PATCHOGUE LACE,


 Those who have laughed or sneered at the Mckinley bill will feel like taking back seats when they learn that it will make manufacturing town out of Patchogue. Patchogue has hitherto been noted for it's name, it's clans and oysters, and the But there is to be change. Machinery to the value of $50,000 has arrived there. This machinery has been brought from Nottingham, England, Q city which has become famous for making lace. This article was first produced there by machin cry, but since the passage of the Me Kinley bill the conditions of trade with this country have been changed, and Not tingham manufacturers are coming over here to establish themselves. It is said that two hundred hands have been en- gagged to work in the Patchogue factory. There seems to be an excellent chance now for it to become noted as manufac- turing centre. In time Patchogue lace may rival the renowned Nottingham. The shipment of machinery, valued at $5O,- 900, is to be followed by another of equal extent for the same establishment, and if this experiment. is successful other fac tories will no doubt follow, which will participate in the fame and the profits to be made for Patchogue lace,
 Now watch Patchogue grow. And while watching think what power there must be in law which can turn clam bed into lace factory. Patchogue lace dosen't sound just right but we can get used to it.

GOOD MAN NERO.

History is being rapidly and radically reconstructed in these days. For instance, William Tell, who was credited with rid ding the earth of tyrant, is now denied an existence. And Nero, who has been pictured as perhaps the most dastardly ty rant in history, was, according to Signor Lanciam, the learned Italian writer, @ public-spirited benefactor of his subjects. And if he fddled while Rome was burn ing he did it to express in music his satis- faction with the progress of his benefcent scheme. Nero desired to make many ing their width and making many of them more direct, and also to introduce many improvements by reconstructing public buildings. His efforts in this direction were met by opposition from property owners. He directed two architects, Severus and Cellar, to prepare plans for the encouragement of streets in certain parts of the city, making them as near to straight lines and right angles as the billy confguration would render feasible. Numerous public squares
 were laid out, and 8 system of
 sewers was planned. Regulations for
 buildings were prepared, in which it was
 provided that the height of houses should
 not exceed double the width of the street,
 that each house should be completely cut
 off from the adjoining building, that each
 house should have portico in front, and
 that wood ceilings should be excluded from the first stories of buildings. Tents and booths were secretly prepared and yes sells were sent to various Mediterranean ports after grain, with orders to meet at the mouth of the Fiber on a certain date. In accordance with Nero's plan, the city was fired in numerous places, and, of the fourteen wards, three were entirely de- stroyed, and seven were burned in great part The crowds driven out of their homes found the booths in the outskirts of the city ready for them. The grain-laden vessels appeared in time, and the towns people were fed and housed during the re- building.
 This is good and, for all we know, may
 be true It will be interesting to note
 the further progress of the reconstruction | of history. It may yet turn out that mo- body struck MT. William Patterson and that the long inquiry for his assailant has l been based on false premises.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

British peers as rule are away above rum shops are among their possessions.
 Pride has queer freaks. A Brooklyn man who wasn't too proud to be wander ing around drunk was very much humili- ated by being arrested by a colored po- liceman.
 Railroads are appreciated in Arizona. The legislature has decreed exemption from taxation for twenty years to any railroad built in that territory within the next three years.
 Some parents expect too much from their children. A man has recently died in the poorhouse at Bloomington, Illinois, who not long ago divided up S30,000 among his children.
 Sarah Althea Terrys latest appearance is in keeping with some of her previous per formances. At Fresno, California, where she lives, she assaulted lawyer and he kicked her out of his office, and the courts have justified him in doing so.
 It takes good many trees to supply the demand for railroad ties The timber on our railroads amounted to 516,000,0 ,000 ties, or an average of 2,694 per mile of railroad, in use in this country in 1889; BIO ties per mile, or total of 60, GOO, ,000, were annually required for renewals, and 13,000, ,000 for new construction.
 According to figures just published by the Ministry of Finance at Paris there has been an enormous increase in the consump- ton of tobacco during the last two or three years It is estimated that each head of the population consumes two pounds weight of the weed per annum. The North smokes much more than the South, for whereas the Department du Nord is credited with an average of two and one-half pounds per head, the inhabitants of the Department de Lozere only use about one-half pound each. It is in cigarettes that the largest increase is apparent. Cigars and twist to- bacco for pipes remain pretty steady, while the use of snuff is shown to be rapiply de- clining.
 If housekeepers would take hint from hotels, says hotel man, "they would have less trouble with servants. Hotel men have no trouble in getting all the help they want, though they offer only moderate wages. The difference is not SC much in the work as in the hours.
