DRINKS OVER a COFFIN COUNTER.

The Parisian, straining After che Horrible,
Introduces . Grewsome Custom.
The Paris correspondent Of the Glas-
gov Herald has been dwelling on the.
strange taste for the horrible and arew-
some which at the present moment char
acterizes the performances at cafe con-
certs in 'sthe gay city, The culminat-
ing point in this direction seems to have
been reached at q cabaret just opened
in the Boulevard Rochechouart. which
goes by the name of the Cabaret de Ia
Mort.
This grimly baptized place Of amuse-
ment is but a few yards distant from the
popular music hall known as the Gazette
Rochechouart, where Clicking fun is the
order Of the day, and songs Of too broad
q description to suit the taste of Senator
Beranger are encored with indescribable
enthusiasm by an audience composed of
the peculiar class Of society to be met
with in the Montmartre district and it's
surroundings.
Remembering the traditional respect
and veneration in which the French hold
the dead, the correspondent was sur
prised to find it largely patronized. On
entering the low rooted house, the door
of which is ornamented with deaths
head and crossbones, a visitor is some
what taken aback to find himself in the
presence Of number of .''croquemorts''
(mutes), dressed precisely as they are for
a funeral. These are the walters, who
are forbidden to smile, to talk cheerfully
or to accept any gratuity, and whose
solemn faces, very suggestive attire, lit
up by weird green light, and generally
mournful aspect cast chilly feeling
upon one, in spite of the knowledge that
all is assumed.
There was, moreover, very unpleas-
ant smell about the place, due, no doubt,
to the fact that the collins which do duty
as tables are quite new. At these collins
score or so Of customers were seated-a
few women among them drinking beer,
coffee or liquor. The whitewashed walls
of the room are adorned, as matter Of
course, with suitable engravings, draw
ings or pictures. There are skeletons
everywhere guillotine by way of
change-in q word, a delightful exhibi-
ton Of the horrible and sinister. Ano-
tice is posted up to the effect that on Fri
day (the unlucky day of the week. the
charge for refreshments of all kinds is
raised half franc, and that on that and
every other day the charge made for a
block or grog gives the customer the
right to visit the cellars beneath the caba-
ret. to which he is attracted by the infor-
nation that there he will see what be-
comes Of his body after death.

Angel and Devil Fancy Ban.

Lady Caithness, who is an adept in
theosophy and reconciles spiritualism
with the theories Of the late Nine. Bla-
vatsky who, she says, visited her after
death is going, q Paris correspondent
tells us, to issue invitations for q angels
and demons fancy ball. An orange ball
at one Of the fashionable Paris clubs is
talked Of as probable. All accepting in
Vitations will expected to wear orange
colored costumes.

The Southern Negro.

---s- LILO SOACn0Tn negro.
Until northerner visits the ground
himself he has not an accurate idea of
the problem that oonfronts the south in
the future Of the negro. Northern men
who have taken up their residence in the
former slave states have been accused Of
turning traitor and toadying to the south
ern sentiment on the negro question In
order to succeed in business. It is fact,
that even the views of the most
radical friends Of the black man are
modified by a stay in the south.
In the north the blacks are in the mi
nority. They are stimulated by the in
f1uence Of the white people among whom
they live to clean themselves up, to wear
whole clothing, to educate themselves
and save money. henorthern negro can
meet on equal terms in many instances
the most cultivated white people. In
some Of the southern states the blacks
are SO numerous that it would take a
half century for the cleanest and most
thrifty of white people to induct them
into permanently better ways. One Wis
iting these black states for the first time
is wildly impressed with the difference
between the northern and southern ne
gro. The southern black is stupider,
more ignorant and horribly dirty in his
person. This last seems the most hope
less feature in the case. If the southern
black seemed to have any pride as to a
clean skin and whole garments, then i'm
provement in the moral and intellectual
region might be looked for. But the
southern negro seems even blacker in
color than the northern one. There is
as much difference between the two as
between a poverty stricken Russian Jew
just landed and Belmont or Roths-
child.
It is not Latin and Greek or a profess
sional education that the southern negro
wants. He must first of all be taught
to earn his own living systematically
and faithfully. He wants industrial ed
ucation most Of all. Particularly he
should be instructed in improved meth
DDS Of agriculture. To this end the ex-
pertinent stations in the south ought to
labor increasingly. A great future is
before the south, especially in products
of the soil. The negro is the laborer best
adapted to tilling that soil. Reading,
writing and arithmetic enough to enable
him to keep accounts constitute book ed
ucation sufficient for him in the face of
the. greater need Of industrial instruc-
ton. North should unite with south
in one great effort to elevate the negro
by giving him scientific industrial
training. It is the solution Of the prob
lem that faces the south.

