In New York there is a society COM
posed of a dozen unmarried women and
two widows. which has for its object
the determination Of all stray cats,
These ladies arm themselves with bas-
ket, a bit of cat meat and chloroform,
and prowl around tenement houses, cell
lars and like localities for starving cats,
whom they feed first and then kill.
Cats, they claim. lurking around in
these places are afflicted with eonsump-
ton, diphtheria and other diseases which
affiict human beings, and just now there
is great danger Of cats spreading the
cholera, should that disease appear. The
work undertaken by these women is
unique, and since several cases have
been cited where disease has been car
ried from child to child by pet cats. we
commend the work and would say to the
victim of the club, "Requiescar in pace"

Now it is proposed to raise fund for
the benefit Of the duke of Veragua, who
is said to be practically bankrupt. A
great many fool propositions may be ex-
pected to be sprung on an unsuspecting
public during the silly season. but it is
not at all probable that any will equal
this for downright imbecility. Still we
suppose the tuft hunters will carry out

would be to advise the duke to go to
work, earn some money and lift the
mortgages on his estates, like an Ameri-

The republican papers are having
hard time these days. They are
anxious for the repeal of the Sherman
act. and yet cannot quite reconcile them
selves 20 the idea of having that act re-
pealed by a democratic congress. But
as there will be nothing but a demo-
cratic congress for good many years
yet to come. the aforesaid republican
papers would probably do we'll to recon-
Gle themselves to the inevitable.

ried man who owns property in excess
of a certain amount is to have three
votes Graduates of colleges and uni
versities are to have two votes. The
system is based on the idea that suf-
frage is for the benefit of the community.
the object being to secure the greatest
welfare. 1t is assumed that voters will
be interested in the public welfare IN
proportion as they are affected by 1t. A
married man may very reasonably be
supposed TO be more interested than
single man because he has also the in
terests of his family to promote, and in
addition to that he cannot change his To-
cation so easily II the conduct Of the
government does not suit him. A per-
son OF large property may reasonably be
supposed to have more interest than one
with property, for he has more to pro-
tect and more to pay taxes on. A person
posed to have more interest than one
who is not educated because he has, usu-
ally, given public affairs greater atten-
ton, and understands them better, and
realizes their Importance more fully.
In this country there have always been
some states that required some educa-
tional qualifications, as for example Mas
sachusetts has required and still does.
that the voter should be able to read the
constitution of the state. The tendency
to adopt this qualification is growing,
especially in the South, where the desire
to be rio of the evil effects of the ig-
norant negro vote works in its favor.
Property qualification was an original
English requirement and was very gen.
eral in the colonies, but IT has now al
most universally disappeared. The fam
lily interest is recognized in the demand
for woman's suffrage, and the conces-
sion of it at several points in school cleo
lions, in which the family has spe-
cial interest. The experiment in Belgium
will therefore be watched with con-
siderable interest by Americans, and
striking results may fairly be expected
on account of the vast change the sys-
tenn makes in the suffrage Of that country
Heretofore Belgium has had only about
100, 900 voters. Under the new system she
will have about 1,20O,OOO and it is esti-
mated that the double voting will bring
the number of voters to about 100000.

The glorious Fourth. as we are wont
to call it nowadays. was generally and
generously observed throughout the
country this year. The pompous old
military and local soldiery display that
were the great features of the day
twenty-five years ago, have given way
to more enjoyable modes. We are not
so formal and solemn as the fathers
were, but we get more solid fun and
comfort out of the holiday than they
ever dreamed of. The fire cracker and
other more brilliant pyrotechnics en-
ployed by our youth yield an immense
amount Of enjoyment, although at the
cost Of an occasional finger and some
times, alas, at the cost of human life.
The social surroundings Of the occasion,
as illustrated by the quiet picnics and
family gatherings under the trees Of the
woods and along quiet streams, are all
commendable in their way and yield i'm
mense pleasure and enjoyment, and with
them all we do not forget what the day
means to every one OF us.

The announcement of the presidents
serious illness will cause grave concern
throughout the country, and give rise
to the universal hope that he may be
fully restored to health before the con-
vening Of congress. The universal con-
fidence in his desire to avert a further
financial crisis and his ability through
his keen foresight and sound judgment
to accomplish that end makes the pres
ent business situation much less serious
than it otherwise would be. The coun-
try at large feels that President Cleve-
lands wise counsels will prevail with
congress, and feels that with him in
Washington giving close attention to
the details of the administration and
aiding the leaders In congress by his
wise counsels all will soon be well.
Telegraphic advices give reasonable as
surance that the presidents indisposi-
ton will not be of long duration, and
certainly the public at large will earn
estly hope that this may be the case.

