these is a stationary washstand. The out
look over the park is really superb, and is
probably taken into account in fixing the
tariff for the room. On the door there is
a printed card which states that the price

sons without board, Sc a day. Now. re-
member that this is small and cheap

park. Now, Sc a day for my little room
amounts to $3.50 a year, and, mind you
the room has only one window, and makes
no sort of pretense at luxury. You get the
luxury however, when you descend to the
lower floors of the hotel, and find that you
pay, not for your little room, but for the
beautiful parlors, the comfortable loung-
ing and writing rooms, the army of we'll
trained servants always ready to attend
your slightest wants, and all expecting
tip; the really good oil paintings on the
walls by flrst-rate French artists and the
general air of quiet, dignity and excu-
siveness which pervades the whole place

100000 year rent for the hotel, and that
he has over 800 servants, I am not dis
posed to complain about the Sc a day for

really wonder how he can make both ends
meet.
The restaurants at these upper class no
tells have prices which appal an economi-
cal man from the west A dish Of straw
berries costs so cents; three boiled pota-
toes are 80 cents for a few stalks of as
paragus they charge Is cents; and any sort
of a steak will cost you from $3.50 to $3.50,
and the only merit you see in the whole
scheme is that two can eat for exactly
the same price as one. am glad to note,
however, that the custom of half portions
is coming in, but this is of no use to la
dies, for it is applied only in the cafes
where the bachelors resort. 1t is very diff
fcult in one of these fine restaurants to
figure out any kind Of full meal for less
than 81, and then it will consist of very
plain dishes. Still If you have the money
to spare there Is a certain sense of salts
faction in feeling that you are getting alb
solutely the very best food cooked in the
very best way which this great metropolis
of contrasted luxury and poverty can pos
sibly afford and then it may add to your
sense of Importance to realize that the
great Vanderbilt lives Just across the way.
and that the other Vanderbilts are only
just a square or two down Fifth avenue
to get a glimpse Of the house of the great
Mr.. Huntington, and to realize that the
great Mr. Rockefeller actually belongs to the
club which inhabits the great white marble
structure just across the avenue For all
these satisfactions you must, of course,
pay; and to some people they are well
worth paying for. Yet probably the poor
man who goes away with his hunger
satisfied at the scent eating house down
on the Bowery is about as happy as the
millionaire who has disbursed $40 for a
small dinner at one of these great Fifth
avenue hotels.

PASSENGER WHEELBARROWs.
They Carry six Persons and Are Ex-
tensiveIy Used In China.


The wheelbarrow affords one of the
chief means OF travel and transport in
China. especially in the northern part of
the empire and throughout the great plain.
The Chinese form is a decided improve
ment on the types used In western coun-
tries. for It is so constructed that the load.
which sometimes is very great in bulk and
weight. is carried over the wheel, and not
between it and the man who propels it,
The high cost Of timber and the bad roads
throughout the country necessitates the
wheelbarrows being both rude and strong,
with axles and wheels able to bear the
strains which they experience. The
Wheelbarrow is generally constructed OF
oak, at a cost of about 16 shillings. It's
weight Is 100 pounds; extreme length feet
6 inches Including shafts; extreme
bread, feet inches, and hight feet 6
inches. The wheel Is feet in diameter
and has an iron tire IA inch wide by a
inch thick. To aid In steadylng and pro-
pelling the vehicle the wheelbarrow man
wears a strap across his shoulders which

Boxes, bales OF goods. or whatever the

AN APPEAL FOR THE STREETS.
a SOuthsider Wants Bull Street South
of Anderson Looked After.


Editor Morning News-We have been
having various suggestions for the inn
provements of the streets, Drayton to be
asphalted and others streets to be i'm
proved otherwise. We would like to direct
the attention of our councilmen, and es-
pecially those who have such matters
under their immediate control, to the con-
dition of the southern portion of Bull
street. From Anderson street south there
is not even a shadow of a line of denmark
alton between the street and sidewalk
The street has become a great thoroueh-
fare for carriages and bicycles. 1t has built
up rapidly. From Anderson to Twelfth
street, Bull is lined with fine houses.
Within the past two or three years over
twenty substantial residences and stores
have been erected, none of which have
cost less than 5000. The Lutherans have
erected a handsome house of worship and
the Lawton Memorial church is about to
be erected. There being no distinction
being the street and what should be
a sidewalk, the bicyclists invariably whiz
by on their wheels within a foot or two
of the fences and walls of the houses
on rainy weather, the street being a per
feet mud-puddle, delivery and country
wagons have formed the habit of driving
up directly in front Of the store doors, and
in order to pass, at times. the foot pas
senger has to take the middle of the
road Have we no ordinance to rectify
this matter? If so, why Is 1t not en-
forced? The policeman rides by in COM
parative ignorance, or dismounts at the
alarm box, and frequently his horse may
be seen stamping and champing his bit
on what should be q sidewalk and the
CT a oh Of roo
his heels. We are in favor of beautiful
squares and parks but would it not be
better for the masses, if the streets were
looked after first? A Southsider.

sAvANNAHIANs STOOD WELL.
Nine Y. VI. c. AS Received CertiIi-
Gates in the Educational Classes,

Just before the educational classes of
the Young Mems Christian Association
closed for the summer examinations were
held in the different branches, the ques-
tons being sent on from the international
committee Of the associations, with head
quarters at New York. The examinations
were held simultaneous all over the coun-
try, and those who passed had their pa
pers sent on to New York.
Those In charge of the classes have been
very much gratified TO learn that nine Sa-
vannah young men are entitled 10 certih-
Gates. These certificates are being given
recognition at many colleges and higher
Institutions as Pratt Institute, Brooklyn.
Pennsylvania State College; Adrian and
Albion Colleges, Michigan, and many
others.
The following were the successful stu
dents from the Savannah association, who
have passed IS or above by the interna-
tional board of examinations

attended the educational classes of the diff
ferent associations. The importance of
the work can be seen when statistics show
that of all the boys who have remained
in school until u years of age, four-fifths
drop out before they are two years older.

A NEW FRONTIER DIFFICULTY,

Louis Choteau owns a small farm IN

triangular piece of adjoining land in

modious hen house.

states to deposit their eggs. and also TO
sleep there from sunset to sunrise. Louis
sells these eggs in Maine without paying
any duty, claiming that they are an Amer

reason that an egg is not a product until

that If they can bring In eggs free Of duty,
they might also bring in diamonds, which
could be forced into their crops and re-

clearly In contravention OF our revenue

every day In search OF a livelihood, accom-
panied by their husbands. and In some
cases by large families, are clearly foreign

In some quarters there Is a disposition
to pooh-pooh the whole matter as beneath

THE NEWS AT WASHINGTON.
A Controversy About the Books of
the Clerk of the Court.


Washington, Ca, June 1.-THE row be-
tween the committee appointed by the
grand jury to examine the books of the
officials and the clerk OF court still con-
tinues. Issue before last of the Chronicle
contained a three-column article from the
committee, submitting a number of err
rors which they claimed to have found in
the clerks books. The clerk, in the last
issue, answers by saying that the list is
'fagrantly incorrect" and inviting people
who wish to know the truth OF the mat
ter to come to his office and examine books
for themselves. The affairs committed to
his charge, he says, are too sacred for a
newspaper article.
The contention is much deprecated by
the best people of the community, who
have perfect confidence in the upright
ness of the clerk and think that some ex-
cuse should be made for the mistakes, on
account Of sickness in the clerks family.
The commencement exercises of st. Jo-
seph's Academy will take place the latter
