To Reduce Rents


To the Editor:
| have seen a great deal OF controversy concern.
ing the best and easiest way OF helping and re-
leving the poor workingman Of his oppressive
burden Of heavy rents. Now, let me put you and
your numerous readers on the only sure track
Of getting a reduction Of exorbitant and monstrous
rents. The first thing would do would be To re-
duce all those princey salaried officials in our
municipal buildings not only In salaries but In
numbers, as think from what have seen
they are only In each others way; they don I
seem to know what they are there for for II
you go and ask them a question they don't know
the first thing about It; they will refer you to
some else. and that one will do the same
TIL you really do find out the only one that does
know something, and in all probability he is
away from his office or gone on his vacation. and
you go away disguised So much for all that
waste Of public money. Then there is the Polics
department I see they are about 20 have an in
crease OF wages which I think Is one OF the
greatest impositons on the people Of New York.
The very idea OF increasing the wages Of men
who only loaf about corners OF our streets and
impose on the city's treasury to the tune OF
800 per month. while manufacturers are reducing
good honest mechanics wages to the verge OF
starvationl Let our citizens wake up to the i'm
portanco OF this great question and agtate 1t all
question be. III Oh rents. and what 10 the causer'

SENATOR MURPHY FOLLOWS CROKER.

While the Republican party II con
flrmlng Platt's leadership by electing
delegates to the State Convention to
carry out that boss's orders as to the
State nominations, the Democracy is
preparing the way for a marked change
in the State machine.
Senator Ed Murphy tells world"
reporter Officially and emphatically"
that he intends to retire from the chair
manship of the State Committee, and
he names as his successor Major James
w. Hlnckley, OF Poughkeepsie. Senator
I'M indorses Major Hinckley. whom he
pronounces n veteran campaigner and q
capable leader.
There Is no comfort for the Grace
Democratic organization In this change,
as II Is no concession to them. But 1t Is n
very significant concession to the anti
boss sentiment so apparent in the State
last Fail. Senator Ed Murphy, jr.. was
the main advocate OF Maynard's nom
nation. and has been as much the rec
ognized head OF the State Tammany
many machine. Murphys retirement on
the heels OF Croker's abdication shows
wholesome dread OF public sentiment
on the part of the old ring.
Mr.. Murphy has been II faithful and
efficient party man, but the regular De-
mocracy Will be benefited by his retire
ment

HOW THE CITIES ARE TREATED.

Country legislators are never unwilling
TO aseail New York as a corrunt and wick
ed city, and never hesitate To- regard them
selves as better qualified than the citi-
zens themselves to Judge what legisla-
ton Is best for the metropolis.
Yet what would the rest of the state
do without the cities OF New York and
BROOKLYN
The State has a population in round
numbers OF 6,2oO.OO0. of which the two
cities have 2,sOo,OoO. The rest OF the
Sta'e has 100000
\ the fiscal year 1894 to 1896 the total
State taxes are $4,000, OF which the
two cities pay $4,000. The whole
State outside the two cities pay only
81, $4,000
The school tax for the whole State
Is $4,000, OF which New York and
Brooklyn pay s230oOoo. or 60 per cent. OF
the whole amount.
For the State care OF the insane the
entire State IL taxed 3l,3SOOOO. OF this,
New York alone Is called upon to pay
$500. 900, or within a fraction of one-half
the entire tax. Yet New York pays, In
addition, the whole cost OF the care OF
It's own insane and not a dollar of the
expense falls on the State fund. OF
which the city pays nearly so per cent.
The State tax levied on the two cities
amounts to nearly two dollars head
for every man. woman and child. Or
the rest OF the State It amounts only &c
a fraction over one dollar a head.
1t might be supposed that In gratitude
the country legislators and hayseed poll
ticians would be less eager than they
are to enter into corrupt deals and com
binations to force laws upon the city
against the interests and the wishes OF
her people.

Tailor STYLES.

