Carlyle in his "Sartor Resartus" was
able to find deep philosophy in aprons.
'Aprons are Defenses; against injury to
cleanliness, to safety, to modesty, some
times to roguery. From the thin slip of
notched silk las it were, the emblem and
beatified Ghost of an Apron, which
some highest bred housewife has grace
fully fastened on; to the thick tanned
hide girt around him with thongs,
wherein the builder builds and at even
ing sticks his trowel; or to those jingling
sheet iron aprons, wherein your other
wise half naked Vulcans hammer and
smelt in their smelt furnaces there
not range enough in the fashion and
uses of this vestmentY

FACTS FOR AN OBITUARY.
The Good Men DO Lives After Them an
Is Detailed To the Rannrtars

The Good BIen Do Lives After Them and
Is Detailed to the Reporters.
AS disagreeable duty probably as
any that ever falls to the lot of re-
porter is the getting of facts for the
obituary notices of persons who are not
especially prominent. Newspaper men
always shrink from the work and are
loath to enter o house of mourning.
The exigencies Of the profession demand
it, however, and strange as it may seem,
sometimes the men actually have COM
ical experiences.
This is best illustrated by the nara
ton of recent occurrence in New
York. A death notice had been re-
ceived late in the evening, and to the
trained eye of the night city editor bore
all the earmarks of ''good obituary"
These are indicated by the penmanship
of the notice, the location Of the home
of the deceased, the name, the wording
and numerous other minor details, such
as one unfamiliar with newspaper work
would scarcely notice.
The reporter assigned to the task pro-
ceeded to the residence given with feel

with the corpse. In response to the ring
of the bell an airish young woman, pre-
sumably the widow of an elderly man,
opened the door of the house, which was
in good neighborhood. The reporter
introduced himself and the subject as
delicately as possible.
ooh, I'm delighted tosee you, replied
the woman effusively, in answer to the
deprecating words of the man. 1--WE
always wanted to see a reporter" she
added, looking curiously at the specimen
before her, as though astonished at see
ing respectfully appearing individual.
Then followed the ordinary questions
by which the reporter found ont when

was educated, the list of clubs and fra

No.. CITY ELECTION,
COUNCIL COMMITTEE ON ELECTION PREPAR-
ING FOR 1T.
A Brief Meeting Held Last Night-City Solicitor
Riley Present to Explain Mode of Action
The Numbers 10 Map Out the
Precincts and Report

Now that the smoke Of the Presldeh-
tial battle has passed away, the city
election draws on apace, and prepare
tions have already started. Last even
ing the Council Committee on ElectlohS
met and formulated plan OF action
This is one of the few committees OF
Council that has long time between
sessions. They al met last night tor
the first time since they were organized
two wears ago. 1t is committee thaI
is only necessary TO meet at these inter
walls. as its business pertains only TO the
biennial city elections. An attempt
was made a few evenings since to meet,
but no quorum was obtained. All the
MANNERS of the committee were present
last night.
The members OF this committee are
Tonis Zoeckler, of the Firth ward;
Peter Hoe, Fourth ward; August Weloe-
busch, Fifth ward; j. 2. OMalley, SlXth
ward; Cecil Robinson, Seventh waru'
w. P. Myer. Eighth ward. There are
no representatives from the Second ana
Third wards. Chairman Weideousch
presided. City Solicitor Riley was
present, and stated that among the
duties of Council is to lay off the wards
into voting places and get the para
phernaia for the same.
After a short discussion 1t seemed to
be definitely decided that the hrst thing
to do was to lay off the wards into vot-
ing precincts. The precincts under the
recent election would not in every IN
stance answer the purpose, ana the
county district lines would not harmon
ize with the city lines. In some in
stances the same precincts and the same
voting places could be used, but not al
WAYS. Taking this into consideration
it was finally moved that the members
lay of their wards into voting precincts,
carefully defining the boundaries OF the
same.
1t was the opinion Of City Solicitor
Riley that it was unnecessary to have
so many voting places. That if there
were forty places now in the city, there
ought not to be over thirty. ms
seemed to be the view Of the members
present, as nearly all were OF the opln-
ion that there were too many precincts
in the wards. Every ward has from
500 to 600 voters, and in Washington
district, including Fulton, at the recent
election, there were l, 100 votes. While
there were seven precincts they could
get along with five. The member from
Webster then spoke up, and said they
had been having eight aud now be-
leved they could get along with five,
and so on among all the members. 1t
