STREET CAR CUSTOMS.

footing there, and any foreigner unused
to the style of going aboard the ele-
waited railways of New York or the end
less rope trucks of San Francisco or the
ceaseless street cars of chicago would
soon find himself bewildefed or belated-
The fair sex in America, however, IS
far from being the weaker sex, ana 1t
is rather novel to hear an American re
buking his countrymen for rudeneSS to
ladies and children. No doubt if it were
the case of a cOlored woman or child
either they would never be permitted
north or south, to mount into the cars
or not the slightest consideration would
be shown them, for in this respect chi
caeo is as bad as New Orleans. But the
American woman proper knows perfect

is at the top of the social and civil tree
in the great republic, and she lets all
people know it who doubt or dispute
that fact Max O'Rell said once, not
less truly than WittiIy,' that the Amer
lean woman IS alloWeu IN hef own
country most of the privileges of her
sex and takes all the rest" Can 1t be
that democratic manners deteriorate so
rapidly that there has arisen need to
tell the American man to pay Difference
to the American woman? She used to
be so palpab bly, his boss, his master, his

We used to behold her haughtily sweep
ing to her seat in car or tram, how
ever crowded, and rarely acknowledge
ingby even nod or a gracious word the
humble masculine being who got out of
his place to make room for his recogniz-
ed superior. Is all this transformed?
Can such a change have come?

JAMESTOWN AS IT IS NOW.
[F'rom the Washington start


a pilgrimage to this region which
should leave Jamestown unvisited
would be en1phatieaIly Hamlet without
the Dane Many people, nevertheless,
will be disposed to think this part Of the
play not worth the candle. The diff
Guilty of getting there is considerable.
and that of getting away may be worse.
IL you go by rail, the nearest station
is Williamsburg eight miles away, and

tWenty-four hours, and as there are
now but two white families there, the

Originally the sight of jamestown was
peninsula of about 1000 acres, much
of it marsh, or under water at high

in fact an island. Some 300 acres have

townsite. Nothing is left for the curl

wharf may be seen, and cypress with
its curious, buttressed roots far out in

prporiated $4,000 to prevent the further
destruction of the island, and an EN-

beginning to be undermined.

81 FOR SUPPER.
(From the Chicago Tribune.)

Tt will cost 81 to get supper at the in
augural ball, in addition to the IS that
must be paid by everybody except Presi-
dent Mckinley Vice President Hobart
and the ladies of their families, for a
ticket of admission. The contract for
furnishing the supper has been given to
a Philadelphia caterer who pays the in
augural committee a percentage of his
gross receipts. This, well as the re-
ceipts from the sale of ball tickets, will
be devoted to the payment of the expen-
ses of the Inauguration. A guarantee
fund of $50,000 is subscribed by the citi-
ZenS OF Washington and the cash is paid
in in order that all bids for the prepara>
lions for inaugural day may be met
promptly. Then the receipts of the bah
are divided among the subscribers to the
guarantee fund as far they viii go.
Four years ago the expenses of the in
auguration were about S36. O00. which were
all covered by the receipts at the ball.
and little over was given to the char
tiles of the city. This year the arrange
ments are on a larger scale, and it is in
tended to expend about $50 900.

M,K1N1EY AND THE BALL

The sentiment expressed by Major
Mckinley in his letter to the inaugural
committee, in which he took strong
grounds against the expenditure of $780,
600 for a ball, will find an echo in the
heart of every lover of humanity. With
thousands of starving and freezing hui
man beings in every large city in the
land; with other thousands on the verge
of similar conditions from lack of en-
ployment it seems a proper time to call
a halt in extravagant expenditures for
a little feeting pleasure and display. It
is, moreover, meet that the example
and precept should emanate from the
head of the nation.
The money spent in one seasons gal
ETY. in the national capital and the other
large cities of the country, properly dis
tributed would go far toward alleviat-
ing the conditions of which the people
complain, and the benefciaries would
be getting but part of their own. The
wealth from which the millionaires of
the east derive the incomes which en-
able them to give entertainments like
the Bradley-Martin affair, costing
quarter of a million was never created
by it's possessors. Many of the people
who are today destitute, idle, and suf-
fering for the necessaries of life have
had hand in building up those colos-
sal fortunes.
Not only does justice demand that
the wealthy recognize the fact that eve
ry man is or should be his brothers
keeper, but their own future peace and
welfare, make it imperative that they
should take some thought for their less
fortunate fellows. The destitute thous-
ands understand the situation fully
and know full well where much of the
product of their toll has gone. They
are patient and long suffering. They
love their country and it's institutions
and still have faith that it will see that
they are accorded a right to work and
to live. But their patience and faith
may not last always. Fifty thousand
dollar inaugural balls, and affairs of
the Bradley-Martin kind give them a
rude shock.
It is not surprising that thoughtful
people are beginning to cast a look
ahead. 1t is but a few days since Rus
sell Sage, who is fair type of the mil
lionaire though not of the eXtravagant
sort pointed out the dangers lurking in
these ostentatious displays of wealth.
Day by day and year by year the warn
ings grow louder and instead of heed
ing them the wealthy become daily more
arrogant and reckless in Haunting their
possesionS in the faces of the masses
Major McKinley's suggestions, there
fore, are well timed. The country is
ripe for something practical along the
lines indicated in his letter. His posi-
ton on the matter of the inaugural ball
may well give rise to the hope that his
conduct of the affairs of the govern
ment will be along similar lines of sim
plicity, economy and consideration for
the welfare of the masses. He has
made a propitious beginning.

oNNAMEs OF PLACES
From the Boston Transcript. ]


Occasionally we come across bogus
Indian name, like that of Manet Beach
in Quincy. Some land spectators when
they established colony of summer
cottages at that place, looked about
them for some attractive name. 1t
seems that the city seal of Quincy bears
the Latin motto, "Manet." Taking this
for an Indian word and the aboriginal
name of the town, the founders of the
shore colony adopted ii for their own!
Quincy has also lost fine old Indian
name through land speculation. From
the earliest days a large tract in the
neighborhood of the Neponset river was
known as Massachusetts Field, for it
was here that the Massachusetts In
dams had their great plantations of
maize When the tract was bought up
for a suburban settlement the promo
tors offered a prize for the best name.
THE foolish name of Norfolk Downs was
the unfortunate choice. Down is iden-
teal with dunes, meaning sand hills.
There is not dune within miles and
miles of the spotl Norfolk Glacier"
would have been just as appropriate;
the latter more SO, indeed, for there was
a gIa cier there once, but there is no evil
