Pthe unreasonable idea that the inhab-
titants of the small towns in the out
lslxirts and petticOatS of New York
have some rights which even the NIL
: lli0naires, of the metropolis are power
uess TO take away from them, the
peace officers of the aforesaid villages
have inaugurated an .unceasing war
against automobiles who use the high
ways as a training track for the Van
iderbilt cup. Within the last few
weeks many motor car scorchers in
tent upon overtaking their destination
in a record-breaking time, have been
hauled up before some village magis-
Strate and made to pay heavy fines.

Mrs Frederick w Vanderbilt, who

iamong youngsters of all ages. In past
wears dealers in fireworks have been
ALLOWED to place the Independence
Day explosives on sale about June 10,
but this year the date was made
twelve days later. Commissioners
Bingham hopes that these days of re-
straint have been productive of
spirit of philosophic calm in the pa
ltroitic breast of the small boy, con-
ivincing him that the days of barbar
&c noise are waning and that the
Fourth may best be celebrated by
memorizing the declaration of indie
pendence and reciting "Sheridans
Ride" The supplies of death-dealing
fireworks now being received by
metropolitan dealers give the lie to
this fond hope. II is the one best
bet of the day that scores of young
'sters will be minus fingers, toes or
eyes before the dawn of Independence
day and that many others will be
sleeping beneath the daisies, sacri-
ficed to a premature patriotism that
didn't know it was loaded" Mean
while, nervous men and women had
