AFTER LICENSE DELINQUENTS.
County Treasurer Wright Acting Under In
structions From State Examiner nudnail.


County Treasurer Charles =. Wright
is this week sending out notices to all
merchants and other persons who are
delinquent in the payment of their oc-
cupation license to call and pay the
same.
He has received notice from State
Examiner William lIudnall to use all in
fiuence possible to collect the licenses
delinquent Nov, /. Mr.. Hudnall in his
letter says:
'.It is 4 great injustice for some to pay
license and others in the same line of
business to escape payment. Besides the
state is interested in having prompt and
full collections made.
At Mr.. Hudnall's request, a copy of
the list of delin4uents will be furnished
to the county attorney at the same time
it is sent to him, so that the official
may have the basis for suits for the
amount of deIinquencies. Such lists are
to be furnished every three months. So
that Mr.. Hudnall can compare them. II
he finds the same names on two success
sive lists he will push the county at
torncy to enforce collection.
Those who pay license can now keep a
check on their delinquent neighbors and
competitors, for the law requires the
publication every June and Dec. ] OF
the list of those who have paid during
the previous six months, If a man ol
firm is doing business without having
paid, il can easily be ascertained by
reference to the list.

IN A PARIS BARBER SHOP.

l saw something in Paris that anus ed me at first, and struck me as emi- nently Parisian. The more I think of of it, however, the more 1 am con- vinced that it is a pretty good thing. I went into small barber shop in the Rue de Ia PaiX to be shaved. 1 noticed before the barber applied the razor to my face he stepped to one side of the room and dipped it in a small jar of hot water. I thought at first he was heat ing it, and wondered why he did that when the day was so abnormaIly warm. didn't Say anything at first, but when he repeated the operation later. and saw barber at the next chair dip his razor in the same water, asked what it was for. The barber said that it was an antiseptic solution, and that the razor was dipped in it to kill any possible germs that might be on it. He also added that the water used in making the father was treated with an antiseptic. As I said before, this appeared to me as Overdoing the thing, but upon second thought it seems to me that it would be a good idea to adopt in this country, where barber's itch and other skin diseases are frequently contracted in barber shops. So far as 1 know no barber shop in this country has adopted the idea, although the Parisian barber told me it was old there-C. $. Proctor in New York Tribune.

CITY ROOTS.

The most rational reform suggested by our fearfully destructive heat waves is the introduction of roof gar dens; that is, a reform ill American achitecture. utilizing the rooms of city houses for an escape from the furnace heat below. Instead of building sky scrapers we should have sky-facers Let us put an end, by statute, to the erection of any building more than five or six stories high, and require that in all cases the roof be readily reached and utilized for recreation and sleep. The women could do nearly all their work-except possibly washing on house tops. Babes could get fresh air, and the sick escape the torture of ten ement rooms. With a strong parapet around such roofs, and an awning to cover them, they could become the most important part of a city dwelling. Our town architecture was not de signed with an outlook for the enor- mously congregated population now gathered in our municipalities.-C Chris tian Register.

 Every state now and then has an attack of free text book fever Ihe last legislature discussed the subject pro and con. Although there were many warm advocates of the proposi- tion. n strong "anti' element sprung up, and they won the day. The school authorities of Cleveland are now en- gagged in introducing free text books into the city and as they have only SIG, 900 at their command they have been inquiring into the cost of like service in other cities. They find a varying cost in the introduction of the system, but a fairly uniform average cost of about 50 cents per pupil an nually for it's maintenance In their own city they estimate that an original expenditure of $1.S1, for each of the 8, GOO grammar school children would be necessary, if all were to be given new books at the public expense. They may start the system successfully however. with the $40.000 at their command, having adopted q clever plan to supplement the. financial de. ficiency. The parents have been asked to donate to the schools the text books in their possession, and 10000 of them promptly expressed compliance with the request.-Meriden Record.

