NEW YORK's BROWN BOOK
Sings the Praises of Croker and Tam
many Chiefs.

New York, Jan. 21.-There are "red
books and blue books bristling with
statistics and biographical sketches as
sued as semi-officia1 utterances by
states and nations. China puts out a
yellow book loaded with oriental
facts and figures. Now New York has a
brown book"
1t comes from the press of the Martin
5. Brown Printing company and ad-
vance copies were sent out today II is
described by the publishers as a bio
graphical record of public officials OF
the City of New York for the year 1879
1899, together with a. review of the work
of the department of city government
under the first year of consolidation
The book describes each department,
the work it is supposed to handle, ana
gives a list and portrait Of all heads OF
departments.
The Martin B. Brown company has
the official printing for the administra-
ton and consequently the brown book"
is anything but unfriendly to the lead
ers of Tammany Hall, whether in oft1-
cia1 position or not. These last are
gathered in a closing chapter, entitled
Public Spirited Citizens" These are
Richard Croker, Nathan Straus, and
John F. Carroll.
In the biographical sketch of Mr..
Croker he is described as a man having
in him the material of which great
generals are made.

1T IS A SHAME
Says Scalchi For Patti to Marry
Again at Her Age.

Nine. Sofia Scalchi, who sang con-
tralto in famous grand opera to PATHS S
soprano thinks it foolish of her former
associate to marry for a third time at
her advanced age. 1.-TWO time she try
it, said she in Italianized English this
morning, land now she try it again at
60 years old. Her third man is but a
boy, only 2s believe, and don't know
I think some how it is a shame
Nine. Scalchi arrived in Topeka from
Lawrence this morning and will appear
probably for the last time, at the Craw-
ford theater tonight. She is this year
bright young Italian law student, who
looks after all his mothers business af-
fairs. He is able to talk English quite
f1uentIy, something that his mother is
still unable to do after many seasons
in this country.
Nine. Sca1chi has not seen Patti for
six years. They met for the last time in
Turin, Italy where Sca1chi makes her
home At that time Patti confded to
her that she believed she would have
been happier had she never married
but guess she change her mind" she
said t'for I see she say she will be more
happy with her boy husband than ever
before. Maybe she is lonely now she is
growing old, and wants some one for
company"
Nine Scalchi will either join the Roy
al Opera company of ST. Petersburg or
tour in Australia next year. She is still
undecided as to next season. She says
it is probable she will not return to this
country, although it is possible she may
change her plans.

TO PAY INTEREST HEREAFTER
The Banking Bill Provides For an In
come From the States Money.

The senate committee on banks and
banking has presented to the senate a
unanimous report recommending the
passage of Senator Chas. F. Johnson's
bill to provide for the deposit of public
funds now in the state treasury in
banks.
This is regarded as a good measure
by the financierS in the legislature and
it is likely to pass both houses by a
one-sided vote in it's favor. The chief
merit of the bill is found in the fact that
1t provides that all moneys belonging to
the state on deposit in local banks shall
bear interest.
The bill makes the treasurer, the gov
ernor and the attorney general board
to look after this matter. The money
is to be deposited in the banks, which,
after submitting bids to the board, are
SO designated by the board, at the high
est rate of interest offered by the bid
ders and the interest to be paid shall be
upon the daily balances.
In addition to the loaning of the
money to banks on interest, the banks
which secure the privilege are required
to furnish a gilt-edged bond for the
safe keeping of the funds entrusted to
their care. These securities are to be
in the nature of state or county bonds
approved by the board in charge of
these loans to banks.
few weeks ago in Topeka one of
hands. OF this amount $197, 900 belonged
to the state but it was bearing no in
terest. The passage of this law would
bring into the treasury thousands of
dollars annually in interest from this
source.

ORDER OUT THE roUaHs.
A Nuisance at the State House That
Should Be Abolished.

The state house is infested by a crowd
of colored boys who create a disturb
ance constantly during the day in the
corridors adjoining the senate cham
ber and the house of representatives.
The majority of these boys are toughs
and they swear and fight among them
selves all the time. They have bootblack
stands in the halls, and without author
ity, too but this does not prevent them
from being always in the road when
passengers leave and enter the elevator
or attempt to pass into the senate
chamber or representative hall.
This crowd of boys has become an
absolute nuisance to the members of the
legislature. They are particularly an
noying to ladies, too, embarrassing
them by loud and vulgar talking.
Either the executive council or the
legislature should rid the capitol of this
crowd of toughs. They are only in the
way and are a disgrace to the state
house.
