The inhabitants of the town Of Warning
ton, situated within the limits of the Pensa-
cola Navy Yard, are stih making work, not
to say trouble. for the Navy Department.
Warrington grew up after the Civil War as
a town composed of employees of the Pensa-
cola ward, who squatted on an unused
portion of the reservation, and has increased
in size until it contains now more than 1, 500
inhabitants. These thrifty persons pay no
taxes and have no votes; the Navy Depart
ment maintains their town. policing, light
ing and draining il, keeping its streets clean
and providing for it what other towns pro-
vide for themselves, Very few of the in
habitants are employed by the Government;
most OF them are fishermen and farmers.
A year ago Warrington asked for an appro-
priation from Congress for two schools. one
for white children, the other for negroes;
but the desired gift was not forthcoming,
the Secretary Of the Navy Directing effec-
lively. Now he Is trying to get rid OF the
suuatters, and proposes to revoke the leases
OF those not employed in the navy yard.
A recent investigation shows that one family
holds eleven leases, which 1t sublets; another
head of a family obtained permission to
build a wharf for himself, from which he
now derives an income from high wharfage
fees. One Of the Florida Senators is in Wash
ington to protest against the revocation Of
the leases but the Navy Department thinks
that only employees should be allowed to
live in the navy yard, and it would seem
as il Warrington had committed tactical
mistake last year when, in trying to get
free schools, it called attention to the fact
that it lived and moved and had its being
on Government property at Government
expense.

Our Ears.

Doctors are delightful and dreadful.
After rendering mad dogs harmless,
turning plaques into playthings, and
getting along swimmingly in their prom
ises to cure consumption, they now tell
us that we are all getting deaf. Our
ears are wearing out in the noise of our
civilization. We used to imagine that
bad ears were confined to poor singers
and to prosecuting whistlers. Long ago
there were fewer deaf people in Prussia
than in any other country in the world
in proportion to it's population; and the
Frenchmen used to say that it was be-
cause WAGNER never got a fair chance
in his own country. But, coming down
to the figures Of the doctors, how many
people in the civilized world have ears
in their normal condition, or, to put it
plainly. how many have healthy ears?
One out of three, according to DR..
TRoLTscH, and he only counted adults
from 20 to so years old. Among the
people more than so years old the mel
ancholy proportion is one good ear to
three bad ones. The possessor of one
good ear never knows that the other one
is muffled. He can hear quite enough
to satisfy himself; in fact, he can hear
too much, sometimes, but all the same
he is deaf, or getting deaf gradually;
and the doctors are sounding the alarm.
Happy are those who can't hear it,
Railroad men appear to have the worst
ears of all. But out Of 1850 ordinary
men in France under so years, DR.. FELIX
found 200 suffering from incipient deaf
ness. A recent examination of the
children in the public schools Of France,
Germany, Russia and Switzerland gave
80 per cent with defective hearing; and,
according to the statistics of DR.. CHEATLE
presented to the biological Society of
London, only 4a per cent. of the pupils
of the public schools Of England have
healthy ears.
A report on American ears would be
interesting,

Manhattan lines. In snow In winter, in
heat in summer, and to great incon-
venience in all seasons, the passengers
must walk quarter OF mile or more

Request for permission to make the
connection does not come from the rail-
roads, upon which it would entail an
additional expense without bringing
additional revenue, but from the public
that has to use the cars.

