Abolish the Fee System.

From the unmistakable utterances OF

The Repeal of the Tax Exemption La,

The Repeal of the Tax Exemption Law.
The press of the territory is making
strong demand for the repeal of the tax
exemption clause. Whether the law is
wise or otherwise it will hardly be re-
peaed. The class who are benefited by
it honestly and those who use it dishon-
estly to escape the burdens of taxation
are too numerous, and too important at
elections to be deprived OF their special
privileges. The average legislator, hav-
ing future political preferment in view,
will hesitate about depriying them OF it

There are twenty-three or thirty grades,
and sometimes it takes girl about
three months to learn the trade. They
earn from 50 to 81 week, according
to experience and experiences. They
wear old dresses and handkerchiefs tied
about their heads. The rags are heaped

But to the philosophers who tell us
about swoman'S larger sphere of develop

where these opportunities come in the
rag serter's existence. The dealer told
ME that three of his best girls married
last year. They evidently had not found
the ideal plane of independence, while
supporting themselves.
When properly sorted the rags are
packed in bales: these are put through
a hydraulic press and their bulks great

to 1850 pounds apiece. These are
shipped to Eastern cities and there
manufactured into new material. l

One pile of malleable iron was eStlma-

carefully sorted and put into lots. Not
the smallest scrap is wasted; but all find
their way back and have new lease of
life in some different shape. The ware

might easily imagine strange tales of
the lives of people in so odd an indus

The members of Company 81 are feeling in

New lockers will be put in the room to be oc

well as the other companies.
The company is in better condition than
when the former captain resigned, as since
Lieut.. Whine assumed command he has
been doing considerable wedding, and who
ever is elected captain at the coming election
will find good foundation to build on.
Lieut.. Winnie is not a candidate for that posi-
ton, though in every way competent to fill
same, as he says he has not the lime to give
that is required to place the company as high
as he is anxious to see il. He knows about
what is needed, as he has been in command
since Aug 2. and will be good helper to the
one who is elected.

"CHRIsT THE IDEAL
An Interesting Sermon by Rev.
Foster of Christian Chanel

An Interesting Sermon by Rev.
Foster, OF Christian Chapel.
Yesterday morning Rev. w. A. Eos
ter's subject was Attaining the Ideal; -
Christian chapel, Carroll and Louis
streets. The text was IL. Cer.,iv., Ills:
For our light afflietien, which is for the
moment, worketh for us more and more
exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;
while we look not at the things which
are cen, but at the things which are
rot seen: for the things which are
seen are temporal; but the things which
are not seen are eterual." He said:
This sentence has much in it that we
cannot consider this morning, but we
will notice one fragment: ''While we
look not at the things which are seen,
but at the things which are not SEEM
This looking at things which are not
seen, you will observe. Is laid down as a
condition upon which some good is
gained.
ideal, the perfect. The painter thinks
of pictures without fault of light and
shade, of perspective or composition
but the perfection in art as he fancies
1t he is never able TO bring out upon his
canvas: for, though he give his life in
the attempt, his work will still show the
lmperfectionS of all things done by
human hands. This is so everywhere
else as well; in business, i'll church, we
set before us patterns up to which we
may never come; but this effort to imi-
tate the perfect, to reach the highest
planes, is the handspring of all progress.
The ideal is always unseen. while
we look at the things which are not
SEEM" says this Scripture. When has
the ideal in art been realized? And, ex-
cept in theories, where is the ideal gov
eminent? Aud who will show us the
ideal man to-day? In all lines we aim
for the perfect, but it is never seen;
and hence. it is that a little further
not by sight" The Christian is some
times laughed at for protesting that he

the corner of Walsh and Case. This
was followed a second after by all alarm
from Box 227. situated few blocks
away. One minute after an alarm came
in from Box lis, at the corner of Win

trict. The department were of opinion
that two fires were in progress, but the
apparatus and companies which went
to Box lis could find no trace of fire.
1t was evident that some one had seen
the blaze of the fire which occurred in
the other district, three miles away,
and, thinking it was near, had pulled
the box. The real seat of the fire was
at 7S2 Hawthorne avenue, a two-story
frame dwelling house, owned by James
Feise. The house was empty, and it is
supposed that tramps had set it on fire.
1t was damaged to the extent of 81, 900.

horse apiece. These outfits ali hear a
family resemblance. You can grade a
ragman's prosperity by the appearance
of his horse. If the horse be iong-eared,
lame and so thin that his bones rattle
when he runs, then is he a veteran in the
work. and for many years has he served
faithfully while his master drove sharp
bargains and laid by many shekels from
the trade OF rags. But if the horse
looks as if he got square feed occa-
Sionaily, then is his master, new in the
business and not yet we'll yersed iD its
ways.
Some housekeepers have a grudge
against the rag man because he has
habit OF locking through the sheds or
back yards and making his selection
without troubling the housewife with
needless questions. He occasionally
takes a stray carpet or coat that was ia
tended to be used again. Some people
are so harsh as to call this stealing. but
think it proceeds from high-bred de-
sire to save the heusekeeper trouble,
and the little mistakes that occur arse
from a lack of knowledge in the mind
of the rag picker.
l was told that little children make
business of picking rags among the
alleys and courts in the business portion
of the city. The dealers, however. SOL
