Timid Young Indy.

1t is one OF the unfortunate features
OF our social life that young persons are
not allowed to act in a simple and nat
ural manner. The young woman is ex-
pected to be very reserved and to dis
claim any special interest in young men,
under penalty of being called forward"
or bold" and Of being thought to be
trying to attract attention. In all cases
1t is much the better way to be out
spoken and frank, rather than so shy as
to appear awkward and be misunder-
stood. No man who Is worth knowing
would respect a lady less for a straight
forward, frank invitation to call. There
are many very silly ideas in the world,
but the most silly of all is that which
some semi-brainless men get into their
heads when they fancy that MI of the
girls are running after them. Such van
ity is an indication OF very little sense

How to Sew on Buttons.

Buttons should be sewed On loosely,
the knot of the doubled thread on the
right side of the garment under the but
ton. A pin with a small button and n
darner with a large button should be
inserted between the cloth and button
when sewing to make the stitches loose,
and then, when withdrawn, the thread
should be wound, around the stitches,
making a shank for the play of the but
ton-hole. Buttons on children's under
waists should be especially strong. A
bit OF cotton folded double where the
button is to be sewed will prevent tear
ing out of the waist itself. Such waists
should never be passed through the
wringer when washed, but should al
ways be wrung by hand. A wringer will
break the buttons faster than any
amount Of wear.

have no excuse to maltreat you"
What a disgrace 1t is to tho State
that n Judge on the bench should be
forced by his conscience to make such
remarks. What n scandal It Is to hui
manity that such n condition of affairs
should exist In a penal institution as to
make n Just Judge dread the Cruelties
that may be inflicted on "A prisoner he
is forced to sentence to confinement
there.
For this disgrace and thiss scandal Gov,
Flower Is alone responsible. Charges
of misconduct have been established
against the managers OF the Reforma-
tory. The Senate stands ready to con-
sent to their removal on the evidence
already obtained and the judgment al
ready rendered. But Gov. Flower pro-
tects the condemned managers and
keeps Brockway in power. His p%retcnse
at n new trial is II farce. His IRE

the retention of the managers in office.
The suspension" of Brockway means
the continuation of his power over the
institution. When n sham suspension
was made pending the last trial. Brock
way and his methods were continued
at the Reformatory. The Governor was

laughed at now by the managers and

BRAZIL Gets ALL HER SHIPS.

dered at Buenos Ayres,

Make DE Mello Fight Him.

Copyright. 1894. by tho Associated Press)
BUENOs AYRES. April 1.-THE re-
naming ships Of the Brazilian rebel
fleet commanded by Admiral de Mello.
which arrived off this port last night,
are the subject OF extensive exchanges
of telegraph messages between the au-
thorities OF thisp place and the Brazilian
Government. through the Brazilian Min
lister here.
The rebel ships are the Republica. Me-
tcoro, Iris, Urano and Esperanza. They
are In a very dilapidated condition, and
the rebels on board OF them are suffer
Ing from sickness, Wounds and lack OF
proper food supplies. Their temporary
wants have been supplied, with the con-
sent OF the Brazilian Minister, who has
received advices from Rio de Janeiro
saying that a general amnesty will be
granted to the insurgent rank and file,
and that the Brazilian Government will
pay the quarantine expenses of the
ships II they are surrendered to the Bra
lillian Minister.
Consequently. the Argentine Govern
ment, with the consent of the rebel
leaders. Is now experimenting the de-
livery OF the five war vessels to the
brazilian Minister. n this will have
peen accomplished by the time this de-
spatch reaches the United States.
Inc crews OF the rebe' ships are being
d'sembarked at the lazaretto here, and
VIII be cared for until further orders
are received from Rio de Janeiro. II ia
believed that when the men and sbins
are In a proper condition they Will
rejoin the Brazilian vessels under Cow
officers and return to Rio do
Janeiro.

notined the Government Of Uruguay

VIII be paid by the Brazilian Govern
ment' n that they may all, with the
exception OF the leaders, return TO
Brazil with no fear OF being severely
punished for the part which they have
taken in the rebellion.
IL is understood that President Peixoto
In adopting this wise and lenient nol,cv
has acted under the advice of a foreign
power.
Nothing seems to be known of the ul-
innate destination of Admiral de Mello
and Gen. salgado, though It is believed
that the former will take the earliest
opportunity OF escaping to some foreign
country. where he ran hide himself for
the rest OF his life. On all sides the
utmost contempt is expressed for De
Mello. whose base desertion Of Admiral
da Cana is looked upon as being a piece
OF cowardly treachery.
1t is openly stated that Da CANA
proposes to seek out De Mello and COM
pei him to meet him In mortal combat.
II the rebel Admiral falls into the
hands Of President Peixoto there is
little doubt that he will be tried
by court-martial and shot.

Mayor Gilroy thinks the Chamber of
Commerce Rapid Transit plan smacks
Of Socialism Rosh! II smacks Of bust
ness. and promises results OF lasting
benefit to the city. 1t does not propose
that the city shall crowd private capital
cut of n legitimate field. 1t authorizes
the city to 10 "A piece Of public work
which Is essential to the healthy life and
growth of New York. Private capital,
giving sufficient guarantee that this
great work would be well and promptly
accomplished, would still have the first
opportunity to proceed, even under the
proposed law. But since there
must be rapid transit, whether pri-
vate or public capital builds It, 1t is
justly and imperatively demanded that,
failing to find other builders Of the
needed system. the city shall have the
power to 20 ahead on it's own account.

Art for Children.

The children's room in every house
ought to be fitted out with a blackboard.
Any painter will coat a section of the
wall with blackboard staining for a few
cents, or If here is no painter convent
ent, sheets of slated paper may be
tackled up against the wall, and the re-
suit Is quite satisfactory. A box of
colored chalks and a book of outline
prints will furnish the materials
for drawing and sketching, and many
an hour that would otherwise be passed
in mischief, will be employed by the
youngsters in learning to draw. There
is no better way of keeping the chill
dren pleasantly and proftably employed,
and the cost will not equal that of a
single box of candy.

RESCUE OF BATTERY PARK.

Some months ago "The Evening
World made an earnest attempt to
obtain the removal OF all those un-
slightly obstructions at the sea val in
Battery Park which shut out from the
park visitors the view OF the bay and
the shipping.
There was a dock for an excursion
line Of steamers: IA dock for t%ugboats; "A
dock for n Government Post-Ofiice CON
tractor; n dock for the hre-boa New
Yorker, besides II private bath struc-
ture which had no more right to be
there than a billiard saloon would have
in the Executive Chamber OF the City
Hall.
Every one of these Instructions was
Illegal. The control of the water front
along the Battery Park rests in the
Park Department, n the law prohibits
the use of the sea wall for docks.
The Dock commissioners had usurped
authority over the water front and re-
fused to remove the distractions, on
the ground that Battery Park was only
used by immigrants and ~loafers.
Mayor Gilroy, however. sympnthized
with The Evening Worlds efforts to
secure for the park visitors an unob-
structed view of the bay, and promised
that when the dock leases expired the
should not be renewed. He has kept his
word, and now 1t has been determined
to remove all the docks unlawfully con
structed along the sea wall. Naturally,
the private bath speculation will have
to go too.
The establishment of the Castle Gar
den Aquarium makes this action OF the
authorities all the more acceptable
When the unsightly distractions are
removed, the Park Department shoult

the park and to supply ample seats for
the accommodation of the thousand,
