New York at any hour of the night? Many
people of the country are afraid of this
city"
Il believe" replied the mayor "that life
and property are as safe here as in any
place in the world. There is no more dan
ger of man being robbed or killed in any
part of New York than there is in the
wilds of the west, or. in fact, in any coun-
try village. OF course, robberies occur ev-
erywhere. and the man who acts the fool
and does not mind his own business. who
gets drunk and goes into bad places, is la
BILE to get into trouble in any city or any,
where else. 1t is the same in New York,
but not more so than in other places"
Mayor strong and the Poor.
There is one thing Mayor Strong
has kept before him during his term,
and that is that the mayor OF a
great city like this ought to pay especial
attention to the complaints of the poor.
He said not long ago: Il am here 10 look
out for the poor people; the rich will take
care of themselves" He does look out for
the poor L don't think he would like to
have it told, but l know that very little OF
his salary goes into his own pockets. He
is always giving to one charity or another.
Every morning when he comes 10 the Of
flee he has a lot Of one and two-oollar
notes with him. These he places in the
drawer at his right hand, and when wo-
men come in with their tales of woe which
tne city remedy, he gives inefn q uOi-
lar or so apiece to ease the refusal he has
to make.
He watches the streets of the poor parts
of the city, and sees that the tenement
houses of such quarters are more carefully
inspected than those of other parts.
Not long ago a poor woman came
into the mayors office and took her seat
on one of the sofas. She waited several
hours until the other and bolder callers
who pushed their way before her had been
disposed of, and then timi1ly came to
Mayor Strong's desk. She drew a small
bottle of blue chalk-like mixture from
ur.der her shawl and said: MIR. Mayor
have brought you little bottle of milk to
| show you what the dairies are selling TO
| the poor people of this town. l bought this
bottle in a grocery 1 came here. IL is
what we have to use for food for our
| babies. and we cannot get anything bet
ter" The mayor asked the woman TO
leave the bottle and he would attend TO IL.
| He sent for the health officer. rhe officer
| said that the milk was undoubtedly bad,
| but that they had not enough inspec ors TO
| enforce the laws.
How many more do you want?" asked
| Mayor Strong.
| We need fifty or SIXTY, was the reply.
| well, get them, and make them pay at
teGtion to the poor" said the ma ,or. This
| was done, and the mayor saw that the
laws were carried out. He saw that the
| fines were paid to the full extent, and

was that the poor people got good milk.

Elastic AdvcrtisinR Rates.

From the Chicago Times Herald. i
When the advertising agent Of one of the
greatest shows on .earth-for In the circus
business "greatest' is not a superlative
term at all-visited a small town in Kansas
last summer he called upon the editor of
the local paper and inquired the cost of a
double-column display advertisement In the
next two issues.
1.-Two hundred and eighty dollars" waS
the reply, without a seconds hesitation.
Great Scott! Are you crazy?" cried the
agent. What would You charge US for a
full pager
Two hundred and eighty-just the
same?'
But how do you figure ft?' expostu-
lated the circus man. Haven't you any
settled rate for space advertising?"
"See here, mister" earnestly remarked
the editor, II don't pay any attention to
space in this DEAL but do know just
what an advertisement in this paper will
page, or the whole blamed paper, just as
you like. There's a mortgage for $3.50 on
this shop, and your circus has got to help
me out with it. If 1t doesn't I'm a goner,
that's all. You may move right in here
and run the whole shooting match for a
couple of weeks to suit yourself, but we've
got to ante up $3.50 before next Saturday
night. Now, then, are you a friendly In
dian or are you hostile?'
All the dates" and extra posters used
last season by that show throughout the
west were printed in a little one-horse
newspaper Office in Kansas. The paper Is
still issued regularly, and its editor shows
every evidence that he is at peace with all
the world and Is prospering.

The roar of nearby battle and the kissing
of flying missiles overhead rendered the
voices of the men indistinct, and mercifully
swallowed up some uncallcd-for oaths and
r1bald jests. Suddenly the darkness In the
sunken road was softened and iiumined
by a red reflection from burning stacks
and farm buildings on the invisible field
The groups of men under the shelving
banks, the long artillery train and the
trees overhead took on the lurid hue or a
dragons grotto in play. while the bank
which shut off the view of the fire was
lighted by a more than MONDAY brilliance
against the fierce conflagration. The
brightest light streamed across the very
apex of the hill through which the road
had been cut. The Jagged stone wall was
nearly leveled with the earth. Not tree
or bush broke the lighted expanse, in the
very midst of which appeared the sill

he reached a small town ia Ohio, where he
secured a position as clerk IN hour and
feed store and went to work. In almost an
Incredibly short time he harmed tie Englisn
language and had mastered the few details
of the business he WAS in.
One day he walked into another feed store
a few blocks away. said that he had heard
that the proprietor Of the place desired to
sell out and inquired the price. The iced
dealer wanted 81 500. After few inquiries
the caller said:
IAN right will call tomorrow at 10 and
veil go over to the bank and get the mon
No one knew anything about the young
German. The feed store man who wanted
to sell jumped to the conclusion that the
prospective purchaser must have brought
considerable money from Germany. The
next day, promptly on time, the German
called to take possession.
Come on" he said ''ve'll go right over
to the bank now and get the money"
Together they entered the bank. The Ger
man approached the cashiers window. in
troduced himself and said:
'Dis is Mr.. Jones, who keeps the feed
store on Main street. 1 baf bought out his
place for 1880. and We haf called 10 get the
money"
II beg your pardon, replied the cashier.
"You don't understand" earnestly re-
marked the German. II don't want an ac-
count at all; I want only the money"
But you have no money in this bank"
explained the official.
.'Of course not" assented the caller. IF
I had money I would pay dis man myself.
But haven't any money at all. SO 1 must
come to you to get it.
"But we can't let you have money unless
you first give 1t to u.s."
Then why is a bank?" excitedly demand
ed the would-be borrower.
The colloquy which ensred waxed SO loud
that the president Of the bank came out OF
his private Office to see what was the mat
ter. He took the young German in hand
personally. The latter told the banker all
about himself and his aims. and in less
than a half hour the bank had loaned him
1880 and held first mortgage on a feed
store owned by the happiest young foreign
er In America.

heels. During my visit TO the English
metropolis not long ago heard a great
fuss made about a sale of business prop
erty there at price equal to $1O,Oo0,OO0 an
acre. A lot was sold within a stones
throw of the city hall only a year or SO
ago for price amounting to s5000.000 an
acre. This lot was on the corner of Mas
sau and Liberty streets 1t contained con-
siderably less than a quarter of an acre of
ground, and it brought $1,25O,OOO. There is
scarcely any property OH the Island OF
Manhattan which can be bought cheaply
today. There are lots along lower Broad
way which are worth price equal to
carpet of silver dollars over their entire
surface, and there are some, l venture,
which you could not buy by offering to
stand silver dollars on edge, side by side
