RUPTURE CAN BE CURED.

No matter how long standing, or
how severe. No pain, no interruption
from business. In this truss the prin-
ciple hitherto so greatly desired has
at last been achieved, that of firmly
and constantly holding the rupture
with a gentle hand-like pressure.

ADULT EDUCATION.

The closing Of the public school free lecture
courses for the season was an incident fun OF
inspiring suggestion TO the thoughtful mind lt
is easy TO rouse enthusiasm over the yearly
commencement of some large university, With
its hundreds of graduates and its thousands OF
students. But what, after all. is that compared
with this municipal system of adult education.
I'm which lectures are numbered by thousands
and students by hundreds of thousands? 1t is
fact of significance too great for exaggerahon
that during the season Just ended these lectures
were attended by more than 100000 persons,
practically all adults and the vast majority or
them, as any close observer must perceive,
earnest seekers after knowledge. In scope. In
magnitude and, we may well believe. in infiu-
ence for Intellectual moral and civic good, this
is one of the greatest educational institutions
in the world
DR.. Leipziger. the organizer and director OF
this system, is fond of reminding US that it is
not a lecture bureau, but an ordered scheme Oh
adult education That is exactly true, as q re-
view of the lists of lectures viii chow. The
idea is not to give desultory entertainment, or
even instruction of a hit-or-niss character. The
courses are as discreetly arranged as the cur
riculum of college, with view TO promoting
the education of those above the school age In
q systematic and comprehensive manner. The
range Of topics is great including the standard
subjects Of literature, art, history and science,
and also subjects OF current interest The aim
Is not to give superficial polish of theoretical
learning. but TO make the instruction thorough

HARLEM RIVER APPROACHES.

The plan to take great deal Of costly prop
erty for a southern approach to the Willls-aVe
bridge is i'll advised, and many taxpayers have
already protested against it
This bridge was built upon an unreasonaDiy
ambitious scale The raising of span over the
Harlem River at that point at moderate ana
iudicious outlay was excusable; but the pro-
moters of the scheme in the days of the Van
WICK administration acted as If they were
chiefly anxious to squander as much money as
they could lavish IN every direction. The Willis
ave- bridge requires no enormously expensive
approaches, and it ought not to have them.

DIR. Coffin Tells of Pictures at the
Berlin Exhibition.

The annual exhibition of the Royal Academy
at Berlin has this year a special section COM
posed of works by American artists. The cable
dispatches say that the exhibition opened on
May 2, and that there are about eighty pictures
by artists of the United States. Regarding these
pictures William a Coffin. late director of fine
arts at the Pan-Emerican Exhibition, said yes

Academy exhibition. I understand. emanated from
a prominent foreign artist who has been painting

POLICY IN BROOKLYN.

The ANTHOLOGY Society seems to have been
amply justified in applying to the Appellate
Division of the Supreme Court in Kings County
for an investigation of the proceedings taken
by Magistrate Tighe in certain cases. The
court has decided TO go into the matter thor
oughly. Should Magistrate Tighe succeed In
clearing himself from blame before the high
tribunal it would be cause for general sadsfac-
ton. Every honorable citizen desires to see the
bench, in every part Of it, kept clean of re-
proach. Magistrate Tighe set free thirteen
policy dealers who were arraigned before him,
on the ground that they ought not to have been
arrested without warrants.
Eight of the thirteen were indicted by the
grand jury of Kings County at a later date
Three of the eight pleaded guilty. and fourth
was convicted after a fair, thorough and i'm
partial trial Taking all the circumstances into
account, the full defence of Magistrate Tfghe
and his complete explanation of the causes for
his action will be looked for with exceptional
interest.

INTERESTS IN MANCHURIA.

Official statistics cited yesterday In our spe-
ciaI Washington dispatches amply confirm what
has often been said IN these columns about the
volume and value of our commerce with Man.
churia. Those Northeastern provinces lie near
est TO our shores, and are among the chief con-
suners of our goods. Our trade with them Is
large and is steadily growing, and 1t forms one
of the largest items in our whole Asiatic trade
Noteworthy too, are the kinds of goods which
we send to Manchuria. The chief articles are
cotton fabrics and kerosene OIL Those are the
very articles in which Russia is most earnestly
striving to compete with U.s. We some days
ago gave an account of the extraordinary eff
forts made to supplant American cotton goods
in Manchuria with Russian goods cleverly de-
signed to counterfeit them. 1t is7also. Of course
well known that Russia-our only serious rival
as an oil producer-has long been trying TO in
troduce her petroleum into markets hitherto
served by the United States
Whatever may be the truth about Rus
sias demands upon China concerning Man
churia, it must earnestly be hoped that the
American and Japanese negotiations for the
opening of more Manchurian towns TO trade
viii be vigorously pressed TO a favorable con-
clusion. Such opening of larger markets would
benefit this country. It would also benefit
China. 1t would be IN exact accord with Rus
sias professions of devotion to the policy Of the
open door. As for Russia's explanations, that
she is merely working TO assure the tranquility
of Manchuria after she has evacuated it. there
could scarcely be better guarantee OF such
tranquility than would be found In the opening
of the provinces to the commerce of the world.
