1t Is not much. The Greater New York
bill when 1t becomes a law viii simply
enable the people to say whether they
want or do not want the proposed CON
sOlidatlon OF the municipalities. There
will be much hard work to do after that.
Yet the passage Of the bill In the AS
semhly yesterday will be hailed with
general satisfaction as u step in the
direction of the reation OF what is des-
tined TO be the greatest metropolis in
the world.
The passage OF the bill is a victory for
home rule. II gives the people "A voice in
their own affairs. The proposition for a
vote on the question Is SO unquestionably
just that II is difficult TO see how any
fair-minded man could ave opposed II.
Yet Tammany defeated 1t a year ago,
although this year, through ~ex-SpeakeI

turn the compliment by saying ''The AS

MIsAPPR0PRIATINa THE FUND.

The object was to supply work to the

ployment.
one million dollars IL not much when
sixty-seven thousand people are idle.
But 1t would supply more than five
thousand five hundred laborers with work
for ninety days at two dollars a day each.
1t Is to be hoped that in the next ninety

much improved tina most of the idle
will have found employment.
If the greatest amount OF good is to
be done with the money for those for
whose relief from suffering It was appro-
priated 1t must be expended with strict
honesty and economy. 1t Is to be re-
GREETED that the first use the Park Board
mas made of II has been to create Il fat

TO KEEP HIS FAMILY ALIVE.
why Meyer N~nrl<owitx stole Meat
from n Rcfrigerator.

Meyer MurkowitZ, n tailor, thirty
years old, of 100 Willis street, was ar
rested ut 100 o'clock this morning in the
act OF stealing meat from n refrigerator
In an arelway at 1915 Grand street.
The refrigerator had been rihed four
times during the past week. and Police
man Mahoney, who made the arrest, has
been on the lookout for the thief. The
box belonged to n family of the name %
BaChrOCh.
At the Delaney street station Marko-
he had been driven to the theft because
he could find no work. His family con-
slsts of his wife, Lena. two children,
Max, one year old. and Betsy, three
years, and n niece. Bertha MuskOwitz.
MarkowitZ has had no work in three
months, and during the last five weeks
has not had one cent of money with
which 10 procure the necessities Of life.
During all that time there has been no
coal in the house. and the family has
suffered from the cold.
Mrs. Markowitz was nearly heart
broken when told of her husbands ar
rest. The rooms in which she lives on
house are neat and clean, and the
woman said she and her husband had
battied brHvely to keep the wolf from
the door. Her husband mad been II plen,

There are many curious uses for fans
In Japan. The umpire at wrestling and
fencing matches uses n heavy one,
shaped like a huge butterfly, the handle
being the body, and rendered imposing
by heavy cords OF silk. The various mo-
ions of the fan constitute a language
which the wrestlers fully understand and
appreciate. Formerly in time of war the
Japanese commander used a large fan
having a frame of iron covered with
thick paper. In case of n charge 1t
could be shut, and a blow from its iron
bones was no light affair. one notable
variety of fan IL made of waterproof
paper, which can be Dipped in water, and
creates great CoUlness by evaporation,
without wctting the clothes. The fiat
fan, made of rough paper, Is often used
as a grain winnow, to blow the charcoal
fires and as a dustpan. The Japanese
gentleman of the old school, who never
wears a hat, uses his fan to shield his
eyes from the sun. His head, bare from
childhood, hardly needs shade, and when
it does he spreads an umbrella, and with
his fan he directs his servants and saves
talking.

To Reduce Flesh.

The best, safest n most permanent
way to reduce flesh is a course of physt-
cal training in some gymnasium, con-
Quoted by n conscientious and intelll-
gent physician. Fat is 60 per cent
water; friction or exertion will promote
perspiration and heat, in the process of
which the adipose tissue will be burnt up
and thrown off in the form of moisture.
Fat people who wish to get slight must
quit drinking, as all liquid foods are fat
producing. AS fat is lazy matter, activ-
ity will tend towards its reduction.
Every rational person can devise exer-
cises suitable to her convenience, but
care should be taken not o tax the ply
steal strenth. Precipitation must be
promoted, but exhaustion avoided.
