A ROCHESTER, EXPERIMENT.

Ingenious and we'll disposed people are trying to device schemes to help the poor, and some of the schemes are interesting. For instance, that of rome Rochester peo pie, who are about to establish per cent. pawn office. Although the pawn of flee is to be conducted on business prinoi- pIes, it is calculated to reach certain classes in the community, and them only. There are industrious, sober and deserving peo- pie who are strangers to pawn offices, and who will suffer before they will accept charity. Many of them are iu good circumstances, save for the fact that they are out of employment. Loaning from the ordinary money lender means paying an amount in interest which frequently, in case of re- peated renewals, equals the amount of the original loan, and almost e frequently means the loss of the collateral security as we'll. In practical way the workings of the new pawn office will be ss follows: When person wishes to obtain @ loan for three months on any article of value, 1t will be simply necessary for him or her to call upon one of the members If 8 committee and satisfy that committeeman that the case is . worthy one, and receive @ card, which will entitle him or her to the bsne- Ats of the pawn office. Thenceforward the course Is plain. The manager of the pawn office will then loan fair percentage of the value of the article to be pledged, on e note for three months, at the rate oi per cent. per annum interest. It will bs c simple business transaction, and thu
 manager will be under the necessity oi
 exacting abundant security. It will thu
 be seen that the establishment will difel
 from other pawn offices only in the fac
 that the customers will be limited as indi
 cated, and the legal rate of interest onl,
 will be charged.
 It has been asserted by those who ough
 to know that pawn ofice cannot be rul
 on 6 per cent. interest Tate except at
 loss. The Rochester experiment will b
 watched with interest by all interested il
 philanthropic plans.

Is TT THE sAME mAYORa


 There have been few, if any, more in- spiring, comforting and satisfying sights seen in all the life of New Haven than that gloriously viaibls when Mayor Sargent seated himself upon the City Charter. That fitting and famous act announced to all who saw or heard of it that New Haven had . Mayor who did not look upon him. self as an irresponsible boss, but who did look upon himself as chosen to act only within and by the law. Seeing him firmly seated on the charter everybody felt that he was safe, that the city was safe and that the charter wouldn't get away. So all be- came quiet, business went on as usual, and deep ard general gratitude was felt toward the Mayor for knowing when to sit down and what to sit upon.
 But where are we nowi Is that Mayor who made the City Charter his throne and seat of justice the same who cut up such shines in the board of aldermen Tuesday evening" What has become Of tns respect he showed for law when he made his firm and famous sitting-downa Has the char ter slid from under him and got away 50 that he does not know that 1t does not give him the right to act as he did in the appointment of committees of the board! Has he become possessed of the idea that the charter can be trampled on by him as well as sat upon2 Is it his notion that the board of aldermen doesn't need any rules! | t- a~5 teous hurry to sct before the board could make any rulesi
 When he solemnly and safely seated himself on the City Charter in time of trouble and confusion the Mayor showed the quality of a patriot and a statesman. When he exhibited himself as boss in the board of aldermen he showed the quality of 8 politician too eager to play his game to be willing to play fair.

 A hat has made its appearance that has very much the cut of the pretty Salvation Army girls headgear. It has the same d. turing brim, coming low over the forehead and scooping down about the ears, but here resemblance ceases It is of smooth felt and comes usually In eminenee. A single plume stands high at the sids and is faintly straw color deepening at the tip into purple. Straw oolored ribbon knotted in sprangly bow sprawls we'll about the dropping brim and deep red rose is set against the hair ct the back. The only thing needed is a sweet young face under the brim, but the face would after all be just as young and just e sweet under "Sslvation" hat, which shows how little use fashion is-
 If you want to look just right your hat must be like flower garden, your bodice must suggest . lamp shade and your akirt an umbrella. These are fundamental rules and all the rest is mere detail.

