BTECTIVES in thie city, following the trail of an absconding D cashier by the money he dropped or burned along the way, are reported io have found a band of young men and young women who live by enticing fools to separate themselves from their money somewhat more speedily than they otherwise would. The female members of the band belong, of course, to that much com- | miserated company known to law and philanthropy as “White Slaves.” Their slavery is manifest by the jewels they wear, and their forced and painful task is to induce dupes to give them more. { In the special case under review the White Slave obtained fine lodgings, motor cars, jewels, rich apparel and much money for hereelf, while her associates ehared with her in further loot. The plundered | cashier appears to have had no chance at all either for his money or his flame. Yet had he crossed the State line with his Slave he could have been brought to condign punishment as a cruel and treacherous detrayer of innocence, and probably would have been. He is fortun- | ate in that thns far he has been accused of nothing worse than rob- ding his employers, an ordinary crime. He was in danger of being a “MONSTER.” 2+: THE HUSTLER AND THE DORMANT TIGER. AD rene « company of his supporters at the Hotel Im- perial, Mr. McCall complained of what he called “untruthful | assertions” about Tammany. After saying Tammany “has | lefn dormant too long,” he declared an intention to go after the authors, adding: “I am something of a hustler when I get started.” ‘We have here compactgd a proclamation, programme and « picture. The Tiger is dormant, the hero is hustler, the landecapo fe a jungle whereof all the paths are sinuoue—and the hero is going to wake the Tiger.” - ‘A dormant Tammany !s « thing unknown to fame. Rumor has it the animal never eleeps, nor ever shuts ite eyes except when playing possum. These reports may be parts and parcels of the untrathfal assertions to which reference was made, but a wide and general belief in‘them is good evidence of their essential conformity to facts. If, therefore, Mr. McCall the hustler thinks or thinks he thinks that Tammany was dormant when it nominated him, he had best bethink himself again. Should he by a misfortune common to him and to his fellow-citizens be elected, he will find the Tiger wide-awake and hungry. * nl THE FIGHT FOR LITERARY FREEDOM. Acumen support from literary men has rallied to the defense of a publisher charged with selling a novel offensive to the taste of Anthony Comstock, and perhaps of some others. The issue at stake is much larger than the fortunes of the book in question. It is an ieme of liberty in the domain of literature. ‘The problem treated in the book is one of current interest.

They point ont that while a large portion of Washington Heights is already park property, the city has not given to that section the civic and municipal improvements and conveniences the residents have a right to expect. Frame buildings are used for school houses, classes are overcrowded and in some localities electricity 4s not fur- nished for lighting. There are other parts of the city equally lecking {n these respects. Tt would be well to right some of these deficiencies of the present generation before establishing more parks for posterity. Schools and lights and good streets are needed to-day, ond the Fort George prop erty is not going to fly off.
