see New York the best governed city

many ideas can be borrowed from
the old world that will improve the
administration OF city affairs here.
He expects to see Tammany back in

without doubt anxious to take an
important part in this great work

reason his friends are confident that
he will be the candidate for mayor.
New York has been coDgratulating
herself on having turned the tiger
down, but the animal is still lively
and if not closely watched may be
back in its old position. Mr.. Croker
says: II have not the slightest
doubt that Tammany Hall will carry
the greater city by $4,000 votes and
upward. New York never had one
reform administration alter another.
One such government appears to be
all the people can stand in one decade.
"The present so.called reform adj
ministration has been chiefly noted
for its increase OF the tax rate, accom-
panied by higher appraisement.
"If there has been any correspond
ing improvement in the quality of the
government, the people have not dis
covered it. Tammany Hall always
kept the taxes down. 1t managed the
government honestly and economi.

The Destruction of Fish in our
Streams.

What is killing he fish in our streams
is vital question of the present day.
From all parts of our country are heard
complaints of fish destruction through
various agencies-illegal fishing appara-
tus, the use of dynamite, unreasonable
capture, and worst OF all, the pollutions
caused by many branches of manufacture
and mining. Spawning beds are covered
with mud, sawdust and other deleterious
substances; oils and chemicals destroy
the flavor of food and game fish, and
drive away the spawning schools. Fish
and high stage OF civilization do not
seem to thrive together in the same local
tiles. Are we to be reduced to the neces-
sity Of establishing fish preserves for pub
lie as well as private needs? Tanneries,
paper mills, acid factories. sawmils. oil
retineries and coal mining are a part of

regulate their operations as to preserve
the cheap and wholesome food furnished
with greater or less certainty and regu-
larity in waters now contaminated by
waste products. That problem has been
met, and, to some extent, solved in for

whether our own people are sufficiently
wise and energetic to save a valuable in

The car believes that the alliance
just concluded with President Faure
means the peace of the world for a
long time to come. This forecast of
the young car may not prove true,
but it is to his credit that he is san
guine enough to think it so and that
he prefers the dove of peace to the
eagle OF war.

Alive With a Bullet in His Heart.

Medical men and scientists are amazed
at the marvellous vitality of Charles B.
Nelson. A second sciagraph, success.
fully developed clearly confirmed the
belief that the hero Of the midnight
mystery of Washington Park has bullet
in his heart. What is more, they antici.
pate that Nelson has an excellent chance
ofliving to a ripe old age. The last pic
ture reveals the fact that the bullet pene-
trated Nelson's body to depth of two
and half inches from the surface or flesh
line. 1t penetrated the pericardium, or
sac which surrounds the heart, and
lodged between the center and left curve
OF that organ. The sac is about the thick
ness of a linen cuff.
Dr. G. Frank Lydspon said: 1T is an
extraordinary instance, but not without
precedent. 1t is possible that the bullet
lodged IN his heart and that he may live
for years. There is an instance of this
possibility in Vermont, where farmer
was shot in the heart. The bullet entered
the aorta. which is worse than wound
in the heart ordinarily. 1t pierced the
right auricle and remained there. Sixty
days afterward he was well and went to
work in his bayfield, One day he fell
while at work and died from anturism, a
rupture or tumor caused by the lorna
ton OF blood near the scar. The bullet
in the heart, however, did not kill him.
During the civil war there were few in
stances where soldiers were shot in the
heart and lived. Animals have demon
strated the same vitality in several cases.
1t is remarkable however, for any human
being to havesuch endurance. - Chicago

abroad is put down as failure, chiefly
on account Of the cast Adele Ritchic,
who has the leading part, has made ii
personal hit, however, and her singing
and acting are being praised.

scum at l3iscnach, which has only late

both natives Of Suatford, Va. Robert
Treat Paine was six years older than
Tom Paine, the puJlicist. The former
was a Bostonian; the latter was born in
ENGLAND.
Tie compromise Of 1880" was an
important measure. By this compro-
mise slavery was to be continued IN the
District of Columbia, but the buying
and selling of slaves there was to be
abolished. At the same time a new
and severe law was made for the return
cf fugitive slaves. which was no longer
left 10 the several states, but intWeted
to the United States officers. After
these rulings, California was admitted
as n free state, and New Mexico organ
ized as a territory without slavery.
