Opinions of Others.

I never yet knew any man so bad
but some have thought him honest and
afforded him love; nor any one so
good but some have thought him vile
and hated him. Few are so thorough
ly wicked as not to be estimable to
some; and few are so just as not to
seem unequal; ignorance, envy and
partiality enter much into the opinions
we form of others. Nor can man,
in himself, always appear alike to all.
In some, nature has made disparity;
in some, report has blinded judgment,
and in others accident is the cause of
disposing us to love or hate.-Owen

BOY BURNED BY WIRE
THAT FELL IN STREET.
Stanley Allen Has
Narrow Escape
from Death.

Rpecidl TO the EVENING NEWS.
Tottenville, May 29:- Stanley AL
len, five-and-a-half years old, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. George P. Allen, Of 10
Eprague avenue, had narrow escape
from being electrocuted by live
wire of the Richmond Light & Rail-
road Company, while playing in front
of his home yesterday afternoon.
The boy had gone across the street
to give his little playmate, Alice Jo-
line, five years old, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Emmett Joline, of Amboy
avenue, some candy.
AS he stepped from the curb. he
grasped live wire that had broken
and fallen to the street. The shock
threw him to the ground.
The screams of little Alice were
heard by Mrs. Allen, who ran across
the street and, at the risk of her own
life, caught the boys clothing and
pulled him away from the wire. Mrs
Allen carried him into the house in
an unconscious condition.
Patrolman Eugene Newman, who
resides nearby, telephoned for ply.
sieians and Dr. Coleman, DR.. Wash
ington and DR.. Meyers succeeded In
bringing the boy back to conscious.
ness. It was found that his hand
was burned to the bone. There were
marks on the back of his head, his
left elbow and his feet. That he wal
not killed was almost a miracle.
1t is thought that the insulation OF
the wire was only worn off In small
places, which probably saved him. DR.
Washington, who is attending this
lad, has every hope for his recovery
The broken wire was reported tc
the electric light company and was
soon repaired. Mrs. Robert Burgess
and her mother, Mrs. George Reese
of 80 Sprague avenue, who heard the
little girl scream, ran to where tht
boy was. but Mrs. Allen reached hin
just ahead of them.

The first piece Of legislation TO win
support froIn the new Boston Socia /,
| Union, federation of all the unsecta-
rian settlem ent houses la Boston, in
that providing for the elimination from
the saloon of the bottle, can, and
'tgrowIcr" trade. The testimony of a
long list of patient, constructive social
| workers had much to do with securing
the report from the committeon liquor
law, by he decisive vote OF I to 4 III
favor Of the bill. One Of the strongest
points in the testimony is that it rep.
resents ALTO the sseertained feeling OF
large numbers Of working people in
these settlement neigbborhoods. This
bill intended to abolish the degrading
practice Of women going into saloons,
often accompanied by children. Every
social worker and ever~ officer Of the
law knows that drunkenness among
wives and mothers is seriously on the
In crease. The legislature is asked this
year to begin building what must be
ere long considerable institution for
female inebristes.
The bill would put an end to the
practice o. supplying man enough
liquor over the bar to get him half
drunk, and then seeing that purchases
enough "bottlc goods" to complete the
job. In particular this state Ct things
affects peace and order on Sunday,
and for many industries means bad
start on Monday morning.
