known as an actor of extraordinary
merit He scored marked successes in
Yiddish trapslations of King Lear"
and as Iago.
Before coming to America Mr.. Adler
was for number of years in England,
where he added to his reputation as an
actor of wonderful strength and pow
er. When he first came to this country
he appeared in Yiddish thcater in
the Bowery. New York. but reports of
his ability soon attracted the attention
of leading theatrical firm, and he
was sent on tour of the country,
meeting with approval everywhere he
appeared.
Returning TO New York. he was en-
gagged to play in the American theater,
where his success was so striking that
his engagement was extended as long
as the theater was available when he
was transferred to the Academy of
Music, where his engagement has
proved so popular that he will be con
tinued indefinitely.
In his conception Of the character Of
Shylock Mr.. Adler IS mlsterful, and
his impressive delineation of the IA
nous Shakespearean figure places him,
In the opinion of the critics as well ss
OF the public, on high pinnacle, IT
is agreed that his portrayal of the
character compares favorably with the
Shylocks of famous dctors who have
gone before.

A Setback For Scientific Forestry

People interested in scientific forestry
will regret to learn of the suspension
of the Cornell College of Forestry.
This Is serious setback for a move
ment In practical education from which
very much In the way of good results
was expected. Instead of the blow be-
ing administered by Ignorant outsiders
1t seems to have been given by the sci
entific foresters themselves.
According to all accounts. the sus-
pension Of the institution was due to
the inability Of the heads of the college
to use good judgment in constituting the
purpose of the grants of $165, 1000 worth
go, 900 acres) of forest and $4,000 In
money. Since this was done on ac-
count of complaints Of denudation Of
forests by lumbermen, the plain pur-
pose was to aid and demonstrate the
preservation Of forests Preservation
does not mean denudation. But the
college took the ground that the pur-
pose was to teach 'the pupils how to
utilize forest products and proceeded
to give the instruction which they
could have obtained in any lumber
camp by denuding 1900 acres of land
in three years and replanting, accord
ing to the legislative report, only 275.
The instruction that the state intended
to secure was how to preserve the for
est by removing only the fully matured
timber, leaving the forest as whole
intact. This the college appears to
have wholly failed to do, and 1t is fairly
chargeable with the failure to continue
the appropriation. In view of the eff
forts being made throughout the coun-
try in the direction of forest preserva-
ton and the urgent necessity for such
efforts the failure of this experiment In
New York is to be regretted.

Strikers Without Sympathy.

Rarely, if ever, has there been {
strike in which public sympathy wai
so wanting as that of the walters IL
the Chicago hotels and restaurants
Apparently nobody had good wort
for them, and even the other organiza
tions in the city stood aloof. Yet ther
was general impression that the wait
ers did have certain grievances of con
siderable magnitude which ought +
have been promptly remedied. The'
were two reAsons for the lack Of publ
sympathy First, the strike caused a
enormous amount Of Inconvenience t
the public. People with empty ston
achs are not apt to be sympathetic
particularly with those who cause tina
condition.
Again, there is a widespread dislike
not often expressed. but none the les
real, for those who take tips instea'
Of or in addition to regular wages
and this operated in the public est
mate against the striking walters. A
matter of fact, the dislike s1oul'
be directed at the employers who per
NIT, encourage and profit by this abom
Unable system, but the public does no
look SO far and holds the taker OF IN

Insurance Against Strike Losses.

=
There is now talk Of the organizattoo
Of company to insure employers
against losses occasioned by strikes.
An insurance company Of this sort
would naturally have an interest In
preventing strikes, the same as the fire
insurance companies have In prevent
ing fires. Its purpose would be, in
fact, to reduce to the minimum the
losses it would have to pay. For that
reason the company would do Its ut
most to bring employers and employees
together In a conciliatory way when
ever there was hint or threat Of
strike.
The company might be in position
to present the advantages Of arbitra-
ton and to convince employers and
employees that 1t is better to settle all
differences by mediation than to fght
1t out to the bitter end. Indeed. arbi-
tration might be enforced by putting
into each insurance policy clause re-
lieving the company Of liability when
there is a refusal to submit to a just
demand for arbitration. That might
check disposition on the part Of un-
scrupulous employers to let strikes
come and collect the insurance in lieu
Of the ordinary profits Of their busi-
ness.
Again, inasmuch as the purpose Of
strike sometimes is to cause the en-
ployer financial loss, there would be
less disposition on the part of employ
ees to tie up factory or workshop
when they knew their employer was
insured against loss.
Whether or not such plan Of strike
insurance will ever be put In operation,
the proposition appears to have some
merit and may prove one of the means
to very desirable end. that Of elimi-
mating from the industrial world the
often recurring and always perplexing
disputes between capital and labor,
which are an element Of greatest loss
to both.

