TAXING BACHELORS.

Strange schemes for the taxation of con-
irmed bachelors are suggested in various cOun-
tries and even in certain States OF the en-
lishtened American Union. When the parlia-
ments and other legislative bodies OF the world
contain a majority Of feminine members, taxa
ton Of that sort may he adopted and enforced
with severity. but possibly not until then.
Meanwhile. in the great cities of this era, and
especially In New York. the tendency seems 10
be 70 strengthen the inducements for young
men 10 remain single. The real estate columns
OF the newspapers are crowded with articles
describing the sumptuOus buildings for bach
elors which have been raised already or are
certain 10 be constructed within a short time.
This is IN truth a remarkable feature Of urban
life in this period. Towering homes for bach
elors. in which they are relieved Of all care
and anxiety in respect 20 their lodgings. except
for the payment OF a specified sum each month
without extra charges. may be found In this
borough as far south as 81. Johns Park. and
as far north as Spuyten Duyvil. Even in
Brooklyn, typical community OF family fire
sides. the isolated celibate has his choice Of a
bewildering array Of apartments designed ex-
pressIy for his benefit.
But Il is on this island OF Manhattan, and
most conspicuously between Washington Square
and ClaremOnt that builders and real estate
investors have been active and lavish in trying
10 allure the ruder sex 20 remain unwedded
The bachelors mansions, lofty and broad and
deep. already occupy numerous sites or great
value convenient OF access and many new
structures are now under way. Celibates Of
ample means can find homes or near the
crest and the slopes OF Murray Hill which
the bachelors OF a generation or two ago could
hardly dream OF. Then consider the growth OF
the clubs of New-York, What stately palaces
in Fifth ave. some OF them own and occupy!
SO many bachelors are literally cared for
in their clubs that visions Of domestic hearths
and household affections appeal 10 them but
feebly
and diversified in It's distractions and amuse-
ments! There Is so much here 20 I'LL mems
working hours and their leisure time alike that
aching vOids in the lives OF the Gotham bach
elors are not nearly so frequent OF yOre.
With entertainments OF almost every imag-
nable sort, from grand opera down to the cake
walk with theatres Of every variety, with art
galleries and libraries with the exciting trans
formations and invoutions OF local politics.
with the stir and hustle of the streets and ave-
nues by day and by night. with the luxurious
every feature OF the new century 10 hold at
tentiOn and 10 break up melancholy brooding
the young man OF the period is too often con-
tent 10 remain single.
Will New-YOrk then find II advisable some
day to promote marriages by imposing heavy
tax on stubborn and mOssgrOwn bachelors?

srysHIyE AND SHADOW IN yEW-7oRr.

Lawrencevillo. y. j.. Feb II (SpeciaD.-The Rev
John Bancroft Devtns. OF New-York preached IN
the chapel OF the LawrenceviIle School this morn
ing. Last night he gave the second Of his Illus
trated lectures on "New-York Life. Its Sunshine
and Shadow" Emphasis laid upon the pres
ent measures looking 70 the relief Of the over
crowded sections OF the city. The efforts Of re-
Hgious and philanthropic workers TO alleviate SUI
ferinss and to light and cheer and the Gospel
into the homes of the workingmen were also de-
sCribed.
In comparing the different sections OF Manhattan
Borough the speaker said he believed life and
property were safer below Twenty-third-st. than
above that dividing line. In the thirteen years thar
he had lived in the Eleventh Ward. east Of the
Bowery. he said. neither he the other members
OF his family had suffered the slightest
noyance from disorderly persons

The air of London is vocal with the complaints
OF citizens who are disturbed by the annoyances
and Affections due to the tearing up OF the
streets while local corporations are putting in
new tubes and pipes. London ought 70 learn
a lesson in patience from New-York. The splen-
did capital Of the British Empire has been in the
main comparatively fortunate up 20 a recent
date in escaping many Of the troubles which
attend chaos in the streets. No other big town
on earth has been treated with more contumely
than Manhattan by corporations operating in
it's thoroughfares. The meekness Of New-Yorx
ers has often been celebrated in song and story
and In official records also. and II has never been
exaggerated London may as well abase itself
before the companies which are laying waste its
public places. BY humiliation and IowIy suppIi-
cation these proud and naughty ones NAV be
placated a little. and may possibly be induced
TO grant some slight concessions But efforts 70
fight them commonly end In the complete COL
lapse of the attacking forces. At least tha, has
been the usual experience this side Of the

Jonas Longs Sons Fourth Anniver-

Today is Anniversary day at Jonas
Longs Sons, and the fourth milestone
of this successful and enterprising firm
in Scranton will have been passed. To
wish them many more years Of success
is, we know, the wish of every true
ScrantOnian, for it is certainly some
thing to be prOund of, to have a store
in our midst like the big store of Jonas
Longs Sons. The store itself is not
only an ornament that adds beauty to
the architectural development of the
city but the life within the store, it's
business like conduction. its advance
ment in modern methods and its help
to the people are the principal features
to interest us. Here are broad aisles
high ceilings, excellent ventilation on
every floor and every modern con-
venience to make shopping pleasure
and the more than fifty departments
that cater TO your individual wants
are all so bright, so complete and so
thoroughly managed that there Ia not
now need to go out of Scranton for
anything. And while these things seem
easy to enjoy now, let us not forget
that they justify praise on the part
of this enterprising firm and the new
era in retailing which they established
here is appreciated, yes, largely appre-
ciated for there is not n more popular
store in Northern Pennsylvania than
1.-The Big Store" and with the passing
years, with such masterful merchants
at it's head it will still continue to prog
ress for it is map of busy life that
covers the space where the old Wyo-
ming hotel once stood and the readers
of its daily store news have profited
much by the grand transformation that
has taken place. And today, Anniver-
sary day, you will have another chance
to reap harvest of opportunities. the
store story today tells it all. Read it
through, such Il gathering of excellent
Anniversary items should not be missed
by any one. =.
