LIFE IN THE SUBURBS.
There Is One Thing About 1t That
Saves II from Being Altogether
UnbenrabIc.

The man who has been remarking
ST told YOU so" to his room mate at
the office who built n house in the
suburbs and moved into it last fall
chuckled gleefully as the man who
lives in the suburbs appeared half an
hour late the first morning OF the re-
cent snowstorm, relates the Washing
ton Star.
Il told you s." began the gleeful
chuckler. He was interrupted by
the other, who was not in particular
lv happy frame of mind, and who
sneered:
"Yes, you told me so, of course
You've been telling me SO for the past
six months If you hope that | will
eventually believe it, why keep it up"
BY no means abashed, the city man
proceeded with the attack. Great
sport hustling for the car through the
snow, isn't it?" he went on TO say.
Especially fine, this waiting in the
open for the better part of an hour
and the road tied up and no prospect
of the cars ever running again. S'pose
you are prepared to say you couldn't
get along without such exercise. OF
course, you can't imagine how you
ever managed to exist when you didn't
have to jump up from the breakfast
table and dash half a mile through
icy drifts and then stand still and

nowhere. Maybe you're sorry now. ]
told you So"
The man who built a house in the
suburbs by this time had removed his
overcoat and rubber boots and was
warming himself in front of the fur
mace register.
"I'll admit life outside the city linn
it's entails some Inconvenience during
extraordinary weather such as pre-
walls to-day" he said, quietly. "But
there is one consolation. When ]

within rather narrow limit. An
Englishman keeps more pairs of
trousers on hand at one time than
an American, but wears them longer.
He has some kind of contraption for
keeping them stretched out to shape.
Same way with shoes. He won't
travel even with less than ten pairs;
and he has trees for each pair of
shoes. An American wouldn't bother
with the things. But suppose your
shoes al made on your own last, fit
ting perfectly, and freed when not in
use. They last longer and look bet
ter. Never get too old to wear, in
fact"
do you make many clothes for
Englishmen
More than you'd suppose. One
fellow in London buys four suits u
year, four and no more. An English
man is methodical Get him started
and he keeps along. That makes him
a good customer. Our prices are
lower here for the best work. Not
| because wages or material favor the
American tailor, but the credit sys-
tenn over there is bad for the average
customer. You can't get measured

you can't pay a bill if you try. They
send you accounts, but they don't ex-
pect to be paid. You send a little
'on account, and it's all right. That
takes capital, and it takes high prices
to make up for losses by bad debts.
One thing with another, it's profit
able for the swell tailor in London;
nobody can get his business away.
| But the American way is cheaper,
and Enghshmen begin to find it out,
just as young bloods in New York
are more and more sending to Lon

CORRUPTION IN ST. LOUIS.
The Grand Jury Presents ScnthtnE
Charges Against Aldermen and
City Officials

st. Louis, April z. Charges that
startled ST. Louis were made by the
February grand jury, which has been
investigating bribery and official cor
ruption in the municipal assembly, III
its final report to Judge O'Neill Ryan
Saturday. In this report system of
bribery and corruption, the extent OF
which astounds ST. Louis, is laid bare.
Members of the houselof delegates are
charged with being of the lowest or
der of intelligence, some without
moral sense or ordinary reasoning
power, some combining a perverted
sense of morality with the lowest form
Of cunning, groveling instincts and sor-
did desires. The report cites instance
after instance of huge brides given and
offered almost without effort at con-
cealment by the agents of corpora
lions, especially street car companies,
for the purpose of securing franchises.
Men high in corporation circles OF
the city, directors of street railroad
companies, men who are financial
leaders, the jury SAYS, have freely put
up money knowing it was to be used
to purchase franchises, and while some
of these men are beyond the reach OF
the law because the evidence is INSULT
cient to convict in trial court, yet
they are "morally convicted and
damned" The report declares but q
small proportion of those who deserve
to wear felon's stripes have been in
dicted.
Three indictments already made pub
lie were returned Saturday. They
were: Bribery, Robert NJ. Snyder; at
tempted bribery, Edward Butler; per-
jury, George j. Kobusch. More indict-
ments were found, but they have not
yet been made public, and many high
street railway men, politicians and
members of the house of delegates are
shiveriucr with aDprehensiOn.

had something of more than usual
moment to tell. BY the way, there
are men in the executive departments,
many of whom are worthy to sit in
the senate or any other high public
place, and this man is one of them. He
is a veteran in the civil service, and
also a veteran of the civil war. He was
at one time an.intimate friend of Gen.
Grant, and of others in that glorious
galaxy of soldiers and statesmen. He

A DESPERATE NEGRO.
Wounds Seven-He Is Slain and
His Body burned.

Birmingham, Ala, April IA special
to the Age-Herald from Tuscumbia,
Ala, says: Three men are dead, three
mortally wounded and four seriously
wounded as the result of Sheriff Gas
saSay attempting on Sunday to ar
rest Win Reynolds, desperate negro.
The dead are: Hugh Jones, Bob Wal
lace and VIII Reynolds. The fatally
wounded are: Sheriff Charles Gas
saway. shot through the arm and alb
domen; VIII Gassaway, shot through
abdomen; 2. A. Prout, shot through
stomach. The seriously wounded are:
- Payne, shot through chest; jim
Finney, shot through right shoulder;
Robert Patterson, shot through leg;
Jesse Davis, shot through jaw.
All the foregoing casualties, except
the death of Reynolds himself, are the
result Of the deadly fire of Reynolds
with 45-caliber Winchester. The ne
gro was in his turn riddled and thrown
into fire.
Sunday morning at II o'clock Sher-
if Gassaway went TO Il negro settle
ment, ''Knardtown." to arrest VIII
Reynolds for obtaining goods under
false pretense. The officer was met
by the negro, who opened fire with
a Winchester, wounding the sheriff,
and Immediately firing upon the dep
uty, viii Gassaway, who was some 800
yards away, mortally wounding him.
AS soon as possible every man in town
who could procure gun was in the
| neighborhood, but owing to the loca-
ton none dared to venture within the
open space. Dynamite was procured,
and the house in which the negro was
barricaded was fired upon, but to no
effect. At one o'clock Capt. Simpson,
of the Wheeler rifles. arrived with IL
guns and 1000 cartridges, which were
| distributed among IL picked men.
This company was stationed around
the house and riddled it, but the ne
gro had taken refuge in the cellar and
returned the fire, killing Jones and
wounding Finney.
Coal oil was then procured, and aft
er four hours of hard work the
houses adjoining that in which the
negro was located were fired. About
eight o'clock the house in which the
negro was located was fired by the
Wheeler rifles, who had arrived on
the scene. The negro took refuge in
shed and opened fire, killing Wal
lace and wounding Davis, but the peo-
pie and some militiamen riddled the
negro and the crowd, numbering
! 1000, grabbed the body and threw it
in the burning building. Wallace, who
was killed, was closing in on the nc
gro, who shot him through the body.
His body fell in the burning debris
but was recovered. Davis, Wallace
and Falkner were the men who fired
the building. Relic seekers cut off
the negroes fingers and such parts of
the body as could be procured.
Three houses were burned in the
effort to reach the negro. Several
horses were killed in the battle. IT
is reported that the sheriff and his
brother have no chance to live. So
deadly was the Negroes aim that il
was possibly an hour before the body
of Prout could be recovered. Not a
shot was fred by Reynolds that did not
| tell when those whom he was firing
\ upon were seen. The excitement is
/ intense
