And he brooded over the matter so much
that he grew pale and haggard, and his
mother got real worried about him. To tell
the truth madame herself was half sick about
it, and had begun to repent that she had
been so hasty.

A MENACE 70 PROPERTY.
The Standard Monopoly Pushing Work on
lis Nnphtha Tanks.

The people in the neighborhood of the
Standard oil monopoly's naphtha tanks at
the foot of East One Hundred and Fifteenth
street, are lowering between fear and indie
cision. Although the presence of such q
quantity of explosive oil has an alarming as
pect to them they yet await the report of the
Inspector before they will give their feelings
upon the subject.
Meanwhile the work of finishing the tanks
goes steadily On. Workmen are busily en-
gagged in cementing the roof of the tanks,
while the necessary appliances for filing
them rise above the brickwork.
There is no question but that if the monop-
olists are allowed to have their way property
in the neighborhood will decrease in value:
and a promising section of the city thus will
be DESTROYED.

King Phelps and his gang. As already an

sation with Phelpsi is true in every particular.
but that inasmuch as the statements are those
of a self-confessed lobbyist, they do not

The committee does not deny that the Leg

mends no further prosecution of the inquiry.
1t expresses regret that more latitude had not
been given to investigate more thoroughly
the operation of the gang, but presents the
excuse that under the emasculated resolu-

WILLN TO BE HANGED.
A wife slayer Pleads Guilty to Murder In
the First De gree.

In the Court of General Sessions to-day
Frederick Carolin, who hacked his wife
Bridget to death with with an axe April Is,
was called ON to plead to. an indictment Of
murder in the first degree found against him.
He walked to the bar with his eyes fixed in n
wild stare and his long hair lying in a dis
ordered mass about his head.
Tossing his head d~efiantly when arraigned,
he turned partially around, as if desiring to
be heard all over the courtroom, and said
Pm guilty."
This plea was one which would consign
Carolin to death, and a profound sensation
was caused.
Judge Cowing refused to accept it, ordered
a plea of not guilty and assigned Counsellor
Suydam to defend him.
1t is probable that an examination will be
made as to the mans sanity.

CHINAMEN IN WINTER,
How John Makes Himself Independent
of Floors and CARPETS.

How John Makes Himself Independent
of Floors and Carpets.
The methods which the Chinaman
adopts to defend himself against the
cold of winter are not without a certain
value as aids to the reading of his mind.
We put wooden floors in the rooms of
our houses for others to walk on as well
as ourselves, we even carpet them to
make walking on them more pleasant.
and in winter time we provide fire
which Is intended to warm the whole
room and all who are in it. A China
man renders himself Independent Of
floors and carpets; he puts two-inch
sole on his shoe, and thus makes sure
of having piece of floor under his own
feet. In winter time he piles garment
over garment upon his own back, slips
little fur-line cases over his ears, and
envelopes his head and neck in a
monstrous hood. If driven by the
cold to the use of fuel. he does not
light a fire for the sake of the fam
lily at large, but puts his red-hot char
coal balls into the metal vessels he uses
as footstoOl, and into the smaller one
which he carries in his capacious sleeves
for the warming of his hands. OF
course, the rest of the family can do
the same; and perhaps, on the whole,
the Chinese method is as effective
against the cold as the English, though
no one with our national restless activ-
ity could consent to be thus wrapped
up into helplessness even for the sake
of being kept warm. A Chinaman
naturally portly is a sight in the cold
season, while a little child clad in his
winter clothes becomes most comical
object. He can not get his arms down
to his side, they stick out horizontally,
and should he fall he is incapable of
getting up again as an overturned ttr-
tie or mislaid sheep. However, he is
Chinese, not English, so he wastes no
strength in vain struggles, he lies where
he falls, calmly and contentedly, with
his four limbs in mid-air, till some pas
serby thinks it worth while to pick him
and Taiis,' by Alfred
J. BamJord.

1.-THE Last Ditch"

Retreating from the outposts of old
time argument, based on the inherent
inferiority of women, our opponents
now entrench themselves in ''the knock
down argument" as 1 may justly call
it, viz: They that will not fight,
neither shall they vote" But if ever
there was last ditch, this is the one,
for when in all history did any contro-
versy divide any people along sex lines7
When Eve started a rebellion, Adam
Immediately joined it; when Ananias
falsified the returns, Sapphira followed
him; Deborah had her Baral, and St
Paul his Phebe; men and women have
''paired OFF, in every great movement
since the world began, and always will.
BY the laws of nature and of
God, there can never be a war between
the sexes, save now and then, in the re-
tirement of the family circle, q war OF
words. E. Hilldrd.
