A very curious decision was given by an
English Judge the other day TO the effect
that In a disagreement between cook snd
mistress they could part company with
out warning on either side and not be
held for breach OF contract. This is not
the case I'm other branches 'of domestic
service, as precedents have been estab-
iished. A maid that leaves without warn.
ing cannot collect her wages, mistress
cannot discharge her maid without warn
ing except on full payment according to
the contract. The exception In the case
OF the cook as given by the English Judge
was made on the ground that q cook, II
detained against her will, might revenge
herself upon the family. The Judge does
not specify, but seems to mean some-
thing more serious than the usual indi-
gestion.

A MYSTERIOUS ASSAULT
In Which Young Bostonian Receives Slash
Across the Throat

BosToN, jay i4-Ernest McAdams. a
young man we'll known In theatrical cir
cles, while returning home at 5 o'clock In
the morning was attacked near Dover
street, on Washington, by an unknown
man with a murderous knife.
McAdams had spent the evening at the
Elks' club, and was accompanied by a
friend. His assailant sprang out OF a
doorway and drew a knife across Nc
Adams throat, narrowly escaping the
jugular vein. McAdams sank to the
pavement, insensible, and his assailant
escaped.
There IL said to be woman In the
case"-an estimable young woman whom
McAdams accompanied home from the
house Of a mutual friend, late one even
ing about two weeks ago. McAdams was
then overtaken by stranger who angrily
reproached him for walking with the lady,
and finally threatened: ''Pll cut your
throat some time for this!''
McAdams' wound, while not liable to
terminate seriously, will probably leave a
scar for l'fs.

Burns was sentenced for term of IS
years for robbery. On Jan. 10 last, Gov

that he abstain from the use Of intoxi-
eating liquors for five years from that
time. Last week Burns was arrested In
Rochester for being In state Of beastly
intoxication. The attention OF the judge
was called to the provision in the gov

Burns back TO Auburn prison, to serve
the remaining ten years Of his sentence
Burns will now have to serve his full

THE OFFICES AND THE MUeWUMPs

1t is one quality OF the Mugvump
which touches our unregenerate Demo-
cratic heart to the core. We weep for them.
They do not want to hsye any changes In
public offices, yet they howl about the
rsscality OF the officials. None OF them
"want" office, yet they are candidates and
theirs are the first papers on file at Wash
ington. Senator Carlisle knows nothing
about finance, yet they are continually
recommending themselves or their friends
TO HIM for Office. Postmaster Cen
eral Bissell is, In their eyes, a
Buffalo Indian, unless he appoints their
man for postmaster. The fourth assistant
Postmaster General. Mr.. Maxwell, is a
"headsman" when he appoints life long
Dem ocrat to a country Postoffice when
they have particular dude or store clerk
whom they want appointed. Mr.. Gres-
ba m is not an American II he does not ap-
point a phiIo- European or anglo maniac
20 consularst Up, etc., etc.
But Notwithstanding, things seem to be
moving along. The Democrats can stand
it--if the work is done at once.

BAD METHODS.

1t is not to be wondered at that We must
have high taxes and an increase In the
valuation Of property In the city II the
BosFd of Aldermen and Common Council
continue to appropriate money In the way
they are now doing. We want II clearly
understood that we don't object to I'm
provements. We want to be up to the
times. But we most earnestly and
strenuously object to the method taken to
pay for them.
1t is proposed to expend sl25,0O0 for
an electric light plant and about this sum 1t
is proposed to appropriate" for this pur-
pose. Now any man with the instincts OF
intelligence about him, with any idea
whatever about the conduct Of municipal
affairs would say that to appropriate"
such sum was unwise and absurd. This
means hiring the money and making this
large sum part of our general debt.
This means that we must pay this sum by
general taxation within a reasonable
length OF time.
IL we have park, also to cost as much,
~ not more, than an electric light plant
there will be no telling where taxation will
stop. We cannot tell exactly what the
excess In expenditures in the city, over
the limit allowed by law for the past year
is, on account OF the unsatisfactory and
imperfect report of the City Auditor, but
IT Is very large and this year, with from q
quarter to half million added, it will be
enormous.
This is Republican management. II
the whole City Council was composed OF
Second Ward boilers II couldn't do
worse.
But 1t is time TO protest against such
management. II is time 10 raise a warn.
ing voice and call on the city government
to take some action In the right direction.
There is but one way to get these improve
lHcutb duu w ~ piopoiiy ""e NV bo'o
them burden on the present generation.
When the water orks of the city were
built the money was raised by Issuing
bonds, and we believe the sewer debt Is
bonded also. Instead OF "appropriating'
money out OF the general fund to pay for
these improvements 1t should be raised
by bonds. We are not the ones who are
to reap all the benefit from these new
undertakings. Our children and those
who come after us are going to get the
greater reward for our foresight and
thrift. Whv then should we pay
for II allf These burdens should
not alone fall on us. 1t should fall on all
equally. with this debt bonded aud pro.
vision made for q sinking fund and the
payment OF the interest, in a short Will,
the whole will be paid. But to take thi
money as the city government proposes
from the sum raised by tax, is unjust, IN
wise and contrary to all modern princi
pies OF municipal financiering. II is
great drain on the people and II the cit.
government had sufficient wisdom Il
guide IL in this matter II would carry ou
its plans In right the way.

dren. She has been assisted for several
months by the ladies Of the Lee Camp
Auxiliary. both as a body and Individually.
Her husband not having been In the Con-
federate army, she cannot receive any
substantial aid from that source. for the
rules OF the camp do not allow II TO give aid
TO anyone except tho widows and orphans
OF Confederate soldiers.
II she had the necessary food and her
house rent raid for few months. she
would be able TO take care OF herself.
