Now Dolan exDoses the entire plot
OF the Armours and reiterates his for
mer story in another signed statement
in the same paper, his story of the
bribery being corroborated in every
particular by his wife who was party
to the whole proceeding. Now Dolan
has the Armours' $1,000 and the Ar
mours are in far worse plight than
before because their actions and at
tempt to buy of their ex-killing super
intendent Is tantamount to a confess
sion of the truth of his charges.
Moreover, the New York Journal will
bring suit against the Armours for a
criminal conspiracy to injure the rep
utation of that paper and for suborna-
ton of perjury.
At last we are likely to get at the
bottom of these beef charges in a reg
ular court of justice, where there will
be no opportunity for official white
washing, and where may be brought 20

also to the community at large.

Another instance of the unreliable
ity of circumStantial evidence is the
case of James H. Maricle, who, after
serving fifteen years in the Kentucky
penitentiary under a life sentence for
murder, has been proved innocent of
the crime and released. He is sixty
FIVE years of age. What competent re-
dress is there for the wronged man in
such a case? All the damages in the
world will not give him back the best
years of his life that have thus been
lost to him.

THE LATEST HOTEL HORROR

The late hotel disaster grows in
horror as the complete story of it de-
velops. 1t is past comprehension how
such a holocaust could happen even in
one of the old style structures such as
this building was, how the fire could
gain such frightful Roadway in broad
daylight.
A man after lighting a cigar threw
the match away so that the flames
caught a lace curtain. This much was
seen, yet the fire could not be-or was
not-extinguished until the entire i'm
mense structure was in ruins
There would seem to be remarkable
carelessness and negligence here, or
else the structure was most remark
able tinderbox
This adds one more to the many OBJ
ject lessons that have gone before on
this subject. A commissioner of the
Building Department said:
1.-The building was a fire trap in precisely
the same sense that every hotel, hospital
theatre. and building of similar public
character erected under the laws prevail
ing before 1892 is a fire trap, a place of
certain peril in case of any serious fire
The hotel had complied with such fire ar
rangements as the law had imposed
This would seem to lay the blame
on the authorities who permit these
old firetraps built under an obsolete
law to exist to the imminent peril of
their occupants. And it would point
the way to radical reform. Such
buildings as these should be promptly
condemned or at least the public
should be notified of their character
and the danger of occupying them.

Bachelors Are Useful.

Somebody with grudge against the in

ing mathematics me as follows:
Dear Madam: When Will you COM
mence a series OF letters concerning the
Use and Abuse of the Bachelor espe-
cially the artistic abuse of the bachelor
sycophant, which may result in the elm
ination of the species?"
1t would be an irreparable loss to elm
mate the bachelor from society He is al
ways useful and often ornamental.
When the charming widow OF attractive
belle is visiting. her hostess depends upon
the bachelor to render the dinner or the
theater party success.
College boys do very we'll at dancing
parties and widowers at whist, but no
body can take the bachelors place at the
dinner table or in the theater box. He
is of greater value than the table decora-
tions or the opera glasses.
A single man is always an object of
interest TO an unmarried woman. If he
has reputation for being wholly invul-
nerable to woman's charms she is all the
more pleased with him. If he Is called a
dangerous flirt she is fascinated with the
thought Of subjecting herself to his hyp-
motto spell.
II he is merely a fashionable beau she
likes to disport him as she would a mod
ish wrap.
If he is a desirable catch she likes to
bait her hook and try her powers.
In fact, there is scarcely any phase OF
the bachelor which has not It's interest for

For the thin and scrawny neck, the thin
ness of which is frequently the result Of
high collars, the following exercise will
be found beneficial:
First of all, assume a perfectly erect
position; place the hands on the hips and
then throw the head backward and for
ward ten or fifteen times-not violently,
but slowly and gently, as far front and as
far back as it will go each way. Then
move the head in the same way from side
to side the same number of times. After
this twist the head around, describing a
perfect curve, first one way and then the
other ten or fifteen times. This will make
you dizzy; it may nauseate you until you
have become accustomed to it; but don t
you care. Just close your eyes while you
are doing 1t and picture to yourselves the
beautiful round throat that a few months
of this exercise will bring to you. You
will be repaid, am sure: Try it and see.

Really, the reason why women are not

should be is simply because they are such

make ourselves presentable and neglect
the very first principles of health, youth

There are couple of splendid, gymna-

is SO marked and the complexions so

Filled with dust for the little ones

He Sits 1T out with lavish hand
And he bushes the baby's cries.
The Sandman clasps in his wrinkled palm
The soft hands of my baby so fair,
And baby's frolic gives place to calm
AS he yields to the Sandman's care.
The Sandman beckons the flying dreams,
Bids the sweetest and fairest to stay.
And angels watch Ger that baby's rest
TIL the dawn of the glad, new day.
'Nid-nod," he whispers to baby dear.
Baby knows well what he means;
The white lids droop DER the eyes so blue
And they're off TO the land Of dreams.
