Democratic Successes in New York.

Correspondence of the Public Ledger.
New YORK, March 19.-In the town cleo
tons throughout the State, this and last week,
there have been significant Democratic gains.
These gains have not been confined to one
locality, but are so uniform as to constitute
sure sign of reaction. While local issues
have, of course, predominated, yetso general
has been the triumph of the Democratic can
didates that there is no escape from the con-
clusion that the tide of Republican success is
beginning to recede Even in Louis Payn's
town Democratic collector was elected. Nc
Kinley majorities have been wiped out in many
places. The reaction naturally suggests the in
qury whether it is mere temporarymovement
or whether it foreshadows still greater over
throw in November. Whatever meaning it
may have as regards State and national poll
tics, it certainly has a direct bearing on the
coming election in Greater New York. That
will be local contest, as these were, and the
same motives ought naturally to rule. The
Democratic gains up the State give immense
encouragement to the Tanmany and Nc
Laughlin machines, whose leaders are conf
dent that they will profit by the apparent re-
bound Of voters from the Republican party.

the society is patterned after the Mont
de Piete of Paris, which has done SO
much to alleviate the temporary dis
tress of the unfortunate. 1t is a pawn
broking business, pure and simple but
its terms to the borrowers are so low
that it comes fairly under the category
of a charity. nM....
The pawnshop in New York has
demonstrated on a scale sufficiently
large that aid can be given on a
strictly business basis by loans at l
per cent. month, or one-third Of the
charge made by regular pawnbrokers
on loans for short time. The chief diff
ference between the charity pawnshop
and those conducted for revenue only
is in the interest rate, but this is not
the only meritorious feature of the pub
lie pawnshop. The Provident Society
grants extensions for a years time or
gives from four to six months grace
when loan is due The regular Shy
lock does as he pleases about granting
extensions. When the regular pawn
broker sells the goods that are in pawn
he pockets the entire proceeds; the loan
society returns to the pledger any sur
plus over the sum owed on the pledge.
Since the organization of the New York
society it has assisted about $4,000 per-
sons, has loaned about $1,200,000, and
about 9S per cent. of all pledges We're
redeemed. Although started purely as
a charity enterprise the pawnshop is
now in a position to pay per cent.
annual interest on its stock, and yet
stands as a broadly philanthropic in
stitution because of the great good it is
enabled to do the classes to whom a
temporary loan is a godsend, but who
distrust the Shylocks that fatten upon
human misfortune.
This is profitable charity, blessing
those who receive it and those who
give it. There should be more of it.

WHAT is DONE IN A HOSPITAL
FOR LOST BOTTLES.

There Is a popular impression nova
days that the profits on aerated waters
are simply enormous, and that to be
manufacturer of these rizzy beverages
is better than company promoting, or
running a brewery on large scale.
But the average Briton who cheerfully
pays down his twopence or threepence
for glass of lemonade or sodawater,
though well aware that the manufac-
turer is reaping a handsome harvest,
little thinks that over five million min
eral-water bottles so astray every year,
and that these bottles are worth at
least twenty-five thousand pounds. In
some cases the buyer leaves small de-
post on the bottles-never their full
value-and thereupon considers his OBJ
legation at an end. However, 1t can
easily be understood that If the manu-
facturer had to replace all the bottles
which are lost stolen or strayed," he
would find it difficult matter to show
balance on the right side, or to even
make both ends meet.
What becomes of all the empty bot
Ties which are thrown contemptuously
aside by every housekeeper? Where do
they go to, and what is their ultimate
fate? A good many, of course, are
broken--especially those which contain
ball-stoppers, for the schoolboy has
found that they make excellent al
leys" and "tors"--and a considerable
number are placed in disused cupboards
and cellars, to be ANONYMOUSLY elected
when spring-cleaning time approaches,
and thrown into the dustbin as useless
rubbish From the dustbin-if it has
survived its harsh treatment, and is
bodily sound-it makes it's way triunl-
phantly to the bottle exchange, which
looks after the welfare of these home
less waits and wanderers.
Every mineral-water bottle costs the
manufacturer close upon one and one
fourth pence, and as the deposit
pense the loss Of few thousand bot
ties used, till the advent of this unique
exchange, to curtail profits considera-
bly,. Even when 1t became customary
for makers to have their names blown
upon the glass, the loss of the bottles
did not diminish, the only advantage
being that a rival trader could not
again refill them.
The Inauguration of a bottle ex-
change, some ten years ago, was, I'M
doubtedly, an extremely smart idea,
and it is now a very flourishing con-
Germ, and is registered under the Trade
Marks act. Its premises are situated in
Holland street Southwark, and to this
place all the derelict bottles are con-
veyed, to be sorted, counted and re-

Wash silks are so pretty that 1t is a
pity to think of their being snubbed
by muslins, but that seems likely. The
early models for the coming season
show wash silk SO drowned in floods of
null or muslin, and tufts of lace, in
crisp frills of transparent cotton goods,
that the silk assumes the insignificant
position of lining. Light colors and
beautifully blended plaids in brilliant
shades contrast each other charming
ly in the new foulards and wash silks,
but there is a happy absence of tue

After all the talk about hostility to
the good roads movement some expect
ed that it would show itself strongly
at the good roads hearing Thursday,
but it didn't What little criticism Of
the movement there was was largely
devoted to details OF it and not to the
main matter. The hearing was very
pleasing to all who have long and 10y
ally been working for good roads, for
real life and strong support. It also
showed that some of the politicians of
Connecticut have begun to realize that
1t viii not pay them to antagonize such
a body of voters as is now known to be
heartily interested in good roads Fiji

ing an eye on.
1t is not probable that any radical
action will be taken by the committee
or the legislature. The law may need
some amending, but it does not need
any amending that will stop or greatly
hinder the progress of a movement that
makes for economy, convenience, COM
fort and Improvement in values. Ii

labor and school attendance, A com

shows an increase of 6S per cent in the
number of male employees of eighteen
years and over, and an increase Of
500 in the number under is years, while
female employees under eighteen ,have
increased SO per cent, Out of 7SO cases
examined where men and women work
together at the same occupation and
with equal degrees of efficiency, men
receive greater pay in 595 cases, or 76
per cent, and women receive greater
pay in 129, or 161s per cent, while in
only IS cases, or 1872 per cent, did the
two sexes receive the same pay for the
same work. The men receive so per

Il. V. Smalley tells in the Chicago
Times Herald how the two greatest
breweries in the world We're acquired
by their present owners through fortu-
nate marriages. Adolph Busch of ST.
Louis worked for Anheuser in small
brewing concern in that city. He was
man, and he fell in love with his en-
ployer's daughter. The old man took
him into partnership and changed the
name of the concern to the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing company. Anheuser is
dead and Busch now owns most of the
stock of the company. He is O. we'll
preserved man Of sixty odd years, and
he makes more beer than any other
concern in the world. When he grew
rich he did not go upon one of the
swell streets of the town to build a
mansion but he put up substantial
brick house within the brewery enclo-
sure. His married son has house near
by. Nobody knows how many millions
the old man Is worth. He got his wealth
honestly by making the best beer he
could Captain Pabst of Milwaukee
used to command a lake steamer run
ming along the Wisconsin coast On
one of his trips he had among his pas
sengers the daughter of Best, the brew
er. The young people fell in love with
each other on that sunny voyage. They
were married and in course of time
Captain Pabst inherited the brewery.
Best beer became Pabst beer, and the
only trace of the late Mr.. Best about
the enormous concern is to be found on
the bottles of Malt Extract, which are
labeled Best Tonic.
