A HEALTHY interest IN CITY
POLITICS MANIFEST.
a Fusion Between Churches and
Unions is Being Worried Up. y
r1Ovemenf TO Advance TO Cify of
the Second Class. The Cify Treas
urer'S Salary Increase.

The HERALD has been the recipient of
numerous congratulations upon its article
IN thursdays issue upon municipal maj.
ters mistaken Impression. however,
article was roast" for the present a,
maistration, although nothing was fur
ther from our mind in writing It, The
only object sought to be obtained was 10
CAL attention to the faulty system If
doing city business that burdens he
taxpayer, and to some costly errors Of
judgment. The HERALD feels safe in
saying that the 'ad administrations for the
past three years wi | compare favorably
with any in the history of the city, the
only objection that can we'll be found be-
ing that they were una he to get out of
the old village rut, and initiate system
suitable to a city OF 10000.
Considerable activity is being dis
played in city politics in certain quar-.
tiers. The most notable feature Of this
activity during the past week was the
attempt to fuse the churches and trades
unions for the purpose of placing a ticket
in the field that will be satisfactory alike
to the Ministerial Alliance and the Bar
tenders Union. "Politcs make strange
bedfellows." The leading weak spot in
this fusion appears to be the possibility
OF the ministers not being able to vote
their congregations en- nasse as they
direct, and that the union.m men may de
cline to assign thellaright of suffrage to
their representatives on the Trades
Council, or would be leaders for graft.
To the bystander there are rocks ahead
ior the promoters OF this com bnation.
A movement is on foot to advance
Aberdeen to city OF the second-class,
and, if the required population OF 10000
be found, there is much to be said in
favor OF the proposition, not, however, as
the Bulletin Says, that there will be a
saving in the matter of county road
taxes. Those taxes will remain as now
The advance will give the city twelve
ccuncilmen, which OF itself Will be an
improvement, AS it will require the pres
ence of seven to do business, and it will
permit greater division Of committee
work that is becoming a serious matter
to the small council we now have. 1t
will enlarge the powers and responsibili-
ties of the mayor, and permit the collec.
ton OF an occupation tax, that properly
laid might be source of considerable
revenue without being particularly bur-
densome on anyone.
The ordinance introduced at the last
council meeting to increase the salary of
treasurer rom $50 to 800 is not meeting
with special enthusiasm with the general
public. The highest salary paid bv the
city is but $50 month, and 1t is he.
lieved this sum would be ample to secure
the constant services of IA capable treas
urer, and the ordinance providing for
this raise should also prescribe the duties
of that Office so as to embrace the collec-
ton of water rents, and it might be wise
to arrange for the payment by the city
! for the necessary surety bond.

New York BeEgarS,

Racially the beggar will belong to
one of three classes-first, the purely
unfortunate; second, the drunken out
cast; third, the professional panhan-
der He of the first class usually is
forced by circumstances to follow the
line of least resistance into the poorest
and cheapest quarter of the town,
where he will not be likely to meet
with his old time friends and where
his misery will find sufficient company
to render it unashamed, and so his des-
tination will be one of those cheap
lodging houses where a warm fire and
an unclean bed may be had for 10
cents or less a night. The outcast of
the second class is almost without ex-
ception brought to his degraded con-
dition through drink, and he takes to
the lower Bowery impersonally be-
cause it constitutes his natural envi
ronment, being where the greatest
quantity of rum is sold for the least
amount of money and where free
sleep may be had during stormy nights
on the rear room floor of saloon. The
professional panhandler of the third
class goes down the Bowery not be-
cause he lives there, for he does not,
but because there he finds sundry re-
sorts which cater exclusively to his
Magazine.

Witchcr.ft In England

A woman of Scarborough, England,
charged short time ago with cruelty
neglecting her children. believed that
her victims had been bewitched by an
evilly disposed neighbor. Superstition
and credulity are still prevalent In Eng
land. Last year London coroner had
before him man and a woman who
with their six children, slept in one
room, about which several live rabbits
were running. The adults believed
that the presence of the animals was a
safeguard against rheumatism. Not
long ago Fulbourn (Cambridgeshire)
man was fined for having kept his
horses without food and having given
them "a broth" of water, parings OF
hoofs, nails, needles and pins. This
was the dose which wise man" had
advised to remove the spell which was
believed to have been cast over the
horses by witch. At about the same
time it came out in a trial that an old
lady had paid witch $500 for a pow
der the burning Of which would bring
her great fortune.

whistler's Lost Sketches.

