IN SEARCH OF LIGHT.

Is II not a droll spectacle to see a
Mayor nj other public officers
running about from pillar to post, as the
saying Is, to find out whether a decision
of the General Term OF a Court which
a law unconstitutional
means what It says. and whether 1t Is
their duty to respect the decision or
altogether as II 1t had never been made?
The decision affects the pockets of a
number of millionaires who ave large
interests on the turf. 1t relates to bet
ting on race tracks. 1t declares that
what is a felony In one place cannot be
made a legal act In another place. 1t Is
equivalent to deciding that while pick
ing pockets on one side OF Broadway Is
a penal offense 1t cannot be authorized
by law on the other sid OF Broadway
on the Fourth OF July or Memorial Day,
n for thirty days thereafter.
Would there be all this doubt and hest
tation and opinion-seeking and consul
tation and uncertainty as to the force
and authority OF a judicial decision at
fecting the rights OF a lot of people
without wealth or influence? In that
case. would not the Mayor OF Brooklyn.

wEATHER-COCK LEGISLATION.

No more striking illustration Of the
bungling and vacillation OF politicians
has ever been presented to the people OF
New York than that supplied by the
weather-cock performances in connec-
ton with the construction OF the new
Municipal Building.
The bill Just made a law by the Gov
ernor's signature undoes all that has
been done by the Municipal Building
Commission since 1892. inc the work has
to begin all over again. The prohibition
against the removal of the old City Hall
destroys all the designs for n building
inside the park. and again locates 1t on
an outside site. The question of dam
ages will arise. and the chances are that
the city will have to pay roundly for the
freaks of the political tinkers. Besides.
all idea OF the speedy prosecution of the
work as a relief for unemployed labor is
now destroyed.
This legislation was the work of Sena-
tor Robertson, of Westchester. 1t was
doubtless prompted by the belief that an
Anti-Taminany Mayor may be in office
next year and have n chance at a prom

To the Editor.

To the Editor:
A correspondent Is perplexed on the question
Of why the first day OF the week is observed
as the Sabbath. In the eyes of Christian be-
levers this is primarily because the resurrection
OF Christ took place on the hrs day OF the
week. and as that event opened up q new
dispensation and brought the end and fulnlmsnt
Of the law 1t was considered eminently ntting
by the apostles and the early church that the
day should take the place OF the Jewish Sab
bath. A careful perusal OF the gospels will
show several frequent references to the OBJ
servance OF the first day OF the week by Christ
and his disciples. and this is considered by
Christians the best and SUFFICIENT reason why II
should be observed as a day OF rest and worship

workadny Lunches.

The afternoon is the longer half OF
the working day. To eat a heavy meal
at noon. without being able to nap an
hour, is the mistake that too many
women make. Men don't count. Nature
fitted them with strong systems and .
quick digestive apparatus. If foods like
pastry, meats, fresh bread and pickles,
that take from three to five and a half
hours to digest, are eaten. the stomach
levies on the vital forces and the brain
and muscles get sleepy and stupid. With
a piece Of well-done toast and half a pint
Of cocoa, chocolate or hot milk a woman
can keep up her strength and keep her

excellent lunch is a bowl of bread and
