Joe Byrne's death at Albany the

Newspaper men here one of the unpro-
fessional tricks OF the profession. Joe
was q reporter who never fell down
He worked here from 1885 till 1895. In
those days the telegraph instruments
in the Market street telegraph Office
were on the ground floor.
Byrne, IN order to get a little extra
money, accepted a job as local repre-
sentative of a news agency In New
York that was sndeavoring II cover
the Ter ey field. That agency was hated
by the local correspondents of the met
therefore, that the correspondents re-
fused to work with Byrne. That
didn't bother Byrne at all. He sta
toned himself In the telegraph office
and seemed TO he gazing out of the
window. but, instead, he was making
notes on his cum of stories that were
being wired by his rivafs.
1t was a long time before the boys
discovered that Joe was a telegraph
operator. Soon following the disc overy
the sending room" was put upstairs.
Joe figured everything was fair news
getting.
Captain Samuel Brown, the con-
genial and always smiling commander
Of the Sixth precinct, says that when
he gets that new station house he's
going to be the proudest man In New

I see that 'Scotty,' the Death Val

the Eastern League, had a penny for

his baseball career he would nave more
money than 'Scotty' ever dreamed o."
"Why?" butted In that aruent base
ball fan, George w. Joerscke, who was
one of the crowd.
1T is n of his baseball supersti-
said McGinnity. He thinks
it's bad luck to see one on the side

a superstitious baseball man."

barrels when you are on your way to

Joe.

This, of course, is due to ignorance.
Now l have a suggestion to make:
The Board of Health authorities
should send their inspectors to all the
houses in the poorer sections OF the
city and talk with the parents on the
necessity Of open windows in sleeping
rooms.
Some people have more respect for
uniformed inspectors than for the FAM
lily physician They think that the in
| spector represents the law, but have
become accustomed to the doctor, and
do not regard his word In such mat
tiers as authoritative I would like to
see this suggestion acted upon.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
That was certainly a most interesting
array Of figures on the reduction in
the cost Of food prices to which the
newspapers treated their readers the
other day.
AS a matter of fact, that is about
as far as the treat went. A trip among
the tradesmen will come pretty near
prol:lg what 1 say. II there has beer
really any reduction more than the
tenth part of a mill, as far as the
consumer is concerned. the consumer
would like to get on to the bandwagon
of reduced rates of living.

they are so unfit to a thai they would

IT F the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives shall
adopt a reasonable program for the special session, such a one
as can be carried out with the aid of the Republican progress
siyes in the Senate, the party will win the appreciation OF tn
country and make capital for the November elections. Reciprocity
is popularity desired, and that question should stand upon its own
merits. 1t will be highly creditable to the House if a bill is passed
soon after the session begins without reference to other tariff
changes. Reduction can then be made in ways to cheaper the
necessaries of life, and the session need not be prolonged to weary
the public and keep business unsettled.
