1t il stated that under the new administra-
ton the territorial offices will be filed with
residents Of the territories. The same rule is
applicable and will doubtless be applied to Dis
trict appointments. In the case Of local Of
fees, pure and simple; like the recordership of
deeds, for which no special training is neces-
sary, and Of which the compensation is fur
nished entirely by District property-own-
ers, there can be no question of the applica-
ton of the rule. In the case Of judicial ap-
pointments the rule has not been rigidly en-
forced in the territories. II it be true that in
any Of the territories the local bar is not suff-
GENTLY strong to supply the best material for
such appointments, the case is not the same in
the District, whose lawyers are numerous and
able. In regard to such Offices, which are not
purely local, q consideration Of the character
of the duties to be performed supplies add

Attention was called recently by a correspond
emit of The STAR to the fact disclosed by the
evidence in the Taulbee investigation that the
middleman in certain Of the real estate pur-
chases made by the Commissioners for the Dis
trict was an alien, and the question was raised
whether title to the property in these cases was
not still in the vendor from whom the alien
purchased. It is stated by some Of the real
estate lawyers of the city that the title
In these cases is neither retained by the
aliens vendor, nor does it pass through
the alien to the District, but that it
was forfeited to the United States at the mo-
ment when the property was conveyed to the
alien, and that an act of Congress is necessary
to perfect the title. The Law, which was approved
March 8, 1887, provides that it shall be unlaw-
full for any person or persons, not citizens of
the United States, or who have not lawfully
declared their intention to become such citi-
zens, to hereafter acquire, hold, or own
real estate so hereafter acquired, or any inter-
est therein, in any of the territories of the
United States or in the District of Columbia;"
and that all property acquired, held or
owned in violation of the provisions of this
act shall be forfeited to the United States, and
it shall be the duty of the Acknowledgement to
enforce every such forfeiture by bill In equity
or other proper process" 1t was subsequent
to the approval of this law that the purchases
were made by the alien middleman If the
construction given to the law is correct, when
the District bought certain school sites with
money contributed in part by the local tax
payers it purchased property which was for
feited to the United States and which
the Attorney-General was authorized to
recover. The Commissioners are of course
responsible for the general system of
employing middlemen, which exposes the Dis
trict to the danger Of this and other complica-
tions Of title, but the opinion is expressed that
the blame for this apparent ENHANCEMENT rests
not so much upon the Commissioners as upon
the assistant attorney for the District, who
testified that in most cases he made an indi-
vidual investigation as to whether the middle
mans title was good and unincumbered.

Gen Harrison has discovered something. 1t
il in the nature of reform. His predecessors
have been in the habit of kissing babies, but he
chucks them under the chin, tickles them
slightly, and gracefully moves them on to make
way for the rest Of the procession of visitors.
To tickle baby instead Of kissing it is Just the
thing. The baby is none the wiser and the
mother is hardly conscious Of any difference,
while the real victim enjoys delicious inward
sense Of relief and escape. This is the frs,
master-stroke Of the new administration.

Don't Toss the Baby.

The throwing baby into the air and
catching him again is always risky prac-
tice, certain though the tosser may be of
his ouickness of eye and sureness of hand.
A sudden and unexpected movement OF
the child in his mid air flight may result
in cruel fall.
A gay young father snatched up his
baby boy one morning and tossed him to
the ceiling. Twice the little fellow went
flying through the air and came down
safely into the waiting arms. The third
time the excited child gave spring loft
delight as his fathers hands released him,
plunged forward, and pitching over the
fathers shoulder, fell head downward to
the floor. When the poor child came out
of the stupor in which he lay for hours it
was found that, though no bones had been
broken. the brain had sustained an injury
that would, in all probability, render the
child an imbecile.
Another baby snatched from the floor
and tossed into the air received fatal
wound in the top of the head from the
pointed ornament of 9 chandelier. Still
another child slipped between her father
hands as he caught at her in her down
ward fight, and although his frenzieo
grasp on the baby's arm saved her IRON
falling to the ground, it wrenchea tne
muscles and sinews so cruelty that tne
girls arm was shrunken and practically
useless to her all her life. These are ex-
IRENE cases, but the fact of their occurring
at all should be enough to warn one from
the habit of relinquishing ones hold on
child when tossing ii. Erchange

HOW to Succeed.

