Life In the Great Metropolis After
Midnight.

The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger says:
The time was when nearly every
body in the metropolis was in bed and
asleep by midnight, but now that is an
early hour in the social life of the city,
and there is large number of persons
here who labor from sunset to sunrise.
Social functions begin very late. At
the fashionable balls dancing generally
does not start until nearly midnight,
and is kept up until an hour when
many people are preparing Tor their
days work. The opera is not out until
close upon that hour, and often later.
AT midnight the restaurants are filled
with parties from the theatres, crowds
are travelling on the surface and ele-
waited railroads and the ferries, aud in
certain streets there is as much life and
hustle as there is at noontime. With
this change in the habits of the city
there has not, however, been IA CORE
spending change in the schedules of
the railroads, most of which are ar.
ranged to accord with the old order of
things. Joseph G. Hendrix, who used
to be Secretary of the Brooklyn Bridge
told me not long ago how difficult it
had been for him to induce the trustees
to run bridge cars all night. The
trustees could not be made to believe
that there would be any traffic after
midnight. The experiment of running
cars all night was tried, with grave
doubts of its success, but it was dis.
covered that the cars were ALWAYS
filled, and the number of has since been
greatly increased, until now the night
traffic on the bridge is the most profit
able of the "a hours. 1t was a long
time before the Brooklyn elevated
roads would run trains after midnight
but now the roads are operated al
night, and the night trains are always
full. 1t is certainly wonder the mum
ber of people who are stirring through
the night. One gets a better idea o
the immensity of the city from The
night traffic than from the denseI
crowds on the streets during the day
But while night trains are now run il
New York and Brooklyn, there is
large population that is practically
shut out of the metropolis after mid
| night

Converting Horses Into Fertilizers.

The application of electricity to the
propulsion of cars through the various
cities of our country has revolutionized
the trade in horses, and it is very pro-
bable that the raising of horses will be
greatly curtailed, if not almost entirely
abandoned in some OF the Western
States. 1t is estimated that in Eastern
Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho
and Nevada there are 100000 half
bred horses, for which there IS no mar
ket that they cannot be sold at auction
for prices that will pay the cost OF
raising and freight. Meanwhile the
horses running wild go on increasing,
and as a means of getting rid of the
mongrels it is proposed to kill thous-
and of them, and convert their flesh
and bones into fertilizers.
A company, it is said, has already
been organized at Portland, Oregon,
and site for an abattoir secured. The
horse will be killed by painless
method, when the flesh will be render.
ed of all its fat, and the residue with
the bones and hoofs will be sold to en-
rich the soil. The hides will be saved
as they always have a market value
and the hair with the name and tail
will be used for mattresses and up.
hOlstery work. A portion of the meat
will also be canned for chicken feed
and every part of the hide, hair, flesh
or bone that can be converted into
practical use will be utilized.

Making a Bad Matter Worse.

The difference between the Repub-
lican and the Democratic members Of
the committee to investigate the sugar
scandal amounts, IN substance, to a
mere difference in the form of stating
the facts. Secretary Carlisle is to be
whitewashed, of course, Senator Gray's
majority report acquitting him of all
connection with the sugar schedule ex-
cept such as having grew out of his
having drafted the protecting" clause.
To the Republican members of the
committee this seems like a very i'm
pOrtant connection, indeed, and the
public will undoubtedly concur in that
view, although it is said in defence OF
the Secretary that he drew up the
schedule at the invitation of the FL
nance Committee. Even this admis-
sion, however, only involves the
Democracy the more, as it admits the
action and only divides the responsible
ity for it.
1t is not at all probable that any can,
did report will be made by the major
ity, assuming that Senator Allen will
sign that report; but the fact will moi
materially change the public opinion Of
the scandal. The truth is as the Re
publican members would state it. The
Senate know it and the people will re-
member it. For some reason or othel
the demands of the trust were con
ceded by the Democrats. The con
sideratiOn may have been pecuniary
and it may have been only political
but whatever it was, it was sufficient
To admit that Mr.. Carlisle drafted tn
schedule at the request of the Financ
Committee only makes a bad matte

He COMMITTED SUICIDE!
Tho Cause and Its Lesson.

WhU did he commit suicide? Oh for
the same reason that thousands of others are
on the verge of the same sin, or in imme-
diate danger of insanity, paralysis, idiocy,
or some other equally unfortunate result of
anv nervous affection. He knew he was
afflicted with a nervous disorder, but was
careless, apparently Indifferent to the out
come; or he may have lessened his chances
for recovery by treating with physicians
who had little or no knowledge Of such af-
fections, or by deluging himself with worth
less so-called remedies. His case was sad
one, but no worse than that of any other
nervous sufferer, who has nervous or sick
headache, biliousness, dizziness, irritability,
melancholy, failing memory, hot flashes,
fainting, sleeplessness, nervous dyspepsia,
sexual debility, epilepsy, etc. The same or
similar consequences are likely to result to
any one who has any of these advance
symptoms of an awful end. Do not hesitate
in getting rid of them by intelligent treat
ment. DR.. Franklin Miles, the celebrated
specialist, has studied nervous diseases over
20 years, and has discovered the only re-
liable remedy for them. Thousands of vol

Don't Get Mad.

An exchange remarks that a news
paper writer seldom has any particular
person in view when penning general
truths. Hence it often happens that
score of people are led by an accusing
conscience to put on shoe which is as
tight fit as though it had been made
for both of them. Thus it is possible
for writer to bring down a whole
flock with a single pebble, while one
person will come in and good naturedly
thank him for the good done through
his well meant and impersonal criti-
cism, another will fume with rage, stop
his paper, and foOlishly proclaim his
much greater weakness far and wide.

1t is bad policy to speak deprecat-
lngly of your own town. AS has been
said by another "if you live in a town
you should believe in it," Ifyou don't
believe your town is a little better in
most respects than any of its neighbors
you should move out. Like other
places,it has advantages which Others
have not, and your modesty should not
prevent you from making that fact
known whenever the opportunity pre-.
sents itself. At home or abroad.

with whom you come in contact to un-
derstand that you live in in a live town

Vacing instead of retrOgradug. IfyOu

that privilege. You should learn to
believe, if you do not already, that we
have all these and in addition the
handsomest woman, the best located
town, the finest country surrounding
it, with the most fertile farms, titled
by the most intelligent class of farmers
to be found in the United States. OF
course the disadvantages or drawbacks
OF your city need not be dwelt upon.
The residents and newspapers of rival
towns will attend to that. Strangers
seeking homes are always more in lined
to settle where the people of the place
are enthusiastic in its praises. No city
or town can expect to appreciate and
spread abroad the virtues oftheir home
Talk is cheap commodity, and when
