BOOTBLACK SUPPLIES.
A New Business that Has Grown
Up to Fill Modern Wants.

"A business that has sprung up In New
York in recent years is that of boot
black supplies 1t owes its origin to
the growth OF the city, the multiploa-
ton of bootblack stands, and the intro
duction and extensive use or oolored
shoes. There are now a number OF con-
Germs, small but complete establish
ments, devoted to this business, that
supply everything a bootblack requires
and his requirements are greater than
they formerly were.
At one place there are kept on hand
sixty-five varieties of shoe blacking or
polish for shoes OF all kinds and colors,
including blackings and polishes in
boxes and bottles. and imported black
ings as we'll as domestic. and water
proof blackings and oil. There are sold
here cans for oil and for water; black
ing pans. the small round pans made to
hold n larger quantity Of blacking than
would be contained in a backing box /:
brushes of all kinds, including daubers,
dust brushes. and blacking brushes.
whIsk brooms and shoestrings OF var
ious kinds and colors.
Some of these establishments send
out supply wagons. which regularly
make the rounds OF their customers at
bootblacking stands all over the city
and supply their wants, whatever they
may be, on the spot.

ANOTHER BLOW FOR THE STATE

The Pirlot case and that OF the faith

They differ in this respect: Pirlot being

tices act Is n good law, and he would
not seek TO evade IL. All he asks Is the
authority to practice his profession In

authority, which is his undoubted right.

LEARNING HOW TO SECURE a
SURRENDER.

oONNL-NDEN.
IT IS safe TO say that the next time
an American commander lays his
strong hand on the spaniard there will
be no such irritating, not to say
humillating. fuss about the final act of
throttling him. as marked the surren-
der OF Santiago.
When the straightforward and honest
American soldier, trained TO fight and
not to talk, runs up against a Spanish
warrior with the blood of many genera
tions OF palaverers i'm his veins, he is
bound to be good deal fretted. shafter
half thrashed Linares and then bottled
him up all ready to complete the job
Whereupon Linares expressed a dis
position to quit. and the ingenious
American soldier ceased firing his guns
and the battle OF talk began.
1t was on July that Shafter de-
manded the surrender OF Santiago--just
two weeks ago Sunday. An armistice
was arranged, which, like picnic post
poned on account of the weather to the
next fair day." was extended from
day to day TO Sunday, the 10th. when
Linares, having had a week to spar for
wind. refused unconditional surrender.
Then the fleet bombarded the city, and
on Monday, the 11th, another demand
for surrender was sent. Another ar
mistice was begun, with General Toral
in command of the chin supplies, of
which there is never famine in
Spanish camp. This. too. was extended
from day to day until last Thursday
the 18th. when Toral acquiesced in un-
conditional surrender.
But this by no means gave the
American army possession OF the city.
To the Spanish mind unconditional
surrender" meant, OF course, a sur
render with no end of terms and con-
dItions. A commission was appointed
TO consider what should be the terms
Of an unconditional surrender! The
Spanish commander had to go to Ha-
vana for his authority and Havana had
to refer to Madrid. No wonder Shafter
has been restless, the government rest
less. and the whole American people
pretty mad at the fooling that went on
from Thursday last until Sunday morn
ing. And now that the surrender is
actually accomplished. the government
finds that the American commissioners
recommend that the arms of the Span
iards be returned TO them!
The next time the Spaniard wants an,
armistice he is likely to find the Ameri-
can less amiable, we take 1t.
Otherwise the victory of Santiago is
most gratifying. 1t is q triumph of
amazing proportions. Within less than
a month from the landing OF the invad-
ing army q stronghold. defended for
many outlying miles by n force of
trained soldiers as strong as our own,
lighting in their own country. has been
with small sacrifice: the
Stars and Stripes flying over Santiago
signalizing triumph without precedent
IN the history of siege operations. Con-
sidered as a whole. the work Of our
army and navy in the taking of San
Iiago is brilliant beyond comparison.

who, after years OF lobbying, secured
the passage OF the law. slipped up 10
just that extent. In both the Pirlot
case and that OF the faith healers the
spy and spotter were the discreditable
instruments of law and justice invoked
by the boerd of health to secure their
evidence. and IL is plain enough that
law that requires recourse TO such
means for attempting it's enforcement
is a mighty poor law on the face OF II
and should never find a place In the
Rhode Island statutes.
Judge Bosworth is entitled TO con-
gratulations and public applause for
the manner of rendering the decision In
the case of the Scientists and meta
physicians. 1t is indeed most refresh
ing TO be Informed In precise legal LAM
guage that the object of the medical
practices act is not for the purpose of
compelling persons suffering from dis
ease to resort to remedies. but 1t is
designed to secure to those who desire
remedies competent physicians to pre-
pare and administer them. or course
the faith healers, not believing in hu-
man remedies, had no need of technical
knowledge, testified to by the state
board OF health. as TO preparing and
administering them. They prayed for
the spoilers who applied TO them for
relief-prayed for their pretended mala-
rial bodies and for their surely malarial
souls. They are at liberty to keep on
praying. The marvel Is not at the
courts decision, but that anybody
should have dreamed that In Rhode
Island laws should exist to compel
man or woman to stop praying for any
cause whatsoever-even for so obvious
ly hopeless a case as the malarial soul
of a board OF health spotter.
And it is no unseemly anticipation
of the judgment of our court to express
the belief that IL the Pirlot demand for
the right of registration Is ever brought
before 1t the board of health will find
itself again Inundated.
