WHEN THE RECORD of crime and dtsas-
ters is made up for the year now fast
waning the showing will be an awful one,
at least 20 far as the United States 10 con-
cerned. Murder, suicide, fire, collision, ac-
cident, all add to the direful list. But the
most noticeable fact in this connection is
the terrible report for the present week,
beginning with last Saturday night, since
which time crime has indeed run rampant.
From all points - North, East, South,
West--the telegraphs come laden with
almost every imaginable crime, muir
der and riot predomlnating 1t
indeed is time to stop and consider
upon the ''elevating influences of civiliza-
tion and education" when Christmas, from
a season of holy memories and ennobling
associations, has become a day OF de-
bauchery and lawTessness. Even those
never known as temperance folks" cannot
fail 10 pause and reflect as the work OF rum
crazed brains is accumulating in opposition
to the labors of the finer instincts supposed
TO exist and predominant in this the frat
country of the world. There Is surely a
cause for the increasing deceneracy Of the
population, and means Of checking 1t de-
mands the attention of all the better Gle
ment of the people.

In furs it works thus. We
are out of fur-lined circulars
at $40, for example, and have
plenty at $50. We must have
some at $40. We must make,
buy or put some OF the $50
ones down. We do the latter;
for it is better to sell at cost
than to keep over. We give
you the benefit Of the doubt.
This is only an illustration of a
general fact.
You will be seeing shortly
in big letters shaking with
terror, in the papers, fearful
plunges in furs" and all that
sort of thing; from which YOU
will understand that something
has happened. No, it hasn't.

Tho Market Ordinance.

The new market ordinance received 5
favorable report from the Committee on
Public Buildings last evening and the re-
port was adopted by Council without any
attempt at opposition.
This action, of course, does not positively
assure the subsequent passage of the ordi-
nance, and the location OF the public mar
kets on French and Madison streets, but II
shows that there is disposition among
several members of Council to enforce the
proposed change from King street to
French. II therefore behooves the friends
OF the King street market to be active In
their opposition, else the move will be made
while they are making up their minds what
to do.
We have steadfastly opposed the moving
Of the market to French street, and thus fai
have failed to see q single valid reason
offered in support of such change. But
despite this lack OF reason or argument the
movement is evidently gaining strength IN
the City Council, and may become law !
urgent measures are not taken TO preven'
such an undesirable consummation.

An English Girl Of the Period.
London Letter to San Francisco Argonau

will picture to yon IN English girl liv-
ing in one of the southern countries of
England. She is ono OF the prettiest girls
in England, has $4,000 year in her own
right, is just twenty three, land the daughtir
of a race whose pedigree goes back to the
Conquest, and whose country house is the
show piece of the country. To look at her
you would think her the quietest of the
quiet, and that she hadn't an idea beyond
CROCHET and weak tea. But she hunts, has
has her stable, keeps four hunters, and now
and then rides steeplechase, buys and
sells her own horses without help from
any one; her own merchant, wine cellar
and tObacconist; fences, boxes, skates and
rows; has her boudoir decorated with. foils,
gloves, whips, horseshoes and hunting
trophies; smokes cigarettes during the day
and cigars after dinner; is capital Judge
of clarst and port. and can toll Amontillado
from Marsha with her eyes shut; is a first
rate shot with shotgun or rock rifle; draws
her own charges and pays her own bills.
She has never been to firt; has re-
fused moro offers than the quiet ever
dreamed of receiving, and once, it is relat-
ed, taught the prince of Wales lesson by
stopping in tho middle of valse with him
at . state ball at Buckingham palace, and
refusing to 60 on because he held her
tighter than she considered proper. You
can't call a girl like that fast. But she
knows enough to take care of herself, and
if her companionship with the young
swells of the day, and her imitation of their
ways has taught her to prefer their friend
ship to their love, it is not unlikely she is
nearer right in her estimate of her follow
beings than are the dragonesses of pro-
priety who regard her with abhorance, but
are willing to sell their bashful maidens to
the first scapegrace whose establishment
and rent-roll make him desirable parti.

New York Tribune.
Hero is an old anecdote, very familiar
many years ago, and old enough to be new
to many of this generation, which was re-
gular Thanksgiving night standby. No
gathering about the fire ever separated
without it being told. 1t ran somthing in
this way: new railway had been opened
through bleak and unsettled section of
country, and had been in operation only a
short time when heavy snow began fall
ing and soon completely blockaded the
road, stopping the train with its single
passenger car far from any place of nabi-
tation. There were a dozen or more travel
ers. but as the prospect OF relief within a
few hours was good they were taking the
unpleasant situation calmly. Among them
was a tall, lank, lay preacher, whose coun-
tenance was chiefly remarkable for prefer
naturally large mouth. Soon after the
train came to g standstill he arose at the
forward end of the car, and with his bland
est professional smile began: Now breth-
rem and sisters, we've got to stay, here shut
up together for an hour or two so let Us
make the best of it. say brethren and
sisters-ain't that so: We'ereall Christians,
amt we? Of course we ere. Now let US
have little experience meeting here.
Why not! We all love the Lord, don't we!
Of course we do. Well, les talk about Him a
little. To begin with, we all believe there's
nothing the Lord couldn't do if he wanted
to-we all believe that don't we?" At this
point green-looking countryman, who
had been watching the smiling speaker
with close interest, startled him by saying:
''Waal, now, dunno bout that. think I
know one thing the Lord coulden't do.''
''Oh! do your" exclaimed the preacher
with great delight "Qo you indeed! Yell,
let us hear it. Speak up loud and let us all
her what it is the Lord coulden't do"
''Waal," said the countryman with great
deliberation, she couldn't ha' made your
mouth amy bigger onless he'd ha' sot your
ears back" That ended the conference
