NOT READY IN TINE.

The act authorizing the lexington and
Belt lines To substitute Compressed air Tor
horse power required that the company
months from the datfaf the passage OF the
law. 1t received the Presidents approval
on the l 9th day of June. Accordingly, y, the
company ought to be ready with its CON-
pressed air motors on the 10th day of Sep.
tember. There is Just as much likelihood OF
this happening as for the overworked and
underfed horses on these roads to take on
flesh and strength in twenty-four hours.
The company has made no preparation
whatever for the new order OF things. Its
application to be furnished with 400, 900
gallons OF water daily to run the COM
pressor has been refused by the Commits
sioners; yet, as Ear as anybody knows, no
steps have been taken to dig an artesian
well of sufficient dimensions TO yield The
necessary supply. Wells like that are not
dug in a day. nor yet in a week. or even
several weeks.
Nor has the ground been turned Tor the
building required for the compressed air
plant. II is learned from the statements
OF experts that il viii take not less than
sixty days TO put tie machinery in place.
The company, therefore, has TO water with
which TO run the compressor it has no
compressor, even il il Lad tie water, and
il il had the machinery IL has no building
in which to place ii. These facts-and
they are indisputable-go to prove that it
is a physical impossibility now for she
company to do what the law requires OF 1t,
and they also show that IL has made no
proper effort in that direction. Its course
in the present instance is OF Iiece with
its performances in the removal OF the troll
ley wires and poles from New York ave
nue., and there is not tile least Doubt but
that either Congress or the courts Will
have TO interfere.
just what the Commissioners will do
when they find that the law has not tcen
complied with and the railroad coIspany
again has broken its pledges, of course,
cannot be told But in the view OF such
exhibitions of bad faith toward Congress
and the public, and such triiline with the
interests of the latter, the proper thing
for the Commissioners 10 do would be to
institute the necessary court proceedings
for the annulmcnt OF the lexington and
Belt Lpe charters.

WAGES AND WEDDINGS.

The question is frequently propounded
whether the constantly growing disposi-
ton OF American women to earn their own
livelihood, and the opening Of new chan
nels enabling them to do this, affects their
Inclination toward matrimony. The an
swer must uDquestionably be in the affirm
ative. 1t cannot well be otherwise. for
the woman who feels that she can safely
rely upon her own efforts to procure for
herself all the necessaries and a good
man y OF the comforts Of life, and who feels
happy and buoyant in such independence,
will not regard marriage as essential to her

There was once comedian who out
financed Edward Z. Rice. Startling as
the statement may seem, it is neverthe-
less true that when this farceur retired
from Mr.. Rice's company he owed the
manager 800. To Mr.. Rice the condi-
ton was not alone unusual-it was also
irksome. One morning, when he was
fretting under it, he learned that the
actor had secured first rate engage
ment at q large salary. He sat down
and wrote an urgent letter, finishing
with q demand for an immediate remit
lance of ga check for 100" In due
course he received communication by
mail containing heavy metallic disk.
The letter read:

high notes, as triumphs of pure express

and finally birdlike ecstasy Of trills. Be-
fore her is an abyss of hush, into which
she pours that voice, the very soul OF
song. She ceases, and timidly-not
proudly-bows and is retiring when the
usual American demand for an encore,
arises en- .masse, and repeats with four
fold energy and spirit the almost frantic
demonstration with which it greeted
Jenny Lind upon her entrance. The au-

wives of the Orient Likewise Find Them
Troublesome.
Do you cherish the fancy that wives
of the orient do not trouble themselves
about mothers-in-law? II 80, you are
much mistaken. They are even more In
evidence than among the nations of the
west. for they have the right to do what
those others only desire-choose their
sons first wife for him.
A formidable being indeed Ia Abdal-
lah's ma to young Fstima. when, after
having discovered what her dowry will
be, she calls to do Abdallah's counting
for him, bringing with her any female
relatives who desire to see what the girl
looks like.
Fatima, decked in all the best clothes
that she can possibly wear. with the
rest of her "Sabberday go to meetin's"
spread about for inspection, is called to
bring refreshments, principally sweet
meats and favored water. With cast
down eyes and blushing cheeks, she
first sprays the old lady with rose wa
ter and then presents the tray.
Having shifted, eaten and taken sip
Of something. Abdallah's mamma treats
the candidate for her favor as good mar
keters do a Christmas turkey. She
punches her to see if her flesh is firm
then she thumps her in the chest to try
her lungs, measures her hair, scolds
her to discover if she has a bad temper
and runs her down little, as old clothes
dealers do the garments they intend to
buy, in order to lower her price. She
is not quite fat enough. Her eyes are
rather small. Is she really healthy? Die
she not cough?
The contract is drawn up, the mother
in-law demanding for her son the right
to divorce his wife whenever he is tired
of her, SO that he informs her legally
of his reasons for doing so, which may
be, "She displeases my mother" or any
thing else that ne chooses.
Until she has son the wife canno
even receive letter. If her husband il
absent and wishes to tell her something
he must address his mother. After thu
birth of a boy he may write to that in
