The other day The Star noted editorially
the nuisance OF hand-bills being thrust into
letter boxes and thrown into doorways
eventually to find their way into the streets,
to be blown about by the winds and thus to
give the city dirty appearance A corre-

today to call attention to the disorderly
habit of people throwing all kinds of waste
paper upon the streets. AS he states the
men employed by the outdoor advertising
agencies strip old posters from the board

ground. to be caught up eventually by the
winds and swept away in fantastic dances.

be reason for the Commissioners to secure
either another Interpretation Of the law

Mr.. Bryan's Fortune.
Says the Philadelphia Press:

Colonel Bryan has been telling how
much he is worth. and the amount is more
than twice what it would have been On the

Yes. but be just. 1t is probably twenty
times as much as it would have been had
he never taken up the silver question
What would have proved the country's poi
son has proved Mr.. Bryan's meat. The elo-
quent young man who stood before the
Chicago convention seven years ago and
inveighed against the gold standard was
but very moderately supplied with this

tinuous humping he has given that stand

the standard and Mr.. Bryan have thrived
as the result Of his activity. Silence ordi-

speech SO. And he Is reaping an abundant
harvest from his discovery. He himself

Mr.. Carnegie at Tuskegee.

There is good news probably for all who
are interested in Booker Washington s
work In the announcement that Andrew
Carnegie is soon to spend a day at Tuske-
gee and inspect the institution. Successful
as Prof. Washington has been in his labors,
and generous his collections have been
from many sources, he has yet not been
able to carry out many of his plans for
want Of means. Mr.. Carnegie's visit, there
fore, may result in lift which will as
sist Prof. Washington to realize some of
his more ambitious views. Mr.. Carnegie
sights no worthy object. and it is difficult
to conceive of worthier one than that at
Iuskegee, whose ends are practical, patri-
otto and helpful to everybody. Men and
women trained In that school give a good
account Of themselves in the everyday
work of the world. AS a rule, they are
credit to their race.
