Civil service COMMISSIONER hOOetFclO HAS
written an energetic letter to the Hon. Andrew
d. White in support of the Republican State
ticket and in denuncation Of Tammany Hall
II is in Mr.. Roosevelts best style. With ad-
mirabe terseness and lucidby he tells what the
success OF Mr.. Fassett will mean and what
tqtamty the triumph in the State of the maign
and corrupting forces that Tammany Hall stands
for would be. Mr.. Roosevelt's letter will be
found in another column. Read it.
strong araignment of Tammany mis- gov
eminent is made in an appeal to taxpayers,
which is to be circulated for signatures through
out the city. Every taxpayer should read, mark
and inwardly digest it-and vote accordingly.
The false pretence aboutlow tax rates, in reality
brought about by increased real-estate vaua-
tons. is exposed, and the inadequacy of our
schooJhouses, the foul condition of our streets,
the methods of the city departments, etc, are
trenchantly described This document is pow
erful argument for the reduction Of Tammanys
power and influence in both city and State.
I'm spite of frequent dscouragenentS and set
backs. the green goods business continues to
flourish. For some time to come, though, it will
not flourish so much it has, for on Saturday
Inspector Byrnes's men captured one OF the lead
ers of the crooked fraternity and laid violent
hands upon his valuable ''plant." Many in

Vulnerable exposures of this species of fra,rd, it
is amazing that the swindlerS find so many and

we are glad to say, seems sufficient to put him
out of harms way for long period.
There seems to be an impression more or less
widely prevalent that the new pavement which

pared article in our columns this morning shows
that, so far as the lower section of Broadway is

Lispenard Stewart. Mr.. Stewart is again can
didate, and his record affords a sufficient reason
for his reelection The district is the only Senate
district in this city which has usually been rep
resented by Republican, There is no reason
why Democrat should be elected this year ex-
cept that the Tammany Hall candidate has many
personal friends in the district. This is not a
time, however, when personal friendship should
be allowed TO interfere with the election of a
Senator who is opposed to Hillsm and Tammany
Hall. Mr. Stewart should receive hearty support,

Tammany Hall is beaten and knows that it is
beaten. 1t realizes that an honest count of
honest votes will elect Mr. FasSett Governor.
The news which has reached Croker and his
ieutenants convinces them that Flower is doomed,
that the State is bound to go Republican in
November by a substantial majority. Hence, as
is evident, they have determined if possible TO
win the election by the employment of Tammany S
favorite weapons, fraud and corruption. Just as
they once robbed John A. Griswold Of the Ex-
ecutive chair, so they are now putting up a job
having for its object to viotimize Mr.! Fassett.
Forewarned is forearmed. Tammany can and
must be bafled.

There should be no doubt this year as to the
position of the With assembly District in the Re-

voters last year chose Democratic ASsemblyman

Mr. Fassett has already had taste of the en-.
thusiasm of Brooklyn audience. 1t almost
reached whitehead at the reception given him at
the Union League Club several weeks ago. What
then, may not be expected at the meetings he is
to address tomorrow night In the closing days Of
this memorable campaign? The Republican stand
ard bearer will speak three times in different
parts OF the city. The most important meeting will
be that at the Academy of Music, where there will
be strong array Of speakers in addition to Messrs
Fassett, Vrooman, O'Connor and Sutherland This
meeting will he under the auspices of the Brook

among the other attractions ex-senator Miller, Mr.
Meyer, the candidate for Mayor and Mr. Dresser

has been particularly fortcnate in securing as the
presiding officer of the meeting DR.. Truman j.

Backus holds somewhat independent views on
political questions, but in this campaign he Is en-
listed heart and soul against both Tammany and

siding officer There is no doubt that the Academy
will be packed with an audience representing the
best sentiment of Brooklyn.

The Brooklyn Democracy, alarmed by the
strength shown by Mr.. Meyer among the Ger
mans and in the Eastern District, are seeking to
brighten Republicans by asserting that Mr.. Meyer
is to be sold out by the party managers for votes
on the State ticket. Let no one be deceived by
these outcries Mr. Meyer is receiving the hearty,
unbroken 'and loyal support of the Republican
party in Brooklyn. There is no reason for dis
trusting the sincerity and earnestness of the
party leaders on the Republican side. Mr.. Meyer
stands to win, and with the aid of honest Demo-
Gratis and German and independent voters he will
be elected.

Saturday night the work Of enlightening voters

should be marked by earnest, faithful efforts on

A NEW BUSINESS FOR WOMEN.

N. G. Heinrichs, of New York, says:
I often wonder why young American
women who want to make little money
do not 60 into the canary bird business.
In many parts of Germany, particularly
in the Hartz Mountains, women make
hundreds of dollars year solely on Ca
naries. They give up two or three rooms
in the house to-them, and in one room
sometimes have as many as 200 cages,
each containing pair of birds busily
engaged in raising families. The care
of birds requires good deal of time,
but if properly tended, and SO kept
healthy, they will raise two or three
families every summer, and sometimes
ten or fifteen birds are the result of one
seasons Matching from single pair. AS
long as women keep canaries as pets the
demand will continue, for the birds are
delicate and short lived; but a pair OF
healthy birds always commands a good
price and the outlay of capital is small,
and for an indoor employment few kinds
of business render more profit on the
size of the investment.-Neu YorE Dis

vent that it was becomin@ and it takes
much more courage 10 sacrifice beauty
than it does to do away with prejudice
whether the prejudice belongs to your
self or someone else doesn't count. One
thing must be said for the bare-forehead-
bang -abuser-she is brave. She is
courageous to cling to the minority, and
she is more so not to take advantage of a
prevailing style to soften the outlines
and shadow little some expressions of
the face. The hair is 10 the face what a
frame is to picture-a finish. Without
this finish lines are deepened, features
become angular, and even the delicate
half-ines of fine complexion are lost in
the harshness of unrelieved brilliancy.
Nature may not have intended that the
hair should cover the forehead to the
eyes, but Miss Priscilla, Miss Ruth or
Miss Prudence herself could not declare
that nature provided for its being skinned
back the other way.-Chicpgo Tribune.

