"MUDDER SAYS 'TAINT RIGHT"
A Shabby Trick Played on Little
Johnny Dougherty, a Newsboy.


''Say. mister. my name is in de papers dis
mornin' and my mudder says faint right"
The speaker was little fellow dressed
in suit of gray, who entered the editorial
room of THE CALL last night. His bright,
black eyes snapped as he spoke and his
cheeks were the color of the red red rose.
He was excited and did not seem to care
who knew it.
"Taint right, mister" said he, and his
words were echoed by half a dozen COM
Danions who had accompanied him to "tell
the newspaper man that he wasn't the boy"
What is the occasion of your complaint ?"
was asked. Let me see what it is that is
not right and he was handed copy of
the paper.
The head Of the little complainant came
a little above the desk. and he started to
find certain item. In this work he was
assisted by his companions, eXclaiming that
he knew just where 1t was.
Each stroye to be the first to show the
Item, and there was confusion for few
moments, when suddenly the first speaker
laid a chubby index finger on paragraph
headed. IAN IncOrrigiDle Boy" This was
to the effect that John Dougherty. II years
old, of Everett street, had been arrested for
idling away his time and had been sent to
reformato7y.
My names John Dougherty and live
on Everett street, but [ amt the boy" said
the little one who first smoke.
''And know he amt" remarked each of
his companions.

arrested ?"

dey'd send him farder, so he give In my
name so they wouldn't know him; that's
what's de matter, mister, and my mudder
says 'tant right"
Wen swear to it," said Johnny's COM
panions in chorus.
Little johnny. who goes to school during
the day and III the evening sells papers, was
informed that he could go home and tell his
mother that he would be set right in the
morning, whereupoD he turned, saving:
Now my mudder'n say dat's right. Tank

BURNED THE MORTGAGE.
The Franklin Street Presbyterian
Church Free From Debt

The Franklin Street Presbyterian
Church Free From Debt.
A very pleasant entertainment was given
at the FraDklin-street Presbyterian Church
last evening In spite of the bad weather
large crowd was present.
The event of the evening was the burning
of mortgage, recently held by the Savings
and Loan Society for $500 IN the church
property.
NJ. j. Graves. treasurer, read paper on
the many difficulties which the trustees
found in raising the necessary funds, after
which the document was placed on a plate
and j. G, Wiester, president Of the board of
trustees, applied the match. There was a
flame, little smoke and the mortgage was
no more.
Rev. DIR. Nichols of the First PRESBYTERIAN
Church and Rev. John Quincy Adams made
short addresses. Several we'll rendered
solos and choir selections followed. The
congregation is much elated over the release
Of the property, and will endeavor to keep

THE STATE CAPITAL.
What Charles p. Kearney of Los
Angeles Saws of II.

AHSSISo OSg y vi Ils
Charles P. Keerney. the weIl-kuown Los
Angeles politician, said yesterday, after his
return from Sacramento, that il the people
of this State will vote to remove the capi-
tai to San Jose he believed that all the talk
of State division will cease as far as
Southern California is concerned.
1--WE will build coast line direct from
Los Angeles to San Jose if that city is the
State capital OF the future, and we wiH be
as near to the head center as we want to
be-" Mr.. kearney said, and then he added
that. In his opinion, formed by being right
on the ground, the movement of changing
the capital was not the result of any spon-
taneous action on the part OF the Legisla-
ture.
When at the last election Sacramento
voted II 10 against extending the term of
the Legislature from sixty TO ninety days
the people up there plainly declared it to be
their opinion that they did not desire any
prolonged stay of the statesmen among
them," said the Los Angeles politician.

Growth of Electric Traction.
ST. Louis Globe-Democrat


The growth of electric traction in this
country is one OF the most marvellous de-
velopments OF the century. A leading street
railway journal draws attention to the fact
that in the past five years the mileage of
street railways operated by electricity has
increased from 90 miles to over 5000 miles.
which is greater mileage than that of ali
the other street railways in the country
operated by both animal and other forms Of
motive power. OF this large total nearly
one-third was built in 1892. No estimate has
yet been given of the aggregate increase in
value in suburban property that has been
improved by the running of new electric
The morning call., 1893-03-24

lines, but the amount must be enormous, as
a large proportion Of late installations have
been in suburban districts. particularly in
the East In July, 1890. the street railway
mileage of the country was $3.50 miles; at
the present time it reaches a total of II, ,655
miles, or an increase of 5000 miles in the
past two and a half years. In 1892 there
was an additional increase of 1906 miles.
Some of these lines have been introduced
in the most crowded parts of large cities,
where it is admitted that cable traction
would be more economical. The reason for
this lies probably in the fact that it would
be far less economical to change from cleo
trio to cable power simply for the short
distance than to retain the system already
in operation.

MANY people have an idea that the
members Of the Legislature are sent
to Dover for the purpose of framing
bills, and making all the changes re-
quired in our laws for better gov
ernment of the people. This is a
mistake. The average Senator and
Representative is not capable of
framing an act on a common sub
ject, let alone looking into the bear
ings Of an act on the public matters
relative to finances or economic gov
ernment. The special province Of
member of the General Assembly of
Delaware is to act upon the meas
ures proposed by the advanced think
srs-in fact they hear the evidence
for ard against the subject under
discussion and decide by that as to
its desirability as to law. To those
who think that all kinds of reforms
should be made,we suggest that they

lar interests and present them to the
Legislature and cease blowing about
reform.
