BLUE SUNDAY WILL. LONG
BE REMEMBERED IN CITY

nj EW YORK.-New York's Blue Sun
~ day" will be remembered for a
long time. For the first time in the
history of the city $4,000 people, who
usually attend some form of amuse-
ment on that day, were forced to
amuse themselves by walking in the
streets or in the parks. There was
not theater, not concert hall, dance
hall or lecture-room open in the city
and 400 penny and nickel arcades that
usually do an enormous business on
Sunday were closed. Even the
donkeys that carry children on their
backs for small fee in central park,
rested, the police refusing to allow
them to carry on their regular bust
ness.
1t is estimated that actors, musicians
and employees of the various entertain
ments that are usually open on Sun
day, lost $4,000 by the forced closing
of everything and the estimated loss
to the amusement interests of the city
Is placed at $4,000.

There is some compensation in not
being king if man can be a captain
of industry or retired diamond mine
owner. There is too much ceremony
about the job of king to suit the av-
erage mortal. Does royalty never get
a chance to relax? The king not only
must be every inch king, but he
must be king every minute. Some
body whom he has never met, but who
must have had grim sense of humor,
has prescribed etiquette for him which
he must follow every waking minute1
We fancy there is some formula which
he must snore by also. Even when he
travels incognito he has to send ahead
a description of his clothes and the
way he spells his name to the chiefs
OF police Of the cities in which he ex-
poets to stop. No wonder the king of
Spain took off his coat and threw it
away when out hunting. The only
wonder is that he did not throw a
brick at the person who reproved him
for Il.

A STORY of rare heroism In cOnnec-
IA ton with the burning of the steam
ship General Slocum is revealed by the
inscription on an urn into which were
put the other day the ashes of Henry
n. Malabar, who forfeited his life in
saving others. The inscription runs
Greater love hath no man than
this, that a man lay down his life for
his friends"
On June 10, 1904, Mr.. Mallabar was
chief clerk in Riverside hospital, on
North Brother island, when the i'll
fated excursion steamship General Slo-
cum, mass of flame, bore down on that
island.
Mr.. Mallabar was one OF the first to

burning vessel. He seized three little

were saved, and on three succeeding

BALLOONS may soon be as common
- in the sky as clouds, even if the
rest of the country does not follow the
example of this city, which appears
suddenly to have become balloon
crazy. In the recent international bal
loon races at st. Louis, together with
the numerous ascensions hereabouts,
local amateurs who have begun to
find automobiling unexciting even at
80 miles an hour, have discovered the
lead for new sport. and, leaving ter
ra firma, expect to have their nerves
stimulated hereafter in the air.
The strength of this sudden craze
for balloOning as a pastime is suffi-
GENTLY indicated by the fact that at
the auto show now being held here
ten balloons have been actually sold,
with many others ordered Balloon
men have been kept busy arranging
for demonstrations of their gas bags,

BIG SUM NECESSARY TO
RUN CITY OF NEW YORK

FATHER KNICKERBOCKER is a
i reckless spendthrift. At least that
is the latest charge against the long
suffering old gentleman in knee
breeches. AS Comptroller Metz and
Health Commissioner Darlington are
among those who make the charges,
there may be presumed to be some
truth in them.
The comptroller points out that it
costs $400,000,000 year to run the
city, or more than the combined ex-
penditures of London, Paris and Ber-
lin. 1t requires 81, 100000 to meet
the city pay roll alone and much of
this is alleged to go for unnecessary
salaries. In fact, Mr.. Metz asserts
that the positions of One-third of the
city's employees could be abolished
without lessening the amount of work
done Other wasteful items to which
Charlevoix county herald., 1908-01-11

charges, amounting to millions, due to
the city's habit of spending its in
come before it is collected.
With the city's debt limit almost
reached and with real estate taxes
mounting to figures which are causing
property owners to unite in protest.
these charges are attracting attention
from the usually Indifferent New
Yorker. Other statisticians have come
to the front with the assertion that
extravaganza is not confined to the
municipality, but is habit of the
citizens as well. They produce figures
to show that New Workers are the
most wasteful people on earth and
that among the items that they vir-
tually throw away are 100000 gal.

He thinks great progress could be

may be doubted, however, whether
there is any practical need of this.

When You Put Latchkey in Your Door

When You Put Latchkey in Your Door.
When you put the latchkey in the
door of your home, drop your business
or profession; drop all the things
which have vexed and worried and
nagged you during the day; drop
everything disagreeable. Just say to
yourself, Il will not allow these
shadows in my home. This is shrine
too sacred for discord." Resolve that
peace, harmony, contentment shall
reign there. If you insist on worrying
during the daytime, do not drag your
worries home at night. Do not bring
the black fiends which have destroyed
your peace in the office into your
home. Leave your cares and your
troubles behind when you enter it's
doors. The habit which many married
people have of talking their troubles
over at night, and especially at the
dinner table, is most vicious one,
declares Orison SWEET Marden in Sue
cess Magazine. The dinner bell should
be a signal for the happiest time of
the day. Every member Of the family
should go to the table with smiles
each one should bring his best, bright
est and most cheerful things to it. No
one should be allowed to complain or
relate his unfortunate experiences
there. The assembling round the din
ner table should be an occasion for
fun and laughter-the enemies of in
digestion.