Colonel c. B. Hoff, a prominent Ohio politician, told the following story, ;n Washington, to illustrate the difference between then and now fin the republi- can party of Ohio: "The solicitude Senator Hanna has lately shown for the reelection of Senator Foraker is in striking contrast to the attitude the junior senator assumed toward lis present colleague before the Cleveland man had political fish of his own tol fry. The late Colonel A. L. Conger. formerly national committeeman and q friend of James e. Blaine, told the story in a series of public letters in
 1897. at the time Mr Hanna was mak- ing his campaign for election to the senate. after having been appointed by Governor Bushnell to succeed John Sherman. The chief evidence of Han- mas hatred for Foraker was shown during one of the latter's campaigns
 for election of governor--you will re- member that Foraker was three times candidate for governor. Colonel Conger was chairman of the state com mittee and Foraker's closest political
 friend. According to Colonel Conger's story, as chairman of the state com mittee, he went to Cleyelandf and
 raised money for the campaign, and among other men he saw MT Hanna. Hanna was then unknown in national politics, but he was a rich man and had been a liberal contributor to cam
 paign funds. When approached on this occasion, however, Colonel Con- ger said. he announced that he would give not cent for Foraker,' his
 declaration being punctuated by ad- jectiyes both picturesque and expres-
 siye, To-day it is different. Hanna
 has probably no more love for Fora
 ker than he had when the latter want
 ed to be governor, but the exigencies
 of politics have compelled these nat ural enemies to make their bed to- gether, and thus there is harmony
 among the Buckeye republicans.

CHAMBERLAIN RESPONSIBLE. E.

Mir Chamberlain asserts the right of the English government to arm Kaffir against the Boers. This nation is also arming the native tribes of the Philip pines for service against the people of Luzon. In India the native races have been utilized as soldiers for two cen turtles. On the western plains this government has used the Indians against the Indians. In the old col onial days the French turned the AL gonquin tribes against the white set tiers of New England, and the Eng fish turned the Six Nations against the French settlers of the St Lawrence. But when. in the Revolutionary war. the British government used the same lroquois Indians against our fathers, and the massacre of Wyoming valley occurred, storm of indignation arose that has besmirched for all time the regulations of Lord George Germain and the other English statesmen who countenanced the arrangement. In our civil war the cOnfederates use,l Indians against our armies. Consld- erable protest was made, as was made also by the confederates when we in turn armed the slaves against their masters. The test seems to be not in the use, but in the manner of use of tut diAACc. IL tue AuLuTS dre DrODerlV held i'll control, and are made to wage war as European soldiers do there can be no more harm in their use than in the employment of other mercenaries or adventurers. But if they are to be turned loose to wage Kaffir war on whites, as the Iroquois were turned loose to wage Indian war on the Amer ican colonists, the procedure will be atroci0us, in spite of MT Chamber lain's defense of it. And the public sentiment of the world will demand very strong assurances that the Kafir is really restrained to civilized meth cd. There will be suspicion that be- hind the veil of military censorship | things are going on that the rules of civilized warfare would not coun- tenance. The British officers in the Revolution did not countenance the atrocities of the Iroquois. but they lad invoked agencies that they could not control. Their responsibility was for that. And if Mr Chamberlain is to arm the Kaffirs against whites, he must be very sure. if he wishes a fair fame in history, that he can control
 the barbarians whom he calls forth

REV P. F M'ALLENNEY,s SUCCESS

Since his appointment to the rector ship of St Peters parish the Rev Paul r. McAlenney has made a number of improvements ill the property of the parish. He has improved the ventila- ton of the church by forty double ven tilators. These yentilators are con structed according to the plan of the tubing system of ventilation, and the outlet is on the roof. They insure a constant circulation of pure air through the church. They have greatly inn proved the ventilation and during the extremely hot weather the attendants at St Peters church enjoyed the bene- fit of them by relief from the physical discomfort of excessive heat Arch bishop Ireland visited the church one day this week with Bishop Tierney and was very much interested in the system of ventilation,
 During the summer vacation Father McAlenney is having many improve ments made in the school buildings. He has made 1t easier to enter and leave the buildings These alterations have been mad to prevent the possibility of any fatality occurring in case of fire
 
 schools closed this year with an attend ance of 900 children. but Father Me Alenney expects that the attendance will be increased to 1000, He has open ed two new rooms to provide for the increase in the number of children who will attend the schools this year. Last year he was obliged to send away chil dren, whose parents desired their at tendance at St Peters schools, because of the inadequacy of room in the buildings. Father McAlenney will oper kindergarten in connection with his schools in the fall. He has had changes made in an adjacent building that will make 1t in every way suitable for [ 1 Kindergarten. He expects to start ths kindergarten with an attendance of 15t or 100 children. These changes wil l require an increase in the number ol 1 teachers. and the school year will stnr ] in September Hartford Times.

