WAR AND THE RAILROADS.
No Fuss Made Over Number Killed and Wounded by the Latter.

EOIl EtChiSs
 If 7,123 men were killed and 4i,69o were
 wounded in battle, even the most staid
 newspaper would be pardoned for using
 sensational head lines A thrill of horror
 would vibrate civilized people, prayers
 would be untutored in all churches for the
 dead, and sympathetic feeling for rela-
 tives and wounded would be universal.
 Such a calamity, however, happens every year, almost without comment But
 for the official report of the Interstate
 Commerce Commission, annually rendered
 to Congress, the world would be but little
 the wiser for 1t, and as 1t is goes on al-
 most unmoved and unconcerned about it.
 The figures given above form the brief
 official announcement of the number kill ed and injured by railways of the United
 States for the year ending June 30, 1S99
 The statistic is officially softened by
 ratio statement that only one person was
 killed or injured for cerain number of million miles accomplished by trains. The
 public is still further treasured to the eff feet that only 239 passengers were killed and only 3,342 were injured, which gives over sixty million miles travelled for one injured We are told that 4574 persons
 killed were really trespassers, as were also 6,355 of the injured. They got in front of the trains when they ought to have had business elsewhere. Some of them were only tramps, stealing rides, thus ridding offerings, and sadding the burial ex-
 penses on the railway corporations
 careful examination of the official re- port fails to reveal any other philanthro- pic or reassuring features. On the con- trary, a glance at table in the report shows that during the period from Sep tember 90, 1888, to same date, 1899. the aw- full slaughter of railways amounted to | 7S, 4i2 killed and 415,707 injured-a popula- ton greater than the city of New Orleans. But which is strictly germain to this ar ticle is the fact that during those years the number of railway employees killed in the United States was 25,9sO, and the num- Der injured was 322, 146.

NEM YORK SOCIETY

I am sorry Perry Tiffany got mixed up in a bad check matter, as the young fe1- low Is not strong enough to stand much of that sort of thing. Some eighteen months ago he gave check at restau- rant he was in the habit of frequenting
 for twenty-five dollars, and a few days ago he was arrested on charge of fraud, the check having been returned marked ''bad" It seems that the bank returned the check as his balance at the time was not sufficient to meet it. One of the pro- prfetors of the restaurant swore out warrant and it was not served on account of Perrys absence abroad. Two detec- lives arrested him and he was taken to court. Tiffany stated that he had been frequently in the restaurant and no de- mand for payment has ever been made
 In court one of the proprietors testified that he knew o: the matter, and that his partner, who had obtained the warrant
 was no longer connected with him.
 Evidently there is mistake in regard to the check, and even if it had been refused by the bank, 1t is no proof that Mr. Tiff fany did not believe it would be good when presented. I regret the young fel- low should have become involved in scrape of this sort, as it affords the mali cious an opportunity to assail him. Busi- ness troubles overcame him and he went through bankruptcy, which In itself leaves an unpleasant flavor behind 1t. Tiffany Is a cousin of the Belmont's, and the hus- band of the daughter of the late sugar king, Theo. Havemeyer. Any suggestion that he would swlnde a restaurant with bad check for twenty-five dollars is, therefore ridiculous.
 It is very dull, socially I seldom meet a grand lady of fashion nowadays. Those who have not gone to country seats are living behind drawn blinds. Even the clubs are deserted, except by the commer- cial element When one is accustomed to refined society, stock brokers are rather jarring to the nerves. To be sure they are not the only ones who talk money,
 but they talk 1t little more vulgarly than others.
