GREATER NEW YORK.
The Appointing Power of the Mayor
Will be Something Great.

VIII be something treat
The signature of Gov. Black to the
Greater New York bill gives to this
country the second largest city in
the world. The following is brief
synopsis of the main provisions of
the new charter:
The municipality is divided into
five Observation-Disclosures, BroX,
Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond
which are in turn each subdivided
into ten council districts. The
Mayor will be elected for four years
at salary of $4,000 per annum, in
stead of for two years at $4,000, as
at present. With the exception of
the Comptroller, who will be elected
by popular vote, all municipal
officers will be appointed by the
Mayor, who may remove at will
during the first six months of his
tenure. There will be only one
police force under bipartisan
board of four, as at present. The
department of public works is
abolished, and water supply, sewer,
bridge and street bureaus will re-
place it, their heads to be appointed
by the Mayor. There will be a
municipal Legislature of two houses,
council of twenty eight members,
elected from designated districts,
and the Assembly of five members
from each of the twenty-one sem
atOrial districts in the Greater New
York.
OF course Brooklyn and Long
Island City are names no longer on
the map. Greater New York covers
a territory of 35934 square miles,
being thirty-two miles long and six
teen miles wide, with an estimated
population of about 100000, second
in both respects only to London.
The first Mayor will be elected Nov.

Moody on Journalism.

1t is one of the most enrolling
and educating of professions. In my
opinion, every theological student
in the land ought to work on news
paper for at least year in order to
study human nature and gain the
knowledge that it is impossible to
receive in the academy, at college
and in the seminary. That's the
trouble with preachers. They don't
know the men to whom they are
preaching, and with whom they are
dealing; they haven't a knowledge
of human nature; the best way to
acquire all of which is through work
on the press. So, you see, am 3
believer in the newspaper and of the
great practical work which it per-
forms. You people reach thousands
where we reach hundreds, and the
results are correspOndingly large

SATAN'S "WANT AD."

Johnson, the drunkard, is dying today,
With traces of sin on his face;
He'll be missed at the club at the bar, at
the play;
Wanted: A boy for his place.
Simons, the gambler, was killed in a
fight
He died without pardon Ofgrace;
Some one must train for his burden and
blight;
Wanted: A boy in his place.
The scoffer, the idler, the convicts, the
thief
Are lost; and without any noise
Make it known, there comes to my in
slant relief
Some thousand or more of the boys.
Boys from the fireside, boys from the
farm,
Boys from the home and the school,
Come, leave your misgivlngs, there can
be harm
Where "drink and be merry's" the
rule.
Wanted: For every lost servant of
mine,
Someone to live without grace,
Someone to die without pardon divine
Will you be the boy for the place?

Mans Most Vulgar Habit.

mans MOsI ulsar haDlt'.
"If men were compelled to wear
skirts for period [ think they
would insist more than they now do
that their fellOw-men should stop
the nasty habit Of splitting in pub
lic,n writes Edward w. Box in the
May Ladies Home Journal. "There
is no practice of man which is more
distressing to women than this dis
gushing habit. Women constantly
complain of it, especially in our
larger cities, where sometimes the
sidewalks are scarcely fit for them
to walk upon. They revolt at the
practice, and they are right in so
doing. Yet year in and year out
the habit not only continues, but in
creases, and the protection of clean
illness, to which every woman walk
ing upon our streets has perfect
right, is denied her. In New York
City the Board of Health has taken
the matter up on the grounds of
public health, and the Police De-
partment is lending it's cooperation
in the enforcement of an ordinance
directed against the evil. No action
taken in New York for years is so
highly to be commended, and the
ordinance should quickly extend to
other cities and be put into force.
1t is an undertaking which public
opinion will sustain in whatever
part of the country it is attempted.
Every community should be urged
to try the experiment. The
time is ripe when every decent man
should take some steps to see to it
that the nastiest and most vulgar of
all American habits should be en-
tirely stopped. New York City has
started the reform. Let the Boards
of Health of few of our other large
cities take up the question, and the
reform, which appeals to every
clean-minded man and woman, will
soon spread. 1t is a work in every
way calling for the attention and
action of Boards Of Health and all
bodies and citizens interested in the
health of communities. The spit
ting habit is an absolute menace to
the public health. Smaller
communities need not wait for the
larger cities. The decent men of
JIl6 Sllldll6Sb community can COIl6
together, awaken interest in the
matter and see that a prohibitive
ordinance is passed. And if the
men are slow in seeing their duty il
is to be devoutly hoped that the wo-
men will take the question in hand
and see to it that this disgusting
habit receives that necessary public
attention which it has lacked in the
past"

Advice to Girls.

