and it finally developed that there
could be but one official, and he was
promptly sent for and, although he
vigorously denied having in any man

he was lectured. He was told he must
keep his mouth shut.
In turn, much perturbed, the under
official tried hard to find out how the
leak had taken place, confident he had
had nothing to do with it. He studied
and studied the dispatch for sign.

WOMAN WINS.

WOMAN WINS.
I'M Tor patient, loving woman, wheth-
er mean or rich of gown,
She is on the road to glory-and YOU
just can't keep her down!
There's my little wife, Roxana. she's
as artless as can be,
Yet she's not SO simple, mark you.
hlit she gets the best Of me!
II you try to beat woman, when dis
cussing something grave,
She'll come bobbing up in triumph
like cork upon the wave.
Then before you've time to meet her
with a sermon on her doom,
She'll have floored you with an ed
jectiye and chased you from the
room.
Though you try to stop her progress,
put her momently to rout,
With her logic she'll attack you,
knock you down and drag you
out!
Man has sense. but woman senses OF
kind to cause dismay,
And can tell mans chief weakness
when he's half mile away.
She can scent winter bargain with
the cunning of the fox.
And beat all her male contenders to
the shop by twenty blocks!
/,
That is why bow to woman, noble,
pure and sweet withal--
Bow before her gentle wisdom, kneel
and knuckle. aye, and crawl.

bureau regarded it OF fundamental im-
portance to make q careful study Of
the social evil in this country and in
Europe, feeling that this problem, like
any other great and ditiicult one, can
be intelligently approached only by
means OF a thorough and complete
knowledge OF all the factors involved.
as well as all the methods and expert
ences of other cities and Countries in
dealing with it. Arrangements were
made, therefore, in the early part OF
last winter to secure the services of
George ]. Kneeland, who had directed
the Chicago vice committee investiga-
ton Since that time, Mr.. Kneeland,
with corps OF assistants, has been
making a thorough and comprehensive
survey OF the conditions of vice in
New York City. This survey has COW
cred not only houses OF prostitution.
Raines Law hotels, hotels, disorderly
saloons, cafes and restaurants, mas
sage parlors and other places where
vicious people congregate, but also the
personal histories of some two thous-
and prostitutes; and study Of all the
case records for one year OF a great
majority OF the hospitals and dispens-
ares In New York City, with view
to ascertaining the prevalence of ven
ereal diseases and their ratio to all
other diseases. Mr.. Kneeland's report
is now in progress of preparation and
Will be published within the next two
months.
At the same time, the bureau was
fortunate in securing the services Of
Abraham Flexner, whose reports on
the medical schools In this country and
in Europe arc so well known, to study
the social evil and the various meth
DDS of dealing with 1T in the leading
cities of Europe. Mr.. Flexner spent
the greater part Of year abroad, MAX
ing searching and exhaustive in
quiry into the subject, and is now
working on his report, which will be
ready for publication this winter.
These studies are to lie followed by
others, in those cities in the United
States where different conditions ex-
list or where special methods Of deal
ing with the social evil have been in,
troduced, the object being to become
familiar with all phases of the subject
and all methods of handling 1t which
have been tried In this country and In
Europe.
Based upon all Of these studies,
which will probably be published by
December of this year, it is the hope
OF the bureau that there may be de-
vised a practical plan for dealing with
the social evil in New York Citya
plan which public opinion can be
brought to support
In conclusion, !. cannot be too
strongly emphasized that the spirit
which dominates the work of the
bureau is not sensational or sentiment
al or historical: that 1t is not spirit
of criticism Of public officials; but
that it is essentially spirit OF CON
structive suggestion and OF deep
scientific as well as humane interest
in great world problem.

Peculiar Source Of Income.

A curious story is told as to how the
Rothschilds supported Carafa, the
composer. The latter was far from
rich. His principal income was do
rived from a snuff-box. And this was
the way of it: The snuff-box was
given to the author of La Prison
Edinburgh" about 30 years ago. by
Baron James de Rothschild. as token
of esteem. Carafa sold it, "a hours
later, for rs napoleons to the same
jeweler from whom 1t had been
bought. This became known to Roths-
child, who gave 1t again to the mu-
stefan on the following year. The next
day 1t returned to the jewelers.. This
traffic continued till the death Of the
banker, and longer, still, for his scps
kept up the tradition, to the great
satisfaction Of CarafR.
