FOOT PASSENGERS, RIGHTS,

A decision handed down by the Court
of Appeals yesterday established the
fact that the public have the right in
the use OF the streets and hut
that the sidewalks belong to the pedes-
TRANS.
The case on appeal arose through n
suit brought by the guardians OF a
young lai for damages inflicted on the
latter ~ a wagon which had been
driven onto the sidewalk to deliver a
lead. Tho Superior curt gave the boy
a thousand dollars damages. Tho Court
Of Appeals in confirming the Judgment
Hays down the law that the sidewalks
belong to the foot passengers, and hence
the cart had no right to be there.
In some streets OF tho city this inter,
probation Of tho law seems not to be wei
understood or not to be very sCrupu
lousy observed, The sidewalks are rem.
derrI useless to passengers by blockadrs
of boSes and trucks and packages con.
tinucd for hours. In many localities tn,
sidewalks are thus rendered lmpassabl,
for the greater part Of the business
hours of the day.

THE BowERY MoBBING.

The mobblng OF q party OF Parkhurst
agents in the Bowery yesterday was an
outrage that cannot be too severely con-
demned or too promptly puaished. Doubt
is attempted to be thrown on the story
told by the assaulted men. but there Is
no question OF Its truth. and the assail-
ants should be severely dealt with II
they can be caught and convicted. II
is the duty of the police to make vigor-
Gus efforts to arrest the guilty parties.
h methods OF the Parkhurst 50
ciety are Objectionable in the eyes OF
nan good citizens. The whole system
of an amateur police clothed with ex-
traordinary powers is regarded as dan
gerous. and tending rather to increase
than diminish crime. 1t leads directly
to bribery and blackmail. as the recent
conviction OF the chief agent OF the
Parkhurst Society proves. Rut the rem
edy should be applied by the law. which
ought to strip every such association of
police authority and to compel them to
do their work through the regular re-
sponsible force.
The very worst thing the lawless
classes against whom the efforts OF such
societies are directed can do is to resort
to violence against their agents. No
mob rule car be permitted In New York,
especially where the rioters are notori-
ously habitual violators OF law or their
tools.

Gracious Josephine.

In 1903, when Empress Josephine was
forty years of age. her beauty was a
little faded, says Saint Armand, but she
dressed with such taste. her expression
was so charming. her smile so sweet.
her bearing so graceful, and her man.
ners were so fine that she was very at
tractive and passed for a pretty mi
She received so well. she had such COM
mand of the art of saying a kind word

her tact and politeness so conspicuous
that she seemed to have been born On

Again that season OF the year has
rolled around when football makes n
demonstration of the part 1t takes in
the college education OF the American
youth. And the part is generally ac-
knowledged to be an important one.
Competent authorities have maintained
with much show OF reason that the
seemingly rough and tumble game i'm
parts to those who play Invaluable quail
ties OF s~elf-control and self -rellance;
while 1t is also held that II the men
who go into the contests with the pig
skin are properly trained and hardened,
the struggles OF the elevens are relieved
OF much of what seems to outsiders the
inevitable physical perils.
Certain 1t is that the game OF football
has grown wonderfully in popularity,
both among players and spectators,
within the last few years. Perhaps some
Of those who look on at a game are actu.
ated to some extent In their enjoyment
by the privilege Of noting one event II
life where somebody else does all the
kicking, But this Is not the case witt
the majority. The enthusiasm of thu
vast crowds that attend the annual con
tests Is the outgrowth OF genuine lnspira
tion. It is the reflection OF the emotion!
that thrill the actual participants in tn,
struggle in the field.
Football Is II good tonic. whether takcr
actively or passively. Properly played
It is a manly game for manly young men

tinue to Increase apace.

Beef tea Is wasted on strong people.

and seasoned to taste.

A vogue in Paris is to drape pictures
and screens. n the table
with heavy ropes of flowers. Not only
does this coil go on the table. but the
floral rope is sometimes attached across
the backs OF the chairs about a round
table. so that when guests are seated
they have the appearance Of being
united by a chain OF blossoms and
foliage. A brilliant effect was produced
at a dinner recently by the use of scar
let geraniums twined in this way with

Of larceny is also hanging over his head.
Marshall visited the store of Joseph

Marshall stole q long po~ckcthook out of
hts coat which hung near the door.
In IN" pockutbuOk were three blank

afternoon Marshall presented one of
these, mad" out tor SO and signed with

HOME RULE PROSPECTS.

Mr.. Gladstone will make no attempt
to again pass the Home Rule bill for
some time to come. There IL no pros.
pect that the measure will be revived
for a year at least. It Is said. moreover,
that one faction OF the Irish party is
indignant at the delay. and will desert
the Premier when Parliament meets.
Whether his report Is or Is no, ON
cial. It is not at all probable that Mr.
Gladstone would again Introduce tho
Irish bill before an appeal has been
made to the people through a dissolution
Of Parliament. But he will improve
the Interim by passing through the
House OF Commons the liberal meas
ures relating to the extension Of the
franchise, the worklngman's vote, the
hours OF labor for miners and the county
rights which he has already foreshad-
owed. Whether these bills pass the
House OF Lords or are rejected after
their passage by the Commons. they Will
add materially to Mr.. Gladstone's
strength in the elections when dissolu-
ton does taxi place. II they become
laws they will Increase the Liberal
vote. II defeated by the Lords after
their adoption by the Commons they will
arouse a popular sentiment favorable
to the Liberal party.
1t would be madness or the part Of
any true friends OF ireland not to aid MIR.
Gladstone in carrying out his liberal
programme. 1t is the one thing needed
to make the cause OF Home Rule i~nvlnci-
BILE and to compel the Lords to assent
to the bill II It again reaches them. APP
proved by the English people at a Par
liamentary election and adopted in the
Commons by an increased majority.
Without such an Endorsement 1t would
be mere child's play to send the Home
Rule bin back to the Upper House.

81 DIED OF A BROKEN HEART"
Message Found in q Goat Picked
Up on a Per.

A case that will bear investigation was
reported to the Madison street police
station at $50 o'clock this morning.
Whether 1t is a case of suicide or a hoax
the detectives detailed on the case have
as yet been unable to ascertain.
Christopher Smith, employed on the
barge d. S. Miller, lying at the foot of
Maret street, took to the station a
coat and vest which he said he picked
up on the pier at midnight. In the
pocket of the. coat was found a note
which read as follows:
My name is George Mum. My
mother lives at Kearney, Hudson
County, n. j. i died with a broken
heart. Low to all"
No such person as George Mum has
been reported to the police as missing,
and no case of drowning in the vicinity
