Chief Of Buda Pest Department
in New York City
is STUDYING OUR SYSTEM
Hungarian Dons Helmet and Boots
and Goes Out With the Men to
Extinguish a Blaze, But Is Not
Used to Our Quick Action.

NEW YORK June 29-l'or more
than a month Stephen Joseph Adam,
chief OF the fire department OF Buda
Pest, Hungary, has been fighting fire
on the East side as member of
Hook and Ladder Company lS.
Adam, who weighs 2S0 pounds, came
to this country accompanied by his
wife and son and commissioned by
the Buda Pest authorities to make
a thorough investigation OF the sys-
TEN OF fighting the flames in the big
cities OF the NJ, S. The credentials
represented to Fire Chief Croker
insured him every attention and his
request to gain experience as a real
fire laddie was granted He was
equipped with helmet uniform, rub
Der coat and rubber boots and sent
to Truck No Is to learn how the
New York FIRE fighters do business.
1t took the Hungarian fire fighter
several days to become accustomed
TO the quick action OF the New York
ers. AT the first alarm the hook and
ladder truck was half way to the fire
before Adam had his boots on. He
soon caught the swing. however, and
was usually the first to slide down
the brass pole.
Tomorrow Adam will join the crew
of the FIRE boat New Yorker at the
Battery yard and for two weeks will
see how harbor fires are fought. Next
he will go to Chicago to observe the
system there.

DEPORTATION CHEAPER.

The case OF Frank Beckman, the
insane person just committed from
this county to the asylum for insane
at Salem, is one to point the moral
OF Governmental interference. This
man has been in the country for 20
years, coming hither from Sweden,
his nature and system charged to the
full with the germ Of insanity The
man is ravening maniac; fierce
type OF the awful mental reaction
that follows its hereditary plane, only
to break forth on some extraordinary
strain and pressure, and at best, cost
ing the country enormously to care
for and perpetuate an existance
wholly unfit and menacing This man
never even applied for his first
papers in citizenship; he is an alien
charge upon the purse OF the native
and naturalized citizenry OF the state
and country
1t would infinitely better and
cheaper to deport such people; and
the glaring fact that nine-tenths of
the insane patients sent out from this
county are of alien birth, warrants
an investigation on the part of the
government for the ascertainment of
those similarly affected and yet to be
heard from on this awful score. The
normal man we want with US always;
he is welcome to all the country has
to give him no matter where he
comes from; but the hereditary luna
tic is world-menace, and as long
as law exists for his discovery and
restriction, it should be made oper-
ative through the deliberate search
of the federal authorities for just
such cases as Beckman's.

WILL 1T PAY ASTORIA?

There is good deal of talk of an
apprehensive sort going the rounds
OF Astoria just now, and the coming
of the steamer Charles R. Spencer
and the results of her invasion of the
A. & c.. 0. R. &. n. and Kamm ter
ritory.
The idea is prevalent that sharp
fight is being programmed for the
swift river liner, and that it will be
precipitated by the coming of the
steamer Baily Gatzert, which will
enter the field with schedule of pas
senger rates lowering about the
"two-bit" limit. while preserving the
freight rates intact; the conclusion is
final and general that such a contre-
temps will be disastrous for this city,
as the sum of local buying will revert
largely to Portland, as it did some
years ago when such a tariff pre-
vailed between this city and that.
The Spencer people are accused OF
hauling potatoes and feed-stuffs at
sharp reduction, while billing them
at the nominal rate, and it is said,
further, that a number of Astoria
merchants are making use of the
abatement. This is to be resented by
the transportation companies and in
a fashion that will mean whole lot
for the Spencer, and the trade of
Astoria; and the logical question
arises, will it pay Astoria to permit
this condition to come to pass".
Every business man here wants to
see the tariffs at the lowest and saf
est points, of course, and will do all
that is reasonable to secure such CON
cessions; but whether it is safe and
sane" to precipitate rate-war that
will take the local dollar to the me-
tropols for its spending, is a matter
of deep significance and should be
weighed well and honestly before it
passes into fact. The sacrifices in
either case had better be measured
very exactly before the river-rate
war is launched; and the loyal As
torian will probably look to it care
fully and in time. And now is the
time

WHY SHOULD WE PAY IT?

