Moore for Assault.

When the case Of Pony Moore.
charged with assault on Conductor
Cohen, of the Broadway cable car line,
came up in the Court of Special SEES
sions this morning. Lawyer Hyman,
counsel for Cohen, requested an ad-
journment in order that a witness

Louis J, Grant and Daniel J. O'Reilly.
counsel for Moore, objected to the de-
lay, but the Court set the case down
for next Wednesday.
There was a large CROWD In court to
see Pony" and his son-in-law Charley
Mitchell. who Is a witness in the case.
There was more to trouble Moore than
the postponement of the case, or the
anxiety as to Its outcome. He was
served with a to-day from the
Superior Court. signed by Judge Dugro.
in a civil suit for $4,000, which was
brought by Cohen through Lawyer Quit
man, Mitchell passed the document to
Lawyer Grant as they walked up Cen
tire street.
lawyer Quitman says that he will
apply to Judge Dugro to-day for a civil
order Of arrest, and 1t Is quite possible
that Pony" may be arrested for the
third time within five days.

The Overworked Drug Clerk.

To the Editor:
| think that We drug clerks are In a positive
need Of organization. We need a consolidation Of
tho rmaller societies TO form a protective union
for both proprietors and clerks. What other pro-
fession has such miserable. inhuman hours as We
have From ! o'clock mornings until II to IL

and then only to go to bed in a contrivsnc.
called a bed. hut which in reality is nothing more
or less than an uncomfortable bunk, TO which a
Bowery lodging house bed must 10 a divan! This
bed Is usually placed in the rear Of the store,
among the poisonous fumes OF acids, &c. But even
then the much needed rest is often disturbed by
some person for a bottle Of soothing syrup or
plaster. and less often a prescription. It is only
Justice to the great public that their medicines
shall be put up just as correctly at 2 o'clock at
night rs 9 o'clock in the morning. but It is an
established fact that seven cish;hs OF all mis-
takes occur after I o'clock at night. and why?
Simply because the imrossihility Of being any
thing else but servants OF the laws Of nature: and
why should any mortal being. who has the least
spark Of reason, blame a tirei, overworked clerk
for not being a mere machine? Tell me II any
bank clerk, II worked seventeen to eighteen hours
a day for a month, could add up correctly one
row Of figures at IL o'clock at night, let alone
being woke up an hour or two after retiring7

Annoyed on Centre street.

To the Editor:
I wish to call attention to a nuisance that ex-
lists at the corner of Centre and Chambers streets.
| frequently have occasion to pass up Centre street
towards the Post-Ofice about II p. NJ, and ! am
nearly always annoyed by women. who seem to
make their headquarters around the pole and In
the shade of the electric light lamp at the south
west corner OF Centre and Chambers streets. Lone.
ly pedestrians who may seem likely prey passing
thIS way after . or go p. NJ. meet with a storm
OF entreaties, solicitations or vulgar remarks.
The place No. II Centre street Is pointed out
as being a desirable place to patronizc. The side
walk from the commencement Of Centre street
towards Chambers street is patrolled by the vul-
lures. Two policemen sometimes meet under the
awning OF the saloon opposite Engine House No.
I, yet on such occasions these birds OF prey do
not take to flight. How is 1t? DO the police not
know? Trusting that this may be OF benefit in
obtaining a remedy to such a disgrace,

Height of Woman. Ambition.

A vast deal of nonsense is talked and
written about woman's ambition, and
the dizzy heights to which her mission
may lead. To the multitude OF men self
support is the plane of ~contentment, and
the multitude of women will hardly
reach a higher plane. Women who are
self-sustaining are legion, while the
woman who has made a fortune is a
rara avis. The only rich women in any
community are rich by the courtesy Of
men whose wives or daughters they hap
pen to be, or whose husbands or fathers
dying, have left them money.

DOING SOMETHING FOR THEMSELVES.

The Socialist meeting at the Windsor
Theatre on the Bowery last night was
attended by over a thousand people,
and the speakers were rather violent
in their u~tterances. Think" said one
of them, "of eighty thousand working
people, desperate with hunger and fran
tic with suffering. and the State doing
nothing. II something Is not immedi-
ately done for the unemployed. they will
do something for themselves"
The State is the people, and the peo-
pie are doing very much for the unem-
ployed workingmen of the city and the
workingmen are doing much for them
selves. Never was b~enevolence more ac-
tive and nobler than 1t Is at this time.
and the authorities, both of the State
and the city, are seeking to hasten on
those public works hat will give en-
ployment to the idle. Never have the
honest toilers shown more strikingly
that they are deserving of the sympathy
and aid of their fellow-men than during
this Winter of suffering, by their patient
endurance and their respect for law and
order.
The agitators who seek to incite them
to lawlessness and violence are their
worst enemies. They e%xaggerate the
evils, bad enough without ex%aggeration,
and II they could find men mad enough
to back up their incendiary teachings by
acts they would delay the relief now
happily near at hand. with the renewal
of confidence will come restored prosper
ity. and the workingmen Of New York
will find that they rave lone much for
themselves by their patient endurance.

RAW SILK Stockings,

There is so much difficulty with the
shrinking OF woollen stockings that
mothers are coming to use a
heavy-ribbed raw silk stocking. costing a
good deal more than the woollen in the
beginning, but in the end outlasting
several sets of them. 1t Is claimed that
the ribbed silk stockings are almost as
warm as wool, and they are certainly
very soft to wear. Spun silk is too thin
for baby's Winter use: and cotton Is
only to be considered for the very
hottest weather and the driest places.
