NEW YORK, Dec. 29.--Speaker Crisp

to his visit to New York at this time. as

coming to confer with Prcsident.clcct
Cleveland in reference to Mr.. Crisp's
| reelection as speaker OF tho House and
! other matters of national Importance.
After breakfast Speaker Crisp left the

o'clock. He did not go TO Mr.. Cleve-
lands house, and if no went anywhere

in 4 wesry sort of manner as he replied:

did not. Neither would he eay what
subjects would most likely come up for
discussion in case he and tho Speaker
did meet.
Politicians say that tho Mills men
are making so open fight against
Speaker Crisp's reelection that the
latter has come to New York to assure
himself OF Mr.. Cleveland's support
| Speaker Crisp is strongly in favor of an

as saying that he would, while in New

"Have you seen Ellery Anderson. Mr..

said about it."

The Department of Public improvements.
From the Rvcning World.
Attention is direc led to the article in
reference to the duties of the board of
public works and the city engineer,
which appears in another. column. The
facts in the case are clearly stated, and
it is easy for the reader t. draw his
own conclusions.
Council has certainly misinterpreted
the meaning of the charter, or failed to
interpret at all, but doubtless with per-
feet innocence. No councilman will
attempt to excuse himself because Of
the defects in the charter. 1t docs no.
require very close analysis of that in
strument to find defects. The charter
is tho fundamental law of the city, and
the way to get most good out of it's
provisions, or to make more forcibiy ap-
parent it's unwisdom. is to enforce it.
The board of public works, under the
charter, is the head of the department
of public improvements. The Council
should follow the strict injunction of the
charter and CLEARLY define" the duties
of the board, giving them the full
jurisdiction to which they arc plainly
entitled. This Is the way, and the only
way to test the real value OF the board,
and the system proposed by the new
charter, of which we have yet seen only
the very crude outlines.
Tho merits of the board of public
works as an institution The World will
discuss fully, thoroughly and fairly at
tho proper time. However, we cannot
lot this opportunity go by without
saying that all officers of the city no,
elected by the direct vote of the people
should be appointed by the mayor with
approval of Council, save Councils ow1
officers, the president and clerk.
| We have charter that pretcnis tC
distinguish the functions of the execu
tive AMI legislative branches of the
municipal government, but they arc
about as badly mixed in practice as tht
affairs of tho Office of the city cngineel
and board OF public works

not his duty to supervise the work nor
his place.
This exposition of the positions and
duties of the engineer and board is
based upon the plain reading Of the
charter and the best practice which OBJ.
tains in well governed cities. In con-
nection with this discussion a plain
statement of the cause OF the present
friction ana its remedy is in order.
Tho board of public works is tho
most important branch Of the city gov
ment. Inside its province it is absolute.
The whole tendency of municipal re-
form is in tho directio of enlarged
powers coupled with fixed respoa sibiiity.
Council should proceed to divorce itself
of tho remnant of administrative and
executive powers to which it unwisely
clings. Put tho work and responsibility
whore they belong.

it loses its Shiny appearance and dark
color and appears in clean yellow
skin entirely free from slime. After a
few hours it leaves the tree and crawls
or falls to the ground, where it buries
itself to depth of from one to three
or four inches. 1t soon changes through
a chrysalis form and again appears in
the winged form. The flies are again
actively at work about the third week
of July, depositing eggs for second
brood and these in turn reach maturity
in about four weeks. Pear and cherry
growers should watch for this pest
about the middle of June and early in
August. If trees are badly infested Sc
rious damage may be done TO the To-
liage.
Hellebore in powder, mixed with
water in the proportion of an ounce to
two gallons, and applied to the foliage
with a syringe or a watering-pot,
promptly destroys the slug. Fresh air
slack lime busted on the foliage is said
to be an efficient remedy. A very
minute ichneumon fly is said to lay its
eggs within the eggs of this saw-fy,
and from it's tiny egg little maggot is
Matched which lives within the egg of
the saw-fiy and consumes it. The illus
tration. which we reproduce from the
Northwest Agriculturist, shows an af-
fected leaf, fly, and larvae of the slug.

One Way to Dry Handkerchief.

It is not the washing but the drying
and ironing that is so disastrous to the
beauty of fine handkerchiefs, which un-
less great care be taken, socn become
sadly draggled and worn. A most SEN
sible plan, and one which is being
adopted by the most elegant women, is
to superintend the washing of your
handkerchiefs by having in your bou-
doir small basin, especially set aside
for the purpose, in which the dainty
pieces of lace and cambria may be
washed with your own hands Then
comes the drying, and, thanks to some
womanly genius, this may be easily
accomplished. A handkerchief drying
glass is SO easily made that it is within
the reach of all. A square piece OF
glass larger than handkerchiefs is
bound with ribbon, upon which some
suitable motto is worked, and silk cord
sewn securely on the two upper corners
suspends the novel affair. After wash
ing you kerchiefs, rinse well, and then
stretch them, one at a time, upon the
glass, patting them down smoothly and
picking out each scallop and corner
with care. Hang the glass in draught'
and in short time you will find your
handkerchief exquisitely dried.-Jen-
ness Miller Magazine.

Home Rule in Taxation Would Cure
This.

Il hold that under our present system
there is no greater mandatory of per-
jury on the face of the earth. What is
the habit throughout the entire length
and breadth of the state of New York?
Towns are fighting towns, through
their assessors, to get at the lowest Dos
sible point the assessment of their real
and personable property, for the pur-
pose of going up to the board of super
visors, and in the taxation of the coun-
ty charges, to have their particular
towns as low as possible in the roll of
taxation. That engenders a necessity
on the part of counties to act in the
same way; and you find the counties
cutting down their assessment rolls in
the equalization of valuation of their
property as low as possible, so that
when they come up here to Albany and
appear before the state equalization
board, to divide the state taxation, they
shall pay the least amount OF tax they
possibly can. There is no attempt ON
the part of the assessors and super
visors to get at the honest, actual value
of the property of the country, but
there is an attempt to get it at as low q
point as possible, in order to get an adj
vantage over neighboring towns and
counties in the operation of dividing
the taxes of the county and state
