PRIZES FOR KEEPING CLEAN.
The Undue Scheme of a Benevolent
English Squire Fails to Receive
Encouragement.

The scheme of a Cumberland squire,
w. L. Alexander, of Lorton, England,
for encouraging habits of cleanliness
among occupiers of cottages in Cocker
mouth, has been abandoned, after a
~ months trial, says London paper.
Mr.. Alexander lately gave formal no
tice of the failure of his scheme to the
Cockermouth urban council. The
scheme was carried out for period of
six months, with the result that 10 of
the competitors received prizes. twas
then decided to continue the work for
another year, to increase the amount
of prize to los, providing not less than
five applications were sent in, and to
reduce the rent qualification to rs
week, to include only the very poor
est classes.
But as the number was not nearly
reached, the Society for the Promo
ton of Cleanliness" has been dissolved.
Mr.. Alexander thinks the scheme
failed because the women did not care
to have their domestic arrangements
laid open to the eyes of the lady visitors
and because the husbands felt ag-

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Nidway be-

Ign bridge yesterday morning a man,
whose name no one knows, climbed over
the railing and went to his death in the
East river. He turned over and over as
he fell, according to eyewitnesses whom
the police found, and struck upon his
back. The body sank, but reappeared and
was visible for short time as the flood
tide carried it toward the navy yard. The

SENTIMENTAL OVER TREES.
The Telling of Twelve Giant POpIa RS
Creates Something of
Sensation.

The cutting down of the row of IL
told in the Chicago InterOcean recent
ly, created veritable sensation. The
trees stood in the middle of the street,
in the block between Grand boulevard
and Calumet avenue, and were felled so
that the street might be paved. 1t was
big job, and workmen are still busy
saving up the huge trunks. Everybody
stopped and stared with all their eyes.
There was almost as great variety of
comment as of spectators. While some
were merely curious, the majority
seemed to become possessed very quick
ly by a sort of ''woodman-spare-that-
tree emotion" Those who approved
of the work were a very small minority.
One man was heard to say:
"That's good; now they can fix up
that block SOS it'll look like some
thing"
I'm glad of it," said one petty soul
in the shape of woman; I've always
wanted to ride my bicycle thInnghthat
old mudhole of street."
But, as a rule, the women shook their
heads and looked sentimental over the
downfall of the half-century giants.
Sometimes they added: What a shame
to cut down those beautiful trees" or
what can those men be thinking Off"
The men used harsher language. One
man stopped, looked on a moment in
disgust and remarked so that every
one, including the foreman, could hear
him:
IF I owned property in this block
you fellows would be looking into the
mouth of a shotgun"
While the last tree was being felled
quiet old gentleman, who seemed too
meek and gentle to say "Shoo!" to a
fly, walked straight up to the foreman,
looked him in the eye, and, with infinite
contempt, said, firmly:
Save the last one to hang your
self on"

SPECTATORS SNOOZE.
Witnesses In the Celebrated Dreyfua
Case Testify Amid a Perfect
Chorus of Shores,

Among the curious features of the
Dreyfus trial there is one that is quite
unique and which never fails to sur
prise and amuse the casual spectator,
says the New York Sun. Whenever there
is a few minutes luIl on account of
inaudible or uninteresting testimany
the audience promptly goes to sleep,
and it frequently happens that wit
ness testifies amid q chorus of shores.
It happened few days ago that two
Nernalists of, international reputation,
while enjoying a quiet nap, dropped
their heavy canes with great crash
on the floor. The audience awoke
startled, some jumping to their feet,
thinking in their dazed condition that
some outrage had been attempted.
Since then the gendarmes have care
fully gathered up all sticks and UNI
brellas, partly, of course, to prevent
their use as weapons in case of re-
newed outbreak of passion similar to
that which occurred recently.
The explanation of this popularity of
the Rennes court-martial is the fact
that nine-tenths of the audience is
composed of correspondents, whose
duties keep them abroad until one
o'clock in the morning. They are
obliged to rise again at five, and it
really requires ar unbroken series of
exciting incidents in the court to en-
able them to resist the overpowering
which seizes them when in
terest flags.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-In cable

of his departure thence for New York
He said he would reach New York on
Sept. %. The distance from Gibraltar
to New York is about 5000 miles. The
Olympia can cover it easily In from II to
IA days.
The ADMIRAL in his message did not say
whether or not he would stop at any
place on the last stretch of Lis voyage,
but as he has given himself 1S days the
naval authorities think that he will be
likely to stop at the Azores if the wealth
er is such that there will be no danger
of delaying his arrival in New York
