Sad Affair in Milford

Milford, Jan. S.--Miss Eva Clark
daughter of Mason Clark, aged about
twenty-five, who has been a ninvalid
several year and who had become de-
spondent, committed suicide last even
ing by jumping into a we'll at the rear
of her home in West Town street. Death
was caused by drowning, as there is
considerable depth of water in the we'll.
Her absence was not discovered for
some time, and then, as she had made
previous attempt at suicide by the
same method, search was at once made
and her body was found. Life, however.
was extinct.
The body was taken from the water,
and carried into the house, and Coro-
ner Heady of Milford was at once noti-
fed.

Steve Br0die,

Fourteen and half years ago New
York boOtblack jumped, or claimed to have
jumped, from the Brooklyn bridge into the
East river and survived the experience. He
died Thursday in Texas worth nearly a
quarter Of a million dollars. Between these
two facts extends a record which reflects
the tendencies of the American people to
worship at the shrine Of fame in whatever
guise 1t appears. Steve Brodie might have
become a rich man even II he had not at
tanned notoriety by his jump. He was
shrewd. enterprising and more than ordi-
nartly clever in advertising himself. He
prospered as a newsboy, as bootblack, as
heel-and-toe and go-as-you-please walker,
and as a flibustering agent. He had in
him the stuff that makes for success in
any direction. the capacity to see an op-
portunity and to make the most of it.
When Bob Odlum of this city lost his
life trying to demonstrate that q man
could safely leap from the Brooklyn bridge,
Brodie realized that there was chance for
somebody else to succeed where Odlum had
SO Iamentably failed. He knew that who
ever did this. after one fatal attempt had
put premium upon accomplishment, would
become renowned, and might utilize his
notoriety. 1t is not to the point that there
were many skeptics and that to this day
it Is insistently asserted that Brodie did
not jump from the bridge at all, but merely
put out the story and corroborated 1t
through friends who were parties to his
Eterprise. The world at large, and par
cu.arly the lower classes In New York,
nieved 1t. and when Brodfe forthwith
ened a saloon In the Bowery, he was

The charges filed yesterday against Dele
gate Wilcox of Hawaii are interesting and
enlightening. Whether or not they afford
sufficient ground for his exclusion from
Congress. they surely Indicate the folly of
the native party in Hawaii in sending such
representative to Washington. The
charges fall under four heads, indicting
Wilcox for reasonable utterances against
the United States, questionable marital re-
iations. irregularity of election and inciden-
tally illiterate assault upon the English
language. The treason charges are I'm
portant. of course, although examina ton
OF the dates at which the letters filed In
evidence were written shows that Wilcox
was engaged in his overtures to Agulnaldo

Two reasons are advanced why the Presi-
dent should not call Congress together IN
extra session: a. The members do not want
TO spend the spring in Washington, and CD
the business world might take alarm.
Members of the next Congress who have
made other plans for the spring might re-
greet the necessity of having to change them.
but not more than the President would re-
greet the necessity of requiring 1t. Like the
President, they are in commission the whole
year round. and must hold themselves ready
TO respond to duty at any time. Washing
ton Is a pleasant place OF residence In the
spring, as, indeed, 1t Is also in summer,
autumn and winter. The old stagers like
the city, and new members putting on the
harness for the first time could make its
acquaintance at no more favorable time
than In the early bud and leaf season. There
are no hardships to be borne by the coun-
try's lawmakers while they tarry here.
They all show their good keep when they
return home. Reason number one, there
fore, is no reason at all if the public bust
ness Is urgent and important.
Reason number two is scarcely worth a
thought. The business world is highly IN
telligent. and does not shy at shadows.
There is nothing in the new Congress to
give it a scare. II helped to elect the body
only some three months ago upon well-de-
fined issues and nothing has occurred since
10 make 1t regret Its action. There will be
no tinkering with the tariff. II any finan-
cial legislation is accomplished 1t will be
in the direction Of still further strengthen
ing the gold standard. So why should the
business world take alarm at an extra ses-
sion OF Congress 1t has helped call into
being. and whose instructions on business
issues received at the polls are go we'll I'M
derstood? The business world at no time
In the past quarter Of a century has prob
ably felt so free from all anxiety on the
subject of Congress as it now feels.
In determining the question Of an extra
session. therefore. the President need con-
slider only the nature Of public business
which in his judgment ought to be promptly
disposed of. The personal convenience Of
members OF Congress is Of secondary con-
sideration. Business values are certain not
to be affected. The country Is prosperous,
and there Is no division Of political au-
thority. The republicans are charged with
full responsibility. and they have always
taken credit to themselves for meeting is
sues as they arise. Cuba promises to be
ripe. and the Nicaragua canal bill also, and
why not meet them, and any other issues
that may be presented. without delay?

The Senate appropriations committee has
returned the District bill to the Senate With
out increasing the provision for the pur-
chase Of books for the Public Library. TOT
which there is pressing need. IL Is 10 De
hoped the Senate will of Its own motion
add to the allowance sufficiently to bring 1t
I'D to the $4,000 estimated by the Com
nnissioners. The reason for this enlarged
appropriation Is simple. The new library
building will be completed a year from
March l. or four months before the close
of the fiscal year for which the appropria-
tions now being considered are to be made
liz Is highly desirable that books sufficient
to make a respectable showing on the
shelves OF the new building should be pur-
chased earlier T., the fiscal year, in order
that they may be thoroughly cataiogued
and put in place Immediately upon the
completion of the structure Only by this
means will the people be given an adequate
conception of the enlargement of the IL
brary facilities when the doors are thrown
open for the first time. Otherwise they will
see a handsome building, donated by pr'-
Vate gift with vast empty spaces In the
stacks where books should be. The District
will display merely the lifeless shell of IL
brary, in which marble and granite and
wood and iron are the unsatisfactory sub
stitutes for the literary treasures OF the
printed page. 1t viii be many months be-
for the new building will begin, under such
circumstances. to justify Its existence
With the appropriation Of $4,000 for new
books provided in this bin and made avail
able July 1 next. the library authorities
will have opportunity to make careful Sc
lection of the volumes to be purchased
and the library force can spend the months
intervening before the opening Of the new
structure in classifying. catalogulng and
shelving the volumes. If the appropriation
Is not made until next year, even IL then
made Immediately available. the transfer to
the new home will be accomplished under
unsatisfactory and notifying conditions.
The grant of this sum by Congress now
will stimulate gifts to the library by pri-
vate donors. both In books and In CASH
Thu. far the collection has been made up
entirely from such sources. There are
nearly 10000 volumes now on the shelves
and at least $1,000 more are neces-
sary to fill the stack and shelves of the
lower floor OF the new building, which
a. the very least must be supplied
with books at the time OF the OPEN
ing to the public. The appropriation
OF $4,000 will secure less than half OF
this number so that even with it In hand
there will be need of liberal private dona-
items such as have thus far been the sole
reliance of the institution for books. II the
municipality evinces lively interest in I'M
mediate work for the book fund and shows
in the most practical and effective way Its
belief that now is the time TO subscribe,
the appeal to individual citizens will be
wonderfully strengthened and an immediate
impetus will be given to the whole library
movement.
