WHISTLES TOO NOISY.
WOMAN PHILANTHROPIST WOULD
PREVENT UNNECESSARY DIS.
TURBANCE OF SICK.
Mrs. Isaac Z. Rice, a Wealthy New
Yorker, States that Half of the
Vast Mabbub Raised by Boat
Whistles is Useless.


Mrs. Isaac L. Rice is one of the
few rich and influential women of
New York who is constantly looking
after the needs and comfort of those
less fortunate in the awarding OF
the worlds goods than herself.
Mrs. Rice is a philanthropic woman
who has never permitted her wealth
and comfortable surroundings to
blind her to the want and suffering
around her and. has recently been
making a strong effort to have at
least one nuisance abated-a nuisance
in one ems and a menace to many
lives.
This is the constant and, as Mrs.
Rice declares, the unnecessary blow
ing Of whistles and signals in New
York harbor. Night and day these
ear splitting whistles and sirens can
be heard for a distance of thirteen
and a half miles over the city and
through careful investigation Mrs.
Rice has found that hundreds of in
valids in hospitals and nervous wo-
men in homes are driven almost to
distraction.
From her palatial home in New
York's most exclusive resident section
Riverside Drive-Mrs. Rice has
gone forth to investigate this and
see if there were not some means by
which the sufferings of the poor ano
invalid people might be relieved.
She first took her case to the au-
thoritieS in New York who told her
any remedial were without
their jurisdiction and that she must
make an appeal to Washington.
Leaving her handsome home in
New York Mrs. Rice went to Washing
ton and laid the matter before the
Department of Commerce and Labor.
She told the officials of the depart
ment of the $4,000 sick people in
New York whose suffering was made
two fold by this unnecessary noise;
she told how nervous men and ONE
were unable to get sleep because of
the continual, piercing shrieks of the
river boats and she told them, too,
how river men themselves had said
that so many unnecessary signals in
duced collisions.
Mrs. Rice's fight was not against
the lawful signals but against the In
Vulnerable blasts hat were sent out
as particular meanings to river men
and their crews. ScowS coming up
the river would begin blowing two
miles down and never cease until they
reached their wharves. This was a
warning to their crews to make ready
to get out.
For weeks and weeks Mrs. Rice
worked to have all but necessary sig

husband, she was the keenest possible
Liberal politician, though the daughter
of an old Tory squire, Major S. r. Wild
drington (whose ancestor is men
toned in the ballad of Chevy
Chase) and her personal popularity in
the Border Country was responsible for
much of its liberalism. For Sir Ed
ward she worked necessarily and bril-
liantly, from his first political cam
paign, two months after his marriage
in 1885, down to the last battle, from
whose triumph she had been so trag'
ically called away. r.,

Atlanta is the Chicago of the South,

way and tell you that Chicago is the
Atlanta of the Middle West. In either
case, the point remains the same. And
the point is that Atlanta is full of new
