So far as attending to the garbage was concerned. II had tn easi- est time in my life. There was practi- cally no garbage. The people lived well enough, I guess; anyhow they received packages from the butcher and grocer. but they never seemed to throw anything away.

The real philanthropist of the Bowery is dead, and everyone in the great East Side mourns for him as for the loss of personal friend. for thirty-five years Ralph Davis ran a clothing store on Forsyth Street. and in that time he never turned anyone away who came to him for help. He paid their rents, and doctors bills. gave them food. clothing and furniture and obtained work for the unemployed. Davis was popular with many prominent men. President Roosevelt paid a personal visit to his store some time ago. He looked so much like Richard Croker. the old Tammany "boss" that he was mistaken for him on several occasions. Davis always had a habit of saying. You cam mistake me for the boss of Tammany as often as you like, but never take me for anything but Re- publican. national Republican. sir. that's what I am"
 Not the least interesting feature of the new Metropolitan sky-scraper will be its chimes. Four large bells are to be placed in the forty-sixth story of the gigantic tower, which will be twice as high as any other in the world They will also be the deepest in tone, the heaviest ever assembled in a group and will strike the quarter hour in chime. The noted chimes in Trinity Church. which stands at the head of Wall Street, ring many times during the day, and while they are ringing it Is easy to notice that the hurrying crowd in the financial district walk a little more slowly and generally glance up at the imposing Gothic spire from which they send forth their music.

all taxed to their capacity. The num- Der of apartment hotels where people have their residence during the win ter months has increased rapidly and they cannot apparently be built fast enough to meet the demand of New Yorkers who prefer living in that way to keeping house. There are hundred of hotels. however. scattered through out the city that cater to the transient trade so 1t Is always a surprise to New Workers themselves when an- nouncement Is made of new one that Is to be erected. However. new fashionable hotel is to be constructed on Madison Avenue at Forty-seventh Street to compete with the aristocratic hotels along Fifth Avenue. It is to be built by Robert Walton Goelet. a member of the well known millionaire family by that name. at a cost of s2.- 00o.000 It Is to be called the Ritz Carlton, the same as the fashionable hotel in London.

New York, July 25--There Is no place
 in all the world where a touch of real nature is more appreciated than right
 here in New York. An industrious
 little squirrel in Central Park or
 busy woodpecker on the side of tree
 in City Hall Park never fails to at-
 tract a crowd that oftentimes requires a policeman to disperse. It is this real
 hungry longing of New Workers for something that reminds them of the country. that every day. whether 1t be
 fair or stormy, draws a crowd of a
 hundred or more to the Madison Ave-
 nue side of the Madison Square Gar den. Two score or more pigeons that
 make their home in the crannies of the great tower come down to the street
 every day at noon for dinner of grain that Is sure to be waiting them. The practice of feeding the pigeons was
 that post few years ago, and 1t was
 generally taken up by the business men
 in the vicinity. At just 12 o'clock a
 boy appears with a.. box overflowing
 with oats and immediately the birds
 swoop down upon him. They are very
 tame and are on terms of intimacy with
 many of the men who assemble there
 daily.
 The thousands of New York business men who have their homes in New Jer- sey are going to form themselves into
 a union in order to get better. service from the various railroads. The plan is being developed by the New Jersey State Civic Federation, and already there are hundreds of commuters who
 have signified their intention of ally ing themselves with the cause. The league is formed to take away some of the troubles of fthe commuters. Among the troubles which 1t seeks to abolish are grade crossings. the inopportune opening of drawbridges, the odorous bituminous smoke. stubborn car win dows and tie-ups in the tunnels.
 Among the features of the fashion
 able hotels in Manhatten during the summer months are the attractive roof gardens. Two of the most attractive of these cool spots are on the tops of the Waldorf Astoria and the Hotel Astor. Both are delightfully."- cool and are attractively decorated with flowers and plants of every kind. It is not possible to order from the regular bill of fare on any of the fashionable roof gardens for they serve only drinks, 1 cooling and otherwise, and all kinds of ices. On the Waldorf roof in ad- dition to the orchestra they have just introduced a large photograph which Is concealed behind some palms. The phonograph is always accompanied by 1 the orchestra which drowns any mechanical sound, with the result that the majority of people who visit the roof for the first time are completely fooled and begin to look around. the
 glimpse of the man or woman who Is
 singing.

