Not So Fast.

The New York Tribune reports. an,
anecdote told by a Washington gentle
man. concerning a city, historically, ia
mous3 which need not been named, here:
It has 'fallen behind the procession"
as the current phrase is, and t,iss by
no means increasing rapidly in,popnla--
tom Said the Washington man tonthe
reporter:
I went over to one evening: to.
make a call. It was dark and I couldn't,
see the numbers on the houses. After.
a time i noticed a middle-aged. man,
smoking+a pipe on the front steps Of, q.
house few doors away. -,
Il beg =pardon,' said I, "but will you
kindly. tell me which way the numbers
run on-:this street?'
He took the pipe out Of his MOUTH,
slowly knocked out the ashes, and said:
Just got to town?'
WELL yes" I answered, taken by,
"ENeninh boat?'
Yes
What number yer lookin' for?"
''Forty-nine."
::the. other side, four doors be-
low*'''
I thanked him and turned to 60.
Hold orzza minute" he called. "Whatt
did you say about numbers runnin,:?''
We'll, they don't rum" he rejoined;
they don't even walk. There haint.
nothin'. runs in this town sence the
war"

n Postal Card which Reached Tts
Foreign Destination After q; Long
Mckay.
A postal card which has been to
EazroUe and come back has just been
tanned in at the postofHce department.
En- Washington, to give the officials
etasre q chance of discovering who is
GesEansible for it's long delay in trans
sFzzss5an- It was mailed in Washing
6aR late in December, 1881, addressed
to bookseller in London, directing
hIn1 to send to the writer q large num-
her Of books which were even then suf-
1eaezatIy rare not to be readily accessi-
ale *, this country. The card reached
tits destination late in May, 1892. The
Bookseller, apparently without MOTTO
ans the disparity between the date
written on the card and the date of
receipt, filed the order, after taking
time to hunt up the books, which,
dn the course Of tea years interval,
sszzsa grown still rarer. The surprise
Of the author Of the card may be mag
aned when, so long after having con-
GEuied that the dealer could lot fill
nEs order, he suddenly had this large
supply Of literature dumped upon him
eroEn the postotHce. When he charged
GRe dealer with neglect, the date OF the
-aHd appears to have been examined
GoE the first time; but it was pleaded
eilat q dealer would be justified in
Filling such an order in spite of the an
s14slity of the written date, because he
Eouid have a right to assume that his
customer had himself been careless
ahaut dating the card, 8 slip Of the pen
"zaaakz7sg 1891 read 1881. The New
York Evening Post thinks hat the
card must have got into the old post
ofEaee in Washington, been postmarked
azzd then lost slipping possibly into
ane OF the many cracks and erlnnies
OF that Office. When the office was
noved from its old and shabby quar-
eeEs into the building it row occupies
ssaz2e one doubtless came across the
card, and, not noticing its date, dropped
Ut into a mail bag bound for London
Tue responsibility for the accident is
obviously past fixing, and the book
seller in London and his customer in
America viii have to settle their dis
pzzbe without the assistance OF the post

OF them would not if they could
and without party workers il is as
impossible to have a party as it is to
have an army without c%orporals and
s%ergeants. We believe the gentle men
who met at Roche's Hall last night
can do inan lite good by agitation, by
exercising moral pressure, by helping
to lash the ringsters out of public
life, but, frankly. We ha re IS little
confidence in their ability to do the
great work required today as we have
in the Central Democratic Committee
itself.
But if we regard with doubt
the efforts of both elements that have
undertaken the work of reform, 1t
may be asked what do we want, where
do we see an opening for the future.
We reply, in the State party organi-
zation. We believe the work should
be Initiated by the State Committee.
A State Convention should be called
for this and other purposes, and On
the floor OF that Convention should
be named a Provisional County Com
mittee, a Committee On Reorganiza-
ton, which should have arbitrary
powers to reconstruct the regular"
party in this county, mol only by lay
ing down laws and rules but also by
debating the personnel OF the first
supreme body or executive committee.
1t should also conduct the first pri-
maries held under the new system
and generally supervise the formation
of the district and precinct organ
izations. (
We believe that this plan of calling
in the aidsof the State party organ
ization would win the confidence Of
the voters. We believe it would se-
sure a real reform and yet keep the
working element of the party in har-
ness. We believe it would bring vic
tory next spring mi next fall and
would result in the complete rescue
Of the party from the slough into
which selfishness and corruption have
sunk it.

MRS. FLINT VERY FIERY.
Told Senator DAILY Her Business
Was None Of dis BUSH
ness.

When Mrs, Flint stepped onto the stand
yesterday afternoon in Chancery Cham
bers to tell what she knew about the
intimacy OF Louis Stein aud Mrs. Joerns,
who is being sued by her husband for
divorce IN statutory grounds, everybody
expected a lively tilt between her and
Senator DAILY, counsel for Mr.. George
Joerns. They were not disappointed
Mrs. Flint had rooms at PAL Bloomfield
street, Hoboken, at the same time Mrs.
Joerns lived there. The house was owned
by Mrs. Annie Rowland. That lady on
Monday testified that Mrs. Flint and Mrs.
Joerns DIR ank a great deal of beer, and in
n of their bouts overturned a lamp and
nearly set the house on fire. For this, and
other reasons, the landlady gave them
notice to leave or fired theln.n as Mr..
DAILY more graphically put it.
Counselor Besson led his witness
gently over the dangerous ground and
excellent woman; never drank beer except
at meal times, worked hard with q sewing
machine. although the landlady, never
heard 1t going, and if Mr.. Stein did call
frequently, everything was perfectly pros
per. As for Mrs. Rowland, Mrs. Flint
said, "She was q person OF low tastes and
drank too much and was far beneath her

None Of your business snapped Mrs.
Flint, in tones as hard as her name.
You and he are ~separatediu queried
the counsellor.
MIR. DAILY, that's hone of your bust
ness" the witness retorted.
While Mr.. DAILY was asking scar hing
questions as to dates of MIR. STEMS visits,
Mrs. Joerns, who was sitting next to her
counsel, established a code Of Geographic
signals with Mrs. Flint and whispered
the desired information. The lawyer ap-
pealed to Vice Chancellor Pitney, who
sternly babe Mrs. Joerns to keep still and
desist from whispering or she must leave
the ROOM.
Then the Vice Chancellor took a hand
with Mrs. Flint and asked her if she did
not think it strange for Mr.. Stein to pay SO
many visits to a married woman apart
from her husband. Mrs. Flint didn't.
DR.. Chabert of Hoboken, Mrs. Ashbok,
C. J. Vanderhoerst and Albert Munche
gave testimony as to the absence of any
im%proprieties between Mr. Stein and Mrs.
Joerns. m
The Vice Chancellor not having time to
devote to the case today the hearing was
adjourned until January 1S,, when Mrs.
Joerns and Mr. Stein will give their side
of the story. 491sm& 9a9
