New York Man Averts Serious Acct
dent to Heavily Laden Street
Car at Cost of His Life.

NEW YORK, June 30.-A fve-ton boiler
mounted on truck ran away down the
Amsterdam hill at One Hundred and
Thirty-fourth street tonight and killed Jo-
seph Olive watchman, who lost his life
while averting a collision between the run
away and crowded street car. Olive, who
had been attempting to stop the horses
when he found he could not throw a tim
ber under the wheels. grabbed the bride
reins and turned the horses just enough
to clear the car. A moment later the truck,
with Olive still clinging to the bride,
crashed into building, catching the watch
man between the boiler and the wall and

BRAUN AT OYSTER BAY
Emigration Inspector whose Mail
Tempered With Makes
Report.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y. June 30.-Marcus
Braun of New York, the United States emil
grafton inspector, who while on a special
mission in Europe recently caught an Off
cial of the Austro- Hungarian government
in the act of tampering with his mall
visited Oyster Bay today to have a talk
with Secretary Loeb about some official
matters.
The work of Inspector Braun was of a
confidential character and 1t is likely, there
fore, that the reports on 1t may not be
made public. He said, however, that the re-
ports show not only through the personal
statements Inspector Braun himself, but
also through official documents of the Aus
tro-Hungarian government and through
affidavits of responsible persons, that the
Austro-Hungarian government is fostering
and encouraging the emigration to the
United States OF its people and at the same
time urging the immigrants not TO become
citizens of this country, but to get together
all the money they can earn here and then
return to their own country. In the foster
ing of this immigration it is charged that
! the Austro-Hungarian government sub
sidizes one or more steamship lines, with
! the result that they carry the immigrants
| to the United States at a nominally low
rate. BY this means the Austro- Hungarian
government rids itself temporarily at least.
/ of some residents who are not especially
! desirable and many of this class succeed
in landing in this country, despite the
/ rigidity of the immigration law
There are societies in this country whose
members work in conjunction with the Aus
| tro-Hungarian government bringing all
sorts of influence to bear to secure the
landing of certain immigrants who come
here. The situation presented is regarded
/ by the immigration authorities as serious
! although in the absence of legislation bear
ing directly upon it nothing can be done
except TO enforce strictly the law as it now

PAUL JONES.
His Last Years Were Not Of Poverty
and ohsouritY.

Even Hanchette, the French
naval authority, speaks Of John
Paul Jones as having died in great
wretchedness, obscure and poor. It
Is such outrageous peryersions Of
truth that / have felt impelled to
meet and combat.
After the war of the Revolution
Jones was received in London with
the greatest distinction. The Army
and Navy club delighted to honor
him. Burke and Fox were his ia
miliars. Horace Walpole was his
intimate friend. To them all he
was "dear Paul" The only act Of
"piracy" ever alleged against him
was his descent upon Selkirk castle,
whence some of his men, failing to
find Lord Selkirk, carried away the
family plate. Learning of the pill
lage, Jones, Immediately after get
ting back to BreSt, purchased it out
of his own pocket and returned it
to Lady Selkirk with a letter of
apology. The SelAirks thencefor-
ward were among his most ardent
admirers.
In his last illness the king of
France sent daily to ask for his
health. Had he lived a week longer
he would have been admiral of
France. The French assembly rose
upon its feet and stood uncovered
while the resolution of respect was
being passed. He left a large sum
Of money to his two surviving sis
tiers. He died the ranking officer
of the American navy. Three weeks
after his death letters came from
Washington and Jefferson placing
our marine interests in Europe in
his hands and authorizing him to
organize an expedition to go after
the Barbary pirates. He stood in
the relation of a son to Franklin,
of brother to Jefferson, possessing
the fullest confidence of the Father
Of His Country. Whenever he APP
pears upon the written page we see
not only a naval commander, but a
statesman, his writing, in its calm
wisdom and crystal lucidity, remind
ing US of the writing of Abraham
Lincoln.
Personally he was the most capti-
waiting Of men, handsome and gen.
tie. When he came oack from his
wonderful sea fight the Duchess Of
Orleans lodged him in the Palais
Royal. The king made him a chew
alier of France. Paris went wild.
In the court, in the highest French
society, he was literally "a bowling

THE BOTS DE- BOULoaNE.

