Mrs. Bessie Fuchs is dead in
New York, aged ITO. She died
in her sleep, and relatives say
that she was never i'll. She leaves
fifty-two children, grandchildren
and great-grandchildren. If every
woman born did the same, how
long would there be room enough
for us all on earth? Wise Provi-
dence fortunately attends to that.
In any case, we need not worry

"Pop" Anson, famous grand
old man of baseball, is dead, not
quite seventy years old. He
played as professional from 1878
until 1897, when he retired at
the age Of forty-five. People
wondered at his ability to con-
tinue in the game so long.
Young gentlemen with minds
centered ON baseball will observe
that the powers of the mind
outlast the muscles of the body.
A man that depends on his mind
begins his real work at forty

players, prize fighters. and
other athletes are condemned to
sit around for the rest of their
lives telling what they used
to do. . 81. ..

The attitude of the Salvation

that only "bone-drys" are in

future revenue of the Salvation
Army. And that would be a
calamity.

A Good Man for the Bench.

In appointing a Democrat TO the
Supreme Court bench to fill the va
cancy made by the death of BARTow
S. WEEKS, Governor MILLER has
shown that fairness and breadth of
mind which have characterized his
administration.
In choosing EDWARD ]. McGoLpRIcK
for the place the Governor gave evil
dence of his good judgment of men.
When Governor SMITH named Mr..
McGoLpEIcK for a Supreme Court
place in 1920 THE New YORK HERALD
commended the appointment as fit
ting reward for a man who had
spent many arduous years in the
service of the city as its legislative
agent at Albany and who had given
proof of his qualification for a judi

Puss Beats a Trap.
Bright Spot in the Life Of a Grower
of Fruits and Vegetables.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: 1t is a
pity a lot OF the bird loving people do
not have to make their living by raising
fruits and vegetables and trying to save
them from the birds, rabbits, squirrels,
deer and other protected game and
vermin.
Since nuts have become scarce be-
cause the chestnut trees were killed by
blight the gray squirrels have taken to
the corn fields. The farmer should have
the right TO protect his crops against
all kinds of wild birds and animals. II
is O pleasant experience in these days
of high priced nursery stock to set out
young orchard and have the tips
eaten off by deer and the trunks girdled
by field nice. Pussy cannot catch the
deer but she Is . wonderful help with
the mice. For destroying rats and mice
she is away ahead of traps and poison.
From what ! have seen the birds are
mostly able to take care OF themselves.
They are a so able to take care OF plenty
of fruit. Don't exterminate the cat.

The New Pork Barrel.

The Rivers and Harbors Appropria-
tion bill, as reported from commit
tee, carries total appropriations of
about $42,000,O00. This is three
times as much as has been appropri-
ated in any recent year. The COM
mittee, recommending improvements
in thirty-one districts, may be trying
to win back for the measure its old
nickname of Pork Barrel Bill.
But there is a new Pork Barrel,
far bigger than a purse for the widen
ing of Goose Creek or the deepening
OF Prune Harbor The new Pork Bar
rel Bill is measured only by the
limits Of the United States Treasury
and all the taxpayers pockets.
What is a bill for a miserable S42,-
100000, to be spent in only thirty
one Congress districts, compared
with a soldier bonus bill for $1,000
000,0 which will grease the way for
politicians in all Congress districts?
The new Pork Barrel legislation
in the form of bonus hands out
more than one hundred times as
much fat as the old barrel. The
new barrel isn't really barrel at
all. It's a reservoir!

Palestine and the Jews.
The Desert Is Being Made to Yield
Fine Fruits and Vegetables.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Amaz-
ingly few people appear TO grasp the
fundamental facts concerning the sltu-
alton in Palestine.
Up to about thirty-f1ve years ago Pal
estine was a graveyard, a desert, over
which the silence of centuries hung like
a pail. Now that under the hand Of the
Jew the desert is beginning to blossom
like the rosa, along come all sorts of
people, Arabs. natives. and so on, with
all sorts of grievances.
What have the Arabs. Turks. natives,
&C., done for Palestine during the past
five hundred years? Nothing Nothing
at all. Up to 1883 the country was a
dust heap. n ruin.
Now that the Jews are causing dead
bones to live and arc producing the finest
fruit and vegetables in the world up
come these people with their most pre-
posterous and ridiculous grievances.

