New York a City Of Two millions.


1t is perfectly safe to say that at this
time the population of the city of New
York is over 100000. The enumera-
ton as given by the municipal census
taken in October, 1890, was exactly 1,710,-
715.
The natural increase alone during the
past two years and eight months at the
ratio ordinarily maintained would carry
the enumeration at this time far beyond
1900, 1000, but in addition to that growth
the population has been increased by a
very large immigration from foreign
countries.
Instead of giving the exact figures, we
prefer to say that more than 100000
immigrants have arrived here since the
municipal census was taken in 1890; that
less than one-half of them made report
that they were bound for places outside
of New York, and that more than half
of them reported their purpose to stay in
this city. We can allow very large
proportion of them to go away from the
city after reaching it and yet leave here
far more than are necessary to run the
population beyond 100000.
The buildings erected here since Octo-
ber, 1890, are sufficient to furnish ac-
commodations for an addition to the
city's residents as great as that of our
estimate. New York Sun.

A French Critic on the worlds Fair.

The Americans 'go ahead" with the
fine ardor and the robust confidence of
youth. just because the impulse given
to it is vigorous the enterprise must sue
ceed. Experience may show later the
imperfections Of detail and the omis-
sions. They can be promptly repaired
from day to day. After some inevitable
friction at the start the wheels, sufi-
ciently fabricated, will run without the
necessity of stopping the machine.
In word, only one thing is looked
forward to--success, inevitable, probes
tined, colossal. In this respect presump-
ton affects an expansion that is unknown
in other climes. The tendency of this
people-who are reputed so practical, so
positive, so little inclined to lose them
selves in the ideal-to magnify, to en-
bellish, to trick out their impressions in
tinsel and furbelows, is not one of the
least surprises which they have arranged
for us. They do not say of thing that
it is beautiful, but that it is the most
beautiful in the world; of an edifice that
it is vast, but immense, stupendous, pro-
digious, mammoth, this last qualificative
implying the idea of absolute beauty of
perfection in greatness.
1t is in this sense that the perusal of
the innumerable journals and periodicals
is particularly interesting and suggest
i've. 1t sheds a very keen light upon
one of the most curious sides of the ma
tional character, the love of superlatives
and metaphor, the abuse of an inflated
phraseology which surpasses in hardi-
hood the highest flights of Castilian

So Called nacn atillluers.

Against tailor cut dresses draped by
women we enter no kind Of caveat, yet
it would seem in the highest degree de-
sirable that the department of millinery
should not be invaded by men. The ad-
vocates of female labor contend, it is
true, that men suffer from an incurable
incapacity to build bonnets. CONNER
cially they may be practically "man
milliners," but technically and artistical-
ly it is only daughter of Eve who can
construct that airy, mysterious and al
together delightful structure, a first rate
fashionable bonnet.
An optimist has declared that if fe-
male of fair capacity, good taste and
approved skill as needlewoman were
locked up by herself in top attic with
nothing on her work table but an onion,
tomato, some bits of colored paper, a
few feathers and some red and white
tape and green ferret she would be able
in the course of a few hours to construct
a most elegant bonnet which, however
coarse in texture it might appear to the
eye, would photograph in a most pictur-
esque and symmetrical aspect, whereas,
were the skillfulest of male artifcers in
trusted with similar task and with
carte blanche in the way of silk, velvet,
plated straw, rare feathers, beads, jet,
spangles and artificial flowers, he would
not succeed in producing anything be-
yond rude, clumsy and ungainly sim
ulacrum Of bonnet.
AS maker Of hats, equality with if
not superiority over the other sex may
perhaps be claimed for the man. He in
vented the lady's hat, he adorned it, he
beribboned it, he plumed it and he hand
ed it over to Rubens, Vandyke, Gains
borough and Reynolds to be perpetuated
as a monument of masterly skill and ele-
gance in their deathless canvases. Lon

