One Hold OF Coal n Day.

When I hear that pieces OF bread can
not be toasted. nor the cup of soup bel
warmed because the fire has Just beeu|
fixed" writes a woman in Household
News. I know that the cook has let tho
fire burn down to the last bar of ths|
crate, and then 1t is necessary to put in|
a bundle Of kindling and empty a whole
scuttle of coal on the living embers. By
such management much time is lost
and much Goa wasted. One hod OF coal
is sufficient to do the cooking for a good
sized family in n day. If hot water
is required sometimes a second hod ID
necessary to heat the water for tho
house. One thing must be remembered
the fire should be raked morning and
night and the stove kept closed whes|
using n the upper %draughts open when|
the stove is not in use, so that the cold
air striking the Goals may prevent the
rapid burning.

POOR OLD COMFY.

Mayor Schieren, Of Brooklyn, yester-
day lighted his lantern and went on an
exploring expedition to his new baili-
wick OF Coney Island. He has made
some discoveries that have doubtless ex-
cited his wonder. and has noted some
matters requiring prompt remedial at
t%entioii. But what n change will come
over old Coney's dream II the Mayoralty
intentions are carried out.
One startling fact was developed. A
visit to the new police station. which
has already cost a great deal Of money,
disclosed to Mayor Schieren that no
provision whatever has been made in
the structure for prisoners. Under the
%v!rtuous rule OF Mr.. McKane. now of
Sing Sling. 1t was evidently the belief
that II would not be necessary to de-
prive anybody OF his liberty.
In the old police station a cell was
found In which Col. Bacon had been
confined. n its condition reminded the
Mayor OF "mediaevaBtimes." and made
him sigh to think of the sufrerings the
gallant Colonel must have undergone.
The Mayor was shocked at the Bow
cry. He had never been there before.
and he came to the conclusion that II
/" should be obliterated as soon as pos,
sible,' since there is no feature to com.
mend It to any one who v law and

SO must the prize-fghts at the Casino.
Alas, poor. knocked-out Coney Island

THRIFTY OF HIS HUMOR.

Mr.. Frank r. Stockton, who makes
hts living by humor, In the course OF
an address at the annual dinner OF the
Authors Club last night got OFF moth
ing new except the old joke about
authors not having to read each others
books, and how sweet life was to the
man of letters who could own a library
and look at its beautiful bindings with
a delightful consciousness that he did
not have to soil them for the purpose
of getting at their contents.
OF course. we understand that Mr..
Stockton sells all his fun-it Is pretty
good fun, too-and 1t Is rather unreason-
able to expect him to give away Jokes
to fellow-authors who pay him nothing
for his annual dinner remarks: but when
a man of genius aspires to appear pleas
ant and happy IN his prandial patter, II
seems foolish and unfeeling for him to
20 back to the Herculaneum of jokery
and dig up such ar old lava-incrusted
gag as that which IS here quoted. Why
didn't he try To disguise the dear old
mummy of merriment, by giving a I'm
dc-sieCle twist To its toggery? Antique
jokes have to be up-to-dated now or
they don't go.
II was really a shame for Mr.. Stockton
to disturb "A debilituted bit OF pleasantly
like this. 1t puts him on IA par with the
journalist al the Press Association din

cred, time-grimed chunk OF perslnagc
about newspaper mcu living without eat
ing, and hufeting their way through lie

utIve Committee and the Committee on

the finance Committee named In the
person of John McQuade.
The selection Of McQuade is said TO
be a makeshift In the interest of the
Gilroy-Croker dynasty. McQuadc has
no qualifications for the leadership Of
Tammany Hall, and will merely be
placed in the position of Chairman Of
the Finance Committee to guard the
financial secrets OF the bosses.

he says 1t is voluntary, II Is believed
that he was forced out, thrown over

otherwise. Is n virtual acknowledgement
that Tammany sees defeat ahead.
