Mans Most Vulgar Habit.

eff men were compelled to wear skirts
for a period 1 think they would insist
more than they now do that their fel-
low-men should stop the nasty habit
of splitting in public" writes Edward
w. Box in the Ladies Home Jour
nal" There is no practice of man
which is more distressing to women
than this disgusting hibit. Women
constantly complain of it, especially in
our larger cities, where sometimes the
sidewalks are scarcely fit for them to
walk upon. They revolt at the practice
and they are right in SO doing. Yet
year in and year out the habit not
only continues, but increases, and the
protection of cleanliness, to which
every woman walking upon our streets
has a perfect right, is denied her. In
New York City the Board of Health
has taken the matter up on the grounds
of public health, and the police depart
ment is lending its cooperation in the
enforcement of an ordinance directed
against the evil. No action taken in
New York for years is SO highly to be
The record-union., 1897-05-06

commended. and the ordinance should
quickly extend to other cities and be
put into force. 1t is an undertaking
which public opinion will sustain in
whatever part of the country it is at
tempted. Every community should
be urged to try the experiment.
The time is ripe when every decent man
should take some steps to see to it
that the nastiest and most vulgar of all
American habits should be entirely
stopped. New York City has started
the reform. Let the Boards of Health
of a few of our other large cities take
up the question, and the reform, which
appeals to every clean minded man and
woman, will soon spread 1t is a
work in every way calling for the at
tention and action of Boards of Health
and all bodies and citizens interested in
the health of communities. The spit
ting habit is an absolute menace to the
public health. Smaller COM
munities need not wait for the larger
cities. The decent men of the smallest
community can come together, awaken
interest in the matter and see that a
prohibitive ordinance is passed. And if
the men are slow in seeing their duty
it is to be devoutly hoped that the
women Will take the question in hand
and see to it that this disgusting habit
receives that necessary public atten-
ton which it has lacked in the past"

wood yesterday. The vessel was lying
at the wharf with several lines run out
to dolphins to keep her from humping
in the heavy swell The seas began to
roll in with increasing severity, and
Captain Johnson decided to put to sea,
as he was lying in an exposed position.
The second mate, V. A. Voigwardsen,
and two seamen, John Johnson and
John Lndholm, were sent out in a
small boat to cast off the lines. While
returning to the Whitesboro a billow
much larger than any that had pre-
coded came rolling in. The engines
were started at full speed, and the
steamer rode the sea safely, but the
small boat was capsized and cast high
up on the beach.
The men in the boat were seen for a
few minutes struggling in the water,
and then, one by one, they went down.
Lindholm's body was washed ashore
some time afterWard, but the bodies of
Volgwardson and Johnson have not
been recovered.
Volgwardson and Johnson both re-
sided in this city, and were unmarried.
Lindholm leaves a widow and child,
who reside in Berkeley.

was ordered home by her owner, and
