TIE MATOR WIS RIGHT.

A slight warmth OF feeling, due perhaps to
atmospheric conditions. and, if so, quite pardon
able. was developed at Thursdays meeting of
that usually cool and tranquil body, the Rapid
Transit Commission. The discussion was over
the project for a tunnel between Jersey City and
Church-st.. in this borough, for which a fran
chise is waiting to be sanctioned. The commit
tee TO which it had been referred having made
a favorable report. Mr. Shepard read the terms
of the proposed grant-Tead them with consid-
erable difficulty because of interlineatfons-
did not succeed in making them entirely clear
TO Mayor Low, who finally declined to vote,
with the explanation that the franchise would
come before him officially at a later stage and
he preferred not to commit himself in advance.
At this Controller Grout, reputed to be stickler
for all the formalities and n registered watch
dog of the treasury, displayed considerable irri-
tation and even went so far as TO liberate his
feelings in a sarcastic manner. The Mayors
vote was necessary, but the Mayor would not
be persuaded, and the matter went over in
definitely.
Now we have no present reason to doubt that
the scheme is a laudable one. but nevertheless
the Mayor was right. as his statement on the
subject clearly shows:
am sorry to disappoint the members of L.
commission and the men who are interested in
the success of this franchise. but I do not think
81 is right 10 deal with important matters I'm the
way that has been tried to-day. We have not got
the report of the committee before us nor have
we got the exact text of the franchise Although

forward as rapidly possible. do not think ii
IS IN the best interests of the city take action
until we have the whole matter properly before
us must adhere to my previous position and
decline 10 vote. II is Just this loose way OF do
ing business that has led to the city losing in
the past much money on public contracts.
That is a position which the Mayors col

credit that he learned a lesson from that Incl
dent and in the present case he appears 10 bet

The franchise may exactly conform TO the pub

JOKERs AND COPPERHEADs.

The fool killer cannot afford to take vaca-
ton in spite Of the hot weather There is work
for him still TO do, for the empty headed practi-
cal joker is abroad in the land. The smart
young men who thought that it would be a good
joke TO throw a supposed dead copperhead
into the face of a sleeping companion repeats
the venerable "didn't-know-it-was-lo loaded" per-
formance in new form. The snake happened
to be loaded-loaded with one of the deadliest
of posons-and instead of merely causing bad
fright to the victim of the practical jokers it
bit him in the face giving a serious, and it was
for a time feared fatal wound
Probably the sleeper owes his life to the fact
that the serpent had been stunned Doubtless
at the time of its injury and capture it had
spent most of its poison, and when it bit the
young man in whose face it was thrown it in
Jected the merest drop of venom. 1t is no fault
OF the practical jokers. however that their COM
panlon is not dead. 1t is to be hoped that those
particular fools have learned lesson, though
they will unquestionably be followed by
myriads who will through the ages kill them
selves and others with dead snakes harmless
PISTOLS innocuOus poisOns, automobiles that a
baby can handle and various other things that
they did not know were loaded.
BY the way, this copperhead hunt over on the
Palisades is worthy of the notice of the large
number Of New Workers who would a-walking
go in these summer days. The Palisades is a
beautiful spot and would not discourage
lovers and others from seeking pleasure in the
leafy hooks and shady walks on the bluff The
place is safe enough if reasonable care is taken.
but it does not do to plunge heedIessly through
underbrush and rocks without looking ahead
as may be done almost anywhere else in the
environs of New-York. The authorities at the
Geological Gardens, we believe. say that there
are no poisonous snakes running wild within
fifty miles of New-York except the copperheads,
which, as Is we'll known, inhabt the Palisades.
Perhaps when the Interstate Park Is well estab-
hshed campaign to eXterminate these venom
Gus reptiles may be carried to success Mean
while frequenters of the Palisades should be
reasonably circumspect when on their tramps.

POLICY THIEVES PUT TO FLIGHT

The decision of the Appellate Division OF the
Supreme Court that "Al" Adams, the so-called
Policy king was rightfully convicted by due
process of law has caused a panic among the
policy swindlers. These fellows, in one way or
another, usually succeed in getting hold of
money enough for the payment of fines but
when their leaders are sent to prison, and the
penalties imposed are affirmed upon appeals to
the higher tribunals, then wild alarm in the
ranks of the fraternity becomes widespread
The policy pickpockets are on the run: and
they should be kept in full flight until they
finally disappear.
New-York tribune., 1903-07-11
POCKETS.

This is the time of year when advice on
the subject How to keep cool in warm weather
may be had at small cost. In many instances
the students of the subject look uncomforta bla
and seem to fare badly because of the high
temperature, but they persist in making rules
for the comfort Of their fellows and derive
much pleasure from prescribing remedies which
will make the New-YorlSer forget the disconn-
forts of the good old summer time
The newest recruit in the ranks of the army
working for the relief of the perspiring public
is the man who makes war on pockets "Take
a man pockets away, or sew them up" he saws
and he will be a cooler and better man In
the average pair of trousers there are three
pockets; there often as many as five. Then
'if the man a waistcoat there are three or
-four outside pockets and at least one inside
pocket In the ordinary business coat there are
three to five pockets and in all of these the
man carries something-a bunch of letters
bunch of keys, card case, a cigar case pen
ellis handkerchiefs match safe. penlxnife. mem
"orandum book. cigar cutter, tobacco or
cigarette case and scraps of paper and pocket
pieces The necessary articles could be carried
in one pocket, together with the mans money
land little pocket could be reserved for the
watch. Leave your trash and nonsense at home
'Or at your office; try it, and you will be more
Comfortable"
There may be something in the warm weather
advice, but 1t will take more than ordinary
summer weather discomfort to wean the Ameri-
can from the pocket habit. He remembers that
the pocket of his earliest joys. and the
things that did not find their way into it
were only too large or too far away or nailed
down The chalk and marbles and bits of
stone and twine, the 1shhooks. tops and shells,
the chewing gum, apples and fire crackers can
dies, pencils and bells. the knives and buckles
and useless trash Of every kind and description
that the boy managed TO store away in his
pockets made his parents stare with wonder
The pocket habit, acquired in early childhood.
did not relax its hold the young man. al
though what a catch-aH for the boy be-
came more useful to the man, and aided him in
pose and poise, besides doing service for the
night key and other necessaries.
