variable rejoinder to the query is that
there are four kinds of lies to which
youthful men and women are addicted,
each malady requiring q different medi-

agination, because of which the child

the medicine for which is objective

duce a child to falsify, and this third
class must be cured by sympathy. In
all such cases the child must be shown
the justice of his punishment, and the
last class of childish prevaricators in
cludes those addicted to the jealous lie.
For instance, a child may say he has
a certain toy which he has not. simply

POST OFFICE AFFAIRS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. "a, 1S94.-The Post
Office Department, as well as the White
House. has it's occasional rank, the one
in point being from the South and the
wishes of the officials are that he return
there. For some time past this man has
been harrassing Fourth Assistant Post
master General Maxwell for the purpose
of having a new postoffice established
at his home with the view of having an
office created for himself. His visits be-
came so frequent and he was so importu-
nate that an order was issued to have
him kept out of the building. This order
has negatived all chances of his being
successful in his mission.
The Department is receiving congratu-
latory letters because of the fact that the
postal guide, a most useful volume, no
longer contains the advertisements of
private firms and parties. For a long
time Congress hat failed to appropriate
sufficient money to pay for its print
ing, and it was because of this that the
Department was compelled to allow the
publishing compan having the contract
for its printing to k out the contract

of the guide make a more attractive

tiles of thickness can be made to ex-
actly simulate the soft folds of any
texture both in color and in modelling,
thus producing a rich and natural re-
suit impossible of attainment by the old
method of painting the fields of drapery

A CLEVER CHINESE.

"An amusing thing occurred while 1
was at ~Yokohoma," says a recently re-
turned traveller. IAN official notice of the
Government had been published in the
Japanese newspapers, saying that all
Chinese who desired to depart must do
so byNa certain date or else remain un-
til the war was over. Thereupon All
Sing, a big clothing dealer at 16 Water
street, called all the Chinese together
and they ell agreed to go. They got
their goods to the dock, and finally
aboard a steamer, with themselves, and
the steamer pulled out. AT the last
minute it was found that the wealthy
merchant had held his goods and slipped
back to the city. He at once resumed
business. having got rid of all opposition
merchants, and is now rolling in riches.''

rhe so-called Mechanics, Lien Law.

The action of the Orange Board of
Trade regarding the so-called Mechan-

tense of protecting poor workingmen,
while it's real object was to place deal
ers in builders supplies on a plane of
security far above what the law af-
fords to other traders. Like all forms
of class legislation, the law is unjust
and mischievous. 1t is harmful ever to

2Trs. Brostic's Sc Accusation Against
Justice Geirer.

Justice Potts was surprised this morn

her 81 for a warrant. Justice Potts Vas
mad and he proposes demanding an

Justices to charge anything.
Justice Geiger's accuser, accompanied
by a News" reporter, visited Geiger's
Office. The latter produced papers which
show that Mary Brostic secured from
him a warrant on December II for the
arrest of Mary Balchinski for assault.
Justice Geiger says the warrant was

DOLLS HAD THEIR DAY.
Thousands of Children See a Congress
of Nations and Jack HOrner,s Pie.

81 NAthO HE 8uu ID dCA EHOIncE|S
That the lungs of Jersey City children
are in good condition was clearly proved
Saturday afternoon at the Woman's Elk
change. From two until six streams of
children poured in n out of the rooms
bent on search expeditions. One lady
said she thought there were 1900 chill
dren present, ZACH one making noise
enough for two.
What with a doll show, Punch and
Judy, Jack Horner's Pie and entertain
ment the children found enough to
keep them amused. AS each girl enter
ed, she was handed a small china doll
as a souvenir of the occasion; each boy
received a toy horn. In the parlors of
the Exchange an entertainment was
given entirely by children. The children
of a private school repeated the Christ
mas entertainment they had given last
week. w or three of the boys and
girls recited Christmas verses, and the
whole school Joined in some pretty car
OILS. They all did well and showed how
very entertaining children can be. Miss
Mabel Stevens played several solos on
the mandolin, and Miss Lulu Jordan
sang. The entertainment was repeated
two or three times during the after
noon.
Upstairs, Hilton Williams, assisted by
Miss Lulu Jordan, entertained the au-
dience with an excellent Punch and
Judy show. There was great excite
ment, as Punch killed all his associates.
The doll show was a great success.
There We're dolls of all sizes. ages, and
description; dolls with long curling hair
and dolls which had lost their hair, dolls
of all colors and dressed in all styles
and fashions. But the browning feature
eff the show was the Congress of Ma
tons, in which dolls dressed in all the
costumes of all the peoples in the world
~hobnobbed with each other like diplo-
+. mats at a Presidential reception. China
and Japan had ceased fighting, and gazed
with a common interest on Russia and
England. p
Jack Horner's Pie was a source of
constant enjoyment: many were the
dimes given for the pleasure of pulling
one of the bright ribbons. Ice cream
and CAKE were served by the ladies, and
the candy counter was literally patron
lied. On the whole. the afternoon was
successful, both for the children and the
Exchange.

were prisoners in Justice Potts court
this morning accused Of having attempt

store, at No. PSI Grand street, yesterday

o'clock When he was awakened by hear
ing a strange noise in the store. Aiming
himself with a crowbar he made his way
to the store and saw two men trying
to force the money drawer. He attacked
them, but both managed to escape. An
hour later Ward and Mcdonald were
arrested on suspicion. Spiro identified
them as men whom he had seen hang
ing around his store for the past two
weeks. Justice Potts committed them.

Good Christmas Trade.

The highly important rumor comes
.oross tho river to us from New York
that the Christmas trade has been al
extraordinary success. We hear of big
combination stores practically sold out
and of houses that have done no bust
ness in the last two lays because their
entire holiday stock was wiped out in
the beginning of the week. One Slxth
avenue man says he has made htty per
cent more sales in the past week nan III
the same week last year. Another
admits that all his representations were
belied. He had prepared for a good TRACE
in cheap goods and he found the demand
ran heavily on expensive articles, OF
which, he says, his shelves haVe been
completely emptied.
Certainly nobody who lounged around
thes shopping districts on Saturday after
noon and evening would gather from the
sights that we were emerging from a
period of almost National bankruptcy.
Never before were the streets so crowded,
never before were the stores so thronsed.
All the world and his wife and chill
dren were laden down with bundles.
Worn ont express horses fairly lay down
in the streets from fatigue. Long lines
of wagons stood, day and night, about
the big stores, while armies of men load
ed and reloaded them. The restaurants
were on the rush, the cars, surface and
elevated, did duty for freight and pas
sengers.
Behind the counters the statesmen and
women looked tired to death. 1t
was no fun for them. They almost lived
in the stores. They only went home to
sleep, taking all their meals on the prem
ises between PUSHES of customers. And,
yet, their number was so increased that
in some houses they were almost in
each others way.
Altogether, we believe it has been a
very good Christmas, a regular surprise
party for the retail trade, and we augur
the happiest results from it for next
years business. OF course all this bust
ness means cash. This cash will settle
up an enormous mass Of debt to jobbers
and manufacturers and importers in the
next month, and from them it will get
around to the working classes in due
time. Resides the depleted stocks will
have to be replaced and the retailers will
have more heart in placing their orders
on account of their success in this season.
If the general report and the superficial
appearance of things are borne out by the
result when the cash is counted up, We
may well say that the backbone of the
bad times is broken and all will hence
forward be plain sailing.
