FINANCIAL STABILITY.
Remarkably Few Failures, Consider
 ing Great Volume of Business.

From the Wall Street Journal.
 No Wall street development of the past ten years has been, more striking than it's growing immunity from business faii- ures. During that time there have been a number of violent and wide fluctuations in market prices and tremendous straln put upon banking credits, and yet the number of failures has been inflnitesihldi as compared with the magnitude or the operations tha have taken place. since the first of January of this year, durihs which time the decline in railroad securl- ties has been equal to the decline which it took a whole year to bring about 'h 1903 there have been equal to the decline which 1t took a whole year to bring apout in 1903, there have been only three stoch exchange failures. Yet this was as seveIs a test of Wall streets financial strength as has occurred in many years.
 It is well to examine into the reasohs for this increasing ability to resist us aster. The establishment of the stock eN- chance clearing house in 1892 has undoub.- edlv had much to do with 1t. inas much as if has reduced the volume or pank certifications and thus made the strani upon the money market less severe, put there is a deeper reason than this' ihei has been a remarkable growth or pracu- cal cooperation in the financial iieia uui , ing the past ten years. Inere IS ihueeu a fierce competition between the pan'Ss' but this competition does not prevent tue action of a law which puts pehind each institution the united strength or all, fact which reduces. the possibility or d failure to a minimum. A bank IS not permitted to fail unless its resources have been impaired beyond all possibility of help. The same cooperation In no slight degree exists between the banks and the private banking and brokerage houses. The financial community has learned that it loses more by permitting A firm to fail than it would by extending q helping hand to it and tiding it over, and 1t does not let go until It appears that the condition of the firm is absolutely hopeless
 Now this development constitutes very effective breakwater against whole sale disaster, such as has been produced by great panics. It encourages the De- lief that the periodic visitations Of busi- ness depression will become less and less severe and protracted in the coming years,

The others, inside wards, are supplied through ducts with air cooled, as indicated, to a temperature of 70 degrees to l2 de- grees This refrigerating system will un- questionably be the direct means of sav- ing many lives on sultry nights and days.
 Statistics of the cases treated by the Boston Floating hospital, all involving children under six years of age, demon- strate the service rendered to the com munity. Very many of them are desperate when received. Some of these belong to the class of patients known as perma- nent," of whom last years record shows that 143 were discharged well, 90 were re- lieved 49 not relieved, and lSl died Fifty of them were actually moribund at en- trance and lived less than AS hours. Most of these children were suffrng from dis- orders which, in the opinion of compe- tent physicians, would have meant almost certain death if they had been left In their sweltering homes
 The Day Patients.

When there is room for them, well children whom the moth CTS cannot leave at home are allowed to go down the harbor for the day. These sit out on the fore deck and play games under the direction of a trained kinder gartner. A familiar picture last year when the boat returned In the afternoon was a mother who supports seven chii- dren by scrubbing in an office building and to whom the opportunity to send the youngest away for the day was an in- calculable boon. The total number of trips made by well and sick children with their mothers or sisters in attendance az gregated last year 12.97O
 Not the least of the benefits is that of the education imparted to mothers who either accompany the children on the trips or who learn from them some of the things done by the trained attendants aboard. It is no exaggeration to say that the consumption among little chll- dren ot sour pickles. sweet pickles, green apples, onions. black coffee, strong tea beer and whisky has been materially de- creased in Boston through the nhuence of the Floating hospital.

ABOARD THE WHITE
 SHIP OF MERCY Something of Boston's New Floating Hospital FIRST COMPLETE SEASON Plan for Treatment of Sick Babies Being Considered in Many
 Cities-WilI Teach
 Mothers to Feed.
FIRST COMPLETE SEASON

Boston, June 15.-(Special )-"This con- cern has the back fire escape beat a mile, as place for sick child of hot night" said q grateful mother as she received her afflicted little one in improved health from the Boston Floating hospital, the White Ship of Mercy as it has been roetically called. The same sentiment has been varously expressed a great many times in the last few years. No charity anywhere, it is probable, is more high ly appreciated than this unique Boston en- terprlse which has attracted the attention of practical sociologists throughout the world. No sight, furthermore, along the water front of the New England capital, not even the historical Old Ironsides her self, as she lies off Uncle Sam's navy yard, proves more interesting to the hun dreds of thousands of visitors during the summer months than that of the twin screw steamer whose Ianding place IS at the North End recreation pier. Equipped for taking three hundred sick children, day or night, out where the sea breezes blow uncontaminated with the city's dust she typifies a form of philanthropy that is almost certain, soon- CT or later, to be followed in every large city which has access to the sea or to a navigable lake or river.
 The Present Season.
 The present season will be a notable one in the history of this charity, be- cause it will be the first la which the new and specially designed ship of the Floating hospital will have been in use throughout the hot weather, equipped with refrigerating apparatus for keeping the temperature of some of it's wards at about 72 degrees whatever the torridity outside. The old boat with which many thousands of Americans are fami-

