CHICAGO. July 4.--Interest in the
Geasures of the Art Institute of Chi
Cago reached a new high mark in the
past year, while the physical expan-
sion Of the institution kept pace with
the CONSTITUTIONAL growth Of the city.
Approximately $1,000. 900 was spent in
new buildings and installations at the
institute, and 1884 more persons
were registered as visitors than at
tended the previous year.
Membership showed similar gain.
The total membership now is 14132,
an increase of ,112 in the year. Spe-
cial significance was attached to the
fact that 1880 of these were life mem.
bers.
Eighty exhibitions were held during
the year. which were observed by

susceptible to infections. To guard
against this they will be kept in a

from them biologically that neither
would be likely TO catch any disease

1t is obvious. DR.. Mann says, that
the Zoo here cannot expect to COM
pete with some other institutions in
the matter of outright purchase, Few
wealthy individuals are willing to
give large sums to a Government in
Stitution. On the other hand, the CO.
operation of all branches of the Gov
ernment. he believes, will in a few
years make the collection so varied
that no other can approach it, and
it will be an attraction for naturalists
and students the world over to come
to Washington.
English Have Built Up Zoo.
European government ZOOS have
largely been built up in this fashion.
London has all the far-hung British
provinces to draw from. English diplo-
matte agents and military and naval
officers long have bent every effort
to secure specimens. AS a result, the
London zoo is unapproached.
France has practically the same ar
rangement, but thus far has not been
able to build up so good a zoo in Paris
as the one in Washington.
DR.. Mann is keeping a careful record
of all the visiting parties, to demon
strate the increasing interest. Last
year 100000 visited the park. This
compares with 100000 who visited
the Bronx zoo in New York, drawn
from the 100000 people in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the metropolis.
Our Government Zoo said Dr.
Mann, lis one in which we can Justly
take pride. 1t is a remarkably fine
collection, but it is worthy of all the
efforts we can make to better it. 1t
is difficult to overestimate the edu-
cational value of such a place. There
is a need of buildings, of course
They are certain to come. They are
absolutely essential to the proper eX-
hibition of our collection,
But we will find room to keep com
fortably, safely and humanely any
worthwhile specimens we obtain.
They may not go on exhibition at
once, but that does not mean that
they will not be cared for Just as
carefully as those creatures which are
before the public every day.

NAL collection is unrivaled With the
collecting resources of the Government
services behind us there is no telling
to what an extent we may go.

KEEP YOUR SHIRT ON!

Don't get excited about paying
tolls on the Camden-P Philadelphia
Bridge. Nobody questioned the law
providing for tolls on the Jersey
New York Tunnel. Both New York
and New Jersey agreed on that.
Tolls are to be collected until the
Tunnel is paid for, and then it will
be free to the public.
Tolls are already being paid on the
ferries plying on both the Della
ware and Hudson Rivers, AND THE
DELAYS IN GETTING OVER ARE
FRlGHTFUL.
Nobody with common sense will
object to paying the same toll on a
bridge or tunnel when it means
rapid transit. ESPECIALLY WHEN
IT MEANS THAT EVERY DOL
LAR PAID Is BEING USED TO
PAY OFF THE COST AND PRO
VIDE FREE TRAFFIC.

BUSINESS Is GOOD

There is no reason, no excuse for
the coal strike, bringing idleness to
10000 miners and 10000 railroad
ers. The country needs coal and has
the money to pay for it.
Business is good. The value of
crops will be ten thousand million
dollars. Farmers are more cheerful,
prices high.
Commercial activities in cities are
improving steadily. Extraordinary
showings will be made for August
by many department stores and
other big institutions.
A bit of sense, with willing
ness to give and take, would have
averted the coal strike to every
body's profit. Trenton Times.

"BIRDS OF A FEATHER"

There is only one animal more
reprehensible than the man who
seduces another mans wife-and
that is the wife who becomes a
partner in the crime. But this is a
threadbare saying, and it has been
repeated so many times in so many
ages that it does not penetrate the
mind deeply enough.
Under the Mosaic Law the guilty
parties were stoned to death; in
different ages and in different
countries every punishment known
to man has been meted out for the
crime-many of them brutally Sc
we're; public whipping posts have
been used; guilty offenders have
been used, guilty offenders have been
exposed to public odium in the
stocks, they have been publically
branded for adultry; in our own
age we merely imprison them.
But regardless of the punishment,
no right-minded citizen will coun-
tenanee the crime, And every law
depends for its enforcement upon
the approval Of public sentiment,
Citizens who denounce the perpe-
tration of such fragrant immortality
are to be commended--it is their
duty to see that such offenders are
brought to justice or else driven
from the community.
The policy of this paper does not
ordinarily peddle scandal. But it
cannot be silent when such an overt
violation threatens its foundations of
decency and right living.

Tag days are annoying things at
best; but when they are perpetrated
for doubtful charities by strangers
who receive large percentage for
their collections then tag days be-
come reprehensible.

that if any tag days are held they

IT MIGHT HELP!

IL mlGHI HELI!
The country has about reached the
end of its patience with reckless
automobile drivers. The chief of
police of a mid-western city pro-
poses to compel automobile drivers
who kill, to appreciate more serious
ly their responsibility. He proposes
to place them alone with the dead,
and keep them there for an hour,
OF course he has no law to uphold
him in this method, but says: "some-
thing has to be done to curb reck-
less drivers" and he is going to do
it. He has the support of the cor
oner, and apparently that of the
public. Other states have expert
mented with methods but none with
the means this chief of police has
devised. 1t is a gruesome method,
yet may be worth trying. No mat
ter how reckless a man may be
driving a car, he will hardly relish
an hour alone with his dead victim.
Even hardened criminals shun their
dead victims. This gruesome method
will be watched with interest the
country over. -Centralia News.
