A busy government clerk hurried in
to an avenue pie foundry during the
half hour allowed the department en-
ployees for luncheon. There were
many little tables about, and each one
was attended to by an ebon hued
servitor, who foated back and forth
from a long counter that acted as
sort of a coaling station, laden with
apple dumplings, deviled crabs, tripe
and oysters and other similar dainties
so familiar to the ordinary lunchroom.
Bring me sandwich and a glass of
milk called the busy government
man. The negro bolted away and
quickly returned with the desired food
and drink. The clerk slowed away
the leaden sandwich and floated 1t with
the tactical fluid.
"AIy check, in hurry" he shouted
to the darby. The waiter pulled forth
pad and pencil and began to laborious-
ly inscribe weird characters on the
paper. Twice did he seemingly finish
the writing when he would stop, look
at the result and tear up the bit Of pa

toner called again impatiently for the

was written, lone piece pie, one milk"

while PRICES is factor, the first and mos
important thing is THOROUGHLY GOOD
WORK. In other words while men want low
prices they also demand coed cloth and we'll
cut, and well made garments. 1 have bought
both here and in Europe bigger stock of
high grade cloths than usual, and at advan.
tsgeous prices. I have the best workmen
that money can hire, and I'm attending right
to business yself as have been these twelve

Hard Up for Presidents.

When he was SO he returned to his ma
tive town, "just to see how the old place
looked, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. He found it unchanged. The
old store where, as lad, he had clerked
it, and sold calico and groceries to the
old farmers, was just the same He con-
trasted the sleepy old place with himself
and felt glow of satisfaction when he
thought how. much those thirty years had
done for him. They ought to be proud
of me- he said to himself
Presently he met one of the old inhabi-
tants.

His Incentive.

Gen. Arthur Macarthur, who command
ed a brigade at the capture of Manila
and subsequently the division that in its
swift and continuously fighting chase of
the insurgents executed one of the most
remarkable military movements on record,
has been an army officer since his 18th
year, says the Philadelphia Post.
When he was appointed adjutant of he
Twenty-fourth Wisconsin Volunteers, in
1852, he was so small in stature and SO
weak in voice that he excited the general
laughter of his regiment whenever he
piped out command.
One night after dress parade he over
heard his colonel remark: 81 shall write
to the Governor to- send me a wooden
man for adjutant" Stung to the quick
by the words and the laughter that fol-
lowed. he said quietly: I'm show them
that 1 can fight, anyway; then maybe
they'll come to like me better"
Throughout the entire civil war he show
ed that he could fight. He was frequently
commended in general orders, and the
close of the war saw the boy adjutant'
transferred into the "boy colonel'' and
rewarded with commission in the regular
army. What he is now doing the whole
world knows.

WORK ron THE POLICE.

We are not at all surprised that Col.
Mercer of the Park and Tree Commission
thinks it strange that the police gives the
commission no assistance in preventing
valdaHsm in the parks and squares. Unless
the work the commission does and the i'm
provements it makes are protected the
money spent in identifying the city is only
so much wasted. There are several things
the police could do to help the Park and
Tree Commission without in the least in
terfering with it's other duties. For one
thing it could keep the people from tramp
ling the grass in the parks and squares,
and for another it couldsstop the scattering
of waste paper throughout the city. For
more than month the streets and squares
presented an extremely unkempt appear
ance. There had been so much litter In the
streets that 1t caused very general COM
ment.
The remedy for this condition of affairs
as we have pointed out on more than
one occasion, is an order TO the police
to put every person on the docket caught
throwing paper in the streets and
squares, and every shop keeper who throws
waste paper in the lanes Just a little
judgment and some executive ability are
all that are necessary to keep the streets
and squares free from waste paper with
out any additional cost to the city.
The chairman Of the Park and Tree Com
mission Is TO be commended for the deter
mined stand he had taken against the cleo
trio companies that have made use of the
trees to carry their wires from one part
of the city to another. IL seems that one
or more of these companies began using
the trees just as If they owned them,
without asking permission from anybody
1t needs a strong hand to keep corpora
tons, which get franchises from the city
for nothing, from actually grabbing the
city If one wants to know Just how they
treat the city he has but to look at some
Of the paving which was taken up In order
to put their wires under ground and then
put down. The city authorities will not
do their duty 10 the people if they do not
| relay pretty nearly all of the stone and
brick pavement at the expense of the COM
| panies which took 1t up. The amount
Of discomfort which the public suffered
| from the broken pavements and upturned
soil was sufficiently great without the tax
payers having TO bear the expense re-
pairing the pavements which were dam
aged.