 Hygenic Feature.
 A particular beneficial hygienic feat ure aboard the boat is the food labora- tory. which has already made important contributions to present day knowledge of infant feeding. It's greatest achevement, perhaps, up to this time, has been the attainment of an almost unprecedented quality of millS-that is to say of tactic mixtures which very closely approximate the human article. Cows milk, as all most everybody knows. practically, if not theoretically, contains about four times as much curd as does human milk. It is, therefore, in its natural form not abso- lutely proper food for young children. To render it more digeStible is a problem for the chemist, and 1t is one which the experts of the food laboratory of the Boston Floating hospital believe that they have pretty well solved. They have ar rived at very satisfactory milk mixtures, so far as percentages of sugar and pro- teid go. At the same time they have virtually reached perfection of sterilizing, for they succeed in reducing the num- Der of bacteria per cubic centimeter from the 500,000 which the Boston Board Of I1cdltH ScelS as tue OutSlue IlllllI or Sd1e- ty, down to as low as q bare 130 bacte- ria to the same quantity of milk. Marm- ful germs, in general, are banished from this substitute for the fire escape hos pital."
 The charitable undertaking is dependent upon the voluntary contributions of in- dividuals and associations. 1t has long been the custom to give individuals the privilege of naming a days trip as a memorial, usually to some deceased friend or relative, or, 1t may be, in honor of some living person. The sum fixed by the trustees for tEis opportunity is S150 and so generally are the days taken that the GUS tom has also grown up of naming the nights in the same manner at cost of $l0U. Ii has become a species of noblesse oblige among the well-to-do of Boston and the neighborhood to take at least one day or night for the support of the hoat- ing hospital The institution is conducted like any other good hospital with board of trustees, visiting staff, an auxiliary stan. resident physician, house stan, several medical assistants. and forty or fifty graduate nurses. Net among the largest contributors to its support, but now and then among the most enthusias- tic are the recipients themselves of the benefits of the charity. It is not uncom- | mon for the manager, Mir G. Loring Briggs. to receive in an envelope doi- lar or two dollars from some gratefui

More Than Million Visited Zoo.


 Bronx geological park was visited last year by 1,32l,917 persons. A number equal to more than one-fourth of the city's population paid their tribute of interest to the birds and beasts incarcerated with in the park. As many persons as ths t do not live in St. Petersburg, Calcutta, Constantinople, Philadelphia or Moscow It is double the population of St. Louis or Boston end quadruple that of Cincin- nati, and yet practically all of the great multitude pass through the gates on five days of the week. for Mondays and Thursdays are pay days, when visitors are comparatively scarce.
 No greater testimony that people are strangely attracted by the observance of wild animals is to be found than this fact that 10000 persons each week visit the collection of the New York Geological society in Bronx park. The tract is well outside of the city's center of population Indeed, It is away up on the selvage of the great town, up where the oak and hemlock still hoursh--and is not set into the economy of the city like the zoologi- cal gardens in London, to which the visi- tor may drive in hanson in a com paratively few minutes.

 The telephone in the office of c. N. Black, general manager of the street rail- way company, rang viciously. The official dropped lot of correspondence and turned to it..

 Then for ten minutes he sat listening. Now and then a photographic sort of sound escaped from the receiver. The sound was working rapidly-perhaps 400 revolutions to the minute. Occasionally the general manager opened his mouth as though to speak. but immediately lapsed into silence again Once or twice he nodded his head. His face flushed and then paled. Still he sat, listening com pletey at the mercy of someone on the other end of the line. When someone was done, the general manager said meek ly:

EXPLAINS ACTION
Reasons Why Days Sentence
of Death Was Cummuted
Are Given.
DISSENTING OPINION FILED
ATTORNEY GENERAL BREEDEN
THINKS SENTENCE WAS JUST.

The state board OF pardons in a for

the reasons which actuated 1t in com

is signed by four of the five members
of the board. Governor Cutler and JUS

board was written by Justice Frick and
sets forth the attitude of those who
signed it.
The opinion in part Is as follows:
