COMEDY AND TRAOEDY.
The fashionable gamblers of Mem-
phis do not on toy a taste of their own
brand of condemnation. It Is an ex-
ceedingly humorous situation that ha*
developed in that town In consequence
of the efforts of the reform element to
compel the mayor to open a ernsade
against the gambling bouses. He
balked at the proposition until a com-
mittee of the leading citizens Insisted
that he should undertake the task of
cleaning out the gAtne* of chance.
Then he yielded to their Importunltle*,
hut In consenting he deeply offened
them by declaring It Is the experience
of the- police that most of the defalca-
tions In business are not the result of
gambling In regular gambling place*
so much as the "gentlemen games.”
J Hence be intimated that these "gen-
I flemen” can aid the authorities by gtv-
j ing up the habit and he presses the
j i>olni further by suggesting that the
women can assist in the moral move-
ment by refraining from offering valu-
able prises on games of chance.
The mayor’s intention* were firoba-
Up- good. but. he has stirred up all
kinds of trouble among the “boat soci-
ety” of th city. Indignal ion meetings
have denounced his language as
"ruth, senseless and Insulting," and
the feelings of the regent of the
Daughters of the American Revolution
have been so Inflamed that she has
expressed herself In more fiery falk
than llrvan has applied to the St.
I amis ticket. It Is observable, how-
ever. that amid all the wrath that is
being poured upon the mayor there Is
not a single forcible dental that ho has
not spoken the truth concerning the
gambling habits of the upper classes
of Memphis.
And In more places than Memphis
Dm financial conditions of the heads
of families are still further embar-
rassed by having to buy handsome
prizes to be offered by their wives at
small card parties. At the same time
Do- husbands are compelled to "stand
Off" their bills around town. How
many men have resorted to forgery
and embezzlement to meet the de-
mands of fashion’s follies?
them still. And If anybody totals
that boob 1* a lobster, just because he
got* red from having things of that
kind blamed on him, well—let them
think so.
The Chicago Chronicle has learned
from a reliable source that the report
that Jim Corbett was shot was only
half true.
Senator Fatrhanks says he can taste
a drink of whisky he -took twelve
years ago. Oee! what bouquet It must
have possessed!
Those democratic politicians who
are deserting the parly perhaps think
they see better pickin’ over In the
republican pasture lot.
Mrs. Maybrlck may not come to
America, Under the terms of her pa
role she Is not a! to wed to dally with
one night lecture stands.
The meat strike Is having no per-
ceptible effect, on the Chicago sausage
industry. The dog catchers do not
favor a sinypathetic strike.
The report that the inhabitants of a
New Jersey town in the applejack belt
are being terrorized by snakes will
cause no surprise In W, C. T. 17, cir-
cles.
With Frank Bell doing the demo-
cratic millionaire act at Avalon, Park

