The doctor. who had given Davy up,
his father and mother and a few sor-
rowing friends, sat by his pillow and
famed him necessarily To keep the
breath Of life in his frail little body.
There was no sound of talking or
weeping. but an utter silence which
was suddenly broken by the sweet
song of bird.
They all heard it and on each it had
a peculiar influence, something un-
canny, like the speech of inani.-ate
things But Davy was TRANSPORTED.

NO HIGHER YET.

Mr.. Con made the session Of the
Lexow Commission lively yesterday, but
II was not as sensational as that OF the
preceding day.
One witness testified to the arrest of
a sandwich peddler for plying his trade
on Sunday. Mr.. Meredith, the banker,
related the particulars OF the assault
on him by some thieves In a chowder
club procession. Thomas Lucas, the
dubbed truckman, told the story of the
needless violence alleged to have been
used upon him. Mrs. Sarah Brown
colored, who kept Russian and sulphur
baths and asserts that she was perse-
cuted by the police because she would
not submit to blackmail, graphically
described the wrongs she claims to have
suffered A witness from Brooklyn de-
scribed how his brother had been ar
rested and made to pay SIS for having
erected an awning in this city without
a permit.
The record OF grievances was relieved
by a somewhat acrimonious attack on
the philanthropic President Of the So

Chilren by Lawyer Goff Commodore
! Gerry asked to be heard as to the So
| ciety's action in the case OF Mrs. Ur-
chittels children, but was refused the
privilege. and was told by Mr. Con

next wanted to appear before the Com

ARE WHEELS IN HILLS HEAD

Any man who has ever taken the
family sewing machine to pieces. and
upon getting IL together again has found
one wheel left out, and nothing except
the fact that the machine won't work
to Indicate where 1t ought to go. will
appreciate the plight of Chief Engineer
Hill of the Democratic machine.
After thorough cleaning, repairing
and general overhauling he has the
machine set up again and ready for
business, all except that measly little
Harmony wheel. which clearly belongs
somewhere, but he can't for the life Of
him tell where. Whether 1t goes In be-
tween the Tammany wheel and the
Grace wheel, or whether II belongs next
to the Shepard wheel, or whether again
1t ought to be just under the Committee
OF Seventy wheel and over the Cleveland
wheel. is a puzzle that the chief engi-
neer, familiar as he Is with the working
OF the machine. is unable to solve.
II he puts II in the wrong place per-
haps II will smash the whole machine
as soon as steam is turned on. and he
can't leave 1t out entirely, for II II were
not necessary to the proper operation
of the machine It would never have
been made.
Meantime. while the chief engineer
worries and wonders. time passes, cleo
ton day draws near. and over In the
other shop Chief Engineer Platt is
peacefully grinding away at his own
machine, which seems never to get
out of order.
Contemplation of Engineer Platts ma

idea to Engineer Hill. The Platt ma

1T SHOULD BE FIVE CENTS.

A lively contest Is going on between
rival applicants for the Staten Island
ferry. The old Company wanted the
lease. John II. Starin wanted IT and set
a dummy to work to obtain It. Now,
complications arise and no one knows
what the end will be.
1t is noteworthy that all this time the
last thirgs seemingly thought about
are the interests and wishes OF the peo-
Ile of Staten Island. The value of real
estate there will. OF course, always be
de pendent in great measure on the
character of the ferry facilities. The
business OF the county can be aided or
H. iured largely by the increase or de-
crease OF ferry accommodations. But
the people are not considered in the
scramble OF spectators for the ferry
privileges and profits.
a ten-cent fare to Staten Island is
CNorbitant. A five-cent fare would very
largely benefit all the inhabitants OF
the island. add to the value OF Its reaI
estate, increase Its population and raise
its availability as a pleasant Summer
residence and popular resort
Why should not the public interest,
be guarded by the terms OF the lease II

such a scramble for the ferry prlyil

NO PUGn1sT1C IvANHoE NOW.

From a purely pugilistic point Of view,
II Is eminently gratifying to note that
Mr.. James ]. Corbett. champion, etc,
has returned to his proper senses and &C
coded to the determined demand of Mr..
Robert Fitzsimmons for a meeting In a
squared circle arranged for two. But
the matter IL not without its dsappoint-
ments for the select few who had grasped
at a recent straw OF hope for a new and
chivalric turn In the affairs OF the prize
ring.
When Mr.. Corbett issued his now su-
perseded manifesto, declaring for a
weeks steady occupation of the arena
with fresh opponent every night. there
was in the proposition a suggestion Of a
return to the fashion OF that chivalric
period when armored knights met each
other in the tournament: when champion
downed champion, one after another.
until the lists were exhausted and one
remained victor over all to receive the
conquerors garland from the Queen OF
Love and Beauty To be sure, the old
knights broke lances. while the spe-
cialty of Mr.. Corbett and his ilk lies In
breaking faces. But that Is a matter OF
detail.
1t required little stretch OF magma
ton to see. In the minds eye. a Front-de-
Boeuf in fve-ounce gloves or an Athel-
stane in the pink OF condition facing the
doughty Californian under ring rules
and also under the eye Of a Prince John
OF sportingdom, present with all his ret
niue. And In the mind. too. one easily
heard the crash OF swinging blows, the
crack OF upper-cuts and the dull thud OF
the straight-from the shoulder sockdol-
lager. There might even be Black
Knight in the muss. though sporting
gentry do declare that Mr. Peter Jack.
son has gone to Australia under circum'
stances strongly indicating a desire tc
place the earth between himself and
Champion Corbett.
But It's OF no use to imagine anything
now. The thing Is probably to resolve
Itself into a plain Corbett- Fitzsimmons
go" Except, that II easy-going Rober
should win. the excesses of the ban
quet, at old Ashby Castle. after Primo,
Johns tourney. are more than likely t,

THE STORY OF THE WAR.

THE Worlds" exclusive special de-
tails of the complete victory Of the
Japan army over the Chinese at Ping
yang are Of much interest.
THE World" took the precaution TO
engage the services OF a capable, edu-
Gated japanese in addition to those OF
Its own able American correspondent
in obtaining a truthful history OF the
Corean war. This attache was present
at the Pingyang fight. and was in a
position to secure the fullest and most
reliable details OF the engagement and
its results, being assigned to duty on
the Commanding Generals stan.
The summing up tells that an army of
more than twelve thousand men was
practically annhilated: four Generals Of
renown surrendered; the entire store of
weapons and ammunition fell into the
hands OF the Japanese. and a good
amount of treasure was captured.
1t Is shown by the story OF this eye
witness that the Japanese army was
well handled, that considerable mill
tary skill was displayed in the conduct
Of the campaign. that the men fought
bravely and that good discipline was Sc
cured both before the battle and after
the victory. THE Worlds" special and
exclusive account fully explains the
causes of the evident superiority of the
japanese forces over the Chinese. Japan
had an army in the field. China had a
mob.

mors of excessive barbarity are un-
founded and that there was no unnec-

A WAR FLUTTER.

There has been war nutter in Eng
land. The Cabinet was called together
hurriedly last Tuesday. and a report
spread that the country was threatened
with rupture with France. The Stock
Exchange was excited, and spectators
began knocking securities about like the
ball in a college game Of football.
II was soon discovered that nothing
was the matter with France; that she
was all right. and that no bone OF CON
tention was threatened In Madagascar
But is the outlook so wholly free from
danger? The Cabinet meeting. It APP

Food does not in itself strengthen, but

how much one eats, he still has to rely
