A bartender in New York, according TO
the Sun Of that city, sent the following
letter to his aunt residing in the country:
Dear Aunt Clarissa: / got your nice
Thanksgiving box with the turkey and
things ali right. They came in fine shape.
None of the cranberry got spilled and there
wasn't a single crack in the pie crust.
The next day l got your letter, asking
me how l was and about my job.
'I have a very good job in the hay mar
ket. You know that in this big city there
are all kinds OF great markets. There's the
fish market down by Fulton street, and the
stock market and big general meat and
produce markets. Then there is the hay
market, where am. The fish markets and
those others l spoke of are way down in
the lower part of the city, but the hay
market is almost three. miles north Of
them, up in the general direction Of the
big hay growing districts in the northern
part OF the state. The Young Mems Chris
tian association has got a large stone build
ing within ten minutes walk Of the hay
market and there are a great many churches
near by.
my Job is in the hay seed department.
We receive a great deal of it from the
country In original packages and 1t is
treated by a new-fangled process. we SUD-
| ject each separate hay seed to a treatment
by fluids. Sometimes, II the seed has been
in the city long enough to get hard and
slippery, certain chemicals are put in the
liquids. When so treated with the liquids
the seeds become soggy and soft, or easy
as the technical term Is. and whatever there
is OF value In them is easily extracted.
A great many young women are employed
in removing the commercial properties from
the seeds.
Then the original packages are thrown
out and become what is known in business
affairs as a by-product for the city. That
is, they are taken to the great Jefferson
market, where the city can get, usually,
from 81 to s. apiece for them. Most Of the
packages are finally returned to the country
to be reflled.
"I shall be delighted to get the mittens
and warm worsted bed shoes which you
mentioned for Christmas, but please don't
send them to the hay market. Send them
TO my boarding house. Your fond nephew,
JAMES.
"P. S.-If you ever come to New York
don't come TO The hay market, to take me
by surprise, because they don't allow visl-
tors. / should love TO be surprised, but
II would be better for you to let me know
that you are coming, so I can meet you
at the station and take you right to the
boarding house. JAMES"

Representatives Of the New York Ameri-
can and Journal have bought the block of
land facing the Grand circle at Fifty-ninth
street, and bounded on its other three
sides by Broadway, Eighth avenue and Fifty
eighth street. A twenty-story building is
to be erected on the site and the American
and Journal will move into It as soon as it
can be completed, probably by the time the
rapid transit subway is in operation.
Though comprising an entire block, the
plot embraces only about ZOO square feet,
or less than two city lots. The cost of the
land was said to be s4OO, 900. Like the
similar sites selected by the Herald at
Thirty-ffth street and the Times at Long
acre square, this has four f%rontages, an
important matter for newspapers, which
need much light. On the fourth side a great
advantage will be the immediate connection
that will be made with the subway, assur-
ing prompt and inexpensive delivery of the
papers.

A cadaverous looking stranger called for
a glass of port wine in the cafe on west
Eighteenth street. The bartender placed a
bottle Of wine before the stranger and gave
him the usual empty glass and one filled
with water; he then turned to another man
with a thirst.
In making change at the cash register the
bartender, in CONSERVATION, said he saw the
stranger deliberately bite the neck OF the
bottle off.
Hold on thersi' shouted the bartender.
The stranger nodded laconically and went
on chewing the neck of the bottle which he
had bitten off. Then, according to the bar
tender, the customer poured himself out a
second glass of wine and then, after drink
ing 1t, carelessly took a bite out of the
glass and chewed 1t with gusto.
This proved too much for the bartender's
nerves and he ran from behind the bar.
Seeing him coming, the stranger, 1t was
alleged, picked up the glass containing the
water, bit the side out of it and threw the
relics of his meal at the disturber thereof.
They struck the bartender, he alleges, on
the temple and inflicted a few cuts.
When arrested he said he was William

facilities in our parish is in
creasing from year to year, and
this demand is far in excess of
the ordinary funds under the
control of the School Board, and
unless additional funds be sup
piled for the purpose OF the
schools wewill be bound to suffer
in one way or another, and our
children will be heavy losers by
the operation.
1t is this enlightened view the
people of Lafayette parish are
now taking of the question of
public education. and hence
their earnest interest in, and
popular support of, the PROPOSE
ton to levy a special tax of B
mills to be used exclusively for
the maintenance and improve
ment of the public schools. And
this popular interest is being
manifested at the various mass
meetings at which the PROPOSE
ton has been presented and dis
cussed, by the large number of
property holders who readily
sign the petition to the Police
Jury asking that the question be
submitted to popular vote. At
the three meetings already held
for the purpose, viz: Broussard-
vile, Carencro and Ridge Tin the
second ward), the sentiment
seemed to be practically unani-
nous in favor of the special tax
for schools, and it is already
quite evident that the PROPOSE
ton will receive little or no OPP
position when formally sub
mitted to the taxpayers at the
election to be called for that pur-
pose.

