The Unwlsdoni of the Wise.

Within the last year marriage has greatly reduced the number of availa- ble public school teachers in the city of Baltimore and the situation seems to have unduly ruff1ed the temper of one Wise, assistant superintendent. At any rate, he issued recently a public statement in which he declared that a teacher was the last person in the world to marry, that every woman teacher married means another hen pecked husband, and that every man who teaches becomes domineering and grows imperious. He added that it was inevitable that a woman should develop into boss after. governing children.
 It was an ironical fate that bestowed upon the assistant superintendent of Baltimore's public school system the cognomen of Wise. For with race sui> eide staring the nation in the face. it would seem the height of folly to make so damaging a statement in regard to the fitness for matrimony of a class so numerically large as that represented
 
 by the public school teachers of the United States. Moreover, can MT. Wise afford to antagonize by one brief state ment the members of SO important a profession?
 It would seem not, and he will prob- ably live to rue the day that he did not curb an unruly tongue. For MT. Wise, it is asserted, is a bachelor, and a con flrmed bachelor at that. It is easily understandable, therefore, that his po- sition is fraught with peril. Any min uta he might fall victim to the charms of member of the very pro- fession he has slandered. and whether his wife develops into a patient Gri- selda or turns out to be a veritable l shrew, he will have oceasion to reflect frequently and bitterly on the foolish

Fire Losses for the Year.

According to the figures compiled by the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. if the loss by fire in the United States for ten months of the year is main- tained throughout the month of De- cember, the total for the twelve months will be in the nelghborhpod of S25O.- coo, 600.
 A quarter of a billion dollars is an enormous aggregate of value to be wiped out by flames In a single year. Tn 1902 the loss was s14s ,26O, 600, and in 1903 it was s156, ,195, eco. Even leaving out the Baltimore and Rochester con nagratiOns, the destruction in the cur rent year largely exceeds either of those sums. The one consoling circum- stance is that the insurance companies met all their obligations promptly and that no concern of any importance was wrecked by the drain which came so heavily upon its resources. This is a strong symptom of the country's finar- cial health and vigor, but it is not the sweeping away of valuable prop critics. Prevention of such calamities is much better than remuneration for them, since the latter is a heavy tax on the grand aggregate of property owners. Tn this connection the Pitts burg Times put forward the following concise and sensible suggestions: The science of building has attained a point at which fireproof construction is pos sible Except in such cases. as that of Baltimore, where acres were ravaged by the flames. it is only a matter of material and the putting of it together to insure comparative safety from dis aster. The smaller calamities are all due to that sort of building which fur nishes quick food for flames. Even in Baltimore there would have been no such tremendous loss but for the fact that most of the burned district was composed of edifices that dated back from twenty to fifty years. The teach ing of the vast cost of fire in this year is that all municipal governments shoudl insist on every new building embracing all the defenses that have been found practicable against starting and communicating flames"
 The municipalities of the country can not take this lesson too seriously nor apply it too closely in the. conduct of their affairs. The beginning of immun- ity is in the enforcement of suitable building regulations. That, in the course of time. will give the fire depart ments less to do. reduce a city's ex- penses, and enhance the public safety.

habit of reckless speech. For shrew would not remain silent and a Grlselda would represent a dumb reproach.s
 As for the statement MT. Wise has made. the public at large win probably refuse to consider it. Every year thousands of school teachers through- out the country marry, yet the meek do not possess the land. Nor is the henpecked husband the rule rather than the exception In America. So for everybody except the assistant super intendent everything will go on as be- fore, teachers will continue to marry and to be given in marriage and no new voice will be lifted in protest. And MT. Wise will be remembered only while his foOlishness is being 6eplored

AN ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING
A Lady Who Was Playing With a
 Revolver.

