Severe Sickness.
Nevada Post, 2s.

News was received here to-day of
the sad condition of Mrs. Maggie
Wilson, wife OF Frank Wilson, we'll
known farmer and stockman of Blue
Mound township.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson are both i'll of
pneumonia. The former, while la
boring under temporary mental alb
beration, got out of bed and securing
a razor inflicted a severe cash upon
one OF her wrists. 1t seems no one
was in the room at the moment. At
all events, she was discovered uncon.
scious from the loss of blood by MFR.
Wilson himself, sick in bed of pneu-
monia.
Assistance was promptly called and
at last accounts the unfortunate
lady was still alive but in a critical
condition.

DUPLICATING STREET NAMES.
CITIES GENERALLY throughout II

CITIES GENERALLY throughout the
~ United States have been troubled
to a greater or less extent by the du-
plication of some street names and the
similarity of others. It has been found
almost impossible to remedy existing
conditions, but steps are being taken
to prevent more confusion in the fu-
ture. This is accomplished by the pass
age of ordinances which prohibit ir Ii
viduals and corporations from Civ g
to new streets names which have al
ready been applied to old ones. Even
marked similarity in the names is for
hidden.
A glance through the street directory
of Salt Lake indicates that either the
people who named the streets were not
st all versatile or they didn't care how
much trouble they might infict on
strangers. In this city there are three
r streets, three Garfield avenues. three
Lincoln avenues, three Park avenues.
three Pine streets and three Poplar
streets. In no less than thirty-seven
instances there are two streets or two
avenues Of the same name, and fire.
quently one finds two streets and an
avenue alike. or vice versa, for in
stance, two Glen streets and one Glen
avenue, two Washington avenues and
one Washington street.
Even more numerous than the dupli-
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1902-02-23

cations are streets and avenues named
alike, as Center street and Center ave-
nue.. Charles street and Charles ave-
nue.. and so on. On top of this con-
fusion come such puzzlers as Cliff
street. Cliff avenue and Cliff place.
Hazel street and Hazel court, until it
is a wonder that even people who have
lived here all their lives are able to
find their way about If the main
streets. those running north, south. east
and west from the temple, had not
been so admirably laid out and named,
this city would be a maze.
New streets are being opened up con-
stantly and old names given to them.
1t is possible to prevent this by ordi-
nance, just as the statutes prevent a
new corporation from taking the name
of an old corporation or adopting a
title that is in any way similar to it.
Other progressive cities have found
such an ordinance expedient, and in
view of the facts set forth above. 10
Which many more might be added. Salt
Lake should join the procession.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1902-02-23

ing the question, Why? The answer is
not SO easy or so brief. Perhaps the
world is growing too crowded and, N
the inscrutabIe wisdom of the Ruler
of the universe. this method is adopted
FOR thinning the ranks. But why? The
country is prospering as it has rarely
prospered; there is bread enough and
to spare for all who make known their
wants. There is work for the worker
wherever he may seek it.
Is the solution to be found here? Has
the rush for wealth stilled the con-
science which makes each man Lis
brothers keeper? Somebody is TO
blame for every great accident. The
responsibility is not always fixed, even
IN the most apparent cases, but it is
there. and that's the tragedy of it. one
cannot help being appalled, at the con-
Sideration Of the many disasters that
might have been prevented, the scores
upon scores of lives needlessly blotted
out.
The day cannot be far distant when
the elaborate precautions which now
surround hazardous occupations must
be made even more elaborate; when
the science of protection to workmen
and citizens must not be left to falH-
Die human intelIects. Automatic pre-
Vehtlyes of disaster must be invented
50 mat people may be saved whether
they viii or no. OF course, so long as
the world lasts fatalities will occur
Out II surely is possible to throw out
more safeguards and surer safeguards
than are now in use.

A POLISHED BURGLAR.

HE GENTLE ART Of burgiing can
never fall very far into decay so
long as it has such able opponents as
Thomas Croughan. Mr. Croughan has
been operating in New York. where
he has acquired the sobIiquet of Gen
tleman Tom That he is Justly en-
titled to his laurels will be made APP
parent later on. Mr.. Croughan-we
hardly dare to call SO polished a knight
of the Jimmy Tom-has been looting
residences in his inimitably suave man
ner for some time. He has treasured
frightened women, he has soothed fret
full children. but at last an unromantic
policeman fell upon him and locked
him up.
Then woman was called upon to
identify him. He was placed in a line
containing twenty-nine other prisoners.
At this point let US take up the nara
tive of New York paper, as follows:
LAS she caught sight of Thomas
Croughan Mrs. Arrowsmith tainted.
After being revived she said:
There is one man in that line I
can identify. If he is a gentleman he
will spare me the annoyance OF hav-
ing to take that course. If he is an
honorable gentleman he will acknowl-
edge himself
True TO his principles, Gentleman
Tom CToughan stepped out of the line
and said:
" I am glad, indeed, madam, to spare
you anything of annoyance or incon-
venience. I trust 1 do not obtrude my
self upon your recollection when I re-
mind you that I am he who shook
hands with you the night your house
was visited by unlimited strangers
Mrs. Arrowsmith thanked Crougnan
for his tender consideration Of her
feelings, and. with graceful bow, the
gentleman burglar stepped back into
the line"
In all the career Of the gallant Rich
ard Turrin We fail to find recorded a
prettier incident. To spare the lady
distress Mr.. Croughan identified him
self, and as a result he will march Sc
renely in lock-step at Sing Sing for an
indefinite period. We had supposed the
Raffies of Mr.. r. W. Hornung's inim-
liable sketches was a pure creature of
the imagination, but Rallies himself
couldn't have been more Chesterfield
ian than Mr.. Croughan.
The Herald cOmmends the manners Of
Mr.. Croughan, but not his taking man
ners. to the careful consideration of
all other cracksmen, amateurs and
| professionals. If they will kindly fol-
low in his footsteps there may come
a time some day when hospitable
prison doors will yawn for each of
them.

