Greenwich village.

When New York was SO small place
that the square where the city hall
now is was far up town and farms
stretched to the river on the other side
of Broadway, there was a prosperous
little village called Greenwich about a
mile to the north. This continued to be
called Greenwich village even after the
great city had swallowed it up. 1t was
also known as the Ninth ward-the
American ward Of the metropolis. There
the people were fierce Know-nothings in
1854, and they were won't to say that
they were not proud and had no preju-
dices, but that they would have neither
foreigners nor Catholics in their neigh.
borhood.
Until very recently this locality had a
distinctive character, but this has been
fast passing away; and with the de.
struction of the buildings on the square
bounded by Greenwich. Christopher,
Washington and Barrow streets, to
make room for the new United States
appraisers stores, the last vestige of the
old settlement is swallowed up and the
village of Greenwich has passed into
history.

Anonymous Attack ON the Management
of the Chelsea Home.

BosToN, Mass, February n.-Some
time ago, an anonymous circular was is
sued from the Soldiers Home at Togus,
Me. The paper was. signed ''stars and
Stripes,' and alleges that. a veteran
named Elijah Nye, Jr., had been turned
away from the home at Chelsea, Mass,
afterwards gaining admission to the
home at Togus. AT the meeting of the
Massachusetts Grand Army yesterday.
Capt. J. G. B. Adams, president of the
trustees of the Soldiers Home in Massa-
chusetts. made statement that Nye had
applied to the Chelsea home at an hour
in the night when the regulations for
babe the acceptance of applicants. Capt.
Adams read a letter from Gen. Luther
Stevenson, governor of the Togus Home,
in which Gen. Stephenson said that the
circular was inspired by George Bachel-
der, at that time an inmate of the home.
Nye had not regarded himself as abused
until Batchelder took the matter up.
Batchelder has been dishonorably dis
charged from the Togus Home by order
of the Washington authorities.
Today, the department encampment
chose James K. Churchill of Worcester,
commander, E. w. Hall of Lynn, senior
vice commander, and W. A. Wetherbee,
junior vice commander.

IN. Y. Commercial Bulletin.]
The New York Life is saved. The
method Of it's salvation, Il However, is an
enigma of inconsistency which its auth
ors are not likely to explain. The report
of the Insurance Department left no
course possible for honest Trustees but TO
remove the President at once. The ma
ture of the official indictments required
that the removal should be done without
either fear or favor; but the inscrutable
mystery is that the Trustees have exhlb-
tied both. The President has been per-
mitted to let himself down by resignlng'
His resignation is accepted in terms oil
flattering adrlation, and the success OF
the Company is held up as monument
of ''the intelligence and honesty" the
zeal, ability and energy of the man
thus permitted to crawl out of the con-
sequences of his misdoings. All this
praise is unmixed with one phrase OF
blame for the long course OF mlsdeeds
and mismanagement which the Depart
ment so unqualifiedly charges against the
President maladministration and which
charges the Trustees declare they accept
as true. Nor is this all. TO these words
of llnmixed praise is added lifelong

Der wear! So much for the favor" in
the Trustees action-and surely there's
enough of it. The favor implies the
fear But why the fear? That is the
question a great many important people
would like to have answered; but 1T, is
concealed among the many dark doings
in the New York Life that are not likely
to be ever revealed. What are we to in
fer, what are we not justified in suspect
ing, when board of Trustees not only
belauds but also eXtrayagantly pensions
an officer who is driven from his position
by an official verdict rarely equalled by
the severity of it's condemnation? The
report of the Trustees is one of the most
cowardly and essentially immoral set OF
conclusions ever recorded by men
charged with grave fiduciary duties; Cow
ardly, because it shows subsefyient dread
of the author of the maladminlstratlon;
immoral, because it sets up the shame
full precedent of comforting a monstrous
premium on methods of management
that portend ruin.
The way in which the Trustees have
got rid of the President, the fact that
they can condone and whitewash such
faults as have compelled his retirement,
most certainly affords very unsatisfact-
ory guarantee of the efficient manage
ment of the Company so long as the
present board remains in office. The
Trustees may have had their individual
reasons for compromising with the Presi-
dent in the way they have, and may pos

exist. The number of such fire traps in
every large city in the country is by no
means small. A spark OF fire in the
silent watches Of the night, when the
chances against its discovery are inf
mite and every one is obliyious to the
threatened danger, is all that is needed
to disclose their existence and appal the
public.
The conditions for disaster were ex-
ceptionably favorably in the Hotel
Royal The building was an old one.
Its interior was of wood, dry as finder.
In the center, from the basement to the
roof, ran an elevator shaft around which
wound the only stairways that led to the
corridors on the different floors. This
shaft, these stairways and these corrl-
doris were all of the most int1ammable
material. With an undiscovered fire in
the rubbish that is usually permitted to
gather at the bottom of elevators, what
was to prevent the ightninglike extern
sion of the flames from basement to
roof, from this column OF fire to the
stairways and thence to the farthest
end of every corridor? Nothing, in the
case of the Hotel Royal. Nothing, in
the case of every other structure like it.
Under such circumstances what fate
awaited the 1866 or IT'S guests sleeping in
the rooms off the burning corridorsi
Could it be different from the one that
overlook the unknown number burned
to death and the greater number severe
" injured? The moment they opened
their doors on being awakened by the
alarm of fire flames and smoke barred
their way to the stairways. But even
if the corridors had been clear escape
was cut off in that direction. The fire
from the elevator shaft had already
made the stairways impossible. The
only remaining chance for escape was
through the windows of the rooms.
One can imagine the conditions under
which this would have been adequate.
But these conditions did not exist in the
Hotel Royal. There were only two fire
escapes. 1t was impossible for the
panic stricken and frantic guests to seek
safety through these in the few minutes

HOTEL ROYAL RUINS.

that separated them from death. -Four
or five fire escapes would have been none
too many. For those shut from this
avenue there remained only the rope es-
capes so much derided by hotel men.
But with one of these not every room
was provided in obedience to the law.
Many guests in the rooms that did have
them were thus enabled to save them
selves. This is the reason why the death
list was not greater. 1t is the reason,
too, why the criminal responsibility of
some one was not greater also.

New wonders III Electric Lighting.

By means Of currents alternating with
very high frequency Professor Nikola
Tesla has succeeded in passing by induc-
ton through the glass of a lamp energy
sufficient to keep filament in state of
incandescence with the use Of connect
ing wires. He has even lighted room
by producing it in such a condition that
an Illuminating appliance may be placed
anywhere and lighted without being
electrically connected with anything.
He has produced the required condi-
ton by creating in the room powerful
electrostatic field alternating very rapid
ly. He suspends two sheets of metal,
each connected with one of the terminals
of the coil. If an exhausted tube is car
ried anywhere between these sheets or
placed anywhere it remains always lu-
minous.
The extent to which this method of
illumination may be practically avail
able experiments alone can decide. In
any case our insight into the possibili-
ties of static electricity has been extend
ed, and the ordinary electric machine
will cease to be regarded as mere toy.
