Forty fatal street accidents last month make a total of 141 persons killed by vehicles in the streets of the city since Jan. 1. Of the forty victims during July automobiles and motor- cycles killed 26. In presenting these figures the National Highways Proteo- tive Society points out that the number of street fatalities in Manbattan for July was the lowest on record for ffve years. Bus Brooklyn showed a marked increase, particularly in the . Bumber killed by motor cars. Which goes to show: (1) That the activities of the safety societies are checking reckless auto driving in the most dan- gerous districts, and (2) that such efforts deserve the widest encouragement and extension. +> —__ HAS HE TURNED TIMID?

One day, as they were stroli- ing through a cemetery near her Providence home, he suddenly seized her hands, and, with tears rolling down his face, exclaimed: “Helen! I love, now—NOW—for the first and only time!” ‘ (Shades of poor little Virginia who for so many years had meekly en- dured starvation, sorrow, and unbroken ill luck for love of hi Mrs, Whitman probably cared for Poe. It is certain were legion)—smug hack writers wno envied his greatness—all these and dozens of others buried Mrs. Whitman ufder an avalanche of warnings and appeals. They pointed out to her Poe's poverty, his wildly eccentrie moods, the fascination he unconsciously exerted over all women, the fact of light wine made him crazy drunk. A sam, of thie sentiment is seen in the following letter (written in January, 1849, to De, Griswold) by Horace Greeley—from whom Poe had once borrowed $60, which he was never able to repay: “Do you know Sarah Helen Whitman? Of course, you have heard ft rumored that she is to marry Poe. Well, she has seemed to me a good girt, and—you know what Poe is. Now, I know that a widow of doubtful age will marry almost any sort of a white man, But this seems to me a terrible ¢onjunction, Has Mrs. Whitman no friend that can faithfully explain Pee to her? (I never attempted this sort of thing but once; and the net result was two enemies and the hastening of the marriage).” The warnings scared Mrs, Whitman. Her loyalty to Poe wavered. She Should he drink again within a specified time the match was to be off. Should he remain sober until a certain date, that date was to be the wedding day. In short, Poe was “put on probation;* @ position irksome to any man, and tenfold so to Poe's highstrung nature. ‘Without waste of time he proceeded to get drunk; and Mrs. Whitman ended the engagement. A few months later he died; but not of a broken heart. Friends of the poet gave a different version of the engagement’s rup- ture. According to their story, Poe was already be- ginning to tire of his elderly sweetheart, even before she put him on probation. Seeing an easy way to free himself from her he purposely got very thoroughly and very noisily drunk; and in that state went to @ literary reception, where he had arranged meet her. ‘The plan worked out to perfection, Modern Russia’s Founder.
