Masses of dense Ineradicable gloom are cast over

A NEW SOCIETY LIST
t Society people who come slumming to Coney Island
take grave chances says Cop Dooley He arrested
four In a raid and released them when he found the
names they gave In the city directory The chances
these four took was that Capt Dooley would look for
their names in Mrs Asters list of 1BO or the greater
HF of 10 In the mpetpad book or the Newport director
i
rectory
In common with the lute Ward McAllister Capt
t Dooley believes that rodoty Is not a universal term
that It does not cover the entire human family lie
differs wllli Mr McAlllstors dictum as ban Mrs Astor
on the number of persons to be Included under that
heading lie believes In n measure of qualifications In
evidence of membership Ho requires continued resi
dence In one locality for n sufficient period to Insure
the Insertion of the persons name in the book of In
habitants
Persons who have the moving habit who flit from
it flat to flat falling to attract the notice and regard of
r directory namo gatherers must not go slumming In

CANT CONVICT A WOMAN
Car convlot a woman In Burlington County said
t th > fospoutor ot Mrs Phares when the Jury had found
her lit guilty under the Indictment charging that sho
3
jsjiH her hucMnd Isnt that slander Is there
acv county where a woman cannot bo convicted of
murder when the atrocious crime Is proved Even In
VlrxinK li Kentucky where chivalry Is carried almost
K the limit of absurdity where tho simple name of
woman IB an excuse for anything savo the gross
I crltrei conviction of a poisoner would follow sure proof
The trouble In Burlington County seems to be thai
r t It woman was put on trial who should not have been
hared with the crime of murder Her confessed of
t IRKS ngnlnst her husband were erroneously presumed
to n proof of a greater crime These offenses did not
need to bo proved they were freely confessed and did
n < < even furnish a motive for murder The prosecutor
should not blame the people of his county because his
j Judgment was poor because ho bet the machinery ot
the law to work on Insufficient provocation Had he
proved that Mrs Phares poisoned her husband the
woman would have been sent to the penitentiary for
no community it chivalrously mad enough to grant
freedom to a fiend skirted or trousered
THE LUCKLESS JANITOR
When Janitress Edwards braved death in the flames
° r to save three little lives she not only performed an act
of heroism but also scored a point In favor of that much
f nbusp class called and oftener miscalled the Janitor
The comic paper the amateur humorist the chronic
kicker have all found In the Janitor a common butt for
ridicule wit and illtemper
Too often the Janitor deserves the gibes and wrath
he provokes He is sometimes Inefficient sometimes
lazy often surly But how many men in other walks of
life would do better under the same conditions If you
were stationed In the basement of an apartmenthouse
r with thirty families above you each of which held you
accountable for every mishap to provisions garbage
Ale each of which blamed you for tho vagaries of a
f cranky furnace and the condition of the sidewalk each
of which pxpeoted you to attend to Its wants In pref
erence to those of tho other tenants and who used you
as a buffer between Itself and tho landlord how long
I would you keep your temper How few mistakes would
you make
The Janitor is only human But he is human Why
J not regard him as human
THE FIRECRACKER FEST
in the superstitions of many peoples notably tho
Chinese It IB held that we are surrounded by Imps of
evil disposition bad tempered spiteful Intelligences
that must be propitiated or driven away In all the
crises of life they must be regarded If you are boast
ful remember tho evil spirits and assure them that you

member the Imps who wish you evil and convince them
that your Joy is only an outward show that your heart

Colored burning paper to the powers that are oppress

THE MAN HIGHER UP
lie Tells fhe Cigar Sfora Man What fi
Thinks of Seaside Resorting and the
Brooklyn Raffled Transit
I
t HAVI5NT seen much of you lately said the f
1 Cigar Store Man
No replied the Man Higher Up Ive gcm
to the seashore for the summer Ive gone down where
the sad sea waves yammer and snort and slobber and
a soft dank smell makes you wonder whether Gowanua
Canal hasnt shifted the cut with the Gulf stream L
am now the gojds the green goods
Youre lucky ventured the Cigar Store Man to
be able to get away from the heat and dust of the city
to the cool refreshing breezes of the seashore
Aw choke snorted tho Man Higher Up or III J
get a hunch to perform some hard manual labor oa
your countenance Youre about the dozenth ablebodied
specimen of misguided hotair pumpers that have blown
that at me Allow me please to put you hep to tills
oceanside thing
In the first place I had a nice flat uptown There
were windows front and bnrk street cars to all porto
of the Island within a couple of blocks credit at the
corner saloon a firstclass barber shop on the avenue
grocers butchers vegetable dealers and milkmen fight
ing for my trade and a Janitor that was really civilized
I could get anywhere I wanted to go from my fiat la
twenty minutes
Tho business manager of my family wanted to go
away the llrst of June but I displayed such a three
sheet balk that she passed It up until the first of July
You know how it rained nil through June Well I had
I a little gas stove going in ray place and was warm or
cool as I wanted to deal tho gas I thought it was all
off
The other day four large men with brows like e
closed cellar doors invaded my apartment and began to
do things to it I thought at first thai they had been
employed to tear down buildings to make way for the
l
new Pennsylvania station and had got twisted on the
location of tlrelr Job but the business manager said
they came from the storage warehouse I learned then
that we were going to store our goods and live out
where we could see water
I delayed going down there ta Ions as I could but
finally I started This heaUh resort I was steered to Is
reached by the Brooklyn Rattled Transit Company
Maybe you think there are good strenuous hogs on the
Second Third Sixth and Ninth avenue I lines In
Manhattan Say theyre white rabbits compared to the
human swine that scrap for entmnce to the freight cars
with seats in they run on the lines of the Brooklyn
Rattled Transit Company I asked a man who Is
housebroken to Brooklyn about It and he said that It
was a result of their education They have been dolrs
it so long that not to be porcine wouldnt seem natural
Monkeys having been evoluted up to be men it looks
to me that the Brooklyn Rattled Transit Company is h
making a fierce effort to evolute its patrons down to I
ham product
Jetting out to where I am sentenced to spend the L
summer I ran Into the most accommodating masimeet
ing of mosquitoes you ever saw They dined on me and
with me Hot I give you my word that to walk fast
meant to blister the exposed skin FIles All the files
in the world including Barren Island wore there
Drinks were warm and cost more than they do in town
I couldnt sleep because the chickens get up so early
and tell everybody about It The bathtub in my apart 4
ment In the boardinghouse looked like somebody had
been assaying steel rails in it and when I took a dip
In the water the next morning I didnt discover until 1
got uptown that a discarded cigarette package had been
tossed by tho obliging surf into my right ear Oh its
grandYou j i
You dont seem to foe stuck on the seashore
cackled the Cigar Store Man
On the level replied the Man Higher Up Taj
rather spend the summer in the prison ward In Belle 1
vue Hospital than at any beach the ocean ever kissed 6
but Ive signed with my business manager and al
though the mosquitoes have given her once alabaster
visage a close resemblance to a Spanish omelette she
says she IB having the time of her life Every evening
when It comes time for me to start I pray that scme
thIng will happen tu the Brooklyn Ilattled Transit that
will put the kibosh on the whole system and force met
bo hike to tho coolness of upper Broadway rather tham
tho Brooklyn Bridge
