The newest things in tea balls are es-
pecially designed for wedding gifts and
are put UP in tempting cases, which add
greatly to their worth. They are lovely
as objects. and no doubt many will he
sent to prospective brides, but as tea
balls they are open to criticism. Expert
tea-makers assure US that no whit OF
aroma must be allowed to escape, that
the pot must be kept closed, and even
the spout must have lid. There
charming devices have handles Of
enamel. handles that are inlaid and
handles that are decorative delights.
but they entail an open pot, and must
be dangled from the fingers in place OF
being dropped into the boiling water.
As consequence. the tea must lose. but
! as they are new and handsome addi-
tions to the tea table, they will. no
doubt, become popular.

wlTNEss-BRIBING TRIED.

II appears that Lexow witnesses need
more than protection from persecution.
They need also to be guarded from temp
tation The story comes out that two
men who gave valuable testimony at the
recent session OF the Committee have
been approached with offers of official
positions. The rendering OF the places
came in such fashion that there could
be no doubt that the intent was to buy
the silence OF the two witnesses. For
tunately they were men not to be caught
that way. Instead of getting pleased.
they got mad and exposed the attempted
bribery.
1t IL evident, from all sorts OF circum-
stances. that Sept. 10 Is not too early for
| the Lexow Committee to reassemble and
resume its inquiries in this city. The
earnest tone which the investigation as
sumed under the direction OF Mr.. Con
made a marked impression in the cor
rupt quarters towards which II was d.
rected. 1t forced the Police Department
to take the inquisitorial steps on Its part
which have led to the present prevalence
OF "pantatasis.' But II also inspired de-
sires for revenge and a longing for
cover" which have led to various tam
| perngs with the witnesses-attempts at
buldozing and attempts at persuasion
for a price. These tamperings should be
matters for prompt and rigid inquiry
when the Committee meets again.

SHIPS AND FORTS.

1t would be worth while to get the
true story OF the attack by the japanese
fleet upon the Chinese shore defenses at
Wei-Hai-Wei and Port Arthur.
After spending "A great many millions
OF dollars on battleships, great guns and
forts, we are anxious to know just how
the great modern inventions OF destruc-
ton and defense act In real warfare.
Big guns were used on land during the
siege OF Paris, but no test of land de-
lenses against naval attack under
the modern conditions OF war has yet
been made.
1t looks very much as if the modern
protected fort with the disappearing
Armstrong gun had been too much for
the japanese fleet. /, Is very possible
that the fire of the Chinese was bad.
1t would be very strange II they should
show proficiency in the handling Of the
monstrous yet delicate machinery OF a
great breechloader. Yet II looks as II
the fleet had been utterly unable to
reach the fort. and had no alternative
but to retire. In other words. the mod
ern land defense proved itself impreg-
nable from attack by sea.
The incident has an important bearing
on the question OF defending the coasts
OF this country. 1t is of especial i'm
portance to the great city Of New York,
which is the central point in our sys-
TEN OF coast defenses.

NEW SWlTCHMEN'S UNION.

KANSAS CITY, Aug. bat a mass
meeting last night 400 local switchmen
helped organize the "Switchmen's Union
OF Kansas CitS" which Is a starter in
the direction of new National switch
mems organization. to take the place of
that just recently disbanded.
An address was issued to sWitchmen
OF this country and Canada asking them
to send delegates to a National Conven-

perfect the new organization. Il. J. Nc

CHICAGO. Aug. ia meeting OF the
Railway Yardmen's Union was held last
night. The meeting was to have taken
steps towards forming new union,
which Is intended to take the place OF
the defunct Switchmen's Mutual Aid As
ISOLATION. There was a small attendance
at the meeting. and it was adjourned
after those present had discussed the

THE TARIFF CRISIS.

The struggle over the tariff at Wash
ington has now reached a point where
IL looks as II there was no choice ex-
cept between the Senate Tariff bill and
no Tariff bill at al. II this ia really
the case, IL success on the lines laid
down by the Wilson BILL by the Presi-
dents letter and by the Chicago plat
form is no longer possible, then moth
ing remains except to take what We
can get. and accept the Senate bill as
the lesser of two evils.
This is not what the people OF this
country wanted, it IL not what they
vot d for. and 1t is not the bill which
the country needs. But the close margin
of strength in the Senate has placed the
balance OF power in the hands Of a lit
tie group identified with the cause OF
monopolies and trusts, and the invari-
able current of modern legislation has
shown us that when the interests of
the trusts get control OF any situation
the rights of the people are sacrificed.
1t is a sad alternative to accept, a
humiliating confession to make, but II Is

when PaperinE Walls.

The following rules are for the scrap
ing and treatment OF walls Of various
kinds preparatory to papering:
IL the walls have been previously
papered II is advisable to scrape Off old
paper, not only from a sanitary stand
point, but also to insure a perfect lob.
Paper-hangers cannot be too vigorous in
advising customers to have walls and
ceilings scraped previous to repapering.
To remove ordinary wall paper soak
the paper by applying hot water with an
old brush, and then scraping with hand
| or pole scraper.
Heavy papers, such as feathers and
felts. should be treated to a coat Of hot
paste. thinned down to the consistency
OF cream. After few minutes soaking
remove by scraping.
| Whitewashed walls should be scraped,
after thoroughly wetting the walls with
thin paste or water, then size with
strong sizing. II whitewash is not thick
or scaly a strong solution of vinegar
will answer all purposes.
| For damp walls We advise either one,
two or three coats of shellac over the
damp surface, or tinfol, which is put up
in sheets, can be tackled and pasted over
the damp spots.
For vanished paper mix about two
pounds OF common brown sugar or mo-
lasses to one-half bucket of water, then
apply like sizing. This mixture is also
good for oil-painted walls. Scraping.
however, is preferred to either.
For ol-painted walls dissolve two
pounds of pearl ash in bucket of water
and apply like sizing.
For kalsomined walls. wash walls and
ceilings with large sponge, then apply
: ordinary sizing. New walls should have

started the prejudice he recognizes: the ques-
ton is rather, Is The prejudice las he calls ~
well founded! SO far as know all scientific
men who have looked into the subject are agreed
that smoking paper cigarettes is injurious in
exact proportion to their use. The slow COM
bustion OF paper, by inhaling the acrid and irri-
tatlng fumes drawn into the lungs through the
mouth, leads to chronic Inflammation OF the mucous
membranes OF the mouth nose and throat, and
where there Is any latent hereditary tendency
to cancer in the system II is pretty apt to be
developed in the mouth or throat The assertion
OF 'N. Q. A" that there are no chemicals in

WORK FOR A BETTER NEW YORK!

But little more than two months now
lntervenes before the election day upon
which so many issues vital to the NUM-
cipal interests OF New York should be
decided. Within these two months such
a campaign OF education should be car

conducted before. The people have been
bossed SO long. and the reign OF bossism
has seemed so absolute, that they have
given up counting on ways and means
for the revolt to which they should he

must be stirred up. interested, inspired
