TuEIR OWN PErARn

Tt still continues to be the fate of the
reformers of Platt's Mazet committee In
New York to be hoist by their own
petard.
After all it's sore experience with Croker
and his associates, and after having been
partially repudiated by it's creator as a
machine which possessed the dangerous
qualities of a political boomerang, the
Mazet committee at last found a verita-
BILE mine from which it was proceeded at
once TO compass the destruction of Tam
many. The mine was known in reform
circles as the Ramapo, and it has been
worked to the last fissure
The Ramapo water job was q scheme
devised to effect the larceny of some
thing like $500, 900 from Greater New
York. 1t was at once adopted as another
hideous proof Of Democratic corruption
OF course it did not matter to the Ma
zeteers that a Democratic city comptrol-
Ter had called a halt on the scheme and

There having been some question raised
as to defects in the paving of Chestnut
street, Fielding & Shepley Yesterday noti-
fled the board Of public works that If at
any time within the next year there should
be any defects In the pavement, repair
would be made by the firm free of cost
Walter L. Chaplin, as attorney for tie
st. Paul Real Estate and Investment COM
pany, filed objections with the board
against the assessment for the enlarge
ment of Como park. The board having
confirmed the assessment the matter will
now be taken into the courts and an
attempt made to have the assessment
set aside.
The city engineer submitted plans and
estimates for the following improvements
Paving with sandstone the intersection
Of College and Sixth street. Estimated
cost, $3.50
Grading Albany street from Pascal to
Hamline avenue. Estimated cost, S1,771, or
IA cents per front foot to property own

street from Seven h to Hastings avenue.
Estimated expenses, $6,914, or SIPS per
front foot to property owners.
The board will send a final order to the
council for the paving of the intersec-
ton of College and Sixth street, and in
the other two improvements will call in
the property owners interested as soon
as an abstract has been made.

USE OF PERFUMES.

The Greeks, as is we'll known, largely
used perfumes and ointments of all kinds,
and the immense supply of delicate pear
shaped bottles of every hue-ranging from
deep indigo to the most exquisite ride
scent colors-that are dug up in such
quantities in every villa and tomb show
US how fond the women We're of scents,
lotions, ointments and salves. The Greek
scents soon found their way to Rome,
and so great was the demand for them
at one time that the chief street in Capua
was occupied solely by aperfumers, and
1t is said that at an earlier period "Pla-
cium Plancus, when prescribed by the
triumvirs, was betrayed by his perfumes.
His place of concealnent got wind, and
discovered him to his pursuers" Gibbon
tells us that the cir OF the amphitheater
was continually refreshed by the play
ing of fountains and profusely impreg-
mated by the grateful scents of arc
Tnatics."
In England scents were not very gen
orally used until EIizabeth's reign. In
the Lives OF the Queens of England"
we find that perfumes were never rich
er, more elaborate, more costly or more
delicate than in the reign of Elizabeth"
Perfumes and cosmetics of all kinds were
then In full use. The dainties of the
toilet table were kept in boxes strongly
scented with some favorite Cdor, and
were called sweet Golfers, and the bot
ties of perfume used TO sprinkle the gown
and chamber were called casting bot
ties
Scented gloves seem especially to have
been the fashion, and we are told that
Queen Elizabeth took such pleasure"
in some perfumed gloves brought by the
Earl of Oxford from Italy and presented
to her and that "she was often pictured
with them upon her hand, and for many
years after it was called the Earl of Ok

The latest case of highway robbery com
mitted in this city. offers to view as ag-
glavated an instance Of criminal con-
tempt for police agencies as has ever been
presented It betokens the danger through
which this city passed some thirteen years
ago of being given over to scenes Of VIC
lent crime, as the result of lax enforce
ment Of the law. 1t was not the police
department that was al fault then, as it
is today; and a few exhibitions of firm
ness on the part of the criminal prosecu-
ton and the courts had the desired eff
feet Of tiding US over the danger.
The crimes of robbery and murderous
assault committed on Sunday afternoon
and evening, in the vicinity of the Fourth
street tunnel would not be possible in
a Well governed community. They are
rather of the character which distinguish
communities into which there has been
a great influx of the lawless elements OF
society and are much more appropriate
in city like Seattle during the Klondilze
excitement, or Deadwood, or Denver, or
Tombstone, Ar, or Virginia City, New,
during the excitement of local gold dis
coveries.
St Paul is a we'll known conservative
city It's population, as is generally rec
ognlzed, is made up in largest measure
Of those types of citizenship which rep
resent the other extreme to violence or
lawlessness. Yet. for six months past,
the perusal of the police reports by one
unfamiliar with municipal life must nee
essarily create the belief that we are in
the grip of thieves and thugs, and
that police protection is practically con-
fined 10 criminals.
When the roll is called the present city
administration will find the list of it's re-
sponsibtlties a long one. But it will not,
We hope find in that list more atrocious
instance Of criminal control or of proven
police worthlessness than is furnished by
the robbery and murderous assault of
those two foolish young men on last Sab
bath evening.
There will be but little difficulty, we
Rpprehend, in getting the men chiefly in
VOWED in these particular outrages. 1t
would be amazing, indeed, if every man
involved in any way in those transactions
should not be in the hands of the police
at once. Nothing short of an open part
nership between police and criminals in
the proceeds Of the crimes committed,
such as was displayed during ex-Mayor
Doran's term, can interfere with the ar
rest and punishment Of these concerned.
Put, even after all this has been ac-
compHshed, the situation remains prac-
tically unchanged, 50 far as the peace
and safety Of the community are concern
ed. The carnival of breaking and
hold-ups, which has been in progress so
long, will go on and day after day we
will continue TO be treated to distressing
proofs Of police Incompetence or worse.
How long, Mayor Kiefer, is this sort Of
thing to continue?

most brilliant affair. It could not be
otherwise, when the beauty of the cause
and the popularity of Mrs. Yale are

port very satisfactory sale Of tickets,

from this concert will be OF very great
assistance towards defraying the winter

Boss Plat In Withdrawing his patronage
from the Mazeteers, This bumptious Moss,
their leading counsel, dragged Croker,

nothing whatever OF the origin Of the job;

counsel for the Ramapo concern; that
they were retained to put the job

Charges for Service Pipes.

Charges for Service Pipes.
At a meeting Of the board Of water
commissioners held YESTERDAY, thu ques-
ton of changing the rules of the board
relating to the charges for service pipes
from mains to the property line was
brought up. Under the present rules the
price for service connections is higher on
one side Of the street than the other, and
the proposition is to make the charge
equal The question was referred to the
corporation attorney for an opinion as
to whether the change could be legally
made
C. W. Chase presented a petition cor a
main to be laid on the territorial road
east Of Raymond avenue. The board de-
clined to grant the request unless Mr.
Chase and other property owners would
have the street graded.
Bids were received for placing house
telephones in the building occupied by
the board, but no action was taken. 1t
was deemed much cheaper to have a tel
cphone system put in than to use speak
ing tubes. The Northwestern Telephone
company was the lowest bidder, offering
to do the work for $78.