Plays For Young Girls,

Many wise mothers think That the
theater should be reserved for adult life.
They regard it as stimulant and to be
unnecessary for the growing mind. 1t
maybe compared to those drugs which
relieve headache by affecting the heart.
Still the mother who would make of
her girl "a woman holy and wise" will
not exclude the theater. But outside of
some special representations of Shake
speare she will select only simple plays,
such as "Trip Van Winkle." "Sweet Law
ender," wholesome comedy where the
deep passions of life are not exhibited,
where the sinful follies of youth are not
presented for sympathy and for commits
GRAFTON.
There is one other class of plays which
she may some time allow for the same
reason that she cheerfully provides ro-
nance in books, and that is the real, old
fashioned melodrama in which the hero
is triumphant, the villain is brought to
justice and all comes out right in the
end. Such treat is like the "frolics'
at surprise parties and straw rides, which
were enjoyable because of their rarity

Ono View of an Income Tax.

If incomes are to be taxed, let them
all-each for itself contribute a fair
share and part of the general amount.
Under no other condition can tax on
incomes be justified. It is the first law
of all equitable taxation that it shall be
without discrimination; that it shall be
uniform.
An income tax levied only upon sin
gle class, and that class largely distin-
guished for it's achievements in building
up the wealth, power and dignity of the
nation and especially for providing in
comes to the millions to whom it gives
employment. is tax which only the
most forbidding spirit of socialism can
defend in country like this, the govern
ment of which is of all the people, by all
the people and for all the people.
Class legislation is native to the mon
archical, not the democratic form of
government. Class distinctions of any
kind are not wanted here, and there can
be none which is more out of sorts with
American institutions than an income
tax imposed solely upon those who
achieved wealth by honorable, useful ef-
forts, all which are of advantage to the

Punishment In Persia.

Among the Persians the usual mode Of
punishment is the bastinado, from which
men of the highest rank are not exempt.
1t is inflicted with very great severity,
frequently so as to render the sufferer
almost cripple for life. The victim is
thrown upon his face, each foot is passed
through q loop of strong cord attached
to pole, which is raised horizontally by
men, who, twisting it round, tighten the
ropes and render the feet immovable.
Two executioners then strike the sole al
ternately with switches of the pomegran-
ite tree we'll stepped in water to render
them supple. A store of these switches
is generally ready for use in the pond
which adjoins the courtyards Of the
houses of the great. The punishment
frequently lasts for an hour or until the
unfortunate victim faints from pain

Mourning Paper.

Mourning paper is a satire in itself. It
wears the deepest possible black margin
for the first six months, say. Then it
grows little narrower. Is that sign
that you are not mourning SO much as
you were during the first half year?
Next year it is narrower still. The grief
is greatly mitigated. The third year it
is mere streak Your sorrow does not
amount to much now! The next year
the black border has entirely disap-
peared. Does that mean that you have
forgotten your bereavement? That would
be the logical Interpretation, and yet in
the case of how many whose stationery
has gone through this diminishing per-
spective to the vanishing point the sor-
row has been even more bitter after
years perhaps than it was at first.-Bos-

NEW INsANE ASYLUM.
ARRIVAL OF A TRAINLOAD OF Pa
ITEMS FROM THE NORTH.
One Hundred Patients at the San Ber-
nsrdino AsyIum-A Well Constructed
and Designed Building : The
Officiais and Trustees.

