"The difference in the comforts

shopping in the o1den time almost
surpasses belief. All the shopping
of the days gone by was subject to
the wearisome, harassing and ir-
ritating annoyances of the hag-
Cling, time-consuming two-price
systems, which, coupled with the
necessity of visiting many stores
to get even a moderate variety of
articles, made a shopping expedi-
tion of those days great trial to
womankind and a peculiarly diff
cult task to those of a sensitive

State Aid to Good Roads.

State aid to wagon roads has been in vog-
ne for severel years in some of the Eastern
States. New Jersey seems to have been
the pioneer in this departure from old
road building methods. New Jerseys sys-
tenn Of road building divides the expense
between the abutting property owner,
whose land rises in value as the result of
improving the road, the county and the
State. The property owner pays / 0 per
cent. of the cost, the State pays one third
and the county pays the remainder. The
improvement is made upon the petition of
the property owners, plans are made by
county engineer and submitted to the
State Highway Commissioner for approx
al; thecounty makes the contracts and
the States appoints supervising engineer.
Upon completion of the improvement a
warrant is drawn upon the State treasury
for one third of the cost and the adjoining
property owner is assessed by the county
for his portion of the expense. State aid
has also been introduced in Rhode Is
land and Connecticut, and Massachus etts
and the State of Washington are both
building some of their roads at the entire
expense of the State. These States aid
roads are, as rule, macadam roads, and
have met with general approval, especial
ly on the part of farmers, who find them
selves able to haul four tons of produce
with 1.-TWO horse team, where formerly
their load did not exceed a ton
and half or even a single ton.
The Road Commissioner of New
Jersey writes me that most of his
time is spent listening to the pleadings Of
farmers that their roads shall be given
the benefit of the State aid. General APP
proval of the State aid system, on the part
of the agricultural classes, indicates its I'M
doubtedly growing popularity, and it is
safe to say that when the great necessary

which we seem to have been the least re-

the cultivated atmosphere of our homes.
The color in our houses, the pictures on
our walls, the beautiful forms of the glass
on our tables, have each influenced us,
and helped to form us more than we dream

The Mayor of Greater New York.

1t is well understood that Van Wyck,
elected Mayor of Greater New ork Nov.
I'd, is but figure head and that the real
potentate who will direct the affairs of
;, 0OO 900 of people for their veal or woe
will be Richard Croker, 1t is therefore
much more to the point to inquire into the
career of Croker than of V an Wick.
Croker began business in this country as a
prize fighter Afterwards he went into
politics and became the head of what was
known as the Tunnel gang In 1874 he
was indicted on a charge of killing one
Mckenna in an election row, and was tried
on the charge. The jury however.
disagreed, standing eight for conviction
and four for acQuittal Public sentiment
was against him at the time, and it was
generally believed that he was guilty.
Some years after, however, one of the
gang made confession on his death bed
in which he said that he fired the shot
that killed Mckenna. Croker managed to
get himself elected to several important
city offices, but up to 1890 he claimed that
he was poor man, testifying to that eff

year. Five years later he was able to
spend 500, 600 in a lump for horses and
more than 5000, 600 for a residence in New
York. When he went to Europe at the
time the Lexow committee was in session

George openly intimated that if the method
was known it would land Croker in the

These are some of the salient features in
the career of the man who is likely to be
the virtual head of the city government of

will contain population of nearly 3,OOO,-
