A GRIM REMINDER. VOLUME 53... IMED with singular dramatic effect, the shooting of “Big Jack” | Zelig, notorious gangster and gunman, close “pal” of the men accused of the murder of Rosenthal, on the very eve of the trial in which the dead man was to have figured as an im- portant witness, gives new and perhaps not undesirable stimulus to in- terest in the larger case. Even though the killing of Zclig prove to have been a matter of private revenge distinct from the underground ramifications of criminal and police interests involved in the Rosenthal affair, still the death of “Big Jack” has flashed a ghastly light upon the organized band of tools and pals in which he moved and ruled— those desperate prowlars of the night whom the half-revelations of the Rosenthal shooting have made the city so eager to grapple with. That Zelig was shot by @ man whom the gangster had black- jacked and robbed is, if true, merely in character and not particularly significant. But the angry disappointment of a ravenous gang of Zelig’s followers at the disappearance from the dead man’s clothes of five hundred one dollar bills which they declare he carried as the usual Saturday night graft-collection to be distributed among his wolfish pack, affords a startling glimpse of the underworld instrument: ailable for such jobs as the murder of a Rosenthal. The “gang* filing past the dead body with uncovered heads, vowing vengeance for the death of their leader, is a grim and significant picture. So is that other evil procession of visitors to the morgue, enemies of th: dead man, any one of whom might have done the deed they hurric: to gloat over. ; : But more signi ie tone of the letters from his pals ir the Tombs—“Gyp,” “Frank,” “Leftie’ and Whitey—found in th: gunman’s pockets. ‘These letters reveal extraordinary confidence in Zelig’s power to smooth things over for the accused men, Each and every one of the imprisoned four jokes with a knowing leer about the “good vacation” and “fattening up” he is getting, expresses cheerfi, certainty that “Zel” can do more for them than all the lawyers, and plans parties for Christmas. These men are neither children nor fools. Crime as a profess:o: in New York has had their shrewdest observation and study. Upon what ground of experience or knowledge did they rest their faith i: the power of “Big Jack” Zelig? ‘lo what mysterious, half-defincd dealings between the powers that prey and the powers that should punish does the jaunty assurance of such men point? is These questions which the Rosenthal murder caused to blaze for: in letters of fire have begun to pale and burn out in the weeks tha‘ have since elapsed. It may not be without good results in the en that, as the curtain rises upon a trial involving one of the graves! police ecandals in the history of New York, the murder of this notori- ons gangster startles a fickle public attention to concentrate anew upon the diagnosis and cure of a ghastly poison in our city life. ener emreneienetmnenn HOEING CLUBS FOR L.|I. HE boys of Long Island are to be lured into the delights of I farming, to the end that the youth and the soil of the ninety mile garden strip behind Brooklyn may flourish and prosper together. The Long Ieland Agronomist, backed by the Long Island Railroad, announces that it will found three clubs—o Corn Club, a Cauliflower Club and a Potato Club. Any Long Island boy who will not be twenty-one before Dec. 1, 1913; gnay become a member of one of these clubs. Dues nothing, eements ditto, other charges the same. The member agrees to cultivate one acre of land and to furnish for exhibition next fall twenty-four ears of corn, husked, and five average cornstalks, or one bushel of potatoes or twelve heads of cauliflower, according to the club he elects to join. Prizes of $50, $25 and $10 will be awarded in each club, and the winner may have his exhibit entered at the New York Land Show, and so stand a chance of national honors. Such a contest ought to be good for the boys, good for tho soil—and New York will be happy to stick a knife and fork inio some of the second-best vegetables. Tong Island is already a wou- Jerful garden, but there is still lots of room, and even a selfish, soul- loss railroad corporation need not be barred from having a try for the glories of the two-blades-of-grass-instead-of-one miracle.

In one year an avalanche of more than $0,000 men poured into California, ‘Then followed the treasure hunting orgy. Nuggets of gold ranging in valu@ trom $1 to $20,000 aplece were found. Men often averaged $500 for a single dgy's wort in the mines. River beds were scoured and mountains ripped open. In one year of California's history no less than $85,000,000 worth of gold was mined. In-July, 189, fully 600 ahipe idle in San Francisco Bay. Their crews had deserted te @ Ddody to join the gold hunt. It was the strangest era perhaps in all history.

But again the sturdy strength and the calm wisdom that underlay all thie excitement came to the front. Gradually, but steadily, the effervescence sube aided, and out of turmoil grew a mighty State.
