NCE more the problem of factory supervision, | apropos of the fire in the Asch Building. Henry L. Stimson, in a letter resigning the presi- dency of the “Committee on Safety of the City of New York,” says: “Enormous hives of {in- dustry are sprouting up almost over night in a locality whose laws, system of administration and | customs have made no provision for them.” How can that be? We have on this subject State laws, city ordinances, court ¢ cisions, investigations by the press and by charitable associations that fill books. We have building codes, factory codes, fire codes and health codes. We have State officials and city officials. W« have also borough officials. We have coroners and coroners’ juries We have supervision by the Police Department, the Fire Depart- ment and the Health Department and by State factory inspectors. Surely we have made ample provision so far as laws, officers and systems of administration are concerned. Mr. Stimson says: “It is imperative that the intelligent moral | sense of the community should be aroused and concentrated on the | problem until it is effectually eolved.” Well, the community was | aroused. And what colution is offered? Nothing but a legislative investigation. + AN ALDERMANIC MYSTERY. UST why a clique of Aldermen are opposed to opening the free bath at Coney this summer is! not apparent, It is easy enough to understand | why the owners of bathing establishments there | do not wish it, for the competition might hurt their trade somewhat. It is also easy to under- stand that these parties would exert all the pull| and push they have to prevent the opening of free baths. But still’! it is not clear why the clique of Aldermen are in opposition, The amount of money required for the maintenance of the free | bath is small, so the opposition eannot be based upon principles of | economy. Also, the public need and the popular demand for the bath are large, so it cannot be supposed the matter is one of ,no importance. Finally, as the summer season is here, it cannot be said that the subject is one that can be just as well postponed for atime. So it is something of a mystery why any Alderman ehoula | oppose the grant of the appropriation asked for the maintenance of the bath. And why should there be a clique of them? ——++ REDUCTION TO ABSURDITY. R. CROKER’S retirement from the office of Chief of the Fire Department compels the se- lection of a successor. Thirteen Deputy Chiefs are cligible for the position. All of them lave been in the service a long time. The character of each so far as the service is concerned must be fairly well known to those having authority in the department. Every one of them has his good qualities, also the defects that attend those qualities. Many are fit to serve with honor, but not many can command with the effectiveness of a true leader- ship. It is a leader that is wanted, The selection is to be left to an examination. Various “points” are to be appraised and counted. These points are fixed upon an artificial standard and are necessarily arbitrary. ‘he board that snade them can change them. In themselves they are nothing. For a'l utility in appraising the fitness of a man for command or for “fire service, the candidates might as well be weighed, measured, gauged and made to sing. It is a reduction of reform to absurdity. tte THE OVATION TO JOHNSON. ONDON’S ovation to Jack Johnson has been such as to distract attention from every other notable in the coronation city. Reports say the verve and vigor of the crowds that follow him demon- strate a popular appreciation equal to that shown toward Roosevelt. As for John Hays Hammond, our special official representative, he has been put -into the discard. He has had to go off to Folkestone for a rest cure. There is nothing in this that is either strange or new. A sim- Mar popularity has been @ijoyed by the heroes of public games in all lands and in all ages. Juvenal has left it on record that in the | ‘Rome of his time no sage, poet, nor statesman enjoyed so much purlic favor or received such large rewards as did the “Charioteer «of the Reds.” And even in classic Greece there was more hurrah | over Milo, who could knock an ox down with his fist, than ever there was over any man that got out of the way of an ox when he t éaw him coming. This admiration has its worthy as well as its comic side, A widespread popular sentiment is never wholly ridiculous, Muscle hen its merit, It ’s better to be a special ambassador than a pugilist, bat also it is better to be Johnny on the spot than to have to hunt a} rest cure for nervous prostration on the eve of gre t doings. ‘The Former ls Correct.

There are two of them; the Imperial crown, | which will be placed on King George's head by the Archbishop of Cantel | bury, and St. James's crown, which old-time Briton sovereigns wore. The | Imperiai crown (which has lately been “refitted” to suit the new King’s | head) contains about 3,000 precious stones, of which 2,900 are diamonds. | It is said to be worth nearly $2,000,000, Among its gems is the “Lesser Star of Africa,” a diamond weighing 309 carats. The Black Prince's ruby, ‘one of the most famous stones on earth, is also in this crown, as is the huge sapphire that was once thought to have magic powers to cure | disease. , The King will hold in one hand the “or a ball of gold six Inches Across and circled by two wide crossbands of jewels. A beautiful gemmed crot surmounts the orb. The whole ball contains several hundred magnificent pearl besides countless diamonds, emeralds, rusies and sapphires, The “wedding ring of England," a gold circlet with a cross on its oblong signet, will be placed on the King's fourth finger as part of the ceremony, When Queen Victoria was crowned a blunder was made tn having this rins's hoop barely large enough to fit her Ittle finger. ‘The yishop of Canterbury te- fused to put the ring on that finger, but insieted upon Jamming It down upon the Queen's forefinger, This caused her intolerable anguish, but she made no sign to show how cruelly she was suffering. | Another’ article of the regalia 1s the Ampulla—a receptacte for the @acred olive oll.

This custom was dropped many years ago.
