away from the shallow substitute for her

sought out Josephine amid the roses OF
Malmason for counsel. But it was too
late. She advised him wisely, but he did
not follow her advice. Had he done so
he would not have committed the three
crowning and fatal foll!es of his life.
He would not have murdered the Duke Of
Enghien. He would not have provoked
England into sending Wellington TO Spain.
He would not have invaded Russia.
Against each of those mad acts Josephine
warned and eXhorted him. But each and
all of them he committed against her
counsel Had she still been his wife. her
counsel might have prevailed.

The work of the present campaign
has been directed throughout by Dr.
Alonzo Blauvelt assistant superin-
tendent of sanitation, who has trav-
elled a great many miles in nis auto
mobile visiting the different stations
and taking charge in general.
The preliminary campaign was
deemed even more important than the
actual details of cleanup week. With
out such a campaign the rubbish could
not be collected, and the organization
effected by Dr. Goldwater and Com
missioner Fetherston would have been
useless. Therefore, although only
comparatively small sum of money was
available. every attention was given
to preparation and to advert sing.
One million seven hundred thousand
circulars were distributed as a pre-
liminary step, private organizations
declaring themselves willing TO under
take the cost and the trouble of distri-
button. Eight hundred thousand cir
cuars were given out by members of
the Metropolitan Insurance Company,
while the Prudential distributed an
equal number. one million five hun
dred thousand official notices were also
distributed by the members of the po-
lice force, and the moral support
gained by the cooperation of the Po-
lice Department has been great adj
vantage to the directors Of the cam
paign. who have received many tons Of
rubbish solely through the influence
brought TO bear when man in brass
buttons stepped up TO the basement
door with a printed slip and a re-
quest that was as effective as an order.

the cardinals take part; sometimes
grave ecclesiastical affairs are dis

American cardinals were announced

The newly organized college will con-

commonly is. the college will be equally

This is a circumstance OF unique and
extraordinary interest, which may
prove to be of much political impor-
lance. particularly in view of the
changing relations between the Vatican
and various European governments.

CIRCULAR ASKING FOR CO-OPE'
RATION IN WORK.

The preliminary circular, which was
distributed before the campaign COM
menced, bore the title For Health and
Decency," and said in part:
The City Of New York has begun a
cleanup" campaign 10 improve the
general sanitary condition Of the city.
To accomplish this great work II IS
necessary that every person living IN
the city help by cleaning UP his prem
ises. The object is 70 remove all refuse
and waste material from roofs. flre

"One of the chief causes OF fires, as
you probably know. lies in the rubbish,
waste and old material that are hid

as great a benefit to the Fire Depart
ment as TO the Health Department. l
should not be surprised if the Fire
Department was the greatest gamer in
the entire city. Waste is the first
thing that the Fire Department goes
after, and cleanup week gets the
waste. II ought to involve every fam
ily in the city, for everybody has old
stuff that he doesn't need but is not
quite ready to throw away. Private
clean-ups are frequent, but have not

The advantages in the way of public
cleanliness that are brought about by
the crusades are enormous. Perhaps
the chief one of them is the partial
elimination of the fly, whose misdeeds
have appeared in print so many times

Extensive preparations were made to

Health Department, which has had
chief charge of the work, saw to the
printing of more than three million
circulars in various languages which
were distributed about the city through
various agencies. Numerous civic or

Scouts being particularly active, while
the official notifications were delivered
