Special Correspondence of The Herald.
NEW YORK, June 23.-Every woman
in town feels that she has got to wear
elbow sleeves. A blanket sentence ap-
pears to have been imposed upon all
the women in town and there is no
escape from its provisions. Lean
women, fat women, hardWorking
women and women of infinite leisure
have all adopted the same style of
costume and in consequence there are
some million or so elbows shamelessly
exposed to the world. that should be
covered beyond investigation. And
such elbowSI One would lot imagine
there were so many ugly elbows in the
world. Many things have been hidden
from us) before that we could never
have suspected had 1t not been for the
new fashion in sleeves for women. 1t
is true that there are elbows like that
of Katisha, that one might gaze upon
with pleasurable emotions, but in the
main the elboy ! one sees should be
kept covered by city ordinance,
Where there is to be seen one elbow,
plump, dainty and dimpled, there are
forty hard, corneous and like unto vol
canic Stag in texture and complexion.

Town "opens Wide"
The tip has gone out in New York
that everything is all right, and that
everybody meaning the gambling
houses-is opening up. There is said to
be no longer any danger c raids or
interference. 1t will take a little time
to get back the volume of play that the
houses formerly enjoyed; but as mat
ter of fact there never was time when
a man with money could not get action
at faro or any other game in New York
For few weeks after the passage of
the Bowling law the game keepers We're
very quiet and would have nothing to
do with anyone Mess t. " had known
the man for long time. Then they
usually escorted the player to a hotel,
rented a room, took a folding Layout"
from a gripsack and opened up for
business. That rort o. thing pals and
1t did not last long. Now it is differ
ent. The fright people, are in control
and most of .he old houses and some
new ones are )ing good business.
There are no. so many poolrooms In
town as there formerly We're. If Mr..
Belmont had not gone to extreme meas
ures in cutting off information from
the track, rooms would undoubtedly
blossom all along Broadway as they
did when Butch Thompson had the
famous ''White Elephant" and one
half of his winnings went to the police
department. New York is now almost |
as wide OPEN as 1t ever was. Most
everything goes.

money-and he doesn't care Who knows
it. In a personal now running in one

Rowdies Are Supreme
One of the problems which the
police of Greater New York have as
yet been unable to solve has been the
handling and suppression of rowdyism
on IL" subway and suburban trains
on Sundays. The young toughs who
terrorize those lines are a nocturnal
phenomenon, an affliction of the return
tide of holiday travel. Those same
shouting, singing, cursing and fighting
hoodlums go forth to the picnic
grounds, outlying parks and beaches
Sunday mornings with some semblance
Of decorum. Instead of affording a
harmless outlet to their deviltry day
in the country seems to give it wire
edge. 1t impeaches the theory that
Sunday games make for human bet
terment What causes the peaceful,
holiday-making husband and father
and his defenseless womankind to OBJ
ject is the fact that the rowdies come
back from their pleasure haunts by
common conveyance. They have trans
ferred the customary scenes of
chowder from specially chartered eX-
cursion steamers and barges to. cars
and ferries patronized by the public.
Scores of arrests have been made dur
ing the past few Sundays, but appar-
entity without effect. The various civic
bodies of the city threaten to take up
the work and to suppress the disorderly
ones. Their task will be great one.

The Great White Way

The Great White Way
! Strangers, even native New Workers.
never cease to wonder concerning the
glory of the Great White Way that
section of Broadway which tracts SO
many thousands of people by day and
by night. This white light district is
the city's great night attraction. and no
wonder, for it brightens the sky of a
| dark night so that it may lie seen re-
| fiected from the clouds from elevated
points hundreds of miles away. This
| great light comes from the equivalent
of 7SO,520 candles, the result of the
throbbing energv of dynamos that burst
into light In S6,990 lamps along both
sides of the street. These globes are
often merely light, but more often form
words that tell stories of what the
owners of the tens of thousands of eyes
that look on them are seeking From
curb to roof, held above the highest
chimneys, are these tories of goods
that appeal to ppetites and of oppor-
tunities for pleasure that offer relaxa-
ton to work-a-day mortals It is esti-
mated that the clectri, signs which ap-
pear on this portion of New York rep-

Test for Beggars
The officials of New York are deatfi
on fake beggars and bogus cripples-,
If stranger is found begging or soli-
citing aims here he is put to the test
to prove that he is really in need of aid
and unable to help himself, The Old
scheme of playing deaf and dumb has
proved Waterloo for more than one
ambitious person who has found him
self too strong to work. There has been
provided a powerful electric battery al:
each of the several hospitals and when
mute" is found asking for aid he is
taken to the hospital and the Juice
is turned on. If the victim goes the
limit without "hollering" he is turned
loose and permitted to continue his
business of living without working,
But during the past week there have
been five fake" mutes discovered
through the use of the electric battery,
and these are all doing time on the is
land now.
German Band and Irish
1t would not be surprising were there
a riot call from Shanley's at any time.
All the materials for a fine old Donny-
brook fair demonstration are there and
1t needs only somebody to start some-
thing in order to set the ball a-rolling.
When the riot does happen the ambu-
lance surgeons will be taking German
musicians out of the place In a fashion
&c remind one Of a theater catastrophe.
The danger lies I'm the fact that the
leader of the German band has FASH
ioned melody which, while soothing to
the ear, Is at the same time dangerous.
Most OF the Stanley walters are Irish
and they do not object to that portiOfr
of the melody which includes '"rho

she lifted the pail and they took drinks
from it-all four of them-by turns.
Puritanism is out of date, yet the aver
age American does not like the thought
of a child going into a saloon and
learning to tipple beer on the street.
Also there is the physical result from
this. The manager of downtown nur-
sery told me that for long time she
was troubled by one of her boys be-
cause he didn't grow. He was 13 and no
bigger than a child of 7. Finally an
other child who, came from the same
tenement offered an explanation: lotto

is only one of the happenings that have
prompted some of the better class of
citizens to rise against the selling of
beer and liquor to children. The age
limit in New York state is Is, and to
sell to children under that age is a mis-
demeanor. Wholesale prosecutions are
threatened.

West Indian Servants

solution of New Yorks servant prob

is most perplexing. These negroes with
an English accent that is the envy of
many people they Serve have, as a rule,
more education and ambition in that
line than the ordinary American negro.
They hold themselves rather apart
from the rest of the serving class and
cling to their own amusements The

a fine game of cricket, all Of the play

is their favorite pastime, and there are
several crack cricket teams here, the |

Oriental Decorations
The taste for oriental decorations has
recently resulted in the importation of
Japanese flower stands of a kind never
seen here before. These consist of tiny
rings of metal about half an inch high,
gathered in groups of various sizes.
They are put in a bowl of water. each
ring holding one stalk of a flower
which must naturally be lily, peony,
jonquil or some blossom with a strong
stem. These flower holders are some
times made in fantastic forms, such as
turtles or fish. They explain the ar
rangement of flowers which in the Jap
anese pictures seem to be growing up
directly from the middle of the bowls.

affiliated companies have a secret trade
agreement by which they control the pro-
duction and sale of oil and gas

dissolution OF the illegal agreement. In

In the petition Il Is alleged that the
production of oil was reduced for the pur-
pose of increasing the price to the con-
sumers. 1t is set up that this reduction
amounts to so per cent. while the price
of gas to the consuming public increased
100 per cent. Reference to the alleged
trade pact is sensational enough that the
charge is made that the companies named
as defendants have bound themselves moi
TO sell or transport oil or gas below a GER

Queries are directed in the petition &c
the railroad companies' presidents asking
them whether rebates are given directly

whether the oil concerns have not beer
