THAT cELLULoID FACTORY.

II is n sickeRlng and disgraceful story
which comes from Brooklyn-that OF the
fire I'm Columbia street. In building
only three stories high. In broad day
light and In perfect calm. nile per
sons suffered the most horrible OF all
deaths, ana fully as many more were
badly burned or injured. Exit through
the windows was made impossible by
bars, Ike those Of prison. anu there
were no fire escapes in front. The in
dustry conducted in the building. the
manufacture of cellnloid and ''hbre.oid'
exposed its occupants 10 exceptonal
peril. The extremely inlammable-char-
aeter of these substances Is a matter OF
common knowledge. and IL demands the
adoption Of extraordinary precautions for
tie safety OF those who produce and
handle IT,
That death trap ike the one just
destroyed could exist in civilized coin
muniiy is amazing. Its character must
have been known 10 the Building and
Fire departments Of the ciiy govern
ment Situated rs II was in the heart of
the tenement district Of Brooklyn, il was
q standing menace To hundreds Of per
sens besides those employed in it, iC
Is hard 10 find fitting language 10 con
desnn the neglect of the municipal au-
thorities who tolerated such a danger.
As for the owners of the factory. who
were undoubtedly aware Of the risk 10
which their employees and neighbors
were exposed. they have heavy bur
den Of responsibility tc bear. The cne
who persisted in the flames may be ac-
counted fortunate.

Reports received 10y the Public Service
Commission On the local transportation
service during the crowded period OF the
HuGsOn-Fulton celebration suggest that
serious accidents during that time of ex-
oepilonal stress were like the traditional
snakes IN Ireland. There were none.
For eight days the various subway.
elevated and surface lines carried nearly
six million passengers a day without a
single fatal accident, and not one Of the
twenty minor accidents which did occur
was attributable 10 the abnormal con
restion due 20 the celebration. IN brief.
there was Lot a single lIudson-F Fulton
accident.
Now. the number 0f passengers carried
IN those eight days was more Than one
twentieth as many as those who are
carried on all the steam railroads Of the
United States in a year. and the death
ron of the latter service is about twelve
thousand. II the local service had had
as many accidents as the railroads gen
orally have. there wOuid have been
something Ike six Hundred persons killed
and thousands injured. instead OF none
killed and only tWeni- injured.

Governor Hughes's judicial appoint
ments TO all the vacancies caused by
the retirement of Mayor-eleet Gaynor
from the bench measure up 10 his usual
high standard. Harrington Putnam. the
new justice OF the Supreme Court. is
one OF the ablest and most highly re-
speeted admiralty lawyers in this city
but his legal attainments and experience
have not been confined to a sinf,e branch
OF the law. He is a Democrat who has
long been active in movements for 90
litical reform and in public works of
a non-political nature. In character.
learning and temperament he is al
mirably qualified for the bench. Justice
Thomas. who is designated for service
in the Appellate Division 20 succeed
Justice Gaynor, has well earned that
honor. Both in the Federal District
Court. 70 which he was appointed by
President Mckinley. and in the State
Supreme Court. 10 which he was after
ward elected. he has displayed judicial
qualities Of a high order.

A New Word Singer.

John j. Ingalls, long held the
palm in Kansas for artistic word
juggling. Now comes a new lance
in the arena. an unknown lawyer
from PittSburg. who wrote the fol-
lowing in a brief in a real estate
case:
1T may not be good form and
taste to overleap the gross and
scope Of the record with a recrudeS-
cent alluslon to the tragedies that
closed the daring duplicates of the
defendant. He was a real estate
agent and dealt in that silent and
inSenSate commodity which has al
ways opened a fertile field for the
field for the inSidiOus Vaccinations
of the predal ravens who prey upon
the plastic susceptibilities of trust
ing and confiding innocence. For
titled with an almost irresistible
magnetism. he ranged the limit of
his trade with guiless liberty in
search of easy marks for his potent
graft.
But long before the soothing
hand of equity scrolled the recusant
decree in this case he was under
sentence of 10years for forgery and
before the grim sentence Of the
law laid its cold and repulsive
clutch upon his recreant bulk he
was assassinated by another victim
of his subtle calling

This reluctant reference TO his
