THE TAILORS WINNING.

The striking New York tailors seem
likely to win their fight with the contract
srs, and there are few people who will not
De glad to hear of it. The wages paid
these men have been frightfully low, most
OF the operators not being able to make a
living. The agreement that the contract
ors are beginning to sign is in the main
reasonable. Here are some OF the stipula-
tions:
Ten hours work day; fifty-nine hours
q week.
Weekly payment CT wages.
Employment OF union help.
These stipulations are not unreasonable.
Ii they are all the tailors need to make
them happy they ought to have been ac-
ceded to long ago. Even at these terms
there is no fear that the garment makers
will become millionaires.

BOOIH.TUCkER.

AS to Mr.. Booth-tucker and the charge
of keeping a disorderly house that has
bsen proven against him by New York
court there may be some divergence of
opinion, but 1t is plain that the verdict OF
the court will have some influence upon
the character OF the religious exercises
co lducted by this branch of spiritualists
in the Metropolis hereafter. We hardly
be ieve that Booth-Tucker and his fol-
10 vers intended any assault upon the
t peace and dignity of that city by their
exercises, yet the fact remains that the
noise evolved was of so distinct char
acter that the contiguous residents could
n IT endure it.
For VIC do not believe that there was any
,rsecution in this matter. The trial ap-
d 2 lrs to have been conducted on the most
impartial lines. Booth-Tucker, as well as
his followers, is prone to give away to the
spiritual emotions, and when In the fervor
of religious exaltation are apt to forget
surroundings. That the Salvationists, like
other religious classes, are generally sincere
In their convictions, most people admit,
but sincerity should not rob one of the
faculty of judging acoustics. If Booth
Tucker profits by this Less on, the sentence
will not have been without avail, but 1t is
not at all certain that he will acquire
wisdom from the experience, as he admits
that once before, in Bombay, he got into
similar difficulty with the police.
In religion, as in most everything else,
moderation of demonstration is a good
thing. The average sound headed man or
woman cannot be lastingly influenced by
too much blare of trumpet or too much
emotion. If the Salvation Army should
aim to keep down the noise, without abat-
ing the enthusiasm, they would probably
secure just as many converts and run no
risk of an incursion by the police. AT the
same time they would add to their general
dignity and. the dignity of the religion
they represent. Peace and good will and
dignity go hand in hand.

The Committee on Water of the Brock
ton City Council are investigating the
matter OF future water supply for the
city, in view OF the petitions of one or two
surrounding towns for water service. 1t
is wisdom to commence long before the
need OF action is apparent, and that is just
what the commissioners of Brockton are
doing. They will be well equipped with
facts when knowledge is needed. The
commission has refused to act hastily
despite the efforts of the officials of outside
towns to press matters along that line.

The Salem News cditorially endorses the
action of Pawtucket's City Sealer in or
dering the sale of berries by dry measure
instead of in the boxes as they are Grated.
The News says: "Taking everything into
account, we fail to see why the example Of
the Pawtucket Sealer should not be fol-
lowed in other cities. The average berry
box is delusion and snare. 1t is put
out as quart measure, but it never reaches
that standard. 1t is therefore in order that
the humbuggery connected with the man
ufacture of these bogus articles should be
punctured; for why is il not as imperative
to be exact in this matter as it is to take
cognizance of tampering with the stand
ard by which liquids are measured?

HINTS FROM HARVARD.
President Eliot Expresses His Sentiments
About College Athletics.


At a recent meeting of Harvard stu
dents President Eliot expressed his views
and the views of the corporation of Har-
ward college In regard to the athletic situ-
alton.
"The corporation desires to sec Harvard
teams victorious, but victorious In man.
ner bsftting sportsmen and amateurs,"
said President Eliot. Speaking for him
self, the president said that he had taken
part in the athletic exercises, for which ne
was fitted when in college, and that these
exercises had been of material benefit 10
him during his later life. The value of
competitive athletics lay In the victory
hardly contested and won under unfavor-
able circumstances. The crew or the team
which starts under unfavorable circum-
stances and gradually works its way TO
the front feels that the part Of the race
which was distinctly worth while was the
part in which il was fighting inch by inch
to overcome the lead which its opponents
held.
President Eliot distinctly deprecated the
support which Is shown in shouting tho
other fellow off the field, characterizing 1t
as ungentlemanly and unsportsmanlike.
He thought, however, that there was a
great improvement in this respect over
former times. He regarded the coming of
Mr.. Lehman to Harvard, bringing English
Ideas Of amateur sport, as an epoch max
ing step in the history Of American inter
collegiate sport and warmly applauded the
broad spirit he represents.

