conclusion:
''And, whereas, I have noted that
the honorable court has curtailed the

WOMEN TO BEQUEATH
THEIR BRAINS FOR STUDY

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Miss Jes-
sic A. Fowler of New York, daughter
of Professor L. A. Fowler, the emil
nent phrenologist. has made an APP
peal to the women of the country for
their brains. She does not want
these necessary physical adjuncts
while their owners have any use for
them, but asks that they be be
queathed to her for study after
death. As vice president of the Am
erican Institute of Phrenology, she
wishes to study the characteristics OF
the female American brain, in order
to prove a theory that they are SUI
perior in power to the male think
ing apparatus. Already several be-
quests have been made in response to
her appeal and Miss Fowler is collect
ing glass jars as receptacles for them
when their present owners have fin
ished with them.

a Worse Fate,

1t is related that a man in a hurry
for a train rushed for lunch into the
first handy restaurant. 1t was not
fashionable restaurant. 1t was not
even a good restaurant. To his sur
prise and horror he recognized in the
waiter an old school and college
friend.

The Chicago Tribune, in a few
words, expresses what we believe to
be the verdict of the country on the
speech of the president, when it says:
1.-The presidents speech was tempe

dorsed. The administration has put
its hand to the plow, and the people
do not want it to turn back from the
calm and honest performance of its
duty"

Acts Like a Filter,

1t was long thought that the water
from melted snow was the purest of
all water; but this idea has been
proved incorrect, as the reverse is the
case. Snow is really purifier of the
atmosphere, attracting from it the
various impurities found later in the
snow water.

DOES THE SHOE FIT?

We reproduce below an editorial
appearing in New York daily of
recent date. We hope that the shoe
does not fit anybody's foot round
hereabouts:
Precautions are about the most
valuable insurance against trouble
that one engaged in a business sub
ject to inspection by boarGs of health
can boast Just now such boards are
showing uncommon activity in some
of our cities, and as activity is more
or less Catching New York is like
ly at any minute to find the local
health officers emulating those of
Buffalo and other cities where con-
ditions have resulted in disastrous
exposures through health inspectors
reports.
Buffalo's experience has been most
striking during the past few days
along the line of the exposure of the
insanitary conditions of its down.
town restaurants. 1t is not merely
the obscure and less-patronized eat
ing and lunch establishments that are
involved, but the exposures also in
culpate some of the restaurants ia
nous all over the country So bad
were the conditions and so threaten
ing to the health both of employees
and patrons, according to the inspec-
tors report. that prosecutions are
imminent if reforms are delayed.
1.-THE mere publication of partial
details of what was found in Buffalo
will be pretty sure to impress our
own New York health officers and to
suggest such investigation as will de-
termine whether or not metropolitan
restaurant conditions are as threaten
ing to general health in this commu-
nifty as they are in Buffalo. If they
are as bad here as there, no one could
defend them for an instant.
One of the striking disgraces UNI
covered by the inspection, outside OF
insanitary environments of the quar-
ters occupied and the equipment pro-
vided was the unfitness of meats and
other provisions in coolers and store
rooms of the restaurants for table

unhealthful as any recently alleged

doubtless true, and our health Off

reting them out.
What does it avail the dining-out
and lunching-out public that pure
food enactments protect from fraud
by the manufacturer, the Gamer and
the jobber, if proprietors of lunch
and dining places are to be allowed
to jeopardize public health by serv-
ing decaying meats and vegetables
brands exposed to the insanitary
odors and conditions of uninspected
quarters; and by employees who-as
in Buffalo-are found to be afflicted
with diseases too unclean for public
cataloguing? 1t is the public health
which calls for especial action at this
season, and the wise caterer to New
York appetites will do well to in
crease his stock of precautionary
measures ahead of the inspector S
visits.

