The Parkhurst Raids.

There are signs Of a growing sentiment
in New York against the raids which are
being made upon the homes of unfortu-
nate women in that city by the police.
The police are driven to make the raids
by the course pursued by the society of
which DR. Parkhurst is the director A
few nights ago respectable house, within
a block of the Fifth Avenue hotel. was
raided, and all the inmates carried to the
police station, where they remained dur
ing the night They were released the
following morning by the police Justice,
having been able to establish their
responsibility without trouble. No
amount of money is a satisfactory com
pensation for an outrage Of that kind, and
it is difficult matter to get any compen-
sation at all A suit against the city
would drag along for years, and the re-
suit of itmight not even pay for the time
occupied in prosecuting it. If these raids
60 on, people who visit New York will be
afraid to stop anywhere except in first
class no tells. They will avoid board
ing houses for fear OF being made parties
to one of DIR. Parkhurst's scandals
Many, who cannot afford to stop at the
high-priced hotels. will stay away from
New York altogether.
The New York papers are largely re-
sponsible for the condition of affairs that
exist i'll that city. Instead of pointing
out the damage that DR. Parkhurst is
doing, they encourage all sorts of trans
actions which they think will furnish a
sensation for their news columns The
aim of the great majority of the
newspapers nowadays is to get hold Of
something that is sensational without re-
| gard to the truth Competition between
them is so keen that they have pushed
| aside the old time methods for obtaining
| facts, and write their articles from a
standpoint they think will be an attractive
one.
! How much better it would be II they
would seek less diligently for sensations
and more earnestly for the TRUTH The
| people of all classes of society would then
| have better chance for justice and for
having their rights respected. Even DR..
| Parkhurst would not be given more prom
inence than he deserves. His lack of
| charity and his anxiety for notoriety
would be made clear. He and men like
him would not be permitted to pose as
| Christian teachers while showing want
Of Christian charity.

featuring capitalist to ask him to agree to
pay high prices for the manufacturers beue-

They cannot afford to give a bounty to the

Gen. Emil Frey, whose election as
president of the Swiss republic was told
in our dispatches, is very well known in
this country, especially by those of both
the north and the south who had any,
thing to do with Libby prison during the
war. He emigrated to this country from
Switzerland in 1860, and enlisted in an
Illinois regiment. He soon rose to the
rank of major. At the battle of Gettys-
burg he was captured by the confederates
and sent to Salisbury prison. From there
he was transferred to the Libby prison.
III which he remained until January
1865, as hostage for n confederate
captain under sentence of death in a
northern prison. After the war he re-
turned to Switzerland, entered politics,
was successful, and for seven years repre-
sented his country as minister at Wash
ingJon. A year ago he was elected vice
president of the Swiss republic, and has
now been promoted, according to the GUS
tom of that country.

Mr. Mckinley brought in his arm bill May
3. 1890. and proposed to allow 1t to be gener-
ally debated lot a period OF two days, and
then that five minute speeches should be al
lowed to run on one week. At the end of two
weeks the bill came to - vote and was passed
ana no amendments. excepting those offered
by the majority, were permitted to be voted
on. 1t would be well for the protectionists to
recall these votes when the Wilson bill comes
up for consideration and an effort is made to
eXpedite things.

TO COLOR mEERscHAuM PIPES.

Don't Smoke Fast, Let Your Bowl Cool
Repeatedly, Avoid sudden Chill.
To color a meerschaum properly is an
art, says a writer in the Washington
Star. In the first place one must smoke
it slowly and only just fast enough to
keep the tobacco burning, without over
heating the bowl. AS soon as have
smoked one pipeful of tobacco let the
pipe get cool again. In this way shall
eventually give to the whole delicate
ly-shaded tint. Only u careless smoker
viii permit the bowl of his pipe to get
scorched around the edge. Further
more. new pipe should never be
smoked out of doors in cold weather
nor laid on cold marble or glass, as the
chill is apt to crack the meeschaum.
Mecrschaum would not color at all but
for the fact that it is boiled in wax. If
used in its natural state it would quick
~ become soiled, the material being SO
porous that it absorbs the slightest
moisture from the hand or anything it
comes in contact with. But the wax
fills up the pores and gives the meer-
schaum q scrt of enamel. pipe that
has been spoiled by overheating SO that
it will not color can be reboilcd in wax
and restored to some extent. This kind
of work is done in the trade by experts,
for it requires great skill. Vienna is
the greatest center for meerschaum
carving, which has attained very high
artistic development. The raw mate
rial comes in such old shapes that much
skill is exercised in obtaining from each
piece pipe that shall be as large and
well shaped as possible. The rough
block is first soaked in water to make it
soft, when it can be cut as readily as
cheese. After the carving is completed
the final polishing is done by women,
with fine sandpaper and a kind Of grass.

Attar Of 1,oses costs nIoney.

When you see genuine altar of
roses" offered on the bargain counter"
for twenty-five cents half-pint, you
are justified in suspecting that article,
remarks the Buffalo Commercial. The
real ''attar'' comes in copper canteens
which weigh about twenty ounces.
They arc valued at one hundred dollars
apiece. The present supply of altar is
chiefly derived from a small tract of
country on the southern side of the
Balkan mountains, in the Turkish prov
ince of Roumania. The principal scat
of the trade is IN the town of Kizanlill
and the darnasls rose is the flower grown.
The peasants plant it in rows in gar
dens and field. During the month of
May the flowers are gathered by boys
and girls in sacks and close baskets.
The flowers are daily distilled that they
may lose none of their odor by delay.
1t is said that about seven thousand five
hundred pounds of flowers are required
to produce two and one-quarter pounds
of pure altar.

An Enormous sernent.

The largest serpent Of which accurate

noted was an anaconda which DIR. Gard
ner found dead and suspended to the
fork of tree during his travels in Mex
leo. 1t was dragged out into the open
by two horses, and it was found to
measure thlrty-seven feet in length.
Inside Of it were found the bones and
flesh of horse in half digested state,
and there was no doubt that it had
swallowed the animal whole. DIR.
Gardner and other travellers say that
anacondas, pythons and boas attain a
length of over forty feet, but there is
no recorded instance Of one having been
encountered longer than that which
has been mentioned, though many per-
sons have seen scrpents alive which
they estimated to be of considerably
larger size.

folded lengthwise between his fingers.
The man with the bill had got on the car
some squares back. and the conductor
should have collected his fare before, but
he had allowed the man with the bill to
wait. As the conductor turned towards
him, the man with the bill said: Here,