FATHER REGINALD ON AN
ALLEGED ROMAN OBSERVANCE

Editor Advertiser:-Please allow me
of an alleged baptism of Jewish child
which appeared in your paper of May
18th.
It is stated there that ''in the Mid
die Ages. on Holy Thursday, the Jews
used to be driven to church, where
they were forced to go through a cere-
mony of conversion, the only relic of
this practice in modern Rome being the
baptism of Jewish child on Holy
Saturday in the church of St John
Lateran.''
To correct this misstatement it will
doubtless suffice to quote the follow
ing authorities:
The Council of Toledo (held in $3.50
prescribes concerning the Jews. that
henceforth none of them shall be
coerced to embrace Christianity for thew
are not to be saved against their will"
(can. SD
Henceforth. says the Council, because
King Sisebut had promulgated a law
obliging the Jews to receive baptism.
ST Isidore of SevilIa blames the king
saying that his zeal was not in ac
cordanca with the teaching of the
Church.
St Thomas of Aqufno G2 27-127D IN
his Summa Theological treating the
question whether it is lawful to bap-
tie the children of the Jews. answers
it as follows: IF the children of in
fideIs are not the arbiters of their own
affairs. they are under the care of their
parents as long as they cannot pro-
vide for themselves: and therefore It
would be against the natural law TO
baptize such children against the will

THE POLICE AND
THE GAMBLERS
A Correspondent Thinks the
Big Places Are Being
Protected.
Honolulu, May 10, 1908

Editor dvertiser:-Certain persons
connected with the police department
are endeavoring to create capitaI-and
campaign prestige-out of the assump-
ton and claim tnat the present admin
istration has made success in the
work of controlling gambling on the
island of Oahu. That the police have
been most energetic in arresting small
Offenders-bOth in Honolulu and in
the outside districts of Oahu-must be.
and is, admitted; but what has been
done in the way of apprehending large
gambling concerns-such as the place
on Vineyard street, which was sup
posed to be protected by the last ad-
ministration and is plainly being
well, overlooked, to say the least. by
the present? This notorious rendez-
Vous was frequented by a late judge of
the Circuit Court, other government
and police officials, and today the sit
uation remains very much the same
Certainly gambling has not ceased
there. In fact it goes on day and
highland is not molested in any off,
cial way.
What, though. is the case with other
places? The police make spectacular
raids in Eva, Koolau, other country
districts and in quiet localities of Ho-
nolulu where merely pastinfe games
are played, for, or not for, small
amounts; while places like the big one
referred to is allowed to run on and
on without molestation. Is there sense,
or is there justice, in such a policy?
We think not. If gambling is to be
suppressed, or controlled, let the police
go first after the large concerns that
are in it as a business proposition and
for large revenues. 1t is not the small |
man-who goes into it largely for
sport-that does the harm. 1t is the /
big manipulation, who is even able to |
hypnotic the police, court judges and |
Federal officials, who needs attention |
He has not had it in the past and is |
not receiving it now.
The point is, Mr.. Editor, that atten- |
ton of officials should be turned to the |
large places-one of which | have /
pointed out to you in sufficiently plain |
terms. Begin at the top and work |
down. The job will be found easier
and the results far more satisfactory. |
Yours truly,
FAIR PLAY. i

dent won clearly, after having sum-
moned a number of Democratic and
Republican representatives to the
White House. On the heels of this de-
cfsive victory he began to make last
ditch fights on all his other legislative
propositions. The Speaker had to take
notice of this belligerent attitude. The
House Democrats were ready to join
with administration Republicans to
make a majority to pass other meas
ures the President wants. These Demo-
Gratis had, along with the President,
scored when the $3.50 900 amendment
was forced through and they were ac-
cordingly all the more eager to en-
courage the warfare within the Repub-
lican party
Representative Townsend, OF Michi-

ministration forces on the floor of the
House. naturally got himself cordial
ly disliked in the Speakers private
room. This. however did not feeze
him and he started out to organize for
other measures that the President
wanted. The Speaker took note of all
that and before long it became known
that steps We're being taken to carry
the administration measures before a
conference of House Republicans. Two
of those conferences are being held
this week. One Tuesday night will be
over the compromise currency bill, au-
thorizing clearing house commissions.
Another Thursday will be upon amend
ments to the Sherman antitrust law
and upon anti-injunction bills.
The Speaker said he was willing to
submit these or any other measures to
Republican conference of the House.

tice of the Church to baptize the

LXVITD. Pope Benedict XIV forbids
in his constitution of Febr. %, 1747, to
baptize the children of fnfidels without
the knowledge and consent of their
parents. To do so. he says, would not

of the Church, but also against the
natural law"
The discipline of the Roman Catholic
Church has not changed on this point:

Ages, it has been forbidden to bap-
tie the children of Jewish parents. UNI

As to the actual annual baptism of a
Jewish child in Rome, if it happens at
all. we may feel quiet about it How
could Pope make an attempt to thus
violate the rights of Jewish parents
