HER LADYsHIp'S SQUlNT.

One morning early in June I was
 summoned to the West End branch of
 the Putney and Chelsea bank to inquire
 into the facts surrounding check forg-
 cry which was agitating the bank off,
 cials at that time. Arrived at the
 branch in question, I was promptly shown into the managers room, and the latter, having waved me into a chair, plunged into the heart of the business without further ado
 This check, MT. Harvey" he ex- claimed, handing me the document as he spoke, was presented at the bank counter ten days ago by youngish- looking man, who received payment for the same in notes and then vanished The check was in due course returned to the supposed drawer, Sir George Meredith, and yesterday morning we were amazed to receive from that gen. tleman a letter inclosing the check and stating that it was a deliberate forgery. Sir George is an old and valued cus- toner, and, in justice to him as well as to ourselves. we desire to clear up lIlS DuslIltSS dS SOOIl dS pOSSlDlC.
 I thought for a moment, and then asked to see the clerk who had cashed the check. He was summoned immedi- ately, and I requested him to describe the person who had presented the forged document.
 'Well, sir" said the man, reflective ly, "so far as I remember he was very young, very slight and very nice look ing. He had small, ladylike hands, If I may use the expression, and was nicely dressed"
 And that is all you can remember of him?" I asked, quickly. "There was no distinguishing point which would mark him out from other people?'
 Not single one, sir, so far as can remember"
 "Thank you. That will do.'
 Directly the door closed on his re- treating figure I pocketed the check and rose.
 T have heard all that want to know at this end, MT Fosdick,'' I said, ad- dressing the manager, "and I am now off to Sir George Meredith's place, if you will be good enough to give me the address"
 "Sir George is stopping at present at Meredith court, near Hertford," he replied; and, having made a note of the l bade the official adieu, and five minutes later was whiring in a hanson toward Kings Cross. On ar rival at that station I had the good fortune to catch a train after a wait of fifteen minutes, and was deposited at Meredith court within two hours oi leaving the bank premises.
 Yes. both Sir George and Lady Mere dith were at home, the footman said, in l answer to my inquiry, and he would 1 take up my card. The pasteboard | proved an 'open sesame" for he re- turned in a very short space of time, l and with the words: Follow me, if | you please slr,'' led the way into an | apartment, half smoking room, half | boudoir, where the baronet and his wife l were seated
 The latter was reading a copy of the King when I entered, and in response to my bow gave me the merest inclina- ion of her head, but Sir George with | much genality, bade me Good morn 1

Emma Goldman AEain.

Emma Goldman's plan to deliver in Chi
cago the identical lecture which the assas-
sin CzolgosZ is supposed to have heard and
from which 1t is understood he drew his in
spiration to kill President Mckinley does
public. This notorious woman is fresh from
custody She was released because there
was no legal evidence upon which to con-
meet her with the Buffalo crime. Yet her
association with that piece Of villainy, d.
rect or indirect, is unquestioned by the ma
jority of people. Her declaration of pur-
pose to repeat the famous lecture is evil
IDENTIFY a display of bravado defiance to
the authorities She should not be permit
ted to carry it out. This is no time to take
chances with the reds There may be no
Czolgosz lurking in the lecture hall to be
lnfamed to murderous fanaticism. But
there would surely be scores of impressions
able people present, to whom the repetition
of the lecture, under the circumstances
would appear as a successful defiance of
the law. If Goldman succeeds in her de-
sign she will have further weakened the
force Of government with those very
classes which the police are now under the
nations instruction to watch and curb.
Official curiosity as to the real character of
the lecture should not warrant the taking
of such risk. Enough Is known of Gold
mans theories and modes of expression to
stamp her as a dangerous character and
the less she is permitted to appear In pub
lie and to promulgate her views and to
teach disrespect for the law the better II
will be for the country.

Race Every Day.

Columbia and Shamrock have now start
ed to sail three races and have finished one.
The experience has caused Sir Thomas Lip
ton to suggest that the regulations be
changed to permit the holding of the races
daily hereafter, in order to take the fullest
advantage Of the winds and to shorten the
time of the contest. This proposal ought
to be acceptable to both Sides The long
delay is hard on the nerves of both Eng
lishmen and Americans. 1t is moreover,
costing the challenger heavily. He is under
large expense daily, and every fiuke adds
to the bin he is compelled to pay. There is
every disposition on this side to favor Sir
Thomas to the fullest extent. His sports
lnanlike qualities are universally yecogniZ-
ed and admired and it would be gratifying
to the most ardent American partisans if
his reasonable wishes could be met. A
daily try for a race would harm nothing
and would perhaps afford better test of
the two yachts than has thus far been
possible. Yesterdays attempt was disap-
pointing In the extreme. There wes abso-
lutely nothing of value in the Indication
which it afforded. A drifting match of this
character Is worse than useless as sign
Of quality.

