the flames spread rapidly 10 the Woe

sTREET-swEEpING NUISANCE.

There is loud and just complaint against
the system I'm vogue i'm Richmond OF
sweeping some of the streets during the
daytime ON many of our thoroughfares
this work is done at a time when the
people are most abroad and the nuisance
of dust-raising by the brooms of the
swecpers is supplemented by the pilng up
along the cutters of the sweepings, which
become the sport of the wind
ON street like Broad for instance.
not only are the stocks of The merchants
injured by the blowing i'm upon them OF
the dust. but the army of lady shoppers
is greatly incommoded. The ladies' suffer
seriously. both in their eyes and in their
dress
With the advent Of March, the month Of
high winds and rapid drying out of the
SOIL the nuisance is always accentuated.
There ought TO be radical reform in re-
spect of this matter. The streets ought
TO Doe swept. and the sweep.ngs removed
at night, or early in the morning before
the people are astir; and the new system
should b. inaugurated without further
ado

sensauon-lovins Paris is now enjoying
a most amusing incident connected with
the Dreyfus matter though apropos this
subject there are also some very angry
people i'm the French metropolis. The
whole cause of the fun and trouble is q
series Of bogus photographs printed 10y "a
pro-Dreyfus journal. which seeks noto-
riety and scorns libel suits. These pic
lures. which are produced by a we'll
known process. represent several politi-
cal enemies in attitudes Of seeming
friendship or intimacy. The effect is
astonishing and ludicrous in tho extreme,
and the inscriptions placed beneath the
pictures by the editors add insult 10 the
injury. Imagine a photograph Of Gene
rails Miles and Eagan. in which these two
prominent gentlemen cordially clasp
hands or smoke together, and you will
have before You an incongruity such as
tickled Paris. But the French editors.
never satls6,7 with mediocrity. have gone
even farther than mere harmless joke.
They have caused the photographed in
dividuals 10 assume poses and positions
which make the pictures the most biting
satires and hold the persons up TO ridi-
cule
People whose figures resemble those Of
the pretended personages are costumed
posed. and photographed Then the faces
are substituted from genuine photographs
the picture is touched up, rephotograph-
ed. aud the trick Is done. The pro-
cess involves something more than a
carcature-you see the people themselves
natural and unexaeserated. ard they arc
at the mercy Of the counterfeiter.
The Duchess dues, who was repre-
scented by the photographs as seated i'm q
chair with Arthur Meyer leaning IA.
miliarly over her, forthwith brought suit
against the journal which thus insultcC
her. and others have followed her exam
pie The editors however hope to cs
cape behind a doctrine of professional
secrecy" something like that exisunl
here between lawyer and client. which !.
carried 10 great lengths in France.
Aside from the political venom exhibte,
10y this incident, the affair serves 20 war;
