HOMICIDE IN NEW YORK.

The latest murder tragedy in New York city Was
the ftieth since the beginning of the present year
Since January 1 there has not been conviction,
while twenty-three murder pending in the
criminal courts In sixteen of the murder the
police have no clues. This beats all records Lon
don. Paris Berlin do not compare with New York
Chicago in the number of homicide
In these cities criminal justice is of different
quality from that which obtains in Americas two
principal cities The long delays and mscarriages
of justice common in America almost unknown
In European cities.
The reason for this great difference in the crime
statistics of the large cities here and abroad Is not
that American communities prone to mur-
der but that in American cities the murderer has
little fear Of the law.

A MARVELLOUS WORK FOR HUMANITY

Fortunate indeed will posterity be in the results
of the patient researches of the scientists who
deYong their lives in the laboratories of the Rookie
feler Institute to experiments and tests for the dis
coyery of for the physical ills of mankind The
work so far performed by these scientists is
veloue
The world has been immensely benefited by dis
coveres that are worth mankind than all the
wealth OF all the mut-millionaires Nor could these
benefits be calculated in dollars. The hookworm
discovery alone is nestimsble boon to millions.
It in the institute laboratories that may expect
to see developed for and also OF tuber
culosis
The great institution which at this time, when
war is sweeping off hundreds of thousands of people
in Europe and breeding new plaques, is quietly at
work seeking the means to human life and spare
the world great miseries, to New Jersey for
home The request honors the State It will be in
New Jersey that great medical and surgical discoV-
cries will be made.
The opposition to this request is hard to under
stand Governor Fielder, after patiently listening
the morbid and mawkish arguments against the vivi-
section bill has made the bill law by his signature.
This does not of end the antisentiment That
will keep alive along with other morbdly sentimental
hobbies and may expect to ant-vivisection
and characterization bills appear at every session of
the Legislature.

coRNERING SENATOR HENNEssY.

Clean cut direct and convincing was the reply OF
John A. Bernhard, Newark lawyer, with active prac-
ce in the Essex county the attack by sena-
Tor Charles oConnor Hennessy Chief Justice Will
lam S Gummere, whom the Bergen county man IS op-
posing reappointment.
Mr. Bernhards answer direct Tor the reason
that it goes straight to the questions involved with
no flourish of trumpets convincing, because court rec
ords official therefore competent, evidence are
offered in refutation Senator Hennessys misrepre-
sentatons for that they we're msrepresenta-
tions whether willful or due msspprehension or
nsinformation
If will be allowed by all reasonable persons and
lovers of fair play that Justice Gummere is entitled
10 fair play and square deal" Can 1t be claimed
that Senator Hennessy letter of protest to Governor
Fielder is featured by elements of fair play?
We all love "fair play and all admire ez-
ponents of Square deals from the professional man
to the artisan.
Mr. Bernhard shows by the records, that the al
legations against the chief justice are not sustained
D facts, that they not founded on facts and that
therefore, grave injustice, through these allegations
have been the head of the Supreme Court OF the
State.
The lawyer goes further and questions whether or
not W. Fellowes Morgan, former foreman OF an
Essex county grand jury given BY Senator Hennessy
as an authority statements, made any
statement concerning grand ury doings thereby yo-
lating his oath grand juror. Mr. Bernhard
even charges Hennessy with attempt to misead
Governor Fielder. He seems to have cornered the
senator.
Now we come to Edmund Burke Osborne, the Pro-
gressve who has also written to the governor in op
position to the reappontment of the chief justice.
1t is difficult to understand why Mr.. Osborne voun-
tary participated in the controversy. He may, per-
llaps. have his reasons for doing so, whether
merely keep in the public limelight because of
an attack of the writers Itch
Mr. osbornes letter says very little that would
manifest a study or knowledge of the situation He
has no personal interest in Justice Gummere He says
so and adds that the CHIEF justice s learned and
able
But Mfr Osborne has read things and heard things,
he ntmates With him It is plainly case of "hear-
say evidence just it to be far Senator
IIennessy is concerned.
Why not get down 10 a fair play basis in this
matter?

