Irritation of the throat and hoarse ness are relieved immediately by two or three little swallows of Kemp's Balsam, the best cough cure. Grip patients should make a note of this. The Astoria Shorthand Studio, which has been closed for the past two months, is pleased to announce that it will resume its classes of Short hand and Typewriting, beginning March 9, 1908, at its usual place, over Kiggins' Book Store. The complete course is mastered in 8 to 12 weeks, with a speed of 125 words per minute and over, with re view of elementary studies.

NOT IN WORDS, BUT IN DEEDS. HAUTALA & RAITANEN Tailors, Corner Eleventh and Pond Streets ALARM OVER WAVE OF CRIME Plans for Unique and Remarkable Club Has Just Comt to Attention This Week It is the Interstate Club Other New York Notes. NEW YORK, Mar. 6. Now that Manhattan Island has been joined to the rest of the continent by the newly opened tunnel to Hoboken, following by a few weeks the establishment of similar connections with Brooklyn, the city seems to have gone tunnel mad. Certainly there is more inter est and enthusiasm over the subject of underground and underwater travel than has been displayed by the blase metropolis for any event since the opening of the first Brooklyn bridge more than twenty-five years ago. Both the new under-river passages haev been crowded ever since they were first opened and now there are insistent demands from all other di rections for the establishment of simi lar facilities. The second McAdoo tunnel which will unite Manhattan to Jersey City is soon to be ready for traffic and the bores of the Pennsyl vania Railroad tubes under the North and East river are practically icom pleted, although their opening to public use will be delayed by the slow progress of the railroad's huge city terminal Residents of Long Island, especially the owners of real estate, alarmed lest the new tunnels turn the tide of suburban population toward Jersey, are clamoring to have the city buy the Steinway tunnel to Long Is land which has been just built by August Belmont and which he is re ported to be willing to sell for $6,000, 000. The long-pending plan of an ad ditional tunnel and subway route underneath Brooklyn and the East River has been passed upon favorably by the Public Service Commission and the idea of a future extension under the Narrows to Staten Island has been revived. This would complete the connection of all five boroughs of the Greater City by means of tip-to-date transportation facilities. The truth is that New Yorkers have just awakened to the fact that the great armp of residents, suburbanites and strangers, amounting to more than a million persons, which daily flows to and from Manhattan, has been putting up with slow and tedious methods' of travel in and out of the city and they are in a characteristic hurry to have this state of affairs remedied as soon as possible. The expenditures for tunnels and terminals already com pleted or under way will amount to more than $250,000,000. The periodical alarm over "the wave of crime" has struck Xew York again. This time however it is not an epidemic of crimes of violence but one of burglaries and thefts which steadily increases despite Commis-, siohcr Bingham and his Belgian police dogs. The condition is attri buted in part to the large number of unemployed now in the city and the resultant privation and want. A startling feature is the large propor tion of crimes committed by aliens. This subject is to be taken up and discussed by the Liberal Immigration League at a meeting which it to be held on March 10. As its name sug gests the League is against the re striction of immigration by sweeping laws that will bar useful as well as useless voyagers from the old world. It is believed that better results will be attained by deporting aliens who commit crimes after their ar rival here instead of supporting them in jail or leaving them free to prey on the community, as at present, and it is advocating laws that will make this possible. Its platform also calls for the more rigid enforcement of the present laws excluding .'criminals, paupers and victems of contageous diseases and the extension of the period of residence before admission to citizenship from five to 10 years. A significant fact in connection with the league and the measures it cham pions is that many of its prominent members are themselves of. foreign birth. , , llloliMilltefeEffi I a GSM jjlM This limerick lacks one line of completion we will give a half pound Ghirardelli'a Cocoa can full of silver dollars (93) for the best line submitted to complete It.

Although it is to have social, athletic and recreation fea tures equal to those of the most prominent clubs devoted exclusively to these subjects, its primary purpose is to prevent the growth of sectional ism and to secure a better under standing of the needs of all portions qf the country by bringing together in attractive surroundings the thoughtful and influential men of all the states. The club is to occupy 21,000 acres of land near Chattanooga. Tcnn., its present headquarters, where it is proposed to have the finest club house auditorium, game preserves, golf links, automobile courses and other similar features in the country. It is to be the first club in America na tional in scope as well as member ship. Ex-Senator Blackburn of Ken tucky is president of the club, Presi dent Roosevelt and ex-President Cleveland are honorary members, while the list of vice-president is a long roll of national characters, in cluding Speaker Cannon, the gover nors of several states and a number of senators and other public men. Leading men here have taken up the idea with enthusiasm and from pre sent indications the membership from thi scity alone will run into the thousand. As the greatest club city in the country New York has been much interested in a plan for a unique and remarkable club that has just come to its attention this week. This is the Interstate Club which is to in clude membership from all parts of New York bankers, and brokers, who have been keeping themselves in good spirit lately by busily hoist ing prosperity signals, have desisted for the moment to take note1 of a new and threatening cloud on the finan cial horizon. This is the legislation which has recently been proposed at Washington in the form of several bills aiming to abolish all buying, and selling for future delivery on grain, cotton and produce exchanges. The ostensible purpose of these bills is to put a stop to speculation and ficti tious values. It is asserted however by exporters here thai one of the results would be to place the farmers of the country at the mercy of the big milling interests and to expose the consumers to erratic fluctuations in price by putting an end to the pre sent system of marketing the coun try's crops. They point out that much the same experiment was tried in Germany not long ago and raised Grand Masked Skating Carnival Will ba given Tuesday evening, March 10th., Suitable pries, to-wlt: Best dressed lady, pair nlckls plated skates.

One objection which appeals especially to financial interests is the injury which an un stable price for grain and cotton would work to both producers and banks. Therefore the financial and commercial interests are for once in accord with the farmers of the grain belt who are actively memorializing their congressmen against the pro posed bills. The trrcat number of accident cases and consequent suits against the various city transportation lines has resulted in what amounts to the establishment of a scale price of damages for dismemberment and death. The scale is fixed on a purely commercial basis too and sentiment plays no part in it. For instance an award of $150 was made recently to the parents of a two-year-old child that had been killed by a trolley car. The reasoning was that a two-year old child was not an income earner, was in fact a source of expense to its parents. Presumably the $150 was expected to cover funeral expenses A short time before a ballet dancer whose leg had been cut off recover ed $24,500 while a man who earned less money received $10,000 for ex actly the same deprivaton. A steno grapher recently obtained $8,500 for the loss of her thumb and a lawyer $18,500 for the removal of part of his jaw, apparently regarded by the jury as his most valuable asset. While there is logic in this method of asses sing damages it has its perils too, Presumably the street railway un fortunate enough to amputate John D. Rockefeller's coupon-cutting hand would be forced to go out of business through inability to pay the damages assessed against it. MURDER AND SUICIDE. AVON, Conn., March 6.
