"Oh, no; it's not an innovation" asserted
Jud r. Rush; "as a matter of fact, sat in
a Populst convention with Mr. McGlynn

Granted" retorted McGlynn, but we
were the slate-makers then. Let us be

day he could not move a muscle in his
body; last night, however, he could
bend his fingers and talk. His cond-
tion is due to dive in shallow water
at Waikiki, his head coming in con-
tact with a rock at the bottom. The
accident was identical with that sx-

ago.
There were last night 100 patients
in the Military hospital. One is quite

rheumatism and dysentery are the

4 New Workers. Sly Plea Made
for 'SOme Others"

a sarcastic pedestrian has written
TO the New York World to suggest that
the streets and avenues OF the metrop-
oils should be asphalted clear across
from building to building and reserved
for cyclists only, pedestrians and horse
traffic to be provided for by elevated
paths and roadways. "One objection
to this arrangement" he adds, would
be that pedestrians might at times cast
peanut shells and banana peels down
on the main road, and thus interfere
with the comfort and perhaps safety
of the cyclists. This nuisance could
be largely abated, however, by punish
ing adult offenders with instant death
and juveniles with penal servitude for
life. Walking is as old as Adam him
self, is decidedly common, and should
be discouraged. Those who persist in
such mode Of locomotion should have
it impressed upon them that the house
tops is the place for them"
