Tammany's Plight.

New York Tribune-The faithful follow
ers of Fourteenth Street still cling TO their
ancient ceremonial OF the installation OF

the wigwams and tepees are i'll stored
with wampum. Nevertheless, hope springs
eternal in the Tammany breast while the
frewater lasts.

Death of the Philosopher.
(BanGur MagaIine.)


certain philosopher was in the habit
of saying whenever he heard that an old
friend had passed away: ''Ah, well, death
comes to us all. 1t is no new thing. 1t
is what we must expect. Pass me the but
ter my dear. Yes. death comes to us all,
and my friends time had come
Now, Death overheard these philosophi-
cal remarks at different times-and one
day he showed himself to the philosopher
Il am Death said he, Simply.
GO away" said the man, in a panic,
Il am not ready for YOU
Yes but it is one Of your favorite tru-
isms that death comes to all, and I am
but proving your words
GO away! You are dreadful"
No more dreadful than l always am.
But why have you changed so? You have
never feared the death that has come to
your friends. I never heard you sigh
when ] carried off Your old companions
You have always said: 1t is the way of
all flesh. Shall I make an exception in
favor of your flesll?"
Yes, for am not ready
But L am. Your time has come. Do
not repine- Your friends will go on butter
ing your toast. They will take is as philo-
sophically as you have taken every other
death"
And the Philosopher and Death departed

letter was received from F. Y Co-ille,

to warn the public that, in addition to the

Suicides In American Cities.
reriran Nedicine)


If we may rely upon the statistics
quoted by the New Orleans Times-Dcmo-
crat there are some strange facts as to
the relative rate OF suicides in the dl1-
ferent American cities. Sar Francisco has
the largest ratio 291 per 10000 of popula-
ton. Next comes Los Angeles. 29.S. Chi !.
caso is the third in order. with ratio
of 24.O followed by the neighhoring city
of Milwaukee, whose ratio is 22.2, and then
New Orleans 21a. and Cincinnati follow
ing close with 2l.2 New Haven is next
with 209 and then comes the Borough OF
Manhattan with 200, though Greater New
with ratio of only 1876. This is less
than Rochester, Indianapolis, Philadcl-
phia, Pittsburg. Baltimore. Boston. De-
troit, Omaha and Louisville, besides all
of those specifically enumerated above.
AS to the foreign cities, Paris leads the
list. With a ratio of AZ. followed by Berlin,
Sc; Vienna. IS. and London %. There
were more suicides in Saxony than in
any other country, 81 per looooo- In
2l.2. in France 15.7. In the German en-
pire 1913 and Sweden, Norway. Belgium,
Great Britain. italy. the United States,
and Spain followed in the order given.
Can any of our social philosophers eX-
plain why the San Francisco and Los An
seles rates are higher than Chicago? The
foreign element in Chicago. Milwaukee,.
and Cincinnati cannot explain why their
rates are so much higher than New York
populations. Does New Haven. In fact.
have higher rate than all other New
England cities? Aid whv is the rate in
MINI ca nolis almost double what it is In
St Paul? VIII the es-Democrat tell
us where it got its figufes?

ODELL ON LABOR TROUBLES.
Duty of State, With Respect to Com
b1nations Of Capital.

NEW YORK, October Ex-Governor
Odell tonight opened the nepublican
State campaign in Brooklyn. by making
number of speeches. The principal one
was made at the Claremont Park, where
tile Governor said: THE combinations OF
capital which have marked the CONNER
cial progress of our country have been &C
companied by combinations of labor. So
long as both pursued their business within
the limits Of constitutional and statutory
law, they are entitled to the protection OF
the State and the strong arm OF the gov
eminent. Violations. whether they are
artificial enhancement of prices, whether
they be in the direction of curtaiment of
production, whether they be by inter-
ference with the righs Of individual
workingmen, or whatever form such law
lessness should take, it should be prompt
~ met and suppressed by the power
vested in the executive branches of the
government. The rights of the people are
paramount. Whenever conflicts of capital
or labor threaten not only the prosperity.
but also the comfort and welfare of the
people, it then becomes the duty Of those
who represent the Commonwealth, which
has given to the one a charter right for
existence and to both labor and capital
its guarantee Of protection, to step In and
endeayor to adjust such difference.

Women of Japan.
Baltimore American.)


The most interesting part OF life in
Japan is the emancipation Of her Wo1nen
The removal OF Olu-tlme restrictions
has given the interesting women OF TINS
Nlnados realm the opportunity 10 sho"
how bright and progressive they are
under some of the influences OF west
ern civilization. .
In former times the Japanese wife oc-
cupied the position of an upper servant,
rather than the partner OF her lord
joys and sorrows.
But now that the country is becoming
Civilized" this is passing away and the
women are taking their places by the
side of the men. Already there are Japa-
nese women doctors, teachers, mer;
be japanese wives, in the American
sense Of the term.
These women OF the island empire
have not the freedom and honor OF their
less restraint than the Spanish women,
and receive considerable encouragement
from the men In their endeavor to reno
the veil which holds them in darkness.
It is now frequent thing for the bet
ter educated and liberal Japanese to
travel about with their wives. the. null
ttplicati ton of railway lines tending TO &C
Among the less wealthy classes the ne
women have already taken many OF
their rights. The farmers wife helps in
the field and in return obtains an I'M
usual authority in the household
The merchants wife assists her hus-
band, frequently keeping the accounts,
While in the greatest industry OF the
empire-silk-wor raising and the man
ufacture Of silk-her power is absolute.
With the emancipation Of the women
has come the commencement OF a truer
home life-a life in which father, mother
and children all share One of the signs
of this development is the Introduction
of the family picnic, which rs rapidly
becoming an institution in the rural dis
tricts.
Many of the quaint customs and pretty
ways Of the Japanese that are now
rapidly disappearing before the march OF
western civilization are nowhere more
evident than among the childrens sports
and pestimes.

and is carefully trained when young
for the responsibilities which are soon
to be hers.

