This time his bullet, meant for the Mayor, | encceedad only in inflicting painfal but fortunately not serious injury on another pablic official. Thankfulnese for Mayor Mitohel’s escupe is mingled with sympathy for Corporation Counsol | Polk, who was in the path of the missile. 4 As for the would-be sessesin, it remains to determine how far, he can be held responsible for his deed. Who can say what broodings, | what fancied wrongs, what crezy tumult in a muddled brnin led to the shot in front of the City Hal?

OOD NEWS to the city is Health Commissioner Goldwater's | announcement that he has reconsidered hie intention to close the public floating baths. | Following The Evening World's urgeut plea for the thousands whose only chance for comfort and cleanliness during hot weather is| plenty of bathing, the Commissioner promises that private and public | baths shall be open, as usual this summer—with higher ‘sonitary etandarde. “I bave regarded with deep respect The Kvoning World's erusade to keep the public bathing places open,” says Dr. Gold- water, “I bave no protest to make if the water used In the | tanks can be purified and freed from bacteria.” i It is now up to the Board of Mealth to determine how inclosed | tanks ond filtration plants may be effectively and economically usal. Dr. Goldwater’s suggestion that shower baths be installed at bathing places, and that every bather be required to take s shower before going into the public tank, is worth considering. To shut off the only bathing facilities of thousands of people is one thing. To improve the conditions under which they bathe is quite another. The Health Commissioner will have cordial support for any plan that leaves the baths what they should be—open invitations to clean) and healthy living. _—_— ‘The disastrous lodging-house fire on the west sid which eleven persons were burned to death, ought to be a grim warning to proprietors and janitors of similar old-style board- ing houses throughout the city. This fire started in the cellar in a pile of old boxes and excelaior stowed away at the bottom of a stairwell. The flainca rushed up the well as through a chimney fluo, cutting off all eecape by the stairways. Careless disposition of inflammable rubbish becomos dgubty criminal in old-fashioned houses which are not even partially lreproof. In the spring, when people clean house OF move, am unusual quantity of refuse is left lying about in cellars.

Conditions which led to the passing of this law, the efforts of & womsn inspector in the Department of Labor to whom the reform is largely due, aud the measures which must be taken to enforce it in this city, are discussed in The Sunday World Magazine to-morrow.
