Elevator Etiquette.

According to the etiquette of the day,
it is not requisite that a man shall re-
move his hat in the presence of a woman
in a public thoroughfare or conveyance.
Nobody thinks of mans going bare
headed i'll a street car or a railroad car
or cab because he is in the company
of women The elevator of a business
building or Of hotel is certainly pub
lie conveyance, and the corridor Of a
business building or hotel is certainly
public thoroughfare. Ergo, in our opin-
ion, courtesy toward the fair sex does
not require man TO remove his hat III
either place because there happens to be
a woman present.
Having said, however that courtesy
does not require the removal of a mans
hat under the circumstances recounted,
we do not mean to disparage in the
slightest degree the chivalrous intent Of
the man who does remove his head COW
ering. If you feel that you ought to take
off your hat in an elevator, do so. If
you are uncomfortable with it on, get it
off at once. These things are largely
matters of comfort. In New York men
keep their hats Oh with persistence that
is somewhat shocking to the Southerner.
Ii the man in Gotham has any doubt
about whether he should have his hat in
his hand or on his head, you will not find
it in his hand. He takes as much rope
as the law will give him. On the CON
trary, 1T has not been very long since it
was the proper thing in Charleston, S.
c.. for a gentleman to stand with his
head uncovered during all the time he
was conversing with a lady, even if he
met her in the street; and there may be,
for all we know, hundreds of stately
South Carolinians who observe that pref
ty but unhyglenlc custom TO this very
day. Virginia, it will be observed, is
about half way between Charleston and
New York.-Norfolk Landmark

Cossacks-A Cunning People.

The Siberian Cossacks, especially those
Of Nerchinsk and Trans-Balkalia, are dis
tinguished by their tall stature, strong
bodies and serious cast Of features. The
eyes Of the Cossack look out sternly from
beneath his shaggy eyebrows, but they
CLEAN with decision and cunning. 1t is
indeed a hard task to deceive a Cossack.

THE PARK QUESTION i.

The time has come when some.

Of a public park. Mr.. Colby, the
civil engineer in charge Of the work
here is willing TO do anything he
can 10 secure a park, and has made
an effort to get the council inter
ested, but has failed. Mr.. Colby
Informs US that a plat can be set
aside for park purposes and the
same can be purchased at the rate
Of SO per acre. provided such
tract can be found without improve
ments or valid claim from owners or
holders. In case a suitable site can
be found and all claims TO owner
ship are wiped out the same can be
laid cut as a park and can be pur-
chased at the rate mentioned.
The Express has frequently urged
upon the people the necessity Of
action in this matter, and an efor
was made by Sorosis, a literary club
Of ladies, but so far as we know has
had no result. The time has come
when something must be done or
the city will 60 without a park.