KEEP THE STREETS CLEAN
Good Drainage and Good Health Insepa-
1oblo Conditions. &.

H. 5.t----
The wide awake, prosperous, busy
town differs as much in appearance as
it does in manner from the sleepy, care
less community that let's things take care
Of themselves. What contrast the we'll
paved and we'll kept streets Of the for
mer present to the untidy and neglected
aspect Of the latterl The capitalist, the
artisan, the homeseeker, can but be inn
pressed with the evidences Of thrift and
energy that are inseparable from clean
illness and order. As consequence the
one rapidly advances in wealth and pop
ulation, while tho other stands still If
it does not which is prob ble execute
a backward movement. 5
The first duty Of town is to provide
for the health Of the residents that is,
SO far as it is possible to do SO by pre-
ventive measures. Cleanliness is next to
godliness, and pure water and a scien-
titic sewerage system are indispensable
aids to the physical and moral welfare
Of the community. In far too many To-
calities is the question Of drainage left
to take care Of itself, and it remains a
perpetual menace to the public health,
sooner or later to break forth with dire
results
A system Of drainage should embrace
not only the removal Of storm water
which falls upon the streets, but also
the water from sinks, closets, factories
and other sources. All such should have
direct connection with sewers having an
outlet in the nearest water course The
street cutters should be kept free from
rubbish and have such perfect grade
that no water will find Judgment along
the streets on either side. Money judi
ciously spent in this work under the su-
pervision Of a competent engineer is a
safe and sure investment that will be
returned with compound interest In
our own town there is much room for
improvement in this direction, and each
business man and householder owes it
to himself and his neighbor to help
along this necessary work.
In the matter Of streets, too we are
far from perfect. With a little more
care in the details Of construction and
more systematic and thorough methods
OF keeping them free from sticks, stones
and other accumulations Of rubbish our
thoroughfares would be credit and a
pride instead of, in some cases, an eye
sore and cause for modification. AS in
the larger cities, ordinances fixing pen
alties for dumping ashes and other
household refuse to the streets should be
enforced, as well as forbidding the load
Ing Of wagons with dirt, coal, wood,
etc., in such a manner that part of
the contents will be distributed along
the route of their passage. A proper SUI
pervision of these matters, with a liberal
distribution of the printed ordinances,
will go far toward realizing the desired
neafness

TREES IN THE TOWN. 7

a love Of the beautiful is Unborn ia
man. Trees are source Of never failing
enjoyment to jewellers in the town, and
no town can be beautif full without them.
How refreshing their shade in summer.
and the dreariness of winter is rendered
less desolate BY their presence. Senti-
ment aside, trees have direct value, A
tree shaded avenue is a much more de-
sirable place Of residence than one which
lacks their adornment Property is more
valuable on this street, and landlords
demand and receive a higher rate of
rent. The houses are more pretentious,
the lawns are green and smoothly shay
en-, and beds of flowers and punches Of
shrubbery bear witness to the friendly
rivalry among the jewellers to excel in
the beautiful A comparatively small
outlay would do much to beautify our
town. Once planted and properly guard
ed from destruction, trees require little
care and in a few years will amply rec
ompense us for trouble and money ex-
pended
The lighting Of streets at night is a
subject Of great Importance to the peo-
pie Of a community. The benefits are
many and far outweigh any question of
cost or economy. How many accidents
that have caused loss Of life and limb
are due to insuffo GENTLY lighted or Who'll
" dark streets! How many crimes have
been committed under cover of darkness
that would never have been perpetrated
had there been light to reveal the robber
or assassin to his intended victim! The
development Of electricity has made it
possible to light our streets at night at
a small expense. No costly plant is re-
quired, and the outlay for labor to put
up the wires is nominal
The lighting Of the business section is
not enough. It is good so far as it goes,
but it does not go far. The personal
safety and convenience Of every citizen
demand that our streets shall be go H.
Illuminated that he may leave his home
after dark without danger Of breaking
his limbs or having his head smashed
by some enterprising footpad. 49,

in composite case composed of case

The ground on which the law is de-

opportunity to show that it was not out
of touch with the people by appointing
this committee.
The country, he said, was on the verge

would regret it in the near future. The
times were ripe for such movements, but
this was peaceful body of men, coming
here to lay their grievances before con-