The Prevalence of Corruption.

IT is gratifying TO note that retribu-
ton has overtaken or is likely to over
take many of the corruptionists and
criminals In public service, particularly
in the municipal governments of some
Of the larger cities of the country,
though it is feared that the lesson has
not yet been so stern and complete as
to wholly deter other evilly disposed
and gain seeking men from attempting
TO intercept money belonging to munic-
ipalities and filch financial spoils from
general revenues. The temptation will
exist as long as the people are confid
ing and uncoRcerned, and the criminal
practices are not likely to cease until
the temptation is removed.
In the past great fortunes have been
founded on fragrant infraction of the
law. Some highly respected families
in the United States have derived their
standing from wealth procured in in
iquity by unexpected forbears. Some
large and potent corporations owe their
sins of unscrupulous promoters and
faithless public servants. What share
Of the vast fortunes, immense capital
stocks, large profits and squandered
money rightfulfy belongs to the public
could not even be estimated, but it is
certain that If public officials had in
variably regarded public interests the
bonded Indebtedness of many city
would be less than 1t Is and the tax
rate would be lower.
The bribe giver, seeking valuable
franchise, is probably spurred by inor-
dinate love Of riches and by the easy
prospect of amassing wealth at little
effort. The bribe taker is usually poor,
and the opportunity to get few thou
sand dollars Is often temptation that
he cannot resist, as small fortune in
sures him independence. So the bribe
giving and the bribe taking go on until
thoughtful men are beginning almost
to believe that "every man has his
price"
1t is perhaps too much to hope that
all public servants will be brought to
the point of absolute honesty and
honor this side the millennium. but re-
cent revelations emphasize the neces-
sity of a higher public standard Of
civic righteousness and more rigid and
drastic enforcement of the punitive
laws against corruption and dishonesty
in public office.

of great talk. This never reached the
point Of adoption by any city because
preliminary experiments prolonged for
days and weeks showed its utter fulfil
fly. Fuller's experimental work at
Cincinnati recorded the failure Of ey-
cry electrical proposition. some OF the
more pretentious processes actually
showing a much larger amount Of bac-
terra In the water after treatment than
before.
1t does not follow, of course. that the
ozone treatment will repeat the results
of the electrical method. though expe-
rience teaches that more demonstra-
tions than number Of laboratory tests
are required before accepting this as
certain and practical method of purifi-
cation. 1t is to be hoped. however. that
the experiments in this direction will
be continued until there shall be found
some sure plan of removing disease
breeding germs for city water supplies.
which now constitute one Of the most
serious menaces to public health.

This exaggerated Importance which

This exaggerated Importance which
we attach to the price schedules estab-
lished by custom explains the amount
of feeling shown by the people of Kan
sas City over the apparently trivial cir
cumstance that hereafter chicken sand
wiches are to cost Is cents instead of
10 cents. The operators of lunch wag-
ons explain that at the ruling prices of
chicken it is absolutely impossible to
sell chicken sandwiches at the old rate.
A chicken sandwich which the buyer
can open up and look at must be made
of unimpeachable chicken, let salads
and hashes and soups tell what tales
they will
This adding of nickels and dimes to
>prices fixed by immemorial tradition is
heard Of here and there every few
weeks, this Kansas City case being
merely a late example. 1t illustrates
a tendency not altogether pleasing to
the public.

Publication by Ozone Process.

The recent experiments In the puri-
hcation of water by the ozone process
in Berlin may prove of much value for
the practical purifcation of city water
supplies, but further tests as to practi-
cal operations and commercial cost are
necessary before that can be relied on.
The trouble hitherto has been with
these new ideas that laboratory expert
ments afforded little guide as to what
results Will be afforded under the regu-
lar conditions for working on a city
water supply. 1t is only few years
ago that the killing Of disease germs In
water by electrolysis was the subject

Racing Machines and Yachts.