SAN BERNARDINo, July 3l.-The
Southern California asylum for the in
sane and inebriates was formally
opened today by the arrival of special
train having on board 100 unfortunates,
in care OF 20 guards. from other asylums
OF the state. OF these 40 were from
Napa, 40 from Stockton and 20 from
Agnews. The transfer was brought
about without difficulty, and while some
OF the patients betrayed some indica-
tions OF interest in their new surround
ings, the majority manifested solidity
of courtenance and impassiveness that
evidenced their lack OF mental eQuilib-
rum.
The erection OF the building was su-
thorized by an act of the Legislature OF
1889. The 320 acre tract near High
lands was purchased for $4,000. The
bill provided for the establishment OF
the asylum and appropriated $3.50 900
for the purchase OF the site and the
erection of the main building. which is
OF modern style and built of brick and
trimmed with Mentone and Tehachepi
sandstone. The appointments are as
thorough as the latest inventions in
science and liberal appropriations on the
part of the state could secure. One of
The most striking features of the ap-
pointments of the asylum is the system
of ventilation. which provides cool air
in summer and warm air in winter.
By means of fans located in the base
ment, operated by an electric motor,
fresh air is forced into large galvanized
iron pipes, which pass through reser-
voirs $50 feet long filled with ice water,
and thence to the corridors, ambulatorire
and all rooms above. In winter the air
Is heated by steam. A reservoir located
at the base Of the mountains furnishes
an ample water supply at a fall of 100
feet in 1000. The fire pressure is go
great that stream from Ia inch noz'
zle can be thrown over the tower OF the
building, rs feet high.
A fire company has been organized
among the attaches and every precau-
tion taken to guard against fire. The
sewer system is also very complete,
being connected with automatic flush
tanks. DIR. M. B. Campbell, the super
intendent, has associated with him DR..
A. w. Dolsn, formerly of Minnesota, as
assistant physician; +. J. Kimball, su-
pervieor in charge of male department; !;
Mrs. Terhune, matron in charge Of
female department; George Seymour,
secretary to the medical director. The
treatment administered at the asylum
will be homeopathic. The present

boarders. discharged her much to the
disappointment of the police and prose-
cutting attorney.
She testified that one OF the officers
bad urged her to permit him to prosti-
tute her, which she refused-all OF
which may account for the woman's ar
rest and incarceration In Jail. II the
police would only display one-tenth Of
the energy in arresting and prosecuting
the prostitutes of Alameda and New
High streets, that they do towards
working woman whom they zee on the
street after dark, the newspapers would
not raise such a cry about the iniquity
Of the city. That the police discrim-
mate between q poor woman who is
forced on the streets at late hour OF
the night time. and the highly painted
and elegantly dressed prostitutes OF AL
media and New High streets, is beyond
question. They are too ready to lay
their official hands on q poor girl or
woman who lie without friendsor money,
but those gilded beauties who wear dia-
monds and costly silks are treated with
far greater consideration and leniency.
A case in point-When Emma Saun-
ders was dragged to Jail by policeman,
the official who presides at the police
station as might clerk" demanded OF
her $50 cash bail; but when Grace
Carlyle, the elegant New High street
cyprian, in company with her consorts,
made the night hideous with vile songs,
and were brought to the police station,
the same official demanded OF Grace
only $40 cash deposit for bail. So you
see it makes difference Of $40 cash for
bail whether prostitute 10 brought to
the station wearing diamonds and silks
or in an ordinary woolen dress. Our
gallant officers discriminate in the sum
of $40 cash in favor of the elegantly
dressed prostitute.
l have no desire to impeach all the
officers in the police department, be-
cause believe there are many who are
efficient and conscientious in the dis
charge OF their duties. There are
others who ought not to be in the force
another hour-men who have no regard
for personal liberty or personal rights,
aud who believe that it 10 not the duty
OF the state to prove man guilty Of an
offense charged, but believe that the
defendant should in the first instance
prove himself innocent.
II think it nearly time," said Justice
Seaman, "that the police commission
should reorganize the police force of
this city.
II believe that there are vicious and
unsafe officers who ought to be dis
charged and men appointed in their
stead who comprehend the rights OF in
dividuals, who possess sufficient dignity
to prevent them swearing to false and
malicious complaints such as appeared

Curiosities About Ireland's Emblem.