ARUNAWAY CAB.
A Race for Two Miles in the Heart

New York Herald)
{. -.,,,a-l,ahla runaway ended abruptly
1.st evening at the corner Of Fulton ana
Greenwich street. when a hanson CAP
dashed into an elevated railway plilaT'
and was smashed to splinters.
There were two features that made the
runaway remarka BILE; first, the horse ran
with the cab from Nineteenth street ana
Broadway to the point OF the srnash-up'
distance of two miles, without accldent'
second, although two men were INSIDE OF
the hanson. and the driver was on MS
high seat, no one was injured IN Iie si's1>-

John Reilly, the driver. answered cali
TO the Continental Hotel, at Twentieth
street and Broadway, and there picked UP
John McTernan and Daniel Malone. or
Waltham Mass. Both men are OF ratnef
stout build and fitted snugly in the rig
At Nineteenth street the horse 1erked his
head suddenly and caught the bit In his
teeth, and then started on a run Pull as
he might on the reins, Reilly could not
stop him. The occupants OF the Gao
shouted up to the driver to 90 slower.
Reilly explained the situation, and they,
too, became frightened. but at the pace
the animal was carrying them 1t would
have been sure DEATH to have jumped.
AT Union Square Reilly pulled desperate
ly on the right rein and the horse swerVed
and ran west through Fifteenth street.
AS the runaway neared Fifth avenue.
Reilly tried TO throw the horse. but his
efforts only resulted in turning the animal
into Fifth avenue, south
At Washington Square the horse didn't
swerve and made the curves in the drive
way perfectly. From the southern end
of the park the animal turned into west
Broadway. That street is practically de-
serted on Sunday, except for the cars and
an occasional wagon.
The horse kept to the right OF the road
way from Blocker street to Barclay. and
never swerved once from his course. The
end of the run came after the horse had
turned into Greenwich street from west
Broadway.
a Ninth avenue surface car was just
leaving the corner Of Fulton street. and
the horse made straight for it. Reilly
took the left rein in both hands and
pulled with all the strength his exhaust
ed body could muster. He succeeded in
avoiding the car. but the hanson struck
pillar of the elevated road and was
smashed to pieces The shafts were cut
clean off. and the body of the hanson fell
forward, struck against the pillar a sec
ond time, and gradually slid down the pill
lar to the 6 & und, mprisoning the occu-
pants. Reilly was thrown forward, just
missing the pillar and landing on his feet
just to one side of the horse which he
grabbed and stopped from running fur
Their.
With the assistance of ten men, the body
of the hanson was raised high enough to
permit the occupants to be extracted I'M

tsTHE CHURCH AND DRANA.v
Church Congress Considered This
Matter-Sreakcrs Favored More
Cordial Relations Between


ALBANY. n. Y, October 1.-THE
twenty-first meeting of the Church
Congress of the United States opened to-
day with public choral services in the
Cathedral Of All Saints. The regular bus
mess session of the congress began to-
night in Odd Fellows Hall. About 2o0
delegates We're in attendance including
the leading dignitaries of the Episcopal
Church. Right Rev Croswell Doane,
Bishop of Albany. delivered an address Of
welcome. Among other things he said:
The subjects We are to discuss here
now how widely men can differ about
hany things, agreeing all the while In
their belief. The catholicity of the
shurch, as we understand it, consists in
Is unity of faith and its variety of
opinions. Its comprehensiveness must
hold fast to all that is primitive and
true. but it must also lay hold upon wha,
.hc progress of thought and study finds
to be modern and true. 1t has room for,
and 1t invites all honest, earnest. serious
thorough research and investigation"
The topic which has been assigned for
discussion Is The Church and the
Drama" and elaborate discourses We're
presented by Rev. Henry Lubbock. of New
York. and Rev. Or. Tomkins of Phila-
deiphia. A discussion followed which was
led by Rev. A. B. Iinsolyng of Brook
Ign, and Rev. ". e. Bentley Of New
York. The concensus of opinion was tina,
the cultivation Of cordial relations be-
>ween the church and stage would be to
nc benefit OF the public at large The
peakers stated that many Of the present
ay dramas pointed out highly moral les
pns and We're OF great benefit to human
ty. It was suggested that If church
aembers resolutely set themselves
sgatnst lewd and vulgar plays and pat
pnized only such as taught high stand
irds Of morality and painted pictures that
you'd benefit morality, theatrical mana
gers would quickly withdraw Immoral
md Indecent plays.