How to Have Work

The cure for the paralysis of industry
which is caused everywhere by the lock-
ing OF horns between employee and
employer is available whenever the
public is ready to apply it. 1t consists
of full protection for the thousands of
laborers who always prefer work to
idleness.
Protection, however, does not lie only
in long sticks carried by the police for
use in moments Of positive violence. IT
lies first in public opinion SO general
and 80 determined to give men their
rights under the law that the misguided
sentimentalists who keep pouring the
encouragement of praise on the leaders
of coercion shall not prevail against it.
Where law rules idleness cannot last
for any length Of time in any civilized
community, particularly in the United
States.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuS-Str: There Is great

Just think OF III Two hundred and nifty thousand
children will then be thrown on our comparatively
shadeless streets TO seek amusement as hes, they

Those who watch with interest the growth
in this country of a taste for good music will
see further evidence of it in the withdrawal
OF the Kneisel Quartet from the Boston
SYMPHONY Orchestra. Chamber music is
the most exclusive form Of the tone art. 1t
is the form which appeals least to the appe-
tite for specious show and gives the small
est opportunity to hide poverty of ideas
under glittering display and bewildering
schemes OF instrumental color. Since its
inception the Kneisel Quartet has been a
part Of the Boston orchestra. Its members
have been obliged to retain their places in
that body in order to make sure of earning
a livelihood. Now, however, the support
accorded to them by the public and the
promise Of still wider patronage warrant
them In cutting loose from the parent or
ganixation and embarking in independent

A Record HOld.Cp,

On the very heels OF the cutting down
of Aldermanic power by the Legislature,
the Board of Aldermen defeat street
railroad franchise imperatively de-
manded by the public Immediately af-
fected and unanimously approved by
the other officials connected with the
matter. The character Of this action is
emphasized by the fact that the leader
in it comes from Brooklyn, although the
railroad in question was to cross the
Harlem River at l55th street. 1t was on
Tuesday that the Aldermen refused to
confirm the approval by the Board Of
Estimate and Apportionment, the Sink
ing Fund committee and the Railroad
Committee of the Board Of franchise
for the Union Railway and the City Inter-
borough Railway to lay tracks across
the Macomb's Dam Bridge. The north
ern terminus OF the Manhattan Elevated
at l55th street and Eighth avenue and that
OF the Metropolitan under trolley at l55th
street and Central avenue are both dis
tant from the south terminus of the
Jerome avenue trolley about as far as
Fourteenth street and Broadway is from
Seventeenth street and Broadway. II a
passenger going north on Broadway
car was compelled to alight at Fourteenth
street and walk to Seventeenth street, and
every southbound passenger on Broad
way or Fourth avenue was compelled
to alight at Seventeenth street and walk
to Fourteenth street, this condition would
be deemed intolerable But such is the
condition of affairs which the Aldermen
refuse to correct.

horse power Of the Maine is 10000, as in the

carry some eleven engineers in their COM

by cutting down the number OF its naval

repairs due to the lack Of expert supervision
of the machinery of its vessels. Economy

In the beginning the general prediction
was that in light airs the Reliance would be
beaten by the Columbia, and, Of course,
beaten worse by the Constitution. In light
airs the Independence was canal boat, and
the Reliance was too much like her in prin-
ciple to be materially different under such
conditions. On the other hand as We
understand it, the hope was cherished in
Bristol that the immense canvas which the
Reliance would wear would give her enough
power to nullify the disadvantages Of her
bulky form when standing upright.
The first disappointment about her is,
therefore, to be recorded, In light air on
Tuesday the Columbia beat her in brush
of few minutes.
1t is too early in the year for any trial to
be conclusive; none the less, confidence in
the Reliance must come down a peg.

Some wives prefer flatirons in an
argument with their husbands, but
Mrs. Nameahookano seems to think
that a broom stick is just as good. In
any event her husband is at the
Queens Hospital suffering from a
broken eye which he claims he re-

be more exact, from "A broomstick in

Keaupuni is the name of the hus-

argument with his wife yesterday.
The wheels of the domestic machine
did not run smoothly. A heated dis

the strenuous to the violent and from
the violent to the broomstick. The

of the broomstick first. Keaupuni put
up his dukes" but his wife was too
quick, he says, and she landed right

Keaupuni on the floor and the subse-

escorted to the police station and
charged with assault and battery. Her
case was continued until Wednesday
by Judge Lindsay this morning.
