Commissioners Wight Recommends
Several Important Changes.
In z letter TO his associates yesterday.
Commissioner Wight recommended certain
changes In the police regulations governing
public vehicles. 1t is now impossible, Mr
Wight states, to fasten the required card
rate Of Sx10 inches on the inside Of a hack
SO that the regulations regarding cards are
practically void. He suggests that. as the
folders now in use by number Of public
vehicle companies answer the purpose read
iiy and are better than the card, they be
supplied in this city, the folders TO be
printed and furnished the cabmen at the
exact cost of their production. Mr. Wight
writes that he has also noticed that It is
difficult 10 see the numbers Of the cabs as
they are now placed, and suggests that
every hack shall have the number of the
license printed in plain letter on the lamp.

Some time ago Commissioner Wight rec
commended the adyisabiityo of making certain

mates were presented to Mr. Wight yes
terday, and amount to 50, ,720 The Com

necessary TO carry out his ideas, bur he has
recommended that an item Of $25, 600 be in
cluded in the estimates TO be used for the
Improvement Of this place. He states that
II is very necessary that the Improvement
should be made, and he knows OF no cheaper
OF better way of doing il.

I'D hate to pay that woman's dentist
bills" said business man to friend
on South side l. train the other day.
Across the aisle from the man was a
woman who showed enough golu every
time she opened her mouth to make
a man want to leave home and try his
fortunes in the Klondike. Two of her
upper teeth had been replaced by pieces
of FURNISHED metal, and one of her low
er teeth also had % carat sheen about
it. Her companion had only one gold
tooth. but she kept it doing the work
of three by a constant smile, says q
Chicago paper.
"rhat'S another case of the old ntage,
All that glitters is not gold, said the
business mans friend. "One, of the
latest dental novelties makes gold teeth
possible to anyone at a small cost and
without even sacrificing a healthy in
cisor to make room for the metal. For
quarter you can get a shell that can
be stuck over any front tooth and with
an excuse to smile you can present a
regular gold mine to the astonished
public. Actresses first affected the
god tooth, and then the Yankee man
got an idea. In q short time there was
an epidemic OF gold teeth. The novelty
man came out with his plated shells md
sold them like hot cakes. no one but
the dentist has any kick against the
imitation gold tooth. and as u dazZler

may be the real stuff. but believe she
can slip them off when she wants to
and get them plated when they get

MORAL DRIFTING.

Don't drift into bad compan.
ionships. A man is made or
marred by his friends. AS fish take
on the nothing of the ground on
which they lie, and as butterflies
resemble the flowers over which
they hover, so do we become like
those whom we choose as our
companions. Don't drift into
familiarity with any man until
you are sure of his character.
Beware of the man who talks
slightingly of father, mother,
home or of women generally. Be-
ware of the man who processes
himself too deeply versed in the
science of the day to believe in
the Bible and laughs at those who
do. True wisdom is not destruc-
tive but constructive. A man has
no more right to steal away or
spoil your faith, than he has to
deprive you of your eyesight or
rob you of your purse; and if he
attempts it he betrays a dangerous
character. Beware of him.
Don't drift into habits of i'm
purity. In us all there are appe-
titles and desires which are beau
tiful and innocent enough when
kept in their right place; but
when they are very reluctant to
be kept there, and are chatting to
ascend the throne of the being and
assume the mastership of the life,
beware of the drifting into secret
sins witnessed by no eye but
Gods. Beware of the society of
those who are familiar with the
ways of darkness and impurity.
Never go to a place which you
could not take your mother or
your sister. 1t is not necessary
to yield to temptation. Exert
your will power. Best of all. ac-
cept the life, power and purity of
Christ, which you may claim and
use in the moments of need.

NEGRO EDUCATION.

State School Superintendent
Glenn's plan is this: Instead OF
the kind of education negroes are
now getting they should be given
instruction in manual training.
The money appropriated for their
schools should be used in prepar-
ing them for some useful trade or
occupation. If, for instance, the
negro boys were taught something
about agriculture the chances are
that quite a percentage of them
would become successful farmers.
The negroes make very good me-
chanics when properly taught, and
they might even be given a train
ing that would make them much
more valuable servants than they
are.
One of the great needs of the
negro race is training schools for
the girls. There is a very great
and growing need for competent
servant girls. The negro girls now
a-days who get little learning at
the public schools are not fitted
for any kind of employment.
They don't know how to cook or
sew or to do general house work.
Their inclination is to do no work
at all. The money they get goes
for clothes, and their delight is to
spend their time in the streets.
Ii there were training schools in
which they could be taught to be
cooks, dressmakers, nurses and to
do general housework they would,
IN little time, be hundred
times better off than they are now.
One thing that Superintendent
Glenn says ought to arrest atten-
ton. 1t is that the property that
is held by negroes has been ac-
cumulated mainly by the older
negroes, those who received their
training in the days of slavery.
The inference to be drawn from
this statement is that the negroes
that have come to manhood and
womanhood since the war of seces-
sion are inferior as citizens to
those who received their training
in ante-bellum times. Assuming
that this is the case, the conclu-
sion is that the negro is retrograd-
ing. A generation hence he will
be worse off than he is at present.
and will be a burden on the COM
munity instead of a worker.
