Senator Edward r. Reilly. the father Of
the Saturday Half Holiday law, said yester.
day, as he was boarding a train for ALBANY.
4" Gov. Hill wishes TO do what is right, and I
am sure that if the workingmen and WORKING.
women Of this State should arise in their
might and ask him to veto the Walker bill.
which limits the law to four months in tho
year, he will yield to their wishes.
1.-The Governor is the friend of the wape-
workers. lie wants to know if the amend
ment is favored or opposed by the majority
of the toilers and he will act accordingly.
I" The working people should deluge him
with protests and petitions against the sign.
ing of the Walker Summer bill. Labor
unions throughout the State should take &C.
ton. The Governor will have to veto or sign
the bill before next Tuesday, and there
should be nc delay in sending petitions to
Albany"
The EVENING WORLD has received mora
than fifteen thousand signatures of people
who protest against the Governor signing the
June, July, August and September amend
ment to the law. 90
This list of signatures has been received
since Friday, and there is no doubt that il
will be increased to 10000 names within the
next day or two.
Letters continue to pour into The EVEN
ING WORLD Office thanking the paper for the
fight that it is making against any change in
the law enacted for the beneit of the poor.
and as against the mighty power of the rich
corporations Here are some of the letters

William Frank, of 80 Nassau street, writes.
" Enclosed | send you a petition bearing six

THE L D ESTATE.

The large estate of the late SAMUEL j.
TILpEs is as attractive to claimants as the
Treasury surplus is to the Congressional
raiders.
DR.. SIMMONS, who was the physician of
the dead statesman, is suing the estate for q
modest little bill of $40. 900!
Why the doctor didn't make it an even
quarter of q million is one of those things
that can only be guessed at.
Between will contests and suits the execu-
ton of the Trust which Mr.. TILpEN intended
for the benefit of New York seems a very re-
mote possibility. How much wiser it is for
rich men to be the executors of their own
estates, the almoners of their own benevo-
lence.

A REASONABLE REQUEST.

A committee of the women of Brooklyn
has waited upon Mayor CHAPLIN and asked
for the appointment Of SOM representatives
Of their sex Upon the Board of Education.
1t is q just and reasonable request and
should be unhesitatingly granted. Five
sixths of all the training that young children
get out of school is given them by their
mothers. Nearly all the school teachers are
women. What an anomalous absurdity,
of the race representation upon the Board
that directs the schools.
Brooklyn is too enlightened and pro-
Rressive a city to fall behind the procession
in this matter.

MAKING BURGLARY DANGEROUS,

Judge MARTINE's sentence of the two young
boodlum burglars TO thirty years in Sing
Sing will strike many people as too severe.
But their offense was rank-burglarizing q
store and robbing the owner while a pistol
was thrust in his mouth. Had the victim
resisted, no doubt he would have been killed,
as several citizens have been killed by these
desperate criminals within the past few years.
A burglar who enters an inhabited build
ing armed with q deadly weapon goes pre-
pared and resolved to take human life If
necessary to effect his escape. He is moro
guilty of murder than are many who kill in
the heat of sudden passion.
Judge MARrNE's severity ought to have q
nlutary effect.

they escaped with their lives. Banta was
thrown clean across the street, and
found himself landed on tho op-
posite curbstone. Strange to say, he escaped
with only some severe bruises on his back
and shoulders. But his limbs were not
broken, although tho skin was torn badly
from his body.
The others we're not 10 fortunate. Martins
leg was broker between the knee and the
ankle. Lynch's leg was also broken below
the hip. A piece Of the coping which was
broken off came tearing down through the
awning and struck Thomas Bowling, of En-
CINE Company No. 30, on his knee-cap. It
was broken into bits, and although this may
not seem q fatal accident, he died at Cham
bers Street Hospital. to which he and the
other men were removed in an ambulance.
A peculiar accident befell q man in the
neighborhood at the time of the explosion.
An insurance company's patrol was passing
in front of the building. carrying n cover on
his shoulders. He was struck by a falling
fragment or something hurled out by the
tremendous force of the explosion, and the
tendon above his heel was torn away. He
was lamed for life. He cannot use that leg.
At present he drives Supt. Halls wagon.

PROF.. l..

PROF. l.. PObNER. IN one OF the military
hospitals. He still devotes himself to pro-
fessional duties in the surgical line, being a
chiropodist as we'll as q barber. His office
adjoins his barber shop.
He came TO this country in Is4s and six
years later established the first Russian bath
in New York. It was too much of q novelty
for tho citizens of that generation, who did
not take as kindly to new-fangled ideas then
as they do now. and the experiment proved
q failure. The place was closed after two
years.
In 1861. however. he made another attempt,
and fitted up u fine bath in Bavard street.
which was more successful. 1t was literally
paronized by the foreign as well astne Amer
loan citizens, and the Rev. Bishop Hughes,
by the advice of his physician was one of the
regular patrons of the establishment.
Although he spent only $40, 900 In erecting
this bath, II was in those days considered as
gorgeous an affair as some of the 5000, 900
establishments Of the present time. Prof.
Posner therefore prides himself on being the
grandfather of the Russian bath business in
this country.
Meanwhile, in both instances, Prof. Pos
ner had conducted a barber shop in connec-
ton with his other business, and in the in
teryal after the failure of the first venture he
had established a shop in the Old Shake
speare, n famous downtown resort for sport
ing men, politicians and journalists of for
mer days. He also for many years had a shop
in Chatham street. near Sweeney's Hotel,
which was frequented by many prominent
men of the day.