AS TO NEWSPAPER CIRCULATION.

n EORGEP ROWELI, editor of the American News
VI paper Directory IS trying to get definition of
newspaper circulation that viii satisfy adver-
users and publishers alike Mr. RoweI has been salts
he'd to rate newspapers by the number OF complete
copies printed each year. but the Association Of Amer
can Advertisers insists giving credit only for papers
actually circulated deducting all unsold copies re-
turned by newsdealers and all copies. Mr. Rowe
has asked the newspapers of the country express
their views
The Herald believes that the Advertisers associa-
ton Is right IN excluding msold copies returned by
newsdeaers because publishers unquestonaby take adj
vantage of the Rowe definition and print more copies
than are required for their bona fde circulation in
order to get credit for larger number Of readers than
they actually possess
Mr. Roweli says it Is cheaper to lie than to print
unnecessary copies, but his is demonstrated in
numerous cases that might be cited. One of the San
francisco dailies caught printing thousands of
surplus COPIES only to send them to the garbage
matery Los Angeles daily sent thousands of extra
copies to newsdeaers, knowing the papers would not
be sold. Numbers of publishers who would not lie for
any consideration do pay for white paper and do print
unnecessary extra copies, solely get credit from Mr.

other isthmian canal. That is to say.
he is at heart opposed to all of them.
But that doesn't cut any figure. The
new route viii never be chosen be-
cause il has one absolutely fatal de-
feet. That lies in the propositions of
the men who control il. They are not
willing TO turn their property over to
this government.
Instead. they want to dig the canal
S a private ente prise. and they mod
estly ask the United States 70 guaran-
tee the payment Of their bonds In
exchange for the guarantee the govern
ment is to have free transit for ali of
its warships for a period of 100 years.
The plan is a pretty one from the
standpoint Of the promoters, but the
people will not have it. What they
want is a canal under the sole custody
and control of the United States and
they viii either have that or nothing
1t may be noted in conclusion that
the isthmian canal commission looked
over this route and came TO the con-
elusion that it would cost $2S9, 000. 100,
an estimate probably closer to the cor
rect sum than the figures of the pro-
motors.

VILLAGE mossBAcKIsM.

| a NIAGONISM TO NEW THINGS
is characteristic which prevails
aiarmingly in nearly every village in
the country. There is something in the
air of a village which tends to make
its inhabitants look with suspicion on
! the individual who would lift them
from the rut in which they have been
travelling for perhaps three-quarters of
century. A reason for this is that
young men of energy and ambition
rarely care to live in villages, and the
old fOgies have things entirely in their
own hands.
A striking illustration of old fogyism
gone to seed is furnished by a recent
special election held in the village Of
Greene, N. Y. The election was called
to vote on three propositions submit
ted by Mrs. r. n. Moore, a wealthy
resident of the town. Mrs. Moore Of
fered to give, without conditions, a site
for a new school building, to rebuild
a large manufacturing establishment
which would give employment to many
operatives. and to endow library.
t looks as if even the most hide
bound villager ought to vote unani-
mously. to accept offers such as these.
Alas for Greene. the messy element of
the community was in control At the
close OF a hot campaign, extending
over a period of eight months, Mrs.
Moore's offers were rejected by a ire
mendous majority. The argument that
turned the scale for the rut lovers was
that no community should accept do
nations, as frequently conditions were
attached to them, and. besides, they
might encourage a lot of persons to
! constantly expect public bonuses
So Greene VIII have no innovations.
1t will worry along without libraries
and other public blessings until it
finally dies of dry rot, as it should die.
A community that rejects a gift be-
cause it fears it is being pauperized
is 50 hopelessly in the rear of the
human procession that it can never
catch up. There is no faint of pauper-
ization in the giving to a town, by a
man or woman who has grown wealthy
in that town, some token of apprecia-
! ton.
The argument of the old fogies of
Greene can be reduced to the most
ridiculous of absurdities If it was not
proper for Mrs. Moore to make her do
nation, it is improper for any citizen of
Greene to make a gift to any other citi-
zen as an evidence of esteem and re
gard IL is to be hoped that no other
villages in the land will follow the New
/ York example.
