 Jacob Riis tried to get the United States government to take some action in the matter. and adopt this Christmas stamp, but a special act of congress was found to be necessary, However, the Red Cross of Delaware took it up for the first time In America last year and In eighteen days sold nearly 100000 stamps Someone has written, Each stamp is 2 bullet In the fight against tubcrculosls.'

TROLLEY LODGING.
IMiddlctCvn SuuO

A New Haven trolleyman complains because since the recent automobile ac- cldents in that city people make haste for the sidewalk at the sound of the auto horn while they pay little or no attention to the trolley gong. This s simply explained and should not ex- cite the Jealousy Of fife trolleyman. pcdestrlans know just where the trolley is going 10 pass, and it is easy to figure on crossing the tracks before it arrives. But no one can ever tell where an au- tomobile Is going to strike and no one after recent experiences In this state cares to guess on 1t. It Is far more prudent 10 seek safety in flight than Co take chances trying to dodge one of these modern iuggernauts in action

Must G0fO Prison.

THE captain Of the steamer General Slocum,
which burnt to the waters edge several years ago
while carrying an excursion party and entailing a
loss of thousand lives has been denied new trial
and must serve ten years in prison. the sentence
that was imposed by the lower Acourt. Captain
Shack is seventy years old, and it is doubtful
whether be will live to complete his term. The
who commanded it, were never indicted in connec
ton with this horrible tragedy They were as cog
infant of the requirements of the navigation laws
Mr. Shack was presumed TO be- and therefore as
cupable The same is true of the inspector whose
business it to see that such steamers prop
erly equipped With life preservers, fire apparatus
|etc.
The fate of this gray haired captain should
prove lasting warning to owners and commanders
of such steamers the General Slocum. Atho these
owners may congratulate themselves on their narrow
escape from the penitentiary, they will not be SO
fortunate when they appear before that higher court
where technicalites and influential friends have no
weight whatsoever It is very likely that if Captain
Shsick had not been poor man he would
have left shore with such ancient lot of fife pre-
servers on board. Furthermore the owners might
have known that such old man incompetent
to handle steamer carrying thousands of excursion
lists, matter what his past record might have been.
Captain Shack undoubtedly guilty of gross neg
ligence in the performance of his duty but why not
include the others also?
