EXTRAORDINARY ki.pto...i..

One of the strangest cases of klep-
tomania ever brought to light was
heard OF in Paris. A certain lady had
such a passion for smoking and for
coloring meerchaum pipes that she
had been for long time stealing pipes
of this description from shops In the
fat which she occupied there were
found no fewer than s.5e9 pipes. not
one of which. il is believed. she had
paid for. They were neatly arranged
on racks. and 50 were well colored.
The court before which she was in
dicted for some of the thefts would
listen to no excuse. but sent her to
prison for eight months.

SPAIN AND THE sPAN1ARDs
What Causes the Insecurity of the
National status-An Indo-
lent Race

It In not true that the Spaniard is
naturally cruel, declares David Han
nay in the Pail Mall Magazine. The
ferocities of which he has unquestion-
ably been guilty have come from his
unbusiness-like Incidence He lets
trouble come from want of precaution
in time. and it finds him unprepared.
Then he falls into the rage of the in
dolent man who is aroused out of his
Incidence. and strikes savagely. Con-
duct of that kind proves his inca pacity
for government. and is seen at its
worst where he has to deal with Gre
oles, who repeat his own faults in an
exaggerated form. and with half
breeds For that reason. among 9TH
ers. he has lost his colonial empire 1t
would be mistake, however, to sup
pose that Spain is decaying. The pop
uiation has nearly. If not quite.
doubled in the present century and
the country itself is infinitely better
off than it was a hundred years ago.
The loss of Cuba will be no evil for
Spain. but a gain. for it will stop a
dreadful drain of life and treasure.
When there is no colonial market to
think of, the immense resources of
the country itself will probably be bet
ter worked The mere mineral wealth
of Spain ought to be enough to make
IL rich If it has begun to underst and
the consequences of bad administra-
tion il may well be one of the most
prosperous parts of Europe in another

The Ar Of Advertising.

+ The Bible warns US not to hide our
lights under a bushel measure, and
also enjoins US to let our light shine
forth before the world.
That simply means that every one
who wants to be known, must adver-
tise. That every successful firm ad-
vertises largely is an evident fact.
The converse Of this act-that every
large advertiser is successful in bust
ness is equally true
These elementary principles appear,
however, to be insufficiently recog-
nized by the class whose interests are
most vitally affected by them.
1t is astonishing to any one who
has an opportunity to observe the
matter, the degree of ignorance ex-
isting among business men regarding
advertising in general.
Some of them indeed display such
density upon this subject as to
cause wonder how they have succeed
ed in transacting business.
Most of them seem never to have
attempted to trace the relation Of
Cause and Effect in the matter of ad-
vertising. Consequently, they are
swayed by certain blind prejudices
regarding it. A few will go so far
as to declare that to spend money in
advertising is to throw it away; and
. few of the more narrow class will
hint broadly that soliciting advertise
ments is form of beggary; that they
regard any money spent in advertis-
ing as a charitable donation.
The cases of such are usually hope
less. They are beyond the reach of
reason.
Some viii tell you that they have in
the past spent thousands of dollars in
advertising without obtaining any re-
turn for the outlay.
1t is impossible to persuade these
that their i'll success was due simply
to their lack of knowledge of the
proper way to advertise.
The man who fires gun in the air
or with both eyes shut seldom hits
anything to the purpose.
Another very ridiculous class will
tell you that they are well enough
known without advertising themselves.
Alas for the vanity of poor humanity.
Actual experiment has proved more
tqan once that such over confident
persons were unknown to neighbors
living in the same city block.
Even allowing that the name of an
Individual or firm is known to every
one in the community, it is certain
that to all intents and purposes they
will be forgotten unless their names
are kept constantly before the ever
changing public st. Louis Manu-
facturer.

The stealing Of coal on railroads h :

railroad competition is brisk the roads

loss due to thefts Of coal from their
cars. In other districts. where mines
are scarce and a brand OF coal Il well
advertised, the dealers will stand the
loss In other districts. again, as in the
state of Kentucky. where mines are
numerous and the competition in heavy.
the onus of the thefts falls on the mine
operator. A large mine owner. who
had to bear losses of this kind finally
bethought himself of a practical plan
Of stopping them. He built car CON
sisting of an ordinary gondola car. COW
cred by a sectional roof, divided into
four folding doors upon each side of
the car, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch
The doors are SO equipped that they
can be turned back, one at time, or
convenient for loading. When the car
is loaded. the doors are locked and
sealed by one operation The car il
then weighed and is sure of being de-
livered and paid for at mine weight.
Protection is also thus given the coal
from rain, ice and snow, and the train
crew are not under the necessity of
climbing over an open loaded car of
coal in doing their work. The unload
ing is perfectly simple. The doors are
thrown back, each in turn, as the un-
loading progresses. Should the car
not be fully unloaded at night, the
doors can be closed and locked by pad
lock. and it can be left on the track un-
til daylight without fear of thieves

