A TREASURY DISCRIMINATION.

The steamship Lucania arrived here
ON Saturday from Europe with. large
load OF passengers. Among them WAS
Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt.
When the CunaTder reached Ouaran-
tine, Mr.. Vanderbilt and his family werc
transferred TO a tug. the Chauncey NJ.
Depey, and brought directly TO the city
without waiting for the steamer to come
I'D to her dock. This departure from the
general rule took place by special per-
mission Of the Treasury Department at
Washington. The authority to take Mr.
Vanderbilt and his family from the
Lucania at Quarantine was secured from
the Secretary OF the Treasury ny Mr..
Vanderbilt's friends.
Some time ago, on the occasion OF
Richard Cookers sudden return from as
sudden 2 trip across the Atlantic, the
Treasury Department refused Brother
in-l.aw Jenkins's application to be
allowed to take the exTamnany leader
Off the Majestic at Quarantine and bring
him to the city In his own tug. Dr.
jenkins kicked against the refusal as
an "indignity," and was laughed at.
But why should the special privilege
be extended to Mr.. Vanderbilt and With
held from Mr.. Crokerr Mr.. Vanderbilt
Ia not II high Government official nor II
distinguished public character. The favor
was granted him only because he Is
rich. Mr.. Croker Is ALSO rich. although
not nearly as rich as Mr.. Vanderbilt.
1t would be interesting 10 know Just
| what amount of wealth Is necessary TO
secure the Treasury Department spe-
cial favors At what point between the
| Croker fortune and the Vanderbilt, for
tune does Treasury courtesy begin?

Big. square day pillows. with ruined

removed at night and replaced by smaller

As a little aside TO "Fosr's' discsssion with
Little ~ and a. ID. O., will not some of
your Christian readers who are so bitter against
n-belierors In tho supernatural explain why II
is that almost every agnostic il person Of con-
siderable intelligence In matters outside of re-
ligiOn, while Christians generally revert in in
telligence according To the ratio of their faith?
Is it not a fact that actual believers form q very
small portion Of Intelligent society. and that
even the leading churches are engaged TO a
much greater extent In lay matters than in
spiritual ones? No intelligent reason has ever
been given me calling for the existence OF Il
soul as Christians describe It, after death which
could not be equally applied to such an OK
istence before life. Why do not our churches
reverse matters and teach of the existence OF
God and demon in our spiritual life before birth?
In every light that 1t In It appears
Just as reasonable. Let Christian try to believe
In such prior existence and he will fnd himself
in much the condition OF mind OF the agnostic
who must "boliore or be damned" and the
free will'' notion will receive something Of

Summer Meat.

In hot weather the appetite willis Those
who work need bite of meat at least
once a day, and few dishes are more
nourishing and satisfying than nice
juicy red-hot lamb chop. There Is only
one way to cook ton broiler over
red Goals. Have a piece of well-cooked
toast buttered and sailed; lay the chop
on the brown triangle, season with a
bit of sweet, hard butter and dash OF
fine salt; trim with few sprigs OF
green; cover up and rush to the table.
Serve alone or with a small dish Of peas
cauifJwer or young beets, with drawn
butter. 4 meal of this sort Is often as
acceptable as course dinner, easily
digested and as nutritious AS anything
in the market. The i,reat secret Of god
living is the art of cooking and serving
a good thing.

YOUNG MAYS TALE OF ASSAULT
Policeman, He Says, Struck Him
at Gouverneur Hospital.
Had Reen Stabbed, but Wanted TO
Gro to Drug Store.

..rthur May, eighteen years old, claims
that he was brutally assaulted BY Police
man O'Leary, of the Seventh Precinct at
Gouverneur Hospital last night, and that
three members of the medical staff of
that institution stood by and made no
effort to prevent it, though he was badly
cut about the head before the alleged
assault occurred.
Every effort was made by the doctors
to keep the matter quiet, and no entry
OF the case was made on the blotter at
the hospital.
According to Mays story he visited
some acquaintances at 363 Cherry street
and got into quarrel with IA boy of his
own age. Finally. he says, George Dill
Ion, of 65d Water street, pulled dirk
knife and stabbed him In the head, and
also struck him with club.

Tempting the Jaded Appetite.

AS sick people do not eat a great deal.
too great a variety should not be offered
for any single day. If there is reason
to think the illness may be a long one1
the nurse should keep in mind her re-
sources in the shape of foods likely ia
be eaten by that particular patient in
that special attack. and map out the fu-
ture accordingly. In this way the more
delicate and concentrated can be held
back. For instance. beef tea should
not be served while the system is strong
enough to digest bird or chop. A
meal with piece of steak, soup, wine,
coffee and fruit is fearful for an invalc
to contemplate. Each of these foods Is
meal enough, served properly.