my dear girl, when a man asks
YOU to become his wife, you ought
to put some questions to yourself, !"
writes Ruth AshmOre to girls on
-'.The Profession of Marriage" in the
Ladies' Home Journal. Satisfy
yourself that you love this man well
enough not only to be happy with
him, but, If need be, to suffer with
him. Decide for yourself if this be
the man of all others in whom you
will find your ideal companion, for
scompanionship means as much in
marriage as in friendship. Then
you must think of the future. Ask
yourself, too, whether this man
brings out in you all that is best,
whether he provokes that which is
little and mean in you, or whether
he piques you into making light of
that which is good.
Decide whether this man is the
one with whom you would be will
ing to grow old; whether this man
lis the one to whom you would with
out hesitancy submit questions that
trouble your conscience. Then, too,
you must ask yourself what seems
perhaps like trivial question,
whether this man is one whose
name you will feel hOnored in
bearing, not because of any material
wealth he may possess, but because
of his being an honest gentleman.
Think outall these things; ask your
self question upon question, not
only as to his fitness, but as to yours,
and then, if you give him the loving
answer that he wishes, try to become
thoroughly acquainted with him."

Cycling Costumes.

and most graceful, and though per-
haps still possessing some elements
of danger, it is comparatively safe.

plain in front, tlaring little at the
sides and laid in deep plaits at the
back. These are so placed that they
hide the fact that the skirt is really
divided. The skirts are generally
hemmed and row of stiffening is
put under the hem, and the whole is
tailor stitched in from two to ten
rows. There are two reasons for
this-first, it causes the skirt to
hang better, and, second, it keeps it
from catching in the wheels. The
hem is firmly sewed and cannot rip
or catch. The finish is particularly
neat. Some of the suits are made
of serge, in dust gray or light brown.
Some are of lightweight covert suit
ing. CheviOt and cravanette are
used in others. All the above men
toned frabics are both durable and
handsome, and also suitable, but
cravanette has the advantage of be-
ing water proof. This ought to COM
mend it to riders, who are always
liable to get caught in a shower.
Cravanette, like serge, which it
resembles closely, is produced in
grays, browns and the new greens.
The least conspicuous colors are the
best for cycling costumes.
Some of the skirts are arranged so
that the front breadth buttons all
tile way down on both sides and can
be removed at will. leaving the lady
in fully divided skirt. But l see
very few of these. There are few
boomers intended to be worn en-
tirely without a skirt, but few
women, comparatively, feel strong
minded enough to adopt them. The
Norfork jacket, with its neat and
pretty plaits and belt, is quite the
favorite. There are few variations
on this style, principally in the way
of ending the folds. Some are
pointed, some tongued and some
others tulip shaped, reaching in
some cases below the edge of the
jacket. The collars are very plain,
and few of them are opened at the
top, though a very small V opening
with the still smaller coat lapels
would not be out of place. So far,
all sleeves are in the gigot shape of
last year, though not so full. They
are so we'll adapted to the needs of
the lady riders that it will be almost
impossible to give them up. They
are roomy and yet never in the way.

Correct Walking.

A bright American, while visiting
at AiXles-Bains, met a young wo-
man, with whom she took several
long walks. After the first eXcur-
sion she began to notice that her
companion felt less fatigue than she
did, and always returned with her
skirts in excellent condition, even
when the roads had been either
muddy or dusty. This state of
affairs caused her considerable sur
prise, so at length she asked for an
explanation, and was promptly told
that her acquaintance had taken a
course of walking lessons, so she
writes: 81 soon sought herinstruc-
tor, and have ever since prof1ted by
his instruction. Now 1 am mistress
of the situation as well, and can
likewise not only walk greater dis
tances and with less fatigue than
formerly, and return with garments
equally nice, but 1 find that said
garments will remain in condition
longer than before, and that my car
riage is astonishingly improved.

hitherto for long time been idle. Every

has recently been completed in order to

c. Elwood Brown of this City, who with
Attorney w. w McNair and others is en-
gagged in pushing work on the Gowanus
mine, in the Plymouth district, gives a
very cheering account of the condition OF
things among the miners. Mr.. Brown
has been there for some time past, and
has recently come down to spend a few
days at his home here. He is president of
the Gowanus Gold Mining Company.
Everything is moving along in steady
and satisfactory way in the Plymouth dis
trict." said Mr.. Brown yesterday. "It is
active, no matter which way you turn.
Times are good. A lot of work is being
done on different properties, and as rule
they are looking well.

now down eighty feet. and seven-foot
ledge has been opened, which the owners
say TuuS iTOIu pJ W PzO u lOl.
"The Pocahontas Is down 160 feet and
has an eight-foot ledge of good ore. The
property is looking very well every way,
and the owners believe it will prove a
great mine.
''Of our work on the Gowanus I can say
that it is eminently satisfactory. The
mine is not on spur but on the main
mother lode. We are down but 40 feet
but | have just had an assay of what is
supposed to be average ore in the bottom,
and it was something over $50 10 the ton.
The Gowanus is an old mine, and we have
lately started up work on it. We are told
that before it closed down mill runs were
obtained on the ore and that they were
good.
IA Mr.. Potter, who owns farm of 160
acres, has had an offer of 500, 600 for it. 1t
is field, but it is believed that good
ledge of ore or more than one can be
opened on it. There is some talk, too, of
