The people in the vicinity of 81 Pike

floors are already occupied by shirt and

ment on the third floor, and wanted a
waistcoat made while he waited. He
spoke in an irrelevant, foolish way, and
became indignant when his order was
refused.
An hour later several people heard an
unearthiy yell and saw the man dash
down the stairs and run towards the
river. Policeman James Gilmartin. OF
the Madison street station. who was
patrolling his beat In the vicinity, was
notified, and he made a careful search
OF the building.
In a corner OF the hallway of the sec

o~vercoat, a sack cont, a pair of lace
shoes, a pair of socks, n pair OF two
button kid gloves and a derby hat.
The clothing bore the name of a Bow

tained the name Of a well-known Bow

In the inside pocket Of the sack coat
was abank book, No. 247, 2s2, OF the Will

WHAT 1T ALL MEANS.

What a transparent humbug Is the
p%retense at Albany OF giving us Rapid
Transit.
Rapid Transit for the city OF New
York. rendered absolutely necessary by
reason of the peculiar conformation of
the city. has no more to do with politics
than with the Bible. 1t is n question OF
the prosperity OF the city and the con-
venlence and comfort of the people. A
real rapid transit road ought to be built
by practical, experienced men and not
by politicians. II the credit of the city
Is loaned to the undertaking, 1t ought
only to be because the money can be
raised on bonds at a much lower rate
OF interest by the city than by contrac-
tors, n without any idea that the cost
OF construction will eventually fall on
the city.
When the Legislature provides for a
bipartisan Rapid Transit Commission
II has only one object in view. to OBJ
struct and kill any rapid transit road in
the interest Of the Elevated system,
while Sinking responsibility. When
Senator O'Connor talks abou the ne
cessity Of preventing the project from
being controlled by Democrats. HI sim
ply does the work of the Manhattan
corporation.
A bipartisan commission would mean
a political commission. The men in
trusted with the work from first to last
ought to be practical engineers and
capable business men. Until this Is &C.
cured, rapid transit talk is humbug.
That 1t is not the case is due to the In.
trigues and tricks of the Elevated Rail
road monopoly.

was wrong. The people do not differ

Onions,

For a hard. tight cough, nothing is
better than to eat a raw onion. This
will loosen the phlegm almost immedi-
ately. Onions IRE also recommended
as a preventive Of grippe and other
epidemic diseases of a catarrhal ma
ture, and are said to be when eaten raw
before retiring an unfailing remedy for
insomnia. 1t is also one of the most
wholesome and nutritious foods, and has
been so used from the most remote an
tiquity. 1t Is a native of Indi and also
Of Egypt. where 1t grows in great per-
lection, and is said to be of exquisite
flavor. The Bermuda onions are the
finest brought to our markets.
1t is said hat in Spain and Portugal
a raw onion. with a piece of bread.
often forms the dinner of a laboring
man. Onions certainly contain a large
amount of heterogeneous matter, and
doubtless would be used more than they
now are II their odor were less pro-
nounced.

RRdishes.

Radishes possess valuable medicinal
properties. They are demulcent. stim-
ulating and diuretic and should be eaten
freely when fresh and crisp. They are
usually eaten with salt only, but II
sliced hin are very nice with a French
dressing. In this country the radishes
themselves are rarely cooked. though
the tops Of young radishes are often
boiled. The radish Is q native of Asia,
where 1t has been cultivated from the
most ancient times. Nearly an inch Of
the green top should be left on thu
radishes when they are prepared for the
table, and this little portion of the top
should be eaten. as the peculiar proper
ties they possess help to digest the
radish itself.

Hippocrates Had His Mnsseuse.

In the days of wise I'D Hippocrates
massage treatments were regarded ia
vorably. He explained the principles
when he wrote rubbing car bind a
joint that is too loose and loosen a joint
that is too rigid. Rubbing can make
flesh and aus flesh to waste. Hard
rubbing binds, soft rubbing l%oosens;
much rubbing causes parts to waste;
moderate rubbing causes them to grow"
That massage is a natural alleviator
everybody is aware; when bruised or in
pain one instinctively rubs the sore spot,
frequently with happy results. For
nervous troubles both the old and new
school of physicians prescribe massage.

lice Court, because of the inability Of
their parents to support them.
Mrs. Martin complained that her hus-
band. Thomas Martin. drank inces-
sanity, and that what little money he
earned he spent for liquor. She said
she had been dispossessed and was liv-
ing temporarily with Mrs. Kicks in a
basement at sac West Th%irty-nlnth street.
Justice Ryan wanted Mrs. Martin to

port, but she pleaded to give him an

Care of Wet Shoes.

There ere few things more disagree
able than to put on a pair of stifr. brittle
shoes that have been thrown aside to
dry after a rainy day. Here is a formula
that claims to eradicate the trouble
First wipe off gently with a soft cloth
all surface water and mud; then, while
still wet. rub well with paraffine oil,
using flannel for the purpose. Set them
aside till partially dry, when a second
treatment with oil is advisable. They
may then be deposited in a conveniently
warm place, where they will dry grad
ually and thoroughly. Before applying
French kid dressing give them a final
rubbing with the flannel still slightly
dampened with parafine n the boots
will be soft n flexible as new kid and
be very little affected by their bath in
the rain.
