THE ROYAL NUpTiAIS.

All England is on the qui vive regard
ing the wedding Of Prince George to
Princess May, which is booked for the
9Th of July.
1t is to be only semi-state affair, so
there is TO be only about half the process
sions, ETC., there would be IL 1t were to
te full state. There are to be, for ex-
ample, only four professions of carriages
from Buckingham palace to st. James's
and only four professions from st.
James's to the royal chapel. The bride
will form one, the groom one, the royal
family and the royal guests the third
and the queen the fourth all to herself.
There is to be great variety of royal
functions before and after the wedding,
and the pair OF very ordinary young peo-
pie are to be landed upon the matrimo-
nial sea in a very extraordinary fashion.
The affair is no ''picnic" for England,
as all classes Of society, from the nobil-
ity all the way down to the board school
children have been vigorously dunned
for contributions for wedding gifts.
There has been such wholesale beg
ging for money for this purpose that
some Of the English papers have been
led TO vigorously protest.
IL Is practically certain that these two
people would never have married each
other IL they had been left 10 IN ar own
devices. The marriage has been ar.

POLICE BRUTALITY.

Hardly day passes that does not
furnish an instance of gross brutality
on the part Of some New York police
man, but the most glaring case came to
light in the Jefferson Market court few
days ago. A car driver had been ar
raigned before the court and remanded.
A few minutes later the court and
those in attendance upon it We're startled
by cries for help from the prisoner.
Investigation developed the fact that
after being taken from the court room
the prisoner had been set upon by
an angry sergeant, knocked to the floor
by powerful blows and then kicked in
the face until he was nearly uncon-
scious. The judge promptly ordered
the sergeant brought before him and
placed him under bonds for trial.
This brutal wearer of the blue will
probably be meted out just punishment
for his disgraceful doings, but how many
others escaped even a reprimand after
maltreating helpless and defenseless
prisoners? The number is unfortun-
ately very large indeed.
1t is easy to understand how such a
condition of affairs is possible. Appoint
ments TO the force are not made because
of the fitness of the candidate, but
because he has political pull. Thus it
happens that in the ranks of the patrol
men are to be found men who are
bruisers and bullies and who served an
apprenticeship as bouncers in low dives
and drinking dens.
When their brutal instincts get them
into trouble the same power that secured
their appointment protects them from
punishment and the bruised and bat
tered citizen appeals only in vain for
justice.
1t is sadly degrading spectacle and
there is but slight promise of change
to better conditions 80 long as Tam
many retains its control Of affairs In
New York.

RuMP NONSENSE.

DON'T WORRY, ANXIOUS BROTHER.

DON'T WORRY, ANXIOUS BROTHER.
The Boston Sunday Herald wrings its
mugwump soul concerning Rhode Is
land affairs about once in so often. One
of those occasions occurred yesterday.
when long and highly moral editorial
entitled "a Reproach to New England
appeared.
The article was aptly entitled. 1t was
reproach to New England, and re-
proach to the knowledge and acumen of
the Herald, which has ample opportuni-
ties to know bett er than it displays in its
editorial writings.
OF course the Herald knows perfectly
well that whatever is Objectionable to
the people of Rhode Island in the con-
stitution is promptly eliminated from it
in legal and proper manner.
The trouble with the Herald is that il
takes its key from the false pitch-pipe
of the Democrats of Rhode Island, and
the trouble with the Democrats of
Rhode Island is that they do not desire
the revision of the constitution, but only
the establishment of catchy campaign
crys.
The facility with which the constitu-
ton can be amended has been many
times demonstrated in recent years,
never more conclusively than this year,
when the proposition to adopt the plu-
rality rule in elections has gone through
the general assembly without the slight
est opposition-after the Democrats de-
cided to not oppose it-and will doubt
less be adopted by the people.
The Democrats want to begin their
visionary revision of the constitution by
denying its authority and ignoring the
provisions for its amendment which it
contains. They have uniformly opposed
whatever amendments have been made,
and the greatest of them all--the plural
ity in elections amendment-was pushed
through the assembly by the Republi-
cans.
1t is not to be expected that it will do
so, but 1t is to be observed that the Bos-
ton Herald, and other mugwumps that
salve their souls lecturing Rhode Island,
would be making great strides toward
real usefulness If they were to color
their lucubrations with some slight tint
of truth occasionally.

The Air
We Breathe.

Science teaches us that nature
carefully provides essentially the
same air in all parts of the earth.
Not only are its principal constit-
uents the same, but also of one un-
varying degree of purity.
At all attitudes and in all parts of
the world-in the streets of the most
populous cities and on the SUBMITS
of the highest hills-the proportion
of the oxygen to the nitrogen in the
FREE AIR varies but few hundredths
of ONE per cent.
While the amount of vapor in the
air may vary greatly, and we suffer
no appreciable harm, we must have
an atmosphere with not LESS than 20
per cent. of oxygen. The food we
eat may differ greatly, but the air we
breathe constantly must have oxy-
gen, with the slightest possible varia-
ton.
Bananas and blubber will each
make vital blood; but neither the
one nor the other, or any other food,
can produce a drop of vital blood
without oxygen.
The blood Is the life, and the life
blood is sustained only by the oxy-
gen we breathe.
And while nature is lavish in its
supply of pure air, we often fail to
avail ourselves of the proper amount
of it.
Our indoor vocations-our insult
ficiently ventilated dwellings, shops,
factories, halls and schoolhouses,
as we'll as our STOPPING postures and
tight jackets, in study and work

quently diseased condition of our
bronchial tubes and lung cells, con-
spire to rob us daily of the neces.
sary supply Of natures free oxygen.
And in the degree that oxygen is
wanting, neither food, rest nor medi.
cine can supply the deficiency. All
attempts to find a substitute are not
only futile, but a waste of time and
money, and frequently perious to
precious life. If you have reason to
believe that you are suffering for
oxygen avail yourself of the earliest
opportunity to supply the deficiency.
