ASCf' L. ~ 1lOWdIQ VI but
Crown Hill Baptist church in
Nassau, N. H., is a preacher
whose sayings deserve to be wide

the speaker said;
There are verious classes of
readers, The hour glass reader is
one class. They are the readers
who retain uothing of what they
read. There is the sponge reader.
This is the class that absorb all
they read. They give it out when
squeezed like the sponge when
water is squeezed out. 1t is a little
dirtier than when soaked up.
There is the jelly bag class. This
is the GLASS that lets the good all
run through and retains the re-

represented by an old woman.

good they can out of the papers.
This class, it is needless to add.
is the one to which all decent
newspaper men cater to. The
world is full of sin and corrup-
ton. The newspaper, which is
but a reflection of the world, nee
essarily prints much that is un-
pleasant and unclean. The reader,
like the human eye, sees what he
has the power to see If he is look
ing for filth he will find it, or the
reflection of it, in the newspaper.
If he seeks the true and the bea-
utiful the newspaper can supply
his wants. The reader who would
reform the newspaper must first
reform himself.

Dncle Sans Printer
TURNS THE GRINDSToNE
FOR POLITICIANS,

The government printing office
seems to be used more for political
purposes than for the benefit of
the people. The greater portion of
the Wqfk done in that printing
estahlishment, as the Omaha Bee
aptly remarks. seems to be tho
printing Of speeches that were
heyer delivered and assisting
men who are incapable Of making
their gym way, into office again,
The campaign just closed shows
the great expenee the government
printing office is to the people
without rendering adequate re-
tHrn. Tons Of speeches that were
never made and arguments that
never saw the light of day until
run from tho presses we've scat
tered broadcast over the nation.
Even a great expence from the
government printing office are
never opened save when the
owner runs across some little
poem or article in a newspaper,
cuts it out and gently pasts ithe-
tween the leaves of fine govern
ment book. The attention of con-
gress has often been called TO the
abuses existing in the govern
ment printing Office, but it seems
impossible to remove them. There
are too many political aver in
contant need of grinding, and the
government print shop affords
an excellent grindingstone.
The great printing office of the
government was not designed as
a political factor, but rather as an
educator of the people and an
economical means OF presenting
10 the people the work that has
oeen done by their public SER
wants. 1t is high time that the
original intentions of the foun-
ders of the office were adopted
and the evils that have crept in
eliminated.
AS the matter now stands the
people aye paying for something
they do not want apd are not al
lowed to exercise their rights in
the matter.
The next congress would do
well to take some action looking
toward q correction of these
abuses. 1t is not likely, however,
that the matter will reoieve atten
ton. An honest measure, calcu-
lated to correct genuine abuse,
can scarcely hope for a hearing
while shrewd sehemers are clam
oring for fresh appropriations to
replenish the depleted purses of
impeouniops mortals who have
friends at court. Meanwhile it is
the plain duty of every thought
full and intelligent citizen to pro-
test against this wanton waste of
the public funds. United action
on the part of the press would
speedily check the abuse.

Many bicyclsts have had reason to COM
plain of bursting tires in the last few days,

had a number of such. cases to attend to.
One of the experts informed a Morning
News reporter yesterday that bursting
tires are one of the indications of spring.
and gave a thoroughly scientific eXplana-
ton of his statement. 1t is bad policy,
he said, for the bicyclists to blow up their
tires until they are very hard, just at
this time. The tires are usually blown up
in the morning before the bicyclists leave
home and are naturally filled with cool
air. When the cyclist gets out on the hot
asphalt pavement the air in the tires be-
gins to expand. If the tire is already dis
tended to its fullest capacity the result is
an explosion, and the bicyclist trundles his
wheel down to his favorite shop, in the
meanwhile answering numerous questions
of sympathizing friends as to How 1t
happened" The rear tire is usually the
one to explode, because of the greater
pressure. The moral is not to pump up
your tires until midday, and to be careful
about IT then, unless the guarantee still
holds good.

SOUTHERN SECTIONS KICK.
THE CITY's PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT
POLICY CRITICIZED.

