The Old Garrett.
From Good Housekeeping.

From Good Housekeeping.
A charming old place was that great dusty
With its dim hooks enlivened with spider and
mouse,
The storeroom of rubbish, the joy of the child
rem,
That precious old garrett in grandmother's
There were chairs lame and backless, and books
minus covers,
A tiny tin foot stove, a great spinning wheel,
And another much smaller that went by
treadle,
A pair Of wool cards and queer little reel.
There were punches of odorus herbs on the raft
Much better than drug stuffs, Grandmother
would say;
And we daintiiy tasted OF mint and catnip,
As we spent in the garnet some long rainy
Going, up the steep stairs with our clatter and
While Grandmothers Gliding up after US
"Now, children, be sure and not get into mis-.
chief,
And Whatever you do, pray don't trouble the
wheeis!"
But how could we help 1t, when there they were
standing,
Just longing for some one to give them a
twirly
So out of sheer pity we patted them lightly
And sent them aswing in the Old dizzy whirl
Then there was a cradle, the quaintest of
cradles
With a roof Ger the head and with red
painted sides;
How many dear babies have slept in its
shelter
And cooed as they went on their lullaby rides
There were roomy old chests that were filed to
o'eriowlng,
With treasures and relics of years long since
gone.
We dressed in the garments Of obsolete pat
terms,
And made the plAce ring with cur chatter and
song.
No zest OF the pilgrim IL search OF rare relics
In Old moldy ruins, or catacombs' gloom,
Can equal the eager AMI patieut ransacking
or cnllGTen let loose in an old attic room.

The Hartford Horror

There is some doubt whether a boiler ex-
plosion caused the wreck of the Hartford.
Conn, hotel in which so many lives were
lost. There is no doubt that the boiler in
the hotel exploded, but there are reasons
for thinking that the building fell to pisces
before the explosion. and that the explosion
was a result rather than the cause of the
wreck
A great many facts relative to the con-
struction of the building have been dis.
covered since the catastrophe. 1t seems
that the building was considered so unsafe
that no insurance company would issue
policy upon it. 1t was built hastily, ard of
very poor material The foundations we're
not solid, aud the walls we're alarmingly
thin. Two contractors refused to complete
the walls because they could not get men to
work upon them, they being too danger
Gus.
The building has always been considered
a very weak one, and within the last year
evidences Of its unsafe condition have been
noticed and pointed out. Assuming that
these statements are true ought not the
owner Of the building to be arrested on the
same charge that has been lodged against
the two engineers There is probability
that be is responsible for the catastrophe No
favor should be shown him. He may have
a little more money than the engineers aud
more influence. but be may not be as honest
a man as either Of them. He may be the
man who should DO punished and he should
be arrested.

"rhe Barring OF the Door. "

1t is not generally known that the incident
which forms the subject OF the droll Scottish
song, The Barring of the Door" which also oc-
ours in the Nights" of Straparola is of eastern
origin. In an Arabian tale blockhead, having
married his pretty cousin, gave the customary
feast TO their relations and friends When the
festivities were over he conducted his guests to
the door, and, from absence Of mind, neglected
TO shut it before returning to his wife. Dear
cousin, said his wife to him when they were
alone, go and shut the street door 1T would
be strange indeed he replied, III did such a
thing. Am just made bridegroom, clothed
IN silk, wearing a shawl and a dagger set
with diamonds and am l to go and shut the
door; Why, my dear, you are crazy. Go and shut
1t yourself" oh indeed, - exclaimed the wife,
Am Young, robed in a dress of lace and pre-
clous stones-am to go and shut the street door?
No. indeed! 1t is you who have become crazy,
and not |. Come, let us make a bargain, she
continued and let the first who speaks 60 and
fasten the door" Agreed said the husband
and Immediately he became mute, and the wife,
too was silent, while they both sat down,
dressed as they were in their nuptial attire,
looking at each other and seated ON opposite
sofas. Thus they remained for two hours
Some thieves happened to pass by, and seeing
the door open. entered and laid hold of what
ever came to their hands. The silent couple
heard footsteps in the house, but opened not
their mouths. The thieves came into their
room and saw them seated mOtiOnless and ap-
parently Indifferent to all that might take place
They continued their pilage, therefore, collect
ing together every valuable, and even dragging
away Jne carpets from beneath them; they laid
their hands on the noodle and his wife,
taking from their person every article of Jew
elry, while they, in fear of los ng the wager,
said not word. Having thus cleared the house,
the thieves departed quietly, but the pair con-
tinued to sit, uttering not syllable. Toward
morning a police officer came past on his tour
of inspection, and, seeing the door open, walked
in. After searching all the rooms and finding
no person he entered their apartment and in
quired the meaning of what he saw. Neither
OF them would condescend to reply. The officer
became angry and ordered their heads to be cut
off. The executioner'S sword was about to per-
form its office when the wife criel out: ''Sir,
he is my husband. Do not kill hm!n "Ohi
OH exclaimed the husband, overioyed and
clapping his hands, you have lost the wager;
90 and shut the door, He then explained the
whole affair to the police officer, who shrugged
his shoulders and went away,

