ganization in his town had asked for the
passage of such a measure. He thought
It important to the cities to have good
roads leading into them.
City Attorney Bird Of Topeka said
such a measure would be unjust to the
cities because the country is not asked
TO help improve city streets.
Councilman Arch Davenport of Fort
Scott said it would be a good plan to
provide for improving some streets in
cities.
A reform in the parking laws will be
asked from the legislature. Councilman
J. P. Bausserman of LeavenwOrth sub
n1itted a plan to provide that the city
council of any city may declare it nee
essary to pave any street without a
petition from the abutting property
owners being received.
The bill will be so framed that the
property owners may defeat the pave
ment if majority of them sign a re-
monstPace. The bill viii stimulate paw
ing if it becomes a law because it en-
ables the council to take the prelimina-
~ steps instead of the property own
ers.
The measure was endorsed without
discussion.
The street sprinkling problem may be
solved by the municipal league.
Councilman Guthrie of Wichita sub
mitted a measure which will empower
the city council to order any street
spFinkled and charge the cost to the
property owners along the street.
Sprinkling in Kansas cities is now
done in a haphazard way under the
direction OF the property owners.
The following officers were elected:
President-Mayor R L. Marshman of
secretary&City Clerk F. E. Yeager
of Kansas City.
Treasurer-S. McFadden Of Topeka.
Kansas City was chosen as the place
of meeting for next year.
The legislative committee to draft the
bills to be introduced in the legislature
embodying the recommendations of the
league is composed of the city attorneys
of cities of the frst-class and City
Clerk NcFadden of Topeka.

SCANDALS OF SHOPPING.
Mrs. HenrOtin FOrmuIates Rules for
Women at Christmas Thine.

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-Mrs. Ellen NJ Hen
rotin, who was elected president of the IIli-
nois Consumers League, has sent out
communication on what she calls 1.-THE
scandal of Christmas shopping" This let
ter was addressed to all the clergymen in
Chicago. with the request that it be read
from their pulpits tomorrow morning. 1t
was also sent to all the presidents of wom-
ems clubs in the city. In this communica-
ton five simple rules are recommended,
which, If faithfully observed by the feminine
shopper, will lessen the labor of employees
in tho stores, whether men, women or chill
dren. These rules are:
I. Shop early in the day.
=. Shop with a carefully classified list.
3. Do no unnecessary shopping before
Christmas.
4. 10 not ask to have goods delivered the
same day.
5. Refuse to receive goods delivered after
o'clock at night.
IN my economic Investigations for the
government" said Mrs. Henrotin yesterday
afternoon, Il discovered distinct trend
among women to form cooperative associa-
tions. The position of women in the indus
trial world resolves itself more and more
into chat Of the consumer, and her educa-
ton should be based on a thorough knowl-
edge of social economics. Having this in
view l identified myself with the Illinois
Consumers League. The action of this
league in sending a letter to Chicago clergy
men is for the purpose of calling attention
10 the scandal of shopping entailng as il
does untold hardshin on eTnpIoyer and en-
ploye. both of whom must minister to the
demands of the consumer. As the consumer
IS usually woman, she is expected to
profit, particularly at this Christmas time,
by the rules set forth by the league"

Vester NJ. Runyon, of this city. who was
one Of the party that accompanied Col
Charles w. Williams to Havana several
months ago, returned home yesterday. Mr..
Runyon and Peter Martin, of this city were
the only two, out of the five that went, who
were not attacked with yellow fever. Two
OF them, Col. Charles W. Williams and Tay-
Tor b. Stuart, died from the disease, and
Jesse b. Caldwell had a narrow escape, his
life being despaired of for several weeks.
In speaking of Havana Mr.. Runyon said
that he would not have the island as a
present If the condition was that he live in
Havana an hour
Deaths are so frequent" said Mr.. Run
yon, that people pay little or no attention
to them, and hundreds of people die on the
streets from breathing the impure and dis
ease-breeding air." He said that the vul-
lures that feed on the dead bodies become
so tame and bold that one has to kick them
out of his path. Mr. Runyon further says
that any backyard in the United States
would be cleaner than the principal streets
in Havana. All three of the men who have
returned speak in the same way and are
thoroughly Disguised with the place.

G. Meyrick, in North American Review.
The behavior of people in crowds would
make an interesting study of itself In an
ordinary crowd the majority are apt to be
unacquainted with any formal etiquette
and the rest seem to forget all they ever
knew; only those who are possessed of nate
ural politeness and unfailing good nature
are saved from becoming savages under
such circumstances. OF course it is un-
pleasant for people of refined nature to be
brought into very close contact with the
ruder populace, and il very frequently hap
pens that the very ones who have had most
training in courtesy are the most disagree
able when in the midst of a crowd. Tho
nerves of the common people are less easily
disturbed, and the physical discomfortss
common to crowds are not greater than
they are accustomed to in ordinary daily
life. Unless you can be sure of bearings
yourself with courtesy and good humors
you should avoid crowds for your OWN
sake as we'll as out of consideration for
others. If, from choice or necessity, you
flock with birds that are not all Of your
own fine feather, your aim should be to re-
spect the rights of others, without relin-
gushing your own. You are not a door
mat to allow yourself to be trampled upon
without remonstrance; nor yet a cur. TO
snarl and snap at those who, perhaps
through no fault of their own. encroach
upon you too closely. Even in the highest
circles people are apt to lose their heads. to
say nothing of their hearts. when massed
in large numbers, as witness the trays that
are reported to take place among the fair
"gentlewomen'' who attend the Queens
drawing room.
