No fair-minded landlord can any
fonger advance the old argument that
wretched tenements are inevitable be-
cause the poor prefer filth to cleanli-
ness and that good tenements will not
pay. The City and Suburban Homes
Company of New York has disposed Of
that insufficient C Of the parsimo-
NOUS landlord. This corporation ap-
preached the problem with the idea Of
combining business ana philanthropy.
1t has built excellent tenements in the
poorest parts Of the city, and rents
at prices as low as those of the miser-
able novels about them. Its holdings
represent an investment of two mil
lion dollars, on which it has just de-
clared a dividend of 4 per cent. The
landlord who pretends that good tene-
ments will not pay is usually a mar
who wants fifteen per cent.

chow that Barry was insane at the
time OF the killing. -.
Tyvo .witnesses testified in the AFTER
noon. their evidence being incidents
tending to show that Barry was M
sane.
David ward testified to Barry's COM
Ing to the Ryley drug store on !ne
morning Of the tragedy. He was talk-
Ing fast and his eyes appeared Wild ana
excited and his manner generally was
so different from his usual appearance
that the witness whs&at a loss to Know
what was the matter.

stand. He based his opinion that n

noticed his strange manner IN ruDo.nk

was cross-examined by Mr.. Cccnrane

He was followed on the stand by DIT.

was along the same line, and this Wit

lasted until court adjourned.
Three Of Barry's relatives occspied
the attention Of the court next day.
The first was his aunt, Mrs. Sweeney, &
woman forty-eight years. of age. She
testified to her own insanity. n TO
her being treated in the asylum at
London. Ont, for that disease for W
months in the summer OF 1873. she

i The second witness was James Dono-
van. a brother of defendants mother.
His evidence bore put that of the pre-
yious witness as to her insanity, as
also that Of his own sister, Mrs. Ridge.
The most interesting witness for the
defense was Helen Barry, the defend
ants mother. Her evidence, which was
mo- concluded at tn adjournment OF
court, was on the question Of the in
sanity Of TIE family down to her time,
and she succeeded in establishing that
many had died in fits Of lunacy and
other kinds of diseases Of the mind.

In East Oakland, CAL, is to be tried
q plan for helping homeless girls
which seems almost ideal in method
as well as in purpose. A rich and gen.
e%rous-hearted woman has declared her
intention of building ten cottages, each
of which will accommodate ten girls
and be in charge of a "house-mother."
The cottages will stand in a beautiful
park, with trees, lawns and flower
gardens about them. The inmates Of
each cottage will constitute a separate
family, the older girls helping to care
for the younger ones. All will attend
the public schools as other girls do,
and will have their W outside diver
sions and friendships. Meantime they
will also have in the home a thorough
training in housework. AS they reach
4 suitable age. each will receive spe-
cial education in whatever trade or
field Of work she may select-teaching,
dressmaking, millinery, typewriting.
