Night in the slums Of Paris.

AS it grows later the streets il,.-
women come out; the beggars come
home from the boulevards; from far
Their away--from the suburbs and out
skirts-come the little men who have
made coup emptied a pocket or a
villa; La Boule' has finished his
oysters and we begin our night Jour
ney. AS we turn into the Rue Pirou,
cite the lighted belfry of st. Eustache-
gives the hour: midnight. That street
is dark You can hardly make out
the figures that pass, men or women
The air is heavy with the doors OF
fish, Of decaying vegetables -underfoo
the pavement is gluey with dead
things; your boots crunch on snail
shells. At No. 5 there is a low arch
way; it leads to the Cour du Heaume.
a vast court, surrounded by a gallery
set on pillars of wood; five centuries
ago it was sumptuous palace-this
moldy building; then Court of Mira
cles;'' this night it is filled with empty
hand carts. with ladders. baskets. the
refuse of the markets; only against
one wall a half-dozen old hays lie
huddled sleeping away the hours un-
til they can find work at the mar
kets. Further on, the Rue Piroutte is
lighter. Women stand in the door
ways-the eternal women of the un-
derworld. They offer you the ef
frcntery of their eyes
They wear no hats. these women; :.
the glory Of each of them is her huge
casque of hair, yellow red or black
built high on the head
The little men" in the wine shops
look out as we pass, la Boule" and
n; they are drinking absinthe, playing
cards, eating snails; most Of them are
young; they are sallow and lear and
wicked; it is in their horoscope to
die in Jail or under the guillotine or
in a wild brawl of knives. We shall
meet them yonder in the Angel Ca
briel," in the Gave Of the Innocents'
and many another den tonight; anc
they are worth studying-these ban
dts of Paris From without the
Angel Gabrie1' is as banal as any
other of the dirty wine shops OF the
town. And indeed unless one is an
old Partisan, given to summing there
is no way Of telling the peaceful, tav
ern from the den of murder ami
spoil.-vance Thompson in Outing

STREET ADVERTISING.
Should Be Controlled by the State and
Kept Within Bounds.

The agitation for the abatement ii
the sky sign and billboard nuisance is
timely, and we hope that it will pro-
has long advocated restriction OF the
right of property owners to turn our
thoroughfares into private advertising
lanes The owner of building or a
vacant lot has direct responsibility
to the municipality in this matter, for
he receives a revenue from his lease
of sign space which depends entirely
on the usefulness Of that space in fore
ing welcome. or unwelcome advertising
literature on the attention of passers-
by. The advertiser pays for right to
dominate the streets, and the franchise
he enjoys is in the sense public, not
private.
1t lies with the city to regulate
street advertising of all sorts, and
both from an aesthetic and from a
public service point of view that regu-
lation should be intelligent and thor
|ough. Many of our street placards
are disfguring and unsightly. 1t is
annoying for instance, to find thor
oughfare like upper Broadway lined oil
both sides for many blocks with far
ing advertisements Public taste aud
comfort should be consulted in the
licensing of such displays. We do not
favor prohibition of all street pla-
carding, for that perhaps would run
too SHARPLY counter to our present
customs and our ideas Of individual
privilege. But we think the abuse
could be made to correct itself within
a few years If the state would author
ize the laying OF graduated tax on
street signs, the tax increasing with
the square area covered
The government would either
make considerable revenue out OF
such tax or the increased cost of
posters would compel change in
present methods. To artistic. mod
est and sensible advertising there can
be no objection, but we owe it to our
sense Of municipal good order and dig
nifty to blot out the extravagant and
tasteless poster spread unfortunately
over fences and walls. We have
much to learn from the wise practice
OF European cities in dealing with che
street advertising problem-New York
Tribune.

easily win against the government by
the simple device of boycotting the
vodka shops.
The government controls the retail
ing of vodka and is deriving from it
a profit Of something like 100000, 900
rubles a year; sum far in excess of
it's income from customs. Let the inn

Immediately go to smash The czar
would be unable to pay his army and
the interest on his foreign debt.
The army unpaid would become dis
contented and rebellious Foreign
bondbolders unpaid would agitate for
the interference of the great powers.
No more money could be borrowed, at
home or abroad. Chaos might ensue
and out Of the chaos might ultimately
emerge the rule of the people, as the
present French republic is the final
result of the revolution and the terror
The desire for liberal institutions
lis strong among the masses OF the
Russian people, but the desire for
vodka is also strong Even among
the intelligent progressives it seems
stronger than their revolutionary ar

course that would certainly accom-
plish the first thing to be done to
give the popular cause a free hand
This thing is to utterly destroy the
present autocratic government

The president of the United States

These tainted persons were COM

has been closed to them.

suppressing all natural sentiments
and in smothering all the better inn

Corey was one Of the clever en-
ployes of the early Carnegie works

them OF the stock afterwards made so
valuable by the sale to<the steel trust.
His talents made him head OF one OF
