A SLAP AT THE LOBBY.

Senator Lexow did well to call atten-
ton. yesterday. to the presence OF
''Tammany lobbyists as he called
them. who are alleged 10 be spending
their time at Albany to influence leg
islation. He alluded to the New York
Corporation Counsel and to two Of the
New York Dock Commissioners. and II
1t is true that they have been openly
lobbying in the Senate. as Mr.. Lexow
charges. INSTEAD OF attending to the
duties for which they are paid they
certainly deserve his censure.
But Mr.. LeXow must in fairness re-
member that The duty OF the Corpora
ton Counsel frequently takes him to
Albany to look after bills connected
with the city government. The Dock
Commissioners are there to Induce the
Legislature not to interfere with their
specially protected and very profitable
Department by increasing Its RESPONSE
bility to the people for honest manage
ment. But as the Legislature is Repub-
lican In both houses. their attempts to
influence legislation ought to insure the
passage of the Dock Reform bill, pro-
vided Mr.. Lexow's political associates
are not open to improper influences.
Mr.. Lexow's structures would be more
forcible II he had included in his cen
sure the Republican lobby contingent
which has been at Albany all the
session boldly seeking to influence leg
islation. He certainly cannot have over
looked the fact that n prominent Re-
publican leader, Mr.. Platt's most trusted
lieutenant. who expects a Police Com
~missionership In New York II the BIZ
Partisan Police bill should go through.
has been busily lobbying in the Legis-
lature for that bill, and Is alleged to
have made his headquarters in the
Speakers rooms.
Fair play is a Jewel. Mr.. Lexow. al
though 1t is not often seen sparkling on
the Senatorial regalia at Albany.

Home Lunch.
Sunday Night Teas.

Sunday night teas are a form Of social
entertainment that IS In increasing vogue
at this season. 1t Is the one opportunity
for the housewife with a fine old table
TO display her treasure, and It's polished
surface Is literally the foundation. as
1t is the chief care in placing her feast.
The new old silver designs for flower
bowls, relieve dishes, n tea and choco-
late pots are much liked for these teas,
and pillar candlesticks, alternating with
tall vases, holding a spike OF lilies or a
bunch of daffodils. are also favorite
accessories. There Is no meal-setting
richer or more tremendously effective
than . fne old mahogany table lad
with cobweb plate doylies and centre
cloths, and furnished with shiny silver.

The Newest Coats.

Black MORE is now q favorite stun for
the stylish 1880 coats. It's stiffness suits
the style to a dot, and its lustre makes
1t always appropriate for dressy occa-
sions. A fair woman or a red blonde
could wear the same material in dark
green most effectively. The coat is
made perfectly close-ftting. with a
waistband OF black satin ribbon richly
embroidered in jet. and finished with
two long scarf ends of satin, which
show long Jet fringe at the bottom.
The revers are edged with black feath-
er trimming and turn back over n little
vest OF black MORE. The sleeves are
very large at the top. md the wrists
are finished with gauntlet cuffs. This Is
one of the handsomest coats shown
this season.

Asparagus 10.

Asparagus. deservedly a favorite vege'
table, was extensively cultivated by the
ancient Romans, but was not introduced
into England before 1860. In some parts
OF Europe the seeds are used as q sub
stitute for coffee. and a spirituous liquor
is made from the ripe berries. Aspara-
gus is both lithic and diuretic, and it,
roots used to be extensively used IN
medicine. The young, tender sprouts or
stems. from six to ten inches long, are
the edible parts. and those that are en-.
tirely green are the most tender and
delicate. The white asparagus =, as q
rule. very tough, the tips alone being eat
able. In some old recipe books direc'
lions are given for boiling asparagus ono
hour. but this is a great mistake-twenv
or thirty minutes Is long enough to cook u
sufficiently, but there was n suggestion
worth following. Instead Of cutting on
the white parts 1t advised that they %
broken, saying that II they were TOO
tough to break they were unfit to eat

MARCHING ON. INDEED.

Representative Davis, a Populist con-
tribution to the National Congress from
Kansas. has comprehensive Views OF his
party's policy. Yesterday he introduced
u bill In the House directing the Secre-
tary OF War 10 Immediately enlist an
army OF five hundred thousand men In
an Industrial Volunteer Army OF the
United States to ser1e for the period of
one year after enlistment. These gal
liant soldiers are to be fed, CLOTHED AMI
paid the same as the regular army.
But instead OF being armed with rifles.
swords and revolvcrs their weapon are
to be shovels, wheelharrows and picks,
and instead OF marching against hostile
Indians in the far West they are to at
tack canals, rivers and harhors, high-
ways and public buildings and to create
instead Of destroy.
To meet the expense of this Industrial
Army the Secretary OF the Treasury Is

notes to replace the waste AMI destruc-
ton OF his portion of the currency, one
hundred and nifty millions of National

In preparing bread crumbs, save all
the crusts and pieces Of bread and care
fully dry them either in the oven or in
the warming oven, as a very moderate
heat is required in order to dry the

Momentum as a Motor il the heading OF q
clipping In THE Evening World" from the New
Haven Palladium. which is an account Of an
engine on the Consolidated blowing out her cylin-
der head. Tho article says that Instead OF stop
ping and getting stalled. the engineer let the
machins have It's head, and pulled into Stamford
station on time. . The Ave miles were
run without a pound OF steam and solely on the
momentum the train was under when the mishap
took place" This statement is l~aughable to a
railroad man who is acquainted with such mat
ters, inasnuch as momentum has very little to do
with It. A locomotive. as nearly every one
knows. has two cylinders, and II tho head OF one
blows out. II still has the other to work with.
II Ia trut that. II this engineer had allowed his
engine to stop he might have got stalled. but this
would be caused only by the engine stopping on
the centre. when the ~dif'culty would arise which
applies to all cases where power is transmitted
by a rod and crank. 1t would not be able to
start OF itself. but. once started. It would be an
easy matter to keep II going. D.. @. j.

Wise Words for Women.

Light housekeeping is not always ac-
companied by light expenses.
A few plants and flowers will beautify
any home where the lady Of the house
will not trust to her servants to see to
her blooming treasures being kept clean
and 1udiciously watered.
The miller moth is getting ready for
her seasons work. Get ready to head
her off. She will do more damage In a
month than you can repair In a year.
What the average woman most needs
Is more sleep, less hurry. fewer calls and
quieter home life.
1t Is just as well that there is no
marrying or giving In marriage In
heaven. There is no record Of any d.
vorce court there.
