THE cHEERruLNEss OF ourIAwRY.

The outlaw leads merry life and
meets a miscellaneous death. He Is the
black sheep of the Populist family. The
only difference between him and PETER
or Jerry Simpson Is that he explains his
politics with a pistol and the other
shoots off his mouth. Then, again, the
outlaw doesn't mincs matters; he is
after what other people have. and
doesn't pass resolutions or wait to be
introduced before he proceeds to take
1t away from them.
Outlawry isn't very popular In this
country. Populism Is permitted to faunt
Itself little from the hastings, because
talk Is cheap and nobody in particular
has to pay for II. but outlawry isn't
given the slightest ghost OF show
The melodramatic manner in which Bill
Dalton and his bandit gang were made
to bite the dust in Oklahoma by n
United States Marshals posse makes
that point as lucid as the most lawless
could desire to have It.
The outlaw seems to like his business,
though. The reckless raid on train or
bank; the mad gallop away with the
doodle: the whistle OF following bullets
the escape; then the surprise and the
quick flash OF death from the pitiless
revolver or rife-these are the exciting
delights Of his wild. peace-defying, prop.
| erty-destroying existence. There's fur
| In 1t, but it's bad for ones health. Il
seems to us that the mistake most out
laws like Bill Dalton make is not com
ing to New York and leading u pluto
genous political career.

TUM0R FROM A BABES THROAT
Successful Operation on a Three.
Weeks-Old Infant.
The Foreign Growth Was as Big as
the Child's Head.

A large tumor was removed from the
throat of a three-weeks- old baby at the
Mount Vernon Hospital last Saturday
afternoon. The baby was the youngest
patient ever operated on in the hospital.
and as the operation was a very deli
cate and dangerous one, the twelve sur
geons connected with the hospital all as
sembled in the operating room.
The young patient was Lily Trainor.
She is the daughter OF Italian-American
parents.
The tumor was In the child's throat
at her birth. 1t increased rapidly, and
at the end OF three weeks was nearly
four inches In diameter, and extended
from under the right ear to the middle
Of the chin, and was fully as large as
the child's head.
Saturday afternoon the baby was
taken to the operating room of the
hospital. Chloroform was administered
by DIR. w. f. Greene and the tumor
was successfully removed by DR.. ]. N.
Knapp, assisted by DR.. F. A. Shipman.
The little patient was kept under the
influence of the chloroform for two
and a half hours.
Contrary to the expectation of the sur
geons. the child recovered rapidly from
the effects of the operation. 1t Is now
considered out OF danger. The cut in
her throat, which Is Ave inches long,
Is healing nicely.

THE JUST CRITICISM.

The chucklings OF the Republican Rep
resentatves over the adoption OF n
quorum counting rule by the Democratic
House as vindlcation OF Roisterer
Reeds arbitrary rulings in the Fifty
first Congress are not warranted by the
facts. There is all the difference be-
tween the two that there is between
statute law and lynch law.
Reeds action was the arbitrary count
ing OF quorum at the will of one man
without any law or rule to authorize It.
without appeal and frequently in de-
fiance OF truth. 1t was a gross and au-
dacious usurpation.
The rule adopted by the present House
is the legal action OF the majority to
whether 4 quorum is present for legis-
lative purposes. even II the object OF
some of the members IL to obstruct legis-
lation by flibustering.
The legitimate criticism OF the Demo-
cratic policy is that II is not forced
upon the majority by the course OF the
Republican minority. but is the conse-
quence OF the unseemly and rcprehensi-
BILE conduct OF Democratic Congressman
who absent themselves from their seats
and thus prevent the presence OF Dem
ocratic quorum.
Independent OF the character Of the
new rule. It Is disgraceful to the major
ity that 1t should be necessitated by the
misconduct OF Its own party.

BEER WAR THREATENED.
Chicago brewers Won't Agree to
Raise the Price Per BarreI.


CHICAGO, April 20.-There is likely
to be beer war this Summer. For
weeks a committee representing nearly
all the forty-two breweries In the late
beer pool have been trying to patch
up the old agreement and raise the
price to So n barrel. But recent de-
velopments indicate that Instead of
profitable peace, war will be raging
by May |, as the Committee has failed
to Induce outside brewers to Join the
agreement.
Leo Ernst, for three years Vice-Presi-
dent and general manager OF the Mil
waukee and Chicago hreweries the Eng
lish- American Company that controls
number of Milwaukee and Chicago
brewerles, has decided to avail himself
Of the terms OF his contract by retir-
ing from the syndicate and building IA
big brewery OF his own.
There are rumOrs that the Milwaukee
and Chicago hreweries OF the consoll-
dated concerns are known, are liable To
duplicate the history of the big brew
cries at Baltimore, indianapolis and
several other cities. where, after being
operated several years by English
American syndICates, the plants finally
drifted back TO the control OF their
original owners. This has left many
English capitalists with lower bank ac-
counts, but higher opinions OF the
financial ability OF their American

JEWELLER DUCKLER IN JAIL
Sued for $1,000 by a Firm of
Diamond Dealers.
They Say He Transferred Property
to Defraud Them.