their memory. They are landmarks to the
older inhabitants and are highly respected
There Is room in the parks for more such
tree memorials, and it may be that in the
evolution of the grand park plan now un-
der preparation provision may be made
for annual additions to the list of natures
monuments.
The sentiment underlying the immediate
proposition to honor Mr.. Mckinley thus
next Arbor Day is especially appropriate.
He was very fond of fine trees and loved
the parks and forests. The planting of Nc
Kinley trees could be undertaken by the
smallest villages, and could be arranged to
give the humblest citizens a personal share
in the ceremonies. Already the enterprise
has been approved by several of the gov
ernors, who have promised to recommend
action by the legislature. 1t is unfortunate,
IN this connection. that there is no single
date set apart as Arbor Day, which is de-
termined by each state separately. wide
spread recognition of the meaning of such
an occasion by the public would soon lead
to more practical view of the need of
reforestration by concerted action.

Tree Memorial. for Mr.. Mckinley


Many propositions for memorials to the
late President are now under considera-
ton. Various cities are raising funds for
local monuments. Everywhere Is recog-
nized the appropriateness of some grand
construction here at the national capital
which will bear the name and perpetuate
the fame of Mckinley. These schemes all
breathe the purest sentiment Of affection
for the dead President. novel plan,
broached first in Pittsburg and brought i'm
mediately to the attention of President
Roosevelt, has attracted attention and
promises results. It is thateby prearrange-
ment in all the states on next Arbor Day
trees be planted in honor of Mr.. Mckinley.
A general recognition of the plan would
result in the starting of thousands of trees,
OF which hundreds would live to become
objects OF beauty and comfort
There is no more beautiful way of honor
ing men than by naming fine trees after
them This city contains a number of such
growths. some of them planted by the In
diyiduals themselves. others planted In

Steamboat InsDecfion.

AS a result of the explosion of a steam
boats boiler on the Delaware river few
weeks ago. a disclosure has been made by
coroner's jury which should be of value
in leading to a reform of the boiler inspec-
ton service. II was shown by the evil
dence that serious defects in the boiler were
wholly overlooked by the governments S
agents when they paid their formal visit to
the craft in the ordinary routine of their
work In the judgment of the experts sum-
moned little doubt could be entertained
that the explosion. which cost many lives.
was directly due TO this defect. So bad
was the condition of the boiler that one of
the engineers. who was killed by the disas-
ter. had expressed his fears for the safety
of the boat and had even predicted the IA
taIity.
Surely. this is not a reassuring state of
affairs. The government steamboat inspec-
tion service stands between the public and
disaster. Excursion and regular passenger
boats are notoriously overloaded at times
during the height of the season and condi-
tiOns are thus repeatedly favorable to the
loss of life. Yet it is well known that the
inspections are perfunctory, and, as is
shown by the case in point. untrustworthy
as we'll because incomplete. 1t is a matter
of positive knowledge that the regulations
as to crowding are constantly violated, and
that but little care is taken to respect the
law relating to life preservers and life
boats
The government inspection service may
be inadequate in point of numbers. This
was claimed In the Delaware river inquest.
But if so it behooves the shipping interests
on adj sides to petition Congress Immediate
ly for a liberal increase In the annual ap-
propriations for this work If, however

Deyery Rehabilitated.

New York's big policeman" Devery. IS
all right He has finally been 80. X d.
by Croker, who declares that Tammany,
whatever it's straits, will never turn on a
man who has got into trouble while for
warding the interests and obeying the COM
rnands of the organization. Therein Croker
is wise. He knows that to turn on Devery
now would weaken his hold upon. the
roughs and toughs who respect only force
and who have been taught that fidelity is
profitable. In addition to Croker's decision
to stand by Devery. Police Commissioner
Murphy has refused TO take up charges
against Devery fled by the Merchants AS
sociation, based upon the deputy commits
sioner's method of conducting the trials of
policemen Those charges related instances
OF Deyery's use Of abusive language. such
as calling policemen under accusation
"bums." ''loafers,' "drunks," etc They
reveal Devery's evident partiality. favoring
this policeman and putting penalties On
that one. seemingly with regard only for
the degree of fidelity the accused men have
IN the past shown to the machine with its
many lines of graft" reaching out into all
directions.
Deyery may thus be considered as one
of the issues of the Forthcoming campaign
between the reform forces and Tammany.
He stands for all that is brutal in the or
ganization. all that Is corrupt and defiant
OF the better sentiment of the community.
Recently he abused policeman who was
caught In some dereliction of duty. not Re-
cause he had violated the regulations, but
because he had been caught with the
goods on him. In being thus Delinquent
the man had forfeited Devery's respect and
support There Is no Tammany law against
piiIage. but there Is a stringent law against
