BOER War
DEVASTATES
SUNDAY REST
Disturbed Zone Of Coney Show
Is Widespread and Havoc
Far-Reaching.

Down in Flatbush, Borough Park,
B~ensonhurst and the other places ly-
ing between Brooklyn and Coney ISL
and folk are wondering when New
York's Police and Health De
partments are going TO absorb some
sense Of proportion. The residents Of
these places live in them largely for
the Guiet they get most of the week
and which they think they are en-
titled to or Sundays. But since a spec
tacular show called the Boer War has
been operating at Brighton Beach the
peaceful su~burbanite has almost
wished himself and his cottage IN
Manchrrta.
The Boer War gives a show every hour
or so during Sunday afternoons and
evenings, that is made up entirely of
artillery and gun firing and bombs. You
don't ave to live within a mile OF it to
get the full benefit OF the din; If you
are as close as three or o miles the
awful racket reaches you and tears up
your afternoon snooze Of s Sunday n
vour sleep every night.
You cannot get the permission of the
city authorities to have a baseball
game on Sunday. 1t is both unholy
and a nuisance to those living near the
baseball grounds. Commissioners Nc
Adoo will not tolerate the noise n
confusion which he says a baseball
game makes on a day which should be
one of rest. But, alongside of a base
ball game. the Boer War is like the
battle OF Liaoyang to a shooting gal

OF M'AD0O
DemoraIizing to Police Force,
Declares the Former
"Best Chief"

Former Chief OF Police William S
pevery sat on the veranda of his fine
summer home at Far Rockaway yester-
day and said a few things "touch!n' on
and appertainin' to- the Police Depart
nent in general and Commissioner Nc
Adoo. Secretary Howell and the new
fads-uhe squads-in particular.
The ex-Ch!ef was u of sorts with
some of McAdoo's cops thai have

drives the famous victoria drawn by two
of the finest horses ever seen on the
island, for alleged violation OF the Far
Rockaway speed .aw.
What do you think CT them horses? p
asked Devery. Il bought them from
Alfred Vanderbilt. and they can kick
up from behind like real hounds. They
can go all right. But what do you
Think? McAdoo's man down here tried
TO pinch my coachman. What q hurrah
MsAdoo would have made If he had
pinched yours truly. But l wasn'S N
the carriage at the time. Just think of
it. It's three times they held up the
carriage with Mrs. Devery in it,
Nov speaking about the squads.
Well, If McAdoo would look after the
welfare of the people who pay his
salary by keeping the burglars and
hold-up men and the safe-crackers out
of town. he'd be doing a good thing.
But really II isn't McAdoo. It's Howell
that young fellow who isn't big enough
to look straight, whu Is running the
Police Department. When he once gets
a few drinks of Rhine wine Town his
belt, and a few landjagers n some

soME IMPRoHIkG TAX.

The discussion of the Rockefeller
money goes more or less merrily on.
Many Of the good gentlemen seem to
think that because money is good to
use if it is used right there is no need
of looking gift horses in the golden
mouth. Other good gentlemen seem to
think that it is good plan to take
bad money, use it well, and 'cuss'' the
giver with true Christian courtesy. A
few uncompromising ones don't want to
be found with the goods on them, and
so they don't try to convince them
selves and others that money is money,
and that the only bad thing about it
is a bad use of it,
It's a fine old talk and will do some
good. Meanwhile we do not notice that
any of the big and bad money makers
are showing thorough repentance by
stripping themselves completely of their
ili-gotten gains.

the plumage of birds in our hats, and
We may do and say what we can to
make this practice unpopular. If we
are men, We can refrain from killing
any feathered creature without some
good and urgent reason for doing so,
and We can stand firmly behind those
laws which are framed for the protec-
ton Of birds and their nests and eggs.
Whether we are women or men, We
can teach children the value of birds,
and show them that, looking at thesub-
ject even from a selfish point of view,
there is more knowledge and greater
pleasure to be gained from living birds
than from a score of dead ones. We
can teach them also that the collection
of birds eggs by small boys is as use
less as it is cruel and wasteful, and we
can help them to cultivate an interest
in their wild neighbors which will not
involve the pain or the destruction of
the helpless. If we are teachers, we
can supplement the work done by the
parents. We can put ourselves in touch
with the leaders of the Audubon move
ment, and see that our pupils are well
supplied with bird-charts, and with the
illustrated leaflets published from time
to time by the National Committee, and
obtain for them opportunities to at
tend illustrated lectures on birds. We
can also direct their attention to good
books on birds, to be found at the near
est public library, and We can arrange
matters so that personal observations
on birds may form the topics of es-
says. If there is a museum accessible,
we may be able to take our classes
there occasionally, and now and then
we may be able to arrange for walk
in the country, for the purpose of get
ting acquainted with the living birds.
Children are naturally fond of animals
as rule, but it is necessary to teach
them that consideration for an animal
is more important than the possession
of it.
At this season, the boys, and the
girls, too, sometimes may be taught
how to make simple bird-houses for the
bluebirds, wrens, tree-swallows and
martins, and it, will have good eff
feet on an entire community if these
houses are put up in the school grounds
and in the gardens and yards of the
pupils themselves. Then, at the begin
ming of the winter, the older pupils
may be organized into relief corps, to
feed the birds in the woods and fields;
and almost any one may enjoy the
pleasure of having birds about the
house during the winter months, if a
little care is taken to keep variety of
food where the. hungry little fellows
can come for it without fear of being

NAN rs HE ~,

Men, in this country at least, are fast
finding out of how little account they
are compared with women. They can
find out still faster by reading and
considering what Frances Swiney says
in the Westminster about '"The Evolu-
ton Of the Male" This is a specimen:
In fact, We may regard the male or
ganism as natures greatest experiment
in. the utilization of waste products.
The male factor throughout the whole
scheme of amphigonic reproduction of
kind is thus made of necessity depen-
dent on the female; first owes origin to
her, and returns again to her to escape
extinction. The daughter does not come
back, she progresses. Moreover, the
female is the standard of each species.
THE female is not only the primary
and original sex, but continues through
out as the main trunk In drawing
this logical conclusion we are brought
to face stranger flaw in the recogniz-.
ed analysis of sex. There is sex diff
ferentiation, but only one sex. the fe-
male. AS Professor Albrecht AYERS,
males are rudimentary females"
Maleness is therefore an intermediate
phase of development. This definition
has already been surmised and intui-
lively accepted in the popular designa-
ton of sex, where. from time immemo-
rial, the sex has signified that of the
female gender.
Maleness is apparently not entitled to
much pride, but perhaps it ought to be
satisfied that it is anything, if it is.
Surely it is something to be even a ru-
dimentary female.

riages would be effected under the best
conditions. For this part of the work
Sir Douglas Fox is the engineer, and
similar facilities would be provided at
Calais. The chief difficulty comes from
the large rise and fall of the tides, and
is to be overcome by the use Of big
electric elevators. On arrival the car
riages will be shunted on to the eleva-
tor, and when they have reached the
appropriate level they will be hauled on
board the boat over a short movable
bridge by means of electrical windlass-
es, the whole operation requiring only
four minutes. For the sea passage four
vessels are to be provided in the first
instance, Sir William White being the
naval architect. OF these two, devoted
to passenger service alone, are to be
turbine steamers with speed of twen-
ty-two or twenty-three knots, and two
cargo-boats of about thirteen knots.
The passenger boats are to be, in eff
feet, moving stations; the rails on
which the carriages will stand are to be
completely covered in, and there is to
be full allowance of saloons. refresh
ment rooms, ETC., for the convenience
of passengers.
