quarter of an hour to pass down the stream, extending over a mile along its course.
 The people of Springfield, Massachu- setts, want a trade school. The opportu- nifty which they hope to improve is given by the willingness of company now man. ufacturing electric motors in Brooklyn to transfer its works to some place where the conditions of labor are more satisfactory. The officers of the Christian Industrial and Technical school, which has been trying to carry out system of manual training, has invited the company to occupy the Bullard arms works building controlled by the school, on condition of employing in its works as learners certain number of pupils of the Springfield public schools who will work half the day, attending school the other half. They will be em- ployed in actual commercial production while learning the machinist's trade, so far as it can be learned by assisting in the construction of electric motors.
 What was probably the maiden speech of the present emperor of Germany oc- cured in 1880 at Koenigsberg, the occa- sion being a banquet rendered to Freder- rick, then crown prince, and his son Prince William. The crown prince sat at the head of the table, pipe in mouth and big bumper of claret in front of him, to all seeming enjoying himself to his hearts content. He showed no particular inclin- ation to talk-a fact which seemed to have restless effect upon his son, for the young prince suddenly got up, bowed to his father, and launched out in passionate verbiage on the duties of soldier and the glories of the fatherland The crown prince at first looked astonished, and then a smile of satisfaction wreathed itself amid puffs of his pipe. and, turning to an officer who sat by his side, he said: ''Well, William is not quite his mothers boy, but he suits his father to perfection"

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.
 Any intelligent effort to improve munic- ipal government is worth attention. The Boston Citizens association has been studying the question for a year and has arrived at some important conclusions. It is recommended that the mayor be elected for a term of three years, thus giving the central authority of the city time in which to master the large interests committed to his care without being obliged to worry about reelection or being diverted by the petty issues of municipal politics. Then it is advised that all the departments con- nected with engineering work be reorgan- ized under central authority in a way to prevent the wasteful complication of func- tions by the duplication of effort, the null tiplication of offices and loss through too many purchasing agencies. They would have chief of engineers who not only takes the powers now exercised by the city en- gineer, but should be in charge of the de- partments on highways, water, sewers and parks, and the purchase of supplies. This chief is to appoint four resident engineers to be in charge of the departments men, toned above. who must make full month ly reports. Then a commissioner of SUD- plies would purchase materials for all the departments, this official and the chief of engineers to be appointed by the mayor in dependently of the city council. Such are the main features of voluminous report, which deals exhaustively with details, and concludes that by the adoption of this de- parture Boston could make a net annual saving of $445, ,0O0.
 This is in the right direction. More sim plicity, more business and less politics are greatly needed in municipal government.

HOMES FoR THE POOR.


 The Tenement House Building company of New York, of which MT. Oswald Otten- dorfer is president, and Professor Felix Adler, Max Nathan, H. O. Havemeyer and other we'll known gentlemen are directors, has made valuable contribution to the The six model Cherry street houses of the Tenement House society are now in the third year of occupancy, and the net revenue from them, after all taxes, insur- ance, interest and maintenance charges are met, will be fnlly 48 per cent of their cost. Upon this state of facts, the issue to ten ants of certificates of interest in the re- serve fund, made from the earnings in excess of 4 per cent on the capital, will begin. These certificates may be used in payment of rent, and are to the tenant a guarantee to that amount against eviction or disaster conse- quent upon loss of earnings through ill- ness, age, lack of employment or other inability to provide for the necessaries of life. The tenants also have the option to reinvest their reserve certificates in the capital of the company. These facts, taken into consideration with the others, that the cost of the "model' homes was almost double that of the "approved' tenements permitted by the New York building laws, and their rental capacity, by reason of large courts and wide en- l-;a fr,11 lace daDpOnstrafa fa that the real obstacle to healthful and wholesome homes for the poor is only and solely in the avarice of the landlords, who will not be satisfied with less than 10 or 12 per cent, or double the rate the law allows.

ONE KISS BEFORE PARTING.
The Request of a Marchioness As
 tonfshed a Young Shepman.