100000 human beings, but England
has never colonized India.
The British born population of In
dia to-day, including traders and mer-
chants, is little more than 100000.
There is a story told of traveller
taking a drive outside Calcutta and
asking Where are the white men?"
Nowhere" was the only possible
reply. Englishmen have colonized
Australia and Cape Town, they are
settling in the tropics of Africa, but
few white men take root in India.
yiceroy and councillor and garrison
serve their term OF Office or duty and
then go home. There is nothing
permanent but the coming and going

there in the Mutiny. which was

rule which they thought ought to
satisfy Indian aspirations for many
years to come. AZ the Great Durbar

order of things was immutable.
Then came a change. At the Durbar
OF 1903 the keynote was the elephant;

Ireland's Love Of Sport.

ireland has asked to have the next
Olympic games held within her bor-
ders. There is no land under the sun
in which there is greater love for
athletic sports, particularly jumping
and weight throwing, than in ireland.
No other land has produced as many
champions as has Ireland, particu-
larly in weight throwing.
On his latest visit to New York
RICHARD CROKER, in discussing the
fondness OF the Irish for outdoor
sports, spoke Of the Sunday after
noon games common In all parts OF
the island. Striving for nothing
more substantial than the satisfac.

strenuous competitions while they

America Saw I'm Him Something
That England Missed.

z. p. O'Connor in the London Daily Tele-
graph.
There was no man of his time so
learned there was no man of his time
OK steadier, more continuous, 1t might
even be said feverish, energy; there was
no man whom all kinds of educational
Institutes at home and in almost every
country of the world delighted more to
honor with every recognition it was In
their power % bestow. lie wrote abun-
and well. and yet. somehow or other. he
never seems to have achieved half as
much as one would have expected.
There was a want in him somewhere :
il was perhaps the want of personality
that either dominated or attracted; he
neither dominated nor attracted. His
success In America was in this respect
curiously in contrast with the position
he occupied here at home. The Amer
icau people were captiyated with that
personality which wa7 never much In
evidence in his public life in England.
There was one quality he possessed
which above all made a direct appeal to
the American public. There is no ma
tion in the world tlIat has so inexhaust-
ible an appetite for listening to speeches,
and especially speeches from which they
hope to get instruction. II is a ma
tion OF people that in a sense never
ceases to go to school. Its speech max
ing accordingly has a seriousness
sometimes one might even venture to
call it a portentousness-whic is un-
knn t. In, hall - -
college or the university.
OF that kind OF speaking Bryce was a
greater master than any man of his
time. His vast learning, his astound-
ing memory, his experience from first
hand of so many lands-all these things
gave series of topics that could never
be exhausted even In two lifetimes as
long as even his long tale Of years. Add
to hs that he had quite lnexhaustible
physical energy. Even when he was
approaching eighty he rushed through
the streets-always, even In cold
weather. in a ;,ght overcoat-at a pace
that made men half his age breathless.
To him, therefore, 1t was neither n
bore nor hardship to travel even the
immeasurable distances of such a vast
continent az America. If a college in
New Hampshire invited him to address
item, It did not prevens him. sometimes
within the same week. from going to
another college down in the far South.
though the distances travelled might be
as great as from London TO Petrograd.
In short, he was a man after Americas s
own heart, and it was no surprise that
she gave him an admiration that was
perhaps never given to any British Am
bagsadur before.

Irish horses have more bone than
those of any other country. Irish
steeplechasers excel those of other
countries and the quality of Irish
hunters is known wherever the dew
otees of the chase are found. Lime
stone in the water is given credit
for the development of the bones of
horses in Ireland. Doubtless the
same condition has something to do
with the strength and resiliency char
acteristic of Irish athletes.

