McCall, the in the} Board of Aldermen, takes high ground in his treatment of the charge that his assoctates have been “grafting” in the matter of the Westchester franchis to me,” he exclaims, in a voice suffused with honest in- dignation, “that the reputation of the Aldermen of this city is sucn that they should not be vaguely and gen- erally charged with corruption.” That is the right way to deal with such an Imputa- tion. If Presiden: Rooseveit, or Bishop Potter, or Ad-| { ™miral Dewey were accused of grafting would he stoop| ¢ to furnish a dill of particulars in rebuttal? Of coursa aot. He would say: “My character speaks for ftaelf."’ Why should not the New York Aldermen do the same? Does not their character speak for itself? Has not the reputation of an Alderman been a thing with a definite! quality of its own since long before the time of Jacob! Sharp? , ‘When the Tammany Aldermen stand on thelr yeputa- tion there is nothing more to be sald. It would be nn- & ignified for them to explain why they held up a fran- 5 ehise that the people wanted for eight months and then 2 through one that the people did not want in aj § vee! Besides, perhaps they conldn't, ‘Tammany leader “It seems BETTER KEEP THEM AT HOME.

While there is general faith in the allegation that wl the world loves a lover much depends upon the ex- tent to which this individual makes an ass of himself. r Yor instance, there might be cited the case of Julius Schultz, of this city. Julius had reached the age of twenty-five before the barbed dart of Cupid penctrated Bis skin and could not be withdrawn. The object of his affection was a woman of just twice his years, but feveral times his discretion. She shook her gray head fn a decided negative and showed Julius the door, He id not have the gumption to accept mis nint at its tn ° value, and on later occasions the police nad to show aim the door. There was one recourse left, sutius! : sould die, and he did. He sent a bullet through his! = heart, his tenderest spot. Some instinct must navel? suggested to hin the inutility of att mpting to send anything through his brains. Now, the’ world declines to love a lover of this type, although it does place him one grade above the fre- guent fellow who is not satistied merely with killing Umself, but insists upon immolating the lady first. i York.—District-Att y the soft- a Clean New particularly trapre: Visit to Chicago, t he ha returned to a elean city, no doubt we can count upon his most vigoroz efforts to keep it clean by enforcing the ordinance bitin, | smoke-ptoducers here, ia we Caba's Credit.—The Cuban lo; 3,000,000 has heen taken | at %.

Putting aside households where the battle of life is hard households where work 1s heavy and lelsute ssfrequent, and taking note mainly of that large contingent of maid servant: who live in good houses and proft by the indulgent consider- ation now prevailing, what ingratitude there is, what stu- pidtty, and what silly misuse of happy circumstances, in the false view characterizing the example quote’ atiove!

They go from wha! Ia often n pinched and noisy or quarrelscme home Into some family where they will day by day, whatever other drawbacks there may be, live amid good manners, measured speech and ideas of refinement, progress and the march of events, eaya Sir Falwin Arnold in the Chicago ‘Tribune. For my own part, I belleve that good employers will al- most everywhere draw good servants to them: yet it does seem as if the grand old ideas upon the subject which anl- mated bygone servants of all descriptions are on the wane in the present welter of politics and principles, That would be the worst thing possible for our social progress, and, above all, for those classes which at present derive a stupendous advantage from the domestic intermingling of rank with rank. Sorrowful will be the time when this natural and happy social system comes to an end; but it’ will come, if right- hearted women do not everywhere repudiate the ridiculous servant who fears to call herself a “servant.” ‘A right-minded man or woman will make kings and queen: for themselves out of their own consciences, and turn tht lowllest. chamber wherein they worl to a palace, becays royal work {8 being done wherever, serving man, we serw also God and our t’mes, Bad Wages in Russia: Wages In Russian factories are 2 cents an hour and up ward, There are thousands who work for a cent an hou and tens of thousands who do not receive 90 cents a de Mazurka Joan's eves to, bogged Joan Deercombe to look ov 1s she Happiness, at length conrented, and thee | trip was plann Lord Stuart Villars that the new helr- | Ue Arrowfield Stuart knew on); rt, sorely against his will, com- Ww Permission of George Munro's Sons) beautiful spring morning, was ushered | by George Munro's 8078) | into a little walled garden Ww | of him + CHAPTERS. was told, Miss T yn would ¢ and wediling to btaina an interview pe left me—that L And he looked 4 with ar the eventn owas ne Royce’ real possession of the wil | Which sie turns over to in him that v he turned and Was about to enter the house w | CHAPEL ure came from Uh other, A Strange Meeting. carder MAZURKA and Lord Bertle howltching form, y had a plot whoag evolt- of soiitude and lone vost them many a secret con- liness it aDpRALY (OL hia OF ths mind, Wrought ser alm awful mann Ho stops r of the to pass, f en ina strange ar was } back inte thé shadow of oa, waited for t house the er was anxious ( her head sul turned Joun, though shs had litte | ; from him, and aw she came and her | to revisit the scene of her brief tly an an form became more clearly outlined | 1) 7h I ed wall, something, h from the Invisi- | ble world, seemed to touch his heart | It was the form of Joan!
