3 PER CENT, INTEREST
Is What City Charges on Unpaid
 Sewer Assessments.

Joseph Taylor, young man who with many others appeared before the board of public works last night, made Mayor Thoms and his lieuten- ants blush. Mir Taylor wanted to know what interest the city charges on unpaid sewer assessments to which his honor replied nine per cent for the first year, and the five commission CTS looked at each other while the one hundred or more persons present, including a few ladies, exclaimed ill unison. ''Oh.' It was a pertinent question and the chairman answered it truthfully. The city borrows most of it's money for three and half per cent and then charges citizens almost three times that for the use of it. Is this legal rate of interest and if not has the city any right to collect it? In any case it looks like extOrtion and it must have been a great humiliation upon Mayor Thoms to be called upon to expose such q condition of affairs, especially when his party is not responsible for it. A private individual who would demand such returns as that for the use of his money to an utter stranger would be called all sorts of names, but public officials can do it unblushingly and still hold their grip on their victims. What is the reason the city cannot afford to borrow money at 31-2 or 4 per cent and loan it at 6?

APPEALED TO JUDGE
EmpIoye of Greyst0ne Co Order
 ed 10 Vacate Tenement.

| Just after Judge Gager adjourned the special term of the superior court | yesterday afternoon abuot 4 o'clock
 a man who seemed to be Russian
 accompanied by number of small children entered the court wonder ingly. He was the picture of dis tress. He said he wished to see the ljudge, and Court Stenographer Walsh told the court that the man wished to speak to him. Judge Gager stepped
 down from the bench and went to- ward the man whose attitude was
 anything but that of a freeborn American.
 The story he told the judge was brief one. It was that he had been
 employed by the Greystone Manufac- turing company; that the company
 owes him wages and has also noti-
 fled him to quit possession of the
 house occupied by him, and he want 1 ed to know if he could be turned
 adrift in the cold under these cir
  The court told him he had no re- | lief to give. He had nothing to do
 with the case and referred him to counsel for the receiver, Attorney N.
 B. Bronson.
 MT Bronson listened to the mans story and told him as the court did that he had no relief to give him. To-day MT Bronson stated that the mans story was correct, that the company owes him for wages, but did not notify him to quit his house. That was done by E. s. Robbins, pres ident of the company. It was MT Rob- bins own affair, as the house in question is owned by him, not by the company. MT Bronson also stated that it was employees like the man in question started the whole trouble for the company. They would not pay their rent and they brought proceed ings against the company for wages, thus giving the concern neither time
 nora opportunity to get on it's feet.
 These facts were told the man by MT
 Bronson and he did not deny them.

TRIBES HOLD FIRE SACRED.
Survival of the Belief That 1t Is q
Living Creature.

A curious modern attempt to ra
tionalize one of the Oldest of super
stitions is to be found in Kipling's
"Life's Handicap" There Mulvaney
checks the author from stirring the
fire with Ortherls' bayonet, on the
ground that fire takes the heart out OF
the steel. The real reason is much
more mysterious. 1t was one of the
maXims of Pythagoras mot to stir the
lire with a sword" and to this day the
wandering tribes of North America
and of northeast Asia hold it a sin to
take up burning ember for a pipe
light with the point of knife. The
explanation is undoubtedly given by
Johannes de Plano Carpini, when he
tells us that one of the Tartar super.
stitions concerns Sticking a knife
into the fire, or in any way touching
the fire with the knife, or even taking
meat out of the kettle with knife,
or cutting near the fire with an axe;
for they believe that so the head OF
the fire would he cut Off"
This is evidently connected with the
ancient idea that fire is living
creature, a sacred animal, which
must not be wounded by its human
owners, in case it should be annoyed
and deprive them of its valuable ser.
vices. Is this in any degree more ir.
rational than the belief still existent
among housekeepers that a feeble fire
can be made to burn by laying the
poker across it, or that the sunbeams'
falling on fire tend to put 1t out?