All the ancient testers were saying

a concert in Aeoiian Hall. In days now
historic 1t was proverbially pad weather
when the Kneisels played. But last
evening the entertainment was the third
subscription concert of the Flonzaley
Quartet. and the audience, like those OF
Kneise, days. declined TO be cheated of
its pleasure because rain fell and winds
blew.
The program consisted of Ernest
Bloch's quartet In B major, Haydn's in
% fiat and Schumann's in A miner
Bloch's quartet was produced here by
the Flonzaley organization December ~
1915, and last night had its second henri
ing. Much OF Mr.. Bloch's other work
has been made known, and all of it has
deepened the impression created by his
introduction some years ago that he Is

the natural expression of his artistic
temperament
The quartet is not without the strons
Hebraic tinge found in most of Blochs
music, and at the same time il Is opuient
in what are called modern harmonies.
Furthermore. 1t Is laden with instru-
mental device and with sharply drawn
contrasts between ensemble and solo
utterance. 1t is clear in form, but the
subject matter is not easily assimilated
by the hearer and the developments are
often singularly complex and even
puzzling.
But there are many pages of char
acteristic beauty in the composition,
especially in the slow movement AS a
whole the quartet carries with 1t the
conviction of lofty aspiration, coupled
with peculiar mannerisms of expression
and idiosyncrasies Of style which are
likely to keep it In seclusion much OF the
time.
Adolf Betti and his associates had be-
slowed upon this music extraordinary
care. 1t would not be possible prob
ably to give the work a warmer more
impassioned or finished performance.
Technically 1t is a formidable test Of
tone and intonation and this test the
Flonzaley players met triumphantly. 1t

Ricci Remains at Washington.

The new Facta Government at
Rome very wisely retains Senator
VITToRIo RoLANpI RIccI as Italy's
Ambassador to this country, diplo-
matte post which he has filed with
distinction for more than year.
The Premier in a message person
ally urged Senator RIcoI to remain,
and in this he was heartily seconded
by the Foreign Minister, DR..
ScHANzER, who as Italy's able repre-
sentative at the Washington Confer
ence showed such a thorough under
standing of the relations between the
United States and his own nation.
The duties of the Italian mission
to this country impose very large
responsibility and much hard work
upon the Embassy at Washington;
there Is an enormous representation
of people of italian descent in Amer
lea and the commercial intercourse
between the two nations has grown
greatly in recent years. Senator
RIccIs immediate predecessor, Baron
CAMILo AvEzzANA, had been sig
nally fortunate in the performance
Of his duties and in the friendships
made in this country, and 1t was
perhaps not a little difficult for
the Government at Rome to find a
successor to him.
Baron CARLO ALIoTTI was first des-
ignated for the post. His thorough
understanding of the Adriatic and
Balkan situation, however, made his
counsel of such distinctive value to
Premier GIoLITTI that he was subse-
ouently retained in Italy as one OF
the Premier's chief advisers. Sena-
tor RIccI's appointment followed. IL
was received with warm satisfaction
by those who knew him personally
or by reputation. His whole dipio-
matte course since has been such as
to justify the expectations of his
friends and to gain him high esteem
in America.
Senator RIccI is north Italian OF
marked intellectual vigor and power.
In his university days he devoted
much Of his time to the study OF
economic subjects and he is sound
and clear on such matters. After
ward in his legal practice he gave
special attention TO commercial, mari
time and mercantile law, both Italian
and foreign, and became recognized
as European authority on these sub
jects. His utterances upon interna-
tionaI finance have been strong and
sensible. He is man of strong con-
victions, which are founded upon
close study and practical experience,
and these he has expressed with
forcibleness and clarity.
Senator RIccI is real find and
both the United States and Italy are
fortunate in having him retained as
Italian Ambassador at Washington.
