A taxicab starter, wearing the livery of the Hotel Knickerbocker, ‘was fined $10 in the Jefferson Market Court yesterday for interfering with @ hotel patron in his selection of « taxicab. The patron in quee- | tion wae s man of means who owns a car of hie own. He did not ‘Choose, however, to take one of the high-priced taxicabs of the com- ‘pany which holds the Knickerbocker concession. ‘The starter threw ‘the guest’s valise into one of these hotel cabs. Only by resolute in- ‘sistence in the face of abuse was the latter able to resoue his bag and take the cheaper cab of his choice. : “Tt seems a question nowedays,” said Magistrate Cornell in im- posing the fine, “if « citizen has the privilege of taking a cab of his gn choice in front of « public building which hes a cab stand con- ion.” i A question to be epeedily settled once and for all. A hotel pro- Prietor has « perfect right to maintain or hire « private cab eervice with whatever exorbitant rates he may choose to permit. But has he any right whatever to cay that » guest shall not call any public sab operating at licensed rates and get into ittat his door? To whom do the streets belong? James B. Regan, proprietor of the Hotel Knickerbocker, is doubt- ‘tess a highly influential citizen. It would be interesting to measure that influence. Complaints concerning Mr. Regan and his hotel are -apt to get lost, 00 it is said, in the multifarious business of the Police “Department. The season is singularly good for following up trails old and new. There are a great many footprints at the corner of Forty-second street and Broadway. “Calmness and carelessness—those are the great virtues the Americans haven't got,” says an English clergyman. Has he ever seen a New York Board of Aldermen dallying with a measure of vital public interest? et A WORD TO THE BARBERS. PATE quickest way for the striking barbers to ruin their cause is to indulge in silly talk calculated to alarm the public. Until they resorted to rioting and violence people in general ‘were not unsympathetic. If the barbers have grievances the public ‘would be glad to see them get a fair hearing. Barbers’ hours are Yong. Reasonable working time and « seventh day of rest do not em extravagant demands. #4. But he must be a hot-headed berber indeed who does not see flee folly of such talk as the arrivel of Ettor has excited: “We'll have ‘g Teal strike now and make it unsafe to get shaved in New York,” is the latest barber's slogan. , Has anybody forgotten how public feeling turned against tho ‘striking waiters in this city when, under the influence of misguided ‘Veaders, they threatened to “make it unsafe to eat food in hotel res- “tenrante”? “S> If the calling in of professionals like Ettor and Tresca is inva- ‘gably to result in throwing power into the hands of the most violent, idensible strikers had better manage their own strikes. We recom- mend the barbers to do with less skilled advice. pe Seana as ‘ The Stock Exchange brokers think they might a2 well call May 34 an extra holiday, What do a few extra holidays matter, with ihe lambs so coy and wary? 4 SS | HARD-HEARTED NEW YORKERS. BERTEW YORK contains more loneliness and unneighborlincss o N than any place I have ever struck,” says a clergyman. He trots out the old story of the New Yorker who hadn’t ‘beard of his boyhood friend for twenty years until he reed in a newspaper the notice of his death. The friend had lived and died in the flat above. ; These things do happen. New York is something of a thickly populated desert. The man who sees » hundred thousand strange “faces every dey is not as expansive as one who sees only twenty or thirty. The dweller in this big city wears a garment of reticence that is often a necessary armor. ,. But in time of trouble he does not show up so badly. On a focal, train full of city people one evening this week a young man ropped unconscious in the aisle of « crowded car. It proved to be a fatal heart attack. There was little that could be done. Rut no one who saw the scene will ever forget the quiet, kindly helpfulness of that crowd of strangers. There was no excitement, no gaping curiosity, no hysteria. One or two women turned their faces away, but remained perfectly quiet. A doctor was hurried to the spot from qnotiercar. As many as were necded helped him. The others staod back und saw to it that space and air were not lacking. When it was evident that nothing more could aveil they quietly discussed the arrangements, and two volunteered to take charge of the ‘bedy when the train reached the station. It was an admirable instance of cool, capable, kindly service from ‘gm average city crowd. The New Yorker may not go out of his way to fuss over his neighbors. All the same he can lend a steady hand a ee “An elegant, fireproof, modern apartment” (90 the sign sald), not yet ready for occupancy, went up in smoke in Brooklyn, Spon- oy taneous combustion of conscience, perhaps.

