The Liberty of Crime.

To the Editor:
have been very much Interested In the con-
troversy In your letter column anent the respec-
tive advantages Of America and England. Being
an Englishman visiting your country tiny visit
has extended over Ave months, must say that my
eyes have been opened to such an extent by the
letters in question and by q short study OF the
subjects discussed therein. that I am simply
amazed America is always admiringly held up
to the view OF the subjects Of monarchical gov
ernments as an exemplary pattern OF what
country should be, and the freedom Of American
citizens Ia paraded before their eyes something
bordering on the nearest ideal Of perfection 1t Is
possible to realize. but II the stof1es at present
Milling your newspapers be uue--and suppose
they must belt appears to me that you are more
to be pitied as. a nation than any other people
know OF. and as to comparing the freedom Of
America to that OF England. It il simply like
putting q ton OF iron into one side Of a balance
and onuce OF feathers into the other. America
representing the feathers. Stories Of bribery
corruption. immortality cxtortion, swindlins, die
tatorinl despotism, and even unpublished murder
are related OF your high public officials In nearly
every section Of the country. The unaceountable
mystery to an Engiishman. however, is that these
men retain their power and remain In ONCE after
their denunciation and exposure have just been
reading In the Sunday World Of the disgraceful
swindle In connection with the Central Pacific
Railway. OF course. the story must be true or
you would not print It. As understand 1t, the
particulars OF this swindle have been known for
some years. probably when more OF the principals
connected with It were alive Anyway 1t is
known now. and THE World says that one Of
them Is still living. Why on earth is he al
low ed to be at iars,! II seems to me that such
freedom as this man has. the freedom protecting
svildoers from the hand OF Justice. Is all that you
can honestly boast Of VISITOR.

In entering a room the gentleman A.

Always rise for an older person.

In making introductions the young

Never introduce any young man to
your girl friends without first asking
their permission, and then say: Miss

The late Rose Terry Cooke was not a
favorite in the little Connecticut town In
which she spent her life. Her sar-
castle tongue was much feared and
there was always a sense of relief
when she left any gathering Of women.
This unfortunate tendency Is what she
herself speaks Of in one of her delight

she says there. "is not the most soft

Been Murdered for Money.

Mrs. Mary Tobin. Of School street.
Yonkers, called at Police Headquarters
this morning to make inquiries for her
husband, who has been missing from his
home for the last two weeks. Yesterday
afternoon Mrs. Tobin received a letter
bearing New York postmark and
signed ]. Dillon, stating that her hus-
band was in Chambers Street Hospital
and asking her to call and see him.
She was told at the hospital that her
husband had never been there. Mrs.
Tobin fears that her husband has either
met with some accident and IL confined
In some institution. or else he has been
foully dealt with. There Is no reason,
she says. why he should remain away,
as his home life was happy.
He was temperate and industrious.

Hygiene of the Eye.

When the eyes are tired, rest them.
A little salt In cool water. filtered
through filtering paper, used as a wash.
will be found refreshing. but sea bath
or a sail Is the best remedy. Never
sit facing a strong light. Cross lights,
flashlights and varying colored lights
weary and strain the sight Reading in
car Is a habit that only the thought
less indulge in. There Is some mysteri-
Gus sympathy between the head and
feet. by virtue Of which a foot-bath
will often soothe aching temples and
eyes. Night work that is not absolutely
necessary Is dangerous. and the best
book that ever was written Is not worth
reading in a poor light.
