Christmas Gift, to others.

A large number of the families known at the City mission headquarters, cor ner of Court and State streets, were generously provided for on Thanksgiv- ing day. But all were not helped in this way and none of course were placed beyond the reach of want. At Christmas time there should be gifts for all, and therefore all the more for those in need. Those on duty at the City mission hall would like to provide substantial Christmas help of various kinds for families, including from 200 to 300 persons, either by mention to others or with funds sent to the Rev. MT. Mossman, the missionary pastor, or to Miss Hume, the lady missionary, for that purpose.

 The same tool in modified form is
 used by stone cutters for dressing or carving granite. The little engine which
 does the work is in the handle of the
 tool, which is about as large as a -chisel handle. The air is brought for the tool by small rubber pipe, which Is so flexible that 1t can be handled easy and at any angle. A piston and spring shove the tool in and cut and 1t can be 50 regulated that the most delicate work can be done with 1t.
 Many of the dump cars on the sani- tary canal are dump by. compressed air. A pipe leads from the locomotive which hauls the cars from the working in the canal to the dump or spoil bank, and when the train of cars is in the proper place the engineer turns a valve, the compressed air shoves out the piston in the air cylinder under the cars, and the dirt is dumped.

Rev. DIR. Miner on Neal Dow.

Temperance reformers differ among
themselves, and will doubtless continue to
do so, like reforme.s in other fields. One
man will work for prohibition while anoth-
er works for the Norwegian method. But
every temperance man respects and adj
mires Neal Dow, whatever he thinks of
his methods. The movement which re-
suited in the Maine liquor law was one of
the most important movements which ev
er took place in New England. 1t is with
special interest, therefore, that all who are
interested in temperance work will read
the very complete and satisfactory article,
contributed to the June number of the
New England magazine by Rev. Dr. A. a.
Miner, entitled "Neal Dow and the Maine
liquor law" This article appears, oppor-
tunely, just as the temperance people are
gathering by thousands for their great con-
vention at Staten island, where General
Dows Goth birthday, recently celebrated
so warmly, is to be recognized in a still
more general and impressive manner. DR..
Miners article is a most loving vivacous
and energetic one, and with its great
wealth of illustrations, including fine por-
traits of the veteran reformer, is perfect
mine of information upon its subject.

Justice Gets Her own in Grnvesend.

Never has any reform movement been so
which has rescued Gravesend from the Nc
Kane ring. A year ago the town was so
absolutely in the grip of McKane that the
task of rescuing it appeared hopeless. Nc
Kane's power extended beyond the bound
aries of the town. He was power in the
county and in the state, and he could block
any proposed legislation aimed at his SUI
premacy in Gravesend. But now behold
the change! McKane is securely in Sing
Sing, every avenue of escape having been
closed. Gravesend has lost its political
identity and been annexed to Brooklyn.
The "Bowery' at Coney island, which was
such a source of revenue and political pow
er to the ring, has undergone a metamor-
phoss under the reform administration of
Mayor Schieren. One after another of
McKane's lieutenants or tools have been
made to suffer for their criminal or illegal
acts. Monday, to crown the record, eX-
Justice Sutherland, McKane's lieutenant
and probable successor as boss of Graves
end, who ran away from his trial aud con-
viction, returned and gave himself up to
the sheriff. Tuesday, after pleading guilty to
the new indictment charging him with pro-
curing a false canvass of the votes of
Gravesend, Sutherland stood up and had
the second sentence pronounced against
him. 1t was that after he had spent one
year in Sing Sing prison and paid 500
tine-the punishment imposed by Justice
Brownie be confined for an additional
period of one year and eight months, max
ing total punishment of two years and
eight months and $500 fine. The course
of justice has never been more complete
than in this overturn in Gravesend.
Before sentence was passed Sutherland's
written confession was read He said that
in the election last fall he prepared several
hundred fraudulent ballots which the in
spectors put in the boxes. In a total of
1912 votes in one district between 500 and
900 were fraudulent. In 1892, 200 votes
out of 2000 were fraudulent.
