It was a curious thing to ses the administrator pay off the men. They gather tn the yard and waited for their names to be called. Some of them do not know the figures, co they have a set of signs which are placed along the line after their name on the book, according to the amount due them for work. The clothing of these men consis:s of cotton psnts, a shirt of the same mate- rial, and a red blanket for their shoulders, When a storm comes the pants are rolled up as far as they will go, and the brown legs are exposed to the elements. A siraw cape protects the back. It is ingeniously Woven so that strips of the straw hang in regular rows on the outside like a fringe, and the water runs off as it does from a duck’s back. While we were at dinner one day an old man came to the door. He had on a tat- tered “zerape” and wore sandals. These consist of a piece of leather the size of the sole of the foot, with a strap wound from the large toe around the ankle—the same pattern, probably, which was worn in the Savior’s time. He used a heavy stick for a cane. My husband greeted him in an en- dearing manner, as they had met before. As I rose to bring a chair, the old Indian said, with a very low bow, holding his old straw hat in his hand, the red handker- chief remaining in the crown of it, “I am a very rustic man; I know nothing of polite- ness.” Yet there was an intelligence and a dignity of bearing that commanded re- Pi 1anos. A product of Baltimore enterprise with an in- ternational reputation for excellence. * Wm. Knabe & Co., 1422 Penn. Ave. N. W. 0c14-28d A BARGAIN.

The Greater New York plums are cer- tainly worth fighting for. The money value of the prizes hung up for the politician foot up millions, and a single year's in- come from some of the leading offices, ju- diciously invested, would keep the wolf away from the door of an average family for a lifetime. A glance at a few of the most important offices will give a fair idea of the wealth and the patronage involved in the contest that is now raging in this populous region. The mayor will hold office for four years, and nearly all the others for terms as long or longer. While the im- mediate staff of the mayor will be small, and his imm diate office salary list perhaps not more than $43,800, he will command patronage much larger than many a reign- ing prince. The mayor's salary will be $15,000 per annum. Under the law the sal- ary of the controller is $10,000 a year. In addition to that amount there are fees from collateral inheritance tax in Greater New York, and from the Raines law collec- tions in Richmond county, that are esti- mated to be worth about $65,000 per annum, making the money value of the office about $75,000 annually. Almost as important as the money is the patronage of the office. The controller has a voice in designating the depositories of the public funds, and he has the absolute disposal of a large corps of assistants, whose salaries will range ‘rom $6,750 to $1,200, and which will brirg the salary fees and patronage of his office up to the enormous sum annually of $361,400. After the controllership the of of sheriff is the most important from pe- cuniary and patronage points of view. The salary is $20,000, and there are fees esti. mated by Sheriff Tamsen to be worth about $5,000 a year more. The fees and patron. age will foot up something like $150,000 an- is nual The pay of the county clerk $15,000. He will draw from the publ treasury at least $150,000 for the mainten- ance of himself and his office force. The district attorney's salary is § |, besides some handsome perquisites. His pay roll will hug the $143,000 mark. The salary of the register is $12.000 a year, and the sum paid by the city to matntain the office this yeer is $120,250. ‘The offices in the boroughs of Kings, Queens and Richmond are also Juicy. Although but a few of the most im. Portant offices are referred to here, the emoluments for a_ sing! T aggregate neanly $1,400,000. The great existing d partments, such as public works, publ parks, police, fire reet cleaning, law, health, taxes, chi correction, buildings and many others, are not included in this brief summary. It is no exaggeration to say that the manner of spending probably 340,000,000 a year for th oming four years will result from the votes to be cast on the 2d day of November next. No won Platt and Croker are on the an: xious seat. soe A Woman Who Axpires to Congress. From the New York Press, If the plans of Mrs. Marilla M. Ricker of New Hampshire, attorney and coun- selor-at-law, politician, commissioner aud examiner in chancery, result in su there is a surprise in store for the } tive body of the United States, and there will soon be such a word as congres: woman. Mrs. Ricker’s own words are: “I expect to represent the first congress district of w Hampshire in the ne in her home in Alton, N. bearing with great good humor the dis: pointment over the eppointment of Charles Burdett Hart of West Virginia as minister to the United States of Coiombia, a post for which she applied to the Pi nt. She is the first woman to muke ap tion for such a position. H., now, a Mrs. Ricker’s career has been remark- ably interesting, and it has full of incidents t show that she is full of philanthropic scheme s she ix full of interest in politics. Before her mar in 1863 to John Ricker she was a school teacher. She studied law in the office of Albert G. Riddle and Arthur B. Williams in Washington, D. C., and was ; to the Supreme Court of the District of Co- lumbia in 1882, standing at the head of her class, in which there we eighteen men. She was appointed United States commis- sioner and examiner in chancery in ISS5, and she was admitted to practice law in the District in 18/1. Her admission to the New Hampshire bar in 18% was consi lered a strong victory for the cause of woman's nights. Her political work includes a stumping tour through the west in ISss, irnumerable articles on political subjects a good work in organizing women’s po- litical clubs all over the country, ———_+-+_____ Friendship for Brutes. From the Brooklyn Eagle. When a big gray horse drawing the ten- der of one of our fire engines fell against a lamp post—cne of the disused and rusty things that ornament our thoroughtares-- he broke his back. Instead of shooting the poor creature at once, a fireman relieved him of his harness and sat on the pavement for an hour and a half holding his head on his knees and stroking and tatking to him. It was an exhibition of affection and senti- ment that is not often seen in a city, where horses are treated like the beasts of burden that they commonly are—beings who can do so. much work and are forced to do it. It was an exhibition that honored the fireman and all who showed their sympathy with his grief for the coming loss of his friend. If such a bond of good feeling existed be- tween our own and the supposedly inferier races we should live in a safer and better regulated world. Many of the brutes are at least as worthy of our affection as cer- tain of our kind. They do not make them- selves vexatious to the community by drunkenness, savagery, hoodlumism, theft cr murder, and we cannot truthfully say the same of all men. In many ways men do not live up to the moral possibilities of the dog—that is, some men. The recogni- tion of worth in our dumb friends is late, but desirable. Universities and Politics. Goldwin Smith in ‘The Independent. The universities of the United States are unquestionably doing the commonwealth ex- celient service, not only in the way of in- tellectual culture and the advancement of learning and science, but politically, by the propagation cf sound principles and of a scientific habit of mind. But the condition of their political usefulness is their politi- cal neutrality. The principles by which public questions are to be decided it is their high duty to impart. But if they desire to retain their authority they must keep out of the party fray. James I, though a weak, was a well- meaning king, and a sincere friend of learning. He conferred on the Universities ot Oxford and Cambridge what he believed to be the boon of representation in the house of commons. The consequence was that the universities were drawn into the struggle of factions, degraded by its vio- lence, identified with political reaction and estranged from the sympathies of the na- tion. I should be sorry to think that anything which I have now said could be construed as a defense of the habitual interference of trustees with the teaching or discipline of a university. In England the two great universities and their colleges are their own trustees; but the trustees of other col- leges or of schools interpose only in cases of extreme necessity; and this seems to me clearly the right principle. But it does not appear that the trustees of Brown are charged with habitual interference. They have interposed only on a special occasion, when it appeared to them that the vital in- terests of the university were at stake. —__ + e+ —___ Street Railways and Malls.