Adolph Duckler, formerly a manu-
featuring jeweller, at 233 Delaney
street, was arrested late yesterday af-
ternoon by Deputy Sheriff Wagering,
and in default of $500 bail was lodged
in Ludlow Street Jail.
He is sued by Norden & Co., diamond
cutters and dealers. at As Maiden lane,
to recover 81, 600. the value of diamonds
obtained by him from the firm.
Norden 4 Co. allege that on Sept. 2.

purchased the gems on credit.
The firm had previously done business
on credit with Duckler. but the amounts
involved were smaller.
They allege that on this occasion.
when questioned as to his financial
status. Duckler assured them that he
was entirely solvent and that in addi-
ton to his business he owned a house
and lot at 80 Willett street.
the firm finally let Duckler have 81. 600
worth of diamonds. and he agreed to
pay for them by giving Norden & Co.
eight Understanding promissory notes
OF 500 each. When the first note be-
came due. four months later. and was
not paid, Norden & Co. obtained judg-
ment against Duckler and began pro-
ceedings to collect their money.
They allege that they then learned
that Duckler. In the latter part OF Au.
gust, or just before he bought the dia-
monds. had given his wife a bill of sale
for his business, and had also trans
ferred to her the house at 80 Willett
street
They also allege that he at the sale time
drew all his money from the Union
Square Bank and redeposited it under he
name Of ''Adolph Duckler, attorney
as manager for his wife, who. he said
owned the business.
Norden & Co. allege that Duckler re
ceived no consideration from his wifi,
for his property. and that the transfer
was made to defraud his creditors

Even II Republican State Senators
will sell out their party and their State,

ators to prevent the success OF the evil
transaction. The Sheffield Mayors bill

not such question, intrinsically. 1t Is
a bill calculated to unfetter New York

Increase and Scattering OF SMALL

Or. Doty, Chief OF the Bureau OF Con.

over the numerous and remotely scat.
tered cases OF smallpox that have oc-
CURED in the city during the last ten
days. He has consequently determined
for the next thirty days, to make the In

the big factories, stores, lodging houses
and public institutions throughout the
city as hastily as possible.
The work was begun last night when
twenty-four Bowery lodging-houses
were visited by n corpse OF inspectors
and vaccinators and 800 Of the nomadic
occupants found in them vaccinated.
Fully three times that number were IN
spected and found to have been recently
vaccinated.

A TRUST FUND ROBBED.

When the police census reported near
ly seventy thousand men unemployed in
the city and about half that number
of families in urgent need of assistance.
every available means of relieving the
distress was in operation. THE
Worlds" Free Bread Fund. THE Even
ing Worlds" Free Food Distribution,
the various benevolent institutions. the
churches, the Mayors Fund and other
equally laudable movements were Mt
work doing n vast amount OF good. As
n valuable aid the Legislature authorized
the expenditure OF one million dollars on
park improvements. not because inn
provements were necessary, but because
by making them labor could be provided
and unemployed men and their families
saved from starvation.
What crime can be conceived more
Infamous than the incorporation OF
this sacred fund or of any portion OF 1t?
The charge has been made and never
refuted that the tickets for labor paid
out of this fund were mainly given to
political leaders for use among their
party heelers and not to the deserving
and suffering poor. And now THE
Evening World" brings to light the
revolving fact that the labor tickets
were absolutely sold for money to those
who could afford to pay for them.
This Is scarcely credible. 1t Is almost
impossible to believe such a sickening
story OF gro I'd I'd inhumanity. Yet the
proof Is convincing as far as II goes,
and who can tell the extent to which II
reached?
II ever n searching and implacable in
vestigation was made OF a wrong. It
ought to be pursued to the bitter end
in this case.

JUDGE GOODENOW WAS ILL.
Denies that He Was Intoxicated
When He Fell in the Street.
Court Believed the Boston Lawyer
and Discharged Him.

John Holmes Goodenow. sixty-four
years old, ex-Justice of the Supreme
Court OF Massachusetts,. retired Bos-
ton lawyer and member of the Univer-
sity Club. was arraigned in jefferson
Market Court this morning on a charge
of intoxication and discharged.
Judge Goodenow presented a pitiable
appearance. His collar was torn, blood
was on his face and neck and shirt
and one eye was partially closed. He
had evidently undergone some rough
experiences.
The policeman who arrested Judge
Goodenow, said that he found the pris-
in front OF l03 West Twenty-eighth
street. unconscious.
His head and clothes were bloody.
and he had a scalp wound on the back
or his head. He was unconscious. The
policeman said he had been drinking.
The officer called an ambulance. When
i arrived the surgeon dressed the
wound In Judge Goodenow's head and
street station-house.
When sufficiently revived, the lawyer
told the sergeant that his home was In
Boston, but that he was frequently here,
was a member OF the University Club
and had been stopping at the Victoria
Hotel. He sent for friends. but they
did not receive his message. or else did
not know enough to go around and bail
him out.
Judge Goodenow told the Court that he
had attended a dinner last evening and
that he had incidentally drank some. but
merely to the extent that the average
diner out did, and that 1t was sickness
and not the effects of what he had taken
at dinner, that had caused him to fall In
the street.
The apparel OF the prisoner, his de-
mcanor and address bore out all his
| statements. Two friends appeared In
court, too, and vouched for him. and
with evidence OF sympathy the Justice
discharged him.

From the report made by Capt. Philip
1t appears that the New York was n
cranky cruiser, instead of a crack
cruiser, when she went into commission
She had revolving turrets that wouldn't
whirl ammunition carriers that
wouldn't carry, and her magazines were
placed where the ships fires would raise
the temperature to 1870 or 40 degrees-a
most uncomfortable heat for modern
powder, All this is peculiarly distress
ing, coming, as II does, hard upon the
revelations about the armor-plate
frauds at Homestead. New as our navy
is, the stories of fraud and misconstruc-
ton hanging about 1t already seem old.
