THEY WANT IRON.
People In the Stone Age who Are Anxious 20
GET Out Of IL.

New York Sum-
Here and there in a few corners OF the
world people are still living in the stone age,
but it is observed that they are very glad
to emerge into the age of iron as soon as
they learn something of the properties Of
that wonderful metal. DIR. Finsch had an
interesting experience q while ago among
the natives of Northeastern New Guinea
The natives had already met white man.
and had seen axes and other implements
that were far superior to their axes Of stone
or shell. They had also seen hoop iron,
and had found that they could make imple-
ments of it. DR.. Finsch had with him lot
of looking-glasses, beads, finger rings, and
other articles calculated to please the fancy
Of the untutored savage. But the gewgaws
attracted but little attention. The savage
in those parts has a very practical side Of
his nature, and he called loudly for iron.
The women and the young people were
pleased with the beads for a short time, but
they soon tired of them. Even the Papuan
boys unhesitatingly threw down their hand
fuls of beads if little piece of hoop iron
was offered to them.
1t is easy to understand that as soon as o
people who have always used stone and
shell implements appreciate in some degrees
the advantage of iron, no present can be
more acceptable to them than iron. DIR.
Finsch found that an iron nail was far
more valued present than the trinkets
which delight the tribes of Africa, who
have long lived in the iron age. He saws the
Papuans of New Guinea do not want raw
iron for they understand neither smelling
nor smithing, but iron in any manufactured
form that is convenient for their use is
eagerly desired. They think a little piece
of hoop iron is treasure, for they have
found that they can sharpen it on a rock to
an edge or point.
On the other hand, DR.. Finsch says he
met natives on the south coast of New
Guinea who were still using stone axes,
though they had had iron axes for some time.
He was astonished to observe the rapidity
with which they could fell trees and fashion
logs into canoes with no other implement
than the stone ak of their fathers

By Private Detectives.

About 1880 o'clock last night a well-dressed
and rather good-looking woman, who was Ia

stated that she lived on the hill, and that her
husband was registered in a downtown hotel
with young woman from Lawrenceville.
Superintendent O'Mara and Inspector Nc
Aleese, who were present, questioned the
woman, and found that she had private de-

therefore refused to handle it At the hotel it

but very few large firms out in the cold. A
conference was held between the Mill Commit
tee and the Carbon Iron Company, whose works
are located on Thirty-second street, yesterday.
The Amalgamated scale does not SUIT the firm,
as the process for making iron is entirely differ
ent. 1t was decided that a new scale had to be
made to govern the wages of the men in this
mill. The general manager had to 60 east last
night and as repairs are being made at the mill
nothing will be done in the matter for week
or two.

REPORT OF TEE GRAND JURY.

This document, which we publish
.in iulI in another column, will
furnish some very disagreable read
.ing matter to those of our citizens
.whO have the good name of our
TOWN at heart, but it will be VERT
|able gall and wormwoodr to our
municipal board and all connected
with the city government.
The fact that the city's books
have been kept in a miserable
manner" and that the trial and
prosecutionOf serious misdemean1
'Ors' have been prevented by a lax
Ity that amounts to criminal uegli-l
|sence, demands investigation. and
speedy remedy. The men TOD
whose charge is intrusted the mani
agement of a ety's interests should
be held strictly accountable for|
their actions, aud he who BY his
negligence or laxity connIves at
crime, should be made 10 feel the
full force OF popular condemnation,
as well as legal justice. The charges
laid against the city officers By The
jury 7 very serious and il
rue, which we 10 not doubt they
are, then officers should be asked
10 step down and out, and make
loom for better men
1t Is pleasing 10 note that our

NEW YORK, Dec. Sit is rumnr
ed at the Press Club that Col Eli.
ott :. Shepard, the pious editor of
the Mail aud Express, will retire
from journalism at the beginning OF
.the year.
The Colonel has attracted a good
deal of attention since he became
connected with the press, more on
account OF his peculiar manage
ment than any display Of ability.
Those who have The best nppnr-
iunities for judging his talents and
who are unprejudiced express the
opinion that if Shepard was not =
millionaire and allied to the Van
Iderhllt family he would. instead of
controlling and managing a metrD
|pOlltian journal, be an ordinary re
working for small wages.
Under his management the paper
has maintained its influence, all
hOugh its circulation is not Quite|
as large as when he became the re
SpOnsTble manager. The bibleI
quotations will disappear from the|
paper when Col. Shepard dies, buI
