lead pencil, fired from the barrel OF a pistol,
may cause the death of Bessie Ang. 10
years old, who is now in a critical condi-
ton at q hospital. She was playing with
john Adams, ID years old, when the latter
stuck the pencil into the barrel of the
pistol, which was loaded with blank cart
ridges, and fired it at the girl. The pencil
entered her head and passed almost
through. Physicians are not able to ascer-
tain whether it touched the brain.

These items may be taken as fairly
representative and fairly indicative. In
some cases there has been an increase
which Is out Of all proportion to changes
made in the tariff by the Dingley law.
In other cases, clearly subject to tariff
influences, there has been actual and
sometimes large reduction. Portland
cement is, on anything like it's present
scale, a new industry in this country.
Although We are using vastly more than
we did a decade ago, our imports are
about one-half what they then were,
and the price, instead Of being increased
by the tariff. is less than it used to be.
Lime shows little change. Nails and
screws are cheaper. Bricks, which We
would not and could not import in any
case, are dearer, not because the crude
clay is worth more, but because brick
makers are getting higher wages than
formerly. So might the whole list be
analysed with similar results.
Most Of the members Of the building
and loan associations are Of the wage
earning class The only remedy for
their complaint Of high prices Is re-
duction Of their own wages. d

Tho Womans La Toilette League is
bipartisan. It appeals to Repub-
licans, Democrats Prohibitionists. So
cialists, Social Democrats. It is based
on the theory that the man Of strong
home life Is the right man to have as
ruler Of the nation.
Women are or are supposed to be con-
servative. Governor La FoLLE1rE has
the radical support already. II the
women take him up, who can stand
against him? With sweet but irresistible
compulsion they will lead every voter
to tho polls and make him plump his
ballot for LA TOILETTE, the man Of
strong home life and strong railroad
regulat ion. Even railroad presidents
whom the strong ruler would like to

The Brave Pickets.

Three distinguished members Of a
labor unions entertainment committee
fell upon two presumptuous workers
late Saturday in Fifty-ninth street near
Second avenue, and administered to
them sound beating. The unfortunate
victims Of the assault were taken by
surprise, and had little opportunity to
defend themselves. Their cries for help
attracted a policeman, and when he
appeared the members Of the enter
tainment committee fed In different
directions. One Of them was captured
afterward hiding in q closet.
A trivial incident, but illuminating.
Three bold defenders Of the right to
prevent other men from working were
brave enough to sneak up behind two
transporting men and attack them from
the rear, but when the solitary police
man appeared they cut and ran. Al
though they were armed with ten inch
bolts they wanted no encounter with the
locust Of the police department, nor did
they yearn for contest in which tho
number Of their opponents would be equal
to their own. Such are some Of the valor-

The declaration OF the Democrats Of
Chicopee who numbered $50 at last years
election, that they are unalterably COM
mitted to the candidacy Of the gallant
MILES for Governor on the Democratic
ticket this year will not be without In
fuence on contemporary Massachusetts
politics.
The Democrats OF Chicopee are the Spar
tans Of the Democratic fighting band in
Massachusetts,. Disaster may overpower
their brethren in Dennis, Mashpee and
Acushnet. Seekonk, Shutesbury, Brim-
field, Wilbraham, Dracut, Pepperell Malta
poisett. Gay Head and Cottage City may
break, waver and even scatter under politi-
cal fire, but the Democrats Of Chicopee
invariably stand firm; and when they have
declared for candidate his nomination
Is nearer certain than II he carried every
one Of the Boston primaries by torrential
majority of votes.
If, az is reported, -M1LEs is hurrying
home,' his journey must be both acceler-
ated and exhilarated by the knowledge that
Chicopee has spoken.

. TO the EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sty. In the daily
reading OF your paper constantly notice accounts
Of accidents. many OF them resulting fatally,
caused by collisions Of IRE engines with street cars
and wagons. which might be avoided, 1t seems 70
me, by adopting another system OF nehting Ares
In the congested districts OF New York and other
large cities.
The nre engine as movable pumping apparatus
for forcing water through the hose with greater
degree OF pressure than can DO obtained from the
water mains themselves was and 10 an admirable
and adequate means for the extinction Of area,
and no doubt Will always DO ~ used. at least In
the smaller cities and towns OF the country.
But u strikes me that In Wow OF the danger and
risk nun by hremen and others In the reokcss dash
through crowded streets. some safer method OF
accomplishing tho same results could be devised,
and 70 that end ! humbly venture 10 suggest the
following plan.
It 10 we'll known that 10 the business districts
Of large cites all hotels. once and public
buildings many apartment houses and other sim.
liar consumers OF power for steam heating. Gle
vators. electricity and the like. maintain their own
power plsnts, and In place like. Now York these
establishments are 70 numerous that u appears 10
me that v the authorities wero 70 compel each of
them 70 install high pressure pumping machinery
Tor this installation could be ~ public expense,
permanently connected with the water nains for
fre use exclusively. II would not only serve the
purpose OF protecting themselves and surround
ing buildings, but would do away with tho ncces-
sity OF movable IRE engines and the danger caused
By their wild career through crowded thorough
fares.
Possibly what have above suggested and
orudeiy expressed has been thought Of before this
time but a. ! have never seen the matter dis
cussed and a. II contains . germ OF an idea, have
written this letter with the Wow Of minimisins o.

CURLING tho ynru1y Chauffeur.

The police records show that many
automobile accidents occur to cars
which are occupied, not by their owners.
but by the machinists employed to
operate them, who, when not engaged
in the work they are paid to do, use
the vehicles entrusted to their care for
their own recreation and amusement
The proprietor Of touring car being
out of town or abed, his chauffeur or
ganizes a party Of his own friends and
takes them for an outing. II all goes

Of the extra miles run by it, II an acci-
dent happens, the chauffeur loses his
Job, only to obtain another as good, and
the whole story is told.
The accident Saturday morning in
which was smashed an automobile owned
by the city was Of this kind. Recently
two young women who were injured
in an accident in Tho Bronx learned
only after they we're in tho hospital
that their host was not the son Of the
automobiles owner. but merely his
hired man. A few months ago three
persons were killed in an accident which
demolished machine whose proprietor
had gone to New Jersey for q visit after
giving specific instructions that his car
was not to be taken out until his return.