That is the logical outcome of this
whole lynching business. It's tolerance
means that society is retrograding; that
it is returning to the ideas of the dark
ages, on which we profess to look back
with so much horror. 1t is pity and
shame that this retrogression should
be most apparent in America, "the hope
of civilization" Yet it is a melancholy
fact that in no other country pretending
ito even standardization are such
atrocities perpetrated as that at Bard
well. Not even the Kurds and Bashi-
Bazonks, those human butcher birds of
Asia and Africa. have been guilty of
such fiendish cruelty.
Surely all America ought to hide its
head in shame. Surely this third in
cineration ought to awake the authorities
and the people to a sense OF their
degradation. Surely there ought to be
such an expression Of righteous popular
indignation and such a melting out Of
justice to these self-appointed execu-
TONERS as will make lynching an
obsolete crime, not only repugnant, but
dangerous TO practice.
The recent unconirmed report OF the
abdication of King George of Greece
and the formation of a republic, has
attracted more attention to the famous
little kingdom than it has received for
many years before. A writer in Gold
thwaite's Geographical Magazine says
the little kingdom embraces territory
of about $4,000 square miles and has a
population of little more than 100000
Greeks and Albanians. Scotland has
about the same territory and almost
twice as many people. Switzerland has
a third less territory and third more
people. Belgium and Holland taken to-
gether have about the same territory as
Greece and five times as many people. AS
for wealth Greece is proverbially the
poorest country in Europe. Her rugged
mountains and barren shores are hard
ly fit in many places for the scantiest
vegetation; she has no rivers with fer
tile banks; her commerce is still unde-
veloped, and she is cut off from Europe
by the treacherous Adriatic and the in
hospitable strip of Turkish territory that
promises to keep her for an indefinite
future from opening her railroad connec-
ton with the north. In Greece today says
a recent writer, it is the universal Gus
tom to speak of going to Europe" just
as Americans do with the stormy At
lantic between New York and Liverpool.
Add to all this the fact that this little
barren kingdom Of 100000 souls has a
public debt of sSO,0OO,OOO and supports
an army as large as the United States.
The tax IS are so high that the island of
Crete, now under Turkish rule, would
nearly double it's ratio of taxation should
it enter the kingdom of Greece. But in
spite Of all this Encouragement Athens
today is busy hive of educational in
situations and in all the country villages
there are thrifty schools, a compulsory
law being carried out with more vigor
year after year. Ten years ago the
statistics of illiteracy in Greece were
ahead of those in Italy today and these
ten years have revolutionized education
al affairs in Greece.

Care of Railroad Tracks.

are many things TO look after, and II any Que of
them Is neglected the track suffers in tile same
degree. One OF the most difficult things a
trackmaster has to do Is TO keep the track
properly drained, and it Is well known
among the men who have had charge of
such work that dollar spent for keeping
water out of the track is regarded with
more disfav0r than a dollar Of water i'm
the stock. Sometimes it takes considerable

the chances are hat water has had some thing

track. He found, from one to three feet
below the ballast, alternate layers of Ice

II the story told by Mrs. Eda McLane,
2037 Mission street, be true the festive
footpad Is developing into contemplate
cur.
Her mother. who lives at 14h Hoff av-
enue, small street running from Six
teenth and Seventeenth and between
Valencia and Mission. is sick. and on
Friday night Mrs. McLane. who had been
nursing her, left for her own home to get
some articles.
She was returning about half-past IL
O'Clock, and when she reached the corner
of Sixteenth street and Hoff avenue she
was confronted by two men.
One of them, the younger of the two, put
his hand on her shoulder and said, "Wait
moment" He wheeled her around and
told her quietly but firmly not to scream
Then the other man put his hand 10 the
pocket of her ulster and took out her
purse, which contained SIC.
Now then," said the elder OF the two,
don't scream or make noise and you
will not be harmed. Now. just kindly
walk on"
Mrs. McLane says she was too fright
ened to scream. and the two men had
quietly disappeared in the darkness before
she fully realized that she had been robbed,
IL was done so quickly and so nicely.
Yesterday morning she reported the rob-
berry to Policeman Clifford and he reported
it 10 Sergeant Murphy at the Seven teenth-
street station. who in turn notified police
headquarters. She described the men as
follows: No. about 23 years of age, dark
mustache, feet 10 inches in height, and
wore dark sack coat light-colored tight
pants and soft felt hat. No. about 50
years OF age. stout build, 5 feet inches
tall, and wore dark suit of clothes.
Detective Dan COffey was detailed on the
case, and the story told to him was to the
same effect as that told to Policeman Cliff
ford.
Policeman Lewis says that he was stand
ing at the corner OF Valencia and Sixteen tn
streets from IL 10 to IL As on Friday night
within a quarter of block of where the
robbery is said to have taken place, and
that he did not observe any suspicious
characters around.
if the robbery had taken place, he SAYS,
II Is very strange that it escaped bis OBJ
servation. Besides he says that there is
fruitstore at each corner of Hoff avenue
and Sixteenth street and that both were
open when he passed them at a quarter to
u, and that while he was standing on the
corner IF Valencia and Sixteenth streets
he saw several people going out and in
both stores.
Policeman Winsler, whose beat is on the
opposite side of Sixteenth street, says tn at
he was near the scene of the reported
robbery about the time it is said to have
occurred, but that he did not see two men
luitering around.
But still Mrs. McLane positively asserts
she was held up and robbed, and she tells
consistent story.

On Harrison street. near Spear, and al
the southwest corner of Harrison and
Spear streets Haslett & Bailey have
taken possession of the sidewalks and
generously enough allowed the pubic use
OF few feet OF space near the curb. In

facing on Harrison street, have been piled
up for a year or more tiers of pipes and
railroad iron. The owners of the material

The accompanying cut shows the condi-
ton of the street at the point named. An
alleyway about one yard in width is left
for pedestrians and the side ewalk is prac-

AT the main warehouse opposite the
corner of Spear street is piled mound of
firebrick, which leaves about six feet of
margin for foot passengers. Is the Has
lett & Bailey Company storing these
bricks for nothing? If not. would it not
be well to turn in some OF Its profits 10

Beale street above Bryant is partly
