WORSTED In COMBAT
WITH DOUGHTY RIVAL
Special to The Evening journal.

Nanticoke. Md. May 3O.-Because
his sweetheart went out driving with
q city drummer Robert McCabe, fish
erman and bully. last evening proceed
ed to wipe his rival of the map and.
MS result, he is viewing the land
scape Ger to-day with two badly dis
colOred eyes. Several front teeth are
absent and his nose is slightly disar-
ranged, to say nothing Of several bad
ly skinned knuCklcs
McCabe had been Miss Martha
Joseph's STEADY company" for several
months, and the oystermen surmised
that IL was only a question OF time
when rice and cid shoes would be
hurled after the couple But the city
drummer stepped In, and The coQuettish
Martha straightway gave McCabe the
iceberg stare. Consequently the van
quished lovers heart swelled with
anger. and he swOre revenge
Last night the rivals met in front of
a cigar store and without any prelimi-
naries, McCabe led with q stiff LETT
handler for the drummers face The
drummer side-stepped, however and
the blow landed with crushing force
on the jaw of a wooden Indian in front
of the store, causing the stately war.
rior to bite the dust or, rather, mud.
A few moments later, McCabe crawled
out Of a gutter with a very bad head
ache.
Staggering to his feet, he again rush
ed at THE salesman, who was calmly
reading a patent medicine ad in the
window and rained n series of upper
cuts and jab-hooks in the vicinity of
where he Thought his rival stood. Again
he took bath in the gutter, and when
he came ont OF the trance, a group OF
oystermen stood around him discussing
the advisability of wiring the coroner.
McCabe has lost his reputation as a
bully To add to his misery, the
owner OF the wooden Indian threatens
to arrest him on a charge Of assault
and battery.

thing which has occupied the atten-
ton of legislators for some time
The fires which have taken place
in New York in recent years caused
directly by large accommodations of in
fammable material have been too
numerous to mention or to think of
with comfort. New York is not the
only place which is careless in this
regard In most large cities there is
less thought of the possible danger
TO the neighborhood than OF the con
yenience OF the owners and employees,
in storing such material, and the re-
suit has too often been a disastrous
and sometimes tragic fire 1t is time
that municipalities should take de-
cisive action in this matter a civil
lied city cannot afford to risk hav-
ing a holocaust of human beings for
the sake of little money and con
venience in handling goods.
The fire problem in modern cities
is rather a serious one, owing to the
construction of sky-scrapers and
large Office buildings; and thus far 1t
has not been met in any very ade-
quate way. The building laws in most
cities give some protection to the ten
ant, but not very much The insur-
ance companies have done something
toward making criminal careIessness
in this line impossible, for they have
no wish to see buildings burn and
have to pay heavy insurance, if leg
1 islation can prevent the fire. Per
/ haps when life insurance becomes uni
versaI, the companies VIII take so
much interest in human life that that
also, viii not be subjected 10 the
same risks as at present.

Canal LeGfsIatTOu.

The first real business to which
Congress is settling down is that per-
tanning to the Nicaragua Canal Sena-
tor Morgan has introduced a bill au-
thorizing the President to acquire
the necessary territory from Nicara-
s7ra and Costa Rjca, and other meas
ures are introduced making appro-
priations for the beginning of con
struction. Senator Perkins bill pro-
vides for an annual expenditure of
So, 100000 for ten years, making
total of s120,00o,O00.
There Is nothing business-like in
this sort of procedure When a sue
cessfuI man faces an investment prob
lem, he wants to know the ultimate
cost: when two alternatives are pre-
scented to him, he wants to know their
relative advantages and cost
Ne one who knows anything about
thc subject expects the Nicaragua
Canal to cost less than S2OO,OOO,OOO
Why not frankly face the PROPOSE
tion, then? The Nicaragua route IS
doubtless better in some respects
than the Panama route, but if Con
gress viii undertake an enquiry Of
the Commission which has Just made
its report, it will learn that. in the
opinion of the Commissioners, the
Panama route would be the less cost
", both in dollars and diplomacy, if
the French company viii sell out for
sIo,O0oO00. Congress can learn, what
the Commission could not, whether
the Panama Company would accept
this price.
At present, Congress is preparing
10 proceed on preconceived assump-
tions, and upon facts, while, as re
CARDS cost, the Perkins bill is a de
ccption.
