Wife Kissing in Various Cities

Kansas City is all torn up A,shs
question whether a>mx6 may kias
his wife in public, and, u 20, undsr
just what circumstances. ItappeasS
chat q prominent physician Of that.
city kissed his wife at the theater, and,
themanagement, fearing the influence
of such an example, had him taken
out of the building by a policeman,
says The Philadelphia Inquirer. Al
a result the whole subject has come
up as one of vital Importance, and
there is great uncertainty as to the
decision.
Public opinion in Kansas City
seems to vindicate the manager Of
tho theater in his action, but insists
that it must not he carried too fur.
1t is held that there are certain
circumstances under which O man
may properly kiss his wife in public,
but the line has not yet been drawn.
The subject has excited the attention
OF other cities, which freely offer Kan.
sas City advice as to the properlimit.
Chicagoans think IL man may kiss
his wife in n railway-car without
overstepping the proprieties, but
should not kiss her when parting Mt
putting her on street car. In Den.
yer this is considered very narrow
limitation, although it is agreed
that it must not be done in the thea
ter. In thnt city public sentiment
sustains n man in kissing his wife
anywhere except at church, the thea
ter or in store. There is no limit
placed on the exercise of this coniu-
gal practice on the street.
st Paul, however, looks unkindly
on the whole matter. 1t objects to
u man kissing his wife anywhere
in public, with the possible exception
OF the front doorstep il it is growing
dusk. In strong contrast to this is
the consensus of opinion in Bismark,
now putting on airs as state capi-
tai, that man can kiss his wife
whenever he plrascs, so long as he
!loesii KISS any other mans wife.
This is the limit of liberalism, and
shows the freedom from convention
I'll restraints that nbounds on the
far western pruirics.
SO fnras Philadelphia is sconscerned,
this IL not likely to- become IL burn
ing issue. Philndclphians are not
overgivcn to kissing their wives under
any circumstances, and lew instances
OF it in publicnre ever witnessed. A
man may kiss his wife whenever he
wants to and she will let him, but he
ia not likely to do SD under circum-
stances which will be embarrassing
to either party or distressing to the
public.

America: America is the land of free

larly for the brave Irshmen who come here

country to have around, for when their

Forest Gate, in connection with the White
chapel and Poplar unions, took fire last
night while the inmates were asleep and
was burned, with terrible results, twenty
six of the boys who were in the upper
stories being suffocated before they could
be rescued. Nfty-eight ether boys were
safely taken from the burning building
amid terrible excitement. Two of the
matrons of the institution escaped in safety
by sliding down the water pipes. Several
ofthc boys escaped in the same way. The
superintendent of the school repeatedly
rushed through the flames and brought out
o number of inmates. There were GOO per-
sons in the institution. The bodies of those
who were sufTocated were carried to the
main hall Of the building, which was still
profuscly decorated with Christmas gifts.
Tho fire was caused by an overhcnted stove.
Tho female department, in which were $50
girls, was not touched. The boys retired
last evening in the highest of spirits, having,
been promised presents and New Years
tete to-day.
HERoIsN DISPLAYED.
Thousands of persons, impellcd by Curl
Osity, have visited the scene of the fire to-
day, and the police and attendants were
kept busy in their endcavors to retain suiii-
cient clear space wherein necessary work
might be done. The school was filled with
boys who had been committed to its care
because of their incorrigible habits, and
altogctcr the inmates were of char.
actcr from which little discipline OF
obedience might be expected in moments
when both were imperiously demanded.
As rule, however, the boys yielded readily
to the directions of their superior, and to
this fact is due the safety OF scores who
otherwise would have pcrishcd. or the
twcnty-sX who lost their lives only two
were burned to death, the Others having
been sutlocatcd in their beds. Many of the
latter were aroused with the rest, but be-
came stupeiicd and crawlcd back to their
cots to die. The hero of the occasion was
boy who acted in the capacity of monitor
in the fatal ward, himself boy whose
vicious habits had made him an inmate of
the institution. Through his efforts many
boys were literally driven from the build
ing, and he ceased his work of rcscrling his
fellows only when he was himself driven
out by the flames. Several of his compan-
ions he dragged, unconscious, out of the
windows, while others he carried into the
air in his arms.

The anthracite coal trade has been
quite dull during the past week and ship
pers have been somewhat disappointed
at the scarcity of new orders for coal,
which they anticipated would be forced
INTO market by the recent advance in the
circular prices Tor anthracite. Buyers
appear to be holding back their orders,
hoping the excessive tonnage which is
Delng produced VIII weaken prices. While
prices Tor the standard Goals are being
rather hrmly held, yet there appears to
De less confidence on the part OF buyers
that the larger mining and carrying COM
panies Will continue to adhere so closely
TO their circular figures when they find
an accumulation of coal on their hands.
Ihe actual output of anthracite for the
month OF June was about 100000 tons,
while the quantity of coal which the
managers had agreed to mine was ., $780,
OOO tons, that quantity being thought to
be fully sufficient to satisfy the market
requirements for last month. Earlier in
the season well informed operators were
OF the opinion that the production of
anthracite for this year would not eX-
ceed st, 5O0,0O tons, but indications now
point to tonnage for 1890 of not less
than 81, ,0OO, 600 tons. The actual output
Tor the first half of this year is about
4o,00o tons in excess of that for the first
SIX months of last year, and the present
disposition of several of the anthracite
corporations is further to increase their
tonnage at the expense of prices. This
policy, if pursued, can only end disad-
vantageously to themselves and their
competitors.
The Engineering and Mining Journal,
in its weekly review of the anthracite
trade at New York, says: "There is a
good deal more discussion of the past
and future than of the present condition
OF the hard coal market now that the
summer solstice is almost upon us. AS
matter OF fact, there is very little coal
market to trouble any one. The greater
part of the operators and middlemen are

EDITOR TRIBUNE-Deaa Sir In the

impression is given ont that the drain on
Front St., of which complaint was made
by me and others to the council, was closed
lately. Such is not the case. The drain
was formerly emptied into the gutter
but about two years ago some 80 feet OF
the wooden pipes were taken up by or
der of the council, and the object, nc
doubt, was to force the water back into
our cellars. Since that time nothing
had been done, and the drain now
