zwm "58F7 ?- rKf 1 DEATH BY THE WIRE Kot Half So Frequent as Annihila tion by Rolling Off Roofs, BUT IT EXCITES LOTS MORE TALK. JTho Disposition to Keglect the Courtesies Dae the fair Sex IS A BBSTJLT OF WOMAN'S PROGRESS fCOEIlESFOXDEXCE OF TUB DI8FATCH. New Yoek, October 2. The elec trical problem gets a thorough proddinj; now and then by the Xew York newspapers. Every time a lineman is roasted by the wires the electrical companies cet "roasted" br the press. "Somebody ought to hang for this," said an indignant "bystander in the excited mob that surrounded the pole on Broadway when they were taking down the dead and partially incinerated body of Lineman Kopp. It is certainly offensive for pleasure seekers coming out of a theater to be con fronted with the horrible sight of the dead body of a fellow creature suspended among the wires in midair and with the still more disagreeable smell of roasting human flesh. It is also offensive to metropolitan tastes. Kobody has been hanged and nobody has been even indicted for manslaughter on ac count of these electrical accidents. Why? Because in every case of the 21 fatal acci dents, with two or three exceptions, the cause was found to be in the carelessness of those who were killed. Leaving out the ex ceptions the victims were men who worked every day among the wires and were fully ecquainted with" the dangerous nature of their business. The case of Lineman Kopp, who worked at night with his rubber gloves in his pockets instead ol on his own hands,is of a piece with most of those cases that pre ceded it, Remsrkoble Recklessness. Tb el fact that Kopp was the twenty-first man killed in the past four years is not so surprising to me as the fact that no more have been killed. "Without offering any ex cuse for the electrical companies, who have shamefully neglected to interpose proper barriers between the publio and the fool killer, it is just as well to draw attention to the bottom tacts. I see linemen every day on housetops and up telegraph poles work ing among the wires without taking any precautious whatever to guard against live wires and dead men. The very morning after the unfortunate Kopp's death a man was up a Broadway pole within two blocks of where the accident occurred, doing pre cisely what Kopp did. 01 course, the cur rents were supposed to be turned off. As a matter of fact some circuit is always in ope ration. These accidents by electricity strike a pe culiar note of terror in the public mind. Columns upon columns are devoted to every one. Tbey turn the city upside down, meta phorically speaking. During the hot weeks o summer another class of fatal acci dents were usually Lunched together in a stickful, two, three tour and as high as five deaths at a time. Rollins Off the Roof. These accidents occurred daily and night ly. They were rolling off of housetops and falling out of windows. For the last hot week I noticed the frequency of these. Every morning at break. ast as I read the paper having the largest circulation, my wife invariably asked me: "How many people rolled off the roof last night?" There was never less than two a day, and ran from that to five. As this class of accidents is almost unknown outside of Xew York, it seems necessary to explain that people here do not mount the housetops for the express purpose of rolling off. They go up there to sleep. The crowded tenement districts are full of peoj.le or other climes where the roof is the most pleasant part of the residence. AVe have not yet adopted the parapet of Italy, but the Italian has adopted onr roof. "When he goes up there to sleep he is in America. After he is asleep he is probably in Italy. If be should be a little restless or somnambulistic he is likely to be somewhere else before morning. Sometimes it is from the roof, sometimes from a window or a fire escape. After the thing is over it is wholly immaterial, as a man who falls four or five stories ton stone pavement is scarcely worth picking up, and this is usually done with the aid of a broom and dust-pan. Looks InconsUtcnt, He is jnst as dead as though he had been killed by civilized lightning. What puz zles me is this: "Why should a man who is killed by an electric wire get 30 or40 columns of obituary and a man who rolls off the roof receive but five or ten lines? It re minds me that Kemmler, who died by wire in a Xeir York prison, got more legal and newspaper attention than Guiteau, who killrd a President. Noliody knows to-day who Kemmler killed. New York has had 21 deaths by electrical accidents within four years one m 'SG. lour in '87, six in '88, eight ia '89, two in '93. Perlup double that number ot persons have fatally roiled off the roof in three months this summer. I can show you New York papers that group these high rollers under a general head in miuor local notices, two to five in a stickful or twoof small type, merely giving name and place and the bare f-ct. litre is a box as large as a peck measure attacned to the last latal pole on Broadwsy. Above it is area nest lor con tributions in aid of the family of the de ceased lineman, Kopp. There is a stack of bills and coin in that box four inches deep. What becomes of the families of the men who roll off the roof? Perhaps the time may come when nn accidental death by electricity sill be just the same as an accidental death by any other way. Just at present elec tricity has the call. Thr Gentlemen of Xcw York. "I have never seen a gentleman in mv year's sojourn in New York," said a young lady from the South the other day. "I mean a 'gentleman' as we understand them in the South." She pronounced the word in that deliciously provincial way so sweet to those who have enjoyed social relations with the people of that section 'Soonth." "I may have met them without knowing it," she continued, "for I am not a mind reader. There are plenty of men to be seen every day here who have the outward char acteristics of gentlemen, good clothes and evident taste, but outward appearances are Very deceptive, and I am no smarter thr.n other people in reading what lies beneath. A Southern gentleman is not only polite to ladies every n here he is