‘em!’ was a comment heard after yesterday's sentence. It was a tribute to the Federal Government at the expense of the Empire State. i A scandal and a menace remain while, for the administration of justice, the Nation can be stronger than one of its vital parts. ee EEE SUFFRAGE AND A MODEL KITCHEN The Suffrage & contradiction. has a model kitchen to do"with a vote which is to be purified by woman? out of it to vote? f Martha Washington's eee are showing a twentieth century kitchen up at a Woman aur in the Martha Washimgton Hotel.

The Michigan tiorseulturist who has duced a ‘laft chr themuin may have been a prophet or merely an opportunist. At any rate, the new bloom follows the returns. it is a feature of the Chicago flower show and is admired for its white petals and ats foliage of dark, velvety green. A rose was named for Mrs. Harrison. In memory of McKinley there is the carnation. With the Roosevelts returned the rose, a deep pink variety bearing Miss Alice’s name, a light pink christened for the lady of the White House. The American chrysanthemum being of Japanese origin, Mr. Taft's flower may bear a delicate sym bolism for the door its namesake has helped to keep open in the Last.
