A word 1R Reply
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Will you permit me few words in rela- tion to the communication from J. P. Phillips in this mornings issue-the only ones which shall have to say on the vexed, and, be- lieve unwarrantable. accusations against the sanitary officers and department? by no means wish to impugn the motives of F. L. D-from conversation with the gentleman believe him to be sincere in his opposition to the health department, mistaken as think his views are. I do not wish to express the opinion, however, as indeed the whole tenor of his criticisms indicates, that he has been largely influenced by what he believes to be arbitrary interference on the part of the board or rather it's "salaried officers" with sanitary matters under his immediate con- troll The ground that he apparently takes, viz: That every physician and householder should be the sole judges of what is sanitary, I think shows this. IF. L. D." is not the only one in this city who holds such views and who resents all interferences; on the other hand, there are many householders and landlords who cheerfully and gladly comply with suggestions from the board. And while I can cheerfully admit 'F. L. D. B" mistaken sincerity, only beg that he will be as just and not attribute purely mereenary motives for the f'zeal" of the sanitary officers, whose positions are very dissgreeable at their best. f'F L. D." also seems to forget that the board, of which he was once himself mem bar, is composed of men of intelligence and common sense, every one of whom holds honored and respected positions in the com munity. s.

several small New Jersey towns. The idea is to take the head waters of the Passsic and its tributaries, pump into reservoirs in the Or ange mountains and distribute from there to the various cities and towns, carrying under the Hudson by tunnel. The water shed of the Passaic is nearly three times the size of the Croton, and the distance from the city is much less. The reservoir sites are 300 feet above tide water, which Is considerably high CT than the Central Park reservoir. The syn dicate claims capacity of 500, ,0o0, 900 gal- Ions daily for the Passaic water shed and great superiority for the water. It has se- cured also nearly or quite all the riparian and water rights on the river through an ancient corporation in which they were vested nearly 100 years ago.
 The Memphis Avalanche gives this inter- esting information about ..'tacky:" The word '.tacky" is souther colloquial1sm. It was coined by the wealthier or more refined and educated class for general application to those who were not sheltered by the branches of a family tree, who were f'tainted." Those who were wealthy and yet had no great-grand- fathers were stackies." The word was used both in contempt and in derision. It is now nearly obsolete in both senses. There are no aristoorats in the South now, and therefore no s'tackies." No man who has the instincts of gentleman is spoken of as ''tacky," whether he can remember the name of his grandfathers uncle or not. But it has its uses. It is employed in describing persons of low ideas and vulgar manners whether rich or poor. It may mean an absence of style In dress anything that is tawdry is 'taoky." A ribbon on the shopkeeper's counter, cur- tain in the bolt, shawl or bonnet, bolt of cloth fresh from the loom may be a ''tacky," because it is cheap and yet pretentious. In Louisiana the inferior grade of creole ponies are known as "tackies."

M1ss Adele Gran1,s secIaI Tr1umphs


 Chicago Tribune's Washington LeLterl
 The announcement that Miss Adele Grant
 will leave Washington for New York on the
 20th inst. and soon thereafter sail for Flu
 rope, revives the story current during the
 summer that she will join Mrs. John Davis
 of this city immediately upon her arrival in
 Paris and spend 8 year with her abroad.
 The arrangement between these two hand-
 some women, according to report, is that
 Miss Grant is to stay with Mrs. Davis as her
 companion. Miss Grant is to introduce her into the inner1nost exclusive circles of the French and British capitals, to which as a beauty and an heiress she had access several years since during her triumphal tour abroad. This report has occasioned consid- erable comment in society. Miss Adele Grant, though undeniably handsome girl of fine presence, can hardly be said to have proved the social success in Washington which WAS anticipated. Heralded as great beauty, upon whom the royal seal of ap- ] proval had been set by the Prince of Wales, she was furthermore rendered famous by the fact that she was accredited with having of her own free will and accord broken an en- gagsnent and given the mitten to & real, live nobleman-no less person than the Earl of Cairns-better known as Lord Garmoyle. At first curiosity ran high to catch glimpse of the young lady, but society having satis- fed itself on this score. came to the conclu4 sion that in their midst were girls quite as l much if not better entitled to the distinction of beauties, and accordingly the enthusiasm waned. Miss Grant herself seems te make little if any effort to win the good opinion ot that society which at first stood ready to welcome her with open arms. Whether or not there may have been considerable pique in the origin of the epithet bestowed by her upon the resident society as distinguished | from official circles is an open question. In 1 speaking of the conservative old families she l invariably dubbed them "the natives, l throwing into her tone the slightest possible tinge of contemptsous sarcasm.

THE WILLIAMSON SCHOOL.

The school which rich old Mir. Williamson is founding in Philadelphia is to be called the Williamson Free School of Mechanical Trades. Mr. Williamson has become con- vinced that the schools we have now often by giving them false notion that to work with their hands is not respectable. 'For this reason" 7" he says, professional and mer- camille pursuits are overcrowded with incom- potent candidates who meet with failure and thus many who, if they had been differ ently trained in early life, could have sup ported themselves at some trade in comfort and decency are condemned to idleness and often to dissipation, beggary and crime."
 In this free school certain number of healthy, able-bodied boys between the ages of 12 and IS are to be educated in conformity with MT. Willismsons ideas. All of them on their admission are to be bound as inden- tured apprentices to the trustees for at least three years. During the whole time of their stay in the school they are to be "fed with good, wholesome food, plainly, neatly and comfortably clad, and descently and ftly housed and lodged" They are to be thoroughly instructed and grounded In the rudiments of good common school educa- tion, if that has not already been attended to, and are also to be taught so much of the natural sciences and lower mathematics as the trustees may deem likely to be useful to them in their trades; but no more. The trustees are exhorted to bear in mind at all that the school is founded and endowed for the purpose of making mechanics of the boys. ''I expressly direct" says the old gen. tleman, "that each and every scholar shall be compelled to learn and be thoroughly in structed in one good mechanical trade, so that when they leave the school on the com pletion of their indenturs they may be able to support themselves by the labor of theil own hands"
 How this well planned scheme will work remains to be seen. There is money enough to carry it out thoroughly, and 1t will there- fore have fair trial. There is need enough of schools which will not make young men unwilling to do work which is needed and respectable, even if slightly dirty. Success to the plan of the benevolent Philsdelphian.