The correspondence in the Sackville-
West matter, which was published in our
dispatches yesterday. discloses very little
that is new or important. There is only
one point in it that is calculated to attract
attention. 1t is that Lord Salisbury sug-
gested that Minister West might be dis
missed without doing anybody any harm.
Soon after the Murchison-West corre-
spondence was published, Secretary Bayard
asked Lord Salisbury to recall Minister
West. The British premier declined to do so
without first being given an opportunity to
inquire into all the facts of the case. 1t was
evident that if he were given all the time
he wanted, he would not reach a decision
in many months, and in the then condition
Of public sentiment it was deemed import
ant that the matter should be disposed of at
once. The president, therefore. acted in
accordance with Lord Salisburys sugges-
ton and sent Minister West his passport.
Both the President and Secretary Bayard
have been severely criticised for dismissing
Minister West. 1t turns out, however, that
the President acted not only in accordance
with his Judgment, but also in harmony
with Lord Salisbury's suggestion.
If Minister West had been recalled be
would not have been eligible, it seems, to
any other diplomatic appointment. That
was the reason probably that Lord Sails
bury suggested his dismissal. Minister
West made a grave mistake, but it is pretty
certain that his diplomatic career is not yet
ended.

Florida's Health Board.

Florida will soon have a state board OF
health. She has wanted such a board long
time and 1t is probable that if she had had one
last year the state would not have suffered
so much from panics and quarantine restric-
tions. OF course state board will not be
an absolute protection against yellow fever,
but if it does its duty fearlessly and intel
ligently. it will help 10 keep the fever out
of the state. aud if the fever should gain a
fcothold there. it will aid in keeping it from
spreading, and in other ways lessen its dam
aging effects
The board is to consist of three members,
and, Judging from Gov. Flemings we'll
known interest in health matters, it is quite
safe to predict that it will be a strong board.
He has twenty days, from the day on which
the law becomes operative, to appoint the
board. 1t is probable, however. that he
will make the appointments within very
few days He may have already made up
his mind with regard to whom be will ap-
point. While tie legislature was discuss
ing tie health bill he was probably con-
sidering the qualifications of various men
for members Of the board. He will be
guided, doubtless, in making the appoint
nients wholly by determination to have q
board composed OF men who are best quail
fed for the duties they will have to dis
charge
The board is clothed with power to ap.
point health officer, who will have an as.
sistant. Ths members Of the board are TO
rec Give a Fer diem compensation whenever
they are serving the state, and the health
officer and his assistant are to have salaries.
The boardiis given ample authority with re-
spect to quarantine matters, and. in fact,
in all other matters which relate excu-
sIvely to the health of the state.
Gov. Fleming is entitled to whatever
credit is attached to the health bill. He
believed that Florida needed a board OF
health, and he felt that the sooner such q
board was provided the better 1t would be
for the state. He had the nerve 10 call an
extra session Of the leg stature for no other
purpose than to create health board. He
thought that the best interest of the STATE
required the creation of such a board
before the beginning of the warm season,
and he therefore took the responsibility of
mourning the expense necessary TO provide
IL. Nothing may occur to demonstrate the
wisdom of his course, but whether there does
or not he has the satisfaction of knowing
that what be has done is approved by the
people.

