case the sentence was to serve one
year in the penitentiary, aud in the
other TO serve six months.
Here lies the chief difficulty. Hot
weather, brutal instincts, publicity,
may all play some part in melting
these offenses, but not so great q
one, all put together, as such com
parative security from rigorous
punishment. Until the courts of
New York and the rest of the coun-
try are brought to see this phase of
the evil, any remedy must be partial
and temporary.

SAVE BURNING BOY
BY ROLL DOWN HILL

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 7.-Presence
Of mind on the part OF a ten-year-old
brother saved seven-year-old Alfred
Green, of % Moore street, probably from
death by fire.
With some companions the two
brothers were piling waste on a bonfire.
In the riot Of fun the boys were dancing
around the blazing refuse. One boy,
next to Alfred, tripped and fell against
the smaller boy, throwing him headlong
into the flames. His clothing took fire
on the instant and in the same moment
his elder brother reached over, grabbed
him by the shirt and carried him to a
nearby embankment. Starting him with
push from the top, the little chan
rolled over and over to the bottom ex-
tnguishing the flames.
He was taken to Mt Sinai Hospital
where his buns were found to be su-
perhcial and not serious. The elder boy
Is the lion Of the neighborhood.

New YOrk'S "Crime Wave.

The news columns of every daily
paper in the United States are filed
with the carnival fof crime" now
reigning in New York city. Gotham
itself, usually complaisant, indiffer-
ent, willfully blind, is aroused.
Mobs of more or less menace have
sought the lives of toughs charged
with having assailed young girls.
Manifestly the metropolis is in a
state of unrest and suspicion, and
on the edge of hysteria.
The onlool1er at this distance
should keep his perspective. He
should remember, first, that there
is no evidence of any more crime in
New York than at the same season
of any previous year for n decade.
He should remember, second, that
the way to prevent such crime for
this year and every other is to i'm
pose. soberly and deliberately, a
punishment prOportionate to the
offense.
Judge Warren w. Foster, in a
charge to the August grand jury,
and Superintendent Jenkins, of the
Gerry Society, are authority for the
first assertion. There are now
pending" says the first, "s49 indict-
ments in the county of New York
and but few cases waiting the ac-
tion of the grand jury. In the past
that three or four thousand indict-
ments were pending was not deemed
unusual" Says Mr.. Jenkins: There
isn't any crime wave. L mean by
that that our statistics show no in
crease in the number of actual as,
saults committed upon girls under
sixteen years"
If this be true. it is time for a
civil house-cleaning, as the New
York World suggests. That paper
publishes the record from May tc
yesterday. Here it is:
Assaults on women and girls re-
ported to the police from May to

How do the authorities deal with
al this? Are they imposing, sober
ly and deliberately, punishment:
prOportionate to the offenses?
Four cases were acted upon yes
terday by the special sessions court