Partisan public opinion has been
pretty thoroughly aroused over the
proposal of the municipal authori-
ties in relation to the principal play
ground of Paris, the beautiful Bots
de Boulogne. The Paris municipal
council recently purchased from the
state that part of the Notifications
and glacis Immediately adjoining
the Bots with the intention of level
ing the .glacis and dividing up the
ground into building lots. This
would involve diminution Of the
park by about 100 acres and the de-
Struction of over 5000 trees. In
the old days of the empire such a
plan once resolved upon would have
been carried out regardless Of pro-
tests, but the Figaro, leading the
protest, has now aroused public
opinion to such an extent over the
proposed vandalism as regards the
Bots that it is scarcely probable
the authorities will persevere in the
alan.

Where Our Navy Stands.

The United States navy is in ton
mage, fourth; in battleships, fifth
in armored cruisers, seventh; in
submarines, fifth; in torpedo boat
destroyers, sixth. Rather a sorry
show, but figures will not lie. For
example, the japanese are seventh,
inferior to Great Britain, France,
Germany, the United States, Italy
and Russia (before the cataclysm) in
number of battleshipS. And yet the
japanese, who are also well to the
bottom Of the list in torpedo boats
and destroyers, are able to give a
very good account Of themselves on
the sea and in sea fight.
And in two years the United
States will have twenty-five battle
ships instead of twelve and twelve
great armored cruisers instead Of
two.-Everybody's.

Cables an Old Story Now.

The almost placid indifference
with which America receives the
news of the completion of arrange
ments for the extension of the pres
ent Pacific cable which links the
United States with Hawaii, Guam
and the Philippines to the shores Of
Japan and China is in remarkable
contrast to the popular demonstra'
tons which attended the completion
of the first successful cable across
the Atlantic in 1858. In that year
the news was heralded by the ring
ing of bells and the discharge of
cannon all over the land, and the
first messages that passed beneath
the oceanic deeps voiced the felici-
tations and the rejoicings of the
whole world at the great and daring
triumph which had been accom-
plished. Philadelphia Ledger.

Wife BEATING In EnoIand.

Henry Labouchere has been dis
cussing the matter of wife beating
in the London press. He says that
a strap is preferable to either the
hand or the poker, as, while it causes
much pain and has therefore good
corrective qualities, it leaves little
mark and is never likely to lead to
trouble with the coroneTs jury. The
whole moral effect of the correction
is lost, says he, if the police are
called in. Magistrates" he con-
cludes, ''to do them justice, are near
ly always kindly and sympathetic to
husbands who do their work with
reasonable amount of tact and dis
erection. They are not too particu
lar about a black eye or a little
blood or an occasional broken rib"

"" and the London smar. Women.

A new meaning has recently been
given in London to the simple little
personal pronoun a." "Smart" wo-
men nowadays never use the first
person plural when speaking Of
themselves and their husbands,
their plans, possessions and inten-
tons.
81 am going to Hamburg" means
II and my husband are going" 81
have taken a shooting box in Scot
land and shall entertain there" does
not mean a lady hostess alone. It
includes the husband. But he is
never mentioned nowadays. To ac-
knowledge him, mere man, as the
provider of yachting and trips
abroad, of motor cars, shooting
boxes and the country houses is to
completely destroy yourself socially.

Quite recently the Rev. ]. Ste

Care Of the Feet.

The feet should be bathed every
morning, or else every evening, for
few minutes in water from which
the chill has been taken, using soap
and a nail brush. When the feet
are taken out of the water and wip-
ed no moisture at all should be suf-
fered to remain between the toes.
Many have brought suffering upon
themselves by roughly and swiftly
drawing a crash towel between their
toes, whereas something soft should
be used. The nails should be trim.
med evenly so that they do not pro-
trude beyond the tips of the toes
otherwise pressure will be felt on
the upper part Of the toe.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
How 70 Wash Ribbons Without Injur.
ina Color or Fabric.


Ing Color or Fabric.
A housewife who has phenomenal
success in cleaning ribbons of all
kinds and characters washes them
in warm water, rubbing on them
white soap as she works, says Pitts
burg Dispatch. Then she rinses
them and irons them wet. AS soon
as they are dry she rubs them be-
tween her hands until they are soft
and then irons them again. They
usually issue from the ordeal like
new.
The same woman has her own
way Of washing crocheted shawls.
She puts the one to be cleaned into
a pillowcase, ties it up and swashea
it very thoroughly in hot soap suds
Then she rinses it until all evidences
of the soap are gone and hangs it
out, still in its bag, to dry. The day
for the work should be sunny and
breezy. The idea of washing the
wool in this way is to keep it from
drafts and changing temperature,
which are responsible for much
shrinking. 1t should not be wrung.
