IL THE PRINCE AFRAID

The Prince OF Wales has withdrawn
his yacht Britannia from all the races
yet to be sailed this season, and the boat
ID to be laid up for the Winter.
No other boat can be substituted for
the Britannia as the defender of the
cup without the consent OF the New
York Yacht Club, and It Is not likely
that will be given In the absence OF any
good reason for Britannia's default 1t
u said the Princes determination to
withdraw from the regattas is due to the
accident on Saturday last, by which the
chief officer and steward OF Britannia
lost their lives. But this is scarcely a
satisfactory reason for the cancelling
of the Cape May Cup race.
There are those who believe that
Albert Edward is unwilling to risk the
loss OF the honors he has already won
and is afraid of Vigilant in the challenge
race. But Mr.. Gould declares his intsn,
ton 10 insist on the contest, and claims
that II Britannia does not sail against
Vigilant she must give up the cup.
Mr.. Gould will bring his yacht hom,
with fairly good record after all.

THE MAYOR AND MoUNsEER DE1BLER.

Mayor Gilroy ex-Mayor Grace. eN-
Secretary OF Navy Whitney and some
other New Workers are now In gay
"Paree." The three gentlemen named
haven't had any mass-meeting or any
thing OF that kind. and genial German
contemporary. making reckless dash
at English slang tells us that Gllroy and
Grace do not speak ~ they pass by"
As they are all over there for personal
purposes. and seemingly on pleasure
bent, It is nobody's business what they
are doing But there have been rumors
in connection with our Mayors visit to
the French capital that should be dissi-
pated at once. We have no authority
for saying so. but we feel called upon.
nevertheless, to deny the story that Mr.
Gilroy is over there dickering with
Mounseer Deibler for a brief engage
ment with his guillotine in the pantatery

WHY NOT ACT TOGETHER Z,

The Lexow Committee Is about to re-
convene and resume it's excellent work.
1t will doubtless be continued with the
vtgor and success that has hitherto
marked its progress.
But why should the searching out and
exposure OF wrong doing interfere with
the trial, conviction and punishment OF
the doors OF wrong? Why should the
Lexow investigation, In fact, be made
the instrument for at least the tenn
porary protection and keeping In office
of the public officers II Is instrumental
In proving guilty OF corrupt and criminal
acts?
the Lexow Committee can only I'M
earth corruptions with a view to the
future correction by legislation OF the
evil methods that render them possible.
1t can lay the groundwork of reform In
the future. 1t cannot give us protection
In the present nor bring guilty men to
Justice and rid the city of the danger OF
their continuance in office.
The police trials can apply an tmme-
diate remedy by driving dishonest and
unfaithful men from the force.
Mr.. Goff. able and adroit. can push a
Police Commissioner or a refractory
witness into a corner. satisfy the public
mind that corrupt practices exist and
supply the investigating Senators with
good mat erial for their report and good
grounds for urging a measure OF reform
on next years Legislature.
Mr. Wellman, strong and practical. car
bring guilt home to an offender and
make his punishment certain.
Why should they not work together
at one and the same time. the discover
les OF the ono making easier the prac'
tically useful task of the other7
Tho objections made to the police
trials on the first meeting Of the Lexow
Committee were based on the suspicion
that they might be designed to cover W
instead Of to expose crime, and to pro
| tect instead Of to punish offenders. The
results of the trials show this suspicion
to have been unfounded. and there II
now no reason why the two inquiries
should not proceed at the same time.
The Republican Police Commissioner
will make mistake II they refuse t'
allow the police trials to proceed. TIT
Lexow investigation will continue until
next February. and there is no reason
why corrupt and unfaithful officer
should be granted lease OF abused
power for the next four months.

Priceless Rubiea.

Fine rubies OF one carat are ten times
more valuable than diamonds of similar
size and quality. In appraising rubies
four points are considered-frst of all,
clsarness; second, color; third, size, and
lastly. perfect formation. A perfect
ruby is rarely or never found; cracks,
scratches and flaws are Insignificant IL
the color is good and the brilliancy is
strong. In examining these stones the

OF that kind. COME AGAIN.

A popularity Of English women is the
wearing of elaborate coiffures. Nowhere

The fashion OF parting the hair and

Meat, Vegetables and Strength

to muscular strength should not forget
that the COW is gentle and the noble
horse is strong. Their diet is grain and

The finest breeds of dogs are raised on
milk and grain. Ferocity, venom, craft

ousted England. France and Germany from the

most certainly result to the detriment OF all those

Dry-goods merchants are shrewd A
month or so ago there was cut in silks
and taffetas. In all the seasons checks
stripes and tints of color were Jumped
at 50 cents. Instead of waiting for thu
modistes and importers to get around
and bundle them up for Innings, the
managers sent the best pieces to tho
dressmaking department, and had them
made into petticoats, with clusters Of
pinked ruffles. puckered out, back cores
and responsive drawstrings of silk
braid. Now they are futtering in
beauty and airiness from the limbs Of
clothes-trees. with $3.50 price-card in
relief. 1t takes seven yards of silk to
make the model skirt. Counting the
cost of labor, thread, drawstrings and
pinking, the merchants profits are not
large.
