 -One of the men employed in Hen " Beauregard's market on Bank street yesterday severely cut his hand while carving a flank of beef.
 Edward Keefe, the singer, who works in Madden's pool room, is nurs- ing a very painful hand to-day and Is also getting the laugh from the per sons who are wise as to how he receiv- ed the burn Yesterday morning as there was not much doing in the store, he sat down by the stove and in a short time was in the land of dreams. While lost in slumber, someone en- tered the place and made considerable noise and Edward was awakened sud denly, As he was rubbing the sleep out of his eyes he laid his hand on the hor stove and before he had taken it off the member was severely burned. The hand is now bandaged, but the owner is very reticent when asked how the hand was injured.
 Mrs James Hennessy. about 70 years of age, residing on Lafayette street, is at the Waterbury hospirai suffering from broken leg caused by the pranks of some bOthersOme young fellows who of late have been making life miserable for the woman in the vicinity of her home. On Monday afternoon these boys, several of whose names are known. were destroying the fence in the rear of the old lady's property on Lafayette street, and when slfe went out to have them de- sist one of them threw a long piece of wood at her. Mrs Hennessu is rather feeble and stumbled over the stick and fell so heavily that she broke her leg. She was carried into her house and Dr Russell was called. He reduced the fracture and the woman was later removed to the hospital She has had trouble with the boys before and al- most every time she appears on the street they proceed to annoy her in order that she will chase them. It is hoped by the Brooklyn residents that warrants will be issued for the arresr Of these young miscreants and that they will get what they deserve.

OPEN MEETINGS
Not Known How the New Boards
 Will Look on Reporters.

The Thoms boards have not yet gone far enough to give the reporters an opportunity to decide whether they
 will eye them as intruders and shut the doors against them or fling things
 wide open and let them see for them selves. This is something in which the public is more interested than some think, for probably more than ninety per cent of the people have no means of getting line on what takes place in city meetings except through the papers. Men are paid literally for collecting the news and if they are not allowed to be present at sessions of the boards and report the proceed ings correctly, they are bound to get the proceedings in some shape. As the lawyer said they have to do some. thing for their money If they arc denied the right to hear and see for themselves, then men whose dOing> they report have no business making fuss if they find themselves mis- represented. No reporter is competent to jot down the minutes of meeting accurately when he isn't there. It takes good man to do that and be right on deck all the time.
 To be sure some of the Elton boards kept the doors open and these have no fault to find with how the papers used them. but the fellows wio squinted at the reporters through tEs keyhole consider them "a contemptibla set" This does the boys q great in justice. No public man has a right to rail at the papers unless they misrepre- sent him, and this is something they can't help doing if he puts their re- presentatives in position where they have to go to this one and that to get information that cannot be picked up to good advantage second hand. Some say the secret meeting is a good thing. It is certain that many approved the plan during the past two years, but even so, is is safe to predict that the vast majority of citizens believe that such meetings should be open to the press and through the press to the public. In this way if d reporter neglects to do his work we'll he de- serves to be censured, and if he got one call, backed up with proof of h'v negligence, that would do him for tho rest of his time on reputable paper for such papers don't pay men fo, sport.

To Offset the Strike.

The story is that a bill has already
been drawn and will be presented al
an early date providing that the duty
on coal be removed for period OF
one year from April 1 next in the
event of a general strike among the
coal miners 1t is further said thai
President Roosevelt favors the meas
ure, but that he desires it to be with
held until all other efforts to settle
the coal difficulty fail
The report is interesting as pre-
senting one practical means OF great
ly lessening the calamitous effect o.
the proposed strike Anthracite Goa
is free, fact which was regretted ir
many quarters at the time of the
strike in that district, as otherwise
it might have been possible to force
the operators-in that case seeming
ly the party to the controversy mos
disregardful of public interest-tc
come to terms with their employees
On bituminous coal, however, there
is duty of 67 cents ton, making
its importation entirely Improbable
Unlike anthracite, there is an abun-
dant supply, which with the removal
of the duty, would come at once into
the market and serve to prevent the
general paralysis of business sure to
follow closing down of the mines
in this country.

The Bible and Mathematics.

In The News of Thursday it was
announced that the faculty of De-
Pauw University had decided to drop
the Bible and mathematics from the
scheme of required study. The only
required work hereafter will be lang
rage, science and rhetoric The the
ory seems to have been that the
course was too hard for the young
men and women. Under the new
rule, as we understand it, the fresh
men will have TO carry only three
studies, instead of five, as heretofore
We shall not discuss this case in its
details, for we have not the details.
But speaking broadly we should say
that if there are two things which
ought specially to be required they
are the Bible and mathematics. The
former is most important, in view of
the practical DISAPPEARANCE of the clas-
sizes from our college curricula. The
Bible is, if it is nothing else, clas-
sic No man can know anything of
English literature that is not familiar
with the Bible 1t should, as we think,
be studied, and studied hard.
But even those who differ with us
on this proposition will marvel to
learn that mathematics is not TO be
required Of the DePauw students.
There is no more valuable disciplin-
airy study With Greek and Latin it
used to be considered as the basis
for all true culture Greek and Lat
in have all but disappeared, and now
it seems that mathematics is to fol-
low them. The idea that a young
person can graduate from our univer-
sites knowing no more of mathemat-
ics than he gets in the pubic schools
seems to us, to speak frankly, quite
absurd. And to graduate a student
who has studied only language,
science and rhetoric seems to us to
be-a-agreat mistake.-lndiaaapelss

Saving Human Life.

There were nearly 1000 fewer
deaths in Indiana in 1905 than in 1904,
the figures for the respective years
being 35.252 and 1920. Chicago re-
ports a lower death rate for 1905 than
for any recent year, the rate being
lower than in any other large city in
the country. In New York, too, the
number of deaths last year was less
than that of the years before. Sew
eral other cities and States report the
same satisfactory condition. Gradu-
ally medical science and a study OF
the laws of hygiene are more success
fully combating the evils that come
with increasing population and the
urban congestion When the death
rate of city like Chicago can be
reduced to an equality with that OF
the average small town doctors and
health teachers have scored notable
triumph.
