Con .iuctor Cured of Flirting,

\ respectable Young woman often
happened to get on a ear on which was
a very gallant conductor, who always
made some remark to her about the
weather. One morning she took the car
to come to the city The conductor
was unusually friendly. and asked her
if she would go to the theater with
him that night The young woman
could hardly believe her ears, but re-
piled: "Ch, YES, with pleasure. The
conductor then appointed meeting
place near one of the city theaters.
When the young woman's brother
came home in the evening she told
him, and she suggested that he dress
in her clothing and meet the conductor
The brother ac4 c4uiesced, kept the APP
pointment, and was met by the gallant
conductor with expressions of the
greatest JOY. They then went to the
theater The conductor bought two of
the best seats in the house. AS soon
they We're seated the conductor wanted
to know what made his companion so
quiet, and implored her to take off her
veil. The bashful person at last did
take off the veil, and disclosed very
masculine vi>age. I'll have you ar
rested" painted the conductor, and,
leaving the theater, he sought the aid
of police, but was only laughed at

The People Mean BUSINESS.

The masses of the people, those who
live by toll, are not looking and do not
care for any fine spun, religious or pOliti-
cal theories. What they want is some
thing practical. The man or woman
working twelve or sixteen hours a day
wants those hours of labor shortened.
right now, and not after they are dead.
The starving person wants square
meal, right now; rot after starvation has
furnished him or her with Il passport to
the potter's field. The girl or woman
driven by low wages or no wages at all
to sell her body for bread wants a chance
to earn all honest living right now: not
after She has become degraded in body
mind and soul, an outcaSt, loathSome
and diseased, dying in Il hospital,
When misery is crushing life out of peo-
pie. We have no time to waste in elabOr-
ating theories that it will take genera
tionS to develop. Relieve the immediate
wants Of the sufferers around you. Let
the state see that every man and woman
has az opportunity To earn by honest la
bor the comforts of life. Let the money
spent in the United States each year in
charity or in the building and sustaining
of iaiiS, prisons. aSylums, poor houses,
etc, be spent in furnishing honest en-
pioyment at rentimeratiVe wages to all
who are willing to work. and the vice,
ana crime and pauperism that society
has to deal with now could be reduced to
80 cents in 4 single year. Give rs more
producers and less sponges. Put indus

bench in Battery Park looking fiXedly at
lone man who occupied bench On the
other side of the walk. and when it had
continued for seven or eight minutes.
and the man had seemingly fallen asleep,
he beckoncd to one of the five and
asked:
"What is wrong about that man over
therc?"
"EIes trying to blk the crowd"
"DO you know him?"
"No"
"What's his game? If he isn't right
why don't you call an oficer?"
"Why, it's just here. He chews to-
bacco So do all of us. He wants a
chew the worst way, but he's afraid tn
take out his plug for fear we'll ask for a
nip, which. of course, We should do, not
having any ourselves.
"But why doesn't he walk away and
take his chew?"

"Well, he's gone to sleep"
"All put on. sir. He's only pretend

Says Western lumberman: THE

as reminder that the fear of American
forests giving out is far from being an
imaginary one. have been handling
lumber by the 10, 900 feet for two thirds
of lifetime, but the figures in this
deal took me by surprise, and it was
some time before I could realize them
The supply of lumber in the North is
steadily giving out, as the figures for
Michigan in particular show. Ten
years ago the annual output or product
was just about the size of the great
Minnesota contract Just signed, for sin
gle companies, br the aggregate totals
for 1890 barely II ached these figures.
We are lavish and extravagant with our

Birth of q Bison.

The female bison at the Geological
Gardens has just given birth to a fine
calf. This is a matter for some rejoic-
ing. since the American bison is getting
very rare. 1t is even now as rare. or
nearly SO, as its European relative, the
aurochs, and Not so very long ago it was
abundant on the pains of North
America. The calf is reddish brown
color. like the calf of an ordinary domes-
tic COW, and not bit like its black,
shaggy mother.
If the theory is true that every shade
and variety of color has its meaning, this
fact is very extraordinary II the colors
of the adult bison have relation to its
usual surroundings. why should the
calf be ,olored differently? One would
have thought that what was sauce for
the goose was also sauce for the gOsling.
1t has, however, been suggested that
such differences between the parents
and their offspring are to facilitate
recognition, and it is noticeable that the
young of many animals are, as in this
case, more brightly colored than their
parents, and. therefore. more cOnspicu-

About Easter.

