An application for license to act as scavengers
was received from the President OF the Manhattan
Odorless Excavating Company, which was referred
to the Committee on Laws and Ordinances. This
paper caused considerable discussion In the Board
some one or two OF the members evidently being
inclined towards the hand bucket system Of empty

stephen Smith and the other sanitarians in the
Board have pronounced in favor or the alright
method of removing the filth from houses. An
ordinance was lately passed by the Board regulat-
ing the manner In which this work should be
done In the future, and 1t is rather late
IN the day now to endeavor to throw
because one or two members of the Board are not
entirely satisfied upon the subject AS the case
now stands, no one is licensed to perform this very
necessary work In the city, and the Board of Health
stands very much in the position of body that
was determined to stultify its own acts. What the
Committee on Laws and Ordinances will ultimately
do with the application for license 1t Is, OF course,
impossible to say at present, but 1t is to be hoped
they will remember the necessities Of large num-

BREACH OF PROMISE CASES. The multiDli
city of breach of promise suits during the last
few years is fast establishing host Of prece-
dents which will serve to regulate hereafter the
always granted damages. 1t is curious to note
these attempts to reduce emotion to cash
valuation 1t is the general practice for maids
and widows, all forlorn to file the love letters Of
the per6dious man, in order that the jury may
gather from their inanity the depth Of his affec-
ton, but it has been reserved for deicately
organized sensitive Indiana maiden to file her
own letters as we'll, so that the jury could see
the intensity of her love, and transmute each
heart throb and soul-thrill into the more prac-
tical form of dollars and cents. 1t is at best a
queer love that seeks to soothe its wounds by
pIasterng them over with greenbacks, and it is
difficult to see how any amount of money can
recompense true woman for the inevitable
publicity and scandal that plaintiff in such a
suit must endure
