SILK HAT AND OvERALlS.
a Little story of Street Life Which
Points a Moral,

Down on Broadway one bright morn
ing recently two men were walking
briskly. They were dressed with great
care and good taste. Shiny silk hats.
fresh gloves and glossy shoes indicated
not only attention to little things but
also comfortable inspme.
Both men had alert intelligent faces,
and each looked as if he might be
somebody" The younger man seemed
to be unknown to the majority of those
on the street, but in his companion pc
destrians recognized one whose reputa-
ton is national, and whose picture has
appeared at one time and another in
newspapers all over the country.
AT the corner of Cedar street stood a
short, chunky lad, perhaps Is years
old, dressed in overalls and Jumper"
In one hand he carried a piece of lead
pipe, in the other soiled scrap of
paper. His smutty face had an anxious
look.
AS the two well-dressed men reached
the boy he stopped them with: "Say,
boss, kin yer tell me where dis place is 2"
and he held out the scrap of paper. "I
been chasin' meself all up an down de
street, an l can't hit de combination. I"
The older man took the paper with a
pleasant smile and said: II shall be
very glad to help you if can"
He read the address and saw at once
that the place was probably on the
other side of the street. He excused
himself to his friend, waded through
the mud on the crossing, and, with the
plumbers apprentice at his side,
searched the signs without success.
Then he took the boy to the drug
store on the corner and helped him run
over the names in the directory until he
found that the boys employer had
made mistake in the number.
The correct address was substituted
and the lad in overalls put upon the
right track by his distinguished guide
with such marked courtesy that the boy
paused, as he turned away, to saw in a
somewhat subdued tone: "Much
'bliged to yer, sir"
The man in the silk hat bowed cour.
teously in acknowledgment, and re-
crossed the street to his waiting friend.
Seems to me you took good deal
OF trouble to set that boy right" was
the younger mans greeting.
1T was a good chance to teach him
manners" said the other. "Boys like him
are quick to learn. They work hard
and get on fast in business or trade, be-
cause some one corrects them when
they make mistakes. But how can they
learn politeness? They get their man.

Exhibit of Drawing

An interesting exhibition of drawing
done by the pupils of the public schools
during the past year, was given in the
Lincoln building, Saturday afternoon
last; and taking into consideration the
fact that drawing has been systemati-
eally taught in our schools only one
year, it WAS a remarkable exhibition as
we'll. A short description Of it could
hardly do it Justice. One must see it to
appreciate It's full value, both for what
it is in itself as representative ot the
excellent work done and progress made
and for what it means to the children
who have had the benefit of this in
struction.
As one walked about the room and
looked at the specimens of clay model
ing, the original designs made from
materials furnished, the work of the
primary grade in the first principles of
drawing; then the work of the older
pupils, the circles, cubes, etc, all of
which are free hand, the delicate cut
out designs made from colored paper,
which must first be drawn with great
accuracy, the excellent drawings from
models, familiar objects, such as garden
vegetables, vases and other solids, and
square, neatly AIDE by the deft little
tingers-for these they draw their own
patterns before cutting them out-the
thought was ever present what a won
derful help this will be TO the children
in all their future work. The mind, the
eye, the fingers, are being trained, the
true harmony of colors is learned, a love
for the beautiful is cultivated and
through this the soul is reached.
Some of the blackboard drawings,
made by children eight or ten years of
age, were especially well done, and the
practical advantage of the lessons is
already noticeable in the map drawings
among the exhibits. As rule the pu-
pills enter into the work with much en-
tIusiasm, and many have done extra
work at home, which was exhibited 10y
itself much of it showing unmistakable
talent.
1t must be 4 source OF qualification to

drawing, and to the teachers who have

her, that the years work has been SO
highly satisfactory. The one regret is

HENRY GEORGE NAMED.
Democratic Alliance Opposed to Tammany
NOminates Him for Mayor Of the
Greater New York.

New York, October 1.--At the city
nominating convention Of the Demo
cratic alliance Of Greater New York, held
tonight, Henry George was unani-
mously nominated for Mayor. The nom
mating speech was made by Charles
Francis Adams. The nomination was
greeted with enthusiastic applause. The
platform in part Is as follows
"The Democratic alliance is a body Of
Democrats loyal to the policy of the
great Democratic party. Our aim and
object was to find basis for united
action of all Democrats in the pending
municipal contest We deemed it essen
tial that the Democratic party Of Greater
New York should reafflrm the Chicago
platform, pledge itself to policy Of
municipal ownership and operation Of
franchises and to the principles of direct
employment instead of the contract sys-
tenn.
"I'he action OF the city convention Of
September 30 is clear to all men.
"Tammany and her allies hide away
the national banner Of Democracy and
are ashamed to march under Its folds.
The Benedict ATnolds Of last fall, who
deserted to the enemy on the eve OF bat
tie, are to be restored to places Of honor
and friendship; the franchise grabbers
are to retain their clutch on the clty's
highways, by Tammany's aid and con-
nivance, thus Tammany and her allies
separate themselves in principle and
policy from the Democratic party of the
nation and must be looked upon solely
as local body Of unprincipled spOil's
hunters, unfit to sit in the councils of
the party whose doctrine they ignore and
whose honor they betray."
The platform also declares in favor
Of municipal home rule, municipal own
ership and operation of franchises, g.
cent street railway fares, dollar gas, an
eight-hour day at prevailing rate of
wages, representation Of labor in ad-
minstration and legislative branches Of
the city's government, free open air
places for the holding of public meet
ings, and opposition to government by
injunction.

national control. Gradually and stealth
lily it has taken possession of the citadel,
seized upon it's approaches, and now
raises its brazen front to terrify all who
venture to question it's supremacy
Want, If it does not obey its mandates,
is threatened with greater want. Des-
titution, humiliation and finally death
follow in it's wake. Millions in a day
made by a government pawnbroker is
hailed as a great achievement, while
honest wages are deplored as an intOl-
erable burden upon the savings of the
pawnbroker."
The platform reported by the COM
mittee on resolutions was adopted. The
platform practically ignores national is
sues, declaring at the outset:
1--WE regard as the supreme issue Of
the municipal campaign the Inaugural
ton Of wise, liberal, honest and DEM
oCratic government in place of the pres
ent costly, wasteful, illiberal and in
efficient administration" The platform
declares for home rule in city govern
ment and denOunces the dictation of
the State Legislature in municipal af
fairs. Laws that "curtail the personal
liberty of the citizens in the practice
Of innocent customs and in the pur-
suit of harmless pleasures" are con-
demned, and their liberal administra-
ton is demanded until they are re-
pealed. The Raines liquor law is con-
demned. The public franchise plank de-
clares;s
1--WE favor municipal ownership and
municipal control of all municipal fran
chises." The platform demands that
the price of gas be reduced to 81 or less
per 1000. The progress of organized
labor the platform views with rejoicing,
enforcement of the labor laws is insisted
on, and the extension Of the law of in
junction in suppression of the struggles
of the laboring masses" evoked a pro-
test The platform pledges the Democ-
racy to improve the schools, provide
rapid transit, recreation grounds, good
roads, bicycle paths, small parks and
pier gardens