The shamrock, Ireland's floral emblem,
is trefoil or three leaf plant much re-
sembling our white clover, but of the
oxalis genus of grasses. While st. Pat
rick was preaching to the pagans Of the
Emerald Isle in the year 433 he attempt
ed to explain the "trinity in unity" but
his hearers could not understand it. At
last he plucked trefoil (shamrock) and
said, SIS it not as possible for the Father,
Sonsand Holy Ghost to be one as it is for
those three leaves to grow upon single
stalkr" The pagan Irish were convinced
and soon afterward adopted the sham
rock as their national emblem.-Phila-

put into Boston harbor and dropped
anchor off the Charlestown navy yard
one fine day. The Hartford at that time
was as much an object of wonder and
admiration as the gallant New York or
Boston is today, and visitors focked
aboard her in great numbers. Her cap
tain, an obliging man, made every effort
to see that his visitors were well cared
for, and personally he showed party aft
or party over the ship. At the mess
hour it was his habit to take the curious
down to the berth deck that they might
see how the sailors ate their meals. That
was before they had tables on board the
vessels of war, and when the mess cloth
was spread on the deck.
The sailors did not mind this at first,
but after time it became irksome.
They came to the conclusion that their
privacy was being interfered with, and
SO finally they decided to put a stop to
it. The next time the captain took a
party down to show them his happy
family as it paid tribute to the inner man
an old salt, the acknowledged leader,
reached for certain bowl. This was the
signal, and forthwith dozen sunburned,
brawny arms were stretched forward to-
ward that self same bowl, and lively
tussle for possession ensued. The cap
tain stood aghast. Such unseemly con-
duct paralyzed him, but before he could
recover there was an apparently vicious
''scrap" going on, and before his visitors
too. This was too much for him, and
afterward the sailors partook of their
meals uninterruntad Boston Globe.

A SUPERNATURAL STORY.
Tho Contents of a Paper Found on the Per-

Tho Contents of a Paper Found on the Per-
son of an insane Suicide.
Here is story of the supernatural. 1t
happened more than 100 years ago, 80
that you may hope that it is not true.
Yet in those days the invention of news
was not yet known, and the paper which
contains this story was a sober and hon
est journal. One of the patients in
madhouse--a parish madhouse, | think
that of Launce5ton-escaped. That was
no new thing. They all wanted to es-
cape. AS the woman, although very
mad indeed, was quite harmless, they
went about their search in leisurely
fashion. At last they found her drowned
in a shallow ditch and carried her back
to the madhouse.
On preparing the unhappy woman for
the grave they found in her corset-then
called her stays-something that rustled.
They cut the thing open and discovered
a small parcel rolled up tight in some
waterproof stuf-whatever was then in
vented. The parcel was document
written on parchment. It was written
very small and misspelled. but this was
how it ran:
"The man came along after dark. He
stopped at our door and said he was
stranger. and would my aunt take him
in for the night? He seemed q sailor
and said he was respectable and showed
money. Elizabeth said aunt, he can
have your room, and you shall sleep with
me- There were two bedrooms in the
cottage, up q ladder, both garrets. Dur
ing the evening he sent me out for
drink, and he had lot and was drunk,
but he got up the ladder safe and so to
bed. In the night heard aunt get out
of bed. There was moon shining in
the skylight window.
'sShe took something and went into
the mans room. Then was frightened
and sat up in bed. and heard a sound
as of blow and nothing more. Present
ly aunt came back, and in the moonlight
she saw me sitting up in bed. Get up,
she said; go down stairs and get, if you
can, light So did and brought the
rushlight up the ladder. Aunt had the
Bible in her hand. Swear she said,
that you will never tell any one what
has been DONE So swore, trembling,
and wished might go suddenly mad if
I told. 'Then,' says she, I've killed the
lodger. His pockets were full of guineas,
and Pm made woman. But you must
help me-
$50 she made me help to drag the body
down into the room below and out in the
garden, where we dug hole under the
cabbages and laid it as deep as we could.
Then we covered all up and went back
to the house and waited till daybreak
AS soon as it was light we washed UP the
place, and nobody ever found out. One
night, when was a woman grown, the
dead man came to my bedside and said
Tell the story and said, Il cannot, be-
cause swore.' He said: If you tell, you
have sworn to go mad. If you do not
tell, will haunt you till you do go mad.
$50, as am bound to 60 mad either
way, I have written the story down and
sewn it up. When am dead, somebody
will find it and will dig up the poor man
and bury him in churchyard. The
house is situated"
Thus the narrative. And they dug up
the garden in the place indicated and
found the dead body in what had been
sailors clothes.-Walter Besant in Lon