1t Is not generally known that the Iato
j. Mcneil Whistler once lost some OF his
test South American sketches, says Suo-
cess. He.told the story to Arthur jerome
Eddy as follows:
II went out to Valparaiso In a sailing
ship. WAS the only passenger During
the voyage l made quite number OF
sketches and painted one or two sea
views, pretty good things, thought at
the time. On arriving In port, 1 gave
them to the purser to take back to Eng
land for me. On nay return, did not finA
the package, and made inquiries for tho
purser. He had changed ships and had
disappeared entirely. Many years pssssd
when, one day, a friend, visiting my
studio, said:
"'By the way, saw some marines by
you in the oldest place you can imagine.
"Where?" 1 asked. amazed.
"I happened in the room of an old fel-
low who had once been purser on South
American ship, and saw tackled on ths
wall several sketches which i recognizes
as yours. / looked tat them closely ana
ask ed where he got them.'
"'"oh, these THINGS" he said; 'swhya
chap W no went out with us once painted
them on board ship, and gave them to me.
DON'T amount to much, do theyf"
"'"Wby, man, they are by Whistferis
"e"Whi En-" he ga d, blankly, who's
Whistler"
'"Why, Whistler tbe artist, - the
great painter"
"'"Whistier, Whsiier,-I believe that
was his name. But thst chap warn't NO
painter. He was jutt a swell who went
out with the captain. He thought 10
could paint some and gave me these things
when We got to Valparaiso. No, don't
think care to let them go,-for, somehow
or other, they more ike the sea than
real picturee."'"

A sepoy regiment will walk Euro
pean regiment to death and do it on
food which their competitors would
pronounce wholly insufficient to sus-
tain vigorous life. A regular Hindoo-
stance carrier with a weight of eighty
pounds on his shoulders-carried, of
course, in two divisions hung on his
neck by yoke-will, if properly paid,

twenty-four hours, feat which would
exhaust any but the best trained Eng
lish runners.
We feel, indeed, some doubt whether
the relation between the power of
walking and what is properly called

one. Many classes of Bengalese, who
are q feeble folk, seem in walking tire
less, and it is within the knowledge of
us all that many comparatively feeble
Englishmen can walk all day and sit
down at the end far less fatigued than
men who In a struggle would throw

A TRYING ORDEAL.
Why Men Get So Tired When Having
Clothes Fitted

Clothes Fitted.
"Didoyou ever watch man having a
suit of clothes tried on?' asked a
downtown tailor few days ago of one
of his customers who was standing pa
uently as every crease in the newly
made coat was being analysed in or
der that it might be smoothed out in
the finishing.
Mop continued the man with the
tape measure. well, you will never
understand what it is to have tailor
made clothes tried on until you make Il
point of watching some one else. You
can't understand by going through the
operation yourself. Are you aware
that you have been gaping like man
working into the small hours and long
ing for his bed? You didn't know what
made you so sleepy? Now, I'll tell you;
it's the measuring that does it. It's
nothing peculiar to you. What it is /
don't know, but q man who can stand
the strain of hours of physical exercise
or who can sit at his desk engaged in
the most trying mental work all day
long without showing fatigue will go
all to pieces in fifteen minutes under
the hands of his tailor.
Il usually give strong man fifteen
minutes to get played out. At the end
of that time he begins to cape. and he
stretches as much as he can without
throwing the tailor entirely away from
him. Then his fatigue grows rapidly.
Many man has fallen down before
he was aware how entirely exhausted
he has been under the ordeal of pos
ing for the tailor Not long ago one of
my customers, weighing over 300
pounds and man reputed to have ex
traordinary strength, fell fat on the
floor and nearly crushed me in going
down. tell you, you have to watch
a man after he has been standing in
this way for fifteen minutes.
"The worst of it is men do not un-
derstand how soon they become eX
hausted standing erect without NOV
ing. Usually when they begin to cape
they try to hide their fatigue. They
don't understand how it is. They
fight against it, but it's no use. Why
is it they give out standing quietly
when they could walk five miles with
out feeling tired?
Il put that question to my physician
some time ago, and he pulled down one
of his books of anatomy for me to
look at He opened it at a page on
which the muscular system was shown.
He pointed out the muscles that are
used in walking and in all classes of
exercise. He showed how the back is
rested by change of position. Then
he pointed out the muscles that are
brought into play in the act of stand
ing erect. They are never used except
by those whose duties require such
standing for long periods of time. The
orderly develops them as he stands at
an officers door. The clerk behind the
counter learns to use them. The or
binary man at a reception also finds
what it is to stand erect and to use
these muscles to a certain extent, and
he often wonders what it is that made
him so tired. But the height of deYel-
opment is only had in posing for the
tailor. The next time you have to
stand for your measure or to have
clothing tried on don't think it is IN
usual when you find that you are ready
TO drop down when the ordeal is over

EL PASO HAS FAMINE NEW SANTA FE ROUTE
Sugar is Out, Because of
 Quarantine Regulations

Fl Paso, Aug. 12.-El Paso is in the throes of a sugar famine. If a supply does not reach the city by Monday there will be unSweetened coffee on the table and the ice cream men will have to go out of business. At present there are heardly over a half dozen sacks in all the wholesale houses combined. and many retail houses sold their last yesterday.
 The scarcity is caused by the quar- antine at New Orleans. Although freight was barred for only three days, the jobbers of that city accepted all orders on fifteen days. and the limit of time has been take non all ship ments
 Unforeseen, as it was, this condition imposed a hardship on all wholesalers who were not heavily stocked, and as sugar is almost an ulfluctuating sta pie it is not carried in abundantly large quantities by the jobbing houses. As soon as the limitation placed on orders by the New Orleans dealers be- came known, several local dealers or dered from San Francisco, while others depended upon the situation to work itself cut before the supply became ex- hausted-
