CALLED TO

The Board OF Estimate and Apportion-
ment has at last taken steps to ascertain
wha use has been made OF the n
million dollar special relief FUND the Park
Commission was authorized to spend last
Winter to give employment to the Idle
workingmen and keep their families from
starvation. The Park Commissioners are
summoned to attend before the Board to-
morrow to give an account of their trust.
and to show how much OF the money has
been spent for the object for which 1t
was intended and o much remains.
Comptroller Fitch very properly con-
tends that II any Of this special appro-
| priatlon Is left II should not be expended
by the Park Department at all. 1t was
given for n certain specified purpose, and
II the necessity has passed, n any Of
the fund remains. no one has n right to
devote It to another and different pur-
pose.
1.-THE Evening World" recently showed
that the Park Departments regular ap-
Precipitation for this year. LIN 1872. Is IS
per cent. higher than In 1884. II to this
regular appropriation the one million dol
lar special fund Is added the increase In
ten years will be nearly $50 per cent.
Not a dollar of the remainder Of the
million dollar special appropriation
should be allowed to be spent by the
Park Commissioners on fshy contracts.
1t Is In excess OF their regular appropria.
ton. and Its expenditure for general park
purposes is illegal.

A young man from a n%eighboring town

A BOSs's PLUMBERS.

own friends inside the Wigwam. Around

fail to suffer from the ex-Chiefs depar-
ture.
1t is urged with some reason that II
MIR. Croker really felt in bad health and
studied the interests OF the organization
out OF which he has amassed such larse
wealth. he ought to have gone to the
Lexow Committee, asked " he should be
wanted as a witness and notified Its
Chairman OF his intention to take a
European trip that would extend beyond
the stated term OF It's existence. The
Committee would then doubtless have
made arrangements for his immediate
examination II his testimony was re-
quired. and there would have been no
room for questioning the motives OF his
departure II 1t was not.
The warmest adherents OF the ex-Chief
do not hesitate now to admit that he has
made some very bad mistakes. II was a
blunder. they say. when he entered the
field Of journalism and sought to stop
hostile criticism OF his political acts by
personal abuse OF his critics.: a blunder
when he left the country on the appear
ance Of the Fassett Committee: n blum
der when he advertised his suddenly ac-
cumulated wealth by heavy investments
In horses and on the turf; a blunder
when he departed from the city as soon
as the Grand Jury investigation OF the
election frauds commenced and remained
away until they closed; a blunder when
he emphasized this absence by making
an almost regal journey through the
States In a private palace car by special
trains, while his followers were being
consigned one after another to jail: a
blunder now when he puts himself In the
light OF a terrified fugitive from investi-
cation.
Is this an unjust judgment to pass on
Mr.. Croker's acts? II such ar idea pre-
walls let It be remembered that II Is pro-
nounced not by a hostile tribunal. but
by the organization which put him In
power.

She Returned to Dressmnking.

To the Editor:
Noticing for some time past some unjust eriti.
cisms on dressmakers as housekeepers, am
pleased to take advantage Of your column to say
that dressmakers can perform domestic work in
a far superior manner to those who ~criticise them.
I never did housework until after my marriage.
and I soon found out that q wife who sacrifices
her accustomed refined appearance and makes
herself into a cook and general houseworker does
not get the credit such a labor deserves from her
better half. Observing this. | soon decided upon
a different course. to resume my ~dressmakins
and pay a servant out Of my Income. as my hus-
bands salary would not permit. I have time
now to cater to my husband and superintend my
home. and the proper care and attention Of my
four little sons. making their clothes and my
own. I enjoy my life far better as a dressmaker.
Any one can learn housework. but dressmaking
ran only he learned by talent. natural art and
perseverance,. And when adversely comes, as II
does in married life sometimes. the wife can
help n deserving husband. Therefore no trades
woman ought tn give Homework the preference.
even after marriage. Pay a servant and attend
to your d~ressmaking. and your home will he a
happy one. A WIDOW. Brooklyn. n. Y.
