Dry Sunday. I'm New YorE

There isn't room for doubt that Police
Commissioner Roosevelt of New York is
bigger man than old Strong" The new
reform mayor-teapot, chewing tobacco,
private flag and all-have been swallowed
out of sight in the happy and capacious
grin of the young man who quit the civil
service commission because there was not
fun enough in reforming the civil service,
and who has been having the funniest
kind of a time ever since he has been re-
forming the New York police system. To
appreciate how big a man the commits
sioner is. and how much fun he is having,
it may be necessary to quote a few statis-
tics. Ordinarily statistics are the super
lative of dry, but since the reform sizzard
struck New York statistics may be con-
sidered somewhat moist in comparison
with a Sunday in Gotham; and the statis-
tics about to be quoted are positively
damp.
A New York newspaper has figured out
that the people of that city, when they
can get it, drink about 5000 barrels of
beer day. They also drink some whisky,
some ale. some brandy, and wine, and
other spirituous liquors. But beer is the
great Gothamite drink. and may fairly
be taken as basis in making calculations
with regard 10 the Sunday drought.
Twentythree thousand barrels of beer
will turn out something like 2,5OO,OOO glass
es. 1t will not require many minutes with
a pencil to figure out how many dollars
loss to the saloon keepers is occasioned
by the stoppage of the sale of beer for
one day. and what considerable proper
ton of the weeks receipts are thus Topped
off The saloon keepers. however are not
the only people who feel the effect of the
reduced demand. Their employees feel 1t,
and so do the dairymen who make the
cheese, and the bakers who make the
pretzels and crackers which go along with
those 10000 glasses Of beer. Clipped beef
and picked pigs feet are also consumed

vised 50 many ways OF beneftting man

never send the tired city man

rect gifts Of the Great Giver Of all good
and perfect gifts. and that the credit for
them should be his.

I was standing at the end Of the depot
platform, when a little old woman drove
up with an OK harnessed to a cart, says
the Detroit Free Press, and, handing the
rope lines to a little colOred boy who was

A special correspondent found himself
shut out of a. London newspaper office in
Fleet street and unable to make himself
heard by any one within. His errand
would not wait till morning. What should
he do? He went to the central telegraph

office in Ireland asking the clerk there to

beer sellers and beer drinkers.
Some hundreds Of thousands OF people
leave New York on Sunday and go to
Brooklyn, Jersey City and the various
nearby resorts. where beer may be had.
1t has been alleged that Mr.. Commissioner
Roosevelt has reduced the New York Sun
day population to policemen and prohibit

otherwise find its way into saloon keep

money no doubt often breaks into funds
that ought to be spent for needful house

cannot contain enough of it to produce in

that they may be allowed to dispense it
on Sunday as a notwithstanding bever-

Besides affording Mr.. Roosevelt a lot
of amusement, it may transpire that the
New York dry Sunday will make a logl-
cal reform mayoralty candidate of him.

The wage-raising boom, it will be oh

back to the old scales. The Athens factory

The information from the Indian coun-
try is so conflicting as to make impossl-
BILE a correct estimate OF the situation
About the only think that seems unques-
toned is the killing of the Indian priso-
ners who were arrested upon the charge
of violating the game law. The alleged
violation of the game law, It is said, did
not conflict with the treaty between the
Indians and the United States govern
ment. Mr.. B. E. Rich Of Rexburg, Wyo,
is quoted as saying the killing of the In
dams was a bloody massacre and that
they could have been brought before the
authorities without the loss of life If
their captors had so desired. If the fore
going should prove true, it would seem
that the Indians not only have cause for
going upon the war path, but also that
they might be to a great degree excusable
for making some Of the rustlers "bite the
dust" The opinion of certain of the Chi
cago papers Is that sensational rumors
are being sent from the Indian country,
in order that contractors in that country
may get orders to furnish teams and sup
plies to troops ordered to the scene.
1t is more than probable that when the
truth shall become known 1t will appear
that mean white men were at the bottom Of
the whole trouble.

The Carnegie Steel Co. WIN Raise the
Wages Of IT'S $4,000 Employees.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, May is. The board
Of managers of the Carnegie Steel Co.
decided last night to advance the
wages of its $4,000 employees 10 per
cent, the raise to take effect on June
/. This action is entirely opposed to
what members Of the board gave out
after Saturdays meeting Oh the de.
mand for an Increase made by the fur
mace men at the Edgar Thompson fur
naces. 1t is claimed, however, that
Mr.. Frick cabled to Andrew Car
negie in England and that the
increase was first suggested
by Mr.. Carnegie. 1t is not
known what effect this action will
have on the fight of the Amalgamated
association in other mills. Outside
manufacturers claim that in many in
stances the Carnegie scale is so per
cent. lower than the Amalgamated
scale. This is the first advance since
the reduction Of 1899.
