Indiscreet Mr.. Coon.

Assistant Secretary Coon is no longer
connected with the Treasury Depart
ment. He WAS a good man but indis-
Greet, and Secretary Manning isn't a
great admirer of indiscreet men. Mr.
Coon was permitted to retain his position
under MIR. CleYeland's administration be-
cause he was thoroughly familiar with its
duties, and in other respects was we'll
qualified for the place.
Secretary Manning had no objection to
his politics. All he asked of him
was not to parade up and down
the corridors OF the Treasury build
ing proclaiming the fact that he was a
Republican, and not to pose in the news
papers as a Republican holding an i'm
portant Office under a Democratic admin
istration. One OF the purposes OF civil
service reform Is to weed out OF the civil
service, and to keep out Of it, extreme
partisans.
Mr.. Coon couldn't keep quiet. He
seemed to be afraid that his old Republi-
can friends would think that be had been
silenced by an Office if he didn't seize
upon every opportunity to appear to be q
rank partisan. When it was announced
that Ohio had elected the Republican
ticket, Mr.. Coon couldn't contain himself
any longer. He got himself into the news.
papers in way that ought to have made
him supremely happy, and doubtless he
was happy for little while. He talked
loud and bold about his JOY at the Repub-
lican success.
The Secretary evidently thought that il
was time for him to go, and he went in a
very few days. The way Mr.. Coon came
down from his lofty perch in the civil
service must have caused much satisfac-
ton to many Democrats, who have grown
weary waiting for an Office. II
is sad 90 think, however, that
the satisfaction Of so many Of them will
be shorblived. Only one OF them can be
accommodated in the Coon vacancy.

men has been so kindly acknowledged by
the people that Fifth avenue Is about to

formed, and It is the impression that the
rails will go down at an early day. The
property owners are opposed TO the road,
but the public demands II, and the title et
the former TO the avenue is denied. Those
who oppose the road say they can by APP

The MOther-in-Law

II is not likely that the French mother
iu-law is very different in character from
the mOther-in-law of any other civilized
country. and 1t is to be hoped that tn
prejudice said to exist in France against
that much abused relative has been over
estimated. No doubt in France, as every
where else, the average mOther-in-iaw is
very much superior to the average
sOn-in-law, and if the French, as indi-
Gated by the recently published account
Of the Ribout murder trial, entertain
great prejudice against mOthers-in-law, il
is because the undutiful sons-in-law are
more numerous in France than in other
countries, and because the frivolous
French papers, like their counterparts on
this side the water, have largely con-
tributed to that state of feeling by pub
lisning all sorts OF odd squibs about
mothers-In-law which were not tempered
with good bumor, but were the offspring
of pure pePversity.
The typical American mother-in-law is
the ideal mother-in-law. She is affection
ate, kind, and reasonably induIgent to
her sOn-in-law, as she is devoted to his
children, helping TO rear and train them
in the way they should go, and in sickness
being at once very often physician, nurse,
and ministering angel. There are few
deserving sons-in-law in this country
who have not angelic mothers-in-law, and
to the credit of most Americans be it said
that the mother-In-law is generally the
recipient of filial affection only second
to that rendered to ones own mother
Every man, almost, looks upon his mother
as being worthy Of the highest seat in
heaven, and blessed indeed Is he (and
there are many such mem who can in his
heart feel that his mother-in-law is enti-
tied to a seat by her side.
"Worthy and dutiful sons-in-laws make
loving and sweet-tempered mothers-in-
law" This rule holds good in nine cases
out OF ten, and certainly that fact makes
it pretty good one. 1t would be well
for every young man, who Is about to
take upon himself the important and
happy relation OF son-in-law. to write the
above rule on the tablet of his memory,
aud redouble the joys and Tighten the
SORROWS Of life by so conducting himself
as TO be at once and for all time deserving
of the love and confidence OF the mother
of the wife Of his bosom.

| st. Louis Republican.
When asked by reporter yesterday
whether he had any funerals on hand
an Owe street undo rtaker answered in
| the negative, adding that he expected to
have some very good ones very soon.
what makes you so confident" que
| ried the reporter.
"Why, the rich men die in winter and
poor men in summer As winter is com
ing on it follows naturally that we will
have the remains of people belonging to
rich families to bury. When | say that
the rich die in winter and the poor in
summer, am prepared to give reasons
for that assertion. In the summer time
rich men as a rule take it easy They
keep III the shade and spend their time
at summer resorts, where they get plen-
ty of fresh air. Poor people, on the 9TH
er hand, remain at home. They work
in the sun, live in easements and hot
rooms, and enervate themselves until
they take sick and die 1t is n we'll
known fact that poor people as rule
have more children than rich people
and it is also a we'll known fact that the
mortality among children is greater dur
ing the summer months than at any
other season of the year Men who
wOrl. on high walls, as brick masons.
men who clean the streets. and team
sters, as well as others who are exposed
to the hot rays of midsummer sun, are
poor men, as rule, who are compelled
to work the year round for their daily
bread. Rich men die in winter because
they are subject to dangers they take no
precaution to avoid. Poor men suffer
from exposure, yet their very hardships
fit them for the sudden changes of the
weather, which are almost constantly
occurring. Rich people, wearing furs
and heavy OvercOats, crowd into over
heated and badly ventilated theatres.
When they come out they catch their
death of cold. Rich people indulge in
greater excuses in winter than in sum-
mel. They attend more balls and wine
parties and lose more sleep in cold than
in warm weather. There are many 9th
er reasons for the fact stated to you, but
1t Is hardly worth while to enumerate
them here. Suffice it to say that the I'M
dertakers have nearly all of their best
paying funerals during the winter
months"
