Kicking at the streets.
EDrroR LIeHT:

AA'llOA
want to say few words in reference
to the fearful condition of our most
travelled and best business streets. The
right of way seems to have been given
exclusively to the street car companies To
obstruct the entire street with their
tracks, which are so high above the level
or grade that they are great damage to
vehicles and dangerous to life. Who Is
responsible for these dangerous obstruc-
tionS? Is ii the city fathers who are Civ
ing these people the right to tear up
smooth streets and leave them in con-
dition far more dangerous and
worse to travel than they were
in the days of the black mud and
clouds of black dust? Surely we could
travel in safety with now and then bog
up in which no material damage occurred.
am not "moSS back" but / fail to see
what right the railway companies have
in tearing up our streets, and leaving
them in such bad condition. / think that
our city dads are at fault for allowing
anything so fragrant and unjust toward
people who ride in private conveyances.
win some one explain why things are
thus? H. M.

Written for Her.

Miss Lillian Lewis appears tomorrow
night in her new play, 'Credit Lorraine, u
at the Grand opera house. Credit Lor-
raine' was written for Miss Lewis. 1t is
founded on the intrigues of a French
court. 1t possesses many striking quail
ties and unusually strong climaXes. The
dialogue is bright and sparkling, and the
plot is unfolded III such a manner, that
interest becomes more intensified each act
and is only satisfied when the heroine,
made insane by her many trials, dies a
tragic death.
Miss Lewis has been seen in this city
several times before She is a cOnscen-
tiOus and painstaking actress. Since her
last appearance here she has been in
Europe and, no doubt, profited by what
she saw and experienced in the old world.
She has grown stouter but is still re-
markably handsome woman. The four
costumes she wears are marvelS of the
modiste'S art. They are new and original
and will be very much admired. Miss
Lewis portrayal of her different charac-
tiers was simply perfect. She was up to
all of its requirements, the role being one
which calls upon all phases of woman's
nature.

HALLOWEEN.
The Old Custom-AH Saints and All
Souls Day.

Today is the anniversary of the time
honored custom of celebrating HallOw zen
or the eve of All Saints Day, or All Hal
lows Day. In England it was long GUS
tomary to crack nuts, bob for apples in a
tub of water, and other tireside revelrieS.
In Scotland the ceremony is celebrated
more superstitiously and from this can
nv" race we get the custom of seek
ing to peer in the future for
ones future life partner, by eating an
apple, or egg full of salt before a mirror
at the hour of midnight, etc. Bobbie
Burns poem on the subject is favorite
for young devotees of this old day, and
in it he has fully pictured the delights of
the rustic in love trials, and the mischief
maker, etc. Practical jokes may be ram
pant in this city tonight, and may not be-
Onr staid American ways, our police and
our ordinances will probably prevent
much of the toughest kind of Hal
iOw'een joking.
Tomorrow is all Saints Day, and this
will be observed by Catholic and Episco-
palians with due Solemnity. 1t is COM
memorative of the souls of all saints,
without reference to the church calendar,
and on that day prayers for the spiritual
welfare of all departed faithful may be
offered. The day was first regularly
ordained by Pope Gregory ", and
November 1st was chosen because the eve
of this day was long known as one of the
four greatfestivals of the year, February
!, May l., August and November l, of
the heather nations. The church sup
planted heather celebration by the re-
iigious ones, according to its regular
policy.
Sunday is All Souls Day. very solemn
festival of the year.

The Sun says that during the past few
days rumors 70 tho above effect have been
aaoat In Wall Street, but have been care
fully confined to a few principal bankers
and ilnanclers who have taken extraordi'
nary precautions TO prevent the reports
from getting beyond their own little cir
Gle. The article continues:
Within the past few months, or per-
hapa longer, II has been noticed by bank
ers and other men who have 10 do with
money IN the portions of fthe United States
contiguous 10 Mexico, that there has been
an unwontedly large number OF United
States silver dollars In circulation. This
fact has been noted by bankers In Texas,
New Mexico and Arizona. AssoOn as at
tentlon was called 10 II the bankers natur-
ally began to speculatcas to the causes Of
IL and TO attempt to lay Il 10 back pay
ments made In silver dollars. Certain Il
was that the coins could not have shipped
from she United States coinage mnts
without the knowledge Of the local banks
In Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.
II WAS found that many Of these coins
could be traced TO Mexlcans living across
the border, who had given them In OK
change for commodities purchased in
this country. Then arose the question,
where did there MexIcans gctthere Uni
ted States silver dollars In such large
quantitlesY Then began a regular lnycstl-
CATION, which led TO the disclosure OF
many suspicious circumstances toosmall
to be noticed by themselves, but giving
significant links in a chain Of evidence
pointing to one Of the most remarkable
international crimes, II such II may term
ed, that the world has ever known.
This Is the conclusion which the hank
ors in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona
have arrived at, that band Of Mexicona
calling themselves "prlvate bank," have
been issuing United States silver dollars
and utterlng them to Mexlcans; who gave
them IN return for goods purchased on
this side Of the border Perhaps there Is
more than one Of these lnstltutsons, per-
haps half dozen. The gentlemen who
are investigating this gigantic plot, II
such IL is proved to be, are Of the opinion
deducted from many minor data, that the
wholesale counterGtlng has been going
on for two or three years, and that at
least 100000 counterft dollars have been
thus foisted upon the citizens OF this
country by the keen witted Mexicans.
How the dollars are uttered the inves-
tlgators do not know. IL is possible that
the "private banks" or Mexican coiners
of the United States money, utter the
coins directly through their own employ
es to the people across the border Of the
United States. In that way they would
secure to themselves the whole Of the
profit of about 20 cents on each coin.
And this idea seems much the moro
plausible. They utter the coins to Mcxl-
cans at compromise value, something be-
tween 70 and 81. The Mexlcans who
thus assume n risk In connection with
passing the dollars, although 1t Is small
risk, get their coin for less than 81 in
consequence of that risk.