The Request of Marchioness As
 tonfshed a Young Shepman.
 From the Sheffield Telegraph
 lady of fashion had been lettering for nearly an hour in & fashionable music shop recently. She had purchased copy of neatly every piece of music that had sentimental title, and had sent out to her carriage whole portmanteau full of 'love"-going through every mood of the feeling, past, present or future-and was following their example when she paused upon the step as if meditating whether she should take it or some other step that was evidently turning itself over in her mind.
 The shopman, who had been somewhat moved by the tender tone of voice in which she had asked him, ''Wilt thou love me then as nowi" watched her with an anxiety that betrayed itself too plainly in the adjustment of his shirt collar and the arrangement of his hair. Suddenly the lady seemed resolved, as with one bound she cleared the pavement, and, breathless, pale, her auburn ringlets fiuttering in the | wind, stood once more before the admiring shopman.
 ''I had nearly forgotten" she said, in a | voice that seemed to veil her blushing words; ''dearl dear. I cannot tell where my head is today come back to ask you if by chance"-here she paused, as if to take new courage, while the trembling | shopman posted his two thumbs elegantly on the mahogany counter and leant his body inquiringly forward-'to ask you to be kind enough to give me one kiss before parting"
 ''M-a a-a-d-a-m!" exclaimed the aston ished shopman.
 'I want you," repeated the marchion- ess, Ito let me have one kiss before part ing-one will do, if you please"
 She raised her beautiful blue eyes full upon his, and met them boldly and un- blushingly. She then, without betraying any emotion, repeated her question, add | ing, as calmly as possibly, ''If you cannot give it to me now I will call some other | time"
 He could doubt no longer. Springine over the counter, he sci zed hold of thu lady's fair form and then and there gave the kiss she so earnestly begged for previ ous to departure. To his great astonish ment, the only return the lady gave was box on the ears. This was followed by ( volley of blows dealt by her parasol ovel the head, which was accompanied with al equal number of shrieks, that never ter minated till the police came into the shop
 The affair was carried to the nearest DO lice court, but was soon dismissed upoI it's being explained that "One Kiss Befor Parting" was the name of a song whicl the unsophisticated shopman, blissfull, green from his native fields, had neve heard of before.

The Fashions.

From the New York Evening Post.l
 The imported models for summer dress es en princesse are so transformed by their new draperies and novel adjustments as to almost lose their identity.
 The elegant Louis Quatorze coats of sat in brocade in gray and gold, reseda and li- lac, silver and heliotrope, etc., are finished with vests of embroidered crepe de Chine. They fit like a deep bodice in the back, and they have full moderately high sleeves, finished at the nec ok and wrists with rich garniture of jeweled galloon.
 Pompadour Siciliennes of delicate quail ty and gay colorings are shown in lowered stripes for making entire costumes with shapely coat basques, or cut in princesse form with Marie Antoinette paniers, ruch- es, rose pleatings, festooned laces, or in great double choux or cabbage-rose pleat- ings of the same fabric. These Siciliennes have stripes on @ cream ground strewn with trailing vines and flowers in their natural hues alternating with plain stripes of Dresden china blue, Dubarry rose, mauve, or the soft creamy yellow of French porcelains.
 Surplice waists of dainty hot-weather textiles are made with their front edges straight from the shoulder to the belt, edged with real Valenciennes lace frill, and crossed at the waist line. This leaves @ V space at the top, which is filled with @ small chemisette of Valenciennes net, with 6 deep revers collar of the same, edged with lace, which is first sewed to a very narrow standing.band of the dress fabric.

 Postmaster General Wanamaker's testi- mony concerning his connection with the Keystone bank was great disappointment to his enemies and the enemies of the ad- ministration.
 It is announced that if girl will wear yellow garter on her left leg she will soon be married. If she will wear the yell low garter on her right leg after she is married probably she can soon get a divorce and be happy.
 Scarpology, or the science of telling the character of @ man by the wear of the soles of his boots, has been sttentively studied by Swiss doctor of the name of Galli. Speaking briefly, wear at the back of the heels invariably indicates conceit, pride, and vanity. Soles worn toward the toes demonstrate deceit, and even crimin- ality, while sole that shows an equal amount of wear on every part of the sur face denotes frank, upright, and fearless character.
 The establishment of @ distillery upon the river Treweryn turns out to have been great benefit to fish. The mixture of barley and hot water, writes core spondent of the London Field, which the distillery disgorges at regular intervals, has decidedly improved the size and qual- | ity of the fish. The same correspondent says that in the Dee and Don, and other rivers in Scotland, the same change is effected upon the salmon, through the presence of distilleries.

have attracted much moro attention than
itprobably did. However, it will keep
1T will attract in the end more notice than
any dozen other paragraphs in the papers
OF yesterday. The little paragraph was
one concerning the Supreme Court of Az.
peals Of Virginia and reads a. follows:
Norfolk and Western Railroad Comnanv
against the Commonwealth. Writ OF error from
Pulaski county. Judgment reversed; opinion
by Judge Lewis: Judge Lacy dissenting. This
case Involves the question as TO whether a rail.
road company may be- prohibited by the laws Of
Virginia from running freight trains ON sunday
Under the above decision such prohibitory law
e void.
The Sunday question, in other words
has appeared IN new form. We take il
that the decision in question was based
upon Article l.. section s, Of the Federal
Constitution, which provides that Congress
mot the State Legislstures) shall have
power 10 regulate commerce among the
several States. II will be seen that the
court confines it's decision 20 freight
trains" Fer this reason we infer that ths
decision wss based upon the section just
mentioned. IL it had included passenger
trains IT might have been based upon
Article /. Of amendments TO the Federal
Constitution, which provides as follows;
"Congress shall make no Law respecting an
establishment Of religion, prohibiting the free
exercise theroof.'
