THE rush to the suburbs yesterday was a
good indication of the average citizens
desire to get away from narrow streets oc-
casionally. The day was by no means one of
the finest possible; but those who ignored
the threatening skies undoubtedly enjoyed
themselves Tired they were, of course,
when they returned, but their weariness
will, by this morning, have left them, while
they will be in better condition for their
usual work on account of their outing.

Now it is stated that the 5000 feet of
altitude which some time ago were rudely
subtracted from Mt. St. Elias are to be put
back again. An error in calculation has
been found which restores that peak to the
list of first-class mountains. This is doing
no more than Justice to a mountain which
has suffered from unfounded detraction.
Hereafter iconoclastic topographers should
understand that they must not detract from
the regulations and height of mountains
without being certain that their figures are
right.

ONE of the beauties of the grand moral
crusade of the New York race-track pro-
prietors against the pool-rooms, for the pur-
pose of monopolizing all the profits of the
gambling privileges themselves, takes the
shape of an edict that no one shall be per-
mitted to leave race-tracks till the races are
over. There is a very well-defined convic-
tion back of this remarkable stand that peo-
pie who go to races have just one right-the
right to be fieeced.

A TRAVELLER in far-of Persia sends back
a story that the American cocktail has
demonstrated its usefulness by knocking
out and demoralizing some bogus diamonds
which had been sold to the Shah, and which
were accidentally dropped into the great
American beverage. This is regarded as a
vindication for the cocktail; but it CONVEYS
warning that its potency, especially as
served up in Persia. is such as to make it
demoralizing to all except those fortunate
topers who rejoice in copper-lined stomachs.
