NEW YORK HOSPITALITY.

The hospitality of smaller places is rare if not unknown in New York. Hospitality there is different, and tends to be swamped by numbers, and even chilled into an apparent indifference that is really compelled by circum- stances. Often it makes a brave fight and never wholly gives up, but it is a struggle against great odds. Not sell dom it happens that the enormous az gravation of social and intellectual op- portunities that confronts country peo- pie who come to live in New York so discourages them that they end in liv- ing narrower lives in the great city and seeing fewer people than in the smaller town from which they came. And if 1t does not discourage them it is apt to drive them too hard, A New Yorker who already had house in town and another in the country nearby, excused himself for building a third in New Hampshire by saying. Tn town, or near town, I never get away from en- agreements. I want a place where l can have some leisure-and leisure to a New Yorker means, of course, a chance to do some work ''-Scribner's

CALIFORNIA'S DEMANDS.

California first invented a serious need of steamboats in the United States, and for a generation practically mono polzed them. By poetic injus ice, she has to this day very nearly the worst steamboats, She invented long distance railroading-i indeed, one may probably say the American railroad system. There was not nor has been, any other reason for mileage over three thousand. California called for J. road three times as long as the world had ever seen, and getting it. gave back the sinews to vein the east with rail roads-the sinews and the impetus It is hardly necessary to remark that transcontinental railroadlng Is tech- nic by itself; and that precisely as American methods actually direct continental ones, SD the long, lean sin gle-track sand-ballasted railro ds across our continent are still tutors to the short, fat, perfected roadbeds of the narrow states.-Tiarper's

AMERICA AT THE PARIS EXPOSE
 TTON

Our cocher has been ordered to turn into the Avenue de la Tour Marbourg, and suddenly I find that we have come out upon the Quai d'Orsay, and are at the entrance of the Pont des Tnvalides. Here cabby is ordered to halt and looks on in surprise as we descend into the ankledeep dust and proceed, by means of our open sesame. to the place where four American flags at the cor ners of d large square indicate the en- closure chosen by our commissioners general for the American pavilion. Here, on the rive gauche, In company with others of the Pavillions des Etrangeres, will stand the American pa yilion, a beautiful and attractive struc- ture whose broad steps lead down to the water. Here Americans may land, and at once receive that welcome and attention which the visitor soon dis covers is second nature to the commits siCner- general and his staff; and here, more than anywhere else in Paris, will he find himself thoroughly at home It is to our commissioner general and his untirng industry that we are indebted for the great amount of space which is to contain the American exhibit, and even my gloomy guide is tempted to break into a triumphant smile at this new proof of American skill and energy.

 The Rand case was almost purely cir cumstantial a one, and hung on the handwriting in which the false entries had been made in the books. The hand writing experts all agreed that the en- tries had been made by Rand; indeed, the prisoner admitted as much.
 He had pleaded Not guilty" and when he admitted the identity of the handwriting there was little left to do for him. His counsel was completely baffied by the admission, and Rand re- fused to explain it in any way. Try as he would, the lawyer could elicit noth

WAS A GATHERING SUCCESS.
Comfortable Addition Made to Police
Benevolent Associations Fund.

The picnic of the Police Benevolent As
ISOLATION at Tybee on yesterday, was
among the successes of the year. The Off
GERS and men of the force were gathered
on the island in large numbers, and the
friends of the association had contrib
uted their presence and their half-dollars
to make the occasion successful and tinan-
cially profitable.
There was dancing on the broad pavil-
ions of Hotel Tybee during all of the day
and until midnight last night, when the
last train left the island for the city. Two
bands furnished the music for the occa-
sion, and when anyone wanted to dance
there was no reason why he or she should
not crafty his or her desire. Other
amusements were furnished by the COM
mittee that had charge of the pleasure
and entertainment of the guests.
A large percentage of those who attend
ed the picnic returned to the city only
on the last train from the island, and
their departure was attended with sin
cere regret that the day had been fully
spent A comfortable addition was made
to the treasury of the Police Benevolent
Association, for whose benefit the picnic
was given The tickets had been general
ly purchased. and many OF those who had
tickets, found themselves unable to at
tend the picnic.

COMPLETED HIS ROUNDS.
Col. MERGERS Talk to the CoIOred
School Children.

President George A. Mercer. of the
Board of Education. completed his round
of the schools for the present school year
yesterday. Col. Mercer makes it a point
to visit every school and every class in
every school at least once during the
school year. He completed his tour at the
East Broad street colored school yester
day.
These visits of Col. Mercer are always
source of pleasure to both teachers and
pupils, and he is always warmly received.
1t is his rule to make short address at
each school visited and this was not omit
ted yesterday. Col. Mercer gave the chill
dren a plain, practical talk upon their du-
ties to themselves to take every advantage
of the opportunities offered and to make
the best uses of them in order that they
might become good citizens. The hope
of the negro race, he told them, lay in
honest, practical effort and in making
good use of the opportunities of the ad-
vantages offered them. If they will make
themselves useful and will show their abl-
ity to do something they will not be con-
sidered undesirable members of society,
and their efforts will meet with recogni-
ton.
There is no bar against the negroes ac-
complishing something for himself, Col.
Mercer told them. AS an evidence of what
can be done he told of a Chinaman who
came here few years ago. poor ana
without friends, but who managed 10 Sc
cure a piece of ground on the outskirts
of the city and set to work raising vege-
tables. BY hard, intelligent work he made
a decided success and was the only truck
grower who was able TO supply the mar
ket with lettuce last winter. He is now
improving his ground by putting in sew
eral thousand feet of drainage pipe
If a Chnaman, without friends among
either white or colored. can make sue-
cess in business OF this kind, Col. Mer-
Ger said, why cannot any worthy colored
man accomplish a much with equal ap-
plication. If he be the right sort of man
he would be certain to have number OF
friends among both white and colored to
give him a helping hand where the China
man had none He also cautioned the
children against policy lotteries and crap
playing and other weaknesses of the race.
Principal Ross followed Col. Mercer
with a short talk, in which he endorsed
the remarks of the president and instruct
ed the children to go home and tell their
parents what the president of the board
had said, particularly with regard to buy
ing policy tickets
