A WICKED BOY.
He Threw Himself in Front Of an Electric Car
Just to Ee Mean

Down on South Illinois street. the other
day. q small boy walked out and delib-
erately threw himself on the track just
ahead of rapidly moving electric car.
He had no preoocious intention of commit
ting suicide. but was animated by the dIa-
bolioal purpose of seeing how near be could
come to the moving car without getting
hurt. and of exaspcrating the motorman.
That person turned pale. and
brought the car to q standstIll with
jerk, just as the youngster, with
wicked CLEAN in his eye, a thumb to his
nose and fingers waving defiance at the
motorman scrambled up and skipped nom
chalantly OF. If all the people in sight
whose fingers ached TO spank that boy had
enjoye ed the coveted privilege hls skI piping
powers wonld have been limited for day
or so. And If the motormsn said bad
words, not under his breath but right out
loud, who can blame him, in view of the
fact that had the boy been hurt an nnds-
eliminating public, which does not dis
tInguish between an unpopular corpora
ton and it's well-meanIng employees, would
have put all the blame on him."

ADVERTISING At HOME AND ABROAD.

When newspaper adv ertising became
recognized as the best means of cOmmu-
nicatinR with the public the evolution
of the advertising agent followed. He
immediately supplied the want which he
came to fill and was speedily recognized
as a useful institution. The business
man who finds it desirable to advertise
his wares or his special calling in the
papers over a wide territory, or in dis
tant region, has in the advertising agent
middle-man who has an acquaintance
and a commercial standing with those
distant publishers and can obtain better
rates. even with his own commission
added, than the stranger could hope
to do. So greatly has the advertising
business increased that many of these
agencies that have proved their trust
worthiness have become prosperous in
situations. Speaking recently of the re-
moval of an old advertising firm into
new and commodious building of it's
own, a Boston paper. stated that the
business of the firm had more than
doubled in the last eighteen months.
This statement is significant as showing
the increased prosperity of the country,
for it must be remembered that the adj
ditional advertising comes from all
parts of the country, and not a single
region, and that, as a rule, men do not
double their advertising expenses when
times are dull. AS the statement
was made by a free-trade paper
it was not intended, of course,
that any conclusions should be drawn as
to the benefits of Republican tariff and
financial policies, though such cOnclu-
sions will in evitably follow. But. what
ever the cause, the increase in advertis-
ing is enormous. Oddly enough, much
of it is i'll the direction of what is known
as foreign" advertising-that is, of the
kind referred to above whore tho pro-
Queer exploits his business in pnbllca-
tions far from his home. This is notice
ably true in the case of Indianapolis.
Residents of this city are frequently sur
prised on learning for the first time from
the advertising pages of some literary
magazine, or the columns of some far
away newspaper of the existence
of certain factories here, and
their attention is not infrequently
called to retail houses or the
specialties of professional men in the
same way. Now, no one can question
the right of these men to advertise
where they please, though there may be
the publishing mediums; but it il GER

ness Judgment that leads them to avoid

THE BACKBONE OF WESTERN CITIES.

The GOOd people who do the warning
business, upon all subjects. for the
whole country, have told us for gen

vice, crime, ignorance and poverty fly as
a natural protector. Years ago there
might have been something in this, and,
in the cOngested localities of few larger
cities, into which the dregs of our i'm
migration settle and seethe in tenement
houses with native or semi native vice,
crime and poverty. there is yet local
menace TO popular government. But
where half dozen very large cities are
adding a few hundred thousands TO

of cities with a population of twenty

CONGRESSIONAL FUNERALS.

In old times when member of Con-
Rress died he was buried in what was
called the Congressional burying-
ground" a small cemetery some dis
lance southeast from the Capitol. 1t is
now in a very neglected condition, but
it contains the monuments of many
members of Congress who died before
the custom began of sending the re-
mains home for burial. This customl
came in with railroads, which made
transportation compar atively easy.
There has always been more or less
abuse connected with. congressional
funerals. Following is an extract from
the private journal of the late Hon.
Joshua r. Giddings. written in Decem-
Der, 1888, as found in Julian's Life of
Giddines.n He was writing of Wash
ingtOn funerals: tHf.a /.
measured by the number of hacks that fol-
low the hearse. Or course, q great number
of empty hacks usually follow the process
sion. If a member of Congress dies the
usual procession is constituted of all the
hacks In the city, which are employ ed to
follow the hearse whether they have any
passengers In them or not. A monument
costing some $500 or 500 is also erected.
and the whole expense is paid from the
public treasury, including $50 to the land
lord where the member dies. During the
last session q member from Baltimore died,
and his body was carried to Baltimore on
the railroad for burial. All the cara owned
by the company were put In requisition.
and the members of the two houses all
took seats in the cars, followed the corpse
to Baltimore, stay ed over night had their
dinners and wines, lodging and breakfast
all at the expense of the Nation. 1t was
thought that the whole expense was not
less than $4,000 or $1,000. But If members
go to Baltimore ut the public expense.
/ do not see why they may not take q trip
to Philadelphia, or New York. or. even, 20
to Boston, or west or the mountains
1t seems from this that the present
congressional funeral junket Is an evo-
luton from the congressional funeral of
more than fifty ears ago. So brazen
proceeding as that related by Mr.. Gid
dings would not be tolerated now, but
that which he dimly foresaw has come
to pass, and the bodies of deceased Con-
gressmen. who die in Washington. are
sent to the remOtest parts OF the cOun-
try for burial, accompanied by commit
tees who fare sumptuously at public
expense. 1t is not known whether the
custom of paying $3.50 to the landlord of
the house where the member dies still
prevails, but another custom has grown
up that is more expensive, viz, paying
the family of the deceased member his
salary for his unexpired term. No mat
ter how Congressman may differ or fight
about other matters, they are unit
when it comes to voting themselves
perquistes out of the public treasury.
On this point they all stand together,

DEATH OF MR. EMMONS BLAINE.

The death of Mr.. Emmons Blaine,
which occurred in Chicago yesterday, is
startling in its suddenness and almost
tragic in the sadness of the circum-
stances. To the distinction of a great
and honOred name the deceased added
business qualifications of the first order
and social prominence acquired by high
family connections. On his first en-
trance in the business world as q rail-
road man he developed an aptitude for
affairs which soon carried him to the
front. and for some time he has ranked
among the brightest young business
men of the country. At the time of his
death he was vice-president of the Bal
timore g. Ohio railroad, and had charge
of it's Western interests. with headQuar-
tiers at Chicago.
Since the sad and untimely death of
the Hon. Walker Blaine, about q year
and half ago. Mr.. Emmons Blaine, the
next oldest brother, has stood very near
to his distinguished father. Indeed, in
some respects, especially rs a business
manager and adviser, he was even
nearer his father than was the elder
brother. His death will be great blow
to his parents, and, following SO soon
after that Of another son and married
daughter, makes their burden of Attic
ton very heavy. In this new bereave-
ment the universal heart of the country
will go out to them in deepest sympa-
thy. They have lost three children in
less than two years. and now have three
left, James &. Blaine. IT., Mrs. Dam
rosch and an unmarried daughter.

THE approval by the Board of Public
Works of plans for the construction of
a large sewer along Washington street,
from Noble street to the eastern line of
the corpOI alton, is the beginning of a
general reconstruction of our sewerage
system. This sewer will be about ono
and half mile in length, and, with it's
numerous branches and connections,
will cost about $4,000. It will be fol-
lowed in due time by other sewers, all
to be constructed under a general plan
which, when completed, is intended to
furnish what the city has never had be-
fore. viz, complete and adequate
sewer system. There has been q great
