BARBER EXAMINERS.
Three Certificates Revoked Because Of In-
sanitary Shops The SycOsIs Cases.

The state board OF barber examiners
have revoked licenses OF three BARRIERS
because of insanitary conditions OF shops
Out OF these men William Houlihan con-
Quoted shop at POI Branch avenue
which was pronounced insanitary and or
dered closed by the examiners.
He compiled at the time but later the
examiners learned that he had reopened
IN defiance OF their orders
They prornptly revoked his certificate
Joseph Parent OF 81 Union street had
not been conducting his shop In accord
ance with the rules laid down by the
board and they revoked his license.
The third barber that was referred TO
was Albert Ursella OF 20 Swiss street
The examiners state that this man con-
Quoted shop at No. IL on the same thor
oughfare that was insanitary and he was
notified by the board TO stop work. He
did so for time but removed TO an
other which In the estimation OF the ex-
aminers was equally as bad.
In order TO prevent further evasion OF
their orders or another removal the
mans license was revoked.
Secretary Friend of the board investi-
gated the places where the two men re-
ported having caught the BARRIERS itch
last week and found both in excellent
condition. In the Cranston street shop the

surprised 10 learn OF case being re-
ported against him. He will keep a sharp
er watch for trouble OF this sort In the
future and no trouble Is anticipated In
the future.
The Potter's avenue shop was found to
me in excellent condition, also the pro-
prietor, who has had II for about six
months. taking pride In keeping things
neat and tidy. He was greatly troubled

whether the case which the police officer

QUITE BERDEN

The immigration problem is being studied intelligently, and it is evidently about time. When the special agents Of the Immigration Bureau completed their canvass of the various penal re- formatory and charitable institutions of the United States it was found that 4i.9s5 foreigners were being supported or confined at the expense of State gov ernments. An examination of the causes of confinement discloses the sig nificant fact that of the total of 44.9S5 nearly one-half, or 2O.4S5, are insane, while the criminals number 9.S25, con- sisting of 4,124 grave offenders and 5.7o1 whose offenses are petty. The remain- ing 14.675 are dependents from various causes. The 10000 odd insane are vir- tuaIly all burdens for life. There are about 5000 other aliens, who must be supported for life at the expense of the taxpayers because the serious nature of their crimes has led to the imposition of virtual life sentences.
 More than half of the aliens detained in the penal, charitable and insane in stitutions of the country are taken care of by New York, Pennsylvania, Massa- chusetts and Illinois. More than one fourth of the entire lot of disaffected foreigners are in New York institutions. The taxpayers of that commonwealth are called on to support 5,s52 insane, 2,2Ss criminals and 4,2O5 paupers, total of 12,44o aliens. Pennsylyania's burden is total of 56O1; that of Massachu- sets is 5,4sO, and that of Illinois is s,s5s.
 Commissioners General Sargent thinks that, in view of the fact that New York alone has the burden of nearly 6,oeo in- sane aliens, the effort made by the last assembly of that State in the vain at tempt to assume control of the exam nation at the federal station at Ellis Island sufficiently to protect itself against additional immigration of this character is not unnatural

a NEW KAY rn LITn LONG

There is an eager hunt for ways to live long. Some of the old men seem to recommend tobacco. Others apparently get length of days on rum. Some com hine the two with success. Some don't eat much Others eat all they can get. And so forth and so on. An addition to the list of longevity promoter has just been made. and it is. appropriately enough for these times, made by a woman. Mrs. Jane Goodridge Mans field, in celebrating her 1Osd birthday at her home in Lynn, said the great est secret of longevity is to keep from |gossiping.
 This is interesting and important, and we commend it to the attention and consideration of the male and fe-
 male gossips. There may be much in it. Care, they say, will kill the nine-Iived cat. And excessive care about the con- cerns of others is not, of course, con- ducive to the calmness and serenity which tend toward long life. The gos- sip who can't rest day or night on ac- count of his or her deep interest in what is none Of his or her business must wear out sooner or later, though goodness knows that in many cases it doesn't seem to be sooner There are gossips whose age seems to be direct evidence against the theory that gossip isn't good to live on, but perhaps these are the exceptions that prove the rule, and they might live many years longer if they were not gossips. On the whole the theory looks sound. Anyhow, it wouldn't do the world and all that therein is any harm to adopt it.

A N-EGDs D ' .ys ElN D 1rENE,

The amendment to New Haven's charter suggested by Judge Simeon E. Baldwin would be real amending amendment if it should be made. His idea is that the charter be so amended that there would be created a commits sion on public memorials to consist Iof three citizens, to be nominated by the mayor and confirmed by the board .of aldermen, to hold office for three years, except that two of those first appointed shall be appointed for one and two years respectively; to which commission shall be referred all pro jects for the erection of any public statue, monument, or other memorial on the outside of any city building or upon any public grounds in the city; no such memorial to be erected unless it be of a style, design and material approved by said commission. The members of said commission to be chosen from such as are specially quail flied by travel, training and taste to exercise an intelligent judgment in re. spect to matters so to be committed to them.
 This well covers a situation that needs covering. New Haven is big and beautiful. It is so big and beautiful that it is not entirely safe to longer leave any of it's public ornamentation to the notions of those who, while meaning well, may not have the re- uuisite knowledge and taste to do well. New Haven fortunately has many cit izens who are specially qualified by travel, training and taste to exercise an intelligent judgment in the matter under consideration. And of course such citizens would gladly serve their beloved city in the way suggested. This kind of charter amending is needed, and we hope it will be done.

5 It is all right to benevolently assimiI- ate. but after such assimilation it is right and proper that both benevolenee and beneficence should continue. So we must blame ourselves for not doing as we ought to by Guam. To our shame be it said. and it is said, we are not as helpful to Guam as Spain was. It appears that under Spanish rule the home government defrayed eighty per cent. of the islands expenses, while now the entire burden rests on the peo- pie of Guam; that the food products of the island are insufficient; that the means of communication with the rest of the world are worse than they used to be; that our provisions for the edu- cation of the children are inadequate, there being twenty-three hundred children of school age and but one i'm perfectly equipped school building; that there is no legislative body, and that the judicial system is unsatisfae. tory.
 This won't do. What are we for if not ito help those who need help? If we can't do as well by Guam as Spain did, we had better give Guam back. if Spain will take it, which is doubtful. But of course we can and will We are pretty busy, but not too busy to do right.