considerate of the comfort and pleasure of others. Where do you see these characteristics in public here? In the streets tbey stare a lady out of countenance or puff cigarette smoke in her face. On the street cars or elevated trains they let her hold on to a strap, sometimes even grudgingly moving along where there is ample room lor her to sit. And where an exceptional case occurs and one gets np to offer her a seat, it is done in a manner that says as plainly as so many words, 'I don't like to do it.' Kot So In Dixie. "I have had men offer me a seat in away that made the aet a little short of an insult. A Southern gentleman would not do that I never knew a lady to be compelled to stand up in a public conveyance in the South. More than that, any kind ot a woman would not be allowed to hang on to a strap while a Robust man remained seated. Greater con sideration is shown respectable colored .women in a Southern street car than is 'hown by New Yorkers to ladies. And to each otherl Heavens; but how they treat each other!" There is much justice in the criticism that he New Yorker of the best type is not the 'gentleman" known to the South. The most conspicuous difference is probably ia the lack in the former of that kind courtli ness of manner which has distinguished the Southern gentleman from the earliest period. But I am informed by a well known South erner that this difference is growing pre ceptibly lest, to the discredit of the South. "The social conditions or the South are slowly but surely changing," said he. "Much of it is the natural growth of the new order of things, the business energy and habits of personal Industry being now culti vated. c The Other Side. "A Southerner in business in New York," he added, ",soon becomes a New Yorker, and even the habitual courtesy to women soon gets worn .threadbare. This, however, is as much the fault of womankind as it is the social condition of the metropolis. The New York woman is a creature of self-assertion, independence, indifferent to opinions a marvelous piece of selfishness and im politeness in contact with her own sex. Su perficially speaking, men are just what women make them. The so-called 'gentle men' of any citv will present a pretty ac curate reflex of the character of the 'ladies' of the place. The iountaiu of all social culture lies in women and the stream will not rise higher than its source. So the New York gentleman must not be expected to average any better than his mother, his sis ters and his cousins and his aunts." The New York women of society I have met in public, in street cars, on the ele vated, on Broadway, in the theaters, fully justify this conclusion. A more selfish, im pertinent, case-hardened lot of femininity I never saw anywhere else in Christendom. That politeness which should be in the heart is to her either wholly unknown or else has become seared over with tho usages of her world. Politeness from the other sex is wasted on her. She does not encourage such a thing in public. In private I don't know what she does. Equality of the Sexes. This is a special condition, growing out of an era of colossal fortunes rapidly made and recklessly spent out of the necessity, or opportunity, which makes thousands of women self-supporting and independent of male assistance out of the growing uni versality of club and hotel life in place of home and home circle. It is a condition not essentially inimical to a high civiliza tion, or necessarily discreditable to man hood and womanhood. It is rather a new civilization. A man need not acquire the airs of a dancing master to be a gentleman. Nor do I think it follows that he has the most regard for the opposite sex who hops up whenever a pretty woman enters a car. This is the superficial and common idea of a gentleman, I know, but it is not the common evidence of one in New York now adays. The old time courtesy and elaborate politeness of men and women were, after all, mostly on the surface. The present age is more cold-blooded and truthful. Its polite ness is blunt, its methods business-like. This everyday work of men and women side by side in all the avenues of trade, takes the airy nothingness off ot their rela tions and reduces the sexes to an equality of toil and independence of each other, even in social pleasure. The polite ages, when women were merely toys or serfs, are behind us. Let them remain there, along with re ligious crnelty, the cbivalric duello and human slavery. To us belongs the more expanded time of machinery, equality of the sexes, human freedom and liberal laws. ClIAS. T. MOBBAT.

Subjects to be Discussed in Local' Pulpits To-Morrow. GLEANISGS FROM CHURCH FIELD8 The "Congregational Year Book," recent ly issued for 1890, under the supervision of Rev. Henry A. Haien, of Auburndale, Mass., is a model in its presentation of church statistics. As a statistician MK Hazen has don8 the best work of the year by furnishing in compact form and in a way that makes the facts concerning the past and present of American Congregationalism ac cessible to the inquirer without any waste of time. In a study of the Year'Book lor a few evenings the following facts were elicited: Congregationalism in the United States has had its most complete development in Mas sachusetts and "Connecticut, where the pil grims first planted their stakes. The entire benevolent contributions of the Congrega tional churches the year past amounted to $2,398,037. Of this amount $1,004,660 were contributed by these two States. Massa chusetts quota was $658,079. With a Congregational Church member ship in the United States of nearly 600,000 Massachusetts has over 100,000 and Con necticut close to 60,000. The church which leads all others in the Congregational de nomination is the Broadway Tabernacle, New York, of which Dr. William Taylor Is pastor. The. contributions of this church for the past year to benevolent purposes amounted to $32,590, and for home expendi tures $37,550. Dr. Taylor's salary is $16, 000, the largest paid to any minister of the denomination. Pittsburg Cbprcb Services To-Morrow, Rev. N. E. Johnson, pastor of the Free Will Baptist Church, will nave Eev.
