for five, ten and fifteen cents several were former milllonaires, several for mer members of the State legislature, a number were former ministers, law yers physicians. young students. Num- bers were workingmen salesmen, can- vassers, men who are earning from $5 to $10 week, men from other countries who go directly to the Mills hotels Up 1n reaching New York One, Japanese, went direct from Tokio to the Mills ho- tel No. i, and had intended to go there. Numbers who are in the city seeking work go to the Mills hotels, as do small country merchants who have been ena- bled to go to New York markets for their goods by reason of the inexpensive lodging.
 MT. Mills did not expect to make mon- ey on the hotels, and would have been satisfied if they proved to be barely sustaining. The places earned BE per cent the first year, and what they now earn MT.

THE .ASSUMPTIONISTS.

The prosecution of the Assumptionist fathers in France has attracted great deal of attention on the European con- tinent, especially in Austria, where the priest in politics is a very prominent figure. The Vaterland, the clerical or- gan, accuses the French Freemasons and Socialists of promoting policy in France of which the ultimate aim is the annihilation of the Catholic Church. At the same time it gives some facts concerning the Assumptionists which show that they are seeking to extend their influence in the East as we'll as in the West. Although comparatively new order, it is one of the most flourish in 1851 by Father Alyon, it has already eleven houses in France, two of which are in Paris. It has establishments in Constantinople, Thrace, and on the coast of Asia Minor, a vast esta blish-
 
 lem, another at Rome, besides missions in the United States and Chilli. The Assumptionists are displaying great zeal in the East with view of bring ing about a union of the Greek and Catholic churches. They organized the annual French pilgrimages of penitents to Palestine. The widely circulated and rigidly sectarian newspaper, the Croix, as is well known, is in their hands. The Vaterland thinks that the perse- cution of the Assumptionists appears all the more extraordinary as they are doing more than anybody else to and extend French influence in the East It holds that the French government bill on the right of asso- citation will make all religious commit I mites impossible.

-------------------- ----------------- BAD ETON PENM A NSHTP

In the current number of "The Eton
 College Chronicle a sprightly article is
 devoted to the question of "Handwri-
 ting" It appears that Eton boys are
 notorious for their bad and illegible cal ligraphy, and generally remain so for the rest of their lives The writer thinks this may be attributed to the art
 being neglected when they first join the school, but also naively suggests that another cause may be the setting of im- positions. A third cause is suggested in the frequency of the trials" and in ex- animation the boy tries to cover as much ground as possible with his pen, not caring much as to whether it can be read or not. Indeed, possibly a boy may think 1t very useful to confuse the examiner as to whether he has written an 'a" CT an "o," and an undotted "i" sometimes serves a useful purpose in looking like 'u." At any rate, the ex-. aminee might get the benefit of the doubt. As a remedy it is suggested that Eton should again appoint writing master, or else the tutor, the kindly mother of us all," should undertake the duty of teaching how to hold the pen. has always been the Cin- derella of the arts. When Wolfe said he would rather have written that poem than take Quebec" he did not re- fer to the pothook and hanger part of the business. After all, bad handwri- ting is generally delight to look at so long as one is not asked to decipher it. London News.

He was yet little more than lad
 when he joined with Seth Low, the still
 youthful president of Columbia college, in organizing the famous Young Repub-
 lican club. At that time perhaps the most serious problem before the country
 was the question of government in great cities as it touched the question of manhood suffrage. The Tammany Tweed infamies had put blot on American institutions. Some of the doctrinaires talked of limiting the suf- frage, and the talk was echoed by men few of whom had made mark in public life.i Low and Woodruff and their young associates were passionate ly opposed to the idea. They said the fault was with the self-supporting members of the community who neg lected their political duties and left pub lie affairs in the hands of professional politicians. More than that, they proved it. They organized the Young Republican club The outcome was the election of Low as mayor of Brooklyn and the establishment of system of municipal government under new charter, the provisions of which were copied all over tho civilized world. Woodruff was more partisan than Low.
 He showed that in the Blaine year, when he won the club of which both were founders over to the brilliant Maine statesman.
 New York state will be found solidly behind the lteutenant-governor It has had taste of his quality and can tell the republicans of the country why he should be honored by his fellow parti- sans and by the people at large. He is in public life a constant quantity. His republioanism was born in him and the patriotic fire of it burns always in his soul brightly. He never held himself better than his party and he does not believe any man is. His party's plat form for him means what it says. He does not sa one thing before election and another thing after the votes are counted. Twice he was candidate be- fore the people of his state and twice he was elected triumphantly Tn New York and in the neighboring states of Connecticut and New Jersey he would add strength to any ticket, even tick ct headed by William Mckinley, and if there is anywhere greater evidence to be found of public mans popularity it is not accessible to the people of

LEGITIMATE.

The expected meeting of the commit tee appointed by the Court of Common Council to investigate the system of supervisors in the public schools of New Haven didn't pan out last night And it is cheering to be able to say that the reason why it didn't was a legitimate one. Four of the six mem bers of the committee are members of the Committee on Estimates, which had to be extremely busy last evening in order to get it's report ready for the meeting of the Board of Aldermen to- night. When there will be another meeting doth not now appear. When there is one we hope it will be well at" tended polite and informing.

LARGE REspoNs1BIL1rY

The Corporation Counsel is very clearly of the opinion that the Court of Common Council has no power to change, alter or regulate in any way the appropriation made by the Board of Finance for the Department of Edu- cation. Neither has the Court of Com mon Council, in his opinion, any right to decrease or increase or change in any way the tax levied for school pur- poses by the Board of Finance.
 If this opinion isn't upset in any way the situation will be much simplified. But no situation can exist in which it will not be right and wise to let the taxpayers have full knowledge of how their money is to be used. If the Board of Finance is to have the final say about money for the Board of Education it will be the duty of the Board of Finance to let the people know what is going on while it is going on.

