Jeweler Faints
ln Subway and
Loses $4,000
Gems in Wallet Taken FROM
Inside Pocket of Coat,
Nassau Street Merchant
Reports 10 the Police

Hartog Menist, jeweler in busine ess
at % Nassau Street, staggered into the
Oak Street police station Yesterday
noon to report that he had been robbed
OF $4,000 worth of gems when he
tainted on a southbound Lexington Ave
nue. express at Fourteenth Street. By
the time. he reached the station house
the combined effects of the il ness
which made him unconscious on tn /,
train and the shock he suffered when
he discovered his loss had so badly
shaken him that he was hardly able to
retu n alone to his home, 1O9 Dahill
Road. Brooklyn.
Mr.. Menist told the police that the
stones had been in a wallet in an inside
pocket of his coast when he felt fol
them just second before he dizzy spell
which ended in his fainting came on
He was positive that they could not have
fallen out, and declared that some one
who had stood over him when he lost
consciousness must have stolen them
The thief had plenty of time to effect
said, for he could remember nothing
from the moment when he sank into a
seat at Fourteenth Street until some
one aroused him at Fulton Street. The
de ectives at the station calculated the
interval as between five and six minutes
The thief, they concluded, must have
made his getaway at Brooklyn Bridge.
The jeweler said that he had taker
the gems with him to show to a pros
pective customer at Fifth Avenue and
Forty fourth Street, and had boarded
the express at Grand Central. The
run to Fourteenth Street he made or
the platform of the crowded car, but
just as he felt he was going to faint
he found seat. His next recollec
tion was of being reused at Fulton
Street.
What hurt him most was that the
stones had been in his possession only
on acceptance. He has been known in
the jewelry trade for the last ter
years.

High seas and a stormy PASSAGE
We're reported by the passengers and
crew of the French liner LAFAYETTE.
which arrived here yesterday, bringing
423 travellers from Havre. Captain
victor bourdet, commander of the ves-
sell declared that she had met last Sat-
urday the same equinoctial cyclone that
Is now said to be damaging ships on
the Atlantic, and that, though the force
of the storm was not more than that
OF moderate gale, there were tre-
mendously long and high rollers ac-
companying it. AS consequence, the
captain had to order the passengers to
remain below at one time for nearly
a day No damage, however, resulted
from the storm on the Lafayette.
One of the first persons off the
Lafayette, which was day behind her
schedule because she was delayed
twenty-three hours in sailing by the
general strike in Havre, was w. Bourke
Cochran, hurryng to attend the Demo
cratic convention in Syracuse Mr.
Cochran refused to express any polit-
ical opinions, saying politics was what
he had come here to find out about.
He and Mrs. Cochran have been four
months in Italy, France and England.
Though they spent some time visiting
Mrs. Shawn Leslie, Mrs. Cockran's sis
ter, in the latter country, they did not
visit Ireland.
Professor Gottheil Returns
Another passenger landing in hurry
was Professor Robert Gottheil, of the
chair OF Oriental language at Columbia
University, who was retarded in the
opening of his college work by the
Lafayette's delay. Accompanied by his
wife, he has been away since May, stay
ing in France, England and &Switzer-
land.
Others on board were Nine. Lucille
Delcourt, harpist of the Boston Sym
phony Orchestra, and Jean Bedetti,
first ce'loist of the same orchestra;
n. P. Calling, vice president of. the
Chatham and Phenix Bank; jacques
Cartier. who has been studying new
styles of European jewelry, with his
wife and children; Caro- Delyaille,
French portrait painter; Mrs. Jacob
Riis and her son, Roger w. Riis.
The Mongolia, of the American Line,
which also arrived yesterday, bringing
tof passengers, reported Sne nad had
fine weather all the way from Ham
burg, completely missing the storm that
hit the Lafayette.
Three Stowaways Found
Three stowaways were found on the

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. 27.
A precedent in the United
States District Court in Connect
cut was established to-day when
the Federal grand jury presented
an address to Judge Thomas after
the jurors had sat for some time
considering indictments. The ad-
dress urged the need of "a still
stricter enforcement Of the Eigh-

The address called on the peo-

He Lived to Prove His Case.

