PHIADELPHIA'S STRIKE WAS
EXPENSIVE AFFAIR.

With the return OF most Of the
striking Philadelphia carmen to the
service of the Rapid Transit Company
the indications are favorable TO the be
ginning Of a new relationship between
the corporation and its employees which
VIII mean an Improvement IN the
operation Of the system
In terminating the controversy, each
side apparently appreciates the mutual
advantage of cordial relations So far
as the management OF the company Is
concerned, it has offered terms which
require only the fulfIlment Of them
in good faith to regain the confidence
of the men So far as the men are
concerned, they have given assurances
that in the performance Of their work
in future they viii make 1t plain to
the company that it has nothing to
lose, but very much to gam, by fair
Treatment.
It must be evident that, from every
point of view, the strike was a most
cpstly affair At a conservative esti-
MAKE, it cost the Rapid Transit Com
pany 3, 275, 900; upon the other side it
meant a loss in wages TO carmen and
industrial Gorkers Of 100000 and
more This tremendous loss does not
include the millions lost directly and
indirectly by the general public
The lessons to be drawn from the
Philadelphia controversy are clear The
general public must be impressed with
the fact that, judged from the expert
enee OF the Quaker City in the last
eight weeks, strike is not only to be
regretted as a means TO an end, but .

Insurgency" a. viewed by the

THE LIFE-STORY BEHIND THE
DERELICTS.

In New York the census man is this
week learning the 1ife-stories OF the
homeless derelicts whose only habita-
ton Is a bench IN one of the many
parks OF the city. The enumerstor on
ms rounds viii encounter many strange
and thrilling tales, brought out incl
dentaIly rather than directly by the
questions required by law, but nowhere
viii he find so much of pathos and
tragedy as in the parks where the
down-and-out clubs hold permanent
session There are ten thousand units
IN this human hotsam- and while there
are a few homeless wanderers in ST
cities, they cannot compare with the
number OF those who make up a
striking feature OF life in the crowded
metropolis. Already the census taker
has found a former United States
minister living IN abiect poverty. and
the life history behind many others
viii no doubt prove siabsorbing. The
human-interast stories behind the CEN

TIDE TURNS TOWARD AMERI-
GAN HUSBANDS.

The marriage Of Mss Marjorie Gould
and Anthony J. DTexeI, IT.. permits
more spontaneous expression Of the
sentiments which such an occasion
should inspire than Is ordinarily the
case, and indicates that the title mar
ket has become dull and featureIess. -
1t IS an occasion when The voice that
bTesthed DER Eden does not have to

comprehension Of the bridegroom, and
the amiable gossip OF the wedding
breakfast Is not interrupted BY the
haggling Of the marriage settlement.
The groom brings a competency and a
distinguished name, and the family Of
George J. Gould has shown up well in
that fierce light which beats upon
financial eminence- There are a girlish
charm and freshness about the daugh-
ter Of the house which have won the
wholesome esteem OF all who know her.
Cofncident with this wedding comes

DINNERS WITH ROYALTY ONE
HOUR LONG.

When Colonel Roosevelt dined with
the aged Emperor Of Austria he WAS
receiving hospitality from the most
august and punctiIious court in Europe.
The entertainment took the form Of a
dinner, and It is a notable fact shat
It lasted just one hour
It was in striking contrast with the
dinners given IN this country, where
the interval between the oysters and
the cheese Is frequently four hours or
more. In such circumstances II is i'm
possible that good digestion should wait
on appetite and health on both. As a

and do not last so long But there Is
still ample room for reform.

OF ELECTION OF
RAVENS OVER ALDRIDGE.

Fully as surprising as the recent VIC
tory of Eugene y Foss in the Four
teenth Massachusetts, district, Is the
outcome of the election Tuesday in the
Thirty New York district, where
James s. HaYens was elected over
George ". Aldridge by a majority Of
nearly 5000. Mr.. Ravens Is a Demo-
crat, and he has carried by this huge
figure a district that in 1908 elected
James Breck Perkins, Republican, by
more than 10000 votes. This means a
change OF about 5000 votes
Mr.. Aldridge has for twenty years
been the Republican boss OF Monroe
county, which is the Thirty second dis
trict. This county includes the great
ma manufacturing city OF Rochesue-. He
had a superb organization, and, relying
on this, despite his objectionable politi-
cal record. he forced his own nomina-
ton, confident he would be elected.
The developments show that Mr. AID
ridge was a. completely blind TO the
reuI sentiments Of the voters as many
OF the men who have for years been
leading Congress and the Republican
party in national way are now to the
real feeling that stirs the people IN
many parts Of the nation
Now. the talk Is heard that Aldridge
was beaten on local issues This Is
absurd. It Is idle, too, TO say the result
was expected While 1t was widely
feIt the outcome was doubtful, the
chances we're looked on as in favor Of
AIdri0ge. An overwhelming Hsvens We
tory was not anticipated anywhere by
observers Of the situation from with
out ne district. The campaign was
made by Ravens on a tariff reform
platform. While Rochester Is a manu-
featuring center, among the manufac-
tuTeTs themselves there Is hostility TO
the wooden schedule, and in other re-
sPeets the tariff law Is opposed Can
nonism also cut a figure in the cam
psign. Mr.. Ravens struck out against
bossism in every form. regardless Of
party, and this had weight with the
voters.
1t Is true that Aldridge admitted TAX
ing a check for LOCO from an agent u
FIRE Insurance companies IN connection
with insurance developments at Albany
It Is also true that AldTidge Is anti
Hughes and the supporters or the
governor were Unfriendly TO HIM on
that account These matters cost AID
ridge many votes. But they % not
