RESH DELAY on the part of the up-State Public Service Com- mission in ordering an appraisal of the New York Telephone | Company’s property preparatory to a reduction of rates is an imposition upon patience already sorely tried. | The Commission has been deadlocken for weeks and now talks of waiting until hold-over members have retired and new ones take | their place. Why? The Commission as now constituted is perfectly capable of handling promptly any business before it. Why should it put off a day longer the relief that is due the people of this city? ‘What fo the $100,000 or even $200,000 that the appraisal may cost compared to the hage sums extorted from New York telephone users in qxcess charges rolling up at the rate of $17,000 for every twenty-four hearse the present rates continue. It is two months since the Commission pledged iteclf to secure the readjustment of telephone tolis for which, with the support of | scores of organizations and citizens’ committees, The Evening World | made ite fight. The public has cvery right to demand that the Commission keep ite word and act promptly without further shilly shally. Order the appraisal. Waste no more time, but mark for the knife the exorbitant telephone tariff by which New Yorkers are daily being robbed. — 7 In @ Bowery battle between four detectives and four eafe- blowers thirty-two shote were fired, tho thieves were captured and nobody even hit.

EW YORKERS can hardly complain if the 1 o’clock closing rule for restaurants ie enforced so long as it remains a law of the city. The shut-eye policy applied to bona fide ordi- nances leads inevitably to abuses and unseemly strotches of license by restaurant and resort proprietors who cannot be trusted to keep up standards of decency and restraint. On the other hand there can be little objection to an extension of late hour licenses to restaurants, cabarets and dance halls which lows regard for order, If the all-night license were made the reward of a good reputation, proprietors might see less use in keeping up dis- orderly beck rooms and underground dives. In any case it is better thet people who want to dance or feast after 1 o’clock should have means of doing it lawfully rather than with the feeling that they are breaking the law with the connivance of the peice, ——— Mebody wants to walk in the middle of the street just now, goodness knows!

About this time the ladies of high degree grew tired of the inconspicuous hoods and veils they had been wearing from time immemorial and blos- somed out into a curious horn-shaped headdress called the “hennin.” necessitated the wearing of great pads of false hair, and on the top was fastened with a long vell which often nin" was more a headdress than a hat, as it had to be rearranged each time it was. worn, It was woman's love of sport that finally forced her to adopt the mas- culine hat In the time of Queen Elizabeth we find the ladies wearing plumed hats of velvet, taffeta or sar- senet, exactly like the men's, But these were oriy donned for riding, hunting or hawking. For ordinary wear they had a sort of hood with lappets. This was the opening wedge that gradually forced the hood into background, Hi became larger and more en- ticing and women decided to wear them on all occasions. So the men in self-defense, to distinguish their hats from those of their sisters and wives, commenced to “cock” them or turn up the brims in different ways. There wore the military, the hunting, the legal, the mince pile, the steeple, the spout hats, &o, and finally, by looping up equally the cay and ays tolany, while the tan three sides, the cocked hat which was worn throughout the eighteenth century was evolved, And since that day the ladies’ hats have run the gamut from small to| ty large every year or so and are btill doing it, nothil for the man who pa! +t may really are, onechiag “4 them, And when you come to the countries The world got along very well with- out hats for tho sands of years, The earliest form of head dovering was undoubtedly the hood.

From Hugo's “‘Les Miserables.” EVEN wagons were driving in a file along the road. The first siz were singularly constructed, They resembied coopers’ draye. Tney consisted of long ladders placed on two wheels and forming ber- rows at rear extremities. Each dray, or rather, let us say, each ‘was attached to four horses harnessed tandem. On these clusters of men were being draw Twenty-four each twelve on @ side, back to back, facing the passersby, thelr legs had something which clanked and which mething which shone and which was an {ron collar, Hach man had his collar, but the chain was for all; eo that if these four-and-twenty men had occasion to alight from the dray and walk they were seized with a sort of inexorable unity and were obliged to wind over the ground with the chain for a backbone, somewhat after the fashion of millepeds. On the back and front of each vehicle two men armed with muskets stood erect, each holding one end of the chi under his boot. The & huge rack-sided baggare Wagon without a hood, had four wheels and six horaes and carried a sonor- ous ptle of tron boilers, cast-iron pots, braziers and chains, among which were mingled several men who were pinioned and stretched out full length and who seemed to be ill. These vehicles kept to the middle of tho road. On each side marched a double hedge of guards of infamous aspect. All sorts of distress met in this procession, in chaos. Hore were to be found the facial angle of every sort of beast, old men, youths, bald heads, gray beards, cyni monstrosities, sour resignation, savage grins, eensc- less attitude, sno! surmounted by caps, heads like those of young girle with corkecrew cu: the temples, infantile visages, and, by reason of that, horrible thin skeleton faces in which death alone was lacking. The | frightful leveller from below, shame, had passed over these brows. There was no choice possible between these men, who appeared to the eye as the flower of the mud. It was evident that the person who had hud the order- ing of that unclean procession had not classified them. These beings had been fettered and coupled pell-mell, in alphabetical disorder probably, and loaded haphazard on these carts. Nevertheless, horrors, when grouped together, always end by evolving a result. All additions of wretched men give & sum total; each chain exhaled a common soul, and each dray load had ite own physiognomy. By the side of the one where they were singing wae one where they were howling, a third wheré they were gnashing their teath; | Another load menaced the spectators; another blasphemed God; the last was | as silent as the tomb.

Cogette was no less terrified, but in a different way. She did not under- stand; what she beheld did not seem to her to be possible; at length she said, “Father, what are those men in those carts?” Jean Valjean replied: “Convicts.” “Whither are they going?” “Yo the galleys.” Just a Collection Of Timely “Don’ts” By Sophie Irene Loeb.
