ING DIVES OF THE WORST Description
INFLUENCES OF MGURK's PLACES
Tammany's system Of blackman and extorton
touches tho poorest and weakest people Of the
city. When the late Colonel Waring AT the
head Of the Street Cleaning Department he ap-
pointed Joseph Marcovitz little man with wife
and five children 10 for to the place Of street
sweeper. Marcovitz proved 10 be good a servant
OF the city that he promoted to the post OF
station keeper Recently he was put back 10 tho
place OF sweeper because Martin Engel. the Tam
many leader in the With District wanted the
place Of station keeper for a follower When the

Tammany protects its favorites IN keeping dives
OF the worst description. John H. McGurk a po-
Hucal crony Of State Senator T. D. Sullivan has
two dives IN the Bowery and one In Thlrd-ave

may be Judged by the fact that within a week
three young women who were regular visitors az
the places committed suicide. When asked yester-
day II the police protected McGurk because OF
Senator Suvan's influence. Chief Of Police Devery
said: NO influence OF any kind goes with me-
Inspector Cross talked to newspaper about
McGurk's places declaring that no robberies had
been reported in them. and that McGurk was "a
good fellow"

THs. Mustard Plaster.

The mustard plaster is a harmless
looking wafer, but it must be handled
with as much circumspection as q
woman. There was a newly married
man once whose wife told him to put
on mustard plaster to cure a cold. He
had faith in her, and put it ON. Then
he went to sleep, being gifted with the
power of sleeping under torments which
is not given to one man in thousand
The plaster seemed to him somewhat
unreasonably hot, but he argued that
the hotter it was the better. Besides
he had confidence in his wife. Next day
he found well developed blister on his
chest, and his wife only laughed and
said she had supposed any one would
have sense enough to take off plaster
when it hurt him. Though that was IL
months ago. the mark of the plaster is
still upon the man like brand, and he
now regards his wife's remedies with
suspicion. New York Commercial Ad-
vertiser.

The woman OF 1t.

The Philadelphia Record says: "Al-
most the first thing visitor does upon
entering the room in which the Declara-
tion Of Independence was signed is to
add his autograph to the vast collec-
tion of more than 90 years. The custo-
dian Of the book a few days ago, in
speaking of his experience, said: 'You
wouldn't believe it, but we have had
only two attempts TO mutilate the regis
ter or TO write anything in it except
names and addresses, and on both of
those occasions the culprits were wo-
men.
There's another strange thing
about the visitors, he continued. OF
the thousands who come here the only
ones we have any trouble with are the
women. We have tape stretched across
all those chairs. he said, as he pointed
to long line of 'sests of the mighty, ;
as it were-chairs of the signers-'to
prevent people from sitting in them.
Well, one wom6n only yesterday want
ed US to cut the tape for her, because
she claimed she was descendant of one
of the signers and thought she had a
right to sit in his chair. and she went
away mad when we wouldn't make an
exception in her case.

old and New.

An English newspaper contains an
interesting parallel. discovered by a
classical scholar. First comes transla-
ton from the original Greek of Anti
pater of Thessalonica:
Once upon time, when ship was
shattered at sea, two men fell at strife,
fighting for one plank. Antagoras struck
away Pisistratus. One could not blame
him: it was for his life. But justice
took cognizance. The other swan
ashore; but him (Antagoras) dogish
seized. Surely. the avenger of the fates
rests not, even in the watery deep.
Then an incident recorded in the Lon
don Chronicle serves to translate the
story into modern event and to show
how life repeats itself:
Two bluejackets. named Friday and
Painter. were capsized from boat at
Weymouth. After struggle . get into
the waterlogged boat Friday beat his
comrade off, and Painter swan ashore

MARRIED. bx Blood.

In the island of Banquey there is a
tribe of Dusuns differing widely in Ian
guage, religion and customs from other
tribes bearing that name. Marriages
are performed in the forest in the pres
ence of two families There is no pub
lie gathering or feast.
The rite consists in transferring q
drop of blood from a wooden knife in
the calf of the mans leg to a similar
cut in the woman's leg. After marriage
the man takes the bride to her home,
where he resides in future as member
