OMMENTING upon the fearful results of the fire in the factory of the Triangle Waist Company, Chief Croker said: “I expected something of this kind to happen in these so-called fireproof build- ings which are without adequate protection eo far as fire escapes are concerned.” District-Attorney Whitman said: “No snap judg- ment should be taken. In the advance of science we may have learned how to make buildings fireproof, but we have yet to learn to make people panic proof.” These are right words epoken in season. They give promise and nasurance of an investigation directed to a definite end, and, therefore, likely to achieve definite resulta; and, also, that the conclusions arrived at will be founded upon reason and justice. Wo may hope for a proper condemnation of any negligence or violation of law that may be disclosed, and fitting recommendations for better aafe- guards hereafter. i The annual losses from fire in the United States are terrible and, ‘what is worse, they are unnecessary.” They do not occur in Europe. They need not occur here. We cannot make people panic proof, but we can remove from factories and public buildings @ good many of the existing causes of panic. ne SUBWAY AND SENATOR. N the close of last week Gov. Dix declared a belief that the Senatorial contest would end early this week in the election of a good Democrat, for, said he of the contending candidates, “they are all good Democrats.” So, too, Comptroller Prender- gast told the Lehigh Club on Friday night that the rapid transit problem would be settled this week and settled right. These were good promises with which to close one week and Pegin another. The settlement of the two issues would be hailed with Bladness, for there are others crowding upon us and pressing for | gttention, The Carnegie Trust scandals grow worse with each new development. The drug frauds require investigation. The charges ‘6f Justice Corrigan must be given due hearing and heed. And, furthermore, the winds of March are raising a dust over the street gyeeping problems. Under such circumstances the promises of optimism sound like *oices of cheerfulness. We have had this subway discussion and Sena- rial fight all winter. ‘Those in authority ought to know by this time | how to end them quickly by ending them rightly. ennai pieretinemeision CIVIL COURAGE. LL complete reports of the scenes of terror and of horror attending the mad rush for life from the burning skyscraper on Saturday note the cour- age and the fidelity of the elevator boys. Despite the fire they stuck to their posts. Despite the panic they kept cool. Between the time when the se fire alarm was sounded and that of the filling of the elevator shafts with flame they made, it is said, twenty trips each to the burning floors, saving hundreds of lives, “There is here a manifestation of civil courage that the city may jastly be proud and grateful to find among those whose hidden lives rarely afford occasion for a conspicuous display of the higher quali- ties of manhood. With the valor of the soldier in battle and of tho! sailor in a wreck the world has long been familiar through song | and story. Yet it has never been firmer or higher than that of the! heroes of the fire service or the police service of cities, and now we pay add the clevator service as well. It matters not under what rank or title he serves, the man that faithfully does his duty in the face! of danger and panic is a hero. | | o~ ‘ Ais.4L Geel | OAK AND VASE, | WIFTLY upon the decision of the Court of Appeals that the workman’s compensation act is unconsti- tutional follows @ resolve on the part of the ad- | vocates of the measure to frame a new bill upon the subject and seek its prompt enactment.

Her | two brothers had been stolen In baby- = hood by Bellarius, an exiled noble man; and they were supposed to be dead. Thus Imogen was heiress to the British throne. Cymbeline had married again. His present queen was eager to marry Imogen to Cloten, her son by a former marriage; so that in time Cloten might be King of Britain. But Imogen upset all the schemes of the Court by falling in love with Posthumus, a young nobleman. She and Posthumus had been children to- gether and had grown up in the same surround- ings. When they found they loved each other, they did not dare ask Cymbeline'’s consent to thetr r would not let his dau, ¢ wed @ man who was not of royal blood. So they weressecretly married. When Cymbeling learned that Imogen was the wite of Posthumus, he was almost inaane with rage. hed Posthumus to Rome and tor- bade him, under pain of death, to return to Britain. The newly married pair bade each other fare well; Imogen giving her husband @ diamond ring 4 belonged to her dead mother, Posthu- return gave Imogen a@ bracelet whiah she ould never leave her arm.

Ischime laughed et this boast and declared he himself could easily win the young heart. Posthumus furiously denjed this and he wagered the dia- mond ring against 10,000 ducate that Imogen would reman true to her absent husband. Iachimo, who had high opinion of his own powers as @ heartbreaker, set off at once to Britain. He made violent Jove te Imogen. She repuleed him with dls- gust. Iachimo did not wish to lose his wager 00 easily. Bo, late one nigit, while Imogen was asleep, he made his way to her room, took the bracelet from her arm without awakening her, and hurried back to Rome. Showing the bracelet to the horrified Posthumus, he declared: “She atripped it from her erm. She gave & me and said she prized it once.” Posthumus accepted this Iie as evidence of Imogen's unfadthfumess, He con- fessed he had los Iachimo the diamond ring, and sent orders to one of hie friends rt to put Imogen to death, husband's cruel decree, was heartbroken.
