 The story of the Manhattan bank robbery is a classic It was Jimmy's boast in those days that he never rob bed weak bank. Certainly the Man hattan was strong one. It took capi- tai and time to loot it. This was ac- complished by Hopes favorite trick of hiring shop just behind it under cov- CT of which to carry on drilling opera tions. When the party got in, they caught the watchman, and, by threats of torture, made him lead them to the safe, after which they had more work to break in. In the case of the First National, of Wilmington, Del, Hope again hired house by the bank, and left in it the cashier and his family bound and gagged while the safe was being cracked. To the South Ken sington bank. of Philadelphia. Hope went at night dressed as a policeman with a great story, which was true, of an impending burglary and the news that the police department had thought it best to send man. Once admitted by the walchman, he thoughtfully hit that muddled functionary over the head. and the rest was easy.
 The strangest thing about Hopes af- terward admitted share in the Manhat- tan robbery was that he was never put in jail for 1t. His son, John Hope, still living honestly, as he had done before, so far as any knows, decided that his father could not endure term in prison, confessed the crime and went in his stead.

they used it with almost inconceivable boldness merely to exact graft. These powers now go to the board of esti- mate, smaller and at present more respectable body. The aldermen are contesting the constitutionality of the law clipping their powers, and they have chosen as test cases four rather important plans for public improve ments. As it takes three years to reach a case in the New York courts. the outlook for these works is glum indeed, unless some short cut can be devised.
 The other instance: In 1899, when Roosevelt was governor, a law was passed to tax the franchises of public service corporations. This law has been fought through every court up to the Supreme court of the United States, though it was perfectly under stood that it was constitutional. Are the railroads going to pay their taxes now? They are not; they are to begin the whole process over again, from the lowest court up to the highest. on the point whether they may deduct from the total taxation what they have already paid in special taxes

 early successes of Dr. Peet's crews 20 years ago.
 The truth is that Columbia, though the second university in the country in number of members, has but compar- atively small number of men in Sts college department. It is as a college smaller than Yale or Princeton; con- siderably smaller than Cornell. Stu dents in art, in music, in medicine. law, architecture, applied science; the women in the Teachers college and in Barnard, all count in the grand total, but they do not help in football and rowing. Last fall, when the Columbia football men met the Yale giants, the contrast in bulk was noticeable. The Columbians were more alert and swift CT upon their feet. But the mighty Hogan lowered above them. It has been Columbia's luck to have one or two men of transcendant ability. Such were Morley and Weeks; the latter, with his invention of the hurdling trick, the most sensational star player of his nay; but it is pretty hard to ask one player to win a game, though it has been done.

bill"-that is to say, as much as his meal cost him. Two dollars for ten dollar meal, and so down in proportion, are the ideas of this calm potentate of the eating house.
 One fact the discussion does develop. There is no kind of restaurant in New York where the tip has not made some foothold for itself. In the quick lunch places five cents is left for the waiter girl, often enough to make tidy addi- tion to her weekly pay The coffee and sinkers man down town gets a few tips-though his wages are better than those of the walters in Delmonico's and Sherry's. The Chinese waiter ex- poets a tip from stunning party. The Syrian restaurant is not tip-proof.
 The best restaurants, like Delmon- ico's, have rigid rule that the waiter must not betray in any act his disap- pointment if guest gives him nothing. But in places in other respects good walters become impertinent if they are not literally treated.
 This is one of the many things that make life in New York so expensive. In good restaurants in Paris or Lon. don, the waiter does not expect to re- tire with a competence until after 40 years service. Ten per cent. is enough everywhere; less upon large amounts. It is enough in New York, but the waiter does not always act as if he thought so.
 And 1t is dreadfully un-AmericaA habit to spread over the country. as it is doing. Whose fault, I wonder?

CLIMATIC CURES.

The influence of climatic con-
ditions in the cure of consumption
is very much overdrawn. The
poor patient, and the rich patient
too, can do much better at home by
proper attention to food digestion,
and a regular use of German Syrup.
Free expectoration in the morning
is made certain by German Syrup,
SO is a good nights rest and the
absence of that weakening cough
and facilitating night sweat. Rest
less nights and the exhaustion due
to coughing, the greatest danger
and dread of the consumptive, can
be prevented or stopped by taking
German Syrup literally and regu-
larly. Should you be able to go to
a warmer cline, you will find that
of the thousands of consumptives

STATE FANCIERS AND
BREEDERS ASSO-
CITATION.
a Wonderful and Splen-
did Success.

The first exhibition of the State
Fanciers and Breeders Association
of poultry raisers, which began on
Tuesday, December 10, in the old
Yeoman building, and closed last
night, was revelation to almost
every one who has seen it. While
it was known that great many
high class fowls were being bred
in this section, no one dreamed
that the business was carried on to
such an extent as it is.
We are free to confess that we did
not even know that there were as
many different varieties of even the
same breed of fowls as are on ex-
hibition.
The display of chickens was by far
the largest, yet other fowls, such
as turkeys. geese, ducks, pigeons,
ETC., are of a high class and reflect
great credit upon their owners and
breeders.
The energy and good Judgment
displayed by the A ssociation re-
fleets great credit upon them, and
assures the permanent establish
ment of the exhibition.
Notwithstanding the inclement
weather of a large part of the time
the show was on. vast crowds of
interested and delighted people
thronged the building from the
time the. doors were open in the
morning until the close late at
night.
1t was a delight TO the eye of
every one who admires beautiful
fowls just to stand and see these
pets of the barnyard, with glisten-
ing and carefully preened feathers,
as they struck the Growing atti-
tude to re turn the challenge of some
other cbanticleer.
We will publish the full list of
premiums in our next issue, as it
was completed too late for this
weeks issue.
The premiums won were hand
some and munificent and were well
worth the care and attention neces-
saIy to win them.
We desire to congratulate the
management upon the perfect sue
cess of the affair from start to
finish.
