"There is an evil under the sun. There
are several, but this one to which we allude
Is "a particularly 9ggrayating ,one, We mean
TIE custom which some young ladies, and
often those who are old enough to know
better, have of marching along the sidewalk
two or three abreast, and not giving way an
inch to modest and courteous men. They
will fix their eyes to the front when they dis
ccrn an unfortunate masculine approaching,
and sail majestically and unswervingly along
in OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. or utter disregard
of the fact that he has any rightto the side
walk which. a womansis bound to respect In
such Weather as we have nostiybeeii afflicted
with this Winter, this uncomfortable habit to
which some ladies are addicted is no joke
We have seen many miserable fellow obliged
to step with nicely polished boots into sea
minxes could not suspend their gabble long
enough to pass narrow crossing in single
file. 1t is generally supposed that ladies
cultivate the grace. Of politeness more
thoroughly than gentlemen, but they certainly
donot confirm the supposition in their street
behavior 1t is very seldom that two gentle
men passing along the street together do not
instantly fall into single file on meeting either
a agentleman orlady, whenever it is necessary
to do so.i We advise the ladies to take this
matter into their serious consideration and
see if they tlo not find that there is room for

How Reform Works in the Purchases Of

LOUIS STERNBACH'S PROFITS.
Light from the Grand Jury Room on
the Price of Cloth.
WILL MIR. GREEN EXPLAIN +?
A Clerk Who Looks Too Closely
Into City Accounts.

In spite OF onicial wriggttng the HERALD has
been able TO let In some light on the sham economy
OF reform az practised at the expense OF taxpayers
An the Commission OF Public Charities and Correc-
sion. A feeble and sleepy farce OF investigation,
which dragged YEARLY through week and then
went to roost in the pigeon holes OF the Mayors
ONCE, allowed many damaging facts to come
TO public notice through the columns or the
HERALD. Now it becomes possible TO throw a full
hood OF light into the dark recesses OF the snng
Office In Eleventh street, where the peoples
money is squandered by means OF purchases
OF necessary articles for the use Of the
public institutions OF the city at prices con-
siderably advanced, 1t is alleged by relatives
or family connections OF some members OF the
Board This time the Grand Jury room is the lens
through which this glance OF public scrutiny Is
cast INTO this system OF fraud and official robbery.
The statements given below are the sworn evi-
dence OF witnesses examined by the Grand In
quest They show how the purchasing OF dry
goods was managed to the advantage OF Louis
Sternbach, who Is said TO be a connection OF Com
missioner Stern. Taxpayers will read these reve-
lations with interest. Perhaps they may also in
quire who profit by the other branches Of the vast
purchases which are requisite for the institutions
under the charge OF the Board.
