LEASES AND REPAIRS.
Peculiar Rrics Laid own for the Tenants
OF the Astors.

Peculiar Rries Laid = own for the Tenants
OF the Astors.
Some Of the rules by which the ten
ants of the Astors are bound are curl
GUS. For instance, says the New York
sun, although they will make almost
any repairs that tenant suggests be-
fore the lease is signed, even though
the repairs may cost more than the
rental, they viii not spend cent on
the property during the existence of
the lease. A lady who rented a house
in Forty-fifth street from the Astors
was told that she could have any re-
pairs or alterations she wished, but no
chandeliers. She had the house deco
rated from top to bottom, and many
expensive repairs made, and there was
not II remonstrance. but she had to
supply all the chandeliers, at cost OF
sixteen hundred dollars, herself. OF
course, they remain her property, and
she can take them away when she
moves.
A curious incident is related by an
other tenant in Forty-fourth street.
She leased a house at rental of two
thousand dollars for one year. When
she came to renew the lease for an
other year she was informed that the
rent would be only eighteen hundred
dollars. She was told by somebody
who pretended to know that the rcduc-
ton was due to a deterioration in the
value of the property, and that the
Astors did not want more than GER
tain interest on it. That, however,
was not true, as was learned upon in
quiry at the Office of the Astor estates.
The clerks there said that the rcduc-
tion was due simply to the fact that
during the first year they had charged
percentage for repairs and changes.
AS none was required the second year
the percentage was taken off. Never
theless, it remains the fact that the re-
duction was voluntary, and to the ten
ant unexpected.

GLORY SURPRISING soLoMoN's
London's Lord Mayor Is a Gorgeous Crea-

ture While Arrayed u His Robes.
The fountain of municipal honor in
England, says the London Telegraph,
undoubtedly springs from the Guild
hall, London, which justly claims to be
accounted the most ancient of our
municipal halls, seeing that the lord
mayors of the last eight centuries are
with justice assumed to, have proto-
types In the Roman project and the
Saxon fortreye or port rave. For n
considerable number OF years the robes
of the lord mayor, the court "a alder
men and the common coaa3i, lrl have
been settled with n precision that none,
save the most reckless OF innovators,
would presume to disturb. The lord
mayor himself has his gold" robe for
the annual Guildhall banquet and for
the times when he proceeds in state
either to the new law courts or 20
the houses of parliament. The alder
men have their scarlet gowns, the
shcriifs their distinctive and very
handsome robes and chains, while the
common councillors rejoice in gowns
called ''mazarines," it being generally
understood that mazarine is a term for
dark blue color, although, according
to some photographers, mazarine also
means drinking vessel and an old
way of dressing fowls. Then, again,
when The sovereign comes into the city
the lord mayor is bound to don robe
of crimson or purple velvet. trimmed
with crmine. At the time of his in
vcstiture, he wears a massive gold
chain. but when he is honorcd by re-
election at the expiration of his term
of Office he wears two chains. The
mace of silver gilt, surmounted by a
royal crown and the imperial arms, is
carried before the mayor by the au-
thority of the charter of Edward ILL.,;
while the city possesses no less than
four swords, one called the Pearl"
presented by Queen Bess when she
opened the first royal exchange, and
SO called from its being richly set with
pearls. This sword precedes the chief
magistrate on all occasions of rejoic-
ing and festivity. The sword of state
is carried before the lord mayor as an
emblem of his sovereignity within the
city proper; the "blacls" sword is used
on fast days in Lent and at the death
of any member of the royal family;
while the fourth sword is that placed
close to the lord mayors chair at the
central criminal court

A RACE OF TooTHLsss MEN.

Coming Generations VIII Have to Masti-
cate by Artificial Means.
There is reason to apprchend that
unless some cataclysm occurs to arrest
the proSxcss of civilization our de-
sccndan " till be as toothless us Eu-
roptolcmt1s king of Cyprus, described
BY the hStorian Pliny as reduced to
masticate his food with structure of
solid bone, in lieu of teeth. This, at
any rate, in the opinion of the New
York Tribune. is the inference to be
deducted from the statistics recently
published by order of the British par
Lament, demonstrating the alarming
ly small number Of caccs of in any way
sound dcntition among the English
people. OF 1900 children attending
the Lcndon public schools. there were
only 707 who had sound teeth: while
during period of three months 500 re-
cruits were rejected by the medical de-
partmcnt of the army for purely den
tai reasons. CT course, part of this
state of affairs Is due to neglect of the
digestion, and of the teeth themselves,
n fact demon %tratcl by the statement
that all the Sirls who entered domestic
service from thc Lordon public schools
last year Evc-3i2tts had never even
heard of such Il thing as toothbrush
an assertion that has led the cduca-
tional authorities to institute IN many
of the metropolitan schools what is
now known Us the Toothbrush drill"
Decay of teeth has always attended
the advance of civilization and cash
barbaric invasion has been followed
by recovery OF sound teeth in the
old world. Under the circumstances it
might be worth while to consider
whether the repeal of the Geary law
and the opening up of the United
States to "a pacific invasion on the part
of the Chinese might not go far to inn
prove the American jaw, which, ac-r
cording to medical experts, is in an
immeasurably worse condition than
that of the English-a fact probably
due to our superior civilization.

A Jury on n Strike.

The most remarkable case in Texas
legal history was tried recently at
Oakland before Justice English-Mrs.
Ella Holloway VS.. ]. II. Van Alstync,
says Houston correspondent of the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat The case
consumed the day and was given to
the jury at night. Before retiring the
jury demanded that each man be paid
his fifty-cent fee. The Justice de-
murred and ordered them to bring q
verdict or they would get no fee. The
jury retired and in fifteen minutes en-
tered court They had n sealed verdict.
Before turning 1t over TO the justice the
jury struck for their hard-earned fees.
Under protest the justice gave each
juror fifty cents. lie opened the verdict,
which read: "The jury cannot agree"
This enraged the court. He demanded
the fifty cents each juror had been
paid. The jury refused and the court
ordered them locked up until verdict
was given pro or con. After being out
another hour the jury reported that
they were still unable to agree. Judge
English then demanded the return of
the fees. The jurors refused to sur
render and fine of two dollars and
fifty cents each was assessed and their
incarceration ordered. A compromise
was finally reached by four of the jury
returning the fees and the other two
paying the finb of two dollars and fifty
cents. The higher courts will he in
flicted with the case.