Easter this year comes on March 20.
The earliest and latest dates upon
which Easter can fall are March ~ and
April 25. In 1856 Easter fell upon its
latest date, which had not occurred be-
fore in the nineteenth century, and will
not occur again until l943 The last
time Easter fell upon its earliest date,
the 22d of March, was in 1918, and this
will not happen again in this century
nor in the next
On turning back to previous centuries
we find that such a late date as April IS
for Easter Sunday has occurred once
every hundred years, with one exception
that is, in 1874, 1866, 1916, 1451, 1924,
1109, 101i and 9l9.
The earliest day for Easter occurred
In 1861, 1858, 1898, 1873, 1873. 1893,
1l46, 1O41 and 946. This time the thir-
teenth century is passed over instead Of
the fourteenth.
In the remaining years of this century
Easter will come on the following dates:
1892, April II; 1898, April ,: 1894, March
25; 1895, April IA; 1896, April 5; 1897,
April IS; 1878, April 10; 1899, April .;

Bankers Don't Want Financial Legislation

Comptroller of Currency Lacey, in the
Imericdn Banker, said:
"Generally speaking, business for the
year Just ended has been remarkably
good. To be sure. there have been a
few failures reported, but they have
been of d providcntial character-that is,
they can not be prevented and have
been of incalculable benefit. Indications
point to marked improvement of
business i'll every quarter, and
money is not tight in any sense, 50 far
as. am able to ascertain. As far as
can judge, there seems to be no immedi-
ate necessity for any financial legislation
by congress. for all that can be done has
been carried out to the letter, and all
fears of a panic have subsidized in the
east as well as in the west.
This man Lacy regards the sufferings
inflicted by an artificial money famine
as wholly providential. That is, God,
and not congress. is responsible for them.
and so far from having any sympathy
for the mortgage evictcd, he says the
theft of their estates and business has
been of incalculable benefit, He makes
God a monster and shows himself to be q
deyil.-tO,rd Trib,us.

Never Speaks to the Groom.

Between the coachman ard the groom
there exists chasm in the social regime
of the department of the back stairs as
wide as is the gulf between 400 and 4O1.
With the footman it is different. The
latter is house servant-the especial
eQuerry of his mistress. The footnan
never joins the coachman OF the front
seat unless his mistress rides within.
One of his duties, in fact, is to take her
ladyship's orders and issue them to his
companion who holds the reins. His
wages will rate almost with the coach
mans. The latter may converse in a
guarded way with the footman; with the
groOm-neyer. He orders that worthy
to alight and open the door with an air
of immense superiority. AS for hack
men and cab drivers-for their lack Of
style in driving, for their want OF finesse
In personal appearance, and compnra-
lively dilapidated ensemble. he can only
assume an air of lofty Indifference and
unapproachable severity.

No MATTER what we may think as to
the complete success Of labor movements,
acting as independent factors among tho
laborng people. of one thing we may be
sure, the past regime and condition of
things relating to methods and action is
gone. The fe,ldal castle and all it's COM
plications is diSmantled. and the distance
between classes greatly reduced. Now
the laboring people have arisen to
higher. more intelligent and self-assured
conditions, they have begun to think, tc
ask for reasons for what they do. and suf-
fer, and believe. They have SO advanced,
they call the past to account. They find
the old spells broken and old reliances
out of the way. And SO we see they can
no longer be kept down by pagcantry,

Money for Pri onS, but No Sites.

A piece of imperfect legislation enact
ed by the late Congress in its closing
hours has come to light. The discovery
was made that the act approved March
3, providing for the erection of three
United States prisons and the coniine-
ment therein of United States conv:cts,
is rendered absolutely imperative for
the purposes intended through a blunder
In drawing the bill. Its intention was
to authorize the Attorney General and
Secretary of the Interior to purchase
three sites and cause to lie erected on
them suitable prisons for the incarcera-
tion of United States prisoners convicted
Of crimes by any courts under the juris-
diction of the department of justice.
Not cent, however, is appropriated for
the purchase of sites, and the entire law
q therefore useless

IT is with the most sincere regret that
hundreds of earnest republicans are
obliged i'll their honesty to admit the
truth of the following from the atlanta
Constitution: This organization has
gradually become the aggressive repre-
sentative of the political. economic and
social theories advocated by Alexander
Hamilton. In a word. the central idea
of repubiicanism is that this is rich
mans government, in which the poor
should have no rights and no voice.
With the rapid growth of great fortunes
in this country a few privileged classes,
held together by the cohesive greed Of
capital, have combined and Ilotted to
turn the republic into plutocracy. In
their eyes the masses are simply 50 much
material for the tax and tariff mills to
grind into powder"

preachers. One of these things is that
system of legislation which has permitted

preachers. One OF these things is THAI
system of legislation which has permitted
the robbery of Gods poor of their inheri-
tance in the land and of the profits OF
their labor. The Statesman has been
listening to sermons for more than two
score years and it has never heard one
on the subject of usury. The bible
abounds with Commands and declara-
tions on this subject. usury is as much
Il crime aud sin to-day as it was when
God, through law makers and prophets,
forbade its practice among his people.
But the usurcr i'll the church to-day lis
tens complacently to the picture of other
sinners aud slniles at the ease of his
place in Zion.
But we do not despair. Preachers
may be slow to learn, but they are learn
ing that there is something outside Of
theology which is worth studying. There
is Il practical side of life that ministers
unto Righteousness. The number of va
cant churches on the one hand and the
unemployed preachers on the othe: is Il
sign Of the times which should arrest at
tention. Here are people anxious to
hear the word of God every Sunday. and
teachers anxious to tell it to them.
What keeps them apart? Poverty on
the one hand and my salary on the
