ThE WISE NEI0HBOR. FROM THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.

"Peter Lorillard Ronalds, who at the age of 7S has completed a 1OOO-mile coaching trip, is as wise as he is robust" said a resident of New Rochelle. "Mr Ronalds does not be- lieve in q uarreling or contention, and he told me the other day how, by the aid of little thought, he once got his rights from an unreasonable and pig headed neighbor. This neighbor kept chickens. The chickens were not properly penned in. Time and again they escaped, and, entering MT Ron alds' garden, did deal of damage there. Time and again MT Ronalds remOnstrated with the neighbor, who promised to contine his chickens bet ter, but never kept his iword. And here, where another man would have got mad, gone to law, quarreled and squabbled, MT Ronalds smiled, and ordered his butler to bring him a dozen eggs. He took these eggs into the garden, and hid them, under cover of the darkness, in the flower beds where the chickens from next door were most won't to scratch. Then, the next morning, when the neighbor was looking over the hedge, MT Ronalds sauntered down his garden paths, and, with many pauses and StOOpings, picked up one egg here and another there, till he had got the dozen, while the neigh Dor watched him with an expression of stern displeasure and surprise. From that day the next door chickens rOamed no more."

which he attempted to pass at once,
under suspension Of the rules, but
failed. 1t prohibited horse races and
other sports and games on Memorial
Day The Nebraska legisl lture has
lately enacted such law, with severe
penalties A similar bill has been in
troduced in the senate, by Senator
Hayden of Berrien.
The house also added TO the record
of the weeks work the passage of the
private bank inspection bill, which
was endorsed by the governor and
went through by good vote, after
quite an earnest contest The sup
port of the bill was much strengthen
ed by some recent failures, notably
that at Owosso. 1t is argued that
proper state inspection and super
vision would have prevented some of
those failures. Another bill passed
by the house Thursday provided for
an assistant secretary for the newly
organized state board of health, over
which there had been some discussion.
The constitution requires that the
state shall be reapportioned for repre-
sentatiye and senatorial districts after
each state census, and Senator Doh
erty on Thursday introduced two bills
for that purpose, neither of which
makes any change in the existing dis
tricts, differing in that respect from
bills already introduced in the house.
IL would be remarkable if changes in
population in ten years could leave the
ppOrtiOnment of TEL years ago at all
suitable 10 present conditions. If ii
could, it could not have been very fair
before. Comparison OF population Of
northern and southern districts, and
urban and rural districts, shows that
cOnsiderabl inequalities exist at pre-
sent. 1t would seem, however, that
the likelihood of any scheme Of ap-
portionment being enacted now, un-
less it WOULD b. the simple thing that
the senator proposes, is not at all
likely.

PORTO RIcAN BLIND ASYLUM
Stars and Stripes Raised Over me
Institution for Unfortunates
in the Island.

Porto Rico has just given another
evidence of its progressive spirit by
adding to its group of charitable in
stitutions a blind asylum, which would
be a credit to any country, and which
seems destined to do a splendid work.
1t was dedicated at Ponce a few days
ago by Gov. Winthrop, and the stars
and stripes were raised over the fine
building by Mrs. Winthrop, while a ma
tive band played THE Star-Spangled
Banner"
Mayor Valdivieso of Ponce welcomed
the gubernatorial party, and Charities
Supervisor Haeselbarth presented to
the governor a huge silver key deco
rated with Porto Rican colors. After
Gov. Winthrop had formally declared
the building opened a throng inspected
the asylum and paid their respects to
Mr.. and Mrs. Winthrop. At night
there vas a ball and fireworks to close
the fiesta. The governor, in his dedi-
catory speech, said, after reviewing
the history of the asylum to date:
"The infirmity to be here treated is
one that naturally wakens the spirit
of sympathy and charity, which so
especially distinguishes the inhab-
itants of this island, and which has
been so noticeable in the cases of the
four institutions under the same de-
partment, namely, the insane asylum,
the boys charity school, the girls
school and the leper hospital on
Cabras island.
1T has been demonstrated that 1t
is quite possible to teach the blind
a great variety of useful occupations,
and | foresee that this asylum will
in time develop into a school for
those trades which require only dex-
terity and the sense Of touch. l fore
see also hat institution will become
an important factor in disseminating
elementary principles of the care of
the eyes"
1t is a noteworthy fact that every
officer and employe of the new asylum
is a Porto Rican. 1t will be at the
start both a hospital and a home.
The most urgent cases from the vari-
Gus municipalities will first be Sc
lected, and by degrees, as the cures
are effected, the demand for a hospital
of this class will diminish and more
Importance will be given to it's char
acter as a home for the incuraple.
The building, with its furnishings,
is worth $4,000, and is an ideal site
on a hill overlooking Ponce Iand the
Caribbean sea. The furnishings are
American throughout. AsJthe work
expands the capacity will pe enlarged.
The legislative assembly Of Porto. Rico
has provided for mainte4ance; tha5O

SHEEP-There was a moderate run OF
sheep here today about twenty-eight loads
being on sale. II was about 1880 this morn
ing before any OF the sheep came In and
as a result the market was very slow in
opening 1t was not due to any weakness
OF the trade, however, that buyers and
sellers did not get together until well along
Toward midday; II was simply the fault OF
the railroads. The market at this point
is In very satisfactory condition and there
ls good strong demand for all grades of
sheep especially for feeders. Receipts on
tue opening day OF the week were liberal
and the trade was strong and about the
same conditions prevailed today. As soon
as the sheep arrived and were shaped up
buyers and sellers got together and there
was considerable activity to the trade, with
prices steady TO strong.
There was a good feeder supply here. and
a good strong demand, with plenty OF or

lighter than the corresponding day last
year. The quality OF the cattle was fairly
good and there was fair sprinkling of
corn feds on sale
There was little life to the trade on beef
steers, although buyers were picking up
the stun right along. There was very little
call for native beef and sellers found It
very hard to move even at decline. Buy
ers were Indifferent on this class of cattle
and some Of the stun was practically un-
saleable. A decline OF l5d90c was noted
on these cattle, both on the good and COM
mon grades. Western cattle, which con-
stituted the big end of the receipts, were
in considerable demand and were quoted
fully steady. Buyers seemed to want cattle
OF this kind and they moved freely at the
prices.
There was a good supply of COWS and
