The primary law in express words re-
Quires the primary election officers to
be apportioned among the various
candidates and factions so that they
shall all have representation as nearly
equal as may be. To put this mandate
into practical operation the candidates
have the right to suggest names for APP
pointment on the election boards and
the committee can fill these places only
where the candidates fail to demand
representation. The 'anti-machine" ma
chine, however, has shown its disregard
for tine law by giving the opposing fac
ton Just three places out of twenty
sever and d~epriving 1t of representation
altogether IN six of the nine election
boards. Imagine If you can the howl
that would have been emitted by the
'antis" had the old machine played the
game with such a high hand as this.

An extremely interesting description is
published In the Sun of a citadel which
one OF New York's eminent gambler barons
is erecting. 1t is situated in Forty sixth
street, Just of Fifth avenue, and is to be
as nearly impregnable as steel and oak can
make 1t. Ali the windows are to have
screen iron gates behind their colored
glass, built into the castings and capable of
being drawn at a moments notice, or at the
sound Of a Tip" Massive oak and steel
bound doors will guard the entrance, which
would try the strength Of a battering
ram" All the rear windows will be pro-
tected with iron bars, a heavy iron gate
will guard the area entrance to the base
ment, and the door within the gate will be
heavily buttressed and fortified. The en-
trance from the roof will be guarded by a
heavy iron door. Finally, the heavy doors
at the main entrance have the usual peep
mole. with sliding panel, through which the
usual colored person can keep a sharp eye
upon the approach and sound the warning
for drawing all the steel gates at doors and
windows.
Within the fortress there will be luxury
and artistic elegance without regard to ex-
pense. There will be a $50, 900 marble stair
case, a sreat room, occupying the entire
parior floor, with a ceiling zone blaze Of
gold leaf worked In fantastic designs"
with walls in white and gold, with marble
pillars, with costly works Of art hanging
from wall and column. and with furniture
which In refined beauty win rival the Chip
pendale collection In the chaste ''home" of
the art collecting Canield. Incidentally,
there will be elegant gambling ~parapher-
MALTA OF all kinds scattered through the
rooms.

A New York lawyer Of note was asked
what change had come over the courts that
permitted wills to be go frequently invali-
dated. He replied: "Ws hold today that
a father and mother are responsible for the
welfare of the children they bring into the
world, and that no matter how bad such
children may be, they must not be made
a charge upon the community, but must be
cared for by their parents II unable to SUD-
port themselves. A recent case, for in
stance: A man worth some 500, 900, 900 cuts
on a hayward son. his excuse being that
the boy is incapable of taking care OF
himself or his fortune. By what right
does that father make his son an outcast ?
You may safely wager that the will is to
be broken unless the rest of the children
agree to an equal division. Young Cor
nelius Vanderbilt could have broken his
father Will and would have done 1t II he
had not married a very rich girl and his
brother had not come down so handsomely.
He is worth $40, 900. 900 today, which Is
enough for anybody"

New York importers say that snails, as
an article Of diet. are growing popular in
that city. Owing to the increased demand
caterers who have been in the habit Of i'm
porting $4,000 snails every week from
France and Italy are now ordering them in
larger quantities. In addition to the regu-
lar small sellers there are at least half a
dozen families in the old French quarter
OF New York who cultivate the mollusk
for their own tables. They cater also to
the wants Of ~compatriots who prefer to buy
from a neighbOr rather than ratronize the
importers shop, in which a much higher
price Is demanded. One old Frenchman,
who occupies the parlor floor and basement
Of a house in Blocker street, maintains a
iourishing s~nailery which is a source OF
profit to him and entails little or no labor.
At present he has over 5000 Of the little
horned creatures in his snail plant and he
Is considering the advisability of cult
waiting them on a still larger scale this
spring.

A plaintive note comes from New YORK,
where a woman with four young children
managed after a subterfuge to get into a
fiat, from which she was promptly ex-
PEELED. She complains that an old maid
in the same house was allowed to keep six
cats. three dogs and a parrot. all of which
were nuisances to her mind, but she had
to go with her children, while the ZOO
logical collection remained with the old
maid. 1t is pretty tough on posterity when
dogs and cats and parrots can be cared
for while children are ignored or sat upon
and in this case the old maid was the one
thai made the complaint and put the chill
dren out Of house and home.

ROUND ABOUT NEW YORK.
Ripples on the Current Of Life In the
Metropolis.

metropolhAs
There died in New York the other day a
man who had run through a fortune Of $780,
900 bequeathed to him by his father only
a few years ago. Never MIND his name.
He was only a type. The only distinction
he ever achieved was that Of being judicially
adjudged a high roller. In a decision af-
fecting him the court said; THE defendant
in this case is reckless and profgate, going
from bad to worse, so that he was pleased
upon the witness stand to acknowledge him
self a high roller, a term which means a
sporty man who rolls round during the
night, an overgenerous man. a spendthrift
and a giver OF entertainments to friends In
which sobriety plays but a small part. ="
And this decision now stands in some OF
the dictionaries Of slang as the proper def
milton Of a high roller.
A. J. Cassatt, president OF the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company, was examined yes
terday before the commission to which the
tunnel and terminal plans of his corpora
ton are to be submitted, reports the Brook
Ign Eagle. Mr. Cassatt offered some new
facts that are interesting, II not new. He
said that the proposition to tunnel the
North and East rivers was largely his own.
He said that the terminal to be erected in
Manhattan would be the biggest railroad
station in the world, with accommodations
for the handling Of 200, 900 passengers a day,
or about 10000, 900 or so, 900 900 a year; that
anywhere from sixty to ninety trains would
enter and leave It hourly; that the tunnels
would be lighted and trains moved through
them by electricity, and that they would
not be used for the transportation Of freight.
These last statements will help to dlspel
the fears Of those who are apprehensive
OF tunnels on general principles. The use
Of electricity for lighting and purposes Of
locomotion will keep the air in the tunnels
clear and pure and will reduce the danger
Of accidents to a minimum by making the
obscuring OF signals practically impossible.
Freight trains will not be sent through the
tunnels, for the reason that the freight
can be more easily and cheaply handled b,
a system of floats from Greenville in New
Jersey to Bay Ridge.

 On Friday evening service was held in the church. The preacher was Rev George E Quaile, rector of St Austin's school. Salisbury His text was St Luke 10: 3s. 39, the subject being the Lord in the home at Bethany. He dwelt on the comfort and rest which it must have been to Christ to go to such homo and drew the. lesson of Christ in our homes to sanctify every joy and sweeten every sorrow.
 Rev MT Quaile also assisted the Rector in the celebration of the Holy Communion at from W the text, Romans F: ?: :'Be W ye not % con- formed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.' The sermon showed what is meant by conformity to the ard set by the world: That standard is very variable, being higher for women than for men, and changing with circumstances. Sometimes the worlds standard is a high re- !igious one. as in the case of the Pharisees. ed not only in degree but in kind. The one shapes the :outer life, the other renews the heart. It is spiritual and radical.
