Just an Incident of New York.

n hand-orSan was responsible the
other day for an accident a display Of
GOODNESS and courage, and exchange
of courtesies and, what always de-
lights Americans, because it eXcites
them, a thrilling scene. A horseback
rider, coming down Riverside drive at
Il sharp trot, turned into West
Seventy street. Down West
End avenue rolled handsome vic
toria, in which We're a man and Il
woman. In Seventy-second street,
east of West End avenue, stood Il son
of Italy, grinding out his tunes from
Il cabinet organ on wheels. The vic
toria came around into Seventy-sec-
ond street just in time to be slightly
in advance of the horseman. His
Stced was a spirited one. and only the
firm hand on the reinS kept it in
check. The rider had just come
abreast of the victoria when his steed,
alarmed by the organ. gave sudden
plunge to the left, and crashed into
the victoria. TO those who saw the
leap and heard the noise it seemed as
il the horse had gone clear through
the carriage, and then they saw that
the steed was riderleSs and plunging,
while the woman in the carriage was
screaming loudly.
In the next instant there arose from
between the victoria and the frenZied
stcrd the horseman, clinging to his
horses bride. He had been hurt
when he was thrown or knocked
off. Only the condition of his clothes
showed it, for he was as calm and
Self-possesSed as if in a drawing ROOM
With one hand he brought his plung-
ing animal to it's feet. and with the
other he raised his hat as he pecred
into the victoria and offered his apOl-
Ogies and regrets for the accident The
woman had ceased to scream. and the
three characters of this little drama
exchanged Il few polite words. Then
again the two men lifted their hats in
parting salute. the coachman of the
victoria drove on. and the horScman.

OCCUPATIONS FOR GIRLS.
Parents Advised to Teach Them Use
full Things.

With the widening of the avenues
of employment for women there should
be more painstaking care upon the
part of parents to provide against flu
lure contingencies by so educa ting
every girl in some useful or suitable
employment that she could take care
of herself in case of necessity. Be
cauSe there are so many more things
Il woman may do in these later days
there - less excuse for neglect Every
woman should be a capable house
Keeper. SO much is rudimental. But
it is never quite certain until the mar
"age day may have been set whether
4 girl is destined to be her own house
Keeper. Too often it happens, even
;hcn. that marriage proves Il failure;
and the wife, discovers. too late for
remedy. that, instead of being cher
ished and supported she must sup
port herself and bear UP under what
ever additional burden the marriage
relation may thrust upon her. Happy.
then, the woman who in her youth
may have acquired that mastery OF
her hands which will enable her to
earn her bread and assure her own
Independence and usefulness in spite
u ill-lUEtuue.
Nothing is more pitiable than the
cases of gentlewomcn. brought up in
luxury and gcnteel idlcnesS. who in
;hcir mature years are compelled to
depend upon their own eXertiOnS for
! velihood. What can they do? They
neither know how to teach. nor to
cook. nor to spin. nor to scrub. They
are incapacitated for any usefulness
which they might exchange for bread
and butter.
Girls must be provided with occu-
pations Money is no sure resource.
Marriage often proves a delusion and
Il snare. There is no surety except in
Il knowledge of the means Of sclf-Sup-
port. Parents who give to Their
daughters such knowledge do better
Than to give them houses and lands.
What they may know is Il possession
of which they cannot be deprived. If
every girl born into the world for one
generation could be assured of such
capability as would enable her to
make her own way in lfe by means
of some useful employment. long
step would have been taken toward
the remedy of many social evils

or with adaptations from Historical sources.
The underskirt, however. will retain its

Delay Destroys Values.

Business men of all parties con-
cur in the demand for CELEBRITY OF
action on the Wilson bill. IL it
were equally certain that they would
rebuke every politician who helps to
postpone the decision, they could
obtain what they pray the Senate
to grant. The confidence Of Sher-
man and Aldrich in the blind par
tisanship of Republican merchants
and farmers induces them to snap
their fingers at petitions and obey
the lobbyists employed by a few
trusts.
Republican Senators are going to
delay the bill for two political rea-
sons. One is the lobby and its
campaign contributions. The other
is the prolongation Of depression
so that the effects will operate
against the party in power next fall.
It would not do for them to allow
a trade revival to become an argu-
ment in favor of tariff reform.

Business men will not regard the
statement as too sweeping when
we say that there has never been
an important measure which less
required extended debate than the
Wilson bill.
Without doubt they will concede
that no tariff change was ever be-
fore presented at time when the
interests of the country were so af-
flicted by delay.
Will they remember next fall
who caused the. evils of the past
year, and who insisted on prolong-
ing uncertainty at an awful sacri-
fee of the country's wealth of trade
and protectionp
Most of the trade stagnation was
due to the restrictions and inter-
ferences of the Mckinley tariff,
added to the bad condition of the
Treasury, which excited doubts
about the ability of the Government
to protect its currency.
All that was the direct work of
Republican politics.
Before the LIST of February the
Wilson bill would have become a
law if Republican politics had not
fought for delay in the House and
declared its purpose of delay in the
Senate.
Instead of a spring revival, the
Republicans will have the poorest
spring in business that their power
for harm will let them impose upon
the merchants and farmers.
This is Republican politics, and
for the future influence of business
on legislation, the business men of
the whole nation ought to show
that they are not to be made both
victims and dupes.
1t will be interesting to watch
the attitude of business men toward
their enemies in the Senate. If
they take the insult and injury
meekly they will encourage a sys-
TEN of politics which makes them
the playthings of demagogues.-

Telephones for Everybody.

The expiration of the patent on
the magnet telephone places a very
useful piece of mechanism at the
free disposal of American house
holders. Magnet telephones are
not commonly used as transmitters,
but are convenient and satisfactory
for talking over short routes. The
lapse of the patent which protected
them is hardly likely to have much
effect upon the general telephone
systems of cities. People who wish
to be in communication with many
places or many people will doubt
less keep the service which they
have now. But for private lines
connecting dwellings with one or
two points the magnet telephones
will answer very we'll. It is very
common experience for families to
have one or two places with which
it is special convenience to talk.
Near relatives or intimate friends
often desire to be so connected, but
do no care for the telephone for
general use. The magnet tele-
phone will fit such cases, and has
now the great recommendation that
it can be bought outright, so that
the first cost Of it is the only outlay
that it involves, and even that will
not be great. The magnet tele-
phone will be especially useful in
the country, where the matter of
stringing up a wire is a simple
thing, involving no electric risks,
and no invasion of property.-Har-
