First and Second Glass Cities.

Probably no one who had not OBJ
tanned information on the subject-could
make reasonable guess at the number
of places in the United States contain
ing 1000 inhabitants or more. The
guesses by the uniformed are general
ly from 10000 to $4,000, but the United
States census discloses only 3,715.
Moreover, there are only 2,552 that
have a population exceeding 1,5Oo At
the other end of the line the returns
are no less remarkable, for there are
only seven cities with population ex-
ceeding 100000. There is abundant
room for growth in these cities and
towns, but the places with 1000 or
more population already contain Al per
cent. of the total population of the
United States. The larger cities, it ap-
pears from the returns, are growing
more rapidly than the country at large
Thus in 1880 there were 2s6 pieces hav-
ing 5000 inhabitants or more, the COM
bined population of such places being
% per cent. of the whole. In 1890 there
were 44s such places, containing 90 per
cent. of the whole population.

ABOUT ADVERTIsING.

Advertising is science and art COM
bined. To know how to place an adj
vertisement where it will do the most
good; how to frame it, and the amount
of space it should occupy; how to get
the greatest good for the least money, is
a problem when solved, would rarely
fail to make advertising pay.
First, the advertiser should have an
article that he can accommodations
that will give satisfaction to the .pur-
chaser.
Second, he should look for the me-
dunn through which the largest number
Of buyers can be reached.

THERE has been a great deal of bIuster
during the past week over the Behring
sea controversy and the protection of
the seal fisheries. The government of
Great Britain has been bluntly told that
the United States mean to put an end to
the Canadian poaching, even if force
has to be used. John Bull, after snarl-
ing that this "means war;" backs down
as usual. England does not go to war
with the United States any more. She
has had two trials, and knows when she
has enough. Besides, there is another
very potent reason. The late James
Redpath used to put it in this way:
'Twenty-four hours after war had
been declared with England every Irish
man and every Irishman's son would be
a volunteer in the United States army.
In forty-eight hours there would be
revolution in everyone of the thirty-two
counties in Ireland" John is not
making war on these terms, at this day.
He will pay for the seals as he did for
the alabama" He will even let
Canada go to eternal smash.

In order to increase the plush manu-
facture in this country the Mckinley
bill increased the duty on plush. Incl
dentally, it is to be noticed that the
principal plush manufacturer in this
country is republican, who contributes
literally to campaign funds, and is re-
puted to have given Mr. Wanamaker
$25, 900 to help elect Mr. Harrison. I'm
mediately after the Mckinley law had
increased the manufacturers protection
wages in one or two large plush fac
tories in Pennsylvania were reduced,
The Fall River News, a republican
paper, informed the world lately that an
English manufacturer named Akroyd
was about to establish a factory in
South Portland, Me, and it quotes Mr.
Akroyd as telling the Lewiston board of
trade that, with duty of ITO per cent,
it cost $3.50 a yard to land English
plush in this country, while he could
make the plush at 1926 and make 81. so
a yard profit selling it at $4.75 a yard,
or rs cents under the duty paid prices of
the imported article. According to
these figures, the cost of the foreign ar
ticle, without the duty is So. So; the do
nestle article costs 1926, difference of
only about 10 per cent. But in order to
afford phenomenal profits on the domes-
tic article, the duty on the foreign arti-
Gle is made so high as to more than
double its cost,

a Commotion 8 yNaahinrton.


