Some years ago so time worn yarn
goes, it was proposed before the board of
aldermen Of New York city that number
Of gondolas be purchased and placed in the
Central park lakes. The cost of the mum
Der suggested struck Tim Campbell as ex-
travagant, and he offered an amendment
that only two gondolas be purchased, on
the hypothesis that the natural increase
would soon stock the lakes. Whether or
not the suggestion is at length to be acted
upon, il is u fact that two ''real" gondolas
appeared in the East river the other day
They were manned by Nenetiaus and at
tracted considerable attention. One OF the
most noteworthy things about them. by the
way, is the fact that they are not intended
for the worlds fair.
The Missouri vagrancy law, which directs
the sale for six months to the highest bidder
of persons found guilty of vagrancy, is to
be brought before the supreme court for the
purpose of testing its constitutionality. The
law dates from 1915, and is, consequently q
relic Of the days of slavery. Until 1879 this
old law was the only one on Missouri's
statute books dealing with vagrancy, but in
that year & vagrancy law was passed which,
it is claimed, made an end of the old One
But recently vagrant was sold under the
old law, and upon habeas corpus writ in
his case the matter will be taken 30 the
supreme court.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER Is, 1913

Galveston does not relish the
quarantine restrictions that pre-
vent the landing of that sugar car
go. If these restrictions are need
ed to save that city and the state
from giving the yellow scOurge a
foothold, all well, but if this pre-
caution is not necessary, then all
is not well. Commerce has it's
rights as we'll as sanitary regula-
ton and neither should encroach
upon the legitimate domain of
the other.

A $4,000 CONFEDERATION.
Young's Drug Store Badly Dam
aged-The Cause.

aged-The Cause.
About 10 O'clock last night an
alarm of fire was turned in by
Officer Herrera, from box No. 26,
at the Central police station, and
the department repaired to Mill
tary plaza, where they noticed the
flames in the building occupied by
NC. Young, the druggist, on the
corner of Dolorosa and Flores
street.
1t seems that the flames origin
ated in the cellar of Young's drug
store, the cause, probably, being
spontaneous combustion, as that
apartment was filed with chemic-
ais of all kinds. Soon after the
arrival Of the engines several
streams were seen playing on the
conflagration and in short space
of time the blaze were eXtin-
guished.
The building is owned by H. D.
Kampmann, the loss to which is
estimated at $1,000, fully covered
by insurance. Mr.. Young's loss to
stock, ETC., is estimated at $500,
also covered by insurance.
In addition to the loss in this
building, the adjoining structure,
occupied by Jordan Bros, the City
Hall restaurant. men, sustained
some loss by water, as does also
Ed. KOtula, whose wholesale
grocery adjoins the restaurant.

Fashion Echoes:


The new bodice ruffs are Eliza
bethan in width and volume, but
are light and subtle, and do not, as
the historic ruffs did, make the
wearer look and feel as if pilloried
for misdemeanor.
Sapphire blue, peacock blue and
delicate shades in silver and swal-
low blue are for this and the coming
season either combined with black
MORE or trimmed with jetted
gimps, black silk passementeries
or black fox fur.
An October white and gold we'd
ding will depend for it's artistic eff
feet on white and yellow chrysan-
themums, which are to be every
where-on the alter, to form a
floral arch, and fastened in bunch
es tied with white ribbon at the
end of each church pew. The little
maids of honor will wear yellow
and carry long sprays of the white
flowers.
Many tourists and Worlds fair
travellers, says the New York
Evening Post, pronounce most de-
cidedly in favor of the alpaca
gowns they adopted for
their journeys and jauntings.
These materials. are certainly
an excellent choice. There
is an airy elasticity which
causes them after long journey
in car or steamer to spring out as
fresh and unwrinkled as ever. Dust
can not stay on their slippery sur
face, and even water rolls of, harm
ing nothing. Plain alpacas come
in handsome stylish colors, but the
shot patterns lend themselves to
even more pleasing effect. An
ecru alpaca family shot with GRIM
son looked well with a coat lined
with crimson surah. The coat had
a wide cape collar of ecru Irish
lace. For wear with this coat, in
doors or at hotel tables, was a deep
cream colored silk blouse with
turnover collar and frill down the
front, edged with feather stitching

MORE PAY FOR FIREMEN.

No one who appreciates the dangers
to which the members of the fire de-
partment are compelled to expose them
selves, as well as the service they render
IN the protection of life and property,
will consider the increase in the salar Y
granted last night as extravagant.
The new list puts the firemen on the
same footing, as regards wages, as men,
bers of the police department, which is
certainly only fair. The actual work of
the former may be more continuous,
but It is by no means SO confining. The
fireman is on duty day and night; the
policeman from seven to nine hours a
day.
Providence. through the excellence
Of its fire department, has been free
from serious confagrations, and it is to
be hoped the increase granted will tend
TO still further raise the standard Of
efdciency.

SOUTHERN CLAIMS.

There are many sincere people in the
North who doubtless believe that there
is no ground 10 fear an earnest attempt
upon the United States treasury by the
Democratic party in favor of Southern
citizens who were losers on account of
being rebels.
Yet the Congressional Record cannot
be attentively read without the convic-
tion forcing itself upon an honest man
that there is now in progress cleverly
planned and a persistent scheme to pay
to the South vast sums of money out of
the national treasury.
There has already been introduced in
the house great array of bills calling
for the payment Of money to Southerners
on account Of alleged loss by reason of
the war. Some of these bills have
already been alluded to by The News.
Last week a big batch of new bills was
introduced, calling for great sums of
money and the abolition Of laws guar
anteeing fair elections. .,.
One of these bills called for the re
turn to the states of all money collected
as tax or duty on raw cotton under the
act of July 1, 1862; for the relief of
soldiers who served in the Mexican war
and afterward in the Confederate army;
for allowance of claims for use
or destruction of buildings used
alone for educational or religious
purposes; to pay for certain stores" fur
nished the Union army probably in.
tended to allow claims for forage, ETC.,
taken by the Union army; to adjust the
claims of the states against the United
States; to refund taxes collected on raw
cotton; to refund internal revenue taxes
on cotton; to re-examine claims against
the United States.
There have been many bills introduced
that appear from their titles to be exact
many bills to repeal the
federal election laws, many bills to
afford ex-rebels excuses to attempt to
raid the treasury. All of this class of
bills are offered by Southern members
ex-brigadiers.
1t is estimated that the passage of
the bills of this class presented one day
last week would open the way for the
to the South of more than the
entire sum paid to the Union pension
ers since the war.
And yet Southerners and Northern
mugwumps accuse loyal Republicans of
waving the bloody flag" il such in
fanny is alluded to.