West Point Death Masks.

In glass.faced, black box hung in the
officers mess at West Point Military
Academy are two death masks whose
duplicates are not known to exist in this
country. One is of Napoleon and the
other of Frederick the Great. Command
er Chadwick of the navy secured them in
London some years ago and presented
them to the mess. To say that they are
highly priced is putting it very mildly.
There is ample proof of their authentici-
ty, so their startling lack of resemblance
to the popular portraits of the dead lead
ers is all the more interesting. Napole on's
casts by far the better, the features are
natural and seem to be in calm repose,
while the face is thin almost to emacia-
tion. It's fine face, but not the face
of the Napoleon we have been taught to
know. Old Indian fighters say it is the
exact counterpart of the face of Black
Hawk. Frederick's face is weazen and
drawn and fearfully out of shape. 1t
looks like the face of mummy. One
officer at the post is particularly fond Of
showing the masks, as his friends have
told him that be looks like Napoleon,
adding to themselves, "below the waist. "

TIE EMERGENCY CUPBOARD.

One of the most novel as we'll as USE
full features of a new benoyelent move
ment is the Emergency Cupb oard," !"
which has been recently started by a
Working Girls Club in Boston. 1t was
thought of by the Kings Daughters, who
secured a large, roony, old-fashioned
secretary, which they put up in one OF
the rooms. The contents of the cup
board were made up by sort of gen.
eral donation party among the members,
who contributed all sorts of nice things
with which to stock it. Tumblers of
iellies and preserves and lots of other
de e-icacies for the sick are ranged In
tempting order on the shelves. Below
in the drawers are placed those numer-
Gus articles required in the attention OF
the sick, hot water bags, rubber sheets,
bundles of old linen and all those odds
and ends of sick room necessity, which
are SO great comfort to the patient and
convenience to the nurse, and which
are so very seldom found in the rooms OF
working women. All these things in
the Emergency Cupboard" are at the
disposal of any member of the club or
any needy person she may recommend.
The members of the club have promised
that the cupboard shall never be bare,
and they have many outside friends who
will always see to it that it is kept we'll
stocked.
The establishment of such cupboard
would be an estimable feature which
might easily be incorporated in
the present work of many of the insti-
tutions in this city which aim to help
working women. 1t would be such
little thing, would not take up much
space in club or meeting rooms, and
would prove of inestimable benefit to its
patrons.-NeU Orleans Times Democrat.

The japanese Wax Tree.

"Japau wax" as it is called, is o.
tanned from 8 tree, Rhus succedanea,
which is found in Japan, China and
throughout the East Indies in general.
In the japanese language it is called
HAZE, or haze. The tree commences to
bear fruit when it is five or six years
old, and increases its product every year,
till, at the age Of fifty years, single
tree will produce $50 to 400 pounds of
berries, from which seventy to eighty
pounds of wax can be obtained. The
wax is formed in the middle OF the ber-
ry, between the skin and the seed, like
the pulp of a grape. 1t is extracted by
boiling the berries ia water and allowing
it to cool, when the wax separates from
the skin and seed, sinking to the bottom
of the vessel in a solid cake. The spe-
cifc gravity of this wax is O.970, and its
melting point 131 degrees Fahrenheit.
1t is largely used, either alone or mixed
with tallow, by the Chinese in the man
ufacture of candles This tree should
not be confounded with the Shallow
tree" of China, which has pith of solid
tallow in all trees that have fully ma.

inquiriag turn of mind.

sional beauti6er for the purpose. The
thing was very interesting, but there
was one trouble about it. She wanted

That's the proper way now of causing

ing done up for seven days at tine,

A Denmark Farm.

The horses ere strong, thick-set ami.
mails, short in height, and more like
those to be seen in Suffolk than any
where else. In Denmark, however, by
far the most important animal is the
COW. In appearance they are not
specially striking. In size, coloring
and quality they are very similar to the
ordinary Shorthorn breed such as one
one sees in the north Of England, though
they are if anything little smaller.
The people take the greatest possible
care of and interest in them, much more
than we do in England. They seem to
be watched by some one or other con-
stantly. As there are no hedges to
separate the fields, the COWS and other
animals, including the sheep, are teth-
cred, and this custom itself entails, OF
course, pretty constant attention. If
the weather be at all cold, one may often
see the beasts covered with cloths as
they craze. The COWS are MIXED thrice
day, about five in the morning,
then between eleven and twelve, and
again late in the evening. A register is
frequently kept of the amount of milk in
pounds given by each COW daily. This
is done without difficulty, and adds
greatly to the interest and success of the
dairy work. Every COW has name.
Sheep are not reared to any great ex.
tent, though every farmer has few.
Shearing takes place twice a year-in
May and toward the end of September.
This work is for the most part done by
women; indeed, the women generally
work nearly as hard as the men upon the
farms, but they do not neglect their
domestic duties. The houses, which are
invariably thatched and of one story
only, are clean and tidy, but from the
close proximity of the cow-house to the
dwelling "a door opening straight from
one to the other), the smell OF the beasts
IS rather too empowering for unac-
customed nerves. The wife spins Ter
own wool, and not infrequent!y weaves
her own cloth.-AacmiNan's Magazine.
