Losing ~ayReputation.

The New York Board of Aldermen is
rapidly losing the reputation that it
spent seven years in building up. By
strict i%nattention to business, by care
full neglect of their duties, by conscien-
tious abuse of their powers, the boards
that existed during the Van Wyck, Low
and first Mcclellan administrations sue
ceeded in convincing the public that a
municipal legislature was a useless sur
viyal. an obstructive department Of the
c;tv government. More than once it
was suggested in all seriousness that
Tho hoard be abolished and its functions
transferred to the Board of Estimate
and Apportionment. From time to time
the Legislature did trim its authority,
until. of the various powers it possessed
on January /, 1893, only a few remained
with it.
Since the Aldermen elected last No
vember took office, however, there has
been a most gratifying change in the
boards manner Of conducting public
business. It's committee hearings have
resulted in making clear the matters
that were considered. The reports
rendered to the whole body by the com
mittees contain information on which
opinions may be formed with SOM
degree of intelligence. They consist O.
explanations and recommendations IN
stead of recommendations only, as wal
formerly the case. 1t ia possible t'

Board Her Cat Out.
Miss Arabella had lived alone many
years in the little cottage at the upper
end of the hill street One day a kit
ten was given to her by the niece Of
the man who placed on her finger the
simple ring, now worn very thin, when
he enlisted In the Union army. Even
that was long ngo, and the now half
blind and toothless animal, which had
lost every attraction of his prime, was

When old jeremiah Miles, Miss Ara
bellas step-brother, came back from the
West, penniless and dispirited, to make
his home with her, poor Nose was a
source of constant discomfort In the
tiny cottage. He was continually lying
In the chair in which jeremiah wanted
to sit, or upsetting his tobacco, or get
ting under his feet.
10 be sure, the cottage was Miss Ara
bella's own, and jeremiah had never
done anything for her but waste all of
her slim patrimony that he could
wheedle her into giving him; but she
could not get 1t out Of her mind that
he had said one day that he believed be
could stop swearing if 1t was not for
that "plaguy cat"
Jeremiah's language caused Miss Ara
bella great so]icitude. Although she
loved nothing in all the world as she
loved that bundle of gray fur, after all
a cat was only cat, and II it would
help jeremiah
For days poor Miss Arabella waged
war with herself, and at last, one even
ing, she and Nose presented themselves
at the parsonage door.
Old Doctor Glider listened silently to
her story. He knew Miss Arabella, and
he also knew the story of her simple
life. Was it with age or the tenderness

trembled as he stroked tho creature's

ITO be sure you may leave him here
for the rest Of his days, Arabella, and
Dinah will give him the best of care.