ANOTHER EARLY BIRD.
 Those who are scanning the political skies in search of early birds after the worm known as the gubsrnatorial nomina- ton have made another interesting discev- cry. Yesterday morning we reported that the Hon. Charles Addison Russell of Kill lipgly had been seen on the wing, and now we are told that the Hon. o. Vincent Coffin of Aiddletown is also an early bird.
 The idea of MT. CoHin's friends Is that 1t is about time Aiddlesex county had . governor to be personally and locally proud of, inasmuch ss she has never had one, and, If we are not mistaken, has never even got 50 far as to capture the nomination. They think also that New Haven county ought to be especially friendly to them in the preliminary work, as they have often responded most oheerfnlly and zsslously to appeals for help from this county.
 We thought MT. Russell's flight would not long be 6 lonely one, and both he and MT. Coffin will have more company soon.

train on the Michigan Central railroad
after il drew 10 a standstill one summer
afternoon WAS little old woman IL
black. a wisp of gray hair struggled
from under IN old fashioned poke bon
net, and a pair Of kindly blue eve:
looked out from behind her steel trimmed
spectacles- In one hand she carried a
huge, shiny valise, the key of which
was tied 20 the handle with a strip Of
calico cloth. When she was part way up
the platform, she stopped, with n trou-
bled look, and watched the bagga2emya
toll by with their loaded trucks. Pres
emily she dropped the valise and opened
a big black fan which was fastened -
her waist by g velvet ribbon. After she
had waited some time one Of the depot
ushers came along and asked if he could
be of any service 10 her.
why, thank you, think not, - she
answered Il am waiting for Dick Rot
inson.
The depot usher hurried on and paid
no more attention to the little old WON
an When he came back a half hour
later, she was still standing where he
had left her, gently tanning herself
with the black fan. Has your friend
come yet?' asked the usher.
NO" she answered. His watcn
must have been slow"
did he expect you by this train?'
well, you see, it's this way: Last
summer Dick and his wife came over 10
Briggsburg to visit the Coopers. While
they We're there they came over often 10
my place 10 get drink of buttermilk.
Well, we got friendly, and Sarah told
me a lot of things about Chicago, and
that she couldn't by no manner OF
means get buttermilk in the city. Be
fore Dick went back he came around
and says: Mrs. Beggs, just take run
up TO Chicago next summer and visit
US Let US know when you're coming,
and I'll meet You at the depot. And 50
I'm here. and I've got three jars Of
fresh buttermilk for them III that bag. "
The depot usher helped the little old
woman TO seat iii the waiting room,
and then he searched the directory for
Richard Robinson. His charge couldn't
help him much, because she didn' t know
Dicks occupation.
All L know, she explained, =
that he's genuine gentleman, and If
he had got my letter he'd "a been here. "
The usher made a list of two or three
addresses and put the woman in charge
of trusty cabman, with instructions to
find Dick. Two hours later the driver
came back with the report that his fare
was delivering her buttermilk.-Chi-

SCOrDiOnS.

The natives of Lucca, in Italy, assert
that the scorpion will destroy itself If
exposed to a sudden light, and a writer
in Nature said that his informant and
her friends, while residing during the
summer months at the baths of Lucca,
were much annoyed by the intrusion of
small black scorpions into the house
and their being secreted among the bed
clothes, in shoes and in other articles OF
dress; that they soon became adopts III
catching the scorpions and disposing OF
them in the manner suggested. This
consisted in combining the animal under
an inverted drinking glass or tumbler
below which card was inserted when
the capture was made and then waiting
till dark, suddenly bringing the light OF
a candle near to the glass in which the
animal was confined. No sooner was
this done than the scorpion invariably
showed signs of great excitement, run
ming round and round the interior of
the tumbler with reckless velocity for a
number of times.
"This state having lasted for a minute
or more, the animal suddenly became
quiet, and turning its tail, or the hinder
part of its body, over its back, brought
its recurved sting down upon the mid
die of the head, and piercing it forcibly
III few seconds became quite motion
less, and, in fact, quite dead This OBJ
servation was repeated very frequently
in truth, it was adopted as the best
plan of getting rid of the pests, and the
young people We're in the habit of han
ding them with impunity Immediately
after they were so killed and of preserv-
ing many of them as curiosities. 1t is
known that scorpions kill themselves
when surrounded by ring of fire.
