there is no other place Of anything like the
population and pretentions Of the Federal
city where SO much indifference exists on the
part Of the authorities regarding the char
acter and condition Of those portions OF the
streets used by pedestrians.
Bricks are excellent in buildings and sewers
and for many other useful purposes; but we
believe it will be generally admitted that for
footwalks a much better and less expensive
article can be found. Natural and Artificial
stone is now no more costly than brick, is
more durable, looks better, and is far more
comfortable to people whose incllnations or
necessities compel them to go afoot.
We cannot all have horses and carriages;
some Of US are physically incapable OF mas
tering the 'silent Wheel" and a large
majority of US cannot afford the luxury Of
either.
Human beings are surely entitled to as
much consideration as dumb animals or
riders Of bicycles, and in any contemplated
scheme of public improvements the, comfort
and convenience of the masses should not be
lost sight Of Many pedestrians take the
smooth, well-kept roadway In preference to
the execrsble footwalks. with their jagged
bricks. and holes and ruts and sand and
gravel, but all such do SO at the risk OF being
run down by an approaching vehicle or half
frightened out of their wits by the sharp
tinkle of a bicycle bell as the rider whirls past
at full speed.
Therefore we say, let US have better side
walks. The jagged bricks now generally in
use may add to the business prosperity OF
shoe dealers and chiropodists, but other peo-
pie have some rights which ought not to be
disregarded.
We believe there is now before the Senate a
bill which prohibits the use Of bricks in eide
walks to be laid hereafter. 1t is wise and
humane measure, and ought to be enacted
into law as speedily as possible.

The E,iauet,e of sneezine.

Referring to a recent paragraph about the
German Emperor and his introduction" at
court of a sneeze-greeting, a correspondent
says: ''The custom, of saying health TO any
one who sneezes is very old. the answer to it
being thank you 1t is to be traced back TO
some hundred years ago, when an epidemic
was raging. winding up in a sneezing fit.

MYSTERY NOT DISPELLED.

Detective Weldon Thinks He Has valu.
able Clue In the Mrs. Shipler Case.
The case Of Mrs. Isabelle shipler. the young
bride OF few weeks, who met an untimely
death as the result, it Is supposed, Of a GRIM
inal operation performed at the hands Of
some person unknown, is still as mysterious
as ever.
Although there are less clues upon which
to work, Detective Weldon has caught the
thread of what may shortly develop as very
valuable evidence. Before Mrs. Shipler was
attended by the doctors, she had been using
ergot in considerable quantities.
The medicine was not obtained from any
druggists but from an old woman. Just who
this person was is unknown, but she is sup
posed to be some quack doctor.
Both the skilled physicians and the coro-
ner's jury decided that the deceased died from
the result OF criminal operation, but the de-
tective thinks that this is only suppositional.
as the body was in such bad condition when
the examinations were made.
Mr.. Shipler. husband of the deceased, said
to Detective Weldon that his wife was not
encisnte. and denied that an abortion had
been performed. The body was so affected
with jaundice that perfect and accurate ex-
animation was almost impossible.

Rev. Byron Sunderland Believes That 1t Is
IdoIatrv in Various Forms.
"On Which Side" was the interrogatory
theme of DIR. Byron Sunderland's sermon
yesterday morning. The text embodied the
words OF Moses as he descended from Sinai
and perceived his followers worshiping the
golden calf.
1.-The root of all vice is idolatry, said DR..
Sunderland the idolatry Of money, Of
beauty. of fashion, or OF fame. The idolatry
OF the deuded Israelites was no worse than
the abot,inaoe worship We pay to gold at the
present day.
with idolatry uprooted from our civil and
social systems, the long looked-for era of
peace and prosperity will be at hand. 1t is a
fact long Observed that where greed for gold
is least apparent in nations there will be
found the utmost degree Of prosperity in the
social happiness il not in monetary sense.
lit is idolatry of gold that has led to our
pending financial troubles and that is widen
ing the gulf between the Door man and the
millionaire. 1t is vain to repose hope in the
ultimate exhaustion Of the mineral mines.
the source of our greed, but the tenor Of the
peoples aspirations must be changed We
must learn TO trust in God. rather than in the
base metal, whose possession more often
proves a curse than blessing"

An Extra Room

lFrom the Detroit (Mich) Free Press.l
The real estate man had sent the facetious
man to look at a five room house he said he
wanted. The prospective tenant found it in
need of extensive repairs, and went back to
the agents Office.
II didn't want a six room house." he said,
solemnly.
"That isn't a six room house," retorted the
agent. -
''Yes, it is"
"But say 1t IS not" and the agent began
counting them-"there's the kitchen, two
bedrooms, reception room and dining room;
that's FIVE, amt it?''
''Yes, and there's room for improvements;
that's SIX" added the facetious man, and
wanted to see something else.
