REPUTATION SAVED THE BOY.

John Watt, Canadian boy, was ar rested in Detroit the other day. He was convicted of using money that be longed to another, having in his neces- sity yielded to temptation. In sus- pending sentence Judge Murphy said to the boy:
 '.l ne highest treasure in this world is a good name. and I am going to show you the value of it. I have written to various people in Toronto, and I find that your character has been above reproach up to this time. I think you see the error of wrong doing, and trust the lesson will be sufficient. In allowing you to go on suspended sentence. I know you will go back to Canada out of my jurisdic- tion. I am trusting to your honor. do not know whether an American boy in like circumstances would receive the same consideration if in Canada, but I trust so."
 Tears were kept back with difficulty by the young Canadian, and he promis- ed the judge that he would write to him every month and let him know what he was doing.
 Many days well lived may some time count for every day misspent."

WASHINGTON HUMANE SOCIETY.

The latest monthly report of the Washington Humane society Is rather interesting as showing what can be accomplished by such an organization i'll the brief period of thirtyone days in city of 100000 inhabitants. Among the results of it's labors we find the death of 124 cats. At first sight this may seem curious business for humane society-killing cats-but when one remembers the numbers of miSer- able, half-starved. diseased feline crea- lures which crawl about the alleys Of every city and town, it is plain that to put these cats out of their misery is not only merciful to them. but protec
 ton to healthy animals which are lia- ble to contract disease from them.
 Eighteen horses. unfit to work or to enjoy life, were also killed by agents of the society. SiNty-three animals unfit to work were relieved from labor. Two hundred and twenty-four cases of cruelty to animals brought to the mo- tice of the society were remedied with out prosecution. while the prosecutions amounted only to sixty-four in all. but three of which the prisoner was con- yicted. Among the cases of i'll treat ment of animals of which the society took cogniZance were six cases of cruel beating. two of overloading. twenty three of driving when galled. and thirty-ona of driving when lame
 The chief good accumulated by the society. however Is indirect rather than direct. For every man who is punished for cruel treatment of his horse or dog there are several who take warning hv his examnle. There is us'iallv small crowd about when the arrests occur and every member of that crowd is forciblv impressed with the fact that 1t is no longer safe to misuse dumb animals. Moreover. when the man is convicted and fined all his noighbors usually know about it and not seldom the matter Is hroueht to the attention of bis em- nlovnr The nnsho+ of tho whole mat tor is that gradually. but surely. the nnhlic is being educated in the riphsi direction. Human hein"s arc crea- trras of haS't ana precedent and a very little of either goes long way.

It is evident that MT Low, who was elected on decidedly heterogeneous platform. will have little chance of re- election, irrespective of the kind of government he gives the city. It is only on rare occasions that the people of New York will make sufficient ex- ertion to accomplish the defeat of the army of Tammany Hall, and it is predicted that Tammany will be heard from two years hence.

How is it that q fowl does not fall on It's perch when 1t goes to sleep? We are taught that muscles relax when the body falls asleep.

CENTRAL CONGRATULAT TED.
PUBLIC GRATIFIED BY PROPOSED IN
STALLATION OF ELECTRICITY
IN THE TUNNEL.

Many letters of congratulation were received
yesterday by officials of the New-York Central
Railroad as a result of the announcement that
electricity is to be substituted for steam as soon
as possible In the Park-ave. tunnel. The COM
pany has been flooded with tunnel correspon-
dence for more than month. but until yester-
day all these letters only complained and i'm
plored the Central to grant relief. or of
fered schemes and suggestions for tunnel i'm
provement
The plan proposed to clear the tunnel or the
steam smoke and cinders which have been the
cause of so much complaint. as told In The TrIb-
une yesterday exclusively, is TO run trains be-
tween the Grand Central Station and some point
not further south than Yonkers by means of
motors. Electricity is to be supplied these mo-
tors through third rail- which remains un-
charged by the fluid until car passes over it,
such system is in operation in the Bal
timore tunnel
PRESIDENT Newman said yesterday that the
engineering force of the road was now working
with particular attention on the details of the
proposed Improvement and that the question of
expense was not to be considered
The installation of electric third rail sys-
teh however as one of the Central engineers
said yesterday. could not be accomplished so as
TO bring immediate relief. The undertaking con-
templated such an outlay of capital for the
puldng OF power house. the equipment of the
system with motors and properly insulated con-
ductors. and the arrangement of switches in the
yard of the Grand Central Station. that the new
scheme could not be put into effect in much less
than year.
Few people. he said. realized the greatness of
the Centrars traffic or the cramped conditions of
the Grand Central Station for the proper hand
ing or trains during rush hours.
1t was also learned that. contrary to the opin-
Ion of many who complain of travelling through
the tunnel, the men at the head of the New
York Central desire a change much as any Of
Its passengers. They we'll know that under i'm
proved conditions the traffic of the road would
be increased to much more than enough TO meet
the expense Of the proposed electrical equipment.
A leading official of the road said Yesterday
that he expected the substitution of electricity
for steam would be made before the beginning
OF the hot season of 1902
