Little Boy Drowned at
Woodruff

A very sad accident which re-
suited in the drowning of Jona-
than, the six years old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Jackson, Of Woodruff,
occurred at that place last Mon
dav. 1t seems that the mother
of the children was sewing near
by and the children were wading
and play1ngin the stream as was
often their custom. The mother
suddenly hearing splash and a
cry saw to her horror that the
little fellow had ventured too
near deep hole that was in the
stream just below the dam and
had slipped and fallen into the
deep water. The mother instant
ly sprang in after her child but
the water being very deep and
the bank steep and slippery she
was unable to keep either herself
or the child from sinking. The
half drowned child grasped it's
mother about the neck and they
both went under, the little boys
hold becoming loosened he sank
for the last time and was not
found for halt an hour afterward.
In the meantime Mr.. Jackson
and some men arrived just in
time to save Mrs. Jackson, who
was in an inSenSlble condition
when rescued. The mother re-
covered after awhile only to find
that her little boy was dead.
The grief stricken parents have
the sympathy of ali in their sad
affliction.

A BOARD OF

The board of managers of the State
Hospital for the Insane at Trenton has
exhibited an i~ncapaeity that is sur
prising even in a State board, and
its worst offenses have been COM
mitted since the limelight of %investi-
cation was turned upon the hospital
management by the Hahn committee.
The board ob~stinately refused to act
upon any other theory but it's stupid
own as to the source of the typhoid
epidemic that was sweeping off so
many lives in the hospital; it peremp-
torily discharged the medical director
simply and only because his evidence
before the Hahn committee compro-
missed the board; it got the worthless
State Sewerage Commission to make
of the source of the disease; it refused
to act in the warden's case until his
misdoings became so rank that the
board had to accept his enforced resig-
nation, and 1t put in his place a
political rounder in office at the solicit
tation of Trenton politicians. More
over, the board has taken no cogniz-
ance of the fact that the late warden
purchased his supplies at %exorbitant
prices from the sons and s~ons-in-law
of one of it's members.
1t has been intimated that President
vroom and Manager Rice, Of the board,
intended to resign at an early day.
Rice should resign at once n Presi-
dent Vroom is better fitted to grace
social than public life. The exhibition
of Judgment he has made as president
of the board reflects upon his judg-
ment as q member of the Court of
Errors and Appeals. A man so tolerant
of neglect and manifest wrong, involv-
ing consequences so serious, cannot be
regarded with much confidence in his
Judgment in a judicial capacity. But
the designations of all the managers
are in ORDER, and If they are not forth
coming within a month, the Legisla-
ture, when it assemblies, should replace
the board with some better manage
mont

o1Lur1Na THE HARBoR.

Chairman Hitch, of the pollution
committee of the Merchants Associa-
ton of New York, has informed Gov
,ernor Hughes that the boroughs that
make up the city of New York are IL
legally polluting the waters of the
harbor and are liable to fines aggre-
eating $44,1 S6, 1856. These figures are
big enough to attract attention before
the world has quite caught its breath
over the famous STANDARD OIL hne's
size, but apart from the magnitude Of
the sum. the information is 'inter-
esting if true for several reasons, and
likewise surprising.
The Merchants Association, insti-
gated by Paterson kickers, took an
active part in arousing New York OPP
position to the project of the Passaic
valley sewer, on the ground that it
would pollute the waters of New York
Harbor, claiming that New York alone
had the right to W into the bay
At that time it didn't strike the Mer-
chants Association thai to impute to
the little volume of sewage the trunk
sewer will take down, the power of
polluting the great bay, already re-
ceiving daily a very Niagara of sewage

PUBLIC SERVICE CHANGES.