The Harper Brothers, who have estab-
Iished great publishing house in New
York City, were poor boys. James, the
Oldest, learned his trade in John street,
and made it a practice in summer to do
fair half days work before other boys who
worked in the same place had had their
breakfast. He often worked after hours,
also, and almost the last words that he ut
tered before he died at ripe old age give
the secret of his success. He said: cit is
not best to be studying how little we can
work, but how much" And you may be
sure. bows, the ones who will be the great
men of this country twenty or thirty years
from now are the boys who are trying,
wherever they are, to do as much work as
they can, and not those who are constantly
looking for chances to shirk duty. What
a grand thing it would be if boys who have
every advantage that money can buy would
be as eager to make success of life. Just
think what strides they could make in any
branch of learning, having nothing to hin
der. That is why pity the rich boys
they have nothing to hinder; )" they don't
have to work, and for that reason very
often never learn to do irksome or tiresome
things. And one who succeeds must learn
to do very many things that are not pleas
ant, He must work when he would rather

Daniel Maurry, brother of the wife OF
John w. Savers, a wealthy slate manu-
facturer of Bangor, Pa, went West over
thirty years ago. Becoming homesick, he
disposed of his business to advantage and
started eastward. Last Saturday after
noon, looking like tramp, he appeared
in Bangor, and was hooted at by boys
whom he met. He entered the factory of
John Savers, who recognized him, and, al
though ashamed of his appearance, took
him to his home, where his wife, Murray's
sister, gladly welcomed him. He COM
planned of poverty and old age, and de-
sired place where he could be cared for
Mr.. and Mrs. Sayers assured him that his
home could be with them. Thanking
them, with tears in his eyes, he reached
into his boot and pulled out roll of bills.
From a waist belt he took more green
backs and sack of gold from hidden
pocket more money, and from another one
more bills, until he had astonished them
with thousands of dollars. He then said
he thus appeared to test their worth.
Shaved, bathed and clothed in a new suit
which he extracted from his valise, he has

Gen. Harrison and the Wine Cup.

given on one occasion At the close of

drinking water. Another gentleman Of.
fered toast, and said: General. will
you not favor me by taking glass OF
wine?' The General, in a very gentle
manly way, begged to be excused. He
was again urged to join in glass of wine.
This was too much. He rose from his seat
and said in the most dignifed manner !:
Gentlemen, / have twice refused to par
take of the wine-cup. l hope that will be
sufficient. Though you press the matter

Learn a Trade.

The practical advantage to one who has
learned trade was exemplifed the other
day in the person of Patrick Gleason,
mayor of Long Island City. The appro-
priation for the maintenance of the water
department having run short, number OF
the men have been unpaid for some time.
The other day they simply said that If
they didn't get their money they would
shut down the waterworks. Mayor Glea-
son, who has attained fame of late by his
manful attack upon the fences and other
distractions of Long Island railroad,
which he leveled single handed with an
ak, said that he didn't propose that Long
Island City should be left without its
water supply. He couldn't force the city
officials to appropriate the money, but he
hitched up his trotters, drove to the water
works, and told the men on duty that it
they wanted to leave they could leave, he
could run the engine himself, with the as
sistanee of one or two of his friends. As
he is an old engineer, says Fire and Water,
they all knew he could do what he said.
Consequently there was no strike. Long
Island City was not deprived of its water
supply, and since then we understand the
salaries have been paid up. This is the
kind of mayor to have.-FreS6ytersan
