Dongan Hills, of which Andrew

protest to Mayor Gaynor In regard

TEACHING the Cutpurses.

Stow In his account of London be.
tween 1860 and 1890 depicts an inn
kept by a kind of Fagin Of the time OF
Queen Elizabeth: "One Wotton kept
an alehouse " = near Billingsgate,
and In the same house he procured an
the cutpurses about the city to repair,
There was a school set up to learn
young boys to cut purses. Two Ge
vices were hung up. The n was a
pocket, the other was a purse. The
pocket had in 1t certain counters and
was hung about with hawks bells.
and over the top did hang a little scar
ing bell. The purse had silver In 1t
And he that could take out a counter
without any noise was allowed to be
a public foyster. And he that could
take a piece of silver out Of the purse
without noise Of any of the bells was
adjudged a judicial nypper, according
to their terms Of art. A foyster was q
~pickpocket; a nypper was a pickpurse
or cutpurse."

The Forbidden City.

Picking has been a city for something
like 5000 years, first as the capital of
a small state, her destroyed, again re-
built and finally nodded into the
form in which we now know it, with
Its Chinese. Tartar, Imperial and For
hidden cities, each with its inclosing
wall. Nobody has ever yet attempted
to tell the full tale of its intrigues, its
cabals, plots and counterplots. Few
know anything about them. No one
person knows them all, IL only the
bricks that form the walls could find
a tongue, if only the pavilions on the
Coal Hill could produce the sights and
sounds that have fallen to their lot to
see and hear. there would doubtless be
a tale to tell which might vie In inter
est and dramatic force with anything
that ancient Rome or Babylon has CIV
en-, even through the medium of 1c-
tion.-Shanghai Mercury.

Napalson and Waterloo.

There is nothing In the result Of the
Waterloo campaign to show any de-
cline In Napoleon's powers of mind.
The plan of the campaign as laid down
by the emperor was a most brilliant
one, and had 1t not ralned on the night
of the 18th of June Napoleon would in
all likelihood have kept his throne.
Had 1t not rained and made the land
miry he would have had his artillery
in position four hours before he. actual
ly did. and Wellington would have
been disposed of long before Blueher's
arrival. Even as it was, the Iron Duke
was pretty well used up when the
Prussian came up on his left. Napo-
Icons genius never shone more brill
liantly than 1t did in his last campaign.
He was defeated by the elements and
by the understandable stupidity of some

A T ISLAND NEWS
PREPARE FOR
PETERBOROUGH
FAIR IN FALL

The managers of the Interborough
Fair are fast finishing up the more
important details connected with the
getting ready of the sixth annual
event to be held Labor Day week. as
usual, this year. Most of the free
attractions have been decided up
on, as well as nearly all the COM
mittees connected with the various
departments, and further announce
ments, will be made in detail in
forthcoming issues.
Aviator To Make Flights.
An aeroplane of the most i'm
proved type will make daily flights
over the fair grounds. At this time
it looks as though the Curtiss ma
chine will be selected. There are
many successful aeroplanes offered,
and all are now under consideration.
Premium List.
The premium list this year will
be much larger and better in every
way than in former ones 1t is well
in hand and will be published
shortly. The front cover. will be
printed in two %colors, and will re-
produce a view of a trotting heat
finishing under the wire in front of
the grand stand. The whole book
this year will be a work of art, and
will contain portraits of all the Off
GERS and members of the various
committees.
To Prevent False Rumors.
No announcement of details of
any kind will be made until all ar
rangements are perfected and con-
TRACTS closed. This course has been
adopted to prevent any false rumors
being published.
Last year the dog show was held
under the rules of the American
Kennel Club, and was a great sue
cess, so far as entries went, but
owing to an all days rain, was poor
ly attended.
Last years show was gotten up
in very short notice, not over TWEEN
ty days, and out of some 200 entries
nearly fifty were from Staten Island,
therefore it would seem possible to
organize and maintain a local ken
mel club.

An Early Wall Paper.

On preparing a in Bradbourne
Hall, Derbyshire, In 1882, ! found, part
ly covered by an old oak cupboard,
considerable remains of quite early
eighteenth century wall paper, of pale
green tint, with a flowing pattern in
darker color on 1t. This paper was
made in squares Of about twenty inch
es, and l was able to rescue two or
more complete pieces. 1t had been
printed on rather thick paper from
woodcut blocks, and each square was
nailed up with coarse iron tacks about
one and a half inches apart, each tack
being u through squares or washers
of brown leather, 80 that both tack
heads and washers showed all around
each square of paper. 1t Is possible
that this wall paper was of late seven
teenth century date. Bradbourne Hall,
In the lower peak, is a picturesque
house, almost unaltered, of the time of
James l., having been then fashioned
from the %canonical house of the Au-
gustins Of Dunstable. 1t was just the
place-"far from the madding crowd"
where curious details OF domestic
decorations would suryive.-London
