OVER $4,000 FOR THE BABIES.

The Sick Babies Fund to-day amounts
to s2i o32.63. As everybody knows, who
has followed the course of the charity,
and nearly n half-millon people have
had their eyes on II every day, this Is
the largest amount reached in any year
since the Fund came into existence.
seven years ago. Without the surplus
from former Summers Shlch was added
when the Fund opcned last May, the
contributions are nearly $1,000 in excess
of those of the record year, 1892, when
over $4,000 was received from the peo-
pie.
The present large Fund, amassed in n
season Of terrible business distress, Is n
magnificent testimonial of the popular
ity of THE Evening Worlds" charity.
1t shows not only that New Workers
and their neighbors are big-hearted and
liberal handed, and that the cry of inno-
cent, suffering, helpless infancy brings
from them ~ ldy responses of love and
money, but II also shows that the public
has full confidence in 1.-The Evening
Worlds" carefulness and conscience in
these matters, and that II relies upon
1.-The Evening World" to give its best
services in the cause OF charity. as in
all other directions in which the pros
perity, health and general welfare and
security of the community are con-
cerned.

THE END OF BRoCKwAY.

The Brockway case Is closed 80 far as
the testimony is concerned. There can
be no doubt in any unprejudiced mind
that the charges made against the man
agements and methods of the Elmira
Reformatory are not only sustained by
the evidence. but that the illegal and
brutal methods have been brought more
closely home to the Superintendent and
managers by this second trial.
There can be no doubt what the ind
ing of the Commission will be. But there
ought to be no delay in the report, and
not a moments loss OF time in sweeping
out of existence both the Superintendent
and the present incapable and unfaith-
full Board of Nj. nagers. Gov. Flower
will be very blino to his own political
interests Il he does not act promptly, and
no elaborate report Is required from the
Commission. The scandal Is sickening.
Let the Broclway-Arnottc crowd go.
An effort Is now being made by the
Brockway interests to turn the Reform
atory over to the State prison manage
ment. To change the characters OF the
institution just at the moment 1t has n
prospect of being saved from Brockway-
ism, and made real Rcformatory,
would be an outrage the people OF the
State would Indignantly denounce.

CLEARING THE LoBBlEs.

President Scannell, of the Fire Com
mission confirms the story that the law
prohibiting the managers of theatres
from allowing persons to stand In the
aisles during n performance must be
enforced. If the law Is as Objectionable
as some persons represent, he says, the
best way to insure its repeal or amend
ment Is to enforce It, His own judgment
Is that 1t Is a good law, and that to
allow people to stand in the aisles and
Hobbies of places of amusement must
necessarily obstruct rapid exit in case of
fire, and is calculated to lead to disaster
President SCannell says the officers of
the Department will be instructed to use
discretion In enforcing the law. and to
avoid as far as possible any controversy
with the employees of the theatres. OF
course, the Hobbies at the back OF the
boxes are the places where the people
| who pay admission money only gather,
| and that is just where Crowding Is the
most Objectionable and the most hazard
oVs. Yet the law mentions 'aislcs" only,
| and 1t Is Contended by theatrical folks
| that this space behind the boxes is not
| an "aisle." So the tlremen stationed al
| theatres are instructed to use some dis
oretion in enforcing the law, but to take
care that no crowding obstructlng the
exits shall be permitted,
The law Is good one for the public
in many respects, and IT is to be hopeC
1t will be properly enforced.

THE BRECKINRIpGE BATTLE.

At 4 o'clock this afternoon the people
OF the Seventh District OF Kentucky
will have decided whether they will any
longer be represented in Congress by
w. C. Z. Breckenridge, or whether they
will retire him to private life.
The fight In MIR. Breckinridge's dis
trict has been Il curious one. 1t will be
surprising II 1t closes without n star
Ting tragedy. Some years ago such n
campaign would not have closed with
out bloodshed.
1t seems to be supposed that the Con-
CHEESEMAN'S immoral conduct Is the prin-
cipal cause OF the opposition made to
his reelection. The fact is that 1t was
his dastardly defense in the Pollard
suit his attempt to cast the blame upon
the woman, his baseness in Introducing
her among reputable women and fami-
lies as his intended wife or as an ire
proachable character. that made his Of
Tense so objectionable in the eyes of
men. If his offense had been only his
immoral and unfortunate relations with
the woman, he would not have met such
bitter opposition.
Mr.. Breckenridge deserves to be de.
feated. His return would be a disgrace
to the State, which 1t Is to be hoped #
| may be spared.

The FaIIncy of Protection.
To the Editor;

To the Editor:
90 G." has allowed his intelligence to be
imposed upon II he believes that the beautiful
fabrics that come into this country and the
magnificent vessels that enter our harbors are
produced by pauper labor II this were true. what
spectacle would England present-a nation
with highly skilled pauper labor monopolizing
half the trade OF the world in spite OF hostile
tariffs everywhere, and holding the whole world
under contribution. To a mind not blinded by
prejudice and selhshness. England's commercial
supremacy simply demonstrates the fallacy OF
protection. High tariff means restricted trade
and low tariff extended trade. Which is the bot
ter for our wage earners? THIS is the question
in nutshell they have to decide. Who ever
heard Of r nation being injured by extending its
foreign commerce. The reverse OF this. brought
about by high taris, Is the principal cause Of the
wretched condition OF most OF the European
countries. There is no jugglery in commerce.
You cannot make It one-sded: It IL always
mutually beneficial. An exchange OF products
does not diminish the demand for labor but in
creases It. The idea that country is enriched
by shutting out things that are comparatively
cheap to make way for those that compare
lively dear. is absurd. Under McKinleyism our
foreign trade has steadily declined. our internal
drained from rs. II is therefore only reason
able to suppose that liberal tariff will re-
verse these conditions Trade with foreign coun-
tries on fair principles OF reciprocity Is what
We want. PERCY WERE.

Girl babies of Sicily.

In some parts Of Sicily the birth of a
girl is looked upon as such a misfortune
that a black flag is hung out the win

to be supported by the family as long as
they are unmarried, and being obliged
to dover the bridegroom, they are looked
upon as expensive luxuries. Boys, on the
other hand, are very soon self-support-

Cutting down dresses and suits for
children hardly pays. 1t is better to let
the little girl grow into her big sis
ter's frock. or give little brother Toms
suit when he is bigger. Mothers are
not as clever with the needle as some
other women, and many of the altered
suits are not fiattering to the pride of
the unfortunate little recipient. Clothes
that children grow into are generally
perfect fits, with slight alterations. Lii
putian garments of the very latest fash

hardly pays to make over old clothes.
