ON THE DEAD QUIET.

Lewis E. Jones, the clever attorney on the
fifth floor of the Globe building, would
strike the average observer as neither belli-i
cose or herculean. Nature has cast him in
slight mold, not specially indicative of
strength, while over his classic features PLAYS
asmile at once innocent ana friendly. But ap-
pearances are deceptive Beneath that
friendly smile lurk grim determination and
undaunted courage; and his slight form con-
ceais thews and sinews flrmer than cast steel
All of which can be proved by A. J. Dia-
mond. Diamond is a collector, and he had
business with Jones, which called him to
Jones Office. Business was discussed the
discussion on Diamonds part was fierce and
aggressive, while from Jones' standpoint
1t was bland, seductive and peaceful Finally,
Diamond became abusive, and then Jones
threw off the mask of peace and donned
the aspect of grim-visaged war; He ordered
Diamond out and Diamond did not go.
HeavIng peaceful sigh of resignation. Jones
opened the door and then went FOR Diamond.
Never yet did gem receive such polishing

it into ruby in forty seconds by the watch.
He put ruby all over it. He bathed its faces
in its own gore and finally dumped it into
the hall and then peacefully resumed his re-
ligious thoughts at his desk An hour after
every hand in the building was aching to
grasp the hand that decorated Diamond.

SHERMAN WAS FOR III.

The Ohio Democrats are berated for
asserting in their platform that if the
government needs more income than it
is obtaining. or will be when some of
the tariff burdens are modified. the in
come tax would be good way to fill the
deficit. This contingency is not likely
to arise with the Democrats in control
of congress; but there are ,599 claims
filed i'll the pension office yet unacted
upon, and there is no way of anticipat-
ing the final demand in that quarter.
But if the position taken by the Ohio
convention was wrong, the Democrats
may insist that they were taught by
JOHN SHERMAN to believe in an in
come tax. The senator has been
a Republican oracle for good
while and has furnished large part
OF the arguments used by the Republi-
cans of his state. One of the strongest
speeches he ever made in the senate
was in support of the income tax, then
in operation and assailed with all the
objections now raised to it. He re-
sisted the attempt to repeal it, and de-
clared 1t "the most just and equitable
tax levied by the United States" In
his view. and he was very emphatic
about it, other taxes were on consump-
ton, while the income tax touched only
the prosperous and wealthy, who were
able to pay it. A tax on consumption,
he said, could not be made equal, be-
cause sit takes greater portion OF the
earnings or income of the poor man
than OF the rich man to pay taxes
for the absolute necessaries of life."
He further said that if he had
his way he would have a tax of 5 per
cent on all incomes above $1,000, land
then throw off those taxes upon con-
sumption that Cypress the poor and take
copppers out of the dollars of the peo-
pie who earn them by their daily work"
Probably the senator has changed his
mind, and would now spare the veal tn
of the millionaire ard take the coppers
out of the earnings of toll, but his
speech will perhaps do as much service
now as when it was first delivered.

which politely rendered him the courtesies
of the race track and asked in what shape
he desired the complimentaries made out
Billy allowed a smile to illumine his features
while he wrote a note in reply, which the
boy carried off. Time elapsed and no tickets
came and Billy wondered what was the mat
ter. If he could have followed the messen-
ger BOY he would have ascertained. The boy
went straight to J. j. Anern's Office, where
Jim had good laugh all to himself But 1t
was too good to keep. He had to go out and
tell somebody and get little assistance in
laughing.
Now that the ducking season is at its height
and hunters are returning with more stories

the exploit of City Physician Aucker, as re-
lated by himself He went out dueking once
and had bad lnek. Not single mallard or
teal responded to the crack of his shotgun.
On the way home he met a farmer who had
made a killing and was carting home great
load of ducks. DR.. Ancker struck bargain
with him aud purchased fourteen ducks,
which he carried home in triumph. Mrs
Ancker congratulated him, and Immediately
inquired if the ducks had been cleaned The
doctor said they had not and orders were
issued to the cook to at once clean the bir ds
Presently that functionary reported that the
birds had already been cleaned. The doctor
was neatly caught, and admitted that the
birds had become his by right of purchase,
not conquest.
II never thought about their having been
cleaned" he said to a friend, "but at the
time did think ii a little strange those birds
were all shot in the same spot''

