CIVILIZATION AXD CHIME.
To prove that civilization goes no
deeper than the skin that men and
women of today are but savages
gloseed over with a modicum of cul
ture, a writer in Harper's Weekly
quotes District Attorney Jerome's
statistics of murder in New York
City. Sixty persons, he says, are
slain in anger every' twelve months
" in that city alone. The writer pre
sents Mr. Jerome's figures in an elab
orate and very effective manner. The
situation Is given a personal interest
by the following paragraph:
"Somewhere on Manhattan Island
or In the tironx theie aie walking
about at this moment sixty men and
women who will be murdered be
foie the end oi tiu du. ine iiaiai
at this moment' refers, of course, to
the time of writing; lor if by any
chance the publication of these lines
should bs delnyed one, two or three
weeks, then one, two or three of the
victims who are at this moment en
joying life will have been stricken
down by murderous hands before this
article is generally read. You, sir
or madam, who read these lines may
bo one of the sixty appointed by Fate
to bo 'murdered beforo the year has
passed."
The writer need not have paused.
He might have said that in the entire
United States there are so many
hundred, or thousand citizens who
arc doomed to fall by the hand of the
homicide beforo tho present year is
out. An estimate of the national
total in murders for the coming
twelve months would he very star'
ling, although of no particular sig
nificance. The fact that sixty per
sons must dio in Now York City to
appease the hatred, the jealousy, the
greed of a certain few citizens, proves
nothing in particular, and least of all
tho Imputed sham of civilization.
What, only sixty? Why not more
than sixty? Merely because the civ
ilization of the twentieth century is
genuine. Tho elemental passions of
men have been modified by the train
ing of centuries. The primordial
emotions have been tempered rend
ered loss violent by tho artificial
process of refinement which lias been
in operation since Cain slew his
brother with a club. Men nre slowly
becoming their own masters, aio
gradually learning to govern their
unright impulses. The civilization of
which wo are proud does stand for
somothing, it is real, it exists, It has
limited tho prospective murders of
tho year in New York City to sixty.
Within tho few square miles of
New York City dwell approximately
4,000,000 human beings. Each is in
tent on surviving, on extracting tho
most from life. They interfere with
eacii other's solflsh schemes, they
jostle each other on tho streets, they
moot In constant strife. Their multi
farious interests conflict In a million
different ways, their hopes and as
pirations jangle inhnrnionlously. They
hucldlo together many families of
thoni In apartment houses, In
crowded tenements, In great hotels,
and oach cares only for his own hap
piness, his own nchlovements.
Yet in tho year only sixty will
nmfco themselves sufficiently hated
by or obstructive to tho business or
love plans of their follows to bo
murdored. Only sixty. Concoivo of
4,000,000 peoplo living together In
an earlier ago, and only sixty murd
erod In twolvo months! It Is not In
bistory. It could not havo been a
hundred years ago. Tho sixty vic
tims would have been swelled to six
hundred or six thousand.
Man aro becoming more tomperato,
aro acquiring n higher civilization,
every Tear. But for tho dllatorlness
of our criminal courts tho sixty homi
cides might oven now be reduced to
thirt,'', as unquestionably tho aver
ago will bo reduced, not only In Now
York, but In tho United States, nnd
the world, during tho coming cen
tury. LADIES COATS, tailor suits and

EVrii THE SAME.
When we wore trains that swept the
street
And cleaned the sidewalk off com
plete, And kept the curb all clean 'and neat,
They kicked about it.
And when our skirts climbed up a
bit
Some inches from the dirt and grit,
And showed our shoes, all neat and
fit
They kicked about it.
Dressed in a dinky little hat,
They laughed and peered and smiled
at that;
But when we donned a baby flat,
They kicked about It.
Since they began to write the novel,
I They've told how we, in hall or
hovel,
To catch a man would hunt and
grovel
And kicked about it.
But since a little change began,
And some of, us who've learned the
plan,
Aren't o"ife so crazy for a man
They kick about it.
E'en if the man down on the dump
Will hold his yawp, some college
chump,
D. D. or Prof, will mount the stump
And kick about us.
It seoms they haven't work enough
To run their schools and raise the
stuff,
They've always time to tell how
tough
We are, and kick about it.
Race suicide calls forth their tear,
But let a widow lone appear
With nine at Ellis Isle, they'll steer
Her back, and kick about It.
It beats all H allfax, how sage
And drivelling fools, from age to age
Will still their ponderous minds en
gage With us; no doubt about it
What lordly brain did first begin u?
Good Heaven sake, what Is them pi
It?
Why can't they let us be a ir'nutV
We wouldn't kick about it.
