million dollars. Perhaps II will take over

New YORk's Slow Progress.
Yesterday the first train was run under
the East River between New York and
Brooklyn, carrying ~oficials of the COR
poration conducting the tube enterprise.
The prediction was made that a regular
service will be installed before the first
of the year. Thus after many years of
waiting New York secures, or is about TO
secure. unnel transit service with Brook
lyn. This end should have been reached
long ago. New York has been lamentably
slow in providing the means Of scattering
quickly its congested population, and 1t is
suffering in consequence. Its elevated
trains remained for years the only means
of relieving the surface erowdlng. The
municipality was at least fifteen years
tardy in starting subway works. Now II
is digging tunnel underneath the North
River as we'll as the East River, and in a
little while probably some relief will be
felt. The day is approaching when Man
haitian will be chiefly a place of business,
with the population living on the fianks OF
in the extreme tip of the island. II the
big town grows at the rate of the past few
decades there will be need of at leas'
twenty tubes and half a dozen subways
to transport the crowds decently and with
fair speed.-Washington Star.

bad Municipal Government.
The remedy for bad municipal govern
ment Is not to be found In any radica
change of system, but in the people them
selves. In the last analysis government
is precisely what the people make It. I
is bad if through the indifference Of thu
people 1t falls into the hands Of cheap ant
corrupt politicians. 1t is good when TIL
people as a whole actively participate II
the selection of their o~fficials; that Is
when they interest themselves in tn
politics of their precinct and Of their ward
when they attend the primaries and go L
the polls. Those that talk most about tn
evils of municipal government general!
are those who never attend a part,
lei and never interest themselves II
the character Of the party nominees. II
an emergency, commission government
may accomplish a. great deal, as in Gal
weston following the flood, and as In Sal
Francisco following the earthquake ant
fire, when honest and courageous citizen
who a previously been content to lie
things drift took the government of tn
city into their own hands But in ordi
nary times 1t will be found that commits
sion government offers the same II no
greater opportunity for mismanasemen
and graft as government by a mayor an
a single or dual legislative body.-Sprins

STUDENTS OF DICKENS
IN CLASH OVER PICKWICK
Special Cable to The Herald.

LONDON, April 20.-Students of Dick

to whether Ipswich or Sudbury was the
prototype of Eatanswill. Judge Willis
makes a strong case in favor Of Sudbury,
which is small Suffolk town, chiefly
noted as the birthplace of Gainsborough
and Wolsey. Among the grounds on

at EatanSwill by the Norwich coach.
Sudbury was on one of the direct coach

CHAMPION FENCERS
WILL MEET AT NICE
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
NICE, April 20.-The international
fencing championship - "championnat
international d'epee"-announced for
April % and following days, bids fair
to be one of the greatest sporting events
ever seen on the Riviera. 1t takes place
at Nice Immediately after the Franco
italian meeting of Monaco.
The aggregate value of the prizes
amounts to 10000 francs and the prize
list is headed by Eugene Higgins splen-
did first prize of 5000 francs-the largest
amount ever offered as one prize In e.
competition of this kind. The first prize
of the Figaro" competition, held in
1885, was, for instance, but 5000 francs.
This championship is open to both
professionals and amateurs. Perhaps
this idea suggested itself to Mr.. Hig-
gins through memory of the great lawn
tennis meeting he organized at Nice a
few years ago, the first where profess
sionals and amateurs met. on an equal
footing.
The coming championship meeting
will be held under the presidency Of
Prince Georges Romanovsky, duke of
Leuchtenberg.

around and began to chew the mans

A Swedish Klondyke? For years
past northern Sweden has been rec
ognized as the richest iron range in
Europe. Other minerals have also
been found there, and even gold has
been secured in several localities. But
the yellow stuff was never struck in
paying quantities. Now something to
the contrary Is reported from this
wonderland. An elderly "prospector''
is said to have made a good living for
six years past by washing gold from
Lapland river. This and similar
rumors induced a number of promin-
ent Swedish gold diggers In Alaska
to go to the trouble Of ascertaining
whether gold Is found or not in north
ern Sweden. Accidentally q lump of
ore from Lappland fell into the hands
of a Swedish mine owner from Nome
Island, who was on visit to Sweden
a few months ago. AT first the sample
was supposed to be copper ore, but a
closer examination proved it to be
gold ore. This was a signal for the
gold men" to hurry to the place
where the sample had been picked up,
and few days later a telegram an
nounced that gold had been found
in paying quantities, that the pros
pectors had bought the land, and that
gold will be mined there at an early
date. The place is located about ten
(Engltsh) miles east Of Gellivare

a PACKING HOUSE TRICK.

e
One poultry shipper we knew was
getting locked in shrinkage more than
he thought was justif1able on several
cars Of poultry which he marketed last
winter and thought he would go in
with the car to the packing house
which had been taking his shipments,
He found that when the automatic ele-
vator-an endless cleated platform
which hoisted the chickens from the
weighing platform at the car door up
FIVE or six stories-was put In opera
ton fellow at the bottom Of the chute
would reach down and yank out about
every tenth fowl whether sick, disabled
or otherwise disqualified. He watched
the operation until he was fully per
suaded that he was being systemadcal-
ly skinned and then rang the bell for
the stopping Of the elevator. The
poultry sorter inquired what was up
and called for the boss, who was nat
urally indignant at the interruption of
business, and inquired who this fellow
was who was making trouble. He was
at once Informed that It was the own
n Of the chickens and no cheap hired
nan and that unless the packing house
wanted to take all the poultry they
could reverse the elevator and return
the chickens to the car. This brought
the boss to his senses, and he decided,
In view of the fact that the poultry
was worth about 2 cents more than
the price at which he had bought this
car, to give the shipper square deal
If all shortage deductions ON poultry
shipments could be sifted to the bot
tom, just such niger as this would
in a good many cases be found in the
wood pile.

the WASTE PLACES.

A north Iowa town has gained a
state wide reputation as result Of the
work which has been done by the
school children under the direction OF
ladies' civic Improvement association
In the matter Of identifying and caring
for some triangular plots which occur
ut intervals along a certain street, due
to an irregularity In the town survey.
These plots the children have planted
to flower beds and shrubs, and with
painstaking care and interest they
have converted them from unsightly
patches Of ragweed hemp and bur
dock to pretty and attractive garden
spots, which are the pride Of citizens
Of the town and objects Of admiration
to all observing visitors. What has
been done In this instance can be done
In similar manner in the case Of al
most any city whose citizens are pa
riotic and wide awake. There are odd
corners in every town that could be
cleaned up and transformed in the
above manner If the assistance Of the
children could be enlisted. In the case
Of larger plots which may belong to
the city they would far better be rent
ed to some Of the poorer people Of the
town and planted to corn, potatoes or
other vegetables than to be allowed to
grow up to wilderness Of weeds
which are not only Improbable, but
most unsightly as we'll.