FOR MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

The prompt exposure of singular and SEEM
ingy underhanded attempt to create a mlsun-
Outstanding with respect TO Senator Strana-
hans constitutional amendments relating to
city and county debts had its legitimate effect
yesterday in the Assembly, which passed the
amendments in the form in which they went
through the Legislature last year and In which
they had already been readopted by the Sen
ate. They Will therefore be submitted TO pop
ular vote next November and If ratified will
operate TO separate from the debt Of the city
Of New-York the debts OF the several counties
composing il, thus increasing at once the con-
stitutioDal borrowing power of the municipality
by more than $3O,OOO,OOO. At the present time
there Is not the slightest reason TO doubt that
the people will approve the amendments. Tam
many Ia not averse TO them, there is no evil
dence Of serious opposition in any quarter, and
some entirely improbable motive for hostility
must develop between this time and the cleo
ton to prevent their adoption.
This separation of city and county debts, adj
ysable from the first on general principles, Is
especially desirable now by reason of Its rea
tlons 10 the rapid-transit scheme. Controller
Coler has taken particular pains to explain the
bearing OF the amendments upon that question
and has explicitly committed himself to the
proposition that II the limit OF municipal In
debtedness were extended by their adoption
toe city would thereby be placed in financial
condition TO spend at least 100000 a year
for the construction Of underground roads.
without neglecting any other improvement en-
terprlse In which IL has embarked. How COM
pletely other departments of the city govern
ment are in accord with the Controller as to
this matter still remains somewhat uncertain
but recent incidents. and especially the Cor
poration Counsel's appearance at Albany last
week In support Of the Rapid Transit amend
ments-mlnor changes affecting his office be-
Inc all he asked for-indicate favorable
change Of sentiment on the part Of the local
administration. 1t now looks as If Tammany
had become aware that there is an overwhelm-
ing popular demand for underground roads and
ready TO be convinced that II is prudent to CO.
operate with the Commission in meeting that
demand
Altogether the prospect is encouraging for
the execution OF this great undertaking IN gen
eral accordance with the plan OF municipal
ownership which the people approved by an i'm
mense majority at the election of 1891. instead
OF in compulsory obedience TO the exorbitant
requirements Of the Metropolitan capitalists.

PRINCE ARTHUR'S CHOICE.

The Duke of Connaught has definitely de-
cded not TO resign his right to the succession
TO the crown OF SaXe-Cobdrg and GOtha. He
has formally announced that he elects to main
tain that right, and that he is now to be reck-
oned the heir-presumptive TO the crown This
action on his part was. of course. prompted by
the lamented death of the only son of the Duke
Of Saxe-Coburg and GOtha. AS daughter
could not inherit the crown, the direct success
sion ceases and II becomes necessary TO look
TO a collateral line for an heir. and the Duke
of Connaught, being the next brother of the
reicninc duke, stands next in order. There
was some doubt felt at first as TO whether he
would be willing to accept the succession. That
he has now finally and authoritatively set at
rest.
1t is not easy to see, indeed. why there
should have been any doubt on the subject.
Nothing could be more natural than for Prince
Arthur to make the choice he has made. For
one thing, the sense of duty is still strong in
that royal family. He doubtless feels that he
is under an obligation in the matter. If he
enjOyes privileges by virtue Of inheritance, he
must not shrink from the burdens which in
heritance may impose upon him. That Is the
law of "nobesse oblge" But beyond that 1t
the duca crown. Why not? He will be gain
ing more than he resigns. He Is not within
reasonable distance of the British crown; his
possible succession TO it Is entirely too remote
FOR consideration The place Of kings brother
IS seldom pleasant one at Court. There Is no
prospect of further prefermcnt for him In the
military service. Once he did probably cherish
the hope Of becoming COmmander-in-Chief. but
we fancy that hope was some time ago laid
away forever. 1t Is well that it should be. OF
his fitness for the place there Is no question.
But the best opinion In the Kingdom seems to
be decidedly against the place ever again being
filed by a member Of the royal family And
after that there remains only the matter OF
social sacrifices No doubt life In England Is
pleasanter in many respects than In the little
German duchies. Yet there Is much TO he said
on the other side. In England he would never
be more than a son. or brother uncle Of the
sovereign At Coburg he wI-when he goes
thther-be himself a sovereign He will be one
of the Federal Princes Of the German Empire.
and as such will be the peer Of the King Of
Prussia. He will have a revenue and retinue
worthy Of king. and will in turn be able to
transmit to his son monarch's dignites.
The small realms OF Germany have long been
n theme Of satire. But they are not all Grand
Duches Of Pumpernlckel Some Of them have
played and their rulers have played. worthy
and benefcent parts in the history OF Europe.
The sovereign Of such State has most OF the
opportunities and powers for the good of hs
subjects that great Emperor has, without n
1.-THE OF the laiter's burdens and responsibilities.
And as rule we believe, the subjects Of the
small States are less burdened with taxation
and less vexed with political unrest, and on
the whole happier and more contented than
