INcREAsIHa THE EVIL

The shameful neglect OF the city author

cipally by politicians. having found the
protests against its trespass on the peo-
Pies property unheeded. Is now asking
the Dock Board to allow 1t to further
obstruct the view from the park by fenc-
ing in Its pier, and two other steamboats,
were yesterday given the privilege to
land at the sea wall In gross violation OF
law.
Mayor Gilroy's declaration that the
favored Steamboat Company should not
be disturbed in Its illegal privilege OF
using the Battery Park as a landing
place has directly led TO these new at
tempts to encroach on the peoples
rights.
The Dock Board Is a sort OF Stai

AN UNFORTUNATE MIsHAP.

The bungling at Auburn Prison at the
execution OF n murderer does not affect
the system OF electrocution. or in any
dsgres impair the already conclusive
evidence Of Its preference to hanging
in carrying out the death penalty. The
sudden giving out OF the dynamo so as to
prevent the second and deadly current
from being applied. left the doomed man
still alive. But he had lost all conscious
ness after the first contact OF 100 volts,
and all that would have happened to him
thereafter II the dynamo had not failed.
would have been painless
The unfortunate incident proves, in
deed, that all sense Of feeling Is extinct
after the first shock. and that death In
the electric chair Is therefore as painless
as 1t Is possible to make It. Neverthe-
less It Is unfortunate that this failure.
the first since the new law became op-
erative. should have occurred. There Is
something revolving in the thought OF
putting victim to all the horrors Of en-

afterwards. 1t IL to be hoped that no

The Governor admits that last
Wednesday there was danger of panic
on the market, but he believes that yes

for the change, In part. is the purchase
Of our securities by England at the
present low prices. and the disposition
OF men OF moderate means to make
small Investments in stocks. THE

1T DOESN'T LOOK LIKE wONAN.

Nobody can help looking with distrust
upon the communication received by
Gov. Flower. in which two Yates
County women ask him to give them
permission to wear trousers. They say
farm hands are scarce up their way,
and as they have to do a mans work
they want to wear the distinctly male
garment in doing 1t.
The letter Is a fake. sure as shooting
No woman who wanted to wear trousers
ould ask Gov. Flowers or President
Cleveland's or anybody else's permis-
sion to don them. Several thousand
years OF recorded history can be
thumbed back to show that when
woman made up her mind to wear pants
she generally pulled them on and gave
nobody the slightest bit Of thanks for
II either.
This Is too late q day for her to get
down on her knees and ask a mans per-
mission In this matter. The Governor
needn't blush ana look up the law on the
subject to ascertain his prerogatives with
regard to trousering the other sex. He
can throw this letter into his waste
basket and give It no thought. II a
woman had written to him for per1nis-
| sion to powder the end OF her nose or
to sit on the floor while putting on her
rying some over his treatment of the
request, but to wear pants-never. Some
body Is kidding" you. Governorl

PRESSING ONWARD,

France presses steadily on in her war
like designs against Slam. Notice has
been given of the blockade of the entire
north coast of the Gulf OF Slam. and
outgoing vessels have been notified that
they must clear from Bangkok and the
Gulf Island OF Koh-si- Chang before Sat-

to detention. 1t Is said to be the inten-
tion OF the French 10 attack Bangkok
and land some five thousand men.
The cable dispatches say that the pleas
Of the Siamese Government for peace are
wholly unheeded. and add that there can
be little hope that France will refrain
from extreme measures unless Britain
intervenes." Is there any indication that
the Intervention Of the English would be
any more effective than the pleadings
Of the Slamese in inducing France to

PARLIAMENT AND THE PRIZE RING.

the palm to the British. They have
beaten us In something at last. and we

Household Hints.

Sheets should be IA yards wide and
2 3-4 yards long after they are
hemmed.
The skins Of new potatoes can be re-
moved more quickly with a stiff vegs-
table brush than by scraping.
When putting away saucepans. pots
and boilers do not put the lids on
closely. or they will retain the heavy
odor OF cookery.
To revive and brighten leather wash
it with little warm water and
a very soft cloth. and afterwards
brush it over with the whites OF eggs
whipped to a light froth.
Tablc-cloths should be folded once only
for ironing. and that lengthwise. They
should be ironed with a very hot iron
until perfectly dry. and there is then
no danger Of a rumpled appearance
afterwards. They should be quite damp
and free from starch. Fold them loosely
crosswise. without ironing. and these
folds will be easily smoothed out with
the hand, leaving no crease but the mid