DR.. JAMES M. PEBBLES, who long
ago wrote How to Live a Century"
is dead at the age of 80 years 10
months and 20 days. If he had lived
until March % he would have proved
his case to the very day. AS it is,
most persons will agree that he came
close enough to the century mark to
establish respect for his theory of
longevity.
Dr. PEBBLES was vegetarian. He
did not smoke or drink. He went to
bed at $3.50 P. M. and rose at 6 A. M.
He avoided worry. He worked untn
he was so as doctor and afterward
busted himself with his intellectual
hobbies. Not everybody will be will
ing to give up meat, tobacco and late
hours even for the sake Of living to
be hundred years old.
1t is likely, however, that a man
who sets firmly out for the century
mark will find that the first ninety
years are the hardest.

Church and Theater.
William Fayersham on the Rev. Mr.,
StratOn's Utterances.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Will you
please give publicity to this note in
space as prominent as that given to the
controversy between Mr.. William Brady,
theatrical manager. and Mr.. John r.
Straton. pastor Of church?
/ think the newspapers are giving too
much publicity to the matter and the
public that have been caught by the al
legged controversy too much concern.
/ am almost convinced that this Mr..
Straton is and has been for the past f1f-
teen years completing his eligibility for
one of the highest salaried mucllrakers
of our time through the medium of lee
ture tour, moving picture or some sensa-
tional publication; and 1 have no doubt
that in a very short time we shall dis
cover who his manager Is to be.
If by any chance time proves that my
assumption Is incorrect then think Mr..
Straton must be taken in hand seriously.
1t Is duty we owe to the future of our
wives and children; he must be taught
to respect their positions socially and
Spiritually. and the body that controls
the church In which he Is permitted to
shrek out his unprecedented knowledge
OF vice must be asked to clean house.

The Health of Nations.

Assistant Surgeon-General WHITE
Of the United States Public Health
Service in the February Bulletin Of
the Pan-American Union suggests
changes in the methods OF interna-
tional sanitary conferences which,
he is convinced, would be productive
of valuable results. There have been
six of these conferences. None Of
them has been followed by the con-
crete results which had been hoped
for them.
Yet all of these gatherings were
interesting assemblies. Matters Of
Importance to the medical profes-
sion were discussed. There was an
interchange of reports on local sani-
tation in the countries represented

riety of game at their command. He
made a chart of the western coast
of Ellesmere Land and described the
region as having beds of coal and
other minerals and as being a hunt
er's paradise on account of its great
abundance of animal life. The re-
ports which he brought back led to
an unusual interest in the land and
in the possibilities of whale fisheries
along its coast, an interest which,
the Canadian Government says, has
caused covetous nations to cast long
ing eyes upon it.
Canada has learned from her own
experience and from that of other
nations that the potentialities of the
polar regions in commercial resources
are not to be despised.

BY W.. j. HENDERSON.

