Professional begging in New York and
Philadelphia is said 20 be largely on the
Increase. So great has the evil grown
in New York that increased police at
rentlon Is to be paid TO IT, OF late the
professional beggars have not only
grown disagreeably importunate. but in
several instances they have resorted to
violence or other Iawlesshess to extort
money. Generally speaking. organized
charity is the best means OF dealing with
mendicancy. Indiscriminste giving fos-
tiers beggary. When charity is dispensed
through competent and organized chan
nels the worthy poor are cared for. and
fraudulent beggars receive only their just
deserts In this connection, il may be
pertinently observed that there has been
a great deal of professional begging on
the streets Of Savannah this winter. It
has not been long since. of a Saturday
night, every street corner in the business
portion of the town was occupied by its
beggar. And the condition is not much
better at present.

Pence WINS Restored.

"Cussin' out" used to be one of the
ways of settling controversies in the Ozark
country. says the st. Louis Globe-Demo4
crat. 1t originated with old w Findley
and John Carter. The Findleys came from
Georgia Old w took a great interest in
politics, and wherever he went he was
followed by a venerable negro named Bo-
sen. whose duty IL was to steer his master
home when he needed help. At one of the
earlier elections old Uz and John Carter
became very angry with each other. 1t
looked as If nothing but fight could set
tie the issue between them, when suddenly
old w shouted Mr.. Carter, stand and be
Cussed."
Carter removed his hat walked out
about ten PAGES from the crowd and told
old CZ to go ahead. Findley removed his
hat and walking out in front of Carter
said, with elaboration and emphasis:
MIR. Carter. if this earth was one piece
of parchment and the sea one basin of
ink and every quill upon earth was one
quill and 1 had the power to use that
quill, that parchment and that ink l
would fall short. sir, of being able to de-
scribe the corruption OF your old heart
sir"
Carter said never word, but stood with
Then he said: Mr.. Findley, stand, sir,
until I cuss you" Old Uz bowed his head
and Carter said
Mr.. Findley, had l all of the talents
ever produced in Europe and America
combined in a solid phalanx and was to
undertake to speak of you I would then
fall short OF describing the corruption of
your old heart, sir"
This settled the difficulty. The two men
resumed friendly relations. The custom
of "cuSsin OUT was thus introduced in
the Ozark county.

1t was an old score.

There was an old score to wipe OUT,
but, of course, she did not show that she
was watching for an opportunity to settle
it; that would not have been according
to the usages of polite society, says the
Chicago Post, Such little affairs musr
be settled with a verbal stiietto when
the opposing party can be caught una
wares.
Consequently she smiled very pleasant
ly as she remarked that she had met Mrs.
Poorman that afternoon.
"A very pleasant and agreeable little
woman" she added.
"Oh, yes, replied her social antagonist
carelessly. Her husband is in my hus-
bands employ, you know"
$50 she told me; but, really I don't
think that makes her any the less pleas
ant to meet"
She felt then that she had scored once.
but she was not Satified.

social antagonist, as soon as she had re-
covered a little from the shock But il
is too bad that she does not dress a lit
tie better. Sometimes, you know, she
looks almost shabby
quite true; but she explained that"
"Indeed?"
"Oh, yes. She said that her husband
could not give her real lace on an imita-
ton salary"

were closed.

SAVANNAH Must Have n.

1t is impossible to say what effect the
arguments of the committee of the
Charleston bankers will have on the ways
and means committee in behalf of re-es-
tablishing the sub-treasury in that city,
but we Scannot see that they ought. to-
have any. Charleston had a sub-treas-
ury once and lost it, She didn't consider
it of enough Importance apparently to
keep it. 1t is doubtful if she would have
made an effort to have it re-established
if Savannah had not undertaken to get a
sub-treasury. Under the circumstances.
therefore, the ways and means committee
would be- justified in giving very little at
tention to Charlestons claim.
Georgia has two strong men on the ways
and means committee-ex-Speake Crisp
and Judge Turner-and we feel confident
that both will do all they can to advance
Savannah's claim. They will do this
mainly because of Savannah's right to a.
sub-treasury on account of her great and
growing business interests, and also be-
cause of her enterprise in endeavoring to
get it, In the meantime the business men
of Savannah should give them all the HELM
they can. With a favorable report from
the ways and means committee there will
be no difficulty in getting the bill passed
The bill will not encounter much opposi-
ton if it once gets fairly started on its
passage. and what little opposition may
develop Representative Lester can easily
overcome.

Got Their Signs Changed.

Two sandwich men paraded Chestnut

of a certain food product which we shall

One of the men was tall and stout, with
rosy cheeks, and all the ear-marks of a
good feeder He wore a sign, front and
back, reading Il eat X Y" The other
one was small and thin, and appeared to
be half starved. His sandwich sign bore
the simple legend II don't" The stout
fellow walked ahead and his companion
followed close in his wake. They parad-
ed about for several hours in perfect
amity, but late in the afternoon they fell
to quarreling, and they finally decided to
retire to SAMSON street, and have it
out" They took Off their signs when
they reached that comparatively quiet
street, and prepared TO settle their diff

1t is said that since the election of
Griggs to the governorship of New Jersey
the BARRIERS of that state have done more
business than for a long time. And
thereby hangs a tale. Thirty years ago.
when Marcus L. Ward, republican. ran for
governor and was beaten, many of his
followers registered vow to be revenged
upon fate by permitting their boards to
grow until republican was elected to the
governorship. For thirty years the demo-
rats held the office. and the republican
boards grew. Now the whirligig of time
has once more placed the republicans in
charge of the executive mansion, and the
bearded men, having lived up to their
oaths, are vending their way to the bar
Der shops to be shaved. One of these
cranks has sent his thirty years growth
of whiskers to Gov. Griggs.
