will see fit to act on these resolutions"
President Bernstein said, after they
had been adopted. emphasizing his re-
mark with a dignified sweep of the
hand. They concern, fellow members.
the vital interests of the citizens of the
entire east side, who have long en-
dured inconvenience from the push
carts You must recognize, gentlemen,
that the situation should be looked to
at once. The board of health must do
more. Its inspectors ought to be more
careful. They ought to prevent the
sale of decayed fruit.
Our society has found that most
vendors hire their push-carts. They
pay 10 or 20 cents day for them. The
men who hire out the carts usually
own quite a number We know one
man who hires out twenty or thirty
a day. These men usually have license,
but for one cart. That is wrong. We
must see to it that these men have
licenses and that the board of health
look out for decayed fruit"
Sticl1Iers For Etiquette.
The meetings are carried on strictly
according to parliamentary rules. and
are almost hampered by formahty.
One little fellow wished to amend a
motion at the last meeting, and rising
said: I move to amend the gentle
mans" but he got no further, be-
cause half a dozen members rose to a
point of order, saying he could not
move, because there was motion be-
fore the house.
Again and again the poor boy was
ordered down by the president because
he always started his sentence with Il
move" He finally received a tip and
shouted out: ~ amend the motion by
making it 80 cents for stationery in
stead of So and the president recog-
nized him.
Every candidate for membership
must be vouchsafed for by a member
There was some dispute over the
qualifications of a candidate a the last
meeting, which was only terminated by
the assuring words of Vice-President
Charles Glusker, u years old. MI
President" he said. with seriousness,
Il have known the gentleman in ques-
ton for two years. [ sat near him in
school last year, and I believe him to
be gentleman and a man of honor. [
can Youch thoroughly for his integrity
and character, and | trust the league
Will see fit to elect him as member"
AS the Vice-president stood in" with
most of the boys. his recommendation
was sufficient to insure the candidates
election.
According to the street cleaning
superintendent in the east side divi-
sions the boys are about the best help
ers they have. With great eagerness
they pounce on a street sweeper who
is not doing his duty, chide him with
threats and report him in case he does
not give them any sd tisfaction Every
boy Is deputized to call a pedestrians
attention to any refuse which he care
!essly throws on the sidewalk, like
banana Feelings and DaDer on5 tho
boys themselves pick up any refuse
they may see and throw it in the ash
barrels
There is a similar organization of
girls on the east side who engage in
the same work. The boys refer to
them with irony and sarcasm and as
yet they have not been nearly so
efficient in practical work as the boys.
Their meetings are absolutely anarchis-
tic and the room, when they have ad
journed, looks like the aftermath of
cyclone.
Fountain Cadets.
As a supplement to the Street Clean
ing league, there has been, formed a
battalion of Fountain Cadets cOmpris-
ing most of the boys who belong to the
league. They have been supplied with
glittering badges, and President ROose-
welt has introduced them all to the
police of the various precincts so that
when a cadet is seen reprimanding or
chastising any person defacing the
fountains in the east side, the punisher
is not interfered with. Many boys and
grown people take absolute pleasure in
throwing things into the fountain ba-
sins and stopping up the flow of water.
The boys have taken in hand to cor
rect this abuse and they are even per-
