John Glendenning, the actor, left
Lambs Club yesterday afternoon
about 8 o'clock, says the New York
World. He crossed the street to
speak to a friend, and thence pro-
ceeded on the north side OF Twenty
sixth street toward Broadway, where
he picked up disabled sparrow.
Holding the wounded bird in his
hand, he saw that its leg was broken.
In front OF him, at West Twenty
sixth street, he saw the sign OF DIR.

"but IL it's leg is broken 1 fear that

sparrow, Mr.. Glendenning and the
Doctor walked into the HOFFMAN,

Maurice Barrymore, Nat Goodwin,
Marshall p. Wilder, and several other
people. They looked at the injured

Of Twenty-fifth street and Broadway,
where Clerk Mcdowell brought out a

sponge with a circular aperture. The
head of the suffering sparrow was
laid therein, chloroform was poured
on the sponge, and Glendenning an
nounced the results. "Feebler," he
said-"Hardly at all"-"The heart

PROF. SCHMoLLER, of Berlin, one
of the most prominent leaders Of the
modern school of political economists
in Germany, has recently made the
statement that among the working
people the conditions of domestic
life in every detail-of education,
prosperity, progress in all directions
fare dependent on the proportion
of income that flows down the
fathers throat. Prof. Schneider
adds: "The whole condition Of our
lower and middle classes-one may
even, without exaggeration, say the
future of our nation-depends on
this question. II 1t is true that half
our paupers become so through drink,
1t gives us some estimate of the costly
burden which we tolerate. No other
of our vices bears comparison with
this" 1t is very strong presenta-
tion of the existing condition in Ger
many.

THE decision of an Ohio court that
the Standard Oil Trust is Illegal had
the surprising effect Of causing its
managers to announce the dissolu-
ton of the trust, and its retirement
from the monopoly 1t has long held.
This company has amassed enormous
wealth for its chief proprietors, and
has also incidentally helped the pub
lie by cheapening the cost of refining
crude oil. But others besides the
Standard Oil Company have worked
TO the same end. The odious charac-
ter of the trust was shown in its un-
scrupulous attempt to crush out COM
petitors. This it was able to do, and
it is largely through appropriating
the work of others that the wealth
of the trust was gained. 1t is likely
that the war against trusts and
monopoIfes is the true reason why
the Standard Oil Trust has concluded
to retire.

THE English Court of Appeal has
little sympathy with doctors and law
yers who advertise. A dentist who
was graduated from the Royal Col
lege of Surgeons, Dublin, stipulated
on receiving his diploma that he
would not seek to attract business
by advertising" When he had been
in practice some years he began to
advertise his business pretty extern
sively. The General Medical Council
found him guilty of infamous or dis
graceful conduct in a professional re-
spect," and struck his name from the
Dental Register. Then he appealed
to the court to order it restored. This
the judges refused to do. They
agreed with the Medical Council that
he was guilty of disgraceful profes.
sional conduct. True, the violation
Of his pledge was doubtless the main
ground for this judgment, but the
judges more than intimated that
apart from this it would be unprofes-
sional misconduct for doctor to adj
vertise. Speaking of the legal pro-
fession, the Master of the Rolls said
that "a barrister is not allowed TO adj
vertise his superior talents, or that he
will do his advocacy cheaper" and
added that any one who would do SO
~would be guilty of such disgraceful
conduct that he ought to be immedi-
ately disbarred." Yet why should
not professional man advertise his
business as we'll as merchant?

OUTSIDE of Central and Northern
South America volcanic activity and
resultant or connected seismic dis
turbance have been comparatively
harmless In the Western hemisphere
within the historical period. Never
theless, earthquakes have frequently
occurred on both the Atlantic and
the Pacific coasts and occasionally
In the central region. Fortunately,
the shocks for the most part have
been slight, or at least not rdestruc-
tive of life. The Charleston earth
quake is the most disastrous within
the limits Of what is. now the United
States. California has had since the
opening of the nineteenth century
eleven destructive and twenty-four
severe earthquakes, while the total
number OF the shocks since 1850 has
been no less than 100. Most of these
have not been accompanied by ma
terial losses. The present seismic
period seems prolonged, but Is not
unusual except in its violence. 1t is
the severest for many years, and may
result In still further damage. The
regency of volcanic action in the
Sierras and the adjustment of strata
still going on account for the dis
turbances. But California is land
of safety and peaceful quiet COM
pared with Japan and some of the
islands in the eastern and southern
seas.