The Council Taken Severely to Task
for It's Failure to Carry Out Its
Pledges TO the Property Owners
south of Anderson Street for
Needed improvements - ResOlu-
lions Adopted by the sOuthside
League.
The South Side League met at Yonge's
hall last night. Considering the other
meetings in progress in which the mem
bers were interested, it was well attended.
The president of the league, Mr.. c. F.
Prendergast. presided. In opening the
meeting Mr.. Prendergast called attention
to the apathy of the present city admin
istration to the interests of the section
south of Anderson street. Heretofore, he
said, in applying for improvements in that
section the league had been met with the
statement that there was no money in
the treasury. This was a conclusive state
ment. ending all argument.
Now" said Mr.. Prendergast, sit has
been proclaimed by the administration
that on account of its insiS tence on full
personal returns there is a very handsome
balance in the treasury. We observe that
this balance is being expended for the i'm
provement of Colonial park and for the
paving of South Broad street works

the meeting had been called, Mr.. Prender-
CAST said
Mr.. S. Krouskoff, chairman of the COM
mittee which appeared before the city
council last November for the purpose of
urging the attention OF the authorities to
the southern section, made the report of
the committee. In doing so Mr.. Krous-
koff criticised the administration very Sc
verely. This was not done in a partisan
spirit, however, he said, but because of
the failure of the city to fulfill its pledges.
He concluded by offering a series of res
olutions, which very comprehensively de-
tailed the situation in the south side from
the standpoint of those who reside there.
After a short debate, in which the ad-
ministration was defended by DR.. II. H.
Groth, the resolutions were adopted by an
almost unanimous vote, there being two
or three dissenting votes. The meeting
was very harmonious in character and
its proceedings promise to give new life to
the league.

THIRD DISTRICT LIBERALS.
A District Club Organized at Armory
Hall.

ganized last night at Armory hall. Public
notice of the meeting was not given until

the necessity for organizing in the Third

temporary chairman and Mr.. j. B. Gaudry

ton of the reasons for organizing the club.
we are here for the purposes of reform, -
he said, land organization is necessary.
The administration forces are well organ

them. We should have a large club in this
district and l expect everyone present to

applications for membership"
Capt. Blum closed his remarks with the
statement that they had gone into the fight
to wipe the other crowd out. The meeting
adjourned subject to the call of the chair

THE RUSH OF TAXPAYERS.
The City Treasurer,s ONCE Overrun
With Them.


Yesterday was the last day on which
city taxes for the first quarter of this
year could be paid and the rebate of 10
per cent. allowed by the city for prompt
payment, obtained.
During the last three days the Office of
the city treasurer has been crowded with
people who were anxious to pay their taxes
and obtain the rebate. For hours at a
time the line at the window of Clerk Alvin
NJ. Bell stretched clear around the office
and back again.
A great many people delayed paying their
taxes as usual until the time allowed by
the city had almost elapsed and this made
the work of Treasurer Aardee and his
assistants very heavy during the last sew
eral days. The entire force was kept at
work last night until midnight. Money
has been coming in steadily since the first
of the month, however, and Treasurer
Hardee said that the payments of taxes
had been fully as large as in previous
years, and, If anything, somewhat bet
ter. There are no indication of hard times
in the way taxes were paid, he said as
there were very few who failed to take
advantage of the 10 per cent. discount.
The totals have not been footed up as yet,
however.

AN EVENING WITH THE CAMERA
MIR. j. a. Bates Expose of the Ama-
teur photographer Existence.

Mr.. J. A. Bates made his second ap-
pearance before a savannah audience last
night in his lecture. The Joys and Sor-
rows OF an Amatoor Fottygraher." The
Guards han was almost filled and the
audience was an intelligent one.
Afr. Bates was introduced by Hon. J. F.
3. Beckwith in a manner suited to the
style Of the lecture. For an hour and a
quarter Mr.. Bates carried his audience
through the mysteries of amateur pho
Biography, picturing its joys and sorrows-
imaginative and real-and in an entertain
ing way, wholly his own, unfoided the
knowledge that most amateurs acquire
after a desperate experience.
The lecture throughout was bright and
ences, and adaptations that gave
it a local interest. The views
covered almost everything within
the range Of the amateur phOtoetapher
from dogs, cats and picaninnies, TO the pic
turesQue reflections Of nature in the beau
tiful scenery of Delaware water gap, the
sOmbre avenues of Bonaventure and the
Quietude of a mOOnlit sea.
The views illustrated about equally the
joys and sorrows. which are supposed 10

ings of insanity through failure 10 pro-
duce an ineligible picture of even the
simplest object within his range.
The lecturer was greeted with frequent
applause, and his views excited much adj
mration. Most Of them were the results
of Mr.. Bates own experience. Others were
by Mr.. Julian deBruyn Hops, who made
the lantern slides. The views were thrown
upon the canvas by DR.. S. A. White The
lecture throughout was most entertain
ing one, not alone from its humorous side.
but artisucally. Many OF the pictures were
life subjects, some of them known to the
audience. The child pictures were ex-
ceedingly attractive. A feature of the
lecture was the singing of "Sleep. Baby,
Sleep" by the children of the Female
orphan asylum, who were present with
their teacher. Miss Ward as the last pic
ture that of a slumbering child, was
thrown upon the canvass.
After the lecture Mr.. Bates was warmly
congratulated by his friends upon the sue
cess of his effort.