WHY SHOULD THE DAY BE LOST

Had the skies been bright and fair Easter Sunday
last would have been occasion long to be pleasantly
remembered by the reigiousy inclined and Others
who observing the day in its devotional features, had
looked forward in delightful anticipation to opportu
mites to display their Easter fnery and enjoy the
many niceties connected, in traditional way, with
the advent of joyous period.
Merchants florists and other business people had
been buoyed with hope that prosperity would shine
on them that trade would benefit and that the seller
and the buyer would profit alike. Early weather ndi-
cations augured we'll for exceptionally successful
Easter and elaborate preparations had been made for
brisk business all round
There was generous display of goods, the sea-
sons styles and the like exhibited in abundance
and at attractive prices The florists in particular
reckoned on rich harvest. Business men advertised
their wares literally and altogether the aspect was
cheerful
But the weather changed all conditions and blasted
expectations. The unexpected and unprecedented
snowsorm paraly2ed trade and brought bitter dissp-
pointments to merchants and merrymakers alike.
Bright hope gave way to gloom 1t was crush
ing blow to business goods of perishabe nature
represented dead loss, and articles that are usually
part and parcel of Easter left on the dealers
hands.
But why should the day the occasion be lost?
Easter with its devotional features, tbs true has
for the year but in another it be generally
observed from the standpoint of display of Easter
bonnets and other fnery. Let the enterprisng bus-
of the city get together at and create
fashion. Let it be known, understood and announced
that next Sunday the following Sunday is to be
considered Easter Day, in the respect described
above The day agreed upon can be a gala OCCASION
dealers in goods dispose of their thus re-
coupling their losses of last week; prospective pur-
chasers can buy now they had contemplated buying
then, and all may "be happy yet, you bet"
Again let it be asked, why lose the day." 1t
may be the means of establishing grand precedent,
the setting of fashion.

oHrcAGo,s EXTRAORDINARY ELECTION

The mayoralty election in Chicago while only Of
local Importance attended by national interest
for several reasons. The result would indicate the
political trend, it would show the power Of the
woman vote and also to extent reveal how
American partisan politics Influenced by the war
in Europe There also injected into the election
the religious question well the rivalries Of
Democratic factions There polled total vote of
$50 ,Ss1 of which 243,797 cast by women.
In hgures it the greatest municipal election
ever held in the United States.
All elements named above thrown into the
political caudron that boiled furiously yesterday and
the outcome is known. Thompson, the Republican
candidate, defeated Sweitzer the Democratic, by ILL.,
475 majority although the latter carried the city last
fall for county clerk by 70 o00 According to the
Inmates, Thompson got $4,000 majority of the wom-
ems vote alone, 144,564 votes in all
It is plain, therefore that this vote vas the chief
contributing factor. European prejudices had
their effect of and bgotry active against
the defeated candidate. But in a cosmopolitan city
like Chicago something than these served to
accomplish such overwhelming defeat for per-
sonaily popular Democratic candidate. He noml-
mated by the influence of Roger c. Sullivan.

DOES SUNDAY FACE A FROST

The beginning of the Billy Sunday revival
Daign in Paterson is inauspicious. The attendance
and financial receipts Disappointing and Is the
fervor of the meetings. Compared with the Phils-
dephia meetings the attitude Of the people who have
attended the gatherings in Paterson is cold.
In Philadelphia mobs surged around the crowded
tabernacle afternoon and night. In Paterson the
tabernacle has shown many vacant seats. The total
collections amount to less than $4,000. The largest
attendance was Sunday, when, naturally, many
we're drawn the tabernacle by curiosity Yesterday
there was large falling off. The truth is that Pater
son is town altogether different from the Quaker
City The racial, religious and social elements of
the Silk City those which Billy Sunday dealt
with in Philadelphia The old-fashionel sentiment he
would appeal is only leaven Of the Of popu-
lation In Philadelphia it eavens the whole lump.
The population of Newark has substantially the
same characteristics Paterson. Years ago noted
woman reyvalist, who bore the name of the Widow
and had created revival furor in other cities, came
70 Newark as Mr.. Sunday went to Paterson confident
of repeating her successes here. She failed, and on
leaving the city she expressed in emphatic terms her
satisfaction in shaking off from her shoes the dust oi
an unregenerate town.

