took Food They Begged Over City
Hall Furnace Fire.

When Michael Flynn, night fireman
at the City Hall. walked down TO the
basement yesterday morning to attend
the fires he WAS surprised to find sit
ting in front of the furnace six tramps
who had been admitted last night and
meal of fried pork chops, fried
onions, bread and butter and hot cof-
fee. Flynn was at a loss TO know
how the food had been prepared, for
e was steaming hot, and the tramps
we're without utensils of any kind.
Upon making inquiry he learned
the men had used the coal shovel for
a frying pan and coffee pot. One
of the "hoboes" had carried the food
in with him, having begged it along
the road. While the men enjoyed the
meal, upstairs the officers on duty
nursed appetites that had been arous-
ed by the odor Of the frying onions.

Too many men hold their relation
ship to their church too lightly. never
apparently considering that they have
a duty toward its support besides the
occasional contribution when they at
tend services. They do not Eel to
think that the maintenance Of the
church costs money. that the minister
is just as much in need of the
TO live as anyone else.
Not long ago reference was made
to the decreasing number of young
men entering the ministry. Collegiate
statistics show a steady and almost
startling decline in this regard. Is 1t
to he wondered at. considering the
penuriousness with which the clergy
are treated. the absolute lack of what
Bishop Doane has aptly and forcibly
characterized as decent support?" 1t
is too common an impression that the
life Of the clergy is an cas- one. when
nothing could be further from the
truth. 1t Is n Of the most exacting
of professions. calling for labor every
day in the year. yet none is so poorly
renunerated. 1t is too often a heart
breaking profession because Of the
endless struggle to make ends meet.
the more heartbreaking because neces-
sarily suffered in silence. Every
church member worthy Of the name
should take to heart Bishop Doane's
words and apply them personally. The
laborer is worthy of his hire even in
the Lords vineyard.

TIL; VERDICT on sCHRANK.

The alienists appointed by the Mil
waukce court to examine into the
mental condition Of Schrank, the as
sailant of Colonel Roosevelt, hnd MIN
to he insane. He is deemed a par
anoic. and while his violence is inter-
mlttent. he is held to be mentally ire
sponsible.
We believe hat the cool Judgment
of the country will endorse this YER
dict. 1t was reached not by the usual
stupid method of hiring one set OF ex-
perts to testify one way and another
set to testify exactly the other. but by
employing the experts by the state
solely to ascertain the facts. A scien-
tihc verdict SO pronounced commands
public respect. Wisconsin has the
credit Of leading the rest Of the coun-
try in reforming a legal abuse h a in
MANY states has come to be a noto-
rious scandal.
In addition, schrank's act was so
devoid Of rational motive as to argue
even to the lay mind the existence of
irresponsibility. Since 1t has devel-
oped to the extent Of displaying the
homicidal tendency, the prisoner
should be kept under restraint for the
rest of his life. Men liable to such
outbreaks cannot be trusted at large.
The fact that the wound was not fatal
does not alter the necessity. since
there can be no guarantee that in a
second attempt the issue will be SO
fortunate.

THE democrats have undertaken a
very difficult and ~stupendous task. In
the first place. they have made a con
tract with the people to reduce the
cost OF living. To do this they have
got to maintain conditions that will
keep labor employed, provide SUFFICIENT
revenue to run the government, and
at the same time keep up the price
Of farm products to the farmer. This

A nAGRANT soPH1sTRY.

The stress and strain Of criminal
events in New York have brought Pc
lice Commissioner Waldo Of that city
to the utterance of a sophistry famil-
lar in past times. but to which public
officials have grown ashamed to re-
sort. Perhaps MIR. Waldo's difficult
position may excuse his use Of the
plea in support of a censorship OF the
news of criminal events that "prema-
ture publication has enabled criminals
to escape"
Does not the man who has commit
ted a crime know first of all that he
has committed it? Does he not know
every police officer who is worth his
salt will try to arrest the criminal?
These things are obvious. The news
papers can tell the criminal nothing
about the crime that he does not
already. But silence imposed by the
police may give the criminal chances
to sea hat he would not nave II
the details are made public.
The sophistry that detection OF
crime is hampered by publicity has
been worked so hard thai many use 1t
without thinking of it's absurdity. But
it's practice is SO open to sinister sus-
picions as to suggest a corrupt origin.

REMARKABLE TALE OF CRIME.

The story OF joseph vogel. the
"Fagin" who trained dishonest serv-
ant girls to loot the houses in which
they were employed. easily eclipses
the exploits OF the most celebrated Of
the ictional crooks pictured in the
Sherlock Holmes "Arsene Lupin"
or "Raffles" stories. first because Of its
sheer simplicity. and because of its
reality. Now that Nigal has been
sho; TO death in a battle with the off,
GERS and the record of his career is
Icing disclosed. it is said he was re-
spcnsihle for no less than 1000 bur-
slaries in and around New York city
III the past few years. The method
was alros; ridiculously simple. The
woman who posed as Mrs. Nogel Sc
cured employment in a house, gained
the confidence of a servant girl likely
Ia l,e suitable for her purposes. and
gradually. by this means. had a force
Of about forty domestics scattered
over the city under her orders. These
women obtaining places upon her rec
ommendation would stay only long
enough 10 locate v%aluables and loot
the houses. personally or in conspiracy
with outside thieves.
Possibly the most remarkable thing
ahou. the affair is that it remained
for Vogel to devise this easy method
Of robbery on a wholesale scale. With
hired help so difficult to secure and
housekeepers accustomed TO take risks
in employing strangers, 1t Is strange
that Eogel's scheme was not thought
of before. The large number of rob-
berries credited to him shows how easy
and safe it was. Now that it has been
exposed. more rigorous examination
Of the antecedents Of hired help will
follow as a necessary ~precaution
against imitators. 1t Is evidently not
sufficient to accept a recommendation
without careful inquiry into the
source. 1t may result in the adoption
in this country of the cautious inquiry
which precedes the employment OF
house servants abroad. where unim-
peachable recommendations are an
essential to employment.

AN uNDERPAID PROFESSION.

The appeal made by Bishop Doane
Of the Episcopal diocese Of Albany
for decent support" of the clergy d.
reefs attention to a subject hat is too
often overlooked. Nor it is confined
to any one denomination. AS a pro-
fession the ministry is miserably un.
derpaid. Bishop Doane's declaration
that many are called upon to live on
salaries less than day laborers often
earn is too true. Yet they are ex-
pected to live in a style becoming
their position II the community, to
keep up appearances in public no mat
ter how scant may be their wardrobe
or the larder.
This Is OF course grossly negligent
on the part of their parishioners. 1t
cannot surely be that people could be
10 unreasonable. If they stopped to
think Of what they expect of their
pastors and Of how pitifully inade-
auats are the means they furnish him.
