in regard to what the Independence Beige
Of Brussels had said about the
Mckinley bill preventing foreigners from
making exhibits at the fair: "Undoubtedly
it would be useless to make an exhibit for
the purpose OF securing purchasers of goods
if it will be impossible to sell
and deliver the goods after the pur-
chasers are found, but there is a
Misrepresentation as to the possible scope
and range of the Mckinley bill-as to the
rate of duties imposed as compared with the
present rate, and also as to the number Of
articles to which it applies.
SIT must be obvious to all that there may
be very wide and important range of ex-
hibits that would not be touched by the
tariff But shall, as soon as get hold of
the law, make full statement in regard to
the matter"

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DIsPATcH.1
NEW YORK, October 2.-The cleo
trical problem gets a thorough prodding
now and then by the New York newspapers
Every time ineman is roasted by the
wires the electrical companies get roasted"
by the press.
Somebody ought to hang for this" said
an indignant bystander in the excited mob
that surrounded the pole on Broadway
when they were taking down the dead and
partially lncinerated body of Lineman
Kopp. 1t is certainly offensive for pleasure
seekers coming out of theater to be con-
fronted with the horrible sight of the dead
body Of fellow creature suspended among
the wires in mldair and with the still more
disagreeable smell of roasting human flesh.
1t is also offensive to metropolitan tastes.
Nobody has been hanged and nobody has
been even indicted for manslaughter on &C.
count of these electrical accidents. Why?
Because in every case of the q fatal aeci
dents, with two or three exceptions, the
cause was found to be in the carelessness of
those who were killed. Leaving out the ex-
ceptions the victims were men who worked
every day among the wires and were fully
acquainted with the dangerous nature OF
their business. The case of Lineman kopp,
who worked at night with his rubber gloves
in his pockets instead OF on his own hands, is
of a piece with most OF those cases that pre-
ceded it.

Equality of the Sexes.

This is special condition, growing out
of an era of colossal fortunes rapidly made
and recklessly spent-out of the necessity,
or opportunity, which makes thousands of
women selfsupporting and independent of
male assistance-out of the growing uni
versatility of club and hotel life in place of
home and home circle. It is a condition
not essentially inimlcal to high civiliza-
ton, or necessarily discreditable to man
hood and womanhood. 1t is rather new
civilization. A man need not acquire the
airs of dancing master to be a gentleman.
Nor do think it follows that he has the
most regard for the opposite sex who hops
up whenever pretty woman enters car.
This is the superficial and common idea
of gentleman, 1 know, but 1t is not the
common evidence of one In New York now
adays. The old time courtesy and elaborate
politeness of men and women were, after all,
mostly on the surface. The present age is
more cold-blooded and truthful. Its polite
ness is blunt, its methods business-like.
This everyday work of men and women
side by side in all the avenues of trade,
takes the airy nothingness off OF their rela-
tions and reduces the sexes to an equality of
toll and independence of each other, even in
social pleasure. The polite ages, when
women were merely toys or serfs, are behind
us. Let them remain there, along with re-
ligious cruelty, the chivalric duello and
human slavery. To us belongs the more
expanded time of machi merry, equality of
the sexes, human freedom and liberal laws.

Remarkable ReckIessuess.

The.fact that Kopp was the twenty-frst
man killed in the past four years is not so
Surprising to ME as the fact that no more
have been killed. Without offering any ex-
cuse for the electrical companies, who have
shamefully neglected to interpose proper
barriers between the public and the fool
killer, 1t is Just as well to draw attention to
the bottom facts. see linemen every day
on housetops and up telegraph poles work
ing among the wires without taking any
precautions whatever to guard against live
wires and dead men. The very morning
after the unfortunate Kopp's death man
was up Broadway pole within two blocks
OF where the accident occurred, doing pre-.
cisely what Kopp did. OF course, the cur
rents were supposed to be turned of. As
matter of fact some circuit is always in ope-
ration.
These accidents by electricity strike pc
culiar note of terror in the public mind.
Columns upon columns are devoted to every
one. They turn the city upside down, meta
phorically speaking. During the hot
weeks o. summer another class OF fatal acci-
dents were usually bunched together in a
stlckful, two, three, four and as high as five
deaths at time.

The Gentlemen of New York.

