SANDY HOOK, n. j., May "a
mystery of the sea puzzles life
savers here. Soon after midnight a
yacht, yawl-rigged, was seen In
flames, slowly drifting out into the
broad ocean. It was quite impossible
to make out whether or not there
were passengers aboard.
1t is supposed that those who were
aboard when the vessel caught fire
took to the small boat and escaped
from her. The blazing yawl was
swept from the direction Of Princess
bay. She was about six tons and Is
thought to have been used as
houseboat by Oscar Howard, of Bel

idiosvyncrasies and humorous peculiar

times when the senate is not sitting
and too many visitors and page bosses
are not around to observe the proceed
ing the pages themselves go into a
solemn sensational session. One will
impersonate Vice President Marshall.
another the chief clerk, and so on.
Various other boys will pretend to be
either their fayorite senators or the
senator's of home states. Each boy
occupies the seat to which the real
senator is entitled. Bang goes the
vice presidents gaveI and the extra
ordinary session of pages has conyen-
ed. There is always an argument as
to which Senator shall be recognize
ed when the regular order of business
is reached. Every conceivable current
subject is discussed, with a goodly
.sprinkling OF baseball Hesitation
which. always carries with it a rider
by which each page senator shall be
entitled to an annual self renewing
pass for all the seasons games. A
bill which is almost sure to be intro
duced is one which proposes to in
crease the salaries of the pages and
their hours of duty.

BEWARE THE WARDEN!

This Is the season Of the year when
the man whose chief delight is to get
into the field with gun and dog feels
the call to get into the open with al
most irresistible force. Some indeed
find the call SO strong that they fall
before the temptation and slip out
with their dogs and in other ways vio-
late the state law.
The new game board Is making
strenuous efforts to enforce the game
laws to the letter and it will not be
surprising If there are an unusual
number Of convictions Of ~"sooners''
this year. A new plan has been adopt
ed in appointing deputy wardens. Men
who are not known in the community
in which they are to serve have been
named n the man who attempts to
violate the law is taking long chances.
1t is said that chickens are plentiful
in some sections, and one ~exuberant
correspondent sent out a story % the
effect that in his part of the state the
birds were becoming a nuisance. Such
stories should be taken with a grain
or salt. The man who goes to that
section after the season opens will
probably not be bothered very much
by the birds.
The season for shooting prairie
chickens opens Sept. 7 and the birds
have over a month to grow before they
can be legally shot. The hunter who
is wise will not attempt to do any
shooting before that date.

THE MEDICINE Q

I remember the medicine show
That came to our town in the long ago,
The carriage stopped in the village
square,
Gasoline torches raised a glare,
Song, with a banjo, rode the air,
And all of the loafers soon were there.
The Doc wore long, black Indian hair,
And of the pistols he carried a thump-
ing pair.
And he gave the people a medicine
show,
In a country vilalge OF long ago.
I recall how the people smiled
And joked and gathered with hurrying
feet; -" a
For entertainment our hearts were
We hungered much for the showman's

Or a daily paper at night and morn.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Must Factory Girls be Killed?

New York Globe: 1t ID not clear
that the burning to death Of half a
hundred girls in the Binghamton fire
was due to any fragrant violation Of
law. The building had been properly
insected. 1t was of the "slow combus-
ton" type. 1t was provided with fire
escapes. Its stairways were passable
and not shut off by locked or in-open-
ing doors. The girls had been fire
drilled. Yet, despite all these precau-
tons, what happened at the Triangle
fire W years ago was practically re-
peated, as though no warning had
aver been given.
And what happened at Binghamton
will be repeated every now and again
as long as society allows ~so-called
property rights to be put above the
right to live. In plain words, as long
as we allow crowds of human beings
to work in buildings, however protect
ed, that can. be burned to: the ground
in a few minutes horrors like the Tri-
angle, the Newark and the BINGHAM
ton fires will occur with more or less
regularity. The Binghamton factory
was rated as Of SLOW combustion
quality.