Chlna's 100000 Detectives.

A Frenchman naturally thinks the
Partisan detectives the best. English
men swear by the shrewdness of Scot
land Yard men, and Americans, of
course, swear by the New York detec
tives. After three years residence in
China, says one writer, do not think
either of the three bodies are entitled
to the credit given them. The Chinese
beat them all. They are at one time
the most expert thieves, and at an
other the most skilled detectives in the
world. A Chinaman can steal your
watch while you are looking at it, and
he can catch the man who stole it If
it happened to be some other than him.
self when a French detective could not.
I have seen evidences of detective abil-
ity among the Chinese which would
startle even lola. 1t is impossible for
an evil-doer to long elude the Chinese
detectives. They scent a crime and
follow it to the last before civilized de-
tective would know of it. In coun-
try of so many people who all look
alike, this is remarkable. l heard of
one case, which will serve to illustrate
their shrewdness A family in Ton
quin was murdered, and there was no
apparent clue to the murderer. The
entire detective corps Of three prov
inces were placed upon the case, and
in three weeks the murderer-none
other than the chief Of the secret po-
lice, who handled the case for the
murderer-was arrested and behead-
ed. Think Of that. The Chinese detec-
tive force is secret body, and the best
organized in the world. They have an
eye upon every man, woman and child,
foreign or native, in China. and in ad-
dition watch over each other. Inform
ers are encouraged, and collision is
impossible. The head Of the Chinese
police is not known, but there is one.

Loafer's Idea of Don Ouixote.

Eyes, senior, Don Quixote was a fun
ny chap. It's great book, though, and
known to the whole world, even to the
heather and to the English, and the
others. l read it and found it droll
reading, but the best of it I did not
get. There is much in it for persons of
learning. They all say who know that
the science of the world is there, and
that when you understand it you can
get as rich as you want. But I am ig-
norant, and was only amused. Don
QuiXote was very ridiculous fellow,
surely! Think of his taking those
wcnches at the Venta for castle maid
ems! Jesu, what an ass he was! And
Sancho, you say! Well, he is like you
and me, he wants to eat and sleep and
get along with everybody in nice way.
But then don't know the book. There
is something in it can't &c thold Of,
which makes priests and the like read
it over and over. Don FEDERICO, a law
YER who now lives in Madrid, says
there is not another book like it, so full
of politics and everything ION the

Of the buildings which now cover the
site. This is one of the facts
which indicate the determination of
France to excel the world. Never be-
fore has an immense section OF a city's
heart been torn to pieces in an effort
to provide room for an attraction OF
sufficient magnitude to make this busy
world pause and wonder. While all
the details of the architecture have not
yet been worked out, it is certain that
the Palace of the Trocadero, which
was utilized both for the expositions OF
1878 and 1889, will be used, as we'll as
several of the great exposition halls of
1889 in the Champs de Mars, although
there will be changes In all of them.
On the site of the Palace OF Industry,
in which the exposition of 1855 was
held, will rise a splendid structure to
be used as the fine arts hall of the ex-
positione universale. Just west of this
location, and on the same side of the
Champs Elysees, the ground has been
broken for the hall of liberal arts,
which is to be a permanent edifice. A
broad avenue will extend between these
two buildings, from the Champs Ely
sees to the Seine. At it's meeting place
with the river the stream will be
spanned by stately bridge, which will
be known as the Alexander bridge, for
the present emperor laid the corner
stone of the foundations thereof on his
recent visit to Paris. 1t is promised
that this bridge will not only be re-
markable for its strength, but equally
notable for its architectural beauty.
This bridge, too, will connect the
Champs Elysees and the Esplanade des
1nvalides. Thus it can be fairly said,
and for the first time, that the work
OF constructing the exposition has been
begun. The plans are revised as stat
ed. The key note Of it all, however,
is the determination of France to ex-
eel everything in the way of EXPOSE
tons that the other nations of the
earth have accomplished. 1t is her
purpose to spare neither time nor mon

the bush soul is the animal part of
