THE TWO ORPHANS.

Somebody nicknamed them ''the two
orphans" don't know why, but the title
STICKS. Probably they're not orphans at
all. II there is papa or mamma, how
ever, and a big brother no one has ever
seen them. But when the weather is fine
the sisters appear and pass in lonely parade
up or down the way. The are twins, ap-
parently, and almost indistinguishable
Their hats are of correct shape, their shoes
new and glossy, their gloves unsoiled. their
capes modilh, yet there is an indefinite air
country breeding about them rnd the counr
try roses are yet in their cheeks.
There is something inexpressibly lonely

and purposeless Probably there is a father
absorbed in business, perhaps needless of
them. They know no way to gain the

no way, and the church is not always to be
relied upon. In many of them the social
atmosphere is Labradoresn.
Men can make acquaintance while light
ing a cigar-tn business, in hundred ways.
But the city life of a lonely woman Is
frightful thing. You see it in the hotels
and boarding houses every where. Some
times its baneful fruits appear in melRn-
choly scandals.
There is no place so merciless as a great
city. hope the two orphans who look good
and true as they are pretty. will find way
to its steely heart.

BITS OF OLD NEW YORK.
There are little eddies in the rush uptown
ward of New York.
The Goelet house-the Goelet farm some
imaginative people call it-stauds at the
corder Of Broadway and Nineteenth street,
melancholy spectacle. 1t is uninhabited,
the breads walks grass grown; the stable in
the rear he's scarce a whole pane of glass
left. Property worth vast sums of money
has been unused here for many a year,
lying directly between Union and Madison
squares.
On East Twenty seventh street is another
eddy in the tide, block of little old houses
set away back from the street, recalling the
days when these were the suburbs and the
city lay below.
About and above Washington square lies
the most interesting region in old New
York, dear to artists especially and to "lit-
erary fellers" Chelsea village remains q
delicious bit of the ancient town, though
Greenwich. its neighbor TO the south, has
been almost entirely overbuiIt by the whole
sale grocery and market trades.
But it Is not in the great middle section of
the city that bits of the old do most abound.

now. and 10 some Of the less lively streets of

Time was when the scene painter was an

Don't lay it to the interstate commerce
law, though. Theater men are sometimes
inclined to make that enactment universal
scapegost.
No, the old-fashioned scenic painter began
TO be out OF fashion when cumbrous and
elaborate setting came in. Space is sold
and rented by the square foot now, and
there's no longer room for the scenic painter
TO do his word in the narrow quarters pro-
vided for him at the back of the stage.
Space the new style OF scenic painting de-
mands, and so many Of the best known
painters have set up huge studios in the sub

"PRoeREss1vr BUFFALO B1LL.n

Since Buffalo Bill was honored by royal
approval and recognition on the other side
OF the water his social standing in this
country has been simply unassailable. OF
course the climax OF that success was
reached at an absurd dinner party at swell
house in West Chester, when Cody was the
guest of honor ana one of only three
men present, and when each Of the young
women present had the honor of sitting
through one course by bis side. then moving
on and giving way to another.
New York laughed Rt this, as It does at
everything, and dubbed it Progressive
Buffalo Bill party"
Cody is fine fellow and as near tiattery
proof as any man can be. That experience
would have made an ordinary mortal too
big TO live.

In former times. says the DuisberGer Zeitun0,
it was the custom in many German towns to
manufacture sausages of enormous length
and carry them on festive occasions in solemn
procession through tie streets. Ga New Years
day in 1858 giant sausage 1873 ellis in length was
carried in triumph by forty eight persons. But
in 1888 1t took nnety-one persons to carry sau-
sage 595 els long and weighing 434 pounds
The chronicler Of the period says: THE butch
ers' men we're all neatly attired in white
blouses. The first man wound one end OF the
sausage several times round his neck, with
portion of it hanging down in front. the rest
followed at equal distances carrying the trophy
on their shoulders, and the last one had the
other cad wound round his neck like the man at
the head of the procession" In the year 1901
we are told that the sausage attained length
of 1905 els, $50 of which we're presented to
their sereue highuesses at the castle. All this
happened in KOnigsberg. In 1913 the Emperor
Matthias RECALLED the princes of the house of
Austria with a tournament, at which the butch

WE REALLY feel like rebuking the
levity of some OF the interior papers in
their references to the coming mid
winter fair in San Francisco. Some OF
the Fresno papers are particularly re.
miss in this connection. They speak Of
it az mickey De Young's fair" Snch
a degree Of persiaage is positively un-
pardonable. In the first place it takes
an unwarrantab.e liberty with Mr..
De Young, who is great journalist, and
who ought to be spoken OF with suita-
BILE decorum. The next thing to
which we shall be treated will
be some unseemly references to Mr..
Alexander Badlam who is, as every
we'll informed person knows. man OF
great patriotism, ability and painstak-
ing activity at select dinner parties in
carving out objects of vertu from tur-
nips and other convenient vegetables,
principally illustrative of the nude, and
of an even rude type of realism. The
Midwinter Fair in its present aspects
bids lair to be miraculous thing-that
is to say, 1t threatens to even conjure
ducats out of the pockets of San Fran
cisco capitalists-a thing never known
to have been done before. On this and
other grounds it ought to be spoken OF

THERE is little doubt that the city tax
rate will be fixed at $1.20 this year.
That is twenty cents higher than it was
last year. OF course great proportion
of this increase is to be aacribed to the
money spent on the outfall sewer for
which bonds have been issued; but the
cost OF city government is increasing out
OF proportion to what it should be if due
economy were insisted upon in all the
departments. The way in which taxa
ton is increasing ought to make our
people take into serious consideration
the proposition so often advanced by the
HERALD of either consolidating with the
county two or three departments that
actually duplicate each others work, or
to agree upon plan of consolidated
city and county government as provided
for by the state constitution. There is
really nothing gained, but great deal
lost, by running two separate govern
ments when one would suffice. We