at seems absurd" observed Supt Gilbert
yesterday thoughtfully, that it is necessary
to state that child is promoted from lower
grade to a higher one because the work OF
the higher grade is that to which he is best
adapted, and that the basis upon which this
promotion is made should be his quaIfica-
tions for the work of the higher grade.
child should be promoted to higher grade
at whatever time it becomes evident he can
do better work in such grade.
"The ability to answer questions is at best a
very feeble test of mental power, he pursued
touching upon the ethics of his recent report
to the board of education. THE doers are
! by no means in the majority of cases the
takers; so that this test of the ability to do
higher grade work would be a very poor one,
even if schools were graded with perfect
wisdom, and the knowledge of the work
given in one grade were an absolute essential
to that done III the next. But, unfortunately,
this is not true. No superintendent of schools
would dare say that his courses of study are
prepared with such wisdom and his work ad-
| justed wit such nicely that the child must do
the work of the sixth. or that the examina-

accurate tests Of the child's knowledge and

The register Of deeds does a public

need OF better light in his vault. When
real estate was more active than it is
now and attorneys were crowded in the
room where the records were kept in
the old court house, the air was as thick
ana deadly as in the Black Hole of CAL
cutta. They used to cheer themselves
IN those days by the thought that hap
pier time was coming, and that in the
new building there would be light and

CITY HALL GOSSIP.

For the first time since the Bell charter
commenced to ring its chimes in the city
hall and court house the officials of the city
have, during the past few days. experienced
a lull in the rush of work. Whatever the
opinions may be as to the practical working
of the new charter, it has without doubt
clearly demonstrated its efficacy in doubling
the work in the city Offices. Under the old
charter, which was originally drawn up
many years ago. the common council met
every two weeks and had set OF committees
tackled on. so that the aldermen might be
kept busy between the regular meetings of
the council Ample time was given to city
officials to keep up the records of the pro-
ceedings, and every one was supremely
happy in consequence. There was vast
amount of work always to do. but there was
also reasonable time allowed i'll which to do
it.

The eleventh day of May, 1891, will be re-
membered by every one employed in the city
hall at the present time, for on that day the
new charter came into force. AS every one
knows. it created the house of lords" or
assembly, and the ''house of commons" or
board of aldermen. Each body has a regular
set of committees, numbering twenty eight
in ALL and officials are often at their wits
ends to keep track of affairs. The principal
Office in the city hall affected by the creation
of the double council and committees is that
of the city clerk. If it was not for the fact
that genial Tom Prendergast and his able
force of assistants are endowed with excep-
tionable ability, the affairs of the council
would have been in tumble long ago. 1t
must be borne in mind that every resolution,
ordinance, etc., read at council meet
ings must be copied indexed and
filed, and thus work has to be done as soon
after the meeting as possible. All commit,
tee meetings must be attended and the pro-
eeedings kept track Of which is in itself a
large labor, for during the past two months
as many as six committees have met in one
day: In addition to the council work, Mr. Prem
ydergast offciates as clerk TO the park board
and to the conference committees. The reg
ular routine work of the clerks Office keeps
the force engaged busily employed but Mr..
Prehdergast has system of his own, and the
pile of work which is attacked every morn
ing is usually disposed of by the evening.
City Attorney Lawler is another official
upon whom the charter has cast a vast
amount of extra labor. He attends every
meeting of the assembly and board of alder
men, park board, conference committee and
regular committees of the council. In ad-
ditien. he is the legal advisor of the board of

marred by the present and growing habit of

not pretty. 1t destroys all of the grace of the
dance, and reduces it to a sort of pell NELL
