N° so long ago that anybody has forgotten it New York made «NO. 18,997 a great to-do over minimizing its noise. Does it consider the job done? A letter from an Evening World reader complaining that neither the Health Department nor the Public Service Commission have heeded his appeals on the subject of a noisy derrick which keeps him awake nights affords merely another instance of what New Yorkers are expected to suffer in the way of needless wear and tear on the nerves, That work, particularly subway work, must go on at night is, of course, as true as that street cars and clevated trains must move and make » certain amount of noise. But does any one believe that a contractor ever thinks of planning his work or greasing his gear with a view to lessening the racket at night, any more than the strect railway companies deem it worth while to oil their curves and switches? In many parts of the city the peculiar piercing screech that comes | from the wheels of trolley car or elevated train grating over a dry switch is almost incessant, ‘Thousands of workers in the vicinity are kept all day in a more or less unconscious state of tense nervous resistance. It is one of the most hideous and trying of noises. A bucket of graphite would stop it. How many of these same workers go home at night only to be kept awake by similar noiscs that ordinary care could largely reduce? Despite efforts of the anti-noise crusaders, the fact remains that the city is as full of unnecessary noise-nuisances, of which squeaking curves on the street railways are at once the worst and the most easily remedied, but concerning which neither the Department of Health nor the Public Service Commission seem inclined to give themselves &@ moment’s worry. Why talk and protest and still be the noisiest city on earth? ——_--—___ Murphy and his City Committee never even mentioned the Mayor's name. The shock of hearing that folks speak ill of us is gothing to that of learning that they never speak of us at all, ee THE ONLY WAY. NE by one the taxicab companies have seen the light and de- O cided to comply with the law. The Bureau of Licenses reports that 1,500 taxicabs have been inspected and licensed to oper- ate at the new rates. Even one of the bitterest opponents of the ordinance, the second largest company in the city, has hastened to have its 150 cabs examined and its chauffeurs supplied with badges and certificates. It willgnow seck to earn its dividends by giving the public honest service at honest rates. If any measure had been needed of the astounding degree io| which the taxicab companies arrogantly assumed themselves above ! the laws that govern ordinary business, the new ordinance, as it gets | thoroughly to work, is supplying it. In the name of common sense what is a public taxicab? Upon whom does it depend for its existence? Why should taxicab proprie- tors be above competing for public favor and confidence any more than anybody elee who tries to supply a public need? A taxicab is not a patented luxury, nor an imported rarity. Neither is it a bene- faction. It is part of « plain, everyday service and must go after ite business as such. ——__—__<4-—___. ? “1 am glad my husband has the nomination if he is glad. he will win if he wants to win."—Words of a candidate's wife, How quaint and mediaeval! —_——-____ A SHOCK FOR THE GAMBLERS. T LOOKS ao if somebody had actually found a way to make the | police less popular with patrons of gambling houses, ‘The average man who goes to these places, though custom calls him a “gam- Bler,” is by no means the nervy, devil-may-care person people think him. In nine cases out of ten he haunts the game only becauso he believes he can do it on the quiet, with no worse risk than the chance of an occasional old-fashioned raid conducted by genial policemen, who obligingly smash the furniture and worry the proprietor while the players slip away, But to be escorted to his own house by a busi- nesslike bluecoat, who may insist upon calling on the folke and dis- fussing the family pedigree, doesn’t appeal to him at all. If the game means being ticketed as a public gambler, with one’s name on file and the certainty of being obliged either to Perjure one’s self or Giveaway the whole plant, then it isn’t worth the candle. No gambler can stand being taken seriously by the police, Thom Letters From the People ‘Wants to Mu: ‘The Chestnut fi be ‘Wo the Rattor of The Evening Wor!

PRIMROSE was a gentle, unworldly old clergyman with a some what silly wife and six children. He thought all the rest of mankind was as good and as trustworthy as himself. He was destined to know better—or worse. A merchant to whom the clergyman had entrusted the management of | his fortune absconded, leaving the Primroses on the verge of poverty and forced to give up their big house. They moved far into the country and rented a cottage from Squire Thornhill, a local celebrity. Squire Thornhill had almost no money in bis own right, but was dependent on his uncle, Sir William Thornhill, en eccentric philanthropist, who let the young man handle the estates end have all the cash he wanted. The Squire was utterly unworthy of such trust, though neither his uncle nor the Primroses suspected it Squire Thornhill made much of his new tenants, flattering Dr. Prim- rose and doing a thousand little favors for the whole family. ‘Thus it came as a shock, a8 well as a heartbreaking grief, to them all when the Squire cloped with Olivia, the eldest of the Primrose Onn dauisthitors, A Series of An odd old fellow nained Burchell, whe had thrust Misfortunes.

But she could not bear to remain among people who knew her secret, And onve more she went away, Misfortunes now came thick and fast, ‘The Primroxes' rented cottage burned to the ground, destroying the gather's books and furniture and ali his savings, Then Thornhill, whom Dr. Primrose sought to punish for his treatment of Olivia, had the clergyman arrested for debt and thrown into prion.

Geor, ‘a 's fate, had hurried from his distant regimental quarters and had challenged ‘Thornhill to mortal combat, Thornhill's servants had beaten him and the Squire had caused his arrest for the serious crime of fssuing a diel challenge, And now, after the manner of the story of Job, the luck took a sudden shift.
