thing else it doesn't choose to do.
We are of the opinion, however, that
the Corporation Counsel has over
looked one possible bet. In the Dis
trict police regulations is paragraph
that looks as if it might have teeth.
1t is section eight of article six, and
reads as follows:
Any vehicle for the conveyance OF
passengers for hire which is in an un-
safe, unsanitary, or unsightly con-
dition may be condemned by the police
officer detailed as hack inspector; ana
II the owner or agent thereof shall
continue to utilize said vehicle without
first having made the same safe, sanl-
tary, and wholesome, such owner or
agent shall be brought before the Ponce
Court and, upon conviction, snail pc
liable to the penalty provided In this
article.
Any person who has ever ridden In
Sixteenth street herdic would be
willing to testify that the vehicles are
"unsafe and unsanitary," and anybody
who ever saw one would not hesitate
to swear they are "unsightly." The
penalty provided is fine of only $40,
but if it were imposed often enough
the company might decide to behave.
We pass this suggestion along to
the Commissioners for what it is
worth.

Munsey's Tells of Students
Who Work Through Yale

I work ed my way through college.
Every year 600 Yale students are doing
similar things. The total amount they
earn in a given year, according to a
recent careful tabulation. is nearly
quarter of a million dollars.
Among the interesting items that went
to make up last years total was so, 900
the largest amount earned in any one
kind Of work-received by 12 students
from tutoring; while 225 engaged In
clerical work, and earned $4,000 at It,
Nearly s1s,5oo was earned by 135 stu
dents In waiting on table, and S,465 by
81 students who organized clubs at pri-
vate boarding houses. Among the
smaller items, 1888 was earned by Is
men as reporters and correspondents
for daily and weekly papers,; ID men
earned 81, 41S as conductors and motor
men on trolley cars, and II men earned
q. S97 singing in church choirs.
Work at Yale has become recognized
as so essential a part of the institu-
ton that a special bureau is maintain
ed to help men to find suitable employ
ment. 1t was this bureau which tab.
ulated the above figures of student
earnings.-Munsey's Magazine.

LAWRENCE, Mass, May 2S-The
magnificent colonial mansion on the

Methuen, the residence Of the family of
the late Mayor John Breen, was gut
ted by fire late last night. while the
Methuen fire department contested with
the Lawrence fire department the right

The dispute almost ended in blows.
Firemen of both departments lined up,
the Lawrence men begging for the
privilege of getting into action, sup
ported in their requests by the howls
of nearly 1000 people, attracted by the
glare Of the fire
The jeers Of the crowd finally COM
PEELED the Methuen department to give
in. Then the two lines Of hose playing
on the blaze were increased to nearly
twenty, but the fire had gained so much
Roadway that it was impossible to save

be something like this:

tributed by citizens, was spent for a
wholesome program of sports and
amusements and for a display Of night
fireworks. Not a fatality or fire oc-

cities that have effected reform in cele-
brating the Nations birthday.

Fourth of July celebration was q fizzle
this year. In spite OF the city's success
last two years and thereby setting an
example which the whole country Is
following, civic pride failed to respond
to the demands yesterday. The public
celebration, violated the firecracker
laws in wholesale fashion, with the re-
suit that casualties were numerous

ARE CLERGYMEN VAIN OF
THEIR CLOTHESi

From the address delivered to the
graduates of the Theological School of
Howard University by the Rev. Alex
ander C. Garner, one would infer that
it was a common sight to see frisky
gentlemen "of the cloth" disporting
themselves in silk blazers and purple
socks. He advised the young theologs
within the sound of his voice not to
devote much time to their attire. Con-
sdering the sartorial sobriety of the
ministry of practically every religion,
he must have assumed that his hear
ers didn't need any advice on the car
dinal virtues, pulpit eloquence, or the
most effective way of raising the
church debt. If there is any one thing
from which the clerical mind might be
free, apparently, it is anxiety over the
matter of attire. True, the mere lay.
man does not have the wide and in.
viting field for the exercise of taste OF
eccentricity in the matter of clothes
which the Daughters of Eve revel in SO
instinctively. Still, the arbiters OF
fashion see to it that there is enough
change in style from one season to an,
other not to permit the average citizen
to get by with last years outfit

it doesn't scream, his vest, if nothing
else, may take on shade of almost

This morning the glad tidings came in

which has so alarmed the city is in
every case chickenpox. except in pos