What q Mayor Can Do When He Has
the Power.
The saloon license system in Chicago is
another village development The regu-
lar fee is 500, and there are only 5000
licenses, but any man of what is called
good character" may get license on his
own application, and the license is then
issued to the person. He may sell his
liquors anywhere that he pleaseS within
the city limits. The law declares that the
drinking saloons shall be closed at mid
night. 1t has proved extremely difficult
to enforce this ordinance, but the pres
ent Mayor has been making a brave bat
tie toward that end. He is of those who
believe that all evils which seem either
necessary or ineradicable should be regu-
lated, and his idea was to enforce the law
Tor closing the saloons. and to issue Ii
censes to sell liquor in the restaurants
which keep open al night, the drinks To
be sold only with food. lie found. what
was no new discovery, that the reform
was loudly opposed by the worst element
III the business, who said that they could
and did sell liquor in their restaurants
anyway, and that there was no need for
licenses. lie also found that the ultra
temperance folk took sides with these
deiierS of order by opposing the reform
on the usual ground that licensing liquor
selling was recognizing and authorizing
the evil. AS late as the end Of last au-
tumn the Mayor was manfully holding
TO his determination to enforce the mid
night closing law, and il was said by all
with whom / spoke that it was extremely
difficult to obtain even a glass OF beer
after II O'Clock, and that no saloons dis
played lights or open doors after hours,
He was able TO enforce his orders and
perform this function Of his Office for a
reason that points moral for every stu
dent of the subject to remember He
holds the power to dismiss those who dis
obey him. He promised TO discharge
any policeman upon whose post drink
was sold or saloon was kept open after
hours. He could discharge every police
man, from the Chief down, and they all
knew it. 1t Will be remembered that al
most similar authority is vested in the
police magistrates in the most progress
sive English cities. The result is whole
some everywhere. = From Western

SAN Francisco, May 6.-The Board of
Manufacturers and Employers of Califor-
MIA have issued a manifesto TO the public,
stating the time has come when uni
versal and systematic effort should be
made to put an end to boycotts and the
interference of trades unions with the
internal affairs Of trades. Unless this be
done, says the manifesto, the already sut-
fering industries of this city will soon
become so badly handicapped as to be
practically out of the race in the compe-
tition of the world. Every line of pro-
duction has suffered from this cause.
The firms in the Manufacturers Associa-
ton employ 10000 people, and pay $780,
900 per day in wages. What if these
plants go East?
The manifetto closes as follows: "The
boycott should be stopped. The citizens
of the State hold this evil in the hollow
of their hands. Let them declare against
the boycott and il is doomed. Watch
your employees and discharge boycotters.
Patronize boycotted firms. When boy
Cotting becomes dangerous and boycottS
help more than they harm, boycoIting
will cease"
Secretary Williams of the Employers
Association said: 81 am not at liberty to
speak of the means which the Employers
Association intends to use to put an end
to boycotting. l can only say every word
in the manifesto means just what it says.
The employers feel the time has come to
put an end to boycotts in San Francisco,
and they propose to do it. I would not
be surprised if opposition develops, and
can only state that the association has
taken that into consideration"

long and heated debate ensued, and
when the question was put to vote the
Government was defeated by 1913 to lS5.
The proceedings were heated throughout
and often uproarious. The attack upon
the Government was opened by Signor
Gioletti, who proceeded, amid the con-
stant Interruptions of members on each
side of the House, who were excitedly
arising and exchanging vituperative epi-
thets. The uproar finally reached such
pitch that the presiding officer was forced
- close the debate. When quiet was
restored the debate was resumed, and
Minister Grimaldi moved a vote of con-
fdence in the Government.
AS soon as the defeat of the Govern
ment was announced Premier Rudini
rose and said he must Immediately con-