ling Oreun, .7. Stolaroff plunging Into

claiming her share of attention at the
summer resorts.
AN AMERICAN VIEW OF IT,
'Consul Mullen's opinion that Ameri-
can consul? In Mexico have no busi-
ness to make Inquiries Into the killing
of American citizens In that country
an l report fully on the same, will not
result in this government changing Its
laws to milt Scnor Malian's views. Tin
Mexican consul's Interviews, published
til the afternoon pa per- were no doubt
intended as u criticism of an editorial
In these columns yesterday morning.
It Is the duty of our consuls In every
foreign country to inquire diligently
Into any outrage or wrong perpetrated
upon an American citizen In a foreign
coimtrv and to acquaint the depart-
ment at Washington with all the facts,
no matter whether the officials of the
foreign country are prosecuting the
case or not.
Consul Mullen is quoted bv an after-
noon paper a* saving: "It Is ridicu-
lous to talk of United States consular
Interference In the matter of prosecu-
ting the murderers, for the prosecu-
tion Is entirely with the judicial de-
partment of Mexico and I have assur-
ance through the governor of the
state that the murderers will he vig-
orously prosecuted and If found guilty
will he punished."
No oue has demanded consular In-
terference In the prosecution of the
Aguascallentes murderers, hut wo do
demand, In the name of the murdered
man's friends In this country, that the
American consul of the Aguaseallente*
district furnish full Information rela-
tive to the murder, and he Is not to
dismiss the case with a report that the
murderers have been arrested and will
be prosecuted. It Is his duty to see
that they are prosecuted vigorously
and If they are not report the fact to
the state department.
It was ten day* after Way had been
murdered before the American consul
at Maztxlan reported on the matter.
The slate department at Washington
may not be a* well Informed as Con-
sul Mallcn as to the duties of Ameri-
can consuls, but when the department
learned through the newspapers that
an American had been killed at Aguas-
calteutea the department thought H of
sufficient Importance to call on Its con-
sul to Investigate and report fully on
the matter. Our state department and
onr people are duly thankful to Con-
sul Mallcn for bis assurances, but they
haWr-also asked assurances from their
owSwconsu!, on the ground that the
OaNp.of Way are hein* properly
prosecuted. ,
PLEASED THEM WITH TAFFY.
F. M. Thorn of the Buffalo Times
editorial staff, writing to his paper
from Oyster Bay, says:
The delegation of miners—-one
from Colorado and two from Penn-
sylvania—who went over to deliver
to President Roosevelt, a petition of
225,000 miners, asking httn to Inves-
tigate the outrages perpetrated upon
the mine workers of Colorado, hud n
variegated experience. They met
Hecrelary !,oeb at Oyster Hay and
were told that they couldn’t see the
president,, lie offered to lay their
petition before the president, but ns
their bodies bad never received any
acknowledgement of Die receipt of
similar documents previously sent, to
the president, they had been Instruct-
ed to present these papers personally
to him. I,ueli still Informed (hem that
a persona! Interview could not be ar-
ranged and suggested that they call,
with their paper*, ou Chairman Cor-
teiyou In New York, which they da
rlined to do and returned to Pennsyl-
vania, expressing much dissatisfac-
tion, The episode was similar to that
a year or two ago In which an Invi-
tation to the president to a dlaner of
the Hnwanhakn Corinthian Yacht club,
ill which Hlr Thomas Upton was to
be a guest, was brusquely* declined,
with an Intimation that since Presi-
dent Roosevelt had ceased to wear
fringed buckskin trousers, his legs
had got too proud to associate wltn
vulgar apii luidtslluKulsIied legs under
n banquet table. As usual, poor Loch
had to assume the blame for the faux,
pas, or the eontrelerapts, or whatever
the Oyster Bay cynonym Is for a
slipped cog, and to confess, In me-
taphorical cask-cloth and ashes that
the air of "pride, rank pride, and
haughtiness of soul" pervading the
letter of regret, was officially utiai,
ihorlzed. 'Oh, why should the spirit
of mortal lie proud?" Especially In
the legs?" queried Loch, In his letter
of apology for Ills supercilious note
of the previous day.
And In this case of the disgruntled
committee of miners, when the wires
began to hum with the story of lltelr
turning down, Loeli began to hum
with explanations. The president was
busy having his picture taken wttn
Fairbanks and Cortolyou. He couldn’t
reach him with (he phone No call
era received without previous appoint-
ment "Kt Oeterer" as yellow plnaft
would, nay. And before the wicked
democrats could let a rebel yell over
the president’s snobbery, (he sacri-
ficial Loch had kicked himself all over
Oyster Bay and the residue of his ana-
tomy, for not 'phoning up Sagamore
Hill and giving Roosevelt a chance
to welcome the boys. So the delega-
tion went over again, called on the
president. Hers-Kovlts was recognis-
ed by Rooaevolt as a Chilian war sol-
dier at Tampa, and given a card on
which the president had written "To
my old Comrade Henry llers-Kovlts,
Theodore" Rooaevelt, July 19, 1904,"
which card he displayed with oestaey
ami the remark that the president,
"treated us In a perfectly lovely man
nor."
In the flurry of gratified vanity their
own resentment and the suffering of
their followers In Colorado, were for-
gotten, and the next day the president
announced that ho could do nothing
for the Colorado miner*, but the de-
panmnient of eomeroe and labor has
its eye on tholr affaire—which Is all
It seems to have on anything.
It Is no exaggeration to say that the
delegation was easily satisfied. When
the captain of a CloUcester fishing
schooner kicked the mate In the lee
scuppers—and several other plaees--
rite mate was very Indignant. But
the moment the captain apologized for
not having any 'fish lie" aigtanl with
which, to "Int” the mate A hnilsw,
the mate brightened upland said:
“That’s all right, capture. I'm no
kleker. All 1 want is Joyt a little com-
mon politeness, ’n—corflmon at that."
That seems to have I (ism at the dele-
gation wanted. Roosevelt could do
nothing for their ill-treated friends la

WOMAN LOAFER*.
(New York Press.)
"Tin hardest part of my work la
not catching shoplifters, but weeding
out loafers from the ladles’ parlor.”
said a department store detective
when questioned about his duties.
"You can handle u thief, Imt you have
to be mighty careful about disting-
uishing between a patron who avails
herself of the privileges of the wait-
tug room am! the chronic loafer In
petticoats.
"Maybe you don’t bellovo me, but It
you will come and see for yourself,
you will find Wffmou In lino for the
opening of our doors who tiro not in
search of bargain*. Instead, they have
a morning paper or magazine or book,
and make a bee line for the ladles’
parlor. There they select an easy
( hair, draw It .near a window, or to
where the light falls on their booh,
am) read. At noon they go to the
restaurant or lunch counter In the
store for a blto to eat, and then back
to the parlor to their book*.
When a girl or woman lias done tills
long enough for us to spot her, say
for five or six days or more, 1 ask
her what the Is doing there. Home-
times they flare up and make a scene,
but usually they slip out quietly
enough—and go to- another store I 1
suppose.
I have watched this class of wo-
men closely and have found that some
of them are girls supposed to be at.
work, and they put In the entire day
here, going home when iho stores all
over the retail district clAse, Oth-
ers are supposed to be limiting posi-
tions, when In reality they don't want
work at all. But 1 believe a lot of
them come here for the physical com-
fort. Perhaps they live In stuffy
apartments, while this room Is airy
and comfortably furnished. Then
some gills come here to dodge help-
ing with the housework, Some of
them do not even read, but sit illy
with folded hands and watch the
Crowds.
"The main trouble with those wo-
men Is that they take all the lies*
chairs, lie on the couches and prevent
our customers front enjoying the priv-
ilege* we provide for them. Anothe*
one of their tricks Is to bring lunch
ami try to eat It behind the cover of
u paiier or magazine. This la against
the rules, as the parlor Is no lunch
room ami food draws files.

An Indianapolis negro dropped a
watermelon to rescue n child from
the wheels of an electric car. The
world should doff its hat to such unsel-
fish heroism as that.
