Points of Etiquette.

It is we'll that etiquette is not carried
50 far with us as with European nations.
and yet up to certain point little fer
malities add grace to life. For III
stance, no one would wish to see the ao-
surd rules and struggle for precedence
that provoke such bitter quarrels and
heart burnings among foreigners adopt
ed by Americans. AS an Illustration OF
this we read that the English ambas-
sador who has done good service at Ber-
line declines the honor of a title which
he has justly earned because having
married the daughter of a duke so long
as he remains a commoner his wife may
enter a room in advance Of those whose
fathers did not hold such exalted rank
But should her husband accept a peer
age she would, as the wife of peer, be
obliged to sink to his level, and those
who have folio we'd her could then pass
her by. 1t all seems very silly, but the
story brings to mind the gentle courtesy
that ought to be shown to those among
Us who are older or deserving of defer
ence. Every well taught child knows
that she should not rush ahead Of grown
persons but as she grows older she IS
apt to be careless and may forget that it
is a mark of good breeding to stand
back and allow her elders to pass before
her, to be preferred before her in every
instance. Much Of the confusion at the
bridge and along the elevated roads
would be avoided if the public would re-
member that those about to enter should
wait until persons leaving have had a
chance to pass. The men in charge may
not be approved masters Of etiquette,
but to the courteous their shouts are

arehy? When one remembers the har-
mony and enthusiasm that were enlisted
against Tammany last faal. the present
chaotic efforts at a reform combination
seem rather tame. For many reasons
the enthusiasm has dropped out Of the
reform movement. Mr.. Roosevelt is
largely responsible for this fact. because
of bis sturdy efforts to suppress Sunday
beer. This was a hot summer and
very large part of our population are
either Of Teutonic extraction or Teu-
tonic tastes. Both Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mayor Strong are left very much in the
lurci by the new reform alliance, whi n

puhilcans and the State Democrats. on a
curious.y ~orded excise plank. But all
the other elements Of last years reform
combination seem tc be wandering in

refuge under the wing Of Tammany.
The Good Government Clubs have a
ticket of thei: own, and 1t is bound 10
attract the support of many Of the real
Independents. The German-Americ2n II
Reform Union. which was very i'm
portant element in last years campaign
against Tammany, has now Joined forces
with that ancient organization in favor
of more liberal Sunday laws. The
Stecklers and O'Briens are each run
ming an independent branch of reform
but they are more likely to drift 10
Tammany than to the fusion camp.
It has seemed difficult this year to
rouse interest in the reform cry. The
reason is that the city really has re-
form. The streets are cleaner than ever
before. the city departments are we'll adj
ministered. the excise laws have been
enforced. and everybody ought to be
happy. But they are not. Such is the
Inconsistency Of human nature. Reform
has cost much money, and has tread on
nearly everybody's toes. The old prob
lem is presented of harmonizing ideal
government with personal liberty. 1t is
no discredit to the present city officials
that they have not solved it. Nobody

A feature Of the present business stu
alton is the high prices that at present
characterize the real estate market.
Sales have been somewhat checked by
the strong prices asked during the past

tural result of previous free buying.
The grand jury, in presenting Mr.. John
3. Ireland. the owner of the building
which recently fell, crushing out several
lives, expressed its regrets that it could
not find an Indictment that would be
likely to result in conviction. The grand
jury had previously indicted for man
slaughter several Of the persons imme-
diately responsible for the poor construc-
ton Of the building. There is no doubt
that Ireland. by his parsimonious meth
DDS, was the real party at fault, but the
contractors who took his orders and exc
cuted them also took on their own
shoulders the legal responsibility for the
criminal negligence resulting in the dis
aster. Hence the doubts in the minds
OF the grand jury.

The question of American versus Eng
lsh athletics continues to be the talk OF
the clubs. 1t is to be said of the Eng
fish athletes who were beaten here this
year. that they took their defeat in q
manly way. There was no attempt tC

It is to Yale College that American
athletics owes its great stimulus. 1t has
long been a source Of wonder to all why
the Yale boys were so uniformly success
full in their contests with rival colleges.
The English athletes have discovered the
secret. 1t is to the faithfulness and sci
entific nature Of their training that the
Yale athletes owe their success. Har-

the English system Of training, with a
result that they have quite uniformly
bowed their heads to "Old Eli The

The written challenge from the Royal
Victoria Yacht Club for another contest
for the America cup next year was re-
ceived by the New York Yacht Club this
week. The challenge is, as stated, with
out conditions. the New York Yacht
Club being merely asked to give infor-
nation as to dates. courses and condi-
tons. No more sportsmanlike challenge
was ever received for the cup, and Mr..
Rose and his yacht Distant Shore will
have a hearty welcome and fair field
next year. 1t IS believed that Lord
Dunraven will also try to get on race

committee is willing to waive the time

Postmaster Dayton has done ne more
popular thing than in securing better
sanitary conditions for his employees in
the big granite structure on the south
side Of City Hall Park. This is the most
important post-office in the country, and
the volume of business that passes
through it is immense. A large number
of the employees were crowded in the
basement. which for years had been
damp, ill-smelling and unwholesome. ALI
this Is now changed. All the basement
rooms have been renovated and cleaned,
and improved lighting and ventilating
introduced. IE fact, this portion Of the
building. where over three hundred SER
wants of Uncle Sam toll, has been made
as bright and wholesome as any part of
the building.
A living witness to the changed condi-
ton Of affairs is old Harry Taylor, who
has worked in the Post-Office for forty
years. He is getting little feeble now,
but does his work as well as ever. A

A Dentist for Their Employees.

There is q large manufacturing estab-
iishment on the west side which employs
dentist to examine the teeth Of all appli-
cants for work. If a tooth has a cavity
it must be filed, or, If it Is too far gone,
it must be pulled. This dental work Is,
in most cases, done at the expense Of the
factory, and has proved to be wise econ
omy. Little time is lost on account of
toothaches. Teeth Of employees are ex-
amined at regular intervals, whether
they are giving Their owners any trouble
or not.-Chicago Ti.nes-Hera1d.

Now that Gen. Miles has been called
to New York to take command of our
little but well-drilled army of 80, 600 men,
Major-Gen. Francis H. Ruger has been
assigned to the post at Governors ISL
and. which is the headquarters of the

was born in this State, at Lima, Liv-

at West Point in the class Of 1854. After
some campaigning on the plains he set

tise of the law. The civil war brought
him to the front as Colonel of the Thiro
Wisconsin Infantry. He served gallant
ly throughout the war, and retired with
the rank of Brigadier-General. He then
entered the regular army, as Colonel,
and has risen by meritorious service to
his present rank.
1t is proposed to make Governors ISL

quarter there a regiment Of infantry
and also one of artillery. There has
