Surely Washington can be depended
upon for the support Of > permanent
symphony orchestra here. The direc-
tors of the existing musical organiza-
ton are about to resume. on more di-
rect lines. their campaign for fund
large enough to insure the permanent
establishment of an orchestra that,
given the patronage and encourages
ment it deserves, viii soon take rank
with any similar body of musicians in
the country.
Washington ought to be the musical
center of the nation; certainly it should
have the best orchestra, and this can
only be brought about by the earnest
cooperation and unceasing effort Of
the music-loving- which cannot fail to
win the support of the general public.
Visiting orchestras never fail of gem
erous patronage at prices not within
the means of everybody. The plan for
the Washington Symphony is the best
music at cost which viii exclude no
body from its enjoyment
just what prospect there is for sue
cess will be largely determined by the
support given to the concert being ar
ranged for the week following Easter.
We trust it will be generous.

measure men.

Modern rights of womankind were
given judicial recognition in the Dis
trict Criminal Court on Saturday when
Chief Justice Clabaugh ruled that it is
possible for man to libel his wife.
The defendant, an evangelist made no
defense, but placed his sole dependence
on the old Interpretation of the law that
husband and wife are one. Justice Cla-
baugh in ruling against the plea said that
he might be wrong, but the decisions
holding to the old idea of unity in law
between husband and wife were rem
dered at time when public sentiment
was different. He added that it would
be barbarous to hold otherwise than
that husband who maligned his wife
should not be just as amenable to the
law as if he struck her. This decision
in behalf of woman will certainly be
approved by public opinion, but the
evangelisfs attorney will take an ap-
peal.

Pupil Inst1uets Teacher.

The London Bobby at the street
crossing, hating, Fastening, directing,
ruling traffic, has ever been the popular
paragon of orderliness of street passen-
gers, afoot and awheel. The safety
and expeditiousness with which traffic
in London was dispatched were the
admiration of the world. New York
went there TO learn how; Paris took
lessons and profted. Now, the cables
say, London is coming to New York
to learn how street traffic should be
regulated.
The London regulations have remain
ed unchanged, while the New York
regulations have been modified to meet
new conditions. The principal trouble
in London is discovered to be that the
traffic policemen permit traffic to move
in one direction too long, thus Gre
ating congestion in the intersecting
streets. New York, where traffic like
everything else, has increased at more
rapid pace than in the older city, the
alternating currents, so to speak, are at
brief intervals. The rule of common
sense is used in New York, and a
wider latitude given traffic policemen
in the construction of their instructions
based upon the city's ordinances.
London yet msintains the lead in Sc
curity, however, and it is to be hoped
that in learning how to make haste
safely London may teach New York
and other American cities, including
Washington, how to grace swiftness
with the ease which only a freedom
from danger can afford traffic.

The President and de TaiIers.

An ancient saw has it that it takes
several-the number running as high as
nine-tailors to make one man, and this
corollary may be added, that all the
tailors in the world won't make some
men. But whether measured facetiously
or properly estimated as important fac
tors in the composition of humanity,
they are individuals essential to the
comfort and contentment of man. Their
artfulness at once conceals the defects
and enhances the merits of the male of
our species; and one need not have
been converted by Prof. Diogenes Teu-
felsdrockh, whose expansive theory of
clothes is so learnedly set forth in
"Sartor Resartus," to realize that those
decorative achievements are quite as
valuable as the merely useful works of
covering and protecting the body.
With all this in mind-and it is not
a little-it is pleasurable to note that
the President will show his recogni-
ton of the indispensable art of tailoring
by receiving the delegates to the con-
vention of the International Custom
Cutters Association February S. Those
who come, like their fellow-craftsmen
who will receive and care for them as
guests in Washington, are represent
atives of the best workmen in their
trade. They are men whose industry,
skill and intelligence have placed them
at the head of considerable enterprises,
and it is well, indeed, that they be
made to feel that their importance is
known to the people and the peoples
official spokesmen.

Democrats and Suffrage.

The Democratic party's House. Rules
Committee, by refusing to recommend
the creation of a House committee on
woman suffrage, will impress Upon the
people the idea that the Democratic
party is unwilling to consider, to be in.
formed, or to be approached upon any
matter not included in its last platform
This idea, worked out to fnality, will
mean to the people that the Democratic
party is willing to think only once in
four years.
The Rules Committee Democrats, by
recommending a woman suffrage com.
rnittee, would not have committed
themselves or their party to woman suf-
frage. They would merely have ex-
pressed willingness to hear advocates
-and opponents, too-of cause rec
ognized as one of the most tremendous
issues in the politics of the world.
Willingness to learn, open-nindedness,
is the essential of sincerity of vision
Without it, progress is time-serving,
and halts wastefully at the end of each
achievement.
That the other Democrats of the
House will uphold their rules com
Hitteemen seems probable. Friends

there is a drawbridge over the Miamus
River. All trains stopped at this draw
bridge for safety. The stop was made
directly in front of what for some
years was the summer home of Ed
win Booth.
One evening, day or two after
Tweed escaped, and after the an
nouncement of the reward of $4,000
for his capture had been made this
young man saw Tweed with a friend
jump from the baggage car Of the
night train from New York to the
tracks In front Of the Edwin Booth
house. They went at once to a mar
row road near by. where a carriage
was In waiting. They were driven
rapidly away. About two miles north
OF this stopping place was a home
which Tweed had bought for man
and his wife. the wife being niece
OF Tweed. The young man presumed
that they were going to this house, as,
In fact, they did. They stopped at
the house a little while. and then were
driven across country to Tarrytown,
about twenty miles distant. There
Tweed took a private yacht and made
the voyage first to Cuba, thence to
Spain.

bard. why he did not at once COM

have been apprehended. and the young

FUDGE FREDERICK A. HUBBARD,
ey of Greenwich, Conn.,, as a young
man was familiar with the coun-
try homo and life Of William NJ. Tweed.
better known as BOSS" Tweed. For
1t was in Greenwich that Tweed. when
at the height Of his rule, established
a country home, having made choice
Of a most attractive piece of land, from
which a vista of trees and in clear
weather the distant shores of Long
Island could be obtained. This place
was a mile and half to the north
of the notorious American clubhouse
where the Tammany men of Tweed's
dav used to gather for summer out
ings. Mr.. Hubbard was frequently
brought into personal touch with
Tweed. who. when at his country home
was q very agreeable, kindly man
nered and sympathetic man.
Many are the anecdotes of Tweed
and his country life in Greenwich
which Judge Hubbard is able to mar
rate to his friends. He recently told
me the following. which is associated
with the last years spent by Tweed in
Greenwich.
Tweed had escaped from Jail, cre-
atins thereby a tremendous sensation.
not only in New York. but throughout
the country. He was at last appre-
hended at a port in Spain and given
up by that country to the United
States authorities as an act Of cour-
tesy, there being at that time no ex-
tradition treaty between the United
States and Spain.
$50 great was the Importance Of
the recapture Of Tweed regarded by
the authorities that a reward of
$4,000 was offered for his apprehen-
sion or for information which would
lead to his capture.
There was at that time a young
man of Greenwich in the employ of
the New Haven Railroad. To him
Tweed had been very kind. He had
