The duke Of Athoil, now IS years old,

Guarding the President-EIect.
Brooklyn Eagle

There will be no disposition among
sane n decent people to do or 10
wish Mr.. Taft III. Two blameless Obi
ans, after reaching the presidency, one
of them the second time, were slain by
cranks in whom frustrated hun
ger for spoils wrought murderous malice.
The Eagle hopes that the president-elect
viii be surrounded by friends Of sense
and vigilance at every point. Mr.. Taft
Is a trustful and unsuspicious mar and
because he is both he should be protected
from miscreants and lunatics as effec-
lively as President Roosevelt himself Is.

And now we are told by a political
wiseacre that 10000 republicans in
Nebraska voted the democratic ticket
simply to register a protest against
"sumptuary legislation" If that is so,
then it is a republican victory and our
democratic friends are throwing bou-
quets at themselves without cause.
Omaha daily bee., 1908-11-12

OF course, the republican executive
committeeman from Nebraska is to be
blamed for the loss of presidential cleo
tors in Nebraska. Colorado and
Nevada and the loss of the governors
in Minnesota, Indiana and Ohio, but
is entitled to no credit whatever for
holding the states OF Kansas. South
Dakota, Wisconsin. Illinois. Indiana
and Missouri in the republican column.

The editor of a woman's paper
scores society girls for spending their
time at matinees eating chocolate
drops with young men in swallowtail

should waste her time with a young
man who wears a swallow-tail coat at
a matinee.

Chairman Mack declares that THE party

a Misrepresentation that democratic success
would retard the business interests of the

the news OF the day since the election. 1t
relates largely to business activities that
were held up for fear Of democratic success,
There was no Misrepresentation. The bust

ROUND ABOUT NEW YORK.
nipples on the Current OF Life in n
MetropOIiH.

RippIes on the Current OF Life In the
Metropolis
In the current issue OF Harper's Weekly
a member OF the medical staff describes old
Bellevue hospital. a famous institution
which is to be pulled down shortly and a
modern building reared in its place. Many
legends cluster around this sombre old
pile. especially the tradition of the BLACK
Bottle which the writer says is a fic-
ton as firmly believed as the doctrine of a
religion. The black bottle is the enthanasia
of the useless, the incurable, or the trouble
some. 1t is in the custody of some mys-
terious person, who sits az the Judge of
life and death. Its contents are quietly
dropped in the victims food or drink and
he passes on to cumber the earth no
longer. There is no appeal from the black
bottle, its existence is denied by all in
authority, II does its work silently and
surely. Horror of horrors, the bottle some
times falls into the hands Of some spiteful
nurse or attendant, and then let the tronbe-
maker beware! Or perhaps the medical
schools need new material for their dis
secting rooms; again the black bottle, and
a plethora Of subjects results.
A great many years ago the nursing in
the institution was done by convicts from
the peHltehtldIy anu ny "oHheh rum lne
workhouse and the jails; tradition says
that in those days it was dangerous to be
helpless in the wards with even the wealth
OF a few dollars; a little opium in the food,
n pillow pressed down over the face or a
knee squeezed into the throat, and It was
all over. . The legend of the black bottle
may have been the result of those days.
Another tradition of Bellevue is to consider
every man alcoholic until he is proved in
nocent. This tradition dates from 1875,
when the hospital was raised" where the
city hall now stands, at the expense Of
fifty gallons of rum, paid for by the cor
poration.

There Is a feeling OF uneasiness among
men of a staid and conservative nature, to
whom golf means physical exercise and
mental relaxation. over the very marked
tendency to make it a vehicle for gambling;
the less disturbing.
A New York man of middle age, who has
played for years purely for the two OBJ
jects above mentioned-physical and mental
t-one-expressed the feeling of many OF his
class when he said. ut has come to a
point where on many OF the links 1t is
next to impossible to engage a partner to
go the rounds unless there is some sort of
a hazard connected with the game.
THE players who crowd the courses seem
to be minated altogether by a desire to
make something on the play. There is
otherwise no incentive for them. The re-
suit is inevitable. The game will develop
into a gamble, as did bicycle racing, and
as automobile racing has become. In the
club houses one hears of little except how
much A won on this game or B lost on the
other, or C played so as to pull someone
out Of a financial hole. 1t is a bad ten
dency, and II it is not checked golf will
soon be doomed as a decent gentlemen's
game"
DO the club officials encourage it?"
Not openly. but in each election the
sporting element in the club comes more
and more to the front. The result Is tina

Some one who is apt at figures has
shown that New York City today lie larger
In population than sixteen different states
and territories. and, further, that within
a radius OF twenty miles are living over
10. O00.O 600.
The improved methods of transportation
which are fast widening the limits Of New
York's business energy, will soon embrace a
radius of fifty miles, within which are
located 1884 different towns and cities
whose total population, with that of
Greater New York, is equal to fully one
fifth of the population of the United
States.
When II is realized that the permanent
Increase in population of New York last
year was about 100000, a city of the size
of Cleveland, o., some idea of the tre-
fnendous growth of the city can be ap-
preciated. One of the assurances OF a
continued and permanent growth is to be
found in the $1,000 marriages that AXE
place every year.
Besides this permanent increase. New
York is entertaining an average of over
10000 transient visitors every day, and at
some seasons, when the hotel accommoda-
tons are taxed to their utmost, fully 800, 900
people are chronicled in their home papers
as spending "a few days in New York on
pleasure and business"

After expanding $1,000, OO in the erection
of his magnificent marsion on Riverside
Drive, Charles NJ. Schwab, the steel mag
nate, Is said to have come to the con-
clusion that the palace is too expensive a
luxury. 1t now has the appearance OF a
deserted castle. The servants have been
discharged, the windows and doors boarded
up, and burglar alarms installed.
The abandonment by Mr. Schwab of his
ambitious design of maintaining the finest
town house IN America is said to be one
of the aftermaths of the financial panic.
The grounds on which the edifice is To-
Gated comprise the block bounded by Riv-
erside Drive, West End avenue and Sew
enty-third and seventy-fourth streets. The
stables are at 29 West Seventy-sixtn
street. A string of blooded horses and
fashionable turnouts was installed there,
but they have been sold.
