F. Hopkinson Smith denounces New
York as the most insoIent city on the
face OF the earth, apparently on the
ground that people in New York are in
a hurry, and. being in a hurry, neglect
some Of the little amenities of social
intercourse. says Minneapolis Journal
This is far from making his case. In
science may be of two kinds, the in
science of hurry. and the insolence of
leisure. We have in this country prac-
dcally none of the latter. 1t springs
from the presence of class of society
upon which another class waits. We
lack this in America. where outside of
sleeping car porters and the negligible
class OF walters in restaurants where
the dishes are more notable than the
food. every man works for what he
gets and gets only what he works for.
One must go to the lands where the
tip has blossomed to reach the acme
of insolence. In America it is only in
the bud. Would that it might be
nipped there.

THIS "RoosTER" LAYS EGGS
Hen With Comb and Spurs Of coekerei
Causes Agitation Among PouI-
try Experts.

Ithaca. N. Y.-When the poultry ex.
perts at the State College of AgricuL
ture at Cornell got word the other day
from F. r. Glover of Isle, N. Y. that
he had rooster that laid eggs, they
told him to hurry the bird here or he
would have to show them.
Glover said that he was SO sure the
bird was a rooster that he had cut of
the comb and wattles and prepared to
put spurs on 1t when it laid an egg
On the way here another egg was laid
The experts said the fowl was a hen
but they had never seen one with suct
masculine markings.

CONTROL OF THE AIR.

Who owns the air? That question
Will have to be decided one OF these
days. both in relation to airships and
to wireless telegraphy and telephony
With airships 1t still remains an aca-
demic question, but 1t is live issue
on the Atlantic coast in connection
with the telegraph, says Indianapolis
Star. Amateur operators. some of
them with high-power stations. are
very numerous. and they assume that
they have right to use their appara-
tus at any time. The most of them
are boys without a sense of RESPONSE
bility, and many are mischievous. Be-
cause of these complaints a Massa-
chusetts member of congress proposes
that some action be taken to regulate
this form of telegraphy. His plan is
for the president to appoint a board of
experts. which shall formulate rules
TOR the control of its operations. these
rules later to be submitted to con-
gress to be enacted into law. This
plan meets with approval. but strong
opposition to It has developed. It
might be thought that amateur opera.
tors could not muster much strength,
but they have certain commercial in
terests behind them. 1t is estimated
that there are not less than 10000 anna
teur wireless stations In the United
States with the number growing rap
idly. New York city has thousand.
Boston $50. and they are especially nu-
merous along the coast. where are
many regular stations and much COM
munication with ships. The dealers
In wireless apparatus are interested in
encouraging the demand and are op-
posed to the regulation suggested.

The woman who loves will not need to be told
how best to say '.yes" The vacating woman has no
right to allow man to propose to her and accept him
temporarily because she cannot make up her mind to
tell HIM the truth There perhaps may be cases where
woman is justified in accepting sutton for whom
she only feels sincere liking and respect, provided she
is frank with him and he is content, but the woman
who says yes merely because she is tired of saying
no makes grave mistake, for which she is sure to-
pay dearly later on LET your yea be yea and your

1T is extremely important in homes
where a contagious disease has broken
out that milk bottles are not returned eX-
cept with the knowledge of the attending

by him. Neglect in such cases often is
the direct cause of epidemics, especially
among infants.
IF all the members of community act
in common on this question the mortality
will be amazingly reduced, for when the
dealers know that clean milk only is &C
ceptable, they will make their dairies

Boston reduced the mortality among in
fants nearly 3S per cent and in Chicago
an even 80 per cent. Now that Washing

NEW TRIAL REFUSED
INSPECTOR M'CANN
illinois Supreme Court Acts in
Case of Convicted Chi
cago Police Official.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Octobr 2S.-The
Supreme Court today affirmed the judy
fnent Of the criminal court of Cook coun-
ty against McCann In the appeal for a
new trial Of former Police Inspector Ed
ward Mccain Of Chicago.
McCann was convicted Of accepting
brides for protection" from gamblers
and denizens Of the under world in the
Desplaines street district. Specifically he
was found guilty Of accepting bride of
1910 from Frank Bros, owners Of sew
eral illegal houses.
Inspector Mccain was not only one of
the best Informed men in the police de-
partment, but an athlete as we'll. He
rose In I'VE years from the rank Of ser
geant to command of the largest police
division Of the city.
Got Large Sums, It Is Said.
The Frank brothers. julius and Louis,
who had grown wealthy In the saloon
business and other pursuits peculiar to
the ''Tenderloin" districts, were the prin-
cipal witnesses against the defendant
Immense sums are alleged to have been
collected by McCann. The gathering OF
immunity money Is said to have been
pursued in systematic and businesslike
fashion. There was, 1t Is alleged. a reg
ular schedule of prices.
1t is not believed that all of the thou
sands Of dollars collected went to Nc.
Cam. An interesting development Of the
affirmation Of his conviction may be a
search for men higher up" who are sup.
posed to have received the bulk of the
money.
In the lower court McCann was SEN
fenced TO serve from one to five years
Pending appeal. he was admitted to bal
Ia the sum OF $5o. 900 Eleven indictment,
