the "Nipper's" governor" received
.rough punishment at jacksonville To
satisfy the whole Mitchell family, In
Guiding Pony Moore. Esq, and all
Charley's other relatives by marriage.
Little Charley didn't come to America
to whip anybody. He didn't think hat
would be necessary. as ne had looked
upon his glorious-musclei governor as
a world heater. The "Nipper' had only
one object In crossing the Atlantic, which
was to see his father knock out Jim Cor

fist and the governor was the party
put TO sleep. the "Nipper" has been fab
bergasted ever since and has not much

tween thirty and thirty-hve years OF age. and
belonging to three social clubs In this city. the
member OF which are all business men. or late
we hav,. ia the clubs. been debating the letters
In The Evening World" md the general opinion
expressed on the young ladies' OF New York is
that they are con-r'ted in the highest degree and
impolits to gentlemen, who, they consider. exist
only to serve as their most humble servants. and
whose earnings. when once married. must go to
bedccR these demigoddesses In nnery and be spent
for amusemcnts to keep them In good humor. To
sum up. We know that this Is what keeps any
number OF lis from getting married. although we
should above all like the comforts OF a home OF
our own. Most Of US have travelled In foreign
Countries. and always observed there that Young
ladies' behavior towards gentlemen was far SUI
perior to that OF the young ladies' OF New York.

BUTTs's RAPID TRANSIT IDEA.
Mr.. Gilroy Considers it Superior
to Wilson's Plan.
The Mayor Intimates that II May
Get His Approval.

Assemblyman Butts has proposed a
solution Of the rapid transit problem
which Mayor Gilroy considers Infinitely
superior to the Wilson underground
plan. and which may get the Mayors
approval.
Mr.. Butts's proposition has Been EN-
bodied in a bill introduced by him in the
Assembly at Albany. 1t provides for the
appointment of a new Rapid Transit
Commission to consist Of three members.
At the coming Fall election tn. question
IL to be submitted to "A vote Of the cleo
tors OF Nav York city as to whether or
not the city should build the road. II a
majority OF the people vote to build the
road, then the commissioners must go
on with the construction Of 1t az rapidly
as possible. II the people vote against
building the road must be sold at public
auction. The sale carries with II the
privilege OF operating the road for fifty
years.
Should "A majority Of votes. however,
be- cast in favor OF the construction Of
the road by the City, at the following
general election a vote ~ to be taken on
the operation OF the road by the city. n
this is carried. then the Rapid Transit
Commission must see to the equipment
and management of the road. On. the
ed, the Commissioners must sell the right
to operate the road for fftv years.
"Mr. Butts's plan Ia infinitely superior
to the Wilson scheme, because 1t does
not pledge the city's credit for the bene-
fit OF a private enterprise" said the
Mayor to-day. II am in favor OF Mr..
Butts's bill n it Is demonstrated clearly

effort to enlist the aid OF private capital

Household Hints.

To keep tortoise-shell combs bright rub
them after each wearing with soft
leather. When they become dim clean
with rottens;ore and oil applied with
channels.
In cleaning japanned goods never use
warm water. Wet a cloth slightly IN
warm water and rub the article to Be
cleaned. Should IN smear appear
sprinkle with -four and wipe dry.
II housewives will rub the copper bot
tom OF their conee-pot, tea-kettie. &C..
with a mixture Of buttermills md salt
they will find It b%rightens with much
less effort than with ashes.
One OF the best ways to clean or polish
n stove is to add a little turpentins to
the backing. Just enough to wet 1t or
soften It. 1t remains on the stove longer
and locks brighter han when wet with
water.

Two of the persons implicated In the
Mccarthy case, Benrdsley and MunZin-

she promised Kim that II she escaped

answer He says Mrs. MCCarthy's
story Is false. and adds that he would not
