Arraigned.


NEW YORK. Oct. 2s.-The committee of
seventy to-day issued a statement in reply
to Mayor Gilroy's defense of ammany in
which it arraigns Tammany Hall for NAL
feasance in the administration of municipal
affairs. 1t is signed by Joseph Laroque,
chairman, and John p. Faure, secretary.
Briefly this manifesto charges:
F1rst-That the organization of Tammany
is despotic, and is not in a proper sense a
poltical BODY, but constituted for Individual
gain.
Secondhand Tammany Hall has appoint
ed to important and responsible offices of
the city men dishonest and criminal.
Third-That under this administration sys-
tematical blackmail and extortion wrung
from the citizens many millions, and that
the expenses of the city government nave
constantly increased without any CORE
spending benefit to the community, quoting
from the comptroller report TO prove this
Fourth-That it has wasted public money
by extravaganza expenditure of funds raised
by taxation, quoting the increase during
the past three years. and the appropriation
for police and street cleaning departments
to substantiate the charge.
Fifth-That much of the increase of the
expenditure is due to dishonesty, supplies
being bought wastefully and extravagantly,
and names placed on the pay roll and money
paid for services never rendered.
S~ixth-That the dock department to which
the official head of Tammany Hall points
with satisfaction is an ever increasing
burden to the taxpayers. while it should be
a source OF large revenue.
Seventh-That also since the year 1884
the taxpayers have paid off $50, 900, 900 of
the city debt, yet at the present time that
debt is $500. coo more than in 1884.
~Eighth-That the taxpayers have been
called upon to bear greater burdens than
are shown by the tax levy and this state
ment of the public debt.
Ninth-That because of the extravaganza
In expenditure a comparison of London and
Paris with New York in regard to the tax
burden shows New York in an unfavorable
light.
Tenth-That because of Halls
ignorant and inefficient management we are
left far behind the other large cities In the
world In respect to the comfort and con-
veniences which all citizens have a right to
expect; further, charging that those i'm con-
troi of municipal affairs have failed to
provide proper and suitable accommodation.

R DENTISTRY.

81 vas called once to attend a horse
which was suffering from toothache,"
said a Philadelphia dentist. "The ami
NAL was in great pain, and when I ex-
amined his mouth he appeared to real
ize that it was my purpose to relieve
him, and he submitted to my handling
with cRlmness that was almost human.
I discovered a cavity in one Of the
back teeth, which was also badly
liberated at the root. I temporarily
relieved the pain, and next morning I
visited him again. He gave evidence
of pleasure at my approach, andI con-
cluded that I would attempt to fill the
tooth instead of removing it. This I
did, cutting away the diseased portion
and putting in a filing of cement, and
during the entire operation the horse
finched no more than a man would

HE WASN'T AN 'ORsE.

Several years ago an Englishman
with a guide was travelling through
Wyoming. Their route lay through a
miniature desert, and in riding across
this they were compelled to go nearly
all Of one afternoon without water.
The Englishman loudly complained
about the time between drinks being
so terribly long. He did nothing but
shift in the saddle and complain, and
the guide hada double reason for feeling
thankful when they reached a small
creek late in the afternoon. While he
was arranging to camp he told the
Englishman to go down to the creek
and he could get a drink. The English
man started out to do the bidding. He
walked down to the creek, and then
kept on walking. AS he walked along
the bank his tongue became more
parched every step, and he thought he
would die. Very fortunately, about
three miles from where he left the guide
he came to ranch. In a rasping voice
he was able to state his wants, and the
ranchmen gave him a drink of water.
After taking a long and earnest drink,
he broke out with:
"And 1 was most famished."
"Well, why didn't you go to the
creek and get a drink9"
But 1 had nothing to drink out Of. "
you could drink out of the creek,

NEED SLEEP.

Children, until they are IL or -
years old, should have atleast 10 hours
sleep; II is better; until Is or 10, nine
hours is none too much" writes Mrs.
Scovil, in the Ladies' Home Journal.
In this country our children inherit
nervous temperaments. No hygienic
measure soothes, quiets and strength
ems the nerves like plenty of sleep.
Children should never be awakened in
the morning. Yet the demands of
household convenience and the claims
of school make it necessary that they
should be out of bed at a certain hour,
usually not later than seven. To make
this possible and give them their fair
share of sleep, so that they will be
ready to awaken of their own accord,
they must be in bed between 8 and 10,
according to their ages. If bed time is
made pleasant to them, as mother love
can make it, with a story, a little talk
over the events Of the day, with loving
words and ministrations, the hardships
of Punishment to bed will be robbed of
most of it's bitterness.
