A POLICE OFFICIAL
WHO EDITS BILL POSTERS

There is one billposting boss in WASH
ington who covers the town for all the
theatrical companies that visit the CAPT
tai. The posters for the following
weeks shows reach him on Wednes-
day morning, and he spreads sample
of each other out on the long tables in
his Office. The lieutenant of police ar
rives at the office on Wednesday aft
ernoon.
1t is a solemn. touching thing, says
the New York Sun. to see the lieuten-
ant of police engaged in passing on the
posters. He takes it very seriously. He
screws his head sideways and purses
up his lips when he catches sight of
Autograph portrayal of a wicked bur-
1esque lady whose neither limbs are 900
conspicuously in evidence, and then the
boss billposter who is alongside with
notebook makes a note in his little
book.

lieutenants head and the pursuing of
conspicuous legs of the burlesque lady
are to be carefully covered over with a
large blank sheet when she makes her
appearance upon a fence or a dead wall.
If the straps of the burlesQue lady's
bodice are of so flimsy character that
they threaten to cora asunder, thus
rendering horrifying disclosures posi-
bic, the billposter, at a nod from the
police lieutenant, makes another note in
his book. and when the burlesque lady
is pasted up her bodice straps are lab
oriously covered up with blank strips.
These edited posters look queer on
the billboards of Washington. They
attract vastly more attention than the
unedited posters could ever possibly at
tract. Men stand before them and
gaze at them, obviously endeavoring to
supply the screened portions of the
bills by efforts of their imaginations.
The Washington papers have always
guyed this police censorship of the
posters. but the censorship is likely to
be maintained for a long time to come.
Established institutions do not easily go
to pieces in Washington.
Everything goes on the bihboards of
New York. There are no police or other
restrictions, yet the line of decency is
rarely or never Overstepped. The same
theatrical posters tina, are spread over
New York, however, are the ones that
have to be blank sheeted in Washing
ton and Mount Vernon.

duction that is now put up in so many
attractive ways may he seen on the
shelves at every grocery store in the
land. 1t is is also noticeable that this
trade is constantly increasing.
In the department of fish and fisheries
at the exposition, a section is devoted
to products indirectly connected with
the business. These different forms are
called secondary products, the value Of
which is also considerable and increas-
ing rapidly from year to ear. The prin-
cipal of these are CLUES, fertilizers, oils
and isinglass.
In addition to all this, mounted fish
and photographs to the number of sew
eral hundred marine and fresh water
fishes, most of them being almost as nat
ural as life. will give better idea of
the beauty and value of this production
than any written or verbal description
could possibly do.

and in 1899 it's military commission
adopted the Luger pistol.
In recent test at Washington the
pistol met all requirements and received
the unanimous approval Of the members
Of the board. Its chief points are its
fine shape, it's balance, its precision Of
aim, it's rapidity Of fire and its great
simplicity. 1t operates on the link sys-

cartridges, which is thrown out when
emrty and may be replaced by sin

durance and the usual dust, rust and

thirty shots by one man, who could
make only nine out of twenty-eight with
other styles of pistols in the COMPETE

The United States government, by it's

exposition, of fish and fish productions,
will do great deal towards enlighten-
ing the general public in regard to the
Importance of this vast industry.
At the present time about $50 900 900
are invested in the United States fish
cries. which give employment to 100000
persons. producing annually about $50
00o. 900 worth of the various forms of fish.
Although the great bulk of this bust
ness is carried on along the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts, there is invested in the
fisheries of the Great Lakes more than
100000, which yield to the fishermen
$1,000 900 per year. requiring the services
of 10000 persons.
The different productions of the fish
cries form an important factor in the food

NEW YORK's FOREIGN DISTRICTS.

Parts of the City Where Naturalixed
Citizens Outnumber the Natives.
From the New York Sun.
The total registration of voters in New
York city last year was 640OO0. OF the
voters who took part in the presidential
election in New York county 220, 900 were
native born and IA 900 naturalized citizens.
In Brooklyn, which retains more distinc-
lively its character as an American city,
there were 100000 native and 10000 natural
lied voters. In Queens the number of ma
tive voters was 1900 and Of naturalized
voters 10000; in Richmond there were {, 800
native and 1900 naturalized voters. The
proportion of naturaliZed voters In the
whole city is SO per cent and of native-born
voters 64 per cent.
In seven assembly districts of New York
only, all of them except one on the east
side of the town north of Chatham Square
and south of 14Ih street, do foreign-born
voters preponderate, and the disparity is
greatest In the eighth assembly district, in
which, last year, the naturaliZed voters
numbered 1900 and the native-born voters
200 only.
On the whole west side of New York as
in Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond. native
born voters preponderate, and the male
aliens Of voting age, who number between
10000 and $4,000, are almost exclusively in
the east side districts of town, in which the
Eaturalized voters predominate.
BY the census of 1900 the fourth assembly
district had $4,000 more inhabitants than
its quota for an assembly district the
eighth had $4,000, the tenth 25.OO0, the
twelfth 42OOO and the sixteenth 1900.
There are relatively more unnaturalized
Englishmen in New York. qualified for ad-
mission to citizenship, than any other for

against others, against viands which at
times scent the whole neighborhood Traces
of this stage remain among ourselves in
the taste for high" game, Limburger
cheese, and the like.
Coming lastly to the sense of feeling we
find paradOxical state of affairs with
natives whose sense of touch is as nice as
that of the most cultured European. and
with others who will bear the seyerest sur
gical operations without finching We
know of an operation for the removal of a
finger nail which was done without any
help from anaesthetics. Our surgeons
could tell endless stories of the like kind.
At one time this power to bear was put
down to fortitude. but the more probable
explanation is "a less sensitive nervous or
ganization.
Is there anything to be learned from these
considerations? Do they not explain much
that has occurred within the past twelve
months? Have not the Chinese been acting
merely In accordance with the promptings
of their nature, as it. is, and shall we not
be making a grave error If we try to force
upon them with too great suddenness a
kind of civilization for which as yet they
are not adapted?

Rights of Chinese Parents.
From the China Mail.

From the China Mail.
The law and custom of China still gives
the parents supreme control over their
children. AS far as 1t is possible for an
outsider to get to know this people, whose
ways are dark" it does appear that this
power of life and death is not often exer-
cised unless In the case Of infants. Now
and again, however. instances occur which
prove that this barbarons right Is still
claimed and exercised. A man In the Nam
Hoi district has just put his son to death
in most cruel fashion, and the law takes
no cognizance of the murder, for surely 1t
cannot be called by any other name. The
boy had been often reproved for associating
with gamblers and robbers, and his record
was bad one. This much may be said In
extenuation of the fathers diabolical act.
For long time the father was unable to
lay hands on his son. This he succeeded
In doing by offering q reward to any one
who could bring him home. During the
day OF his return the father gave no evil
dence Of his wicked designs. This put the
lad or his guard. But when night came
the father threw on his mask. seized his
son. bound him hand and foot. and then
proceeded leisurely to strange him.
