The circumstances surrounding the
homicide Of yesterday morning make 10 a
peculiarly distressing tragedy. Tho
sowing of wild oats always has in IL the
possibility OF SOME act or nishap that
shall prove lasting misfortune, and we
take It thar most young fellows would
not hesitate 20 declare preference to be
In the place OF Adams rather than young
John MoWilliams. Both have brought
sad disgrace ucon good names, but one
has paid penalty with his life and Is
beyond taking concern. For the homi-
eide, sympathy may we'll go out. He has
heavy load to carry. He has paid an
awful price for learning that the low
down side Of life ism worth cultivatipR.
That he has paid so high Is his misfor.
tune far more than IL is his fault There
Is ample opportunity In such on Incl
dent TO morallze. but what young Mc-
Williams Will need, when this sau scrape
Is over with, will be encouragement to be-
lieve that he has good lifetime yet and
plenty Of opportunity to make up for 10,
ana that redemption and reputation are
still his to claim II he goes for. them. He
will have n considerable debt To pay 10
society, TO his family, to himself and TO
Arthur Adams, but II his own conscience

TO satisfy he will como out all right and
perhaps meantime. what he ha. done
will make some otter boy halt In the
same path and face about the other way.

How a Brooklyn Man Made $1,000.

Don't discuss your private business affairs
in a public place." said an old Brookynite
20 the New Yorker who approached him in
a cafe near the City Hall Then the Brook
lyn man, pointing out real estate dealer,
said:
Talking about business deal in this very
cafe cost that man $1,000, and the money went
into my pocket, too. You see, he represented
n syndicate that wanted to build on some pro
perty in which was interestd as the owner
OF one.hcuse and:city. .lot. The agent didn't know
me from Canarsic clammer. he came
in here with frend-one of the eyndicate-
for lunche, on an afternoon in last July.
They took seats at this table. sat at the
next one.
AZ began to take notice, as grandmas say,
when heard the strangers at the next table
discuss quite loudly deal IN relation to
the property adjoining mine. The agent had
ordered fine layout for luncheon and was
evidently we'll pleased with his deal. He said
to his friend:
''WelI, pulled off the trick for that prop
erty at 2l9 Cheap street today. The owner
thought | was dong him a favor. started
in at $1,000 and finally closed with him for
$4,000. fla bit In a hurry. Why, kthe prop
cry Is worth s25, 600 if it's worth dollar TO us
Now / must look for the chap that owns
22l. He'll be glad 10 get SIS, 900 for his house.
It's lucky for US they re not on To the fact that
we want TO buy that entire block
- didn't need 10 do any eavesdropping,
you see. That little speech of the agent cost
him exactly $1,000 You can readily guess that
/ as the owner Of 22l Cheap street. was not
especially anxious 10 sell after that. i kept
Mr. Real Estate man on the Jump for nearly
five months, and when let up on him got
my price, exactly $4,000. A neat little profit
Of 5000 above what would have gladly ac-
copied. So you see the point Of my remark
to you, Don't discuss private business affair
in public place Now. well 60 10 my Office,

nor in derogation of the rights of the
public creditor"
Mr.. Vest or Missouri, the member OF the
finance committee who had charge OF
the resolution, spoke briefly upon it, but
disclaimed any desire at this time te
thresh over old straw Of financial dis
cussion. He said that 20 years had
passed since the Stanley Matthews reso.
tuition was first put on the statute books
''It will be recalled, said Mr. Vest. that
the present president of the United State,
was then member of the house ano
voted for these resolutions" The sena-

MEDICAL gNsPgcrIoN IN SCHOOLS

The monthly. Bulletin OF the State
Board Of Health appeals for the daily
medical inspection OF our school chi!drer,
a duty that Is performed In the cities OF
New York and Boston. whore the task Is
no more impracticable than IL is IN Prov
idcnce. The Bulletin calls attention to
tie fact that even when case of measles
or diphtheria. for instance, Is located In
school the hcslth department Is not
a lthorlzsd TO send ON inspector with a
view to discovering IL other children are
liable to Le affected or IL the original
case is still in the school room.
That daily inspection. without walt
ing for the occurrence OF case. is not SO
imposing problem as might be imag-
ined, tho Bdllstin aims to demonstrate
by stating that there are at present in
commission in tho city OF Providence
about 80 school buildings These schools
accommodate at this present time 22i 562
scholars. 1t js estimated that at least 80
physicians would be required to thor
oughly cover all OF the districts, alloting
three schools TO eaoh physician. The
time required should not exceed one hour
and might not exceed a half hour. The
preliminary work is done by the teachers
at the opening of the session.
The Bulletin points out that such in
spection would not only be effective in
guarding against the spread Of q conta-
giop. but in discovering the Children
who are not in physical condition to do
the school work, though nothing imme-
diately serious may be the matter with
them. 1t may occur that child, though
i'll, may have been forced to attend,
either through Ignorance on the part OF
she parent, or. as Is more common, tho
child is sent to school to avoid the fret-
ting complaints Of the invalid about the
house, and which is most annoying to
mother with IA large family and large
wash on hand at the same time.

With no little conilderce tten, asser-
tion may be made that the troubles at
Fall River, instead OF being due to the
excessive production OF cotton cloth. are
due solely to the nbnormally low prices
of the products Of general industry; In
other words. to tho Insufficient recon-
pense Of human toll. the insufficient
earnings of invested capital. The con-
dltions at Fall River repr osent the acute
stage of a movement that is in operation
everywhere. Reduction OF the output Of
the mills or of the cotton crop may help
TO stay the downward tendency for u
time. but the effects must be felt only
for a time. Decrease OF wages may have
good Influence for brief period, but, as
the forces which thrust values downward
continue to operate, another cut of
wages, and another, will be called for as
it is called for now. Meantime, be it OBJ
served. all Indebtedness remains at the
old hgures-the figures, however repre-
senting obligations that are continuously
enlarging as prices decline. Taxes arc
growing larger, for the federal ana local
governments are spending more money
than ever. Thus, the burdens upon the
people grow heavier as the ability to hear
them diminishes. Clearly these processes
cannot continue without producing con-
sequences so serious that they cannot
with serenity be contemplated. Some.
how or other, by one means or another
the frightful shrinksRe of values must be
arrested. No statesman, no economist.

A large part ~ the usefulness of cats
has for generations been supposed to lie
IN their natural capacity for destroying
mice, but ii appears that In Germany the
cat. like Othello. may shortly be without
its occupation. Heretofore IL has been
the practice to allow the army "a. so a
year for the maintenance of a single cat.
which price included training medical
care. food and badges. They were en-
ployed to protect the military stores from
mice. Now German professor has dis
covered a particular typhus bacillus
which is fatal to mice, and this will be
substituted for cats.