Pockets are put on the side and not
in centre of cloth skirts. No pockets
are put in the skirt Tailors claim that
running the hand down in a pocket
spoils the hang OF a well-made skirtk
then, too, heavy weights. like coin
purses. silver bound pocketbooks. keys
&C., make the skirt sag and uneven.
Pockets are put in the coattails. at tho
hips of the coat, and on the breast OF
vests. Sleeves are gradually becoming
like those in mems coats; they are put
into the coat with gathers and plaits.
Instead OF plating the back breadth OF
cloth skirts the fulness is arranged in
three rolls, called organ pipes, on ac-
count OF their form. They are shaped
with a lightweight hair cloth.

To Clean Various Articles.

Lace-woven stockings in white and
delicate tints may be cleaned with ben
zine or naphtha instead of by the OR
binary process of washing. They should
be turned inside out, shaken free from
dust, laid fiat in a dish and covered
with the fluid. After violent stirring,
they should be laid, the other side down.
in clean naphtha. Then they should be
hung in the air until all door disap-
pears.
Soied white canvas or kid shoes may
be cleaned by rubbing with dry pipe
clay, applied with stiff brush. They
may also be rubbed clean with deodor-
lied benaine, followed by an application
Of pipeclay.
If white dresses, either cotton, linen,
woollen or silk. are laid away without
proper wrapping, they will become yell
low. They should be done up in blue
tissue paper and then in a sheet or
coarse muslin cloth of some sort.
Leather boots, belts or bags that have
been wet or soaked into a state of hard
ness or stiffness may be softened by
rubbing plentifully with coal oil.

Corean boys and Girls.

In Corea a boy goes bareheaded until
he is seven years of age; some are kept
in curls until the age of fourteen. Oncs
he puts on a hat he never appears with
out 1t. At church he takes of his
shoes at the door and enters with his
hat on. He washes his face, eats his
dinner. visits with his mother and SIS
tiers, reads, works, rests and even goes
to bed in a skull cap. When a man or
youth dresses in mourning he puts on
his head an enormous straw hat, shaped
like a wooden bread bowl. which COM
pletely hides his face from view, and
he wears this for three years. A Corean
little girl is never seen in public after
her seventh birthday, when, like her
mother she becomes a prisoner for tho
rest OF her natural life.

Lunch for Brain-workers,
To Reduce the Waist Line.

A man can be forgiven for losing his
waist line, but one hates to see the fe-
male form divine muffled up in fat. An
authority on superfluous flesh says that
the lazy matter can be gotten rid Of by CIV
ing twenty minutes a dayto the simplest
callsthenic exercise. Hold the legs and
upper part of the body as rigid as pos
sible, place the hands on the hips and
bend forward until the trunk and IS
are at right angles. Do this five I -
at first, then ten, then twenty consecu-
tive times. Repeat the movement back,
right and left. This exercise will in .
few months convert the fat into muscle.
1t Is difficult to get rid Of a jowl or
shoulder fat, but laziness is the only
bar to the reduction Of hip and abdominal

Useful Information.

When a fringed tablecloth is used, tho
napkins should also be fringed.
Heavy English crepe is going out Of
use for mourning, being replaced by the
lighter French article.
1t is said that black hosiery Is at
length losing its hold on public favor,
but II is very unlikely that It will be
entirely abandoned, since no color looks
30 well with the black boots and shoes
ordinarily worn.
1t is said that colored hosiery may be
prevented from fading by washing It
in luke-warm water and then soaking
it in ten quarts of cold water, to which
has been added tumbler of vinegar
and a handful of salt.

Salad. Cheese and Fruit.

Salad is laxative, hence its value after
heavy dinner courses. Cheese is stimu-
lating. People who live well and eat to
live consider a dinner without a cube of
cheese imperfect Fruit is aperient in
its action. 1t disagrees only with a
diseased or overloaded stomach. Half
a pound of grapes or any juicy fruit
will digest a big dinner; If it is too big,
the glutton must bear the consequences.
Feeding is a good deal like fire making.
