In Brooklyn boroueh, where the
car service is perhaps the worst i'll the
country in nearly every respect, there
have been SO many murders by
the trolly cars, OF children, women.
and some men, that the community
seems to regard it as matter of
course, aud the newspapers which
keep tally occa sionally make note that
yesterdays was the 244th victim"-
or whatever the total ma; amount to.
1t is odd enough that the public
should grow so callous to perils like
this, to which we are exposed at every
point in the streets and roads, while
we are turning the steam railroad
crossings out OF grade as fast as pos
sible. Yet the deaths occurring at
railroad crossings would be insight
fcant in number heside the single re-
cord OF Brooklyn.

In the temporary substitution of
large package mail boxes for the letter
boxes in lower Broadway and other
heavy mail districts the local posto flee
officials fear that risk is involved. The
larger boxes have openings big enough
to slip good-sized package through,
and any one so disposed can reach
mail matter in the boxes after they
have become half filed. Postmaster
Van Cott reco mmends that more foot
collectors be appointed for lower
Broadway and other similar streets,
because with the crowded condition OF
the roadways during business hours a
foot collector can make as good or
better time than collection wagon.

There was an exhibition of heartlcss
cruelty during the funeral services
over the remains of Mrs. Annie Kron-
man, who was murdered. which de-
serves the sevcrest rebuke. The
womans husband, who was held on
suspicion of having murdered her, was
taken under guard to her coffin and
there, while rent with grief beyond
control, he was badgered, bull-dozed
and tormented with questions by an
officious detective-sergeant, who hoped
in that way to entrap him into al
missions that would prove him guilty.
So far as his treatment on this occa-
sion was concerned, it made no diff
ference whether kronman was inno-
cent or guilty. He had certain rights
which were entitled to respect and
among them was the right. to immu-
nifty from torture while he stood in
the presence of the dead.
