The smallest hero happened to be a heroine. and
the star Of the occasion She was Miss Dolly
Stevenson, of Gravesend Bay. and only nine years
old. She received a bronze medal for saving life,
with some danger to herself, but not necessarily
at the risk OF life. On August 25 1906, at Graves
end Bay, she saved Annie Kerr. fourteen years
old, from death by drowning, by rowing out to her
in a boat and dragging her 10 shore by the heels
while she rowed the boat with hand When

applause loud and long that the proceed

After her the most conspicuous heroine was Mrs.
Nellie Nickerson. who rescued Frederick. Alice and
Louise Kookagey. Lyman Warden, William
seiforth and Frederick Sletter The persons named
were in a catboat which had been upset by
storm off Honman's Island. on July 20 1906 Mrs
Nickerson threw a hawser, which the men took
hold Of and reached her hand to the two girls
who took hold Of it with death grip and dragged
her into the water. She succeeded IN coming to
the surface, and by this time the crew Of her
boat had come to the rescue and the whole party
was brought safely ashore in Brooklyn Mrs. Nick

AFTER CARE OF PATIENTS.
New Movements in Institutions Commended
by Homer Folks.

The more progressive institutions OF the time
are now trying to establish better relations with
the community at large, according to Homer Folks,
ex-Commissioner of Charities. who was the
speaker at the School of Philanthropy yesterday
morning. This is it should be. he thinks tho
period OF residence in institution being only an
incident In the assistance which the community
should render to the needy.
Tho last year or two" said Mr. Folks. has
seen the establishment Of several important
agencies for the after care of persons leaving pub
lie institutions. One OF the most notable instances
is the employment by the board of trustees of
Bellevue Hospital OF nurse to aid patients leaving
the hospitals She helps to secure admission to a
convalescent hospital IL that IS needed or to Sc
ployment, or assists In securing employment or
help in locating friends relatives. Similar work
Is being done very effectively the Massachusetts

tion OF DR. Richard c. Cabot.

Fresh air and out-of-door treatment are also
gaining ground in institutions Mr. Folks pointed

A number of prominent citizens have
heartily approved Of Paul de Longpre's
suggestion for a municipal band, to be
composed Of seventy high class artists.
Mayor Harper has taken up the project
and several members of the council
have announced their willingness to
give the plan careful consideration.
M. De Longpres plan seems to be en-
tirely feasible and deserves the sup
port of those who have the welfare
of Los Angeles at heart. With small
expense Los angeles may have an in
stituticn that will not only stimulate
the growing love of music in our citi-
zens. but will prove to be one more
distinctive feature calculated to spread
the fame of the city to all parts of the
world.

stringency arrived the banks, on ac-
count of the unsafe management which
had characterized them. were unable
to afford assistance which they should
have been able to render in stemming
the trouble.
The part played by reckless and
selfish bank management in the affairs
of the country and especially as con-
nected with the two depressions above
referred to, resulted in the adoption
by the government of the United
States of stringent laws providing for
the organization and administration OF
national banks and the control of such
institutions by officials Of the govern
ment, who have the right to prescribe
forms in which their capital shall be
invested and the manner in which
their business shall be carried on.
AS a result of this careful govern
ment supervision it is a remarkable
fact, worthy of note, that during the
almost unparalleled shrinkage of values
in certain stocks which has occurred
within the past six months (and In the
course of which the stocks of the great
railroad aggregations, United States
Steel, Amalgamated Copper and, In
short, of all those corporations which
are particularly the subject of control
by the "lxings of finance" and whose
stocks are VIGOROUSLY used by them
as counters in the Wall street game,
have shown shrinkages of from 20 to
so per cent?, the banking stocks of
the country and especially those of
national banks, have been practically
unaffected and have continued to conn
mand prices that show the confidence
the investing public has in them.
1t is unfortunate that many, innocent
investors have suffered as a result of
the recession in values of stocks and
securities caused by the discovery by
the public of the way in which the
great corporations issuing them have
been manipulated for the special bene-
fit of the selfish and conscienceless
'.kings of finance" who have secured
control of them.
There is no doubt, too, that had the
country not been in position of ex-
ceptional prosperity the depression in
the values of the properties handled
principally in Wall street would have
seriously hurt the country, and that
the country as a whole has escaped
and will escape is attributable to the
particularly healthy condition of gen.
eral business, and especially to the
splendid condition which the agricul-
tural community throughout the whole
nation is at the present time enjoying.
That the worst is past in Wall street
is now generally recognized, but that
the trouble may not occur again there
should be, when the next congress
meets, a general demand, voiced by
every citizen who has the financial
honor and good of his country ut
heart, that congress by appropriate
legislation provide for such govern
mental control of the financial MANAGE
ment of all corporations engaged in
interstate commerce and business as
will prevent in the future such scam
dals as have arisen in the past.

PARCELS POST LAW

A PARCELS POST law is a crying

- master General Meyer is taking
up the cudgels so bravely but unsuc-
cessfully welded by Wanamaker, Villas
and Bissell before him and hopes to
get some concession from the coming
congress.
There are two strong forces arrayed
against the measureAthe four great
express companies and the retail deal
ers in small towns The former get
their dividends out of express monop-
oily, maintained through a brazen lobby
in Washington, and the latter fear the
loss of trade through mail order houses
in the great cities. The express COM

universal demand for the measure. The
small dealer in the smaller towns should
bear in mind that the effect of the bill
on trade cuts for him as well as for
the public. If the individual can OBJ
tain cheap rates on small packages so
can he, and be spared the trouble and
expense, as well as the risk OF carry
ing a great stock, and that where
prices were lowered, business must in
crease and he would soon arrive at
that goal of all good merchants-the
point of large sales and small profits.
