THE CEMETERY WALK.

The subscrip ions to the granitoid
walk to the cemetery now amount to
about $3.50. Upon surveying the
street It was found that the length
is greater than was at first thought
by about 100 feet The total cost OF
the walk will be $3.50
It would be a pity to allow this en-
terprIse TO fail at this time. Some
kind Of walk will have to be built at
once, and II a new board walk should
be built. It would be seven or eight
years before the people would again
have opportunity to make IN improve
ment which is recommended by every
consideration Of city pride and public
convenience.
The location OF the cemetery at the
end OF this street is the only consid-
Grafton which justified so expensive a
walk as granitoid, and public interest
in the cemetery is the only ground
for an appeal to the public for aid to
an improvement which otherwise
would be exclusive concern Of ada
cent property holders. AS the case
stands the public must be said to
have a real interest in this improve
ment. The subscription list may be
found at the office of j. R Moorehead.

The death Of Marcus A, Hanna
removes a type of public official un-
known in the politics OF America
until recent years. Nj. Hanna was a
business man. His training Of mind
and character was that which the
management Of large business inter-
ests affords. OF history, sociology,
and political economy he was igno-
rant But otherwise he was a nan Of
largeness of mind, aud in matters Of
legislation involving business interests
he. was sagaeious and a forceful
debater. Senator Hanna was a bigger
man and a better man than his
political enemies gave him credit for
being. His political principles were
the principles Of business. His
political morals we're the morals OF
business. His only interest 10 legis-
latiOn was in such legislation as
as affects business. His management
OF political campaigns was a business
management. He was listless and
uninterested when the matter at
issue related to the rights Of persons
He was intense and energetic when
it related to the rights Of property
He has lever said anything that will
ever he quoted, but he got things
done as business men are won't to get
things done. Men Of the type of Mr.
Hanna are products Of our Commercial
civilization. Ia politics they must
inevitably serve to shape policies &c

in the presence of servants.
When travelling, never let your Jewel-case out of
your sight for moment. This IS most important
In a late case society woman going to Boston took
a cab from her house Thirty-eghth-s to the Grand
Central Station Her jewels, valued at ten thousand
dollars, in dress-suit which was placed
the box with the driver. When she next opened
the suit case in Boston they gone. Investigation
showed that the only possible opportunity for theft
had been with the driver, whose cab had been called
from livery stable of the highest class. The driver
the thief, and had been able to open and shut
the in the short time which elapsed while he was
driving from the house to the station.
This class Of robbery the robbery route is much
common abroad than in this country. In
sundry large robberies which have taken place in
Dover and the Care du Nord in Paris, expert sneaks
were found to have been following the jewel-case
for months These the days of many short jour
neys for fashionable people and the Jewelcase always
goes with them. When the maid comes off the
steamer carrying 4 single bag the thief well knows
what is inside and plans accordingly While
such cases uncommon here. they are not
unknown.
In the late fifty thous;.ld-tiolar robbery of the
Clark Jewels, Coleman, the thief, had been waiting
his opportunity for weeks at least For that
period he had been hanging about the office of the
estate, established by woman opposite who
told that she took him for "entomologist" |

st at all he there and appeared be

This unusual departure for him To take,
up then his line haG been bank robbery He IS
an old hand, and don't know vet where he has
planted the jewels; but little thing which found
on him has given a clue.
The point, however, IS that there may be other
Cocmans watching big jevvel-cases and awaiting their
time. He would have waited for two months, or two
years, perhaps, and will they. The prize is big
enough To make it worth while
NewYork is tolerably free from this class of thieves
We can hold it down only by making it extremely
for them, and arrest them whenever and
wherever seen, upon suspicion. The result Is that
they prefer other localities where they live and
work with less risk and if they here they do
merely for their pleasure and not to ply their
trade. The magistrates could help far than
they do in dealing with these gentry in this but
that is another story.