81 have never seen a gentleman in nv
years sojourn in New York." said Young
lady from the South the other day. 81
mean a gentleman as we understand them
in the South" She pronounced the word
in that deliciously provincial way so sweet
to those who have enjoyed social relations
with the people of that section-'Soouth."
81 may have met them without knowing
it," she continued, "for am not mind
reader. There are plenty of men to be seen
every day here who have the outward char
acteristics of gentlemen, good clothes and
evident taste, but outward appearances are
very deceptive, and l am no smarter thsn
other people in reading what lies beneath.
A Southern gentleman is not only polite to
ladies everywhere-he is considerate OF the
comfort and pleasure of others. Where do
you see these characteristics in public here?
In the streets they stare a lady out of
countenance or puff cigarette smoke in her
face. On the street cars or elevated trains
they let her hold on to a strap, sometimes
even grudgingly moving along where there
is ample room ior her to sit. And where an
exceptional case occurs and one gets up to
offer her a seat it is done in a manner thar

Rolling Off the Roof.

These accidents occurred daily and night
ly. They were rolling off of housetops and
falling out of windows. For the last hot
week L noticed tine frequency of these.
Every morning at break asst as 1 read the
paper having the largest circulation, my
wife invariably asked me: "How many
people rolled off the roof last night?" There
was never less than two day, and ran from
that to five. AS this class of accidents is
almost unknown outside of New York, it
seems necessary to explain that people here
do not mount the housetops for the express
purpose of rolling of. They go up there to
sleep. The crowded tenement districts are
full of people OF other climes where the roof
is the most pleasant part of the residence.
We have not yet adopted the parapet of
Italy, but the Italian has adopted our roof.
When he goes up there to sleep he is in
America. After he is asleep he is probably
in Italy. II he should be little restless or
somnambulistic he is likely to be somewhere
else before morning. Sometimes it is from
the roof, sometimes from window or fire
escape. After the thing is over it is wholly
immaterial, as a man who falls four or five
stories to a stone pavement is scarcely worth
picking up, and this is usually done with
the aid OF broom and dust-pan.

GLEASIKGs FROM CHURCH FIELDI

The Congregational Year Boot" recent
ly issued for 1890, under the supervision of
Rev. Henry A. Hazen, of Auburndale,
Mass, is q model in its presentation OF
church statistics. As o statisticlan Mr..
Hazen has done the best work of the year by
furnishing in compact form and in a way
that makes the facts concerning the past and
present of American congregationalism ac-
cessible to the inquirer without any waste Of
time.
In study of the Year Book for few
evenings the following facts were ELECTED:
Congregationalism in the United States has
had its most complete development in Mas
sachusetts and Connecticut where the pill
grims first planted their stakes. The entire
benevolent contributions of the Congrega-
tional churches the year past amounted to
1893, 037. Of this amount $l,0o4. $50 were
contributed by these two States. Massa-
chusetts quota was S65s.079.
With Congregational Church member
ship in the United States of nearly SOC, 900
Massachusetts has over 100, 900 and Con-
necticut close to $4,000. The church which
leads all others in the Congregational de-
nomination is the Broadway Tabernacle,
New York, of which DR.. William Taylor is
pastor. The contributions of this church
for the past year to benevolent purposes
amounted to $50, 500, and for home expendi-
lures S37, $50. DR.. TayIor's salary is Sl6,-
600, the largest paid to any minister of the
denomi nation.

He is Just as dead as though he had been
killed by civilized lightning. What puz-
1les me is this: Why should man who is
killed by an electric wire get 30 or 40
columns of obituary and a man who rolls off
the roof receive but five or ten lines? 1t re-
minds me that Kemmler, who died by wire
in a New York prison, got more legal and
newspaper attention than Guiteau, who
killed a President. Nobody knows to-day
who Kemmler killed. New York has had
q deaths by electrical accidents within four
years-one in 'S6. iour in 'S7, six in 'SS,
eight in 'S9, two in 80.
Perhaps double that number OF persons
have fatally rolled off the roof in three
months this summer 1 can show you New
York papers that group these high rollers
under general head in minor local notices,
two to five in a stickful or twoof small type,
merely giving name and place and the bare
fact. Here is box as large as peck
measure attached to the last fatal pole on
Broadway. Above it is a request for con-
tributionS in aid of the family of the de-
ceased lIreman, Kopp. There is stack of
bills and coin in that box four inches deep.
What becomes of the families of the men
who roll off the roof? Perhaps the time may
come when an accidental death by electricity
will be just the same as an accidental death
by any other way. Just at present elec-
tricity has the call.
