Col, Aiken, one of the South Caro-

views on this question to represent

"The tax on Tobacco should be
abolished. Since its adoption have

considering how they could surpass
each other IN the richness and elabor-
alton of their houses and raiment. In
the progress of this pleasing rivalry
Mrs. A. gave grand reception, at
which she appeared in a new gown of
very fine and wonderful texture,
which quite surpassed anything that
had ever been made into dress for a
Chicago lady in the whole history of
that remarkable town. Every body
saw the incompatible dress and mar
veled greatly thereat-that is every
boey except the one unconquerable
rival, Mrs B., who gave a re reception
at her own house fortnig ut later, to
which the same people were invited
who bad attended the reception at
Mrs. AS. The establishment of the
latter may be imagined when, on en-
tering Mrs. BIS drawing room, she be-
held all the upholstered furniture in
the room covered with precisely the
same material as that of the dress
with which she had startled her
friends two weeks before. In the
language of the street Mrs. B. "got
away with her" that time at least.

The Same Sad Story.
New York Sun.

The New York police justices intro
duce their annual report with these
remarks:
''It differs little from proceeding re-
ports and contains no feature of nov
city or of unusual interest. Unfor-
tunately it is a mere continuation OF
the history of crime and its progress
in the community, unrelieved by any
sign of improvement so far as indi-
Gated by the numbers, Or by the gray
lty of the reported offenses. It is the
same sad story, again repeated, of
misery and suffering which ever at
tends crime, and emphasized by the
aggregation of figures suggestive OF
its extent. The conditions governing
the commission and punishment of
crime remain unchanged. While the
passions exercise a controlling infu-
ence upon human actions, and temp
tations can swerve the weak, crime
will be possible, and will be in some
measure proportional to the oppor-
tunities for its commission"
During the year the number of ar.
rests amounted to 1902, of which
number 81, $50 represented males and
30, 6O2 females. The per centage OF
females is about ~, which is the usual
proportion.
