 Everybody's, threatents to enter the broad domain of fiction. Nay, more MT. Lawson says that he WILL do so, with the purpose of creating future novels. There be certain finaneiers who once endeayored to convey the impress sion that MT. Lawson never wrote any thing but fiction, tho MT. Lawson thinks otherwise Boston's smart set seems to have the ague. and it is said the attack was directly due to a report that MT. Lawson would pull the old muck rake over high life in The Hub. Such dis closures would undoubtedly make a mint of money for MT Lawson and his pub fisher. May we hope for something soon, MT. Lawson, that young people should not read?

4 FLUSTERED 20 UNDER.

Asbury Park, New Jersey. is in the public eye a good deal, and now it is in 1t again. Founder Bradley has. it appears. enjoyed all these years nom- inal assessment on the large property holdings that he has acquired by the bounty of the State and the patronage of the people. MT. Bradley obtained the grant of all the shore front at As bury Park for a trtfing sum. and it made him a very wealthy man. The new tax law disclosed the real value of the property he still retains at the park after the sale of large property interests to the municipality and to pri- vate parties. His assessment under the old law was $130,O0O. It is now raised to nearly million dollars, which is said to be below the actual value.
 Of course Brother Bradley is mad, but he isn't getting much sympathy. This is the way the Newark Advertiser looks at him: MT. Bradley has figured as a philanthropist to some extent, but when it comes to paying taxes on an equality with his neighbors he becomes indignant. Ut is not everybody that owns a million dollars of well paying property to pay taxes on, but the Founder does not look at it that way and he forgets the public bounty that made him rich. There could not be a better vindication of the new tax law than Founder Bradley's selfish rage against it because he must now pay his just share of the taxes.

 voices rise and fall We aimed at speech like Martha's, and

 I am on the land; cannot see your glances, l cannot

 are on the sea. You crossed the great Atlantic to view

HEiP ron WIDoWERS.

Many people in this troubled world need help, and one of them is the poor man who is left, by the death of his wife, with small children to look after Often he gets help of the, right kind and often he does not, The city of Glasgow, which has tackled many prob lems, has tackled this one. Glasgow has sought to solve the problem of the widower who desires to keep his fam fly together under his own supervision, and it is said that London, encouraged by the success of tho Scotch city dur ing the past ten years, is about to try a similar plan. The Glasgow home for widowers is a municipal enterprise, and is worked in connection with the corporation lodging houses, The build ing is a large one with about 160 bed rooms, a monster kitchen, a great din ing hall, recreation rooms for adults and children, reading room, gymnasium and large playground. It is in reality home for respectable men of indus trious habits, who, in order to have their children properly brought up are willing to submit to formal discipline. Each sleeping room is arranged to &C., commodate one adult and three ehil- dren, and it is noticeable fact that most of the widowers have two or more children. The rate per room to men k about S7 cents a week; for father with one child about $1,05; for q father with two children, $12o, and there i' a charge of about 16 cents for each ad ditional child quartered in a separate dormitory. The charges for board are on the restaurant principle, averaging about 10 cents a meal for adults ant about 45 cents a week for one child.
 This seems to meet a real need. it works well in Glasgow why not il other places?

DONATION DAT.

To-day is Donation Day for the New Haven orphan Asylum, and though there has been a change in the way of utilizing it there has been no change in the condition of being a public orphan. That condition is just as needy ard pitiable as ever. and there fore the appeal made to the kind people of New Haven should be as generously responded to as ever. There will be no collectors going about the city to-day, and givers are requested to send their donations to the treasurer, Miss Joseph inc S. Newton, 23S Prospect street, or to the asylum. Give freely. There are signs of hard winter. and it is al- ways pretty cold world for public orphans

An o1n rHrnnr AssAI1En.

If the late pr. Dibble of New Haven

 in some remarks by Dr. Hirshberg of Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Hirsh-
 berg rises and says that. foul air which has for it's accepted meaning air heavy with the gases and odors of decay--is not. in itself poisonous. or even unheaHhful. Unless it contains such large proportion of foreign gases that it is noticeably lacking in oxygen, it's chief effect is psychic. Some persons, in brief, cannot abide a stench. It sets their nerves on edge and excltes their imaginations and the result is that they grow pallid and, at times, seasick. And Dr. Hirshberg adds: Thus, indirectly, it may weaken them and make them an easy prey to wandering microbes. But of itself, it produces little direct harm Medical students, breathing the unspeakable gases and odors of the dissecting room
 manage to eat vast dinners and grow fat. Tanners, garbage men, workers in fertilizer factories and ether per. sons who are habitually surrounded by hair-raising aromas are ordinarily jus as healthy as other folk. That foul ali is usually laden with rather nor, ! germs and germ bearing insects thar l air which seems (to the nose) to b, pure is beside the point. Experienc,

The Mississippi Board of Education has just dealt with a color question. There is an Italian colony in Bolivar county, and there are children of school age therein, and their faces are swarthy. The trustees of the Shelby school district officially informed the county superintendent that the pres- euce of these children in the school room was making trouble; parents of white children objected to it as violat- ing the color line. The county superin- tendent passed the matter up to the State board, which is composed of the secretary of state, Che attorney-general and the State superintendent, These gentlemen have now decided that the small Italians are not 'colored' chil- dren within the meaning and intent ol the Mississippi statute.

CLAIM RACING
WILL CONTINUE
H0RSEMEN HAVE NOT GIVEN
UP HOPE
Rumor Is Persistent That the City
Council May Not Prevent
Sport on the Local
Track

A persistent though by no means dis
creditable rumor was going the rounds
yesterday afternoon that Ascot park
racing would not only open Thanksgiv-
ing day. but continue for major por-
tion of the three months usually allot-
ted 10 the local track schedule.
Although councilmen in general deny
that they know anything pertaining to
what may develop, those In close touch
with the Los Angeles Jockey club were
strong in their assertions that beyond a
doubt racing would continue for some
time at least on the Ascot course.
Assistant City Attorney Robertson
was questioned regarding the situation,
but gave out nothing definite beyond
stating that the election canvass by
both council and supervisors would be
necessary before the result could be filed
with the secretary of state. The coun-
Gil will meet Monday, at which time
something may be made known relative
to the outcome.
Mr.. Robertson was asked whether
anything could be done toward restrain
ing pool selling before the Thanksgiv-
ing day opening, and gave as his opin-
ion that until racing had commenced
nothing would be in order pertaining to
prohibition of pool selling.
1t is thought by many who have fol-
lowed the order of events since the an
nexation election that some loophole
may be found whereby the coming sea-
son at Ascot will not be interfered with
to a material extent.
