DR.. Punch's Proverbial Philosophy

Mr.. Punch's Proverbial Philosophy.
From London Punch.
How much better it is to get wisdom
than gold-and how much easier.
Happy is the man who is admired and
praised by his fellows-for he is dead.
The poor in heart are slow to credit cal
umnies, but they sometimes like to hear
about them
4 liberal education is considered the
best dowry, but 9l0, 900 year is still
rather liked.
The magic of first love is that it goes SC
soon and is remembered 50 long.
The consciousness of duty performed
gives us music at midnight, and so, also,
does the man who lives next door.
Nosce tie ipsum, but don tell every
body the whole truth about the thing you
know.
If YOU insist on telling the truth you
may probably shame the devil, but you
won be considered CHEEKY in society.
Novelty is an essential attribute of tbs
beautiful-especially novelty in hats.
\ good reputation is fair estate, bu
there are others on which it is easier to &c
a mortgage.
Virtue alone is powerful, but in comb
nation with American dollars she is irwin
chile, and can even marry duke.
\ good life keeps off wrinkles, but
good wrinkle sometimes keeps off lot 0
| trouble
DO good and care not to whom-no on,
will notice it,
\ man may be Judged by the eompa
/ nies he promotes.

Flower Vandals.

The appeal of the school authorities to
the police to put stop if possible to the
depredations upon the school gardens which
have lately occurred calls attention to
particularly mean kind of vandalism from
which the residents of this city suffer each
year. There is apparently a form of ma
licious mischief which delights in the abso-
Lutte destruction of flowers to no practical
end From one school recently was report
ed case of ruthless work which passes
understanding. Some miscreant, who could
not possibly have been animated by a de-
sire for personal revenge, pulled up a NUM-
Der of blooming bulbs from the little gar
den formed by the youngsters with infinite
pains and flung them to the ground to
die. The flowers were not even carried
away. No one was benefited. 1t was a
case of wanton waste.
The school gardens of this city are
new growth and have inspired a nature
love in the pupils which many of them
have never before experienced. The be-
ginnings are small but encouraging The
facilities are meager but increasing. II
the vandals will cease their visitatons or
the police succeed in arresting a few so
that they may be properly punished the
children will be certain to continue their
good work another season, with better re-
suits, and again in the years to come they
will approach this task eagerly, to the end
that Washington's schools, from being as
at present drearily devoid of tasteful sur
roundings, will be centers of rare beauty.
But the vandalism is not confined to the
school gardens Private residences suffer
equally, in the degree that their yards are
cultivated. The flower thieves cut and pull
and destroy without discrimination. 1t is
discouraging to the householder to labor
patiently with stubborn soil only to have
the fruits of his toll ruined in night.
The orders given to the police to watch
the school yards should apply equally to
all other places where efforts have been
made to contribute to the attractiveness or
the city.

The Convention Hall Project.

The committee of citizens named yester
day by Commissioner West to consider the
feasibility of organizing a corporation to
erect great convention hall in Washing
ton is of character to insure the thor
ough examination of the matter from every
point of view. AS the case stands, this en-
terprise is to be of a strictly private nature,
a business venture. The question of
whether it will pay in the sense of justify
ing the investment of a half a million dol
lars is of prime Importance, as long as it
remains of this character. There is, how
ever, to a great extent an element of civic
pride involved. making it reasonably as
sured that the citizens who engage in the
enterprise, If it is undertaken, will not re-
gard it as they would the majority of other
investments. They VIII necessarily feel
that the benefits 10 be derived by the capt.
tai from the possession of a great assem-
bly, hall must stand in lieu of some measure
Of individual profits.
The question to be answered by the COM
Inittee now roughly organized which is to
meet next Monday evening, relates to the
possibility of enlisting enough money to
make practicable the construction of the
building by private means on privately
purchased ground. How much will it cost?
How large capital stock will be required
to cover all the expenses? What is to be
the form of the corporate organization?
What guarantees can be given to investors?
What is the prospect of a sufficient use TO
meet expenses and interest? How far
would the existence of such a hall encour-
age the choice of Washington as a perma
nent meeting place by national organiza-
tions which are now discouraged from COM
ing on account of a lack of facilities?
This is an important matter in the de-
velopment of the District, and it's import
ance grows IN proportion the belief OBJ
tains that the national government Will
not supply the lack which this project is
proposed to meet.

The "Stocking Fund"

insurance Commissioner Hendricks of
New York announces the purpose to go to
the bottom of the troubles of the Equitable
Life. 1t is an excellent resolution and he
should keep 1T to the letter The affairs of
this company are of national concern It's
SIX hundred thousand policy holders are
scattered all over the United States, and
IN several of the states there are manifes-
tatlons or uneasiness by them Mr.. Hen
bricks therefore is more than state agent
In this business. He has sort Of national
uuty 10 perform, and men everywhere are
looking to him to perform 1t thoroughly
Nor will the details be of interest alone
to the patrons of the Equitable. 1t is a
day OF uneasinesS in other than insurance
circles. Investors in various kinds of Sc
curities. depositors in banks and men with
money inaugurating business enterprises
in new territory are all rendered anxious
by recent disclosures in the world of cap
ital. There are men charged under oath
with the management of hundreds of mil
lions accusing one another of the gravest
offenses; there are bank officers confessing
to the misappropriation of millions Of
money intrusted to their care, and yonder
are men soliciting business by offers but
little short of those of confidence men.
Tricks and pitfalls are numerous and it is
high time to clear the path.
The growth of the stocking fund of
country is not good sign. Money should
be kept in circulation should grow by use.
Insurance companies are worthy institu-
tions. Banks are essential to the proper
transaction of business. Capital is essen
tial to the development of new enterprises.
But the stocking fund in the United
States will grow unless greater safeguards
of some kind are thrown around money
intrusted to others for use and keeping.
1t is easy enough to lecture people on the
subject of panics; to adju:e them not to
lose their senses over mere reports against
institutions where they have investments.
But where persons savings are involved.
even in mere report he or she may be
depended upon to manifest the promptest
and most energetic concern. There is nc
spectacle better entitled to sympathy than
that of a long line of men and women
struggling to reach the paying teller of an
institution whose affairs have been brought
under the influence of adverse rumor, or
open charges, of rascally management.
In every case, then, where wrongdoing
is alleged or confessed in institutions han
ding the money of others the fullest par
ticulars should be laid before the public.
