Jesting Under Difficulties.

The actor out of an engagement at this
season OF the year hangs upon the STRAND"
like the blasted fruit to the leaf1ess orchard
tree. overlooked or not worth gathering.
You may know him by the shortness of his
trousers, by the closely buttoned summer
coat about his neck and the absence of an
overcoat or the presence of one palpably
made for somebody else. The jaws begin to
work nervously and to look thin and
hungry. Yet, to hear him converse in q
little knot of professionals similarly situ-
ared you would suppose that it was a matter
Of no moment He is rarely gloomy of

have known men who hadn't the price of a
glass of beer about them for days at time
who were very entertaining-and who would
crack their best jokes at their own expense.
In hiding their own individual sorrows un-
der the cloak of merry demeanor many an
unfortunate is greater actor than he
would even claim to be benind the foot
lights. And this is saying much. But there
are always clever men and women walking
the streets OF New York who are infinitely
better qualified to entertain the public than
half of their professional brethren who are
drawing salary. It is the lack OF business
tact, or forehandedness, or something aside
from artistic merit.

The ladies' tears began to flow
And tears within the youths eye gistened-
They did not know. they could not know,
That when at home Herr Singeroding
Would also make his wife's tear flow
By giving her an awful scolding.

HIS SACRIFICE
He used to come into the store
In fancy vest arrayed,
And oh! the neckties that he wore,
The colors he displayedl
But now no tints about him lurk,
On different plans he's built.
Alas! his best girls hard at WORK
Upon crazy quilt.
In eddyihg airs the red leaves whirl
Where wild flowers droop and fade.
And presto. changel the summer glrI
Becomes an autumn maid.
IT'S HERE AGAIN.
Now, mournful feelings to provoke
Against all human nature.

Upon the Legislature.

A LOOK AROUND.

A DARK night gives you better idea
perhaps of the rapid growth of upper part
of the Southside, than even a view on a clear
day. To anyone who can remember how it
looked terf years ago, this growth seems
marvellous. The house lights twinkle from
the Iowland up to the tops OF the hills like
the moonlight on wavetops when there is
broken sea- What was a barren stretch of
bleak hillside five years ago is nova thickly
populated district. The growth of the city
has not been confined to the eastern wards
by any means.

Taking Desperate Risks.

That is what think every night in upper
Broadway. There you'll see score or two
Of men coming out Of the super-heated the
aters between the acts to stand in unpro-
tected full dress around the cold and
draughty lobbies, or out on the sidewalk
for chat OF smoke. You'll see them at
the Madison Square Garden-sQuare acres
of white shirt front-sitting for hours IN an
atmosphere suggestive of overcoats. They
pour out of club houses and hot restaurants
at all times of the night, often in a dripping
perspiration from exercise or wine ana with
careless or no provision against the evils of
sudden change OF temperature. You can
meet them OH Broadway with top coats
thrown wide open and the chest exposed
from necktie to waistband.
Yet it is only now and then that we know
of man who was out around town in

There are more than q thousand men TAX

American Women and Hotels.
The swellest looking women can be seen
about the Fifth Avenue Hotel every day.
They are guests of tho house and come from
various cities throughout the Union. 1t
used to be that American women were chary
about being seen about the hotel corridors
frequented by guests and loungers of the
male sex, but that is all changed. note
that these women bear the stamp of the CO.'S
mopolite. They have the air of women of the
world, who are not afraid of the world and
who are rather glad they are in it. The
matrons have charmingly Comfortably
look between fashion and benevolence, of
the sort of people whose position in the
great game of life is assured. The young
women are comely to look upon as rule,
and are .oftener downright handsome than
that they dress, for the most part, with ex-
cellent taste, being given to plain, well-fit-
ting travelling, street and carriage gowns,
and in this respect form an agreeable con-
trast to the American women of 20years ago.