The contemplated change in the sys-
tenn Of management of the railroad
lines included in the trolley service of
the Public Service Corporation has no
more public significance than any other
business change, since 1T is only n of
form and does not involve any increase
of stock capitalization. Whatever ques-
tion there is in the project lies between
the majority and minority stockholders,
the majority being represented by the
Public Service Corporation itself, which
owns nearly all of the stock of the sub
sidiary companies to be amalgamated
into the Public Service Railway Com
pany, subsidiary to the Public Service
Corporation.
1t is always claimed when public util-
ity corporations are merged that the
object and effect are economy of ad-
m%inistration and operation. Obviously
there will be a large economy made by
this consolidation, since it will dispense
with separate boards of directors and
separate bookkeeping and other ex-
penses. It will also naturally simplify
the management, save time and serve
to concentrate the energies of the man
agement. If the economy effected will
help to pay dividends, that also will be
a source of qualification. A dividend
paying company is better able to pay
for improvements in h service, and
that is what the public is looking for.

THE RAILWAY -REFoRMAToRY.

Governor Stokes in his first annual
message showed thai up to 1906 the
Railway Reformatory had cost the
State $1,O4S, $50. The amount spent up
to date for building and furnishing ex-
ceeds $500, 900. Last year $1,000 900 was
appropriated for a new wing. The
present accommodations are for 256
inmates, but the number is exceeded
by 219 and the building is filed with
cots for accommodating the excess.
1t was estimated in 1898 by Governor
Griggs, after $4,000 had been spent on
the reformatory, that an additional
1925, 900 would be sufficient to complete
the building. The State has expended
$500, 900 in excess of that estimate and
the reformatory is as yet far from be-
ing complete.
The Hahn investigation has also
shown serious defects in the manage
ment, which the Legislature will doubt
less attend to. There is a board of
managers for this institution, too, and
it's management is not much better
than that of the Hospital for the In
sane at Trenton. If the reformatory
affairs shall be delved into deep
enough the board may be shown up in
even less 1attering colors. The family
arrangement of the Martins in the
management and other features ex-
hibited by the investigation could not
have been possible without the sanction
of the reformatory managers.

The admiral of the Navy.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
What is George Dewey's correct title in
the naval service? MARINE.
1.-THE hero of Manila Bay was created
admiral of the navy in 1899 In this coun-
try the rank of admiral was first estab-
lished by act of Congress on July %, 1866,
as distinguished from that of vice-admiral
and rear admiral, already in existence. 1t
has to this day been conferred only on
three oficers-David G. Farragut, commits
stoned In 1865: David d. Porter. commits
stoned in 1870, and George Dewey, commits
stoned in 1899. Dewey's title recalls a
peculiar incident. Several years after the
honor had been conferred upon him a
slight discrepancy was discovered between
the wording of his commission and the
wording of the law of 1899 under which
it was provided for. The commission of
the admiral read the admiral in the
navy" where the law has it "the admiral
of the navy" Accordingly, a new COM
mission was made out for the admiral,
and this necessitated a new nomination by
the President and confirmation thereof by
the Senate.-Ed.1

Books for Boys.


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
[ would like to make a protest against
the idiotic action Of a lot of old, out-of-
date fogies, who In Worcester, Mass, SO
1 am told, have barred the works of an
author chat Is dear to many a boy in
America-Horatio Alger, jr.
How many men are there today who
will not tell the pleasure they derived
from Ragged Dick" "Tattered Tom"
Sink or Swim and many other of Mr..
Alger's books which PORTRAYED truly the
bootblack's and newsboy's life in New
York city?
I think IL the trustees of that par
ticular library in Worcester would look
at a few other books whose authors are
well known to all our boys they would
find worse reading; take for instance Mr..
G.. A. Henty's books. If one would take
the time to look in the works of Mr..
Henty there can be found many histori-
cal errors, while the true historical facts
are distorted in a way that make one
wonder at the truth of even them. In the
book by G.. A. Henty, under the title,
with Lee In Virginia." the author states
that the Merrimac defeated the Monitor
at the battle Of Hampton Roads. /
merely make the comparison, not to put
down the works Of this author, who has
written many a DOCK That L nave eli
joyed in the past, but to show that If a
book is TO be barred from boys who
patronize public libraries, why not bar
the book that co~ntradicts our American
history, thus giving the boy false facts?
In spite of such an idiotic decision as
the worcester wise ones have made in
condemning an author who will ever re-
main an immortal idol with the boys OF
America, it is easy to say that their good
Offices will hardly ever be copied In
other cities to a very large extent.
I would suggest, Mr.. Editor, that the
immortal Aesop's Fables, Mother Goose
rhymes and Gulliver's Travels be con-
demned under the mature fake code,
and then nave those books replaced by
the works of Homer, Lord Bulwer, Ber-
nard Shaw, and not forgetting the far
famed Marie Corelli, for they no doubt
in time would become dear to the hearts
| our American boyish readers.

