None of Our Business, But

Mayor Mitchell, of New York, may not be laying
awake nights solioquzing the ngrattude of polti-
cal friends-and incidentally crossing his fingers on
socalled uplfters who strong for him until the
flesh pots got the closeup the political SCREEN but
being fighter he has put on his war paint and will
be ready for the real scrap with the braves of Tam
many.
It's none of our business, but everybody would
like to New Yorks good government continue.
John Purroy Mitchell, beyond the shadow of doubt,
has made good. He is splendid executive, and has
made, through Commissioner Woods police force that
is the best in the world. The New York policeman
is no longer ignorant grating repulsive boor He
is a well informed, polite, efficient servant of the
people
Then, too, it has been pleasure to everybody
in this country TO know that the nations distinguished
guests have been Hospitality and ntegently cared
for in the first city of the land Take it all in all Mr.
Mitchell has measured up to all the requirements of an
executive in the nations Metropolis and if the coed
wishes of outsiders could elect him he would be over
whemingly returned to the office he adoms.

Glass porChes stare and peer
All up the terraced hill
Glass porches tier on tier
Where, mummy wrapped and still
Day-long the T. BIS lie,
Wards of the winds and sky.
Remote from life as though
By wizards conjury,
By witch's spell, laid low.
Whom fairy's touch might free
From watching clouds pass over
Shows weirdly wreathe and cover.
Might free to seek their tasks,
To be by walls shut in
To wear their separate masks
OF labor, love, or sin.
Alike now, every one,
Nurslings of storm and sun.
Strange, dun chrysalides
With hungry eyes and minds
Adventuring through space
While the health-giving winds
Pass, needless of their boon,
Buffet each dull cocoon.
Health each desires-to enjoy,
To marry, buy or sell.
Too late one lovely boy
Implores, God, make me well
Grant, God, that may fight
Against the Prussian might

OCTOBER JOYS.
BY John Kcndrick Bangs.

OCTOBER JOYS.
When comes October's royal day
My heart within grows blithe and gay
Not for the chilsome days ahead
But for the gorgeous color spread
Der hill and dale. on bush and tree;
For harvests wonderful TO see;
For splendors of the autumn skies
That dazzle so the seeing eyes;
For all the vigor past compare
That cometh from her crispy air.
And precious memories of hours
In summers soft enhancing bowers.

New York, Day by Day
By o. o. MCINTYRE.

Special Correspondent of The Washington Herald.
New York, Sept. 30.-From hither
and thither the ambitious song bird
lets are f1ock!ng into New York. They
leave home with high hopes of being
future Melbas or Carusos. In most
cases their flights has been a great
strain on the family purse.
As result there are innumerabIe
tragedies and there is indeed no trag-
edy so crushing as the tragedy of
ruined voice. And New York is honey
comDed with interruptions teachers,
who wantonly or through ignorance,
accept the fees and not only fail to
get results, but ruin good voices.
Ihere is a young woman today tak-
ing small parts in movie shows that
she may keep booy and soul together.
She came to New York with a splen-
did voice. Her teacher-a long-haired
hypocrite-encouraged and encour-
aged. At the end of two years a
voice that was full of promise was
gone. A career was blasted
Franklin Kitchen, who has remade
many voices ruined by incompetents,
declared at musical gathering re-
Gently, that his success was due to
the fact Of his recognizing but the
one true tone or voice. This voice is
rarely recognized or heard by the
usual vocal teacher.
1t is hidden like one of natures se-
crets back Of the falsetto. Being the
only true voice it is the only voice
that yields to the widest range and
the fullest power and beauty of tone.
Once the pupil realizes this" saws
Mr.. Kitchen. then progress is as
sured-" Even after being disabled
vocally. they in reasonable time fnd
themselves in command of the voice
and able to sing with poise and elias
ticity.
At his studio in the West Sixty
seventh Street Studio Building-the
new center of New York's artistic
life-Mr. Kitchen has devoted his life
to reclaiming the wrecked voices and
pointing the way for those who are
to start on vocal career.
One of the best stories Charles R.
Barnes ever wrote concerned the
blasting Of the ambition of a young
country girl, whose voice was ruined
by a vocal charlatan. Mr.. Barnes
knew the girl out in Ohio. One day in
a New York restaurant he met her
waiting on tables. She had also taken
to drink. Barnes went home that
night and wrote the fiction story
founded on fact. Twelve hours later
he sold it to a big magazine.