Mr.. PETER was followed by Senator Al

approving of Coxey's action, asserted the
perfect right of Coxey and bis followers
TO come to Washington if they chose,
and not only that, but they had right
to come into the capitol and occupy the
galleries of the senate, and it would be
unwise on the part of the senate to refuse
them this privilege.
They had also right to be heard, and
no man, whether he be a senator or a
citizen, had a right to deny them that
right He bitterly denounced the
report that Gen. Ordway, of the national
guard of the District of Columbia was
preparing to mobilize the militia at the
confines of the District of Columbia
This man is coming here with per-
feet right" continued Mr.. Allen, with
rights which under the constitution are
as sacred as those of any other man,
woman or child and yet we witness the
spectacle of this city being thrown into
convulsions over the expectation of
seeing this peaceful body of men come

with the militia.

governor and the sheriff, with a view to
seeing which of, them should be in con-
troll Of the militia
The demeanor of each has indicated
all along that he was perfectly willing
to drop out and let the burden of respOn-
sibility fall upon the shoulders of the
other, but now that the sheriff has got
ten out from under, he proposes to stay,
and he did not confer with the governor.

and with weeks growth of whiskers

is now a likelihood that Topeka Will
send her quota in charge of some soap

Interested in the commonweal cause,

Mr.. Clemens will make a speech; one
of those speeches which only he can
make, that almost persuades the hearers
that the police are worse than Ekessians
and that it is better to resist oppression
by any means but the ballot box Judge
John Guthrie told Mr. Clemens that he
would make speech also, and Noah Allen
will be another speaker. Major T. j. An
derson was asked to make "A speech
and he said, "Oh, yes, certainly. 1 will
make a speech, and furnish box-cars as
far as Chicago. lam glad the meeting
is going to be heidi But the major
laughed in such way that he left his
hearers in doubt.
1t is said that there is plenty of "talent"
in Topeka to form such an army at least
100 strong. If all the hoboes around the
railroad yards who say they want to 60
to Washington would enlist. an army
could be started out of Topeka, in charge
of some able bodied "unknown," larger
than Coxey's army of followers.

HAVE THEY AUTHORITY 4?

Cun Railroad Commissioners Make a Ru-
inous Rate Schedule IL They Choose?
The action of the railroads yesterday
in denying the right of the board of com
missioners to adjust general freight rates
was discussed considerably.
A JOURNAL reporter said to Attorney
General Little: ''Do you think that the
board of railroad commissioners has a
legal right to readjust all freight rates
in the slater"
Il think the supreme court he repli-
ed, "in the Symns grocery case have
unqualified1y decided that it is within
the power of the railroad commissioners
to fix schedule for all commerce of the
state. Last winter the Dunsmore house
passed maximum freight bill. By that
bill it was intended to regulate freight
in Kansas. But the bill failed of pas
sage and now since the supreme court
has decided that the board of railroad
commissioners has power to fix sched-
ule of rates. the board of commissioners
will accomplish through that decision
what was intended to be accomplished
by the maximum freight bill.
THE claims of the railroad com panies
that they are not making any money and
that many of their roads are in the hands
of receivers is not properly understood
by the public. These roads are mOrtgaged
to double and in some instances to three
times the cost of building them and the
interest on these mortgages is paid by
excessive freight rates. This is not fair
to the public If these roads were mort
gagged to only the cost of building them
the rail road companies could reduce the
present schedule 20 per cent and make
fair profits
Gov. Lewelling thinks that the rail
roads asked too much time and that 10
days would have been enough time to
permit them to prepare all data neces-
sary.
