GIVE AccePrAsLe ADVICE oNL'


There are varisus ways of taking ad
vice, but the poorest way is that Of reject
ing It, Some men ask advice for the pur-
pose Of rejecting 1t. while others reject
it because it is kindly and free.
Advice is generally rejected whether it
has been asked for or heen given unso-
lclted. Advice that is asked for is rarely
accepted kindly and less frequently acted
upon.
These observations refer, of course, to
friendly not professional ad vice.
The 80 called professional advice Of
physician or of lawyer is
snubbed as a matter of business The
patient or the client usually snubs his
physician or his lawyer from perversity
or from a pig-hoadsd conceit, till he Is
in desperate straits and likely either to
go TO Jail, or to the devil, when he obeys
either the one or the other, sometimes
both with the implicit obedience Of a
slave or the cringing and fawning
aequiescence OF dog.
Friendly advice about some things is
very acceptable; about other things it is
dangerous between even the closest
friends. It is dangerous to advise your
dearest friend against some personal
habit, the bansful effects OF which he
himself is aware. 1t is far more danger
ous to advise him that his best girl is
fooling him, even though he is conscious
OF her airting, hckle nature.
Any man resents advice that wounds
his vanity, while he is eager for advice
On the same subject, from the same per-
son which dAtters him and feeds his self
concelt.
The only safe way to give advice is TO
withhold 1t until one ascertains what
sort Of advice man wants and then give
him the kind he wants. The mans es-
TEEN is gained by that most delicate and
effective fattery-sgreeme
lfa man wishes to buy a calf with
three legs he will respect you far more
for advising him to bay 1t, though 10
should die the next day or bring in6uiie
ridicule upon him by living, than il you
showed some superior qualities In advising
him one day how he might save $50. 900,
which he lost the next day by not taking
your advice. In s1eh q case from a
curious perversity as inexplicable as it
is unjust, such a man would hate and
scorn the friend who had given the
advice. unheedsd. by which great loss
might have been prevented, while he
will love aud cultivate the scornful
enemy who assisted him to do some
absurd or harmful thing
A man loves companion in folly far
more truly than a companion la wis dom.
Thieves aud scoundrels, when they trust
each other at all, trust each other far
more implicitly than wise and honest
men do. They are far more companionable
with each other. They find more
entertainment in each Others society.
Revelers and roisterers love each other
and each others friends; wise and
honest men bore each other and FREE
quently insult each others friends
1t is all a matter Of advice, Of personal
appreciation or condemnation. Ifa man
feels that you approve Of him he tolerates
you, or perhaps even likes you II you
advise him the wrong way, no matter
whether the advice is good or bad, use
ful or harmful, whether It results well
or i'll, he hates you. He knows that you
condemn him or his ways. aud he resents
superior wisdom or superior virtue.

THERE is nothing so abominabls in
newspaper work as in intentional pre-
varication Of truth in reporting to suit
low political purpose. This is what the
fresh young man" OF the Morning
News, who reports the Municipal Court
proceedings repeatedly does as instanced
in the two egregious errors which he
made last night. The guilt Of Lee was
80 patent that even his counsel, II. H.
Ward, a staunch Republican. but fair
man, practically abandoned his defence
and admitted that he could not meet the
states evidence yet the reporter makes
a pervsrslon of facts, which II true,
would bring the Municipal Court into
dsrepute, as partisan tribunal where
one class of men were punished without
cause. and the guilty Of another class
permitted to escape with impunity.
There is not. we venture to say, even
the most partisan or virulont Republi-
can in the city, who would dare to assert
that the Municipal Court judge does not
hold the scales Of justice with absolute
impsrtiality, without regard to color or
politics The last sentence but one Of
the report of the Billany case is also so
distorted as to make Il appear like a
threat, which was never made, and
which puts the judge in a false light
before the public.

SENATOR WoLcoTT Of Colorado, one
Of the Republicans who assisted at the
funeral services Of the Force bill, said:
Out In our section we are all opposed
to Harrison owing to his attitude on the
public question affecting the great West.
The ovation which has been accorded to
him during his trip through our part Of
the country Is not meant for Harrison
personally, but for the President. Every
body ont my way on the Republican side
is for Blaine, and we are earnestly pray
ing for his recovery. Mr. Blaine has
given us a splendid administration. And
his ability, as evidenced in his diplomatic
negotiations with the British and Italian
Governments, has won him a name and
fame among the American people which
entltles him 70 anything within the gift
OF the Republican party.

An extract from the New York Sun
commenting on the Briggs case shows
that the Presbyterian Church is in a
difficult place. There Is no doubt that the
utterances Of Dr. Briggs are out Of har-
mony with the Westminster Confession.
The case has excited such comment in
the church that the Assembly
seems bound to decide between
the two. Il must reject Dr.
Briggs or the Confession. Or with !
milder conservatism than religious
bodies usually exhibit it must revise the
Confession or effect compromises viii

is going on in other churches. TIL,

The discreditable feature Of the case is
that there should be Cotton to be de-
feated. The Carpenters are merely doing
their duty as good citizens. The methods
that Cotton introduced in the Fifth
ward and his use Of the negroes of
Ethiopia alley, should be defeated It is
pity that the Messrs. Carpenter should
have TO engage in such contest, but it
Is credit to them that they are willing

THE ALARM CORSET.