The pedestrian on Broadway can for
the next few weeks walk only one
way. The tearing of the streets for
the subway construction is the cause
The contractors say they are on the
last lap of the work and the White
Way will soon have regular pave
ments just like Gallipolis, Ohio. When
Broadway was first torn up long ago.
Harry Lauder just come to town and
a wag said that the streets were up
turned because Lauder was looking
for a nickel he lost. The new one
way pedestrian rule has its good side.
Cnc husband excused himself for COM
ing home late by saying they made
him walk to the Battery before he
could cross the street.
A firm OF dramatic producers are
building three new theaters ia Forty
second street between Seventh emo
Eighth avenues. When completed
they will make that block the nost
extraordinary theater center in the
world, as it will have fourteen the
aters.
Forty-two theaters are now in active
operation, without counting neighbor-
hood theaters, the playhouses OF
Brooklyn ard the Bronx and the mov-
ing picture houses.
The Pink Pup-a Bowery rum pal
ace-has raised the price of whisky
from to cents a glass. And beer
is cents instead of cents a glass.
The Pink Pup was so named because
its proprietor has a pink eye. De
spite the low prices that prevail
there. the proprietor has made a for
tune out of the place.

w. H. FITzHUcH APPOINTED

Formal announcement of the an
pointment of w. H. Fitzhugh as Di-
rector of Chapters for Mississippi.
with headquarters at Vicksburp. has
just been made by w. j. Leppert,
Director Gulf Division American
Cross. Mr.. Fitzhugh has already
undertaken actively the performing
of the duties assigned to him which
will be the spread of Red Cross work
throughout Mississippi, and to coop
crate with the Division Director,
making for the advancing of the in
terests Of the Society. Advices from
the Divisional Headquarters in New
Orleans indicate that Mr.. Fitzhugh
will handle all matters of a iurisdic-
ton character, and with the assist
ance of a Field Agent will carry on
the effective organization work
throughout the state.
Mr.. Fitzhugh is peculiarly fitted
for the important task assigned him,
and it is certain that his activities in
Mississippi will result in material in
creases in memberships. The pur-
pose of establishing a State Direc-
tor in Mississippi is to centralize the
work, perfect a more efficient organ
ization and guarantee greater de-
velopment of the humanitarian work
undertaken by the people of Missis-
sippi.
Announcement was made by Di-
vision director Leppert that less than
60 days ago there were but twelve
chapters in the Gulf Division which
comprises Mississippi, Arkansas, Ala
bama, Louisiana and East Texas, and
only seven thousand members in this
Division. Today there are four hun
bred and twelve organizations with
an aggregate membership of a quar-
ter of million. 1t is understood that
the Gulf Division will, with the as
sistance of such men as Mr.. Fitzhugh,
conduct an aggressive campaign in the
near future, for memberships in the
various States of the Gulf Division.
Judged by the activity already evil
denced in the Vicksburg headquar-
tiers, Mississippi, will keep a-pace
with the increase in the other States
in the Gulf Division.

LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up a corn or callus so it lifts
off with fingers

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or %callus, stops
soreness at oncesand soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens 80 it can be
lifted out, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone cost very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off EVERY hard or soft corr
or callus. This should be tried. as it is
inexpensive and is said not to irritate
the surrounding;skin.
If your druggisr.:hasn't any ~freezone
tell him to get a small bottle for you
from his wholesale Idrug house. 1t is
fine stuff and acts:like a charm every
time. 4
