Women Crossing the Street.

How women cross the street has been
made subject of observation and study
by DR.. E. M. Hale, of Chicago. he says
ga lady starts to cross the street; when
she gets one-thrd or halfway over she sees q
team approaching; the driver, in nearly every
instance, watches her movements, and seeks to
drive in behind her. If she keeps on her wsy,
all is WELL If she only stands still, she is per-
fectly safe. But here comes In the strange and
fatal idiosyncrasy of her sex. just as the
driver thinks he can safely drive behind her,
she stops, starts back few steps, and, unless
tbs driver Is prompt and draws his horse back
on his launches. the woman is under his feet
or knocked down. Then comes the hue and
cry that the driver is to blame. How can he
help it? All teams cannot be driven on q walk
and do the business Of a great city. I have
asked many OF the policemen who guard the
crossings at the Intersections of Randolph and
Clarke, State and Madison, and other places.
and they all testify to this universal habit m
ladies. They all do it, said one of them to
ne, and have all L can do to keep them from
backing under the horses feet If your re-
porter Will question a Thousand men who drive
actively through our streets, they will all con.
hrm my assertions. l write this In all Kind
ness and sympathy, and would seriously call
the attention Of the women of Chicago to the
great risks they run by blind and thouphtless
adnerence to this instructive habit"

Taxation Of Mortgages.

There is only oue practicable way to settle
the taxation of mortgages, and that is to Gre
form it altogether" Property should be taxed
where it is found aud to him in whose possess
sion it is found. In nine cases out of ten the
holder of the mortgage pays no taxes on it now,
but the theory is that tax is paid, and the
rate of interest makes allo waacs for it. Mort
cages are held by savings banks and other
institutions, which are taxed on their capital
or deposits. They are also held by individuals
whose personal tax is made up generally
without items. 1t is not probable that the
exemption of mortgages from taxation would
reduce the taxable properly of the state ten per
cent, perhaps not five per cent. Mean
while this exemption would Have a tendency
to encourage peoole TO own their owa homes.
Theoretically, under the present tax laws,
mortgsged house pays two taxes, and a house
free from lDcombsrance oaly one. If any body
Gao see any sense in that arrangement 1t IS
wonderful. 1t is still worse when a ci izen has
paid tax on his persooal iucome for the pre-
vlous year. the surplus of which he Invests in q

The Duke Of Green. Erin and His Amer.
lean Friends

The duke Of Green-Erin is what they call in
England a great swell. and some five years ago
he came to America He spent most of his
time in New York. and in New York he spent
his days and his nights at the Butter worths'.
You have heard, at least Of the Butterworths
Bien. They did everything in the world for
him-they turned themselves inside out. They
gave him dozen dinner parties aDd balls, and
were the means of his being invited to fifty
more. At first he used to come into Mr.. But
terworth's box at the opera in Tweed travel
ing suit; bat some one stopped that. At any
rate, he had beautiful time, and they parted
the best friends in the world. Two years
elapse; the Butterworths come abroad and 90
to London. The first thing they see in all the
pspers-in England those things are in the
most prominent place-is that the duke of
Green-Etin has arrived in town for the season.
They wait little, and then Mr. Bu:terwortb.
as polite as ever, goes and leaves a card They
wait little more; the visit is not returned;
they wait three weeks-silence de mort, the
duke gives no sign. The Butterworths see
lot of other people, put down the duke of Erin
as rude, ungratefal man, and forget all about
MIN. One tine day they 60 to Ascot races, and
there they meet him facs to face. He stares
moment. and then comes up to Mr. Butter
worth, taking something from his pocket-book
something which proves to be a bank-nvte.
II m glad to see you, Mr.. Butterworth," he
says, so that can pay you 910 lost to you
IN New York. L saw the other day you re-
membered our bet; here are the $40, Mr. But
terworth. Good-by, Mr.. Butterworth!'' and off
he koes, and that's the last they zee of the duke
of Green-Erin. Henry james, Jr., "Au Inter-

THE REV. ROBERT CoLYER, of Chicapo
preached sermon last week Sunday from
the text, "Pay thy Debts" In closing it he
said he would be glad to think that some
day in the future some of his hearers who
might now be in danger from the evil of
which he had spoken would sit down in their
own homes and say: swell, my old minister
preached sermon about debts. 1t didn't
seem to have any more religion in it than the
Book of Esther, but it got into my heart, and
what he said has stayed with me from that
day to this and it did me great deal more
good than if he had preached what great
many of them seem to call religion"

Mr.. SMALLEY, writing to the New York
Tribune from New Orleans concerning the
Tensas outrages and the developments before
the Teller Committee, shows that, instead of
being, as was claimed at the time, entirely
nOn-political in its character, the mysterious
occurrence in the Tensas parish was purely
political in its origin, and had its rise not
alone in the jealousy Of white Democrats on
account of colored Republicans, but of their
white brethren as well, an Independent Dem
ocratic ticket having at that time been thrust
into the campaign, which exasperated the
"straights" to the last degree, although every
candidate named, with one exception, was a
reputable and influential white citizen of
Democratic professions. Evidence already
taken by the committee, writes this corre-
spondent, has shown that there existed a
scheme on the part of the Democrats for
bulldozing the northern parishes of the State,
and the details given amply bear out the con-
clusion that the massacre was extensive and
entirely in the supposed interests of local
politicians, and as a matter of intimidation
to opposition.

THE Hartford Courant calls attention in
the following words to menacing danger;
There was time, some fourteen years ago,
when the federal authority was universally
recognized as superior to the state, and when
those who had rebelled against such authori-
ty were ready to admit its power. When
the generous terms of amnesty were then
conceded to the rebels, it did not seen prob
able that during the lives of the actors in
that terrible tragedy Of civil war the same
question of the superiority OF state to nation
al authority could again be raised. But this
is the fact in at least three of the Southern
States, South Carolina, Alabama and Vir-
ginia. With Democratic Congress ready to
back the claims made by the advocates of the
extreme States rights doctrine, the question
becomes one of great Importance.