From the Boston Herald
 Four travelling men from various parts of the State and resident of Scranton sat down to friendly game of draw poker the other night, writes correspondent from Scranton, Pa. Some of them were going to leave Scranton on the one o'clock train, and it was agreed all around that the game should end at midnight, no matter who might be ahead at that hour. The ante was five cents, just enough to make the game in- teresting, and ten cents was the limit. The banker gave each player ten five cent and ten ten cent chips, and for an hour the game was about as monotonous as poker could very well be- Then some one proposed 8 jack pot, and from that time on there was more fun. The banker then established "kit- ty,n into which he soon deposited enough chips to pay for round of something, and the game got livelier and nvelier all the while.
 After that every hand was jack pot, and the "kitty'' kept collecting funds to pay fol more rounds. By eleven o'clock the party was very jelly. A little after that hopE fh'

fun became general, and it wasn't long after that before something unusual happened with the cards. Two hands were dealt around and no one was able to open the jack pot. There was 8 dollar in the pot then, and, after the cards had been dealt the third time, nobody had enough to open it with. The result was the same at the end of the sixth deal, when the pot contained two dol
 lars. It was so big pot then that every
 body wanted it, and the papers were thrown around for the seventh time. Then the man at the left of the dealer opened the pot, and
 to the amazement of all, every player came
 in. In answer to the question, Glow many cards will you have, sir2" from the dealer,
 the man who had opened the pot said: "Give me one."
 'fSame here," said the next one.
 "Ditto," exclaimed the third.
 "Me too," the fourth remarked.
 "That's all want," the dealer said. as he helped himself to one card. "Now make your bets, gentlemen"
 The first player bet the limit. the next raised him ten and they all stayed in. He made it good and went them ten better and the second man raised it, and the other three raised him. It was getting decidedly inter esting, but the men at the left of the dealer covered all the raises and came back at them with ten cents better. In this way they kept betting and borrowing chips from one an other until every chip on the table was in bu0 pOtJ WukCA uOW +16pI6souGGu sof6u uOI- lars and fifty cents, and still they all stayed. Then pockets were ransacked for small change, and, after all the subsidiary coin in the party had been dumped into the pot, dol lar bills and Bland cartwheels were laid upon the pile and bet by fractions until they be- longed to the pot also, and still there were no signs of weakness on the part of a single one of the plucky players. Somebody then put five dollar bill on the pile and took silver dollars in place of it, and the betting went around few times more. There was then between twenty-one and twenty-tWo dollars in the pot, and it looked as though that hand would last until the midnight hour was reached. The pot grew and thrived un- til it contained twenty-nine dollars worth of chips and solid cash, and then some one called. It was the dealer, and he said: 'sThat potts big enough for a ten cent ! limit, and so please all show up.n
 All did so except the man who had opened the pot, and he held back little. Each had drawn one card, and there were four pulls { an ace full on tens, jack full on queens, g I nine full on deuces and seven full on kings. The other man then spread out four fours ! and an ace, ooolly remarking as he did so: '1 had them fours on the start, and drew ! one card just to fool you fellows. I guess ! the potts mine, gentlemen,' and he began to paw the pile over.
 By this time four disgusted men were kick. | ing themselves all over the room and putting | their heads against window castings and fur I niture, and there was some tall and loud I swearing by an angry quartette of bass and ! tenor voices. Just then the clock struck | twelve. Accounts were speedily settled ! The last hand had been played.

Here is a remedy for cramp, suggested by Dr. R. ". St. Clair, of London. Let the patient provide himself with good, strong cord and keep 1t always by him. When the spasm comes on lss him wind this cord around the affected part, take an end in each hand and give them good sharp pull. It will hurt little-it is useless if it does not-but the cramp will vanish at once.

Their stud consists of two l hundred ferrets, and thirty rabbits and the ! milk of three COWS are required every day for 1 their food.
 The plan of harbor defence introduced into l the house of representatives by Mir. Chipman ! of Michigan Is an expensive one. The plan | would be to construct at the entrance of Bos- \ ton harbor, for example, two submerged tur- reted torpedo forts, each of which would be | supplied with two sixteen-inch riAed cannon, with various auxiliary torpedo appliances. The estimated expense for Boston alone would
 be more than 2.000,0 900. One defect in the plan is that it is, so to speak. patent one;
 the ideas having been suggested by MT. Me- Carthy, who is to be paid $50. 900 for permit ! ting the government to use them.
 Mayor Skaggs of Talladega, Alabama, frank | 1y says: But we cannot go on forever stealing the negro's ballot. There must be wiser and more honorable solution of the question. We have gone too far in our election frauds, and soon we shall learn that success founded
 on fraud cannot be permanent. In the black
 belt, where negroes are in the greater major ity, the tactics by which the negro has been deprived of his vote has also served the pur- pose of depriving the white men of fair rep
 resentation. The negro vote has been used to count the south Alabama Democrat in and ! the north Alabama Democrat out.
