How to Throw a Horse and Kill Hin.

from it passed between the horses
front legs, a turn being taken around

The Executive Committee of the Ma

ton of Admission Day by the Grand Par
lor in this city.

from abroad, nearly $1,000 worth OF

In New York the builders of high
buildings struck a snag recently. They
discovered that the water pressure is in
sufficient to carry water to the upper
stories. Thereupon they appealed to the
authorities to put taxpayers to new ex-
pense 10 force water to the tops of these
towers of Babel. But the authorities
very properly refuse to do SO, and say to
the sky-scrapers if you will build towers
provide your own water supply. The
matter has stirred the people. and there is
now talk of the erection of such buildings
being an odious exercise of the right OF
property. The outcome promises to be
an ordinance forbidding buildings in ex-
cess of given hight. In San Francisco
the proper committee of the local legis-
lature has already reported an ordinance
prohibiting the erection of structures in
excess of 100 feet in hight This is right.
The excessively tall building dwarfs ad-
jacent architecture. 1t is gross pushing
of right into prominence. and often very
Extensively. They deprive adjacent
owners OF their righ. to light and sir in
plenty. AS water pressure seldom
reaches the top stories of these towers,
the buildings become menace to city
because of lack of protection against fire.
So grave is the matter considered in New
York that the EUensng Post of that city
remarks:
1t is high time that the subject should be
considered. The possibilities of disaster in
the of buildings 200 feet high may be
very small; but II disaster should occur, it
would be on an appalling scale. As has been
proved in the recent case of the Ireland build
ing, there may be q weak spot unobserved or
sighted, and the whole structure may col
lapse. The problems involved demand for
their solution the skill not only Of architects,
and engineers, and 1iremen, and insurance
experts, but alzo of physicians and lawyers.
n commission OF eminent men in these de-
partments ought to be appointed at once. II
any restraints are to be imposed on the hight
OF buildings, they ought 10 be imposed now.
If there are none, property owners are en-
titled TO receive such assurance.

THE Atlanta Exposition authorities
have granted q concession for the erec-
ton of whisky bar in the Negroes
Building. Thereupon Mr.. Johnson,
Secretary of the Colored Peoples Asso-
citation of the District of CoIum bia, enters
g protest. He well says that it is shame
and disgrace; that the authorities must
know that where there are thousands of
oolorsd people congregated in the Expo
sikion Building a cheap whisky bar will
be sure TO engender trouble; that it is
bad enough to have hundred extra bars
outside the buildings. but to put one in
the Negroes Building, to the construc-
ton of which colored people all over the
United States have contributed, is to in
suit decency. He insists that unless the
concession is cancelled, his association
should use its best endeavors to keep
people from attending the fair. And Mr..
Johnson is right. There will be whisky
enough in Atlanta, and cheap stuff, too,
without setting up q bar in the Colored
Peoples Building. It is a stigma upon
the exhibitors in that building that
should be removed at once, and apologies
offered for the original offense.

they will find out if they try it. A neutral
may on the high seas deliver oontraband
goods, but neutral Government must
be diligent to an extraordinary degree to
prevent shipment of contraband to reb-
els, and to that end must hold in arrest
its own citizens if necessary. That is the

THE Illinois State Prison authorities, it
develops at the Prison Congress, have
drummsrs on the road throughout the
country soliciting for sale of the products
of the prison. That Is business. But the
amusing phase Of IL is this, that hundreds
of men who rave against prison labor and
who roar about it, notably in California,
unWittingly buy and use the products of
convict labor from the prisons of other
States. Warden Allen stated to the Con-
gress that opposition to convict employ
ment In Illinois comes not from working
men, but from the contractors. The
simple, easily understood truth In this
whole matter is this: The unemployed
convict costs the people more than the
criminal who is made to work, not on
treadmills, but In some productive indus
try. The worst possible use to which the
convict can be put, so far as society is
concerned, is TO keep him in idleness.
Economy and the true interests of free
labor demand that the convict be re-
quired to produce enough by his labor to
pay for his conviction and keeping.
