he DID The PROPER THING.
HOW ONE CABLE CAR CONDUCTOR
TREATED A sPoTTER.
Made Him Clean Up His Filth Under
n Threat to Report Him to the
Police and Test the Rule
Prohibiting Nuisances.

Apropos of the discussion of the filthy
habit of promiscuous splitting in public
places, little incident is related of an
event on a green car of the Ninth street
line yesterday that shows what conclusion
one conductor has formed of the habit
and the best way of curing it.
Yesterday about o'clock young man
who carried grip and sample case and
was dressed in an up to date suit board
ed the car at the east end of the line and
sat in the corner of the car. He was
chewing tobacco in very enthusiastic
way.
The conductor went forward to collect
fares on the grip car and was detained
there until the car was near the Inde-
pendence Avenue church. There three we'll
dressed ladies boarded the car and took
seats in the coach. When the conductor
reached the coach the young man had a
large floor space in the car covered with
his expectoration and was adding to it
as rapidly as his ability would admit. The
conductor was disgusted and looked at the
man as though he would like to throw
him off the car. He studied the situation
for a minute, pointed to card in the car
on which was printed Don't Spit on the
Floor" and then said to the young man:
II am looking for cloth and if find
one I will expect you to wipe. up that
filth from the fioor.''
Not finding a cloth he produced some
papers and said as he handed them to the
passenger:
You can clean that up
The young man did so in a manner and
then as he saw the ladies observing him
he quit. He was in open revolt.
I'll get off your old car" he said.
mo you won't until that floor is well
cleaned" said the conductor with some
business in his tone.
You can clean it well or I'll turn you
over to a policeman and charge you with
committing a nuisance and we'll test the
matter right now,'' he added.
The young fellow knew he was in the
wrong and did the best he could to clean
the floor and then went out on the plat
form and threw his tobacco away He
left the car at the Junction, after which
the ladies coinplimented the conductor and
said they would be glad if he would serve
all passengers the same way. The con-
ductor said he would.

TALK OF TOWN
AND COUNTRY.
..:..::...t.:..: o .:..::..;..

THE man who is earning a fair salary
and knows how to take care of it, said
a well known young professional man yes
teTday, lis to be envied these times. l
would rather be a good machinist just now,
able to earn my IS day, as 1 could, than
10 be the average physician, pharmacist
or dentist. The young men of to-day are
cIowding the professions to overfiowing.
Graduates of dental and pharmacy col
ieSes can be secured in unlimited numbers
at the present time for SO week, which
are the wages of a very ordinary laborer,
and much less than a good carpenter or
bricltmason gets. This city is turning out
doctors, pharmacists and dentists by the
hundreds every year and this whole West
eU;i country is overrun with young profess
SIGNAL men, many of whom have families
and all of whom have to make living
They cut prices and the professions are
worth about one-fourth what they were
ten years ago. The people just now are
temporizing. They are getting along with
just as little professional service as pos
sihle. They are having their teeth filled
temporarily TO tide them over until times
arc better. They are suffering injustice
and oppression rather than lawyers to de-
fend their rights. They are economizing
in every way. The professional man is
not the plutocrat he is popularity supposed
TO be, by any means.
IUey were IdlhlDB ABOUT burglars anu
well known dentist told this story: Il
am not hunting for trouble in this world
and if any burglar ever comes fooling
around my place 1 shall do as did before.
I was snugly tucked in my bed one night
not very many years ago when 1 saw
man with dark lantern pass my
door Ny wife told me there were burg
lars in the house, but 1 told her TO lay
dead.iS l let my man wander through the
house for awhile, then / turned on the
electric lights and soon after heard him
close the front door. 1 then bravely jumped
out of bed and emptied my revolver out
Of the window. 1 subsequently made an
investigation, after 1 had given the burg
lar time enough to get away. I found that
he had taken nothing and that the only
loss 1 had sustained was the damage done
to the screen through which 1 had fired.
AS said before, have not lost any burg
lars armed to the teeth and I am not
locking for any such in dividuals. I don't
believe this is cowardice. 1t is just COM
mon sense

AN OPERATION NECESSARY.
Skin Grating to BE Resorted To /,
Order to Prevent Julia weIsh's
Face From Being Scared.


Milton Welsh, surveyor of the port, ex-
pects to go to Chicago or New York In a
few days with his little daughter, Julia,
who was SO badly burned two weeks ago
by her dress and hair catching fire from
a lamp. Her face was burned quite deep-
ly In one place and unless extra precau-
ticns are taken the burn is certain to
leave a bad scar.
Mr.. Welsh's physicians have told him
that an operation can be performed and
skin grating done that will reduce the
seriousness of the scar, if not wholly pre-
vent it, and he expects to take the little
girl away for the operation. Her injuries
were very serious at the time, but her
excellent constitution and general good
health have enabled her to overcome the
danger nicely and she is recovering in
the most satisfactory manner, and if the
skin grating operation is successful she
Will eventually completely recover from
the burn.

Cleveland, o., Dec. 25.-Concerning a
statement sent out from this city to the
effect that the health of Hon. Mark Hanna
is breaking down, it may be stated that,
while the national chairman has been
slightly indisposed for the past few days,
his general health is excellent. For sew
eral days he has suffered from severe head
aches. causing insomnia to a greater or
less extent. The attack, however, is ex-
pected to be only temporary. Mr.. Hanna,
after drive this morning, returned to his
home on Lake avenue where he ate Christ
mas dinner with his family. 1t is likely
that the chairman and Mrs. Hanna will go
South for few weeks some time next

Amsterdam, N. ", Resident.
Amsterdam, N Y, Dec. 25.-There has
been erected in the family plot of Ray
mond Christman, in Green Hill cemetery
near this city, monument bearing this
pathetic inscription, which recalls strange
story:
Florence Viola Christman. Erected to
the memory of wronged child. Dead to
the world but alive in Christ"
The woman to whose memory these words
were inscribed is alive, and has no title
to the name bestowed upon her. She is
Florence Viola Haun, who has been SEN
fenced to life imprisonment for murder.
Raymond Christman is a wealthy coal deal
er and trustee of the Baptist church. He
has always sustained high reputation for
morality and good business judgment. His
remarkable infatuation for the convicted
murdereSS has created a sensation.
November g. 1895, Florence Haun shot
and killed Charles Landry, saloonkeeper,
whose mistress she had been. She gave

for life. She is now in the Auburn peni-
tentiary.
Her life story, as told during the trial
failed to gain for he5 the sympathies of
any considerable portion of the public. She
had not loved her husband, and when she
met Landry, who was man of some
means and of decided sporting proclivities.
she easily became victim to his atten-
tions. left her husband and went to live
with the saloorkeeper.
The oft-told story was repeated. Soon he
tired of her, and finding she was to be
cast aside. dishonored and homeless, she
became despondent-then desperate. She
killed Landry. The jury found her guilty
of murder in the second degree
Christman had never met her before the
murder, their meeting occurring by chance
shortly afterward. From the first she ap-
peared to exercise a strange influence over
him. Hesvisited her repeatedly in prison,
held long conversations with her, and sent
her presents and delicacies. He furnished

He had himself appointed her guardian and
then caused to be erected beautiful mon
ument of Indiana light stone, INSCRIBED to
her memory.

Yesterday evening about $50 o'clock Mrs.
Justice walked up to the Argentine city
