Black Eyes and Bioodshed.

A company of New York capitalists
have incorporated under the laws of
New jersey, an establishment for the
extensive building of floating tene-
ment houses to be moored ut conven-
lent places i'll the vicinity Of New York
and rented to families. 1t thus be-
comes possible for man seeking rev.
enue through renting tenements to be-
come landlord and waterford at the
same time, The skylord, who will
gather rents from houses tlOated in the
air is to be later evolution OF civili-
2atiOn.
But, seriously, the plan seems to be-
a very wise and practical one II will
relieve crowded districts, 1t elimi-
mates the need of paying ground rent
and secures healthy abodrs along
shore ut very reasonable prices. This
scheme, which is already i'll extensive
operation along the banks of the
Thames, near London, has the one
disadvantage of not beingavailable all-
the-year-round through the danger of
havoc from the ice in winter. 1t would
have been rather lively for floating
tenants around our shores during the
late blizzard.
But even if only for summer use
philanthropic capitalists could hardly
make better use of their loose change
than in establishing floating villages
for peut-up people on the shores of
our great cities.

The always original and interest

1ended on to lend at least flavor of
Xcltementto any controversy in which

Gen. Tracy closed his remarks by say
ny, "there is no use in saying any
hing more, Mrs. Green promptly ac-
cepted this view of the case with the
clincher; Lets have more money
and less wind"
Thousands of litigants who have
painfully toiled through the mazes of
the law or YEARLY waited for decisions
that the law seemed doomed to denv
can re-echo this sentiment with deep
and heartfelt "Amen!" A vastly su-
pertluity Of wind and copious def
cheney of money have been the usual
rewards on only too many who have
supposed that law meant justice. Nor
is this experience confined to legal
trials.
If Hetty Green will go to Washing
ton and, visiting either chamber of
Congress, bring her umbrella down
with a whack on the desk of the pre-
siding officer and say, Gentlemen,
let's have more money and less wind"
she will express the sentiments of
sixty-fve millions of American citi

Catherine Bauer and her daughter
Kate, an estate valued at from $3.50,
900 to $500, 600, which the referee de-
clares McKane, as administrator of
late Paul Bauer, converted to his
own use fraudulently, leaving the
rightful owners penniless. Paul Bauer,

and he and McKlne had been for many
years close friends, At her husbands
death the widow, who was made ad-
ministratriX had McKane appointed
co-administrator and the latter then
assumed entire care of the estate,
which had II mortgage upon it OF $50,
600 and was worth from $3.50, 900 to
$500, 600.
The jugglery began at this point.
The estate was sold to satisfy the
mortgage, and McKane bought it in
for $500 more than the mortgage and
took the property III his own name.
The entire property will now go to
its rightful owners, Mrs. Paul Bauer
and her child. This sort of tail
feather plucking will soon ruin the old
man.
Everybody who is anybody is now
very much agitated over the recent
purchase of W. X. Vanderbilt in Lon
don, Of pearl necklace, consisting Of
39 pearls with diamond clasp weigh
ing Cpl grams and valued Mt 81 5000.
Now what We all want to know, and
know right away, is what fair one is
to be the possessor of this little trinket.
The suspense and uncertainty regard
ing the disposition Of this gift, has
fairly made many social gossips sick
a-bod, and jealousies have already
sprung up without end. These rich
connoisseurs in jewelry should be more
considerate of the mental serenity of
the feminine world.

Several new milionnires have beer

OF more CrnsuScs within the fold, bui
that all this sudden wealth shOulC

triotic manner may well be consd,
cred just now A good business
stroke no doubt, but then il is but
natural for those on the outside tc
croak about the good luck Of those on
the inside.
"Well, Pm not hear for my
health" is frequently heard phrase
in Wall stree, and it is always used
by some sharp trader when taken to
task for some particularly keen trans
action.
1t is guilt admitted mdcr exien-
uating circumstances.
j. Pierpont Morgan has already de-
clared he did not hang ont in Wall
street for amusement.
The whole idea of the bond scheme,
Mt least execution of it, was n mis-
conception and it has like the appear
ance OF some hydra-headed monster
left hideous remembrance behind.
The avidity with which the bonds
were sought abroad is certainly graft
flying to national pride and speaks
volumes for the nations credit, but
the bonds should have been issued to
the people of the United States. If a
reasonable proposition had been made
to our own people and they had been
asked to take the bonds they would
have found the gold to pay for them.
We have the men in New York, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia and Chicago who.
being appealed to, could convert such
bonds into gold at their full value.
We have no need to look abroad
1t was II calm announcement that
the bonds which Mr., Morgan and his
associate buncoed and bulldozed the
government into passing over at 104.
i9 could be had by the next set of
dealers at ll2. %. This was very
neat narking up of over Z, per cent,
and all for holding the bonds for less
than week.
But kitchen cabinets have brought
ruin on every administration burdoned
with them. By one Andrew Jackson

seem to paternalists that this is

habitants to play knucks, checkers,

New Workers can play billiards on
Sunday, after all. The persons lately
arrested for indulging in the game
on the Lords day have been discharged
by the courts, the decision being that
billiard playing is not necessarily
gambling, and that there is no law
forbidding it. Probably this verdict
will not conflict with the average
standard of public morality.
