COLD COMFORT.

The efforts and the failures of dwell- CTS in New York flats to get heat enough furnish a prolific subject and some revenue for the funny men" They may even find something to try to laugh at in the decision which has just been made by the appellate di- vision of the New York Supreme court. A municipal court had award ed damages to a tenant suing his land lord for failure to heat an apartment, but the higher court holds that the tenant has no basis for such claim. It holds that, while the failure of a landlord to provide heat is sufficient ground for the tenant to break his lease and move out, so long as he re- mains in the apartment he has noire- dress.
 This may be good law, but there is nothing good in it for the poor ten ant who supposed he had rented a place to live in and not an ice factory. Perhaps, though, the law is merciful in such a case in that it does not say to stay and pay even if there isn't any heat. New York landlords. while feel ing somewhat cheered by the decision, will probably not feel cheered enough

FIGHTING BOB" EVANS.

The President and certain others whose influence with congress is a power to be reckoned with are quietly working, so we are told, for the re- establishment of the old rank of vice admiral in the navy and for the imme- diate bestowal of that title on Fight ing Bob Evans upon the completion of his long and successful cruise around the continent with the lions share of the American navy at his back. The measure will undoubtedly prove popular one, for it is safe to say that Fighting Bob holds as warm spot in the hearts of most Americans as does he who holds the title of admiral. The very un-Chris- tian name he goes by, Fighting Bob, ." cannot but appeal to the young ele- ment of our population much more than can the commonplace George" Shakespeare to the contrary with lis dissertation upon Whats in a name :" Then, too, the gentleman in question never was backward in coming for ward and the title of rear admiral seems singularly inappropriate for ono who, like him, has looped- d-the-looo around the horn twice that he might not be in the rear" in an emergency. The fleet will reach San Francisco in charge of four rear-admirals, the only one of which who is weil-known to tho public generally is Fighting Rob The British home fleet, in it's maneu- vers last fall, was commanded by no less than one admiral, three vjce-ad- mirals, seven rear-admirals and one commodore. Certainly we can have one rear-admiral in our service. espeoial- ly when we have man who so ft- tingly deserves it as does Fighting Bob We half suspect that our i,y,- nile readers of dime novels. lovers of latter-day heroism that they are, i'll rise up in their might and demand through their fathers and elder broth CTS, that honor be given where hooor IS deserved

MOVING ON.

March 'came in all right, but she didn't stay in right, that is. according to the notion of those who consider sunshine more right than snow, sleet and rain. We have been notified by Prophet Johnson that during the ear ly part of this month the planets will be in a position similar to that occu- pied by them at the time of the great blizzard of 1888. This looks ominous, whether it is or not, and we have al- ready had some weather that might as we'll be laid to the planets as to any body or anything They can stand it. just as they have stood much that has been laid to them, They haven't exact ly remained unmoved, but they have kept right on moving, Let us initiate the planets We have already moved on to the third day of March. and we shall soon have moved on to the 31st day Then joy will be right ahead beckon- ing, and we shall feel inspired to keep moving on to where the grass gently waves and the flowers cheeringly bloom.

AN UNEXPECTED TURN.

Not long ago we were reading how extremely useful potato alcohol was going to be in Germany. Now the story Is that it is extremely harmful It appears that the production of pota- to alcohol in Germany gravitated in to the control of trading company. 7 or trust, which limited the production to S2 per cent. of the capacity of each still, and fixed much higher price based upon the reduced supply. The influence of the'trust seemed to result In diminution of the quantity dena- tured, and about two-thirds was used for drinking purposes At the public drinking places one can buy a wine glass of alcohol for cent and half
 As a result of these developnents there is a reform movement agitated by citizens, who would have the alco- hol business made a government mo-

coop WORDS IN KANSAS CITY.