For this true nobleness seek in vain. In woman and in man find it not I almost weary of my earthly lot My lifesprlngs are dried up with burning
 pain. Thou fndst it not? pray thee look agais. Look inward, through the depths of thine
 own soul How is It with thee? Art thou sound aud
 whole? Doth narrow search show thee no earthly
 stain? Be nobe and the nobleness that lies In other men, sleeping, but never dead. Will rise in majesty to meet thine own; Then wilt thou see 1t gleam in many eyes, Then will pure light around thy path be
 slled And thou wilt nevermore be sad and lone.

THE NEJV CHA RTER.

The new charter is becoming decided ly interesting. It evidently has things in it that few have suspected were there, and it has some things in it that even it's makers didn't know were there. It is like the Bible in one respect, and that is you can find almost anything in It. It will be some time before it is fully interpreted, if it ever is. Mean while it will be interesting to see the struggles to make it fit situations and to make situations fit it.

the short fitted bands that pass about
 the bust and give form to some of the
 long cloaks so much in vogue.
 Empire fashions make headway slow ly, but so surely as to indicate q general return of them. Among the new long cloaks are many modeled along empire lines, and in morning gowns these styles have secured good hold. Here is one that was to be recommended for suita- bility and appearance, and there are so many of it's general kind that it Is small wonder women take up with them. now it is hinted that they will pass the fash ionable test This was Nile green silk crepe figured with pale yellow flowers. It hung loosely from a shocked yoke of corn colored satin. This was outlined with a ruffle of cream lace that was ex- tended to cover the side fastening It's sleeves matched the yoke. So long as the empire styles keep to their present trend there will be no danger of moth- CT hubbard atrocities so they may be welcomed.
 A flower seems suitable addition to the headdress, no matter what the wearer's age, and the fancy is a pretty one. The seventeen-year-o in simple frock looks adorably young with a rose caught in her locks where they are drawn together at the top of the head, and there is something dignified and suitable in the full blown rose with leaf or so that is fastened in the low coil of the older woman and lies against her neck Then grandmamma, tidily gowned and with rose tucked under the edge of her lace cap just below the temple among the soft gray hairs, seems to follow the pretty notion most suitably of alI FLORETTE.

Buckles are still feature of jewelry, and are offered in artistic combinations of steel turquoise, moonstone, coral jade, copper, gun metal, and so on, that are as inexpensive as the filagree of brass and glass used to be.

A new kind of mountain railroad has been devised in Germany It consists of an electrically worked rope railroad, the railroad being in sections, the cars being suspended on rollers. As it is not considered safe to allow greater distance than 4OOO feet between the supports, intermediate stations are nec- essary. the passengers changing from the first to the second section and so on until the journey is completed. About seven minutes are occupied in travers- ing each of the 4,O00 feet sections.

The antitrust bill which has been in- troduced in the Virginia legislature is drafted under the model of the Texas law. and makes every person or corpor- ation entering into or having any con- nection with any pool or combination to control the price of any commodity guilty of attempt to defraud, and all amalgamations and consultations, however effected designed to create trust or monopoly or to fix prices, are declared unlawful. The sale of manu- factured articles below the cost of pro- duction for the purpose of creating mo- nopolies is also made a violation of the law. The penalty imposed is a fine of from $2OO to $5,OOO day during the con- tinuance of the offense. Corporations violating the law forfeit the right to do business in the State. Articles produc- ed by trusts are made contraband of commerce in Virginia.

One evidence of the prosperity there is in this country is the money orders payable in foreign countries that are going out by the steamers carrying the Christmas mails The postofice au- thorities calculate that this money will amount to nearly three million dollars. A quarter of million dollars, in the form of these small postal orders, was taken out by single steamer sailing from New York on Saturday. Of this amount s124,9O1 went to Great Britain, and a large proportion of it to Ireland; $50,083 to Germany $4052.29 to switzer- land, $5,912.9S to Denmark, $766.29 to Holland, $14,234.9s to Italy, $13714S4 to Norway, $40, ,6O6.O4 to Sweden, $11, ,s535s to Austria, and $4,997.15 to Hungary The great bulk of the money is sent by servants and people of small means.

A French bicycle-maker has made the following ingenious appeal to the French public in the shape of quarter page advertisement in the columns of prominent Paris cycling paper: "The Americans are buffers (French version: t'Bluffeurs'). Everybody knows that. Their factories are all run on colossal scale and their production is in propor- tion. But their conceit is likewise. Oth- CT countries do not count with them. Where is France going to come in? They have combined with their friends, the English, to ruin our industry and impose their manufactures upon us They have come here in order to ascer- tain the Frenchman's good taste, copy 1t carefully at home, and then exclude our products by levying a prohibitive tariff of 35 per cent. upon them, where as we good-naturedly admit their bicy- cles at 35 francs each. Patronize home industry and ride -'s chainless wheels! Send the Americans back to America! To Chicago with the foreign ers!''

The Rev. pr. l.. c. Broughton of At lanta, Georgia, who recently preached in the Hanson Place Baptist church, Brooklyn, having heard that some of his hearers thought his preaching too harsh has made the following mild re ply to the criticism: T have no doubt the new religion is more acceptable to many New Workers and Bostonians than the old. The suggestion that Bos- ton has substituted sheol for the ortho- dox place may furnish comfortable food for infidels, Unitarians, Universal ists and higher critics, but it is enough to know that the majority of those teaching along the line of Bible criti- cism and unbelief will find their way to everlasting fire.
