CROSSING THE EAST RIVER

Builders have been extremely busy in the
Borough Of Brooklyn in 1897 and 1898. The
broad stretches between Greenwood Cemetery
and Prospect Park and the thicEly populated
regions Of Williamsburg on the one side and the
southern waterfront Of Long Island on the
other have been scenes Of n great deal Of ac-
tivlty. The trolley lines have been pushed with
much energy. and the arrangements for travel
on the elevated structures which have their
terminals on either side Of the East River have
been so developed that the real estate investors
and spectators alike have felt encouraged TO
construct surprising number OF new homes In
the region which had been sparsely settled until
a recent date. 4 few summers ago travellers to
Coney Island were often provoked to laughter
by seeing the immensely long rows Of gas jets
which served to light cornnclds potato patches
and thousands Of acres Of land used for farms.
but deserted and unmatched at night Thrifty
public officials in that part Of Long Island
entered into profitable relations with the gas
companies long before the building mp Of Kings
County outside Of Brooklyn City itself justified
any such expenditure. The taxpayers IN Kings
County were heavily burdencd for n series Of
melancholy years because the gas companies re-
ceved so much money for gas furnished in I'M
nSPn lanes anu CDNpf'HS anu III i'"'N"s
which had never been accepted for public travel.
IT was IN odd sight. the enormously long rows
of brightly burning gas Jets, where no human
being was seen q; night except on the railroads,
which in no way needed this gas. vast quantl-
ties OF which were consumed at the expense OF
taxpayers. But in these days the gas is becom-
ing useful.

means have been constructed by hundreds and
by thousands on the plains between Shccpshead

iamsbnrg. 1t is pity that over many parts Of
this region these small homes have been set so
narrowly that any degree Of privacy on the part
OF the occupants IS almost impossible; but even
# these unnssuming structures nre clustered too
thickly. they are more comfortable and pleasant
places TO live in than the tcncments in the over
crowded eastern district Of Manhattan Island.

ropldly in its hosts Of houses. and the mutitudes

ARP in Atlanta Constitution.
For ten years or more the word
'dude" has been applied contemptuous-
ly to young men or old who think about
their personal appearance and dress ac-
cording to the prevailing style. The
humorous papers have worked the dude
for all there was in him, until the read
ers have learned 70 sigh and skip the a.
legged jokes about the well-dressed man.
Just now the world takes on a. new as
pect however, and it may be well to
consider the dude in 4 new light. AL.
miral Dewey has always been neat and
careful about his appearance. He was
known as the dude Of the navy when a
young man, and his regard for his per.
sonal appearance was nearly as marked
as his ability in dancing; and he was
known as the best dancer in the navy.
Lieutenant Richmond P. Hobson, the
hero of the Merrimac, was rated dude
when at Annapolis. He dressed well,
and he thought Of his personal appear.

ago. Ensign Bagley, whose loss the
North and the South alike mourn, was
well-dressed man. The fact that he

denas. Commander Brownson, OF the
Yankee, is one Of the best-groomed men
in the country; yet there seems to be
no piece of daring too great for that In.
trepid man to undertake. Latest-not
last, because the war is not yet over.
the case Of Hamilton Fish, Jr., ser.
geant in Woods regiment of rough rid
ers, may be considered. This young
man, whose social position in New
York was second to none, who had all
that wealth and position could give
him, was Fifth avenue man in dress
and love of good clothes. He was never
out Of fashion, and he probably spent
many hours Of his life in the metropolis
considering the cut of his clothing and
what ties he should wear. Yet when
the moment came he rose to it like the
true American he was and through a
hell Of leaden missiles led his men
against hidden foe. He fell far In ad-
vance Of his own troop, because his
eagerness to fight for his country and
his flag led him there. These are but
few instances Of what the American
addressed man has done in the pres
ent war. All heroes are not lovers of
dress, and all wen-dressed men may
not have the opportunity to prove them
selves heroes. But one thing is certain:
the humorist had best lay his "dude"
joke carefully away at the bottom of
the barrel, for 1t is decidedly out OF
place now. If Dewey, Hobson, Bagley,
Brownson and Fish are samples Of the
American dude. God send the country

make competent and reliable juror
in any case, and would render a just
verdict without fear or favor. If any
whitewashing is to be done, he will
expose it and the nation will hear of it.
We see that some of the New York
papers are very funny over that negro
wench kissing business that was per-
petrated in Virginia by northern
troops in passing through. One paper
says they took the colored wenches by
surprise and kissed and Rugged them
ad libitum, and it seemed to be mutu-
ally agreeable. They did the same
thing here at Gainesville, but tbs
number of wenches near the cars was
very limited. Not more than half a
dozen received the oscillations and
embraces Of their northern friends.
Well, as Mr.. Lincoln once said
about the high kicking Of the ballet
girls, 81 reckon that those folks who
like that sort Of a thing find it to be
the very thing they 10 like" Those
are the kind of soldiers who ought to
be sent to Cuba and Porto Rico. For
there are 100000 darkies in Cuba and
100000 in Porto Rico, and they have
amalgamated with coolies and Indians
and Spaniards so long that their wives
will be open to receive new lovers. A
writer in The New York Press says
these islands will be an Eldorado for
our southern negroes, and predicts
that within year after peace and
quiet is established not less than
100000 of our southern negroes
will migrate and settle there where
they can do nothing but
Eat molasses candy
Aud swing upon the gates.
Well, we can spare about that many,
but I predict that the exodus will not
come to pass. The typical southern
negro won't 90 anywhere. He had
rather stay here and be lynched OF 60 to
the changing than go north to the yam
KEGS or to Africa with Bishop Turner.
The good negroes around this part OF
the country who have families are con-
tent, and those who have homes around
Gainesville wouldn't sell them to any
body. They are curious people.
They don't like their northern friends,
but will vote with them and for them
at every election. They claim General
Grant as their deliverer, and you can't
make one of them believe that Grant
was slave owner up to the very day
Of Lincoln's proclamation of freedom.
But still we can hardly do without
them, and I had rather have Uncle
Sam and his wife, Aunt Ann, and
their children to work and cook
and wash for my family than to take
my chances with white servants
from the north. And so we are not
worrying over the negro problem Let
it work out it's own solution. -B1LL