DOMESTIC COLD STORAGE FOR EGGS

While fresh eggs have been plentiful and cheap
for some weeks now, the time is coming when the
cold storage combinations will be dictat prices for
this important article of diet. A poultry expert is
entitled to the thanks OF every American housewife
for pointing out method by which she can defy the
egg trust and have her miniature storage plant
ut home.
This household warehouse consists simply of a
stone crock wooden bucket containing sodium
slicate boiled in ten times its quantity of water By
placing the eggs in this solution they may be kept
ten months year. Now would be good time for
househoders to start their egg storage plants and be
in position the of the to laugh the trust
to scorn.

The largest statue in the world is

granite rock on q hillside on the

ably larger than the Sphinx in Egypt.
Persian carpets were formerly dyed
with indigo madder, or vine leaves,
and from these materials shades were
evolved that were impervious to the

which have been much used in recent

rapidly.
Napoleon, in 1898. first brought con-

certain age-from nineteen to twenty
one-has to undergo a period of mill

Sophie WaIlmoden

Two hundred and ten years ago to-
day Amelia Sophie Wallmoden was
born In Hanover, and it is as the
Countess of Yarmouth, the favorite
of King George II. of England, that
she is remembered to fame. Not at
all clever, but possessed of q spright-
ly manner, an amiable disposition,
and all the attractions of a Teutonic
blonde, she attracted the attention
Of George IL, when on a visit to his
ancestral home in Hanover. Sophie
was married at this time, but this
did not stand in the way of her ac-
ceptance of the gallantries of the
king. nor did Queen Caroline, the
kings wife, put up any protests
against his infatuation. However,
this complacence was probably sim
ply part of q necessary policy on the
part of the queen.
The speech of the king at the death
bed of the queen Is celebrated. The
queen had asked the king anxiously
whether or not he thought Of marry
ing again after her death.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
The Man Who PrOmOt ed the Fast Mail Service

81 do not want to detract from the
great service which Colonel George
S. Bangs rendered when he conceived
and then worked out the plan for a
railway fast-mail service. He is en-
titled to all the credit for that idea
and for the successful institution of
the fast-mail service on all the lead
ing railway lines of the United
! States
This remark was made to me by
the late Charles c. Clarke, who was
for many years vice-president of the
New York Central Railroad and its
financial executive officer. Mr.. Clarke
was in intimate personal and after
ward business relations with Colonel
Bangs and he knew some of the diff
ficulties which the latter met with
when he undertook to persuade the
government at Washington to put
cars specially devoted to the carrying
of mail on railway trains and also
When he undertook to persuade rail-
road managers to furnish special fa-
cil1ties for fast-mail service.
Il presume that / am well within
the truth when l say that perhaps at
hrst the only valuable aid given to
Colonel Bangs was that of r. C. Wor-
cester, who for many years was Sec
retary of the Vanderbilt system of
railroads Worcester had a wonder
fully equipped mind and was able
lntuitively to perceive all sides of
proposition and to make instant
judgment upon its feasibility" con-
tinued Mr.. Clarke.
Colonel Bangs had a good many
conversations with Mr. Worcester in
which he explained to him In detail
his railway fast mail plan He was
delighted to learn that the proposition
instantly appealed to Mr.. Worcester.
While 1t is true the railways would
get reasonable compensation for that
service Mr.. Worcester said that the
value of it to the business interests
of the United States would be so
great as, indirectly at least, to tend

"Ah,' sighed the queen with deep

The king was as good as his word.
Both promises he kept He never
married. and he installed Sophie
Wallmoden in the palace of st
James with all the frankness and
candor which was characteristic of
him. In the meantime Sophie was
divorced from her husband and was
created Countess of Yarmouth. The
king had hoped that she would take
part in affairs of state, but that she
was not flt for the part of a Pompa-
dour Sophie knew as well as anyone
else, and discreetly kept her fingers
from meddling. The king never lost
his affection for her, although he
honored other women with his regal
attentions during her lifetime. After
his death she returned to Hanover
with her two sons, who were re-
puted to be descendants of the king.
