The Rent Rag.
milwaukee SentineI)

1t was about 10 o'clock at night and
on Wells street not far from Fourth
that man saw a Chinese lantern
swinging outside a thrd-story window
of a building across the way. The
building was a boxlike structure pre-
maturely run to old age, and he knew
it to be a tenement house occupied al
most exclusively by poor colored peo-
pie.
In the daytime the sidewalk, swarm
ed with little black children, and there
We're dark faces peerinS over every sill
all the way up to the roof. He knew
the corner pretty well, but he couldn't
understand why a Chinese lantern
should be hung out of window. 1t
against the lonesome front, and the
had little decorative value, swinging
man who saw it couldn't remember
that the day was an anniversary call
ing for any illumination.
A policeman happened along and the
man asked him about it.
whats the meaning of that lantern
up there?"
Don't you know"
"Why,, no. The windows up there are
thing going on
"That'c rent rag"
Eyes, but what's O rent rag?"
"Well, when some man gets down on
his luck and can't pay rent, he has
kind Of benefit dance. The other ten
ants come to it and chip in 10 or 10
cents apiece. They get lots of fun out
Of it and he raises SO or 81 to pay his
rent. That's a rent rag
whats the lantern got to do with
it?'
THAT'S the way rent rag is adver-
tised. When that lantern is out the
colored people know that some one is
giving a dance to raise rent money.
When some one else gives a rag he is
supposed to come around and put in
his bit. It's good scheme. only they
say some Of them try to work it too Of

A hearing on the petition for a change
of curb on Mansfield avenue was held last
night at the city clerks Office before the
aldermanic street committee. composed of

60 feet, the intention when the street was
laid out being to have two driveways, each
20 feet wide and 20 foot park running be-
tween them. The park idea was never car
ried out and owing to the cost of caring
for the street petition was brought De-
fore the board to reduce the width of the
street to 80 feet.
Property owners representing a frontage
on the street of 1,472 feet appeared before
the committee and of that number those
representing 1.262 feet favored a street 81
feet wide, while those representing 2lO feet
wished the street to be 40 feet wide. Those
present were John Wilson, G. A.
Gehioke, H. NJ. Lord, a. 7. Way, Henry
Bushey, f. H. Simonds, A. p. Lowell and
]. B. Scully, representing Mount st.
Marys Academy.
The committee prepared a report for
the board of aldermen, recommending that
the street be reduced to 80 feet in width
the curbs on each side being moved the
required number of feet, the cost Of the
work to be paid by the city.

Business Continues Good in Burlington
According to Bradstreet's-Con-
ditions Elsewhere.
Business conditions in Vermont are not
materially changed from last week. Maple
sugar and syrup is finding ready sale for
small amounts at good prices. but 1t is
probable that producers will hold the bulk
Of the sugar for higher prices as large
dealers are unwilling to buy heavily at
present figures. Manufacturing Industries
are very active, especially in the marble,
slate and granite business. The season
was little short for lumber and large
amount of logs could not be hauled to the
mills. There Is the usual demand for job
bling goods and collections are fair. The
season thus far has not been very favor
able for retail trade, cold weather in April
having prevented active demand for sea-
sonabe goods.
Business continues good in Burlington;
the mills are busy and other manufacture
! ing concerns are doing we'll; 1t Is UNDER
stood operations will shortly commence for
the building of a large plant for the manu-
facture Of Photographic supplies The
wholesale trade Is of usual volume and
collections fair, retail trade restricted
somewhat because of the cold weather.
Montpelier reports activity in the granite
sheds and prospects reasonably good in
other lines, retail trade and collections be-
ing fair. In Barre there Is the usual activ-
ity in granite which precedes Decoration
day.
The manufacturers are very busy, with
considerable work ahead; the exchange"
is in full operation it's promoters using
their best efforts to insure It's
success and 1t has the cordial support d.
rectly and indirectly among the business
men there. Retail dealers are doing well
and much satisfa ction is expressed at the
adjustment Of labor difficulties. Rutland
reports business very good, the marble
industry having never been more crowded
with orders than at the present time. Re-
tail trade and collections are fair In Bel
lows Falls the manufacturing plants are
very busy, some of them running nights
retail trade is good and collections salts
factory. st. Johnsbury reports msnufac-
turing interests we'll employed, retail trade
good and collections fair. Bethel reports
business both in manufacturing and retail
lines about as usual. with no new features