The public benefactor, an American in
Paris, who has invented the corset which
emits shrek, when squeezed, like a
railway engine, deserves the plaudits Of all
mankind. He has already obtained the

many mothers, whose daughters have
fingered in the marriage market till
summers had turned into winters in
marking the length of their sweet, but
too persistently maidenly lives.

were not remarkable case of presence Of

Bardell was an experienced woman. She

Pickwick's arms ana maintain her
position without making any perceptible
struggle, and to weep all at the same
time.
Mrs Bardell was a lone widow, a
woman Of wonderful perseverance, and a
genius. She put herself through a
rigorous and religious training to make
herself living alarm. The alarm corset
accomplishes the same end at once. No
previous training is necessary whatever,
and it can be applied to subjects Of all sizes
and all ages, without any reference to the
number of unsuccessful efforts which
h ave been attempted by any other plan
A dumb blind, deaf girl or a red headed
girl may be successfully marketed with

TRAINED NURSES.
A School for Them at The County
Hospital.

At the last meeting Of the Board of Health
DR.. MtQuesten introduced resolution call
ing for the establishment of q Training
School for Nurses at the City and County
Hos pital. In accordance with the resGlu-
ton committee was appointed TO consider
the matter, and this committee met in DIR.
lie TuurneuX's Office last night. There we're
present NJ ayor SandersCn and Drs lie Tour
neux. McQuesten. Davidson and Fiske and
Superintendent Healy of the County Hos
pital.
A number of pamphlets containing rules
anf regulations of Training Schools for
MUSES. in various Eastern cities were read.
and alter much discussion 1t was resolved
to recommend to the Board OF Health the
temporary adoption of the rules of the ST.
Luke's Hospital Training School for Nurses
in this city with such alterations as may be
necessary.
DR.. Healy stated that there were seven
teen nurses in the hospital at a salary of
$40 each and costing the city nearly $500 a
month. Most of these are males. The OBJ
Ject in establishing the school Is 10 do away
with these nurses and substitute trained
females, who after certain time Will be
paid small salaries By this means the
work If the hospital could be done at a
great saving to the city by the pupils OF the
schools.
IT was resolved TO recommend that after a
three months probation pupils be paid the
sum Of SO per month. They will be re-
Quired 10 buy their own suits. The school
IS now open for applicants, and the mum
Der Of pupils for the present will be limited
TO twenty.
1t was recommended that Ida NJ. Forsyth
and Elsie K. Mohl be appointed as head
nurses and teachers of the new schools.
Both these ladies we're present at the meet
ing, and gave the committee much informa-
ton regarding the conduct of such schools
in Eastern cities. They are graduates Of
Philadelphia Training School.
The idea is to gradually weed out all the
nurses who are now drawing $40, and as the
pupils of the school advance in proficiency
they will take the places of the nurses who
will be DISCHARGED

FOR INSULTING LADIES,
A "Statue }" Promptly Declared
a Yagrant.

William D.. alias John D. Miller, the
Market-Street masher, arrested for va
grancy, was convicted with neatness aud
dispatch in Police Judge Rix's court yes
teTday and will be sentenced to-day.
Officer Green, who arrested him, proved
that Miller had not done any hon est work
for many long day. All that he cared for
was 10 grease his hair, wax his musttche
and show of in front Of the Baldwin Hotel
Miller is an ex celent sample OF the class of
! loafers and statues" who infest many of
the public streets and annoy women and
! girls with their insulting looks and actions.
The police propose To arrest some of
Mtller's more prominent confrereS, quite
number of whom were in court yesterday,
as they said, ito see the Duke beat the
case and make monkey of the police
force" When the reverse came they hur-
ried out OF court in double quick tins to
reyent the police making a raid ON them.
Miller's conviction has spread consterna-
ton among the loafers who mouopOliZe the
streets and consider themselves above the
law. Their boasts of police immunity re-
celved a severe shock yesterday.
AS sample of the way in which Miller
conducted business as "masher," the fol-
lowing instance the facts Of which were
most reluctantly forced from him during
his examination in the Police Court yester-
day, may be cited:
girl 10 years Of age accepted his in
vltation 20 have glass of soda with him
the other day. Instead of taking the little
girl into respectable drugstore he decoyed
her into notorious drinking resort on Ellis
street, and when it came to q matter of pay
ing for the drinks ordered by him, Miller
declared he had no money. and actually
forced the girl to pay for them out Of her
slender purse.
just as Miller was leaving the place with
the girl the father of the latter happened
along. He Immediately questioned her how
she happened to be in such company, where
upon she told him all. Nerved by the
deepest indignation, the father seized Miller
by the collar, forced him to his knees and
beat him with his cane until il broke and
Miller howled for mercy. Not Till then did
the irate parent allow the dude to escape.
Miller intimated yesterday that he would
appeal his case when sentenced to-day. The
father OF the girl, when so informed last
night, told Officer Green that he would hire
special counsel To prosecute the ease