THE POPULAR MOVEMENT.
The friends of public educa-
ton have every reason to feel
pratified with the intense popu-
lar support that is being given
to the campaign for a special
school tax in Lafayette parish.
It is a movem ent of the people
them selves, this movement for
providing additional funds to be
used in extending the advantages
of general education in our par
ish.
Comfortable and convenient
and attractive school houses,
and full school terms of ten
months, are necessary condl-
tions for the proper education OF
our children, and the employ
ment of competent teachers is OF
the first Importance. Without
all three Of these factors work
ing in com bination we CANNOT
have entirely satisfactory re-
suits. And as education forms
such an essential element in the
life of every man and woman, 1t
would be the poorest kind OF
economy on the part of the peo-
pie to refuse to give all the aid in
their power toward the extern
sion of our public school system.
The need of greater school

SCIENCE =. THE MOSQUITO.

Inc new orleans papers XII
nounce that in spite of all that
has been done and said the fes-
tive mosquito is to have another
season of uninterrupted pleasure
in the Crescent City. It will be
remembered that the doctors
met in New Orleans some time
ago and agreed thai the mosqui-
to is one of the greatest convey
ers Of germ known to science.
It was SAID by the learned
medicos that the female mosqui-
to is most active during yellow
fever epidemics and takes special
delight in inoculating people
with the bacteria of that dread
disease. The medical profess
sion enlisted the powerful sup
port of the press in the merciless
war which it was proposed to
wage against the offending insect.
Ordinances, which vowed eternal
vengeance and aimed at complete
humiliation, were framed by the
municipal lawmakers who felt
that it was the duty Of the State
to work hand in hand with
science when the very life of the
community was threatened by
common danger. The time was
ripe for action. Men learned
in science, who stood at the head
of a great profession, announced
that the comm unity would soon
be visited by several billion mos
quitoes, each carrying in its bill
on assortment of deadly germs.
Under these circums tances it
was natural that cautious men
should prepare for the invasion,
and plans were made both for
a defensive and aggressive cam
paign Everybody seemed de-
termined to kill or starve out as
many mosquitoes as his abilities
would permit. Despite the fact
that for 10! these several hum
dred years the mosquito had
been a regular, and, as far as is
known, a harmless, visitor, none
was so poor as to do him rever-
ence. The fates seemed to be
against him. Science adjudged
him guilty of a heinous crime.
The law fixed the penaltydeath.
But it does not appear to be in
the power of human wisdom to
execute the sentence. And it is
this inability to carry out the
sentence which inclines The
Gazette to the opinion that the
mosquito will be with us yet for
many generations, and while
peddling his germs he will con-
tinue to sing lullabies on the
heads of bald-headed men and
make life a burden to bObtailed |
horses.

Wallace Butter,ck, the secretary of the
board, in an address recently made at
Raleigh, N. &. I'VE have no thought of
coloniziug Northern teachers at the South
or of propagatng Northern IDEAS at the
South Quite the contrary. We believe
that the teachers of the South must be the

selves simply as silent partners ,sthe great

needed to verify what DIR. But,crick here
says, il would surely be found in the atti-
tude taken by DIR. Robert &. Ogden, the
president Of the board, respecting the Union
League Clubs recent resolutions regarding
the race question. The resolutions, it will
be remembered, Endorsed the policy OF
President Roosevelt respecting the negro
problem; and it was to the active opposition
of Dr. Ogden that the resolutions were de-
fea,ed by the leading Republican organiza-
ton in the United States. For that service
the intelligent Southern people of both
races are profoundly grateful to DIR. Ogden.

Southern Education he has come in close

j. Pierpont Morgan's words
are hardly uttered, his words of
reinsurance regarding the GER
tainty of a continuance of our
marvellous prosperity, when
Wall street receives another of
those shocks that are Fremont
tory of a general crash.
This slump in stock values,
with it's consequent panic, is
sharp reminder of the gaseous
character of our much boosted
prosperity. It depends not up
on wealth production and a
normally increasing volume of
the values of wealth produced,
but upon an imitation of the
values Of special privileges
of one kind and another. 1t is
the prosperity of the gambling
hell, and not of the goods market.
Like air in a bladder, all these
inflated values may be let out
with a pin puncture.
The puncture which brought
on the Wall street panic was
made by those Federal judges
who have decided that the
Northern Securities company
the holding corporation for the
consolidation of the north
western Railroads.&c. an il
legal conspiracy. Under this
decision all corporations for
strangling competitition in inter-
State commerce are within the
shadow of the Sherman law;
and as our fake" prosperity is
bound up in the manipulation of
such organization the decision
gives it a rude shock.
1t is con fidently believed,
however, that the Northern
Secu rites decision, if sustained
by the Supreme Court, will
put an end to the evils Of trusts.
Nothing could well be wider of
the mark. The trust evil is not
due to the consolidation Of
industries. It is due to the
monopoly factor in industries.
In railrOading. for instance,
there is no harm in the CONSOLE
dalton of interests in rolling stock
and all rails being monopolized,
new rolling stock and rails could
be quickly produced. That fact
alone would prevent such mono
POLKA ton. But there is harm in
the consolidation of monopoly
in rights of way and
terminals. 1t is this and only
this that makes railroad comb
nations a formidable public
enemy.
Even here it is not the conso-
lidation of these privileges but
their existence, whether conso-
lidated or not, that constitutes
the root of the evil. If railway
did not exist they
could not be consolidated. But
so long as they do exist they
will be consolidated, courts and
Judges to the con trary nOtwith-
standing. The Northern Securi-
lies decision though affirmed by |
5he Supreme Court, will effect
nothing permanent. When it is
certain that railroad privileges
IAN no longer be consolidated by
