to their counters a great throng OF
buyers. The ruling prices are not, OF
course, the prices of the true retail sea-
son. Bargain and bargains rates arc the
order of the day. But the goods are
still disposed of at figures which
leave fair margins of profit, and by
the time their shelves are cleared off,
the business community-or at least
the enterprising part of twill find
the winter campaign has been a very
successful one. 1t is a matter of cur
rent comment that the New York dry
goods and clothing stores are more
crowded this month than they were
in the early part of December. 1t is
probable that the season having set
in late will also close late, and the lull
between the winter and spring bust
ness will be shorter than usual.

THE Hoboken police ought to make
Mrs. Charles Smith and Miss Klees
very sorry that they did not avenge
their wrongs according to law instead
of with a cowhide. A woman is
always in the wrong when she takes

more out of place in her hands than
the pistol. She unsexes herself and
disgraces herself every time she re-
sorts to physical force, which is the
peculiar property of masculinity.

The New York Exchange for Wom-
ans work has been in existence eleven
years and its growth aud prosperity
have been steady and continued. 1t
is the pioneer of such enterprises, and
not only has it become successful it
self, but can now count up sixty-four
exchanges in different parts of this
country and Canada which have been
modelled after it and have started out
with the same bylaws.
The object OF the exchange has been
from the first to aid Impoverished
gentlewomen, who through misfor-
tune have been obliged to become
bread winners. There are now 3,200
names Of consignors enrolled on it's
books, and it mas paid out to these
c~onsignors, whose numbers steadily
increase, almost a million dollars, be-
sides the salaries paid to its employees
at it's rooms, No. 800 Fifth avenue.
There are now fifteen gentlewomen'
employed at the rooms, and these re-
ceive better salariesaand better treat
ment than women in similar positions
in the. city shops. Theehoufs OF work
are the same, but the conditions are
infinitely better, and each one is given

the exchange conducts its business on

is not wholly self supporting. The

Two Di1emmas with Four Horns
Mr. Gummere's Little Argument.
Barker Gummere in his argument
of the Morris and Essex tax case be-
fore tine arbitrators, has succeeded in
putting the Company between the
four horns of two uncomfortable
dilemmas. There is a time when the
State can take the Company's prop
erty at s'cost." 1t is taxed at cost"
If the Company insists in scaling
down its cost to avoid taxes, it fol-
lows as a matter of course that when
the State comes to buy it the price at
which the StateO may enter into
possession will be so much the
less. That's one of the dilem-
mas. Yesterday he presented an
other.
When the Company had to
pay taxes, when it began to carr
even per cent profit everything was
piled into cost account, SO as to keep
the profit below even per cent and
defeat the collection Of any taxes by
the State. When, in 1865, the com
pany was directed to pay its taxes,
without regard to it's earnings, every
thing was taken out of the cost ac-
count, which was taxable. and went
into other accounts which we're not
taxable. The logic of this is that if
the company had followed after it's
1854 rule it's earnings would have
been yer v per cent in
some years when they fell below it,
and so it would seem to owe the State
for taxes in years when this compila-
tion of accounts enabled it to escape
them.
If on the other hand, it fol-
lowed the proper rule before 1885 in
making up the cost of the road, then
it should have paid tax to the State
on a larger basis of cost than that
which its reports showed. Turn it
which way it will, the company can
scarcely escape admitting an unliqui-
dated debt to the State.

What Children study.
Jessie asked me to hear her lesson
last night, and it made me SO sorry for

had committed it every word SO as to
please her teacher and get a good
mark. Here are q few specimens OF
the answers to the questions IN the
grammar !.

The cognate or equivalent noun is
often omitted and a neuter ~ad]ective

The complementary infinitlve is an
accusative of direct object or ilmlta-

The infinitive passive Of an intran-

The complement of a concess1ve

Professional Pricers.

Quite peculiar are the clever men
and women who are known as ''pri-
cers.' and who are employed by the
proprietors of the great shopping
stores to. learn the prices at which
their competitors are offering goods.
These ''pricersn must be very talented,
experienced and j%udicious specialists.
They must be able to judge of the
quality and brand of an article, as
well as to discover its selling price.
They must hide their business from
those they spy upon as carefully and
ingeniously as a detective works
among criminals. They must pretend
to be shoppers, messengers from in
valids wanting samples, eccentric
ladies who scarcely know what they
want, and so ask about many things.
They must in some cases work in one
great store and draw salaries from
two, the second salary being their pay
for acquainting a rival with their en-
blowers business .-HG7pef'S WeehIy.

School No. rs Entertainment in Aid of
Its Library FUND
An excellent entertainment in aid of
the library fund of Public School No. Z
was given at Kessler's Hall last evening
to q large audience. The school boys in
the galleries gave vent to their delight
and enthusiasm by stamping in unison to
whistling accompaniment whenever the
curtain was down, and that was the only
unpleasant feature of the affair. The
entertainment was managed by Principal
A. B. Guilford, aided by the teachers of
the grammar department.
The marching and semi-military drills,
by a large number of girls attired in
white, were almost perfect in their rem
dition, and the pretty spectacle presented
ELECTED merited applause and encorer.
The feature of the first part was the illus
tratiou by tableaux of the poem
'sEyangeline." Miss Josie Simpson read
the poem excellently, but not sufficiently
loud to be heard by all the audience. The
tableaux presented in character were
simply beautiful. The entire entertain
ment reflected credit upon teachers and
pupils aud gratified all who witnessed it.
