controversies through arbitration; to promote in

GENERAL WOODHULL AND JAY.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The removing of George Clinton's body from
Washington TO Kingston and his reburial in that
city as the first elected Governor OF New York
State under the organic law, would seem almost to
ignore the important part played in the Revou-
tionary drama by Nathaniel Woodruff and John
Jay at White Plains. The most brave and i'm
portant step was for New York TO declare herself
q state May not hear from you again upon
the matter and will you not give General Nathaniel
woodruff the brave fearless and gallant officer
who was SO soon to forfeit his life upon the altar
of freedom some commendation, and John Jay
the diplomat Judge and brilliant statesman. the
credit due him?
What has White Plains been thinking of all these
wears? With a glorious past to bestrew with
laures and the heroic strength of noble martyrs TO
strengthen dignity. she seems to be willing 10

Not the Whistlers, but That of the One Who
Hears It, Says Physician.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A number Of letters published recently COM
plain about whstling In the streets, in cars and
other places It is said complaints made to
the Anti-Nose Society about whistiing About the
irritating and disagreeable of all noises is
mouth whistIing except when the whistler is an
expert But most persons who whistle in public
are not experts; they simply make offensive
noise. Such noise unpleasant sensations
and in many cases injurious effect.
One person has more right, either morally or
legally, unpleasant sensations or Injurious
effects by means of noise that be avoided than
by any other means. One person has no more right
to whistle where the sound will strike the nerves
of another person than individual has to slap
another in the face. Many persons would be less
injured and less panied by slap in the face than
by being compelled to listen to whistling.
The pain and discomfort caused by whistlins in
public affords sufficient for stopping IT, but
in addition is injury to the health of a large
number of people. 1t irrtates or disorders the
nerves which control involuntary functions, such
as digestion and consequently interferes with and
retsrds the processes of digestion.
AS whistling is annoying and offensive to those
Injurious to health the person who whistles in
public violates the law penal Code, Section 1850.
AS noise is distressing in itself 10 many people,
and as result injurious to health, 1t would
that the police might give little attention to
stopDne at least some of the disagreeable and
least necessary kinds of noise. Whisting is dis
tinctly of these. PHYSICIAN.

least one gave the impression that a slice of Con
necticut plug cut would help some. but had
the nerve to start In
The Rev. Frederick B. Pulan. pastor of the
church, however, conducted a nice little informal
service, at which he announced the privi-
legged to keep their hats on. and everybody could
remain seated during the singing of the DoxOlogy.

those who sat in the grass. Governor Fort came
over in his automobile with a friend and right

Many other automobiles up ard stopped out

held, but the congregation seemed 10 be, for the
most part, composed Of persons who lived in the