If the right words are picked out and adroitly used much can be done or prevented with them Kansas City is waking up to this solemn truth. It appears that great many people in official position in Kansas City have been busy for years in gathering data" II is pointed out that every thing, from the lamented new union depot down to an unfinished city hos pital. has been at a standstlll while this or that official or board has been gathering data. If was this obstacle that retarded the building of a pub lie comfort station at the Junction, al- though that enterprise was simple matter and in private hands could have been built and in use within a few months after its inception. A modern system of street cleaning has been lost sight of in the maze of data gathering, as has also the garbage incinerating plant and the filtration system proposed as part of the mu- nicipaly owned water works.
 The Kansas City Journal rises to de- mand that some of the data which have been gathered at great expense be now made useful It is a reason- able demand, but 1t may be met with cred in order that those already gath cred may be put in shape to use.

NEW FIRE HEADQUARTERS.

New Haveners generally have look ed on with interest of late while the heads of the New York fire dep 'rt- ment have been revealing disastrous curld:t:ons there as regards the sys- tenn of fire alarms and other matters of importance to a well-equipped fire fighting department.
 But those that live in glass houses do not laugh best, as the little boy said The fact is that the same cnndi- tion of antiquated fire alarms is just being brought to our notice at home here in our own New Haven by Super intendent James Grant, who has 1t is he who points out the absolute necessity there is that the fir' alarm system should bc taken from its lres- ent headquarters in the city hall and lodged in another and fire-proof building. Too much stress cgrno' tt laid upon an efficient, quick, and sure fre-alarm system. Just to 'uppnse it had failed to work at the critical time last Friday when the Grace hospital blaze was discovered brings suggcs~ tions of the most dire lind Ii has bet n  hinted that the inspectors of ths Ma tional Board of Fire Underwater To have been recently in this ciy making thorough investigation or the condi- tions in the fire department, vii make the recommendation, when their ra- port goes in, that an entire new sys. tenn of fire alarms be installed in :'w Haven. Not only should tho wires have their central station in a fire proof building, which the city hall is far from being, but the whole system of box circuits needs to be reins.alled. The present system was put in when ANtN iidNti iieiu but stiiii y uit boAcs, III 1868, Much of the original apparatus still does service In 1885 the system was reorganized to some extent to al- low for no boxes. To-day thefe arc 225 boxes, making it necessary that In one instance twenty-seven of them must be put on one circuit, where the limit should not be more than ten CT twelve
 Aside from any fre-alarm difficult ties, if has long been the belief of the department that it should have its own central office in it's own building as does the police department With the room at present at it's disposal in the city hall building the department is very much cramped The true note has been sounded and the time seems ripe to stop poking fun at New York and to start reforming at home Super intendent Grant suggests a fire head quarters to be built at cost of s25,- 900, The suggestion may present itself as a good one to the business men of the city when they realize that, if the house is not had, there is every likeli- hood that an advance in the insurance rates may he made at any moment.

PIGEONS OF PEACE NOW.

There's always something interest ing going on in England's naval affairs. Just now it is the discontinuance of the British naval pigeon service The British naval pigeons have been use ful They have been doing on a small scale what the wireless telegraph ser vice does now. They could fly sixty miles an hour with message, and though once in awhile one failed to get home they were pretty reliable But they are no longer needed. Now adavs battleship can easily keep in wireless communication with Rame head, near Plymouth, while voyagine to Gibraltar. or even to parts of the Mediterranean
 As the dove is usually thought of as bird of peace, with olive branches, etc, in it's mouth, it is congruous that it is not to be any longer part of England's military outfit. It might more fitly fly back and forth from The Hague carrying the messages of peace which are going to be issued there from time to time when the of the great military powers meet there.

We might question the political value of this counsel, but we should be unable to question it from the point of view of practical philanthropy. The desire 10 relieve a distressing situation is always present with man who is worth his salt, but that desire, in or ,er to be intelligentiy applied, must be well considered If such consideration should lead to a temporary lowering of the official wage in order to employ a larger number of men, and if at the same time the emergency fund might be used in hastening public improve ments upon the same principle, only benefit could result
 The situation is at best a distressing one, which of itself makes it all the more one to be met with intelligently distributed common sense. There is an
