4 PROTEST AGAINST "PANYs..

There is no doubt about the reforma-
tory zeal of President Roosevelt Of the
New York Police board. That is, there
is no doubt that he has such zeal.
There may, we suppose, properly be
some doubt about the quality of some
of the displays of his zeal. His zeal may
not always be according to knowledge
or according to good judgment. But
there can be no doubt in the mind of
any intelligent and judicious being
about the quality of his latest display.
And following closely after his foolish
offer to fight Comptroller Fitch it will
do much to offset the bad impression
made by that break. President Roose-
welt has, since he became connected
with New York's police force, often
heard the English language used in a
way that has hurt his feelings. He has
stood it as well as he could, and has
been busy trying to reform the deeds
of the force rather than their words.
But his patience has finally given out,
so far as the use of one word is con-
cerned. He has heard all the talk
about pants that he can stand. And
this is his protest: Pants! Pants!
Nothing but pants! The whole depart
ment seems to be haunted by pants!
Mr.. Clerk, I don't want that word to ap-
pear on the record again. And want
every inspector, captain sergeant,
| roundsman and patrolman notified that
| he wears trousers. 1t used to be ex-
pectorate Both in the police depart
ment and the board of health / never
| could get away from expectorate. After
a long and painful struggle succeeded
| in getting the board of health to use the
word "spit." Then pants bebbed up.
| to use the word trousers, but they
seem to have an inordinate fondness
| for pants. On all the records and regis
| tiers and official documents that dealt
with the mems uniforms, 1 met pants.
The irate Roosevelt is entirely right
4 in his protest and he does well to be
irate. We wish him complete success
| in this his latest reform movement.
| OF course members of the finest and
most reformed police force in the world
| should not wear pants" and it is as
| tonishing that pants" are so prevalent
| in that force. New York is far behind
| New Haven in this matter. 1t has been
| a long time since any member of the
| And it would do Mr.. Roosevelt's heart
good to hear the llanguage used by New
/ Haven policemen when testifying in
/ court concerning the antics of the
ladies' and gentlemen" whom they
have been reluctantly compelled to ar
rest. We suppose the proximity OF
Yale and the cordial intent now
prevalent between the policemen an6
the college explains the superiority OF
| the New Haven policenan's language
If Mr. Roosevelt wants to see what
lean be done by policemen in the use OF
language let him visit New Haven. He
would go home encouraged and with
renewed strength for the great reform
pants"

The responsibility of bank for the
fraudulent act of it's cashier was involv-
ed in a recent decision by the Massa-
chusetts Supreme court The defend
ants in the suit had endorsed paper,
without consideration, at the instance
of the cashier, supposing that the pa
per was honestly designed to be used
for the accommodation of the parties
for whom they lent their names. Their
defence in the suit of the bank to re-
cover were that the acts of the cashier
were to be imputed to the bank. The
court decided. however, that the &C.
ton of the cashier was an independent
fraudulent act, committed with intent
to defraud the bank, and that, there
fore, his act forms an exception to the
general rule that the principal is
chargeable with notice OF the fraud
of his agent. In this case neither the
fraud nor the knowledge of it could be
imputed to the bank, and it was deemed
to be the owner in good faith of the
paper which it took for value.

FASHION NOTES.
What to Wear a Cycling.

1t is a problem to decide on a cos
tune for wheeling, but it is pretty safe
to start from this one point settled:
Don't hope to secure a rig that will
look well and be comfortable on the
wheel and at the same time, through
some ingenious device, become in every
way suitable for ordinary uses. While
it is proper to hope to look well on the
wheel, yet women don't take to the BIZ
cycle for the sake of the appearance
they make while on it, but they ride for
amusement or for their health, That
being the case, comfort while riding is
the first consideration. When the
question of appearances is reached

From the census recently completed
in Massachusetts, it is shown that the
females constitute more than so per
cent. OF the population in each of the
cities, except Gloucester and Quincy.
The highest percentage is in Northamp-
ton, where it reaches 55.61, and the low
est in Gloucester, 42.37. The difference
in Gloucester, where the males are
considerably in excess, is said to be
due to the peculiar character Of the
city as the center of the fishing indus
try. Ten years ago there were five
cities in which the male population was
in excess of the female; but the census
also shows that the percentage which
the females constitute Of the whole pop
ulation has declined in all but seven
cities since 1885.

PEACE, TROUBLED WHEELERs.
The G. G. WIS Men Under Their Club
COlOrS.

The pride of the Capital City Wheel
men as been soothed; President Ennis
smiles more sweetly than ever, and
the one-time ruffled brows about the
clubroom and the cyclerys have
smoothed their wrinkles and no more
frowns appear.
The news comes from San Francisco
that the San Francisco press has blum
dered-as it usually does concerning the
interior-and that Hirsch and Leitch
will ride tomorrow in the tournament
as Capital City Wheelmen, and that
they never authorized publication that
they had entered as Olympians. Or~
San Francisco paper of yesterday said:
Through an inadvertence it was
stated that Leitch and Hirsch of Sac
ramento would ride under the colors Of
the Olympic Wheelmen. They are hon
orary members of the club and would
have ridden in it's road race last week
had their wheels been available. They
are still members of the Capital City
Wheelmen and will ride under their
colors on the path"
Yet it is a fact that in the San Fran
cisco press the teams for the road race
OF September 18th were named in de-
tail, and that both Hirsch and Leitch
were placed in the Olympic team.
Some one gave those entries in detail
to the papers; the reporters could not
have evolved them from the most vivid
fancy, or the depths of grossest men
dacity.
That honorary membership" some of
the c. c. VS. look upon as a bait to
catch gudgeons, but friends of Hirsch
and Leitch insist that neither is a
cyprinoid fish.

all his might at Talbot, who lodged it,
and brought the fellow up against a
fence.
Lee was placed in the hack and taken
to the jail. On the way there he ad-
mitted to Talbot that he killed the
woman, and said there was nothing less
that he could do, since she had taken to
consorting with Japs. He was locked
up on a charge of murder, and if he
doesn't hang for his crime it will be
strange indeed. In fact he says he ex-
poets to hang, and is ready to face the
gallows.
The murderer says his age is 20 years,
but he looks ter years older than that.
He is of swarthy complexion and looks
like foreigner. Lee is evidently not
his name. The officers think he is an
ex-convict.
His victim was quite a young woman,
of dark complexion and good-looking.
