MAXIM GORKY CRITICISED

Maxim Gorky, who recently moved to

is now lying seriously ill. 1t is said that
he has consumption. and that the end of
his career may not be a great way off
That Gorky's premature death would be
sincerely regretted in America goes with
out saying, despite the bitter attacks which
are made the United States and its
people in the new series of articles from
his pen which are now appearing in
Europe under the pleasing title of The
Yellow Devil" Their savage tone is largely
the result, Of course, of what Gorky con-
siders the 'inhuman treatment" he re-
ceived in America
Whatever might be felt in the United
States, however. it is probable that Gorky's
death now would be regarded as no great
calamity by many of his former associates
and by numbers of his countrymen both
at home and abroad who formerly con-
sidered him their apostle. These regard

Our Unprotected Railroads.
From Everybody S.

From Everybody's.
In England, under the law. every mile
passenger track on roads operating more
than single engine is covered with block
signals. That law has been on the statute
book for seventeen years. In contrast with
this consider the fact as regards the
United States as whole:
In this country not one-quarter of the
total mileage is covered by any block
signal system at all.
The Railway Age of Chicago in a recent
issue makes the tabulation. 1t shows that
out of about 100000 miles of main track
only $1,000 miles are protected, and of
this, 41,227 miles. nearly four-fifths,
have simply the primitive manual telegraph
block in which the block usually extends
from one station to the other, one operator
having no mechanical control of another,
and which. be it said. in large part is
utilized only in the daytime.
OF the modern automatic block, what
is known as the controlled manual block
there are only about 11.G0O miles, all told
and of this about one-quarter is on one
system.
All the rest, more than quarters of
the whole, is operated by the antiquated
and hopeiessiy inadequate train order
system.

AS to the work done by this society In
the seven years Of its existence, the fig
ures tell volumes of facts. These show:

total number assisted, 1884; white males,
$3.50; white females, 492; colored males,
5695; colored females. 1857; sent home.

From this statement it will be observed
that something over 5000 has been ex-
pended Up to date. and yet that has covered
expenses of nearly s27 900. This is largely
accounted for by the fact that of the
money paid out to persons trusted by the
agent for fines and railroad fare 80 per
cent has been paid back. Not only does it
speak well for the judgment and intelligent
and diligent work of Agent Massie, but it
also shows how much can be accomplished
by the judiCious use of money i'll this work.
Not long ago Agent Massie arrived at
court with only So in his pocket with
which to aid prisoners-and he afterward
confessed that he was almost ashamed to
appear among the prisoners with so little
When he returned home that evening he
states he had paid out over $50 in fines and
had $40 to begin the next days work
Asked as to how he did it, he stated that
he received so to add to the original S.
from a man to whom it had been lent the
day before The $40 and the S. were used
to pay fines, and as the borrowers FASTENED
to return the loan that money was used
again to pay more fines. The second pair
of borrowers, after their release, also We're
quick to come back with the amount ad-
Vanced for them.
1t is the desire of those connected with
the society to have an endowment of s., 600
or over for the work. The running expenses
of the agent, it is believed, be paid by
the members of the club, by small annual
dues. Al 81 per year 1000 members would
easily pay the current expenses, it is esti-
mated How to procure the endowment is
a grave question now being considered by
those interested in the work.
Agent Massie gives his services to the
work entirely without recompense. The
markable fact is that the society voted a
salary of $1,000 to Agent Massie a couple of
years ago; but it has never paid a single
cent of that salary. The work has been
done, however. without the plaudts of the
people. and day after day this benefactor
and phianthropist has been tireless in ad-
vising assisting and in helping the unfor-
Inmates of the District, with no recompense,
except the joy of doing it.

all knew there was some such code. but
they were not aware that it had ever been
so carelessly confded to paper. And there
is much jubilation among the national CAPT
tails guardians as q result.
Almost every one who has ever lived in
the country or in the suburbs has come
across weird looking signs fence or gate

than nothing at all and conveyed no idea
save that perhaps a thirty thrddegree Ma

nothing better to do than practice the Gala