KISSED FOR HER OWN SAKE.

At the reception at Senator Clay's residence on Friday, afternoon, when quite number of ladies were being introduced to Governor Chandler, one young lady was introduced who is the daughter of a distinguished and la- mented Georgian who has crossed over the river of death,'' when Gov ernor Chandler remarked: q esteem the memory of your father so reverent- ly as one of my truest friends that am almost tempted to kiss you for him. The young lady, beautiful in person, cultured Ill mind, and keen i'll repartee, replied: 'Why not kiss me for myself?v To her sudden surprise the governor said. "I will" and suited the action to the word. The young lady says now that she does not allow any one but governors to kiss her, mol even United States senators. Marlet la, Ga, Journal.

No one can deny now that the Porto Ricans are enterprising. The council of the city of San Juan has offered a maintenance fund of $6.000 year ii MT Carnegie will give $150.000 to es- tablish central and distributing li- brary in the capital of the island.-New Haven Palladium.
 It would be more beneficial to open libraries in Porto Rico than in some of the cities in this neighborhood which have received them, but then there might not be so much glory ill going down among the Porto Ricans as there Is in giving to those who need not libraries or books.

SOME NOVELS TO READ.

At last some one has asked the ques- tion We have been waiting for. He puts 1t in this form "In view of the persistent demand for historical novels and the many mediocre stories which are written to meet 1t. it seems strange that there has not been revival of the old-time novelists. and especially of Dumas and Harrison Ainsworth.'
 It Is probably true. as the propoundef of this question suggests that although every one knows the names of these writers very few persons read them except the one most famous book or Dumas "The Three Guardsmen.' Yet from these two authors alone there Is considerable library of stories, ev- cry one better than most of those which are put out nowadays, including number of those that are advertised as great sellers" About half of these modern books frankly initiate the work of their forgotten predecessors, and do with less neatness and less spirit and less knowledge and less literary skill what the larger men had done before. As to the novels of Dumas most of them nave suffered from inadequate translations. but even with this handi- cap they should be able to hold their own if they were put before the people in a reasonably attractive form at a moderate price. Meanwhile we strong | ly advise those who like stories of adventure to obtain from the nearest | library almost any of the books of Dumas and try the experiment of read l ing them. He was not the man to adopt | or araI h as<. e,fa | that had not some distinct merit, and l it is tolerably safe to say that even these borrowed and improved books are great deal better than the great majority of the British and American output in similar field during the past few years.
 l The best way of all for those who know even little French is to get one l Of the books in the original and work away at 1t. 1t will not be found diffi- cult. and the interest of the story will keep one going. A great deal of prog ress will be made in short time and with little effort. and after two or three of the stories have been read in 1 this way the work will go easily, while I few more will give the reader quite a fair reading knowledge of the lan-
 
 l guage. This is quite apart from what we set out to say, but it is, after all, l a natural supplementary remark, as I will be recognized by everyone who has ever tried reading such q book as ''The Three 5Guardsmen" in a trans lation and also in the original To l those who have no , knowledge3 ot French it may be said that the mere learning to read it isr very simple | matter, and there is no better way than to go to work with an interesting book and puzzle along with it and q dictionary, using the latter as little as possible, but never emitting to con suit it in case of real need.
 But in any case try some of Dumas or Ainsworth before taking up fresh dozen of the very latest alleged mas 1 terpieces of men with fame yet tc | make, or of fame that is confined to other readers who have also neglected to learn that there was something worth notice in adventurous and ever riotous fiction one orftwol or even three generations ago.
