After an hour at the police station
count de Beaufort was released on $500
bail a charge of disorderly conduct
was made against him by N. Mcdonnell,
assistant superintendent of the hospital.
The disturbance at the hospital oc-
cured when De Beaufort insisted on en-
tering the room in which his wife is
confined in spite OF an order given by
her father that he should be debarred.
The count refused to heed the order,
into the room. When attendants pre-
vented him, the count is alleged TO
have threatened them
The Countess de Beaufort has been
in the hospital for several weeks. Her
arrival there was accompanied by some
mystery, and for days hospital attend
ants and Count de Beaufort denied that
she was at the institution. Finally a
statement was made that the count
ess had been seriously injured by a fan
down stairway at their home in Mich
lgan avenue.
The same day Count de Beaufort
made a statement that he had been at
tackled by negro near the Ktlgallen
home and beaten about the face Mr..
kilgalien followed this with a state
ment that the count had hurt his face
while shaving. An extended newspaper
investigation only deepened the mys-

Almost the same day a letter 10 a
Chicago newspaper from the publishers
of the Alnianach Gotha brought news

THE LESSON TAUGHT BY PHILADELPHIA.

11a HE example of Philadelphia may prove Il salutary one Tor
other large cities. The miseries Of that city flow from bad
and corrupt government supported 10y a great majority OF the
voters. The civic spirit is lamentably lacking. Business men gener
ally neglect public affairs and take no interest in politics. They give
scant support TO reform organizations and candidates. The men
who are in power have no check upon them, and they control every
thing, including The public utilities. The traction company IN Phlla
deIphia is virtually a part of the political machine, and three repre-
sentatives of the machine are officially members of the traction
board of managers. The strike grew out of the Vaccinations OF the
political leaders before the city election in February, and IT has
been aggravated by them. Little care these men for the people OF
the city. The example of Philadelphia teaches the value of good
local government to all elements and interests. and the terrible cost
of bad government. 1t shows that a city can have good or bad
government, just as its people choose. If the people choose the bad
they may expect political brigandage, they must endure great evils,
they must consent to sacrifices and losses, and finally they need not
be surprised to find their city in a state of anarchy. If the occur
rences in Philadelphia do not greatly strengthen the civic spirit in
that city. as well as in American cities generally, Philadelphia will
have suffered in vain.

wants Employees to Pay Debts.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
One of the best things that the Board
of Works ever did was to pass that
resolution compelling it's employees to
pay their creditors. Now, let hat body
see to it that the resolution be kept
alive. and not he a dead letter. for
gotten as soon as passed.
l think that it would be a good idea
if the Board of F~reeholders passed a
like resolution "touchin' on and apper-
tainin' to" the many men on Its salary
list. This board, too, as I understand.
has in its employ a good-sized lot OF
petty grafters, who use their little
brief authority" by imposing upon
good-natured creditors. All Of them get
good pay considering the class of work
they are supposed to do. and there is
no reason why there should be a sys-
tematic 'hang-up'' by one of them.
