CONFESSION.

When was young made VOW
To keep youth in my heart as long
A there were birds upon the bough
To gladden. me with song;
To learn what lessons Life might give,
To do my duty as I saw,
To love my friends, to laugh, and live
Not holding Death in awe.
So all my lyrics sing of joy,
And shall until my lips are mutei
In old age happy as the boy
To whom God gave the lutte.

When sheobtains an engagement there
is much morepreparadon necessary than
rubbing up her knowledge Of the work
to be given, and singing the rehearsal
often public the local chorus
the day Or the Afternoon before the
performance. She must watch for
draughts; a cold would disable her
completely. She must be constantly
careful Of the atmosphere she
breathes.
She receives in compensation two,
three or four thousand dollars, from
which must be deducted many ex-
penses. There are probably not doz-

ers who clear ten thousand dollars a
year from singing, including one thou
sand or fifteen hundred dollars they re-
ceive from churches or synagogues.
And the study and work they did at
the start was only beginning of study
and work they must do all their life.
OF the rest, a few make a considerable
amount Of money by being invited to
wealthy private houses. singing for
people there and receiving checks the
next day for their kindness. The vast
majority of the remainder exist ON
twenty-five and fifty dollar concert
work, or take to teaching, or drift into
comic opera, or in the end weary of it

sI0SBEE'S LITTLE JOKE.

He Did Not Enjoy Having His WHO
Turn the Tables.
Just before Admiral Sigsbee left
League Island to assume command OF
the South Atlantic squadron he told
the following little joke on Mrs. sigs-
bee Shortly after the Spanish-Ameri-
can war was over he and his wife were
In Washington. Several of the en-
ployes Of the government departments
expressed q wish to see the hero OF
the Maine in the flesh, and 50 day
was appointed for the Sigsbees to visit
some of the buildings. On entering
the Treasury Building Admiral Sigs-
bee, who admits that his powers Of
observation are very keen SO far as
young women are concerned, noticed
that there were sprinkled around in
various parts of the building several
very attractive looking women.
Admiral Sigsbee kept quiet for g.
few moments, and then turned, with
a whimsical smile in his keen brown
eyes, to Mrs Sigsbee and the officials
who accompanied them, and said:
Don't you think that If our friend
Mr.. Hobson considers it his especial
privilege to kiss all the pretty girls
in sight, that I, as an old grandfather,
ought to have the same privilegeY
Mrs. Sigsbee, who prides herself on
being able to keep up with the nimble
wit of the Admiral, answered the ques-
ton.
Certainly" she said, and she glanc-
ed significantly at number of good
looking young men who were interest
ed spectators, provided you allow me
the same privilege"
"Oh," laughed the Admiral, pretend
ing not to notice her real meaning, ''aa
far as that is concerned, should not
think there would be any objection to
you kissing the girls, either"

THE plsPENsARY RECORD.

At the suggestion of citizens who
were curious to know just how the mat
ter stands, Mayor Willis and Alder
man White have made a careful COM
parison of the police records Of drunk
and disorderly arrests for the year pre-
ceding May 25, 1902, the date of the
establishment of the dispensary, with
the year Immediately following.
The number of arrests made by the
police during the year commencing
May rs, 1901 and ending May rs, 1902,
was 43.
The aggregate amount Of the fines
collected during the year commencing
May 25, 1901 and ending May rs, 1902,
was s196.
The number Of arrests made by the
police during the year commencing
May Is, 1902, and ending May rs, 1908
was 143.
The aggregate amount Of fines col
lected during the year commencing
May 25, 1902 and ending May rs, 1903,
was s523.45.
The arrests under the dispensary 1t
will be noted are over three times more
numerous than previously, and the ag-
gregate amount Of the fines nearly
three times as great.
AS the result Of their investigation,
Messrs. Willis and White noted that
the fines imposed have been much
lighter on an average since the estab-
lishment Of the dispensary than pre-
viously. They account for this very
reasonably as follows:
Formerly the disorderly element was
confined more closely to the more vi
cious class-blind tigers and their ilk.
and the fines were made commensurate
with the offenses, as far as it lay in
the power Of the presiding official to
do so. Since then, the offenders have
included a large percentage Of the bet
ter element of citizenship-people who
transgress only occasionally, and who
ordinarily forfeit small bonds rather
than appear in the police court.

about $50 feet long, across deep Lack
water on one side and running into a
bluff on the other side. AS has been
stated, the company Is building the
bridge Of its own accord, feeling bound
to do so because back water from the
dam had made the road impossible at
this point. The work was commenced
without previous understanding with
the board of commissioners. The sur
vey made by the board on Wednesday
developed that all kinds Of timber was
being used, including round poles with
the bark on, etc. The commissioners
are concerned with the question as to
whether they will be warranted In as
Stunning the responsibility for struct-
ure that promises to be so expensive
in the matter Of maintenance. They
decided that they were not warranted
in so doing, and told the power people
so. There was talk on the part Of the
power people of carrying the matter
to the courts for settlement, and the
commissioners intimated that that
would be as good way as any. No
understanding has been reached.

NOTE AND COMM ENT.

Because of the heavy shipments Of
fertilizers that are being made at this
time, the C. & NV. freight trains are
running behind their schedules.
Although about sixty people have
either called or sent in written re-
quests for Senator Latimer's seeds, we
still have a number Of packages on
hand. They may be obtained by those
who ask for them.
Senator Brice's bill to allow coun-
ties to vote on the removal Of dispen-
saries passed the senate yesterday with
amendments providing that counties
that have no dispensaries shall receive
no share Of the dispensary profits for
their school funds, and in addition they
must pay an extra half mill levy for
the support of the constabulary.
From what has been published so far
1t seems that Baltimore does not de-
sire outside help on account Of her
terrible fire disaster. We have notified
the mayor of the SIS subscribed in this
office, and requested him to draw up
on us for the amount. If there is re-
quest for help for the stricken city,
it will no doubt be forthcoming.
New York drummers who were in
Yorkville Monday and Tuesday wait
ing on the dry goods trade received
dispatches from their houses not to sell
any more goods until they should re-
ceive further instructions by mail.
These kilograms are assumed to have
some connection with the Baltimore
fire. There were millions Of dollars
worth of dry goods in Baltimore, and
the greater portion Of them were de-
stroyed in the fire. This would mean
a curtailment Of the supply and conse-
quently an increase in price. The
New York merchants are evidently ar
ranging to get all that might be COM
ing to them in the shape Of larger
profits.
The county board Of commissioners
went over to the river Wednesday to
take a look at the bridge that the Ca
