be granted the new excise board should take
the first opportunity to wipe out some of these
places in this outlying section of the city. 1t
is a disgrace that a community should have
forced upon it such a number of drinking
places.
In connection with excise affairs we have
learned the interesting fact that yesterday
measurements were taken for the bar fixtures
for the hotel that is being built in Madison
avenue near Smith street. This place has no.
received its license, although it is pending be-
fore the excise board. Apparently the owners
feel pretty certain that the license will be
forthcoming or they would not have gone so
far as to have the measurements taken for the
bar-room. Evidently the present excise board
is determined to wind up its reputation with
a grandstand finish.

HANDY FIREARMS.

To protect her jewels while riding in a sleep
ing car on her way to New York, a young wom-
an took a revolver into her berth with her.
During the night she accidentally shot her
mother who died within a short time after
reaching a hospital at Trenton. The young
woman is completely overcome with grief and
is under the care. of physicians. She succeed
ed in protecting her jewels, but has lost her
mother by so doing. We doubt whether the
gems were worth all they have cost.
This instance merely shows the danger of
having firearms about. Had the young wom-
an not had the revolver with her she may
have run some risk of being robbed, (although
not a very great one in this section Of the
country but she would have been absolutely
sure of having her mother with her at the end
of the journey, as far as she was concerned.
This is not the only instance where the dan
ger Of having firearms within easy reach has
been demonstrated. Not only have serious ac-
cidents occurred many times before, but muir
der has been committed and other crimes
brought about through the free use of weap-
ons, which is, no doubt, encouraged by the
dealers and manufacturers. Some day we will
awake to the true condition of affairs and
then it may be that laws will be passed plac-
ing the manufacture and sale of firearms I'M
der the strictest regulations.
1t is always the ''unloaded" gun that kills
the boy. If the parents do not have pistols ly-
ing about in bureau drawers it is impossible
for the children to use them as playthings. We
believe that less chance is taken by the av-
erage citizen by not having firearms about
than when they have such weapons in some
convenient spot. 1t is true robbers may break
in and steal a few valuables, but what are
these compared with the life of a child or
parent? ~
OF course, the regulation Of the sale Of
weapons would not prevent people having fire
arms in their houses, but it will lessen the
number that are used and would, to a great
extent, wipe out the many evils that exist be-
cause firearms are so easy to obtain, p%articu-
larry in second hand stores and pawnshops
where pistols and knives are displayed in a
most ~enticing manner. The sooner this matter
is given the attention it deserves by the law
makers, the safer we all will be as a result.

A FAIR SAMPLE.

The application made before the excise
board for a license for a new saloon in Inslee
street emphasizes more than anything else the
excessive number of drinking places in this
city. lnslee street is a short distance above
the cemetery toward Woodbridge, running
eastward to the railroad tracks. There is
quite a little settlement there, commonly
called "~Gypsytown." To include all the
houses, there are not over one hundred in the
entire group, yet there are six saloons for this
small section of our population, five of which
are located on Inslee street already referred
to. Now an effort is being made to add
another.
We do not know what action the Board of
Excise Commissioner will take on this appli-
cation. but we do know that should the license