NO. 23.—CHARLES O’ MALLBY; by Charles Lever. my HARLES O'MALLEY was the nephew and ward of Godfrey O'Malley, the impoverished, dashing old master of O'Malley Castle in Galway, Ireland. At seventeen, Charles was six feet tall, a crack shot, a perfect horseman and an all-‘round athlete— | and had the education of a modern primary echool child. He was eent by his unol the house of a distant relative, Matthew Blake, to gain Blake's Blake's he met Gen. Dashwood and the latter's daughter, Lucy. With Lacy | the youth proceeded to fall very violently im love. And at once he eon- | ceived a bitter hatred for Capt. Hammersley, a far older man, who was also her suitor. ~ | Charles eased his feelings a bit by beating Hammereley in @ ores | country ride, But a chance remark from Lucy turned his vo | triumph into gloom. She said she would marry only a soldier. Hammersley was a soldier. And Charles O'Malley wae destined by his | family to be @ mere lawyer. At once he resolved if possible to go into the army. Charles's stay at Blake's house was shortened by a silly quarrel. The Bey 80 far forgot himeelf as to throw a wine glass at the head A Bo of Mr, Bodkin, a fellow guest, because of a supposedly First slighting remark made by the latter about the O’Malleys. Bodkin, who was a renowned duelist, challenged |Charles to mortal combat. And Charles promptly shot him through the body. leaving him on the field for dead. Soon afterward Charles was #0 lucky as to save Laicy's life. Her father, i: gratitude, persuaded Godfrey to let the boy enter the army, and secured fo {him a commission in a cavalry regiment. Before joining his regiment Charles managed to let Lucy know of his love though he was left in miserable doubt as to whether or not it was returned. Then he set sail for Portugal, where the Peninsular war between England and Napoleon Bonaparte's French armies was raging. Then began an era of fighting, of gatety, of peril, of intrigue. The reckless young Irishman was in his element. Battles, wounds, hairbreadth escapes fol lowed each other in ewift succession, and he rose, by sheer gallantry, to th rank of captain. . Also, in leisure moments he found time to make rather desperate love to « Portuguese beauty named Ines—although at heart he cared only for Lucy Dash wood, This passing infidelity brought its own punishment. For Lucy learned of the filrtations and, belleving Charles was no longer worthy of her, showe’ clearly her contempt for him. Her father, too, became his enemy. ‘The war over, Charles returned to Ireland where his uncle's death made the young man master of O'Malley castle. There, occupying himself by bulldin:: vp the shattered family fortunes, he lived as a recluse, heartsick over the los of Lucy; yet managing to while away the time by a mild Airtation with girl cousin. Then came news of Napoleon's escape from Elba. Charles joined the arm,. | massing at Bi je to repel the Emperor; and he did gallant service in thi” ensuing battle of Waterloo, Captured by the French on the day befere th ‘vattle, Charles found means to escape. But he gave up his chance of liberty in order to free Gen. Dashwood, who had also been made prisoner. Charles himeelf was reecued in time to take part in the great confitet, and to lead a charge, side by side with Hammersiey. Ham. mersley was alain, but O’Malley came out of the jaws of death unecathed. His first thought was to find Lucy Dashwood 1o seek once more to win her love. This time he was successtul. Her fatir. grateful for Charles's service to him, consen-ed to the match, Charles O'Malley's adventures and daredevil expoits were over. The former “fire-eater” settled down happily to the life of an Irish country gentleman.