N6cIuk hdcu1neS ana nhcnIs.
While column after column was be-
ing printed about the inconcllrsive
drifting matches In which the freak
yachts Reliance, Constitution and Co
lumbia met in the sheltered waters of
Long Island sound, there was but little
popular interest In the contest recently
waged between real yachts over an
ocean course in which stanchness, sea-
worthiness and seamanship as well as
speed could be displayed.
In the race referred to six large
schooners Of the Atlantic Yacht club
Of New York took part. They sailed
over an ocean course from their club
house to and around Northeast End
lightship, off Cape May, and return. a
distance of 253 miles. One of these
yachts, the Endymion, holds the ocean
record Of 13 days 90 hours between
Southampton and Sandy Hook An
other, the IroquOis, was caught at sea
In the terrible winter storm of 1883
and rode 1t out in safety. All the par
ticipants were cruising schooners, big
30 happened that the race was sailed In
light winds, and none of the boats was
called upon to show weatherly quail
ties, but they had to be prepared for
whatever weather might be in store
and could have raced as long as they
kept afoat.
The old America, which won the
trophy now being contested for by
the freak yachts, was such craft and
Is today more seaworthy boat than
any that has sailed for the America s
cup I'm the past dozen years.
The recent cup challengers and cup
defenders are racing machines pure
and simple, which have reduced the
great international contest to merely a
trial of skill between designers work
ing on practically the same lines.
Spared to the very utmost that can be
carried In hight summer breeze, these
80 called yachts can only be raced In
the most favorable atmospheric condi-
tions. They are In terror both Of calms
and racing weather When encounter
ing anything more than u zephyr they
sulk at their moorings lest If exposed
to breeze their topmasts snap, as did
that of the Reliance the other day In a
light wind. 1t Is nonsense to talk
about an advance In naval architecture
being marked by a type Of boat that
has to stay In harbor during summer
breeze in which yachtsman would
rejoice and real yacht be at her best.
OF course we all heartily welcome to
orr shores the pretty racing machine
which the gallant Sir Thomas has
caused to be towed over to us, while
hoping that the pretty machine Of the
New York Yacht club will be the win
ner In the coming contest; but the wei,
come would have been warmer had
the boat been stanch and seaworthy
enough to have crossed the ocean under
its own sails, while our pride and
interest In the defender would be vast
" increased were it able to push its
nose out into the sea in breeze that
would delight the true yachtsman. II
Is to be hoped that for the next contest
for the Americas cup a. this some
regulations may be adopted which will
tend to the encouragement Of yacht
building and to the discouragement OF
these costly, fragile and unseaworthy
racing machines.

As to the Cost of Living.

After all, it Is not the advance of one
half cent on the price of meat or of
one-tenth of cent on a pound of sugar
which brings home to the citizen an in
crease in the cost of living. 1t is the
sudden jumps Of the prices fixed by
convention and unaffected by ordinary
fluctuations of the market.
For instance, the stranger goes to
New York city, and the two facts most
strongly impressed upon his mind are
that it is an expensive place and that
a shave costs Is cents and a shoe shine
10 cents. Coming from u land Of ten
cent shaves and five cent shines, he re-
members this after he has forgotten
Just what he had to pay for his room.

Mississippi River improvements.

There is some element of pertinency
and justice in the suggestion that
comes from the Mississippi valley that
the general government should protect
the bottom lands of that locality from
the annual inundations as well as go
into the policy of reclaiming the arid
lands of the farther west. Manifestly
the object of the new irrigation law is
to extend the area of land available for
agriculture and settlement The pro-
lection of the vast and fertile bottom
lands along the lower Mississippi
would have similar result, and no one
could have any objection to the full and
businesslike consideration of the mat
ter by congress,
These bottom lands when swept by
floods are for the season as useless as
desert lands, and there is always dam
ger of destructive inundatlons. Prop
erty is swept away and crops are
wiped out frequently. The fear of loss
limits operations and reduces produc-
ton all the time. If the extremely rich
lands exposed to floods could be safe
guarded against them the crops of the
country would be enormously increased
and its wealth enhanced corresponds
ingly.
The question is one no less important
than that Of irrigation, and it should
problem of irriga ton, levee protection
and waterways is one of economic en-
gneering in which the whole country
Is interested.

KING EDWARDS SECRETARY
Lord KnOllys, Who Has Served His
Majesty Many Years.

Lord Francis Knollys baron of Ca
versham, who has been private secre-
tary to King Edward of England for
over thirty years, is probably more
widely known on both sides of the At
lantic than any other member of the
English court, for he is the channel
through which nearly every one of his
majesty's COMMUNICATIONS private and
public, is conveyed.
Lord Knollys was made private Sec
retary to the Prince of Wales. now
King Edward, thirty-three years ago
and has faithfully performed his du-
ties ever since. He was knighted in
1886 and last year received the grand
cross Of the Victoria order and was