WINGS THAT DON'T FLAP IN UNISON,

There are two wings to the New
Idea, the conservative and the radical
wings. Most movements in politics
split up in hat way. 1t is the expert
ence the world over. In East Orange
on Thursday night the radical wing
had it's say in the speech of Chairman
Freeman, of the county committee of
the New Idea. There were conserva-
tives present and listening, and If they
felt that the views expressed by the
county chairman were forced upon
them in a social way by their host,
they politely did not say SO. Sheriff
Sommer, however, softened the as
perity of the criticism upon Chandler
w. Riker. the choice of a wing of he
New idea for Governor, by reciting he
good deeds of Mr.. Riker as an offset to
the bad ones narrated by Chairman
Freeman. A political candidate is not
wholly White or black in his moral
character. He has some good points.
But what is to be the outcome of this
developing friction between the con-
sentative and the radical wings of the
New Idea?

PROHIBITION AND IMMIGRATION.

While prohibition in the Southern
States is calculated to keep the negroes
in better order, it will be fatal to the
immigration of white labor which the
South so much needs and desires. In
the Judgment of an officer of the Immi-
grafton Bureau, so soon as the class of
people being sought in the South find
out that prohibition laws cucumber
their personal liberty, they will refuse
to go South, and those now there will
leave, says this official.
1.-The German, Austrian, Swede, Finn
peans will not go where they cannot
90 beer. Besides that, they resent any
interference with what they shall eat or
drink, blieving these are matters of
personal liberty. They do not hold The
view that so light a drink as beer, when
taken in moderate amounts and under
circumstances to which they are accus-
lOIleu, is SllieT u Sill VI SiiniS'
No immigration goes to Maine be-
cause of its restrictive laws, although
the State is splendidly adapted for the
fine class of immigrant that comes
from the north of Europe. The adop-
ton of>prohibition by the State of New
Jersey would not only stop the flow of
immigration into the State, but drive
away thousands of it's present popula-
ton. Local option would have no eff
feet In cities, but it would %depopulate
the country districts of their foreign
born laborers and make the labor prob
lem for the farmer infinitely worse than
1t is.
The great problem, as the South sees
1t today, is the negro. He is the para
mount question. But, again, it is to be
questioned whether prohibition will
prove a cure-all or even make the
Southern black soberer. Whiskey is
easily distilled, and the sort of fiery
stuff that will be illicitly produced can
be obtained in spite of the law. AS the
same official observes, sit is history
that prohibition runs out the milo
drinks like beer and brings in the worst

Cleaning Hair Brushes.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
What methods do you advise for clean
ing hair brushes? j. M. c.
Never use either hot water or soap, as
both discolor the bristles and loosen them
from the backs. Dissolve, soda or borax in
hot water and let it get almost cold, when
1t will be just right for use. Dip the
bristles in and out of the water until clean,
taking care not to wet the backs of the
brushes, or their polish will be spoiled;
then rims in clear, cold water, shake as
dry as possible. and stand in the air till
perfectly dry, when the bristles will be
as firm and stiff as when new. Never put
a brush near the fire or in the sunshine
to dry. for this will soon spoil the color
Of the bristles.-Ed.1
