 From all accounts Brooklyn is full of Jack the Keepers and as a re- sult a person can't be sure when one of the jokers Is outside the window. The district should organize vigil lance committee, whose duty it would be to keep an eye around for an hour or two after dark and give Jack a few good kicks the first time he was caught poking his nose up to win dow. What do you think of the son of Jack the Peeper calling upon a woman and threatening to make things interesting for her if she did not let the old man of easy? In one sense it is good enough for people so long as they submit to it. The po- lice should know all about this and the peeper's son should be escorted into court and asked to explain his conduct
 At the meeting of the Brooklyn Improvement society last night the price of ice was discussed. The Wa terbury Ice corporation got its bumps and from what was said last night it looks as if it deserved them. This corporation controls the supply of ice in this city and it has raised the price of ice this year until it is about three times what 1t was last year. There seems to be no reason for this as the Waterbury Ice cor poration has a contract with the Hygeia Go to supply it with artificial ice. This contract has not expired, therefore although the ice corpora tion is not paying one cent more for its ice this year than last, it is charg- ing the people three times as much Until lately you could buy ice at the Hygeia plant much cheaper than from the company's wagons, if you carted 1t away yourself, but they have raised the price so that now 1t is just as cheap to purchase it from the wagons. It was decided at the meeting to ask the city to apply for a charter to sell ice. The city could collect enough Ice from It's reservoirs during the winter or 1t could build a plant like the Hygeia and sell ice to the people at much cheaper price than they are paying at present. Hartford and New Britain have de- cided to try this plan and the society hopes this city will fall in line. Al committee was also appointed to see if they could not hustle along the Clark street extension.
