come Feature fer Decrepid
Dependents.

Warden Harris. of the Jail, is not going
to give his charges anything extra Christ
mas Day. They can have anything that
is brought in 10 them by their friends,
the warden says but he does not think
that il would be right for him to take the
money appropriated by the United States
Government for the care and mainte
nance of the Jail and the prisoners and
buy them turkey and such delicacies. The
regular Sunday religious services will be
held although ii is probable that they
wiz be on more elaborate scale than is
ordinarily the case
Supt. Stoughtenburg, of the Washing
ton Asylum intends TO treat the inmates
of the various Institutions under his con-
troll in a liberal manner. The almshouse
will probably fare the best of any of
these. y regular Christmas feast will be
prepared for The Districts papuers, in
Guiding turkey, celery and vegetables
grown on the farm during the summer.
The old men will also be provided with
pipes and tobacco as has been the custom
ever since the present intendants first
year in the position, and ii is probabl
that the women will also receive some
fitting remembrance.
Each year the attendants at the diff
ferent houses included in the asylum
make some little present TO the old peo-
pie who have lived there until they have
become fixtures.
The only other institution on the
grounds is the workhouse, but here the
celebration is somewhat modified. An
elaborate dinner will be served TO the
persons serving time in that institution
and they will be allowed to accept any
thing that their friends bring them, but
there will be no tobacco given out, nor
Will there be any holiday from the regu-
lar work of the institution The day be-
ing Sunday there will, of course, be a
cessation from the labors OF the week
but nothing else Will show that Christ
mas is different from any other Sunday
Miss Van Doran will conduct religious
services at the almshouse at 8 o'clock in
the afternoon, and special music has
been provided for the occasion

The street cars here are all horse cars
and are drawn by three very small and
very poor horses One is hitched in front
of the other two. The cars are old and
very light Each has a conductor and
driver, who seem very leisurely. Look

sengers appear TO be few. The fare is
5 cents. There are not many lines. Travel
about town is nearly all done in cabs, in
which a passenger may ride any reason

might be called suburban line, running
six or seven miles to the west. The cars
on that line are drawn by little coal en-
gines. The civil engineer sened to have

Strictly speaking, he is not a news

authorities in Paris do not approve of
the street arab in business capacity
and in consequence the streets are not
filled with that aggressive pest AS he
is debarred from that means of making
a livelihood he has to seek others, and
the result is not always to the advant-
age Of the community.

If you please street about half the

policemen are sufficient to keep order

almost impossible; dense crowd blocks
, up the narrow footways. and the whole
of the road. Every one talks at the top
of his voice, and the guardians of the
peace stroll to and fro in pairs, good
humoredly chatting with those whom
they recognize. Many of the crowd oc-

Bogus Oysters,

The municipal authorities of Paris
are just now engaged in the suppress
sion of an altogether novel form OF
food adulteration which is assuming
phenomenal proportions. Real oysters
are expensive in Paris, and SO, with
the object of suiting slender purses, ar
tificial oysters on the half shell have
been invented, which are sold at twen-
ty cents dozen, and they are so clev-
erly made and look so nice and fresh
that, once lemon Juice or vinegar has
been added, they can not be distin-
guished from the real article, especial
ly when white wine Is taken in con4ec.
tion Herewith. The only genuine
thing about these oysters is the shell,
the manufacturers buying secondhand
shells at small cost, and fastening the
spurious oyster in place with taste
less paste. The municipal laboratory
has not yet proclaimed the Ingredients
of which these bogus oysters are COM
posed, but has announced that they
are of harmful character.

Senator Finck
Works in the Interests of the Miners
in His Advocacy of the Screen Bill.
The Bill Passes the Senate and is Now
Law.

On last Wednesday morning The
Screen Bill, requiring the weighing
of coal before screening it, and
which had passed the House came
up FOR discussion and final action
in the Senate.
The operators of Ohio, of whom
Senator Crundle of Jackson is one,
and who represented them on the
floor Of the senate, bitterly opposed
the measure, and fought it in com
mittee and on the floor of the Sen
ate. And, Senator Crdndle in his
desperation, and TO force y defeat
Of the measure, made a speech of
o e hours length, in which he bit
terly attacked the miners, saying
the bill was an Infamous measure,
and was conceived in iniquity, and
that only "the drunken miners of
Ohio were in favor Of it," He also
declared that the miners were well
paid, making plenty Of money, and
were happy and contented.
Senator Finck who had under
taken to champion the bill in the
Senate, and in whose care the bill
had been placed, replied to Senator
Craudle in a wonderful argument
of matchleS5 elOquence and convic-
ton. lie charged the Senator
from Jackson with having made
statements rejecting upon the
miners, andrwhat he knew to be
cruel, unjust, malicious and pre-
meGitated fal5ehoods and slander.
lie declared that the bill was in the
interests of the miners generally.
That it was an equitable measure;
that for so many blows of the pick
for 50 many drops of sweat each
miner was entitled by every rule
of right to be treated alike. That
organized labor all over Ohio de-
manded the passage of the bill and
that he defied the Senate to decline
10 pass the bill. Amendment after
Amendment which had been tackled
TO lhe bill to kill it was voted down
aud at the close Of Senator Finck's
magnificent argument, the hill
passed, wiki only two dissenting
votes.
Senator Finck is prouder of thi,
achievement than any thing he has
done in the Senate; and is receiving
he congratulations of his friend,
throughout the mining district.

TbeInorease of Homes.

One of the best possible facts in the
latter-day progress Of this country is
the increase in the number Of homes.
In crowded centers Of population, such
as New York, and one or two other
cities, the fiat and the hotel must al
ways be necessary, for space is too val
liable to be monopolized by the humble.
But even around the very large cities
there are being built thousands
and thousands of suburban cot
tages and country residences, and
all through the length and breadth
of the country. in the towns,
villages and cities artistic homes are In
creasing at an astonishing rate. If any
one will take the trouble to look up
the literature on the subject he will
find that in this country there are more
than a hundred papers devoted to these
home builders, giving them each week
plans and suggestions. The number OF
books upon low-priced architecture,
written in the past fifteen years, ex-
ceeds the total for century previous
A wider education Is being spread, and
the gain in every way Is enormous.
A man who owns his home is bet
ter citizen, even If there is mortgage
ON it. There is a feeling Of personal
partnership in the protection Of proper,
ty and the preservation of public order
which makes him stand for what IL
lest in law and government, 1t II

In the extracts above quoted, II
will be observed that the whole

near dislocating my shoulders because
of the suddenness and vigor with

hen defending her chickens. That
watch was for her niece that was going
to be married. She had raked and
scraped and skimped to buy it, and no
robbers were going to get 1t. With an
unexpected movement she had knock
ed the revolver against the roof Of the
car and was clawing at the other two
men like wild cat. They forced her
to her seat, and when the big fellow
had recovered his gun he stood laugh
ing. Keep your watch, ole girl he
said, AN here's aFlittle trinket to put
