DANGER IN TALL BUILDINGS.

A subject that promises to be Of
great interest to New Workers. is now
being investigated in London. 1t is
whether or not tall buildings tend to
cause physical degeneracy in the peo-
pie who live close to or in them. DR..
Warner, a wel-known physician of
London, has given great deal of at
tention to this subject. and the con-
clusion from his examination of the
heads of over 100000 children is that
the heads of children in localities near
tall buildings are becoming smaller.
He doesn't know why this is so.
but he is sure he isn't mistaken. He
simply states what he believes to be
fact. Why he made the examination
of the heads of so many children liv
ing in and in the vicinity of tall build
ings he doesn't say. II may be that
he noticed that the heads of children
in the vicinity of tall buildings We're
smaller than the heads of children in
other localities. For instance, he says
that small heads among children are
much more common i'm Kensington,
where there are a great many tall
buildings, than in Whitechapel and
Rethnal, where there are very few.
And ii seems this tendency to small
heads among children is noticeable in
every part OF London where there is
a settlement of tall buildings.
In view Of the fact that there are
many more tall buildings in New York
than in London there ought to be an
investigation started there. II it be a
fact that tall buildings have a ten
dency to cause small heads among
those who live near them, then prob
ably steps will be taken to prevent
the construction of any more sky
scrapers. However, there are plenty Of
people with small heads who seem to
have as much wit as people with large
ones.
Or. Warmers idea seems to be that
little heads i'm the districts of tall
buildings are due to the fact that such
buildings shut out the light and air
from their immediate vicinity. 1t can
not be said that the Flatiron i'm New
York shuts out the air. There is more
air IN the vicinity Of that tall struc-
ture than is comfortable for pedes-
TRANS.
II is said that occupants Of flats in
New York become pessimists owing to

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Galveston News (Dem0 saws:
1T is almost settled that Judge Par
ker is to be the nominee for the first
place. OF course he may fail to secure
the honor because of facts or develop
ments which tend to convince dele
gates to the st. Louis Convention that
the success of the ticket depends upon
the nomination of some other man.
Even taking il that the first place is
practically provided for, still the i'm
portant work is by no means complet-
ed. The second place remains to be
provided for and the Democratic party
should not fail to name a man at least
the equal of Senator Fairbanks in
ability influence and character"
The Louisville Courier-Journal
(Dem) says: why postpone for
weeks the notification of Mr.. Roose-
welt that he has been nominated? Tell
him at once. He has been working
three long years for that nomination.
He has converted the government into
a nomination harvesting machine. He
has lived, breathed. performed. written.

He has surrendered the principles he
once professed. allied himself with the
influences he once denounced, I'm order
to get IL. For mercy's sake put him
out of his misery and tell him at once
that he has got It,"
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
(Dem.) says: ION the 6th of July
Democrats from every state in the
Union will assemble in st. Louis. Every
delegate to the convention and every
visitor will be a reflector OF public
sentiment from their section. The del
egates from the North will be able to
report upon the drift of political senti-
ment, and II they declare that there is
a steady and insistent demand for Mr..
Cleveland on the part of the people.
and that he could make the heaviest
inroads on the Republican strength OF
the North, Il seems 70 us that all other
candidates should unite in rendering
him the unanimous nomination OF the
Democratic party. In the face of the
danger confronting the South. Demo-
Gratis cannot afford 10 be at daggers
drawn, and they had better merge their
differences and concentrate their fire

was not invariably all that could have

On occasions not only what the royal

At the Roman forum, where the
King and President went to see the

evidently forgot in whose presence they
were. Broken sentences were over
heard. such as:

that it is his tall hat which makes the

INSPECTION or TROLLEY POLES.

