Promise follows with significant celerity upon § Bvening World's snapshot exposure of disgraceful conditions. The publicity given by the camera © What Commissioner Willcox calls the “slovenly 4 " responsible for these “shameful conditions," brings quick but all too long delayed relief. jh “It appears to have been the theory of the contrac- ‘tors'that the city streets along the line of the subway ‘Deoame theirs by right of possession for any uses they See fit. On this theory they proceeded with their work in entire disregard of public convenience and fort and in defiance of all protest. \ They piled the pavements high with structural steel, livered two years before it was needed.

EW know that there is an Indian, an American Indian, colony in New York City. The colony is not a very large one, but t is tulle dlooded Indian in its entirety. The Indian colony is in a tem ement-house in West Broadway, near Grand street. The head of the tribe is Hagle Feather. a young and good- looking Ute. His wife's name is Shining Water. But they do not use their Indian names In their everyday affairs. They go then by the names of Thomas and Emma, Clark. Their aunt, Running Doe, lives in the same tenement, with her son, Standing Bear. For every day they call themselves Mrs, Mary and Frank Wilson. There are four other Indian men and two other Indian women and about six Indian children in the colo were stranded here some ten years ago by a “busted Medicine” show. Since then Eagle Feather and his wife have maintained themselves as artists’ models, and occasionally in Indian vik lage exhibitions in dime museums and country fairs. When they show the:nselyes so they dress in their native costumes, and the whole lot of them appear, with Eagle Feather as thelr chiet and manager. When not so engaged Mrs. Wilson and the rest, even the ex-warriors, employ themselves making beaded pincushions of gaudy red and blue flannel. These aro sold to Jewish ped= diers, who retail them on the east side. SOME THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW.

The Squire was glad of the lodge meeting, for it would keep him fi home till long after Madge's bedtime, 80 he would not have to reproach him- self on seeing her patient face, For the same reason he hurried to the store next morning before Madge’e time for arising.

It has re » cently been rebuilt and rebollered at the Pitmaston and Moor Green Rallway Works, The rolling stock numbers about twenty carriages and trucks, and there {s also a covered-in carriage which holds two people. The latter, however, is not often used, as it develops an unfortunate propensity to fall over tf the wind happens to be at all violent. The following {s an extract from @ report of the direo tors: ‘We regret to have to report several accidents on the Une during the past year. In May a black and tan terrier found its way unofficially upon the treck, and, by getting st- sett run over by an engine, running light, and tender, nearly caused a sertous calamity, In September, during a garden fete, while shunting, the guard's van fouled the points owing to the guard not eitting squarely on his van. The breakdown gang, on coming to the scene of the accident, found eight Passengers on one side of the train and elght top hats on the other. Fortunately the accident was not accompanied by much damage, and the company—beyond ‘having to brush eight dusty persons and smooth eight top hats—has not been called upon to pay compensation. A DARING GIRL, Mims Daisy Middleton, a pretty Minneapolis girl, recently had a very thrilling experience in the forests of Northers: Minnesota, having undertaken @ tramp through the enow- clad wilds for 100 miles north of a radlway. cloak and cap, came again to the store, and though she made a quick purchase and went as quickly, the Squire saw with delight that Jack Worthson had ace companted her to the door and was awaiting her exit. “It she wants him he's a goner!"’ said the Squire to himself as the couple dis- Appeared. “A gtone statue would do anything that that woman wanted of him." He saw them together several times afterward, and each time his heart warm) One night, when the store re- mained open late, because the Squire was to attend aj lodge meeting in the room over the store, Jack Worthson suddenly appeared through the little dark room whick was the rear entrance of the store and startied the proprietor by beckoning to him. The Squire ap- proached and Jack eaid: “I understand you want to get me out of thts town, Mr. Burch. Well, now’ your chance." As he spoke he waved his hand toward eomething which, de- splte the faint beams of Mght from the store, the Squire recognised as Miss Lou in her fura, ‘You've married lots of couples; no Heense is neeled in this an unsual combination in this world—more's the pity.
