way Of obtaining an accurate cline" on
the former police-eourt pull. The
amount of the fines tells the story. One
of Tammanys strong points in influ-
enoe was to get poliee-court fines re-
duced or remitted, The commission of
crime was thus made tributary to Tam
many's political success.
Here is the proof that the pull exist
ed and that it has gone. The fines in
the Court OF Special Sessions for the
months of July, August and September,
In 1894, Tammany regime, were S5,5l4,50
The amount of the fines for the same
months In 1895, reform regime, is $4S,-
09S.5O, an increase of 700 per cent The
fines in the police-courts proper for the
months of July, August and September
of last year amounted to $S,940, This
year, for the same time, the fines in the
same courts amount to $1S,S15, an in
crease of more than 100 per cent. That
tells the story in bulk. When the rec
ords of the past and present are ana
lyzed an impressive addition Is made to
the reform record. In the Special Ses-
sions court the fines for July, 1894, were
$2172. In July of this year they were
S615. In August, last year, they were
S,20S,50; this year, in August, they were
SEC, S4S,5O. In September, last year, they
were $2,1S4; this year they were $685.

1t is Boston's proud boast that "the
general average of culture" is higher
in that city than in any other in the
country, and 1t is generally admitted
that culture is extremely high and ex-
tremely prevalent among the ladies of
Boston. But something which cropped
out i'm the City court of New Haven
yesterday indicates that culture in this
city has reached a height which may
we'll make Boston anxious about its
supremacy in that line and may well
spur the ladies of Boston on to greater
Efforts to improve their minds than they
have yet made.
A lady who has often been brought
before the City court by rude and I'M
gentlemaply policemen was there again
yesterday. She was found meditatively
walking about the streets at 2 a. m. Per-
lhaps Boston policeman would have un-
derstood her, but New Haven policemen
are not yet quite up to her. Possibly
they will be when the culture of the
campus policemen has had time to per
meate and remould the force. But
though she did not find appreciation in
the policeman who interrupted her med

mind and that there was something in
| it and on it. So ne asked her what
she was after when the rude policeman
interfered with her. She said some
thing that sounded like "whiskey" to
uncultivated ears and the policeman
felt sure that he had treated the lady
right. But the judge, knowing that
| ''whiskey'' couldn't possibly be the
word, asked her again and then with
such emphasis and clearness that even
| an uncultivated ear could not err in
hearing she replied History" and
added with great seriousness and force
| History Of the City of Elms." The
policeman whose dull zeal had made
him hostile to History had the grace
to blush and the discriminating ard
sympathetic judge did what he could
| to make up for the policeman's error
/ by giving the lady an opportunity to
arrange in undisturbed quiet and Sc
clusion the historical material whose
collection had been her pride and her
delight.
The fact that a New Haven lady is
so fervently devoted to the study of
History as to pursue that study on the
street at a. m. surely indicates con
dition of things here that well BELTS a
University city. And it is a noble trib-
ute to the influence of the Old Colony

or afford to have the negroes disfran-
chlsed?" asks the Wilmington, North
Carolina, Messenger. Such disfranehise-
ment might lessen the number of south
ern men in the house of representatives
and also deprive the South of several
votes in the electoral college, and would
not that put the South more than ever
at the mercy of the North?" The thing
to do, it says, is "to educate the ne
groes' rather than to dlsfranchise
them,-that is, If they show any appre-
citation of the sacrifices and services of
the Democrats in giving to the enfran-
chised negroes education" But they
are ungrateful and a combination of
white Radicals, carpetJbaggers, negroes
and misled and uniformed Democratic
seceders uniting with the original Pop
ulists have captured the State" Be-
cause of this, presumably, there is a
strong passive sentiment among the
whites of all parties in this State to
cease appropriations for school pur-
poses for the negroes. Some active,
daring, gifted leader some day may
start a crusade against taxing the
whites for ungrateful, hostile negroes,
and away will go the whole common
school system of the South"

AReform in New Yorlk's Police Courts
Wonderful Change.