ONE of the results of the furry in the
affairs of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, caused by the report that Drexel, Nor
gan & Co. intended to endenYor to change
the management of the compa ny, Is said to
have been the taking on of large
amount of stock by the friends Of
the present officers. Although some
of the English newspapers took very de-
cidod hand in the fray and sought to arouse
q sentiment against President Roberts dur
ing the stay of that gentleman in London,
it did not result in much. The heavy En-
glish stockholders declared that they were
satisfied with the present safe and conserva-
tive policy which had brought them fair re-
turns and hear that proxies were Obtaina-
BILE in sufficiently large quantities to show
that the rank and file had confidence in
their homo leaders. 1t was claimed that 60
per cent of the stock was held in England,
but if that was true last year 1t is not true
this, if Philadelphia experts in such matters
are to be believed. They say that steady
buying has put the control absolutely into
hands which will support Mr. Roberts and
his associates
THAT erratic monitor of the town, the
big bell in Municipal Hall, tolled out at 7:l5

and much to the astonishment of the crowds

turn to the old alarm DAYS.
AT the time the Government showed
disposition to finish work on the new Smith
field street building. it was claimed by the
chief architect that the city was Obliged by
an old contract to cut the hill on, Fourth
avenue. There was q good deal of talk at
the time in the papers on the matter, bnt it
finally died out. Does anybody have clear
notion as to how the thing stands, and is the
city obliged to push the cut If the Govern

IT is a matter of fact, which is readily
susceptible of proof, that nearly all the
small alleys in the eastern part of the city
are in an extremely filthy condition. This
is especially true of those which ore un-
paved. There should be a thorough cleans
ing of the by ways of the city this winter, in
view of the uneasy feeling as TO the coming

The world has been edited by the &C
count of another transatlantic race
which has just terminated in New York
hsrbor. The competing vessels were
the Aurania, belonging to the Cunard
Steamship company. and the Alaska Of
the Guion line. The race from sport.
ing stand point was a very pretty one and
began week ago Sunday, when the
Alaska steamed out of Cork little less
than an hour ahead of the Auranis
Whether the race had previously been
arranged with the agreement that the
Alaska was TO have this advantage or
whether it was an impromptu affair and
originated in the ambition of the Cunard
to overtake and pass its rival is not
stated, but before dawn on the following
morning the Auranis had almost over
taken the Alaska, and before noon was
several miles ahead of her. This lead
was held until the following Friday.
when the Alaska piled her furnaces with
such good effect that the two ocean
steeds were once more neck and neck, as
1t we're. and there was lively business in
pool selling on both vessels. First one
and then the other lead until Saturday
evening, when the firemen OF the Aus
rama by most desperate efforts. succeed
ed in sending her past Sandy Hook light
house one minute ahead of the Alaska.
All this makes very interesting read
ing, and similar tests of speed will prob
ably go on until one of these vessels
turns it's course skyward in sections.
Then it is to be hoped. as the Chicago
Post says. vessel owners will see the adj
vantage of directing their money and
their energies into some safer channel.

In Recorder Millcr's court this morn

Two colored men were fined s. each
for depositing filth on the streets. W,
Z. Collins was tried on similar charge,
but was acquitted. A sewer from Mr..
Collins house on Cumberland avenue
empties on the property on the cast side
of the avenue. Recorder Miller told TIE
CITIZEN that the reasons for acquitting
Mr.. Collins were that he had the per
mission of the owner of the property on
which the sewer emptied, and that he
the recorder, knew that if everybody in
the city kept their premises as clean as
those of Mr.. Collins there would be littl'
complaint.
Health officers Fletcher and McBrayer
are somewhat discouraged over The
result of the trial, as they are uncertain
whether it is worth while to attempt
another case Of this kind. They say that
the emptying of the sewer on the surface
is dangerous to health, and that if thu
spot were covered with dirt now ant
the dirt removed years hence th'
workmen would run a great risk o
taking fever from it. The board of healtl
saw they want and must have the co
operation of the recorder i'll all sucl
