People who live In the town of Newburgh,
N. Y. are greatly disturbed over the fact
that the Post-Ofiics Department has decided
to drop the letter "h'' from the city's name.
Protests are being made against the
change. But the citizens of Newburgh.
N. Y, should not be unreasonable. In the
Postal Guide of not so very lcng ago there
were nine post-ofiices entitled "Newburgh''
and eight post-offices that were New
burg" The real trouble with the Post
Office Department is that 1t does not bring
about so many changes in the spelling as
to make 1t certain that no two names of
post-offices Will be alike. Now there are
In the United States thirty-one post offices
named "Wash.ngton." Would there he any
reasonable objection to ringing in a sufIl-
cient number Of photographed changes to
lender confusion less of possibility?
Washington. Ark. might, for Instance be
spelled "Washyngton." while Washington
Ga. could have the letters me- added and
so on to the end of the chapter There Is
ample room In the word for variety, and
If the suggestion thus casually thrown out
is acted upon 1t may be that the citizens
of Newburgh. N. Y. Will be quite content
to lose their highy-prized "h" if. when
they do so. they receive the assurance that
some other Newburgl will have Its name
spelled "Nooburgh"

leader should be disturbed as to a matter
comparatively Insignificant. When Tam
many re!gned on Manhattan Island the
New York policeman controlled great
deal more than the street traffic, which to
him was of no consequence. He elected
presidents and governors and mayors and
aldermen and members of the common
council; he crushed the enemies of Tam
many and made prosperous the business
efforts of the faithful; he exacted tribute
from all classes save those who paid their
tribute directly to the BOSSES" he closed
the saloons in which he was not welcomed
as favored guest and permitted the gin
mills of his friends to be in a perennially
open condition; for sufficient financial con-
sideration he granted the unwholesome
privilege of disgraceful lawlessness, and
in a thousand ways did things which to
the London policeman are impossible. 1t
is likely that the New York force WILL in
the near future. more nearly resemble the
London force than it did during the days
of Mr. Croker's supremacy. Estoppcd
from the exercise of Illegal powers. the
New York bluecoats will, If carefully di-
rected. doubtless turn their energy into
legitimate channels, and out of this change
may come even such marvellous efficiency
in regulating the street traffic as aroused
Mr. Croker to admiring expression.

claim to be a general library, and would
not sap the resources upon which such
library must depend for its creation and
maintenance. On the contrary. like the
creation of small libraries In connection
with the high-grade schools, it would em
phasize the need of books. and increase the
hunger for books, and would tend to hasten
the day when the general circulating IL

TIE pabulum of the humorous para
ERA pher IS gradually undergoing a change
one by one the old favorites fall out
OF public favor or become thoroughly di-
gested. The messenger boy. who has so
long served a rival to the snail and
the bobtail horse car. has at last declared
his independence Boys representing the
messenger service of four concerns have
just run a great road race on bicycles at
i dianapoli5 over a rough and hily course
a little over fourteen miles In lenSth. Two
Postal telegraph boys won the first and
second prizes in the remarkable time Of
+3 3-4 minutes. Never again can the mes
senger boy be rated as n slow poke. This
tine considering the age of the riders and
the character of the course. WAS pro-
nounced by experts who witnessed tho
race as almost phenomenal. and the twcn-
tieth century humorst will be obliged to
look elsewhere than in the ranks of the

utterarce to his regrets that owing to
Tammany's downfall last November the
police force in New York is much inferior
to that which is responsible for the peace
OF the British metropolis. L. Is en-
thusasm Mr.. Croker has even gone so
far as to insist that If Tammany only
had uninterrupted control of municipal
matters in New York the results would
approach closely to the ideal. One of the
things most admired by Mr.. Croker is the
autocratic control of traffic which the Lon
don policeman has: comparison between
the New York and London forces seems
to excite Mr.. Croker's envy. To those
who know how great Were the powers
possessed by Gotham's policemen under

Citizens who criticise the address de-
livered before the faculty and students of
Yale by Justice Brown of the United States
Supreme Court have perhaps been rather
hasty in their condemnation. 1t is true that
Justice Brown pointed out prospective
troubles which may in the future become
materialzei, and there is ground for the
accusation that the justice leaned toward

Judge Brown did not decide. and could
not decide that no libel had been commit
ted in Washington IN the Dana case He did
not decide. and could not decide. that a
constitutional right had been outraged by
the proposition TO try Mr.. Dana and Mr..
Laffan here for the offence here committed
He merely decided that he could not compel
the accused persons 10 go to Washington
for trial. If under the law of the band no
libel had been committed In Washington
and II under the Constitution libel printed
in a New York paper could be punished
nowhere else than in New York then Mr..
Dana and Mr.. Laffan could not be tried
here though they came to Washington vol
unfairly and faced the music brarely, for
the Constitution and statutes of the United
States are IN as full force at the national
capital as in New York. The difficulty
about administering Justice IN this case is
rot that the Constitution irterferes or that
no law has been violated here. but that the
offenders Cannot be caught, just when a
fugitive from justice has gained refuge in i
country with which We have no extradition
treaty or which refuses to extradite him.

LIGHTNING STRUCK HIS POCKET.
His Trousers Scorched Little, but N,
Harm Done to Sexton.

New York, July 2-During the heavy
shower on Saturday afternoon, lightning
played queer prank on Peter F. Sexton,
at the Hotel Minot, Eighth avenue and
126th street. Sexton, who works in the
hotel, was sitting talking with friend
at an open window on the second floor.
In the heaviest part Of the storm there
came a binding flash. Sexton simultane-
ously jumped to his feet, giving yell,
and clutching at his trousers in the re-
gion of his left-hand pocket.
Flame seemed to burst from the pocket,
and as the alarmed man tore away part
of that side of his trousers, the contents
of the pocket fell to the floor There
were four cents, door key, knife, and
a box of safety matches. Sections friend
picked up the knife, but found it so hot
that his fingers were burned. The key
was charred as though it had been on
fire, and the leather to which it was fast
ened was scorched. Each of the cents
burned a circular spot on the carpet
where they fell. The matchbox was
charred all along one side, but not
match was fired.
There were two slight burns on the
mans left leg, but neither was serious
enough to raise a blister. The trousers
were badly scorched. Sexton says he felt
only slight shock, and thought at first
that the matches in his pocket had in
some way been ignited