The program of the ninth afternoon
concert of the Symphony Society in Car
negie Hall yesterday presented for the
pleasure OF large audience the Attn
symphony of Tschaikowsky. Schuberts
"Wanderer" fantasia as arranged by
Liszt and Scrabini's ''Poeme de TEX
tase." The pianist was Alexander
Siloti. or him first. Mr.. Siloti Is a
I4iszt pupil, or rather was one long
time ago. Perhaps he remembers and
practices everything that Liszt taught
him, especially about the performance
of the "Wanderer' fantasia, for which
the famous pianist and teacher ex-
pressed a fervent admiration.
1t is quite as probable that Mr.. Siloti
has forgotten much of what Liszt taught
him and has consciously or even uncon-
sciously substituted for 1t his own con-
ceptions. Let us trust that the latter
is the case. 1t would be discouraging
to believe that an artist could remain
the servant of his teacher till his hair
had turned gray. 1t is more pleasant
to think that the interesting and for
the most part beautiful reading of the
fantasia which we enjoyed yesterday
was the product of Mr.. Siloti's own mind
and not lesson learned in years now
historical.
Mr.. Coates, who directed his last
Thursday concert previous to the return
of Mr.. Damrosch interpreted the fifth
symphony with affectionate and even
anxious care. He was born in Russia.
although he is an Englishman. and
doubtless deeply feels his responsibilities
when he Is conducting the compositions
of Russian masters. The e minor SYM
phony of Tschaikowsky is much better
work than some of the apparently
friendly commentators ask us to believe.
and the deep breathed cantabile of its
slow movement is one of Tschaikowsky' s
most engaging and unaffected concep-
tions. The horn solo could have been
played better in respect of tone and
phrasing. The waltz languished little.

Those who can soar with Mr.. Scriabin
into the regions of such ectasies as ne

Iebating society then this objective

debating society then this objective
was attained.
But this is very wide of the idea
on which these conferences were
based This idea, Assistant Surgeon
General WHITE says, was to reach
conclusions and translate them into
practice in different countries so as
to lease trade and travel from a
large part of the quarantine re-
straints now imposed. That goal has
not been attained. Assistant Sur
geon-General WHITE thinks it cannot
be reached through the medium Of
disjointed biennial assemblies which,
although excellent in themselves. al
ways tend to assume the nature of
great medical society meetings
Better results would be obtained,
he believes. by creating delegations
consisting of at least five sanitarians
from each nation. These delegations
in combined discussions, during re-
cesses of the main body, would
formulate programs Of action for the
consideration of the conference. If
conclusions thus reached could be
translated into laws or enforceable
regulations then international sani-
tation would advance instead of
marking time.
In addition he would have sani-
tary as well as naval and military
attaches to legations. Their duties
would be to exercise friendly
watchfulness over activities for the
protection of human life, as con-
trasted with activities tending to de-
stroy it. Typhus fever, malaria,
smallpox, plague, cholera, leprosy
and many other diseases need not ex-
list. BY international cooperation
they may be eliminated. With their
elimination most of the quarantine
bars that now block and handicap
commerce would go down.

Elevated Pa;'road History.
Owners of IL. . Injured Re-
covered Damages.


To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Concern
ing your article of February Is with
regard to the Forty-second street elevated
railroad spur and the property damages
involved The Third avenue elevated rail-
road, including the Forty-second street
spur, was built in 1873, not 1870. The
Tweed Rings finish came in 1871. The
Doodle Aldermen were the Aldermen OF
1884.
Damages suffered by property owners
because Of the erection of elevated rail-
roads in front of their premises were re-
covered by the property owners in ac-
tions prosecuted in the courts and the
judgments were collected as any other
judgments against the city were col
lected.
Attempts to collect damages from the
city on the ground of interference with
the easement of light were unsuccessful
because the doctrine of ancient lights,
though part of the common law of Eng
country. The theory was finally worked
out that the erection of the elevated
railway in street was not the ordinary
and proper use to which to put a street
and that property owners were therefore
entitled to damages because the city had
permitted the use of the streets for other
than the ordinary and proper use.

Invading Commerce.
Residence Districts Obliterated and
Family Hotels Torn Down.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Desira-
BILE residence localities in different parts
Of New York city are being sense
lessly obliterated in order to provide
commercial buildings. There is no ne
cessity to excuse it on the false claim
of progress. People do not require to
have their shopping under their noses,
but are willing to go to shopping dis
tricts for what they want.
Note the disappearance one after an
other of the select family hotels, where
refined. quiet surroundings have been
sought by those who desire them. There
are undoubtedly reasons for the disap-
pearance of some of them. Plans are
being made to tear down practically the
only remaining one. Such unnecessary
despoliation should be forbidden.
