A DOUGHTY CHAMPION.

Ex-Secretary William C. Whitney has
written a ringing letter to Chairman
Huxley. of the State Democratic Com

their full duty in the present campaign
Mr.. Whitney repeats his refusal al

as Chairman OF the Campaign Commit

that If his objections were not absolute
he would be tempted to accept, In order
to make more emphatic his desire to give

occasions opposed. hearty and un.
qualified support. He will work for sue

INCREASING THE POLICE FORCE.

1t Is said that the Grand Jury will
make a presentment in connection with
the number of assaults and robberies
In the public streets OF the city, strongly
recommending that the police force be
increased by the addition OF one thou
sand men to the present number. This
action is alleged to be due to the sug-
gestion of Supt. Byrnes, who attributed
the outbreaks OF lawlessness - the in
sufficient number of patrolmen, and ex-
pressed the opinion that the proposed
addition of one thousand men Is needed
for the proper protection of the city.
There can be no doubt that the force
as at present constituted is too small.
But before 1t is Increased would 1t not
be better to insure the reform shown
to be greatly needed by recent develop
ments, both among officers and men?
Is 1t not, indeed due to the character
OF the force. heretofore and generally
good. considering the number. that bad
methods and bad men should be weeded
out?
Above all, before the increase takes
place, Is 1t not desirable that the LeXow
Committee should go Higher Up In It's
Investigations. and let the people know
whether the heads of the Department
are TIT to be intrusted with the control
of greater number of men?
The people have heard enough of the
corruptions of irresponsible individuals.
Go Higher, Mr.. Goff!

A BAFFLED OCTOPUS.

Truly we have arrived at halcyon days

AN INCH OFF THE NOSE.

Nellie Cooper is a colored belle. She
was in trouble yesterday at Jefferson
Market Police Court. Nellie, 1t appears
has a rival for the affections of cap

show. She met her rival at dance

In the course of the encounter Nellie
made 1t race affair by going down
into her hose and drawing forth "A razor
There was a deep design in this act
for Nellie used the weapon at once and

Shell Combs Revived.

There is a marked revival this Sum-
mer of the quaint and towering shell
combs of our grandmothers. They are
shown plain, carved and decorated with
the silver tracery which is the fancy OF
the hour. AS these combs in the real
shell cost from IS upward, the maiden
who is fortunate enough to have a dot
ing grandmamma or aunt will take ad-
vantage of her indulgence and borrow
her real old-time comb, thus saving
pocket money, and acquiring the pride
of possession which attaches to a gen.
uine auteekah," as Amelia Edwards 8
constituencies Egyptian merchant called
the rubbish he foisted off upon his too
confiding purchasers. The revival of
the old-fashioned shell comb is the nat
ural outcome of the revived fashion of
plainly parted and bandeauxed style of
hair.

Tots and Table Manners.

Teach child to wipe its mouth after
drinking, and to wipe its hands and
mouth on the napkin-that should al
ways be laid in his lap, even when a
bib is tied around his neck; never to
put his knife in the butter; to dip his
hands in the finger-bowl, which should
be placed beside his plate at each meal
to eat with closed lips; to chew the food
quietly; never to speak with food in his
mouth. and not to ask for food until
his elders are helped; when he is a man
he will never be considered rude at the
table, but will eat properly. without
thinking that he is doing so. Table
manners are a sure test of breeding.

The monkey has precisely the same organs as a
The monkey begets Its kind like man:
It suffers from the same diseases as man and
1t dies like man. 1t even speaks in language
OF Its own, which is more simple than that OF
man. The monkey differs from only in de-
gree OF intellect. Man improves, but animals do

cave ate his food uncooked. and had a language
made up Of signs and grunts. 1t took CEN
