There's a new faker in the subway, and
his special victims are southernsrs OF the
old school. He is a versatile negro, with
the stamp of the old-time darky upon him"
said a commuter, quoted by the New
York Sun. i've seen him work hts game
several times, and it's the easiest work
any man of his color does north OF Mason
and Dixon's line. He hangs around the
Grand Central station until he spies some
southern tourist coming in from some
northern trip. He can spot them every
time. More than this, nearly every
southerner carries a satchel, always
tagged with his name and that OF his town
and state.
THAT subway CRATER keeps his eyes
peeled for the tag About a week, ago a
big slouch-hatted man and a quaint little
old-fashioned woman boarded the down
town train. The man carried a bag marked
Petersburg. Va The darky who always
manages somehow to get a seat. eyed the
tag, then got 10 his feet, seemingly with

Thrown overheard, imprisoned in a heavy

senger on the French liner Gascogne, just
before 1t left its pier, a green and red
Mexican parrot forced itself between the

screaming in Spanish to be saved.

he was told that there would be a charge of

ROUND ABOUT NEW York.
RippIes on the Current of Life In the
Metropolis.


Wife desertion is crowding divorces for
the record in New York City. Both evils
are classed as grave menaces to domestic
life. While strenuous EFFORTS are put forth
to check divorce there is no adequate
remedy for wife desertion. One day last
week a crowd OF over 100 deserted wives
and mob Of children appeared IN one Of
| the police courts, each woman demanding
warrant for her husband, charging de-
sertlon and nonsupport. Magistrate Pool
issued twenty-five warrants. tho remaining
cases going over for investigation.
Later, in discussing the problem, the
magistrate said
THE large number Of cases that are COM
Ing before magistrates in the police courts
show the grave nature Of the problem that
the lawmakers must face.
when a man tires of a wife, or is at
tracted by pretty face, all that he has
to do is to refuse to support his wife, and
then when she has him summoned before
me, he can give a bond for the payment
Of a weekly sum and go free Of interference
from the woman or from the law. l am
glad to say that in the largest number Of
cases that appear before me the husband
is of foreign birth.
"A serious side to the problem is that
women appeal to the police court for aid
only when they have exhausted every other
means of bringing the husband back to
them.
when a woman appeals TO me for aid
only can summon the husband and force
him to give a bond for the payment of a
stated sum each week. II he refuses I
can send him to the workhouse. Many
prefer to go to the workhouse to paying
their wives anything at ALL"
DO wives often abandon their hus-
bands?"
mo, not once in 10000 times, should
say from my experience. Certainly
such instances among the class Of people
with whom we deal are rare. l do not at
this time personally recall such case"
According to the city magistrates, about
half Of all the wives who are abandoned in
New York remain self-supporting, al
though they drag along on miserable pit
tances. The other half are taken care Of
either by the city, in its public charitable
institutions, or by churches or private in
stitutional charity. The children thus for
saken by their fathers are, in large num-
ber Of cases placed in asylums. from where
they are frequently sent to remote parts
of the country and are forever lost to the
parents.

Cabinet Rumors Overdone.

New York Tribune.
The persistency with which It is reported
from day to day that this or that cabinet
officer will resign gives those officials more
than their share OF summer work in daily
denying the daily reports. This is time
big with events. but apparently there are
still some industrious people whose energies
are only partially utilized, hence they are
compelled to resort to surmise in order to
give vent to their abounding energy-to call

MAxmuM AND MIYIMUM RATES.

1t is not improbable that the Chicago
reciprocity conference will consider the
expediency OF recommending to congress
the adoption of a maximum and mini

tical plan for meeting the foreign tariffs.
This system is now employed by num-
Der OF European countries and is under
stood to operate very satisfactorily. The
New York Commercial remarks that of
the countries that now employ the maxi
mum and minimum system France is
perhaps the most prominent That
country adopted the system thirteen
years ago and Russia a year later. The
new German tariff is OF like character.
Under this system two rates OF duty
are fixed on each article in the tariff
The higher rate is the one that fixes the
maximum extent to which an imported
article may be taxed; the lower one fiNes

may be lowered by commercial treaty.
