Considerable complaint is being made
over the work of a youthful gang OF thieves
who make the south part of the city the
scene of their operations They roo
orchards of all kinds OF fruit and so fear
less have they become that they pursue
their evil ways in broad daylight. The
writer witnessed a gang of these petty
thieves at their work yesterday afternoon
about o'clock. There were four boys In
the gang, whose age would average about
fourteen years, and they were equipped
with sacks in which TO carry away their
plumber. while one energetic lad had taken
OFF his coat, tied up the arms, made sort
of sack of the garment and was filling 1t
also. Having obtained load sufficient to
satisfy them they struck across Lewis
street bridge to the West side, dropping
peaches, apples and pears out OF the sacks
at almost every step they took.

The Australian Voting System.

from the Boston commercial Bulletin.
The new voting system, which goes into effect
in Massachusetts, next year, and which is copy
of the Australian ballot system, is causing much
interest all over the country, and requests for
copies of the law have been received by Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth Pierce from legisla-
tors in every state of the union. Efforts will
probably be made to have the same law adopted
by many other states this year. The state prints
all the ballots for state offices and the cities and
towns for municipal and town offices, and the
names of all candidates are on one ballot. The
ballots are given to voters by the precinct Off
GERS. The voter takes his ballot into a private
room and marks the names which he wants to
vote for. He will be fined for showing his
marked ballot to any one, and fine is levied
on person who attempts to find out for whom
he votes. Thus deadly blow is struck at the
political heller and ballot distributor at the
polls, contamination devoutly to be wished.
The printers will lose very large and profita-
BILE business in the printing of the regular bal
lots for political parties and of split tickets for
independent candidates, and also the ever
prevalent stickers which have shown increasing
popularity each year. The printers selected by
the state and cities and towns will be the gain
ers. However. anxious candidates will proba-
bly, want posters, flyers and circulars as of yore
and the printers will probably find the pro-
verbal half loaf better than no bread

A Cheap Eating House.


The impecunious clerks who have not time (?)
to dine at Young's or Parker's have at least
some compensation in the ''laugh-and- grow
fat plan which attracts SO many of them as
customers to the "Hotel de Crack" as one OF
the eating stalls of the limited space is called.
Jollity seems to moisten the sandwiches and
flavor the doughnuts, and for the very reason
that SO many jokes are cracked its cognomeu
has double significance. A young man steps
in and takes a seat, and when asked for his
order replies soberly, Dogs" The young girl
is used to that order and calls out to the kitchen
"Sausages for one" The next conner does not
wait to giver her his order, but whistles as if
calling dog, and the girl repeats the first
order for his benft, ''Sausages for one" The
next customer gives his order with dignity
Baked beans, without" without what, sirS''
asks the girl, respectfully waiting his answer
"Cockroaches," is the solemn reply, which
| convulses all the rest at the table. After
the tables are cleared late conner rushes
in and ask: ''Well! have you got anything
left?" Nothing but leaves" replies the smii-
ing landlord as he proceeds to wait upon his
customer. Speaking of cockroaches and water
bugs, leads me to remark that they are the
pest of some Of the eating houses. One day
when passing through City hall avenue
friend saw baker bring out empty barrels
from a restaurant. The baker looked into one
of the barrels as if something peculiar met his
sight, and then turned it upside down with a
bounce on the ground. Millions and millions
OF water bugs scampered in every direction,
some seeking their native warmth in the
kitchen and as many more rushing toward
City hall to.get situations on the water board
monstrous cockroach was seen crossing Bow
doin square on the crossing stone. one even
ing about o'clock and heading directly for
an eating house. Said one who had watched
his movements few moments: "He knows
where to get his supper" The rehearsal of
these trivial things of every day life only indi-
Gates that one sketching in the Hub sees many
| things both sublime and ridiculous.

A BRILLIANT AFFAIR IN WHICH ATLANTA BORE
COysPrCuOus SHARE

BRILLIANT AFFAIR IN WHICH ATLANTA BORE A
CONSPICUOUS SHARE.
Special Correspondence of the Atlanta Journal
WASHINGTON, d. c., January lathe musi-
Gale Of Prof. Lent tonight was most brilliant
and successful affair, and it loses none Of its
lustre that Atlanta and Georgia took 80 bright
and conspicuous part in it.
The musicale was given by the fourishing
musical seminary of Prof. Ernst Lent at the
All Souls church, cor. of /. and 18th streets 1t
Is the custom here to hold concerts at leading
churches, and the largest gatherings attend.
The building was packed tonight with an ele-
CANT and critical attendance, including musical
critics and official celebrities. The program
was varied and scientific. and was warmly ap-
plauded. The best productions of Hoffman,
Bach, Mendlesshon. Mozart, Beethoven, DAN
ella, schubert, and others were rendered with
spirit and expression.
The opening piece was a trio by Hoffman,
Miss Daisy Simons played the piano, Miss
May Avery the violin, and Professor Ernst
Lent the violoncello. Prof. Lent is q master of
the cello, as also of the piano and violin. and
is the concert leader in this musical city, while
Miss Simons handled the piano exquisitely.
The Georgia girl held her own with her old
Stradivarius instrument. Miss Simons gave a
piano nocturn by Grieg with wonderful power.
There were thirteen parts of this program,
all powerfully rendered. The Georgia girl led
in an orchestra piece of Schubert on the first
violin, there being nine performers in 1t. This
piece is called the Hungarian march. She
also performed La Straniera, by Dancla, o
violin solo, and Beethoven's concerto in G
major on the piano, with Prof. Lent accom-
Panying on another piano. Two portions of
the concerto, the largo and finals, were given,
and the Atlanta lassie held up the Georgia end
OF the affair, giving remarkable expression
and smoothness, and illustrating Prof. Lents
faithful teaching. Miss Avery and Miss Lent
both won enthusiastic encores and Miss Avery
was attired in a Greek green silk stage Dress

Lacing the Liver in Twain


ACTUALLY CUT ALMOST IN TWO BY THE CoNsTRIC G.
TON OF CoRsETs.
From the Youths Companion.
Says DR.. Austin Flint, one of the highest and
fairest authorities in America: ''The most i'm
portant distortion of the liver is that pro-
duced by tight-lacing. In consequence of con-
stricton of the lower part of the chest the liver
is compressed from side to side. and circular
furrow, or depression, is produced, which may
be so deep as almost to divide the organ trans
versely into two parts, of which the lower may
even be tilted up over the upper. Correspond
ing to the tight-lace furrow, the liver substance
is atrophied, and the capsule is thickened and
Opaque.
According to w. johnson Smith, of England,
the wasting at the furrow may 60 on until the
parts above and below it are connected merely
by membranous band. Recently, in this
country, physician cut off and removed the
lower portion of the liver of tight-lacing pa
tent
A late number of the Medical Record adduces
the testimony of many physicians from differ
ent ports of Europe as to the effects of tight
lacing ON health. As the names will be unfa-
miliar to our readers generally, we will omit
them, and give only their condensed testi-
| mony.

Quotability of Various Authors.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Which English authors are the richest in sup
plying Familiar quotations." l am prompted
to ask the question by a remark in Mr.. John
Morley's introduction to the new edition OF
Wordsworth. According to Mr.. Morley, Words
worth stands third on the list "Only two
writer's" he says, shave contributed SO many
the handbooks of familiar quotations Words
worth fills more space than anybody save
Shakespeare and Pope" A reference to the
last edition of Bartlett" which is far the best
collection, does not quite bear out Mr.. Morley's
pages filled by some of the authors seyerally:
