sss2a4ASs--sHss ss1sHess.

NEW YORK, September 10, 1876.
EDITOR CHIEF;
The temperance organizations are
distributing tracts showing the cost
of rum to the city with q view OF
awakening deeper interest in the
fight they are making against it. The
total number of arrests i'll the city for
the quarter ending Sept. 1 was Is 493.
OF these the number tlnceable directly
to rum was 1900! Probably half
the remainder could be traced indi-
rectly to rum, but it issafe to say that
four r-fftlls of the enormous police force
required to keep the peace in the city,
owe their employment to rum, and
ninety per cent. of the crimes and
casualties can be traced to the same
cause. With these figures before onS
it is no wonder that the public demand
its regulation, at all events, and ex
tinction if possible.
The look of the Hale factory fire
grows worse and worse. 1t has been
shown that the enormous building,
eight stories high, and filed from
cellar to garret with the most intlam-
mable material, was entirely nnpro-
vided with means of escape. Water
could not be drawn on the fourth
story, and there was not only no hose
for the extinguishment of fire, but no
fire buckets even The worknen were
compelled to bring their drinking g
water from the third story conse-
qnently when the fire broke ont amor !
the varnishes and seasoned lnmbc
there were no means of checking i !.
and hundred men and women pei
ished in the flames. But Mr. bale
will get his insurance on his burned
buildings and stock, and will put up
another just such 4 trap.
Speaking Of Hale, it is a fact that
though his was one of the largest
piano factories in the world, he never
made a piano that bore his name.
His business was building bogus
pianos, forging as nearly as he could
the names of reputable makers. Thus
he would put out piano under the
name of steinmay & Sons" which
an ignorant or careless person would
purchase supposing it to be il Stein
way. The Weber pianos he would
brand as " Weber," and so on through
the whole List ef respectable laak, RS.
He has been prosecuted time and
again, bnt he always managed to. just
keep out of the clutches of the law.
There are q great many of these
