Genn Guernsey Tells Of that Charity Show" to be Gve1
by the Four Hundred, and Talks Of the Woman and
the Debate--New York and New Jersey Society
Raymond Hitchcocks Trial

New York, Feb. 21.="We will
send our debating team up to Cor
nell. If we lose We will be ridiculed
for allowing a woman to beat us,
and If we win we will be belittle for
winning from a woman"
So .deposeth the cynical and wo-
manwise Mr.. Woodbury.. president of
the Columbia University Debating
union as he spat reflectively on the
floor while airing his views of
Skirts" in general and Miss Eliza
beth A. Cook in particular.
Miss Cook, it will be remembered,
won place on the Cornell debating g
team, which is to meet the Columbia
team at Ithaca next Friday. The
ungallant Columbians protested
against Miss Cooks debating on the
ground that the more chivalrous
judges might be influenced in their
decision by her presence on the Cor
nell team, regardless.
AS there Is no rule to prevent the
appearance of Miss Cook. the Colum-
bians have accepted the situation
with very bad grace and will play the
game according to rule. The wind
TANNERS of DR.. Buffers institution
of learning would have saved them
selves great deal of ridicule if
they had reached this philosophical
conclusion some time ago, instead of
making a public display of their hot
heads and cold, very cold neither ex-
tremities.
Pity Poor Ole Virginia.
There is an old proverb as to the
proper origin of charity, which / re-
frain from repeating because it was
long since worn out, but which might
be made applicable to the charity
show" to be pulled off by Mrs. Wal
dorf Astoria and other society lead
ers at the Plaza hotel next week. The
entertainment, which promises to be
scream, is for the benefit of the
poor whites of the Virginia noun
tains, to the utter neglect of the poor
whites of the East Side, New York.
Mrs. Astor spent her girlhood days
in the Old Dominion and an apprec-
iative public is informed that "her
sympathies go OUT to the poverty
stricken mountaineers of her native
state. When one considers that the
program of the charity show includes
nine living pictures. four dances and
a pantomine, in which Mrs. Astor
will play Pierrette in lie Reveillon
de Pierrette," and that the costumes
will cost many thousands of dollars,
1t Is impossible to doubt or mistrust
the reticent and transformations spirit
of philanthropy which animates the
leaders of the social Four Hundred.

New York, New Jersey.


Social divisions in the metropolis
are not based entirely on ratings in
Dunn and Bradstreet. The West
Side, the Harlemite looks down upon
the resident of the Bronx and all
Manhattan filings shafts of satire at
the citizen of Brooklyn. And the
butt of all jokes is the lowly person,
who commutes to New Jersey.
There is a story of westerner
who, when asked where he was from,
drew revolver and replied: From
Arkansaw. Now, laugh. darn youi"
In the past, some such forcihle meas
ures would have been necessary to
prevent the Jerseyits from becoming
the object of the plying smiles of
New Workers.
But every dog has his day. The
Jerseyite will have his next Tuesday
when the new North river subway
will be opened with blare of trum-
pets and a flutter of flags and a burst
of subterranean oratory. President
Roosevelt will press button inaug-
urating the ceremonies and Governor
Hughes of New York and Governor
Fort of New Jersey will start from
their respective states at the same
time, meeting on the state line under
the river.
The new tube, it is expected, is
but the predecessor of many others,
which will bring the cities and towns
of North Jersey in closer connection
with the business districts of the me-
tropolis than is the Bronx or Harlem.
With the solving of the transpor-
tation problem, the time is probably
not far distant when North Jersey
will be the site of single city great
er far than Brooklyn and when the
home address of millions of New
Workers. will be, not New Yor, N. Y,
but New York, N. ].

four feet above the water. He was

BIG RED SCHOOL HOUSE

It's worse than a draft of cayenne

color that the school buildings in South
Chicago have been painted The color
used in painting the school buildings
this year is the loudest color that can
be made, and it is red.
A man took a squint at the South

claimed: What is the blamed old com
mission for If they permit the school
houses to be painted in such a ridicul-
Gus color

TRAFFIC IS DELAYED
At EAST CHICAGO
Wrecker From South Chi
cago is Summoned to
Wabash Tracks.

East Chicago, Ind, Aug 31.-Trafic
on the Wabash and Pennsylvania lines
between this city and Chicago was out
OF commission yesterday, due to the
wrecking of a C. l. s. & E. coal car
on the Kennedy avenue crossing of the
c. T. t. road. The Wabash west bound
cars backed to the Lake Shore cross
ing, while the Pennsylvania passengers
and heavy freight used their main line
for all business.
The wreck occurred at o'clock yes
terday morning when c. 1. S. & f.
engine 557, under control of Engineer
w. Forbes, attempted to cross from the
main to the west bound lead, using the
Kennedy avenue switch. The inter-
locking system failed to operate prop
erly and but Is cars reached the west
bound track. The sixteenth was ditch
co, being turned completely around
The rear trucks were practically de-
molished and the rails torn up for a
distance of several yards.
A Pennsylvania slow freight of 40
cars was held up east of the city all
day. until the wreeker, called from
South Chicago, relieved the congested
traffic. The debris, under the guidance
of Roadmaster O'Conners was quickly
cleared away and new rails substituted
for those split by the ditched car. The
train was going but three miles an
hour at the time of the accident, which
accounts for the minimum damage in
hicted.
Brakeman Williams was on the car
Immediately behind that damaged and
had just stepped back when the crash
occurred and the car was thrown side
ways across the track.

Watch Horrifying Contest on
Platform-Crow Bar Used.

Nicholas Videvicm, twenty five years
old, Eighty-ninth street and Green Bay
avenue, died at the South Chicago hos
pital from injuries received in a des-
perate battle on the narrow top of
a blast furnace. $50 feet from the
ground, in the plant of the Iroquois
Iron Company, with Ivan Mealitch. aa
fellow worksr
Struggling to throw eacr other from
the narrow platform into the blazing
furnace, the men fought for fifteen
minutes while the Mortified workers
stood helplessly watching Several
times Mealitch was almost hurled into
the seeting flames by his older oppo-
nent, but, breaking loose for a moment
seized a crowbar and dealt the blow
which ended the battle and resulted in
the death of Vidovicm a few hours
later.
George Detlick, another worker, was
on the platform when the men fought
it out to the death, but he was kept
from interfering by the shouted threats
of the struggling men.
Quarrel Over a Girl.
The feeling between yidovisc and
Mealitch had been bitter for long
time. 1t was said by friends of both
that pretty Polish girl was the cause
of the bitterness. The men had quar-
relied before, and, according to the
story Mealitch told the police after he
had been arresten on the charge of
murder, Vidovicm threatened his life
repeatedly He also says that the older
man started the fight on the chimney
platform by trying to sneak up behind
him and shove him into the flames be-
low. Detlick, the only substantial wit
ness, backs this statement up and says
that Mealitch had to strike the blow
to save his life.
