REDUCTION TO THE TRADE.
The Fraternal Feeling of a House
Painter for an Artist
Patron.

There is a saying that two of trade can
never agree, but there is reason to believe
that there is more fraternity of interest
than is generally supposed. An instance to
prove this theory is found in the case of an
artist in the suburbs who had the front Of
his cottage painted last week. 1t wasn't
much of job, but il was done very well, and
the painter was told to bring in his bill.
Three days later the man of the house was
told that the painter wanted to see him.
"Tell him to leave the bill and I'll send
him check" was the impatient answer.
He was informed that the painter wanted
to see him in person, SO there was nothing
to do but to show him up.
"Well" said the man of the house rather
shortly.
II hope you like the job, said the painter,
with a mysterious smile.
He was informed that it appeared to be all
right.
II always do good work" said the painter,
virtuously. "But this here house-boss, I
rather throwed myself on this when found
out who you was"
$50 you found out who l was, did you"
eyes. When l went to the drug store at
the corner for putty, the clerk told me YOU

house, then, and he said you had got your
hand out now, and didn't paint anything
but pictures. So when found you was in
the trade / did my prettest. And here is
the bill-$l8.6O-and it amt no more than
right, as you know, but, being it's you, III

To the everlasting credit of the cele-
brated artist be it said that he kept his face
straight and accepted the reduction in the
spirit in which it was offered Chicago

Over 1000 men are now employed
working on the streets of Santiago and
it's suburbs, and the consequence is
the city is losing what may have been
one of its most picturesque features,
but which was certainly very unpleas-
ant for those who were DESTROYS of rid
ing or driving is the cobblestones
of the streets. These cobblestones may
last longer by 100 years or so than a
good macadamiZed road, but there can
be no question that 900 people out OF
every 1000 would be in favor of the
latter. Three months ago light buggy
of American make stood poor chance
of existing more than few weeks over
the surface of Santiago roads, and,
though it has been impossible to widen
the streets, still there are many miles
of good roads for driving. The Wood
boulevard around the city is now a ia
vorite resort of an evening, and be-
tween four and six o'clock at night one
can see thereon several hundred car
riages, men on horseback, and even BIZ
cyclists, for the impossibility of riding
one prior to the past three weeks was
palpably apparent to the most enthu-
siastic scorcher.

Of all the foolish practices INDUCED
in by bicycle riders that of reading
while on wheel is the silliest. The
rider does it to show off his skill, not be-
cause he cares dnything about the news
paper or novel he holds in his hand and
h. cares nothing about the imminent
peril to which he subjects pedestrians.
Of course he is too ignorant to know
that he is straining his eyesight, and no
one need really care what harm such a
fellow does to himself, but in the in
terest of others he needs policeman's
grip on his collar.

A gain from $4,000 to 10000 is very
nearly, though not quite, 100 per cent.
in two years. When this gain is con-
sidered in connection with the fact that
the election of 1896 was presidential
contest. at which full vote was polled.
and that the election of 1898 was
state contest, at which congressman
were the only federal officers voted
for, it will be seen that the republican
vote was even more important than it
seems otherwise. and shows a diligent
determination of the republican lead
ers in these five states, whose forces
suffered most severely from the SILVER
craze" to put themselves in line with
their party associates before the next
national presidential election, and in
advance of the next republican national
convention; and they have done SO in
what may be called great style.-N. Y.

1t is reported that the year 1898
breaks all records for losses on the
great lakes. A careful estimate of
losses 10 shipping and vessel owners
for the record breaking year of 1898
places the probable figures at So, 5000
This will hold first place for losses in
the history of lake navigation. The
year 1895 has hitherto held the record,
with a total loss of $2,O96,697. 1t still
stands as the closest rival with the
memorable season just concluding. The
three big storms of October and Novem-
Der. 1898, have made this un extraordi-
nary year. Added to the individual
wrecks that occurred during the sea-
son they have swelled the total by an
amount estimated to be approximately
$3.50. 600.

Half a hundred students of the North
western Qll.) university were on the L
train in Chicago, one evening lately,
and being very smart. like all students,
were playing high jinks with the other
passengers. One of their pleasing d.
versions as passengers tried to get out
at the various stations, was to cry "Pass
him along!" and then the unfortunate
man was josted. pushed, hauled and
finally thrown out upon the platform.
The guards were apparently afraid to
do more than demonstrate, and the fun
grew fast and furious. AtAdams street,
peaceful. white-haired old man got up
to leave. Help the old gentleman out!"
cried the young gentlemen. Then they
tossed him up to the ceiling and
dropped him on the floor, and when he
left the train he was wreck. Then the
students roared with mirth over their
achievement. AT nine o'clock that night
young student came meekly into the
Central police station and reported that
an old man on the train had picked the
pockets of four of the students. secur-
ing four valuable gold watches, and had
also stolen two pocketbooks. ut will

SENATOR GRAY ON M'KINLEY
A Handsome Tribute to the Presfden
from a Democratic
Statesman.

Some democrats have sneered at
and reviled the president. They have
not been as bitter and malignant, how
ever, as the mugwumps. They declare
of Mckinley that there is no good in
him." Some of them call him feeble"
"pliant instrument" in the hands of
bolder men. Others charge him with
pursuing knowingly and voluntarily
course fatal to tire liberties of the re-
public" When any republici defends
the president they call him a. time
server, fatterer who hopes to be re-
warded. In pleasing contrast to all
this abuse is the statement concerning
the president made by Senator Gray in
his remarks at Wilmington a few days
ago. He was one of the commissioners
who negotiated the treaty of Paris.
That brought him into close relations
with the president. AS result of his
intimateknowledge of the man he says:

wisdom and prudence displayed by the
president in dealing with the issues
arising out of the war with Spain. He
has moved too slowly to please some
at the time. He has moved too rapidly
to please those who did not want him
to move at all. The final verdict will
be that he advanced thoughtfully and
judiciously, keeping even pace with the
wishes of the people, waiting only to
learn their will and then executing it
when he found cut what it was.-Chi-

After years Of patient attention
Boston woman has acquired a scrap
book of fashion that is truly unique
and amusing. In the early days Of the
civil war she began clipping plates and
fashion paragraphs from mode journals
until her proposed volume has now
formed several. 1t is wonderfully odd
to review the fads and fancies that
flashed like so many meteors through
the skies of the past 35 or 40 years, says
Hub exchange. There are the Grecian
bend, the chignon, the waterfall, the
pullback, the crinoline, the tiny bon
nets and the pokes, the large bustles,
hoops and the large sleeves. Only ex-
tremes of style and oddities are used, or
the collection would swell beyond all
proportion. AS it is, it is the source OF
much mirth whenever she brings 1t out
