A WORD TO THE MAYoR.-The Mayor OF
this town hasn't the decency OF woli nor
tbe dignity OF a monkey. He has been
drunk at least three times week TOT the
last month, and he would as soon pull hsir
with a half-breed as TO argue with gentle;
man. We've got tired of his capers ana
we now give him due notice that unless he
comes to a right-about face we'll give hlm
dead away and rid the community OF MS
presence. An individual about his size is
wanted in one of the eastern States for COW
stealing, and while we don't want TO be
pizen mean we owe duty to this commu-
nity. We have got our eyes on the Mayor
STAND Up, Tom HARTwELL.-Iom Hart
well. city marshal, you were appointed as
a guardian of the peace. How have you
fulfilled your missiOnY On numerous oc-
casions within the last three months you
have been drunk, and you can be found IN
a saloon offtener than on the streets, You
have set bad example all around, and
the idea that you are guardian over
ANYTHING except a whiskey jug makes
us laugh. The Kicker has given you
a fair show, but you would not i'm,
prove it. Open your ears now, Thomas
If YOU don't resign or brace up the boys
will be on you within the next fortnight,
and when they do so it will be too late for
anv excuses. You'll be taken out and
made pendulum of. and the grave will be
shallow and the obsequies mighty briet.
If YOU want TO Gull the wild cactus when
the spring-tlme comes again, Thomas, we
have pointed out the way. If you don
the boys will Gull you.

wHAr ENeLIsHwoMEN WEAR.
Shorter Dresses, Pointed Shoes, and Deli
cate SILK Stockings.
landau Tfmas

II is stated on excellent authority that
Fnglishwomen intend to wear shorter
dresses next season than any that have
been in fashion for some time. Hitherto
reproaches have been hurled by Continen-
tai sisters at the heads and feet of femi-
nine England. The emancipation of the
former having been satisfactorily accom-
plished our ladies intend that the latter
shall also be given fair chance of holding
their own, consequently much attention IS
TO be devoted to their dainty and becoming
incasement.
Pointed toes will not 60 out, though
square toes will come ina sensible COM
promise by which two separate styles of
feet can be suitably fitted. Boots will be
built higher than heretofore and will be
laced inside the buttoning to secure neat
ness of ft round the ankles. Shoes, how
ever, will be much more worn than boots.
Our climate is fatal in a short time to the
appearance of what are technically known
as fancy shoes for outdoor wear. The
newest are made with high tongue over
the instep.
A buckle, which may be as antique,
handsome, and as costly as possible, IS
placed on a strap which buttons across be-
low the instep. Other shoes are cut quite
low at the toe and are secured to the foot
by single strap. With all these, it is
almost needless to add, the prettiest and
most delicate silk stocking will be worn to
match the costume.

Authoritative Seal.

Seals occasionally paddle into New York
bay and up through the Narrows to take a
look at the great city Of New York, but IL
is an uncommon thing for them to climb
out OF the water TO get land view. says
the Times. Those that prove themselves
exceptions to this rule generally come to
grief. A big fellow, four feet six inches in
length and thirty-eight inches bust mea-
sure, started on Saturday on land-ex-
ploring expedition near Folt Wadsworth:
It had not made much progress inland
before q Staten-Island youth, Albert
Nichols, caught sight OF it, and as
Albert was much swifter of foot
than the seal was of fn-at least on land
he soon came up with it. For q fourteen
year-old boy to capture alive o seal nearly
as tall as himself is no light task. Albert
believes. however, that he would have
succeeded had not boatman, William
Giles, believed otherwise. Giles went for
an axe, and when he found one smashed in
the seals skull so that it died with that
look of forgiveness in its large, mournful
ewes that all seals assume when being per-
secuted by cruel man. The body Of the
unfortunate explorer was put on exhibition
at the quarantine dock, and its skin viii be
preserved by Albert as q trophy.

GIANT POLICEMAN.
Rube Burrows's Seven-Foot Cousin Is on
the Macon Police Force.

the Macon Police force.
The Macon police force received an addi-
tion Yesterday, says the Telegraph. Ills
name is Burrows; he IS cousin OF the
daring but deceased Rube, and he mea-
sures lust six feet eight and one half inches
high in his stocking feet.
1'he Mayor was sitting quietly in the
statesmanlike solitude of his office when
the new applicant doomed up before him.
The stranger said he was from North Caro-:
lima. from Rutherfordton, and by way OF
explanation he said Rutherfordton was a
great place for giants that men as tall as
he was grew about there promiscuously.
He had been a supernumerary on the po-
lice fierce of Americas. and later had been
1agman on the East Tennessee road, be-
cause he could signal train from any DIS
lance. as there wasn't cut on the road
deep enough to hide him. lie quit the
road because of its dangers. He had to
stand on the top of cars because he was
too high to stand inside, and when he
stood outside he was in danger OF being
knocked off by overhead bridges.
The Mayor at first thought Of giving the
giant a place in the fire department, where
he would be able to put the hose into Sc
cond-story window without the aid OF
ladder, but he finally appointed him a
supernumerary policeman, and his measure
was promptly taken for uniform. When
he appears on the street he will overawe
the natives, looming head and shoulders
above any other member of the force.
Already he has been dubbed THE Giant, "
and that name will probably cling to him.
City-Clerk Bridges Smith is six feet high,
but when the new appointee stood by his
side he looked down smilingly, and, said :
why, / can lick salt off your head.
While the tall stranger was making his APP.
plication to the Mayor another man of
ordinary stature, also an applicant, was
waiting his turn. When he was told that
Burrows had been given the only vacancy,
he said complacently: well, Pm salts
fed: be oughter had it. I've got nothing
more to saw"

BANK NOTES AND INJECTION.
How Paper Money Becomes the Vehicle of
ContagiOn.

LONDON OlOUc.

Passing from hand to hand among all
classes Of the people it would be strange
indeed, says the Lancet If money, and
especially paper money, did not In its
transit become from time 10 time the vehi-
Gle Of infectious disease. Even the crisp
"fiyern Of the Bank of England no doubt
has often borne the germs Of fever in its
folds, and how much more, then, the
greasy, discolored. and wellthumbed one
pound note. or the paper fraction OF some
foreign cuTreneies! Higher values have
here distinct advantage. Less common,
less in keeping of the oveforowded poor,
less handled and soiled, therefore they
NAV perhaps in many cases run their cir
cult without having done much mischief.
There are, indeed, preventative circum-
stances which guardthe SANITARY credit OF
AL paper currency. One is the very free
dom OF circulation and the ventilation this
insures. Smoothness of surface Is another,
and a third. which operates ia minor
degree. is found in the fact that adults-not
children--are chiefly concerned IN the bust
ness Of exchange. These qualifications
may suffice 10 Justify, at least by. mega
tive verdict, the employment OF paper
money from q sanitary standpoint.
Still certain risk remains, and careful
persons will do we'll 20 note this and on
occasion 70 disinfect even their bank-notes.
The danger. such as il is. should also, In
our opinion. be allowed some weight IN de-
Gliding the question whether small-note
currency, hitherto not found TO be indis-
pensable. should or should not be generally
adopted.

Besides these different sums, Baron de
Hirsch has just given 1900, 600 francs for
Galician schools. This latter gift probably
gave rise to the erroneous statements
which appeared in the papers that he had
given the said sum a second time to the
limited States. whereas he simply handed
over to the American trustees the capital
of his former gift.