In suggesting that the city might
have to inspect the trolley poles of
the street car company in order to in
sure the people against accidents SINH
lar to that which occurred last Satur-
day, the Morning News did not mean
that it would be necessary to create a
Department of Public Safety, and thus
increase the cost of the city govern
ment. The cost of the city govern
ment is certainly as great as it ought
to be now. If we are to make the
city attractive to investors and home
seekers we must bring down the tax
rate, and to do that expenses of the
municipality must be reduced, not in
creased.
But it seems to us that the city
can have the poles inspected without
increasing its expenses. What is to
prevent the police from inspecting
them? The average policeman is just
as capable of inspecting the poles as
most of the men likely to be appointed
for that purpose would be. The whole
city is covered by the police. Let
every policeman inspect the poles on
his beat every week, inspecting a GER
tain number each day. If he finds a
pole in a bad condition let him report
it to headquarters, and let the record
be made up every day and sent to the
street car company. If the company
doesn't put up new poles when thus
notified that the old ones are in a dan
gerous condition let the city take such
action against it as it's negligence de-
mands.
The police have plenty of time for
this work In fact, it is in line with
their duties. When walking their beats
they might as well be inspecting the
trolley poles as not. The inspection
wouldn't draw their attention away
from their other duties. 1t wouldn't
require them to be off their beats, or
in any particular part of their beats,
during the hours they are on duty In
deed, the work of inspecting the poles
would be a relief from the duh mo-
notony of their regular duties.
1t is true. of course, that it will be
said that the police cannot do any
thing more than they are doing now,
but they can, and they will do this
work, if the Council says they must.
No doubt there are a dozen or more
men hoping that few new offices will
be created in connection with trolley
pole inspection, but we are sure if
special men were appointed to inspect
the poles the work wouldn't be as well
done as it could be done, if properly
directed, by the police.

All sorts of origins have been given

Pittsburg Dispatch, and this was the
manner of its springing:
Mrs. Olive Elwood, counted the

on her porch in Richfield Springs read
ing the story of Roscoe Conkling's de-
lection from the United States Senate
because Garfield insisted on naming a
man distasteful to Conkling as Collec-
tor of the port of New York. Then
Mrs. Elwood read how Senator Thorn

the Senate. AS the woman read a

What fortunate provision of ma

forever Nature always spares the
suffering; she is a veritable store
house of pleasing rewards, for those
who seek her aid. In the years gone
by falling hair and grayness have
cast q gloom over the lives of thou
sands of young women, but thanks TO

DRAWING THE LINE ON BETTING.


The life insurance companies and
some of the big department stores of
New York have taken stand against
permitting their employees to bet on
the races. day or two ago each of
the employees of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society received an unsign-
ed circular in which it was stated that
any of it's employees seen on the race
track, in pool rooms or in company OF
persons whose business it is to place
bets on horses would be dismissed from
the societys affairs. 1t is stated that
a number of the department stores have
taken similar action. 1t wouldn't be
surprising if the financial institutions
generally of New York took the same
stand.
1t seems that since the close of the
pool rooms in New York there has
been rush to the race tracks. and
some of the heads of the life insurance
companies recently saw there many of
their employees betting on the races
There was a conference between some
of the companies and the warning was
issued. In future, young men i'm some
of the most prominent financial in
stitutions of New York will play the
races at their peril
And It will be admitted that the of
ficers of these institutions are right in
this matter Betting on horse races
is only one form of gambling. and a
fascinating form it is. Thousands OF
men, particularly young men. have
been financially and morally ruined by
II. In these days of tremendous finan-
cial transactions. transactions in which
vast sums of money are handled by
young and comparatively unknown
men in the banks, trust COM
panies and life insurance companies, it
is of the utmost importance that the
employees in these institutions shall be
as far removed as possible from the
temptation of wrongdoing.
If they gamble they are sure to lose
sooner or later and then comes the
temptation TO make good their losses
by gambling on a larger scale. 1t is
seldom that an employee of bank or
| through gambling on the race track or
| on the stock market. Gambling on
the race track leads to other kinds of
| gambling, and a gambler ought not to
be permitted in any place of business
where he has access to money. He
may be honest. but If he becomes in
volved financially, the chances are in
| favor of his becoming dishonest. He
will borrow from his employer to make
his losses good, with the result that he
becomes more deeply involved, and of
zen wrecks the institution with which
he is connected. The policy of the life
| companies and department stores
of New York in this matter is like
" to be followed by financial institu-
tions in other parts of the country.

Hoodlunism in New York is becom-
ing almost unSearable. From throwing
missiles at automobiles, against whom
the hoodlums may have imagined they
had a grievance because of the dam
ger of being run over by fast auto
mobile, they are now throwing things
at other vehicles, including the street
cars. During the past week they have
been throwing lighted firecrackers, as
well as rocks and brickbats, into the
vehicles. On several occasions the
dresses and wells of women have been
set on fire from the exploding crack
ers. The police are doing what they
can to break up the practice, but small
boys and youths bent on malicious mis-
chief are hard to catch.