wonderful Change
tFrom Harper's Weekly.]
On October LIST the reformed police
courts of New York city had been in
operation three months. The former
police justices were legislated out of Of
fee on July list, and the Special Ses-
sions judges and the police magistrates
took their places. The new law re-
quired that the new justices and magis-
trates should be lawyers of at least ten
years standing, and that they should
engage in no other legal work, and it
gave the power of appointing these new
officers CT judicial procedure to reform
mayor. A mighty change has come in
consequence. That mysterious power
in modern politics known as the Pull is
gone in these courts. This can be
proved beyond a shadow of doubt. The
pothouse politicians have been swept
out of these courts by the broom of re-
form. Pettifogging lawyers tiptoe their
way about, and the thieves among the
police have put on the garb of honest
living.
The reform has been simply over
whelming. Stealthy and secretive as
the power of the pull was in other fields
of political action, it has come out in
the open in the police courts. Records
had to be kept there, and these show
that it exists no more. There is one

The financial commissioners of the
Paris International exhibition in 1900
have just concluded their labors, and
the scheme they have elaborated is to
be submitted to the chamber. The ex-
penses are to be provided for by an
issue of 3.250,OOo lottery bonds of 20
francs each, which should provide Co.
100000 out of the 100000,000 the exhibit
ton is expected to cost, the bonds to
be issued at latest at the beginning of
next year. Each bond will entitle the
owner to twenty tickets of admission
of one franc each, and confer on him
certain other privileges, such as a re-
duction of 25 per cent. on the charges
for admission to places of entertainment
inside the exhibition, reduction IN
railway and boat fares during the pc
Rod of the exhibition, etc. Foreigners
holding such bonds will be entitled 10
the latter reduction on the journey TO
and from Paris. Finally, holders will
share in a grand lottery, consisting of
twenty-nine drawings, spread over the
period between 1896 and 1900, and the
prizes of which amount to 5000, 900
francs, including five prizes of 100000
francs each and twenty-four prizes of
100000 francs each.

In 1886 man named Gardner of Pat
erson. New Jersey, was fishing on the
Hackensack river, when he saw float
ing before him sinking catboat in
which were two girls. He went to the
rescue and took off the girls just as the
boat, which had been wrecked by a col
lision with a railroad bridge, was found
ering. From that time until the other
day he heard nothing Of the girls, but
then he saw a personal in the advertis-
ing columns of a newspaper asking him
ITO cali at a certain address to learn
something to his advantage. He called
and was told that there was $4,000 to
his credit, the proceeds of a. legacy left
by the father Of the girls he had saved,
and having learned this much Gardner
went back to work in the bobbin factory.

even a tramp might pass it by with
contempt. Yet they are mates.
One has been cleaned, the other has
not, is all the difference; yet neither
have ever been "blacked;'' the shoes
have never been worn with rubbers,
yet when cleaned the leather is soft
and pliable as one could wish; yet with
all the spick and spanness they are
half worn out. How is it done?
Have three small clean clothes,
basin of water, a bottle of cosmoline,
vaseline, petroleum jelly, or whatever
name you like to call it, it is all the
same, and clean shoe polishing or
cloth brush.
The shoes should be wiped as free of
mud as possible before drying, and
should be hung in warm current of
air, say two or three feet above a
register or stovepipe,, not underneath
the kitchen range, where they will be
scorched on top and wet underneath.
When they are perfectly dry wipe the
mud stains off with a damp cloth9 be
sure and get them all off; then rub hard
with a dry cloth. then polish with the
brush, being careful about the stitch
ing and around the sole. 1t is best to
do only part at time, say first the
vamp, one side, then the other, not
forgetting the heel.
Unless your shoes have been badly
scuffed and rotted by bad shoe dress
ing they will look almost like new
Now rub cosmoline over them with a
clean cloth and rub it well in; use it
literally, for too little will only destroy
the polish while plenty of cosmoline
improves 1t. The whole shoe should
be carefully done, even among the butt
tons and button holes, and presto, your
shoes are soft, pliable, black and just
polished enough to look well; will not
stain your underclothes and fingers
when putting them on, and little wa
ter will do them no harm.
Try it once and you will never want
to do it any other way.