Kenna's Victory.

Senator Kenna of West Virginia has sue
ceeded at last in securing a reelection. The
contest was long one, and many of his
friends gave up all hope some time ago Of
his return to the Senate On Wednesday
it looked as if the democrats of the legisla-
.ure were about to desert him, seventeen Of
them having abandoned him. Last week
some of his strongest supporters openly sad
that he could not be elected and advised
putting up another candidate.
Senator Kenna, however, never despaired
Of success. If he did he did not permit his
friends to know it. He was always conf
dent and smiling, and constantly encour-
aged his ieutenants. He has always had
the reputation of being an excellent political
manager, and in the election that has lust
closed with his triumph be has sustained
his reputation. When he was in the House.
although very young man, he was one of
the most trusted of the democratic advisers
He is only Al years of age, and has served
six years in the House and five IN the Sem
ate. There have been very few men in this
country who have had as remarkable career
in public life at SO early an age.

Reneal the Law or ooeY II.

The resignation Of Councilman Smith
was a surprise. The resignation of any
other one Of the councilmen so soon after
the Inauguration Of the new city govern
ment would have been a surprise. The cir
cumstances which led TO Councilman
| Smiths resignation were stated in our local
/ columns yesterday They grew out of a
practice which is forbidden by the city or
/ dlnances, viz, that of councilnen teng in
! terested in contracts 10 which the city is a
! party.
Those who framed and had passed the or.
dinance prohibiting either councilmen CT
salaried officials of the city from having an
interest in any city contract had the good of
the city in view. They saw that it was diff
cult matter for a councilman to do his
whole duty to the people where his interests
were in conflict with those of the city, and
that if councilmen we're permitted to
accept contracts from the city and pass
upon their own bills there would in all
probability be scandals They understood
human nature very well, and the ordinance
in question was intended for the protection
Of the councilmen as we'll as the people.
II there was healthier public sentiment it
would be- because any violation of it would
be strongly and emphatcally condemned.
Counclmen may say that they get no pay
for their services, and therefore they ought
to be permitted 10 accept contracts for city
work and to supply the city's wants when
they can do so with as much advantage TO
the city as an outsider This argument
may seem to be good one, but 1t is with
out force In the face Of the law. Those
who make the laws must obey them.
Unless they do it will be difficult to compel
others to do so
II councilmen insist upon prohting by
contracts with the city they should repeal
the ordinance prohibiting them from doing
so. They ought not TO place themselves in
the position of saying in effect; I'VE are
prohibited by law from entering into any
contract with the city by which money
may be made, but we do not intend to pay
any respect to the law" Those who do not
intend to respect the law ought TO resign.
They can then become competitors for the
city's contracts. They certainly ought not
TO insist upon doing what the law forbids
Doubtless the councilmen who do work
or furnish supplies for the city intend to do
only what is right in their dealings with
the city, but their good intentions do not
excuse them for violating the law. II the
council awards contract TO one Of its own
members it shows by that act that it has
as much contempt for the law as the men,
Der who accepts the contract.

Mr.. p T. Baruum, the Snowman, was
humbugged by woman in New York the
other day. The woman approached him,
and exhibited a card on which was written
an address in Harlem. She said her hus-
band had broken his leg, and she wanted to
notify his sister at the address Mr. Bar.
mum told her that Harlem was a consider
able distance, and when she remarked
piteously that she would have to walk, he
gave her the small change he had with him.
In relating the incident afterward to some
friends, be was disguised to find that the
woman was a well-known impostor. He
had her arrested when he saw her again,
but she was released when she remarked In
court that III he would let up on her, she
would enter his circus as the only woman
he bad ever bad arrested" Perhaps Mr..
Bsrnum has humbugged the public on
several occasions, and he should be willing
to be hunbugged himself occasionally.