1t is evident to all men that the
San Francisco insurance trust is de-
termined to recoup the immense
losses from the earthquake and fire
there two years ago, by piling on
the rates in all Pacific adjacent ter
ritory. 1t is so plain that there is a
general movement throughout the
Northwest to hedge sharply and
quickly against the imposition.
1t is we'll TO be warned and we'll to
prepare for the campaign; for it is
coming, alright. Why should we pay
pay this tremendous exaction when
we are already staggering under a
schedule of rates that is an outrage
approaching sheer robbery. We are
giving millions OF money each year
for the protection that is ours under
the scale, and any increase, suggest
ed, or applied, is to be fought to a
standstill.
1t must be remembered by all in
terested that there are plenty of
non-board companies on the Pacific
Coast now, ready and willing to
carry the risks at the lucrative rates
in existance; and if the trust-board
that headquarters at the Pacific me-
trooplis does not believe it, let it put
out an advanced rate-card and take
careful note of the reaction.
There is a limit to commercial pa
tience and it is time this combine
was ascertaining it. Their very agents
ought to apprise them of it, and, in
many instances we happen to know
they have done so. At all events
there is to be good hard fight put
up in this city if the occasion arises;
and as things seem to be shaping
themselves, it will not be long in
coming; the city has just been re-
surveyed for re-mapping and, of
course, for re-rating, and the word
will be sent down to us all in good
swift time. We must be ready to do
our stunt of rewriting,

Beautiful Cup offered by Sir
Thomas Upton Of ireland
EVENT IS NEXT SATURDAY
Start is From the Brooklyn Yacht
Club, and il is Expected That at
Least Twenty Entries Win be
Made--s2s-Mile Course.

NEW YORK June 20 Eighteen
boats have been entered for the Lip
ton cup ocean yacht race which will
start next Saturday morning from
the Brooklyn Yacht Club. The ent-
ries will not close with the committee
in charge OF this interesting contest
until tomorrow and it is expected that
At least twenty boats will start in the
525 mile race. The only unfortunate
feature about the coming race OF the
Brooklyn Yacht Club is that the cup
to be awarded the victor is not yet
in evidence. Sir Thomas Upton,
who holds many close friendships
with the members OF the club, offered
the trophy year ago, II is to cost
$1,000, but it has not arrived here.
Sir Thomas will be kept informed by
the committee OF the success OF the
race and the name OF the winning
yacht with other details to be sent TO
him Immediately after the result is
known. 1t is said that the coming
race will occupy slightly over three
days. The start will be made at 10
o'clock and the course will be south
ward to Scotland Lightship, to and
around Fire Island, then around the
northwest end OF the light vessel off
Cape May.

MOSQUITOES AND HISTORY.

We learn from excellent authority
that ancient Troy came to an untime
ly end through misplaced confidence
in wooden horse; we are fairly we'll
agreed about the causes of the fall of
Nienveh, Pampeii and San Francisco,
but we have always been a little mix
ed about Rome. Grain and circuses
and baths have, at various times, been
saddled with the responsibility for
Rome's downfall: But we shall have
no more of this idle speculation. We
know all about it now-it was mos
quitoes!
Jones is the prosaic name Of the
man who has made this homely dis
covery. He is an English medical
investigator who has ben digging
around in the ruins of Greece and
Rome. He finds that malaria, car
ried in by industrious, evil-minded
mosquitoes, was the cause of the
physical and intellectual decline Of
these ancient peoples When, there
fore, you see a descendant Of Soph-
ocles selling peanuts, or a modern
Brutus turning grind-organ, do not
reproach him; treat him with kindly
pity. He simply made the mistake
Of having incestors without screen
doors.
You cannot change mosquito ma
ture. Ever since the time of the an
cient Egyptians they have been defy
ing boards of health and pure-food
laws and leaving destruction in their
path. Yet this does not mean that
the New Jerseyites and the Long Is
landers Of to-day will be the fruit
vendors of tomorrow; that the ract
of summer boarders is doomed to ex-
tinction. They are barricading their
windows with screens, they are burn
ing sweet incense in every home in
Hackensack. All over New Jersey
they are draining marshes and sprink-
ling petroleum on ponds and pools.
