Tbe Dry-Goods Market.

NEW YORK. January l6.-The line WIN
try weather experienced this year Is
exerting good influence over the retail
dry-goods trade in this city. and reports
indicate a good consumptive business in
progress at other large distributing CEN
tres. The jobbing trade Is feeling the
benefit OF this. and business at second
hands shows q steady improvement.
The reflection at first hands Is not OF
pronounced character. but still there are
fair number OF recorders coming forward
for speclalties in fancy cotton-dress
fabrics. In staple cotton goods the situa-
ton Is without material change.
In the wooIlen goods department there
has been some Improvement In business.

WORLDS GREATEST RIDERS.
Famous Equestrians to be seen only with
Ringing Bros. Shows.

With an enterprise and lavish disre-
gard of expense entirely original with
themselves, Ringing Brothers, the ia
nous proprietors Of the Worlds Great
est Shows ,have this year engaged not on
ly all the leading male and female riders
of the United States, and thus left to o.
Their shows the alternative of either sac
rifieing this important feature of an a.
renic exhibition or of accepting perform
ers of mediocre ability, but they have
also secured every notable equestrian
that the European circusrs have brought
into prominence during the past two or
three seasons. Mike Rooney, who heads
the list of champion male riders, is one
of the youngest, but already the greatest
bareback somersault equestrian in the
world. The bareback celebrities of the
past were amateurs compared to this
superb artist. Associated with him are
William DeMott, Chas. Arson, Jerome
Diehl, Albert Leonard, and other world
famous riders. Among the numerous
female riders, Elena Ryland claims es-
pecial attention for her finished and
sprightly performance: She is the per-
sonifcation of grace and dexterity, and
has justly been named the s.Queen Of the
Arena" This beautiful and dashing e.
questrlenne is ably seconded by Lizzy
Rooney, Josie Nelson, Sallic Hughes,
Marion Leslie and dozen other eques-
triennes, each of whom is an artistic of
international celebrity. In addition to
this notable array of riders, Ringing
Brothers offer the most complete con-
course Of high class acrobatic, aerial,
gymnastic and other arenic novelties e.
yer presented by circus management,
including the world famous Nelson fami-
~, the greatest acrobats of the age
Many Of these artists have been especial

this season, and will return to Europe
Immediately after the close Of their en-
gagement with these enterplising man
ayers. Among many other novelties,

SHOULD CITIES OWN THEM ?
Should the Water Works and Fire Alarm
Systems be Owned and Controlled
by the Cities?

The following is the paper presented
by the New Ulm delegates at the Fire
mems Convention at Duluth in answer
to the question, ssShould Water Works
and Fire Alarm Systems be owned by
the City,"
In treating of this topic, the following
points should be consldered:
The extent of consumption of city wa
ter; the matter of economy to the pub
lie at large; the quality of services; the
harmonious operation Of water works
system and local. fire department; and
the responsibility which attaches to EACH
take it that while one of the great
purposes of system of waterwor)xs is
to furnish good fire protection, the main
object is to give good, pure water to the
greatest number Of consumers at the low
est possible cost. This city system can
do, whereas with private concern, the
plant itself, its style of operation and
the Importance of extensions are all
made secondary to desire for dividends
at the end of the fiscal year. The spirit
Of a private system is not to see how
good service can be rendered the city,
but how much can be made for the own
ers with the least possible outlay. The
plain difference is this-the one system
is public spirited, paid for by all the peo-
pie and exercised for the widest good
the other is selfish, aiming to get as much
out of the people as possible by always
keeping within the bounds of profitable
investment.
In the matter of economy, the New
Ulm system, owned by the city, is parti-
cularly illustrative. From the statisti-
cal reports of City Clerk Schilling, I have
it that the excess of the operating ex-

penses during the past year over the rem
tai receipts was on!, $752O5 and for
this balance the city has had free water
for all fire protection purposes, sprink-
ling, public schools, public cemetery and
parks-an item that is unquestionably
worth to the public all the interest
which it pays ON the Indebtedness of the
plant To illustrate, we now have for
ty-seven fire Migrants, located in sections
where they are certainly needed. The
lowest rate charged per by lrantin cities,
where>the system is in the hands of pri-
vate owners, is $40, which in this city
would mean an annual outlay of $3.50
for fire protection alone, as against $3.50
for all the purposes stated beforehand.
And SO it is in every department Of
the entire system. The public get all
the extensions they want; they get their
water at the lowest possible rates; and
the city pays1practically nothing for its
own and the general need.
The quality of service, too, is the very
best. Close attention to public req uire-
mepts, giving the greatest accommodation
for the least money, takes the place of
the greatest profit for the most sparing
expenditure, as exhibited IN franchise in
situations.
The fire department. being under the
same control, the two are made to work
in harmony. The advantages of one sub
serve the needs Of the other, and the CT
ty, having the handling of both, can les
sen the expense of conducting each.
The alarm system forms a part of the
whole and simply helps to make a per
feet and prompt acting service in case
of fire. All are connected-all work to-
gether. ..-- -
Shifting of responsibility from one
to the other is done away with and all
unite in bearing the burden. .
And il is this fact-the union which
we have Of all three systems-tha has
been the chief source Of confidence in
case of fire and of satisfaction with the
work of our local depal tment.

Judge Henderson of the sixth Maryland
judicial circuit in hts charge to the grand
jury OF Montgomery county made last
Monday added to his already high reputa-
ton as lawyer and just judge His re-
marks on the lynching of Sydney Randolph
went straight to the point and without
wasting words in an effort to palIate the
CRIME he designated the lynchinS as a
coWardly, treacherous and brutal murder
he called on the grand jury to ferret out
the men who had taken part in the con-
sTracy and to bring them to that Justice
which they had denied to Randolph 1t is
to be hoped that the new grand Jury of
montgomery county will appreciate the
situation. and, uninfluenced by any other
ssdea than their duty. will make careful
investigation of this affair and wipe off the
blot which now stains the fair name of
montgomery county. The last PARAGRAPH
In Judge Henderson's charge relating to
this matter. however gives the lynchers
fair warning Of what they may expect. In
this paragraph he states that If the present
grand jury fails to do its duty he will pre-
sent the matter to every succeeding jury
until some body of men is found with the
courage and integrity to measure I'D to the
standard of duty imposed by the oaths they

it's force by England to assume a perpetual
and general guardianship over the nations
to the south. Such a relationship has
never been seriously contemplated nor de-
sired.
Venezuela of course has given assent and
approval to the representation of her in
terests in the matter by the United States.
At present no diplomatic relations exist be-
tween Venezuela and Great Britain and
mediator is necessary. Were the United
States concerned only in a friendly, SYM
pathetic way in Venezuela's welfare this
mediation should end with an agreement to
submit the dispute to arbitration. But the
case il held to involve the material inter
ests of the United States and the principle
of the Monroe doctrine, and as long as
Venezuela is willing and anxious it is not
only proper but expedient that the United
States should become a party to the arbi-
tration. Venezuela MAJ safely be counted
upon to accept the results of the test of
ownership to the disputed territory, for she
probably stands today to win more of her
claims than though she had been able to
deal directly with England.
No doubt exists in American minds, at
least. as to the real value of the Venezue-
Ian commission in bringing about the agree

us nndinSs would be disastrous to Lord
Salisbary's former position. Hence it has
been steady and powerful moral force in

agreement to arbitrate might have been
Indefinitely postponed. The material col

Boston has enclosed her bothersome Bac-

opening box office some such compromise
might be effected as is offered in cities
which prohibit pictures on bill-boards of

consciousness that no one shall be de-

mission.