Mr. George n. Hepworth, the representa-
tive Of the New York Herald, doesn't
seem 10 have been very successful in his
search for a remedy for lynchings. In his
visit to Georgia nc found material for
very interesting articles. but his mission
appears to have had no otner result lie
talked with the people at Newman and
he found human nature there just about
what ii Is in New York. The conclusion he
reached is that the administration Of JUS
tloe must be more prompt if lynchings
are to be checked; but that is a remedy
which has been discussed here in the
South until it is threadbare. No doubt il
the punishment of criminals were sure
and swift by legal means there would be
a failing off in the number of lynchings
but something else Is necessary to check
the tendency OF the people to take the
law into their own hands when crimes for
which lynching is the most common are
committed.
Mr.. Hepworth seems to have found out
one thing, and that is that the people of
the South have a condition OF affairs to
contend with that is unknown at the
North, and he appears to have reached
the conclusion that if a similar condition
existed at the North, lynchings would be
as common there as they are in the
South. The criminal element in the South
in proportion to The population, is so
much larger than in the North that 1t is
not difficult to account for the greater
number of lynchings in the South.
Some recently published statistics show
that in the North the number of blacks
in the prisons is far greater than the
whites in proportion to the number of
blacks in the North If a third or more
of the population in the North were black,
lynehings would be as common there as
they are in the South. That this would
be the case is shown by the fact that
though the blacks are not really in the
way of the whites there being SO few in
number, they are forced out of all but
two or three occupations and in the
towns are crowded together in quarters of
their own.
The New York Sun is still harping on
the disposition of the whites in the South
away from the ballot box. The Sun cannot
help knowing that it is impossible for the
two races to get along together on the
basis of political equality. History fur
nishes no example of a superior and an
inferior race getting along amicably to-
gether on any such basis. Why then does
it insist upon the impossible? Why doesn't
it discuss the problem frankly instead of
contending for a state of affairs that ii
knows cannot exist.
Some of the ablest colored men in the
South freely admit that there is no future
for the negro an this country on the basis
of political equality. The two races may
get along together, just about as they
are getting along now, for a quarter of
a century or more, but the time viii come
when the country will not be big enough
for both races. AS the races increase in
numbers the points of friction will in
crease, and hence the antagonism will be-
come more accentuated. It is just as well
to recognize the situation as 1t actually is.
1t will have to be recognized that way
sometime.

A Dictionary Dilemma.

A good story is told with reference to
the publication of a certain Biblical die
tionary, says London Tit-Bits. The edi-
tor is said to have given the article on
the deluge to what he considered a safe
hand, but when the article was sent in
it was found to contain views which would
certainly have shocked orthodox readers.
1t had in ii too much of science and too
little of theology
What could be done? The volume had to
be published forthwith. In this dilemma
he put in his dictionary, "Deluge-See
Flood
This, at any rate. postponed the diff
Guilty, and the article on the flood was
given out to a writer who, 1t was thought.
could be trusted better.
But when this second article came in it
was found to be worse than the first, and
another postponement was necessary.
The new volume contained another ref
erence, "Flood-See Noah," the bewilder-
ed editor trusting by the time Noah was
reached he would succeed in finding a
man who would be able to mingle science
and orthodoxy in due degree.