American financiers who wish to
see themselves as others see them, if
only through refracting medium,
will find in a notable work that Just
now comes from the pen of Jules HUI
ret much that is entertaining and not
little that is informing. Huret has
made close study of Americans and
of American institutions-and of
men in institutions. With Emerson
he holds that an institution is but
the heightened shadow of a man. He
is a sprightly writer, with something
of Macaulay's gift for a well-turned
epigram and something of George w.
Smalley's severity of journalistic
style.
In his book, EN- Allemagne, Rhin
ct Westphalie," NJ. Huret deals with
the political, economic, intellectual
and social aspects of modern Ger
many, employing the methods adopt
ed by Professor Hugo Munsterberg in
his treatise, THE Americans But
the attractiveness of another volume
dealing with the Germans arises
mainly from the parallels Huret
draws between the German money
magnates at home and the financial
moguls in the United States.
Herr Thyssen, the great Westpha-
lian metallurgist and chief of the
German steel trust-how many Am
orleans are there who know much of
this remarkable man?-is likened by
Huret to J. Pierpont Morgan. The
late Frederick Krupp, the gunmaker,
is called the German Rockefeller"
These comparisons are carefully
worked out, and the results show
how certain it is that similar social
conditions, similar industrial circum-
stances, will work out similar human
types in widely separated civiliZa-
lions.
Much of the most interesting mat
ter deals with Emperor William,
whom Huret thinks "a man of re-
markable individuality and great ca
pacity;" but one is happy to say that
the clever Frenchman does not draw
the familiar analogy from President
Roosevelt. We are spared this. Am
bassador White is reading the work
as vacation literature" says letter
from Paris.

At a reception given to Leonca-
vallo about 10 days ago not the least
distinguished among the celebrities
present was Nine. Marchesi, the VEN
cradle teacher of vocal music, who
clearly recalls Beethoven, who re-
members Patti in her youth, who
knew Jenny Lind well, who trained
Melba and who is still equal to the
burdens of daily tuition; wonderful
old dame-as quaint as she is clever,
with a curious staccato elocution and
a manner that suggests nervous force
and the habit of command.
Marchesi told Leoncavallo that she
had one more ambition to realize ere
leaving the field She wished to find
a Japanese woman capable of being
developed into an opera singer of the
first rank. I've had all kinds she
explained, "all kinds. Among my pu'
pills have been Persians, Indians, Chi
nese, Greeks, Turks. But | never
have had a japanese. Give me a
chance to make a Miss Chrysanthe-
mum into a Media. I believe it will
be the fortune of some music teacher
some day-why not mine now?' Her
notion is that the Malayan voice is
capable of the best things.
What was more significant in the
exchange of ideas between the COM
poser and the instructor was Marche-
sis urgent request of Leoncayallo TO
write a great opera about Japan.
When he replied that only Japan
ese could do that, she countered with
a piece of feminine casuistry: Il did
not ask you to write a japanese opera
merely to write an opera about
Japan" He promised to consult
with his advisers

TALES TERSELY TOLD OF
MEN OF The HOUR

Most of j. Pierpont Morgan's time
yesterday, while at his office, was TAX
en- up by prominent men who called
to pay their respects. Outside the
building, moreover, there was a small
knot of lesser lights during the
greater part of the afternoon; and
these worthy persons got what inspi-
ration and tips" they could from an
inspection of the back of the great
bankers head, distinctly visible as Il
spot of white from distance of 100
yards.
Those nearest remarked upon the
immobiity of this same headpiece.
Financiers might enter and financiers
might withdraw, but the head of Mr..
Morgan moved not-upward or
downward, right or left. For / 3 min
utes at all events-as one observer
timed the case-the head might have
been marble or bronze for steadiness.
This quality of poise and equili-
brium is apt to be characteristic of
men of the Napoleonic type. There
is next to nothing Rooseveltian in ].

lIeOuCdNdllO, lIl6 lldllun COlllpOStI,
is in Paris, where much is made of
him, naturally, in the musical set
Saint-Saens and Massenet have been
entertaining him, and the entire ar
tistic world pays honor to the author
of Il Pagliacca' He looks well, it
seems, but is getting stout rapidly;
so that the women of Paris do not
idealize him as they did l 0 years ago,
when he was a slim youngster in his
late twenties. But he is as full of
energy as ever and as full of plans.
Perhaps, as Saint-Saens has said he
is too full of plans to have any room
left for the executing of them; but
may better fates await him.
He mas aroused enthusiasm by his
announcement that near his villa at
Brisagio he is building miniature
theater, where he will give all his flu
ture operas first production. 1t will
be a small house, holding about 800
persons, but the equipment will be
modern. Il shall go to see Madame
PATHS theater at Craig-y-Nos before
| complete it, he says, and then |
shall invite her to sing for me at the
dedication. My idea is that it would
appeal to the imagination of music
lovers all over the world to have the
most glorious exponent of song in the
10th century identified with a temple
erected to the new Worship"
AS an opening work, Leonvavallo
will choose his new opera, THE Red
Shirt" which takes its plot and inspi-
ration from Garibaldi campaigns,
Just now in the mind of Italy in con-
nection with the recent celebration
at the Tooth anniversary of his birth.
The composer has not given any hint
as to the plot or the score beyond
saying that they are historical and
dramatic If it is another Il Pagliac-
ci," the world of music has a sensa-
ton ahead.