Mrs. s. w Cottle, living at Twelfth street and Brill avenue, was accident ally shot yesterday afternoon in Q cu- rious manner. She was sitting at table holding in her hand a p caIiber revolver. It was an old weapon and had not been discharged for months. In fact Mrs. Cottle did not think about it being loaded. She had just found 1t in trunk which she was overhauling, preparatory to her return to California, where she resides.
 She heard an explosion and the next instant was conscious of an excruciat- ing pain in her left elbow. She then found that a bullet had entered the palm Of her hand but she could see no place of exit. She sent for Dr. Hawley, who dressed the wound and brought Mrs. Cottle to his office where he made a search for the bullet with an x-ray. He found it lodged near the elbow against a nerve.
 The bullet had passed just under the skin from the point of entrance to the place where it was found. It was extracted with little difficulty and the pain, which had been almost unbear- able, was relieved.

does not This statement is most mis- leading. Great Britain, vile she is renowned for protecting her subjects throughout the world, bringing the re- sources of her fleet. if need be, to aid them, makes an exception as regards her adopted citizens in the land of their birth. The person who having been naturalized in Great Britain, goes back to the country of his birth does so at his or her own risk. The British government considers itself, under such circumstances, entirely absOlved from the duty of giving protection.
 "The simple fact is that the United States goes much further in protect ing adopted citizens than does any other country, and it is only rank dem agogism wsich can find fault because some of our thinking statesmen do not wish to see American citizenship pros tituted by persons utterly unfit to re- ceive it. who frequently use it fraudu- lently. and who. as many eases prove, are quite ready to renounce it and take up their old allegiance if they can gain advantage thereby"
 The people of the United States should do two things: They should. by law, make it extremely difficult for undesirable foreigners to acquire citi- zenship in this country; and when a foreigner goes back to the land of his birth to live he should be made to understand that the United States will take very little interest in him thereafter Nearly all the friction be- tween our government and foreign governments has been over the protec- to the objectionable class described by MT. White.

TIFF POLAND TUNNEL
Freight for Walker District now Be-
 ing Taken Through It.

H. P. Anewalt. general freight and
 passenger agent of the s. F., P. & P.
 railroad and its branch lines, was in
 the city yesterday MT. Anewalt says
 that the time has arrived for the res idents and operators in the Walker
 mining district to begin receiving ben
 efits in a commercial way from the
 tunnel enterprise of the Poland Min ing company that has been undaF way for two or three years. The railroad company is now receiving and deliv- ering freight for the Walker district. though its facilities are not yet per fected as they propose to have them in short time.
 It is likely that most readers are not familiar with just what the above refers to, though much has been writ ten about it from time to time. A little resume therefore will be perti- nent. The town of Walker and the Walker mingin district lie on upper Lynx creek. some twelve miles from Prescott. Though there is a good wag- on road from Prescott it is a long and weary one and abounds in steep grades, making wagon freighting both | tedious and expensive. The town of Poland and the Poland mill are at the head of Big Bug creek and sep arated from Walker by an immense mountain ridge, the divide between Lynx creek and Big Bug creek. The Santa Fe interests first built the Pres colt and Eastern railroad from Pres colt Junction to Mayer, then built a branch line from Huron up Big Bug l creek to Poland. The Poland Mining company, one of the moving spirits in
 which was President F. M. Murphy of the railroad company, began the development of its mining properties in a manner that meant more than
 mineral development for that part of the country. Owing to the claims sit uated on that immense mountain be- tween the towns of Walker and Po- land. it was planned to run a. large tunnel through the mountain. connect ing the two districts. capable Of ac-
 commodating a railroad line or some
 sort as well as developing numerous ore bodies that cropped out on the sur face or were known to exist and mak-
 ing them easily accessible for work ing. This tunnel line was designed to do commercial business for the town of
 Walker as we'll as handle the compa-
 ny's ores. It is that traffic that has
 now begun and which will give the
 operators in the Walker district cheaper freight and great saving in
 time and trouble.
 MT. Anewalt says that the present
 transportation facilities are somewhat
 crude but will be made first class as
 soon as possible. The tunnel between
 the two towns is nearly two miles long
 and is slightly up grade from the Po-
 land end. The cars are drawn through
 to Walker by, mule power and returned
 by gravity. Plans for the installation
 of an electric line however, are being
 made and it will be installed as soon
 as it can be determined just what is
 the best and most economical thing
 to do-
 As a gratifying incidental feature,
 the ore bodies in the mountain which
 have been revealed by the tunnel are
 richer than was expected, and the val
 ue of the Poland properties has been greatly increased.