Washington social circles have been
shaken to their centers by the innova-
ton upon long-established custom, in
troduced by Mrs. Secretary Noble at a
dinner lately given in Washington.
Hitherto the president, as the guest Far
excellence of any banquet which he
may see fit to attend, has been given
the seat of honor usually accorded the
specially-honoredg guest, at the right of
the hostess. 1t appears that Mrs.
Noble sent to London not long since to
assure herself Of the English custom in
the matter, and, acting on her sad
vices from abroad" she gave President
Harrison, at the dinner mentioned, her
own place at the head Of the table and
seated herself at his right and her hus-
band opposite the president. And now
a storm of remonstrance is raging at
the capital. 1t is all very well, say the
critics, for Queen Victoria to usurp the
place of her host, since she is supposed
to own him, mind, body and estates, but
in republican America the president is
sufficiently and suitably honored when
he is placed at the right of his hostess.
1t now remains to be seen whether
Mrs. Mobiles carefully-prepared plan
has established a precedent or not.

county Tar, against the management of
the State Hospital for the Insane at
Warren, were received yesterday by the
Governor, and by him referred to the
State Board of Charities for investiga-

The statements contained in the affl-

of affairs.
Those in charge of the asylum are &C
cused by Mr. Peart of the most brutal
outrages, and these charges are sworn
to by some of those who claim to have
suffered, and by others who profess a
knowledge of the details.

Togothar They Threaten "a. XIII Thei1
Father. Ex-sheriR Little.
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, March %. The
fatality that has followed in ex-SherifE
Dittle's family during the past few
years, manifested itselT again in the
compulsory arrest of Chester and
Charles Little, respectively 35 and 80
years old, sons of the ex-Sheriff. by
Chief of Police Bogart.
Both men are in the Jail.
Chester, who was formerly a clerk in
the registers Office, was recently released
from an insane asylum. He became in
volved in a dispute with his brother,
Charles, as to whether their father was
i'll or not.
1t became evident that the afiiction
had extended to Charles, and when TO-
gether they threatened to kill their
father at his home on Central avenue, a
complaint was made and both men were
placed under arrest.
They will probably be sent to an asy-
lum. Signs of insanity have cropped
out in Mr.. Little's family from time to
time, one son having killed himself
several years ago.

steal and altogether pretty but unde-
pendable dress had deep, cape-like
and very full lace fri1l at the throat,
coming well down over the shoulder. It
fastened in the neck at the back with iri-
descent ribbons whose loops and stream
ers touched the floor. The round, full
bodice was kept under government at
the waist by dark green velvet ribbons,
so arranged as to simulate a pointed
peasant waist; the bottom of the skirt
was finished with puffs of the silk be-
tween velvet bands When had looked
at the frock long enough it seemed to
me that the girl had chosen it because
she loved the pigeons neck and be-
cause there were glowing and paling
lights in her hair.
A dark girl who poured tea and didn't
want to-of that I was sure-wore an
apple green silk frock, which Is shown
like the shifting and shading and be-
ribboned one in the sketch given. It
had curious vest and front drapery
which makes it worthy of description,
set in like an apron. The tone Of this
was lighter than the body Of the frock,
but was kept down to the decorum of
mid-Lent by profuse black lace garni-
ture.
There was a striking dress of blue
watered silk with lace corselet and vel
vet ribbons, but more forcibly iIlustra-
tive, perhaps, of the fashion tendencies
of the season was rich creamy brown
silk dress, heavily corded, glossy and
falling in soft yet stately folds. Its
scant, sweeping breadths had NO garni-
ture of any description, but the long
brownish red silk coat, which was made
as if it would cover it but stopped in
season, had stately Directoire re-
vers of crimson velvet and pointed
with velvet caps let into the
sleeves. The tall individual who had it
on-can anybody tell me whether it is
in quick and direct response to the
pressing necessity of harmony with
their environments that women, now
that they wear tall gowns, are getting
most uncommonly tall?-folded her
hands behind her back, carried her head
as if she had just left the gymnasium

bosom than could be managed COM

goers.

The VVashingtons Trounced.

RICHMOND Va, March 29.-The New
Yorks yesterday played their first game
against strong team, and not only held
their own, but administered a lively
trouncing to the Washingtons. The
batting of the Giants was of the heaviest
kind and their fielding strictly first class.
The great point of the game, however,
was the demonstration of Ewing's great
value to the team at first-base. His
coaching was first class, and his work on
the base and at the bat was fine. The
score: New York 10, Washington 6.
