THE WIFE WON BY A NECK.

A West Virginia farmer quarrelled
with his wife and went out doors and
hung himself to tree. His wife cut
him down and resuscitated him. When
he had recovered his full strength he
doubled the rope and whaled her with
1t, SO that she went several laps closer
than he did to that bourne whence no
traveller returns.
a meddling wife does an awful lot OF
harm at times. The West Virginia
woman may have snatched a golden
crown right out OF her husbands hands.
She doesn't know how far he had got
in his negotiations for shining wings
and a wedge OF celestial Joy when she
cut him down of that tree. lie may
never have another chance at golden
slippers and glory. No wonder he was
mad when he returned to earth. She
deserved the lamhastng she got.
When a husband hangs himself he has
plans for his future. The wife that in
terfere with his plans is simply stand
ing In her own light. Wives should let
husbands alone in these matters, partic-
ularly when they are considerate enough
to go outdoors TO choke themselves on.

TO STATEN ISLAND FOR FIVE CENTS .

1t is to be hoped that Staten Island
people Will not be unnecessarily alarmed
over the ferry situation. II all BLUFFS
were carried out, this would be "A queer
world to live in, and Staten Island peo-
pie might have to swim or stay at home.
But as long as bluffs are bluffs. there
is no danger that Staten Island ferry
people will throw away the profits Of
even n single days business.
Staten Island is much more apt to
have two ferries than none.
When $40 will take a man across the
ocean on n fast liner, 10 cents for the
trip to Staten Island Is dazzling lure
to transportation companies. If worst
comes to worst and both Starln and
the Rapid-Transit Company fail them,
let Staten Island people gather on the
shore and hold up their little ten-cent
pieces. There'll be boats enough there
in an hour to float the universe.
The most satisfactory outcome Of the
AFFAIR that we can imagine would be
for the city authorities to declare the
sale off for non-fulflllment of conditions
and sell the franchise over again with
n five-cent fare provision. If separate
fare Is to be charged on the railroad five
cents is enough for the ferry.

A NEW CLEARINGHOUSE.

The proceedings at the ceremony OF
laying the cornerstone OF the new
Clearing House yesterday were of much
interest The address OF Mr.. q. G.
williams, the President of the Chemical
Bank. and the President OF the Asso-
citation. was a review of the operations
OF the Clearing House since It's estab-
lishment In 1853 and "A merited eulogy
OF Its patriotic course during the war
and in the panic.
II the modesty OF the President had
not stood in the way, It would have
been only just to have paid tribute
to the valuable services rendered by
Mr.. williams himself during our recent
financial troubles.
The new building will occupy an i'm
posing site, from II to SO Cedar street.
What n pity 1t Is that political
| clearing house cannot be established In
| this city, In which the debts and credits
of organizations, machlnen and bosses
| might be set off against each other and
a balance struck. The people would
then learn the true condition of parties
and leaders and be able to judge fol-
| themselves whether Plat or Croker
Gllroy or Grace. Milholland or Barney
Martin has the most-or, rather, the
least-to recommend him to public con

Brooklyn Beauties, Foreveri

To the Editor:
IL ahords the writer a pardonabe qualification
to settle beyond further dispute a question that
has been ngitating the readers OF The Evening
World for several weeks. The question refers
10 the whereabouts Of the prettiest girls that
Uncle Sam can boast OF. Such OF THE Evening
WORLD readers who have the misfortune to hail
that Chicagos girls are the ne plus ultra Of
American feminlnity. The adherents Of the spec
tacled dvinties who futter about the city noted
Tor culture and the juicy bean, contend that
Boston girls arc the only terrestrial seraphim.,
The little Philadelphia maiden. sweet. demursl
and prim has LCi champion. as have also the
little women OF Baltimore, Cincinnati and other
cities where The Evening World is read But
what Is most astonishing to a reflective mind IL
that New Workers, who live In such close prox-
unity to Brooklyn, and who. consequently. ought
to know better have the temerity to argue that
New York girls are the prettiest in the realm
As Ingersoll would say. II 10 monatrously IN
believable. It is common knowledge the world
over that the fair ones OF the City Of Churches
the handsomest. wittiest, most attractive.
captivating. bewitching. fascinating and dazzling
OF all the beauties that help TO make old earth
a secondary paradise. The writer will accept the
congratulations OF all fair-minded persons for
having shown so iucidly the superiority Of the
Brooklyn girl over all her competitors

THE CATS CLAUSE AND OTHER THINGS

The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals is holding a meeting
in Albany. The whole State is repre-
scented.
Yesterday the Society resolved to pc
tition the next Legislature for law to
authorize cities to tax cats as well as
dogs, so as to give felines the dignity of
recognition under the law, now confined
to CANNES. Such an amendment to the
Dog Licensing law will be appropriately
named the cats clause. The Commit
tee on Legislation, consisting of John
p. Haines, OF this city; Col. lockwood.
Of Buffalo, and Rev. DIR. Dennis, OF
Rochester, was requested to attend the
next session Of the Legislature and see
how the cat jumps.
1t was also resolved by the Society TO
petition women not to wear the plum
age OF birds in their hats or hair. The
Society believes that the universal prev

A CONDITION PRECEDENT.

The German Emperor William Is
touch and go sort Of n young man. If
he had been so fortunate as to have
been born on this side Of the Atlantic
he would have had considerable Young
America" in him.
His latest freak is the announcement
of his intention to visit Paris during
the next Worlds Fair. This declaration
has been received with varied feelings
both in France and Germany. BY some
It is regarded as evidence OF a desire
to live in nelghborly relations with the
French people. Others attribute it to
self-conceit and wish to let the French
people see the grandson of his grand
father, while others again believe 1t is
simply an inclination on the part of a
young fellow who has been reading
Zola's novels to break loose little and
do" the gay capital.
But one French journal. La Patrle,
fires up at the Emperors effrontery
and n inounces that he will never be
permitted to enter Paris until he shall
have returned Metz and Strasburg to
France. Exactly how William is to be
prevented from going to Paris as a
private individual is not made clear.
But La Patrie, looking upon the young
gentleman as a receiver of stolen goods,
would probably cause his arrest on that
charge.
30 now Emperor William knows what
he has to do. He must send back to
France Metz and Strasburg as pres
ent. express charges paid. before he
can expect to enjoy a drive in the Bots
lounge in the foyer of the Grand Opera
smoke his cigarettes in the cafes
chantants or chat with the grisettes at
the Jardin Mabilie.
