A new wrinkle in the way of rent
ing stores here has recently been de-
veloped in New York. AS an example
recently leased at a rental based on
percentage of the gross annual re-
ceipts of the business to be transacted
therein. The rental terms were
per cent of the gross receipts for the
first five years, 6 per cent for the
next five years. and 1-2 per cent
for the remaining eleven years of the
lease. with a guarantee that the an
nual payment shall never fall below
$50 900. A big drug company, oper-
ating a chain of stores in New York
recently opened a new place on sim
liar rental terms. With a permanent
and stable business owned by a re-
sponsible tenant, this form of lease
presents many attractions to the own
ers of business buildings. and the plan
will probably spread widely.

1t will be remembered with what
righteous wrath the Hearst newspa-
pers-which for weeks previous had
been filled with accounts and illus
trations of the trouble at Reno-took
up the battle for the prohibition of
the Jeffries-Johnson moving pictures.
Like Anthony Comstock, who once
declared his intention of "waging
eternal warfare upon the rogues who
place moral cancers in the hands of
children" Mr.. Hearsts moulders of
public opinion were considerably "het
up" The exact ethical distinction
between the pages of pictures of the
fight printed in the night extra (out
at noon) and the fight films was not
made plain. From objecting to the
Reno pictures to a general condem-
nation of all moving pictures is a
step now taken by the moral re-
formers. over in Brooklyn several
bodies of churchmen are crusading
against the "canvasback drama" the
aters, and at the humane conference
in Washington next week, it is an
nounced, a general world anti
moving picture crusade will be
launched. Coming at a time when
the manufacturers of films are unit
ed in what seems to be a genuine de-
termination to raise the standard of
their pictures, the promoters of the
wholesale crusade seem to have little
excuse but the desire, so often in
evidence, to suppress any amusement
which is cheap enough to be within
the reach OF poor people. To some
gentle souls, the idea of poor folk
enjoying themselves is positively OBJ
noxious. Twenty years ago most
boys were introduced to literature
through the medium of dime and
half dime novels. A few of them
were bad, but in the majority of
those thrilling tales of Righteousness
triumphed with regularity and GER
titude which is, unhappily, seldom
evident in real life. The reformers
OF those days Jumped all cheap nov
els together as the production of the
devil, certain to land all readers
thereof in prison or a hotter place.
The publishers of boys stories dis
covered long ago that hero, to ap-
peal to the fancy of youth had to live
up to moral code only a little less
stringent than that of the angels The
makers of films are rapidly learning
the same lesson.

NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF OLD new YORK

New York.-If the full dress suit
and high hat are the outward and
visible symbols of the gentleman,
none others being genuine, it is to
be admitted that the metropolis is
short on gents" What proportion
OF the adult male population of New
York is possessed Of evening regalia
can not, of course, be stated with
any degree of exactltude, but 1t is a
one best bet that the proportion falls
below 10 per cent. Even on the
famed white way" at the dining and
theater-going hours the "stove-pipe"
hats are rather infrequent.
That the average New Yorker is
careless in the matter Of correct at
tire is a fact to prove which the for
mer management of the Cafe de
rOpera spent a large sum of money.
This place was opened some time ago
after a blare OF trumpets and for a
few months was regarded as one of
the show places of New York. Only
men wearing dress suits were admit
ted within its sacred precincts and
this rule proved disastrous. The COM
pany quickly went into the hands of
a receiver, after the owning company
had sustained heavy losses. 1t will
be reopened next week under a new
name and the taboo on business suits
will be lifted.
1t is pointed out that in London
dozens of high-priced restaurants
and hotels enforce the full dress rule
without trouble and with the hearty
sanction of their patrons, don't-you-
know. Even New Yorkers who ha-
bitually dress for dinner wore busi-
ness suits to the Cafe de fOpera,
merely to show their American spir-
1t of independence. When they were

ESTABROOK'S COMPANY.
Troop Raised in New England to
Suppress Mormon Rebellion.

Troop Raised in New England to
Suppress Mormon Rebellion.
DR.. George c. Estabrook of Rockland
is one of the few men now living who
saw Fort Sumter fired upon. He is
also a survivor of company which
responded to President Buchanan's call
for $500 men to suppress the mormon
rebellion in 1857, the Kennebec Jour
nal says.
That a company of 100 men was
raised in New England to assist in
subduing this rebellion is an unrecord-
ed item of history that is probably
not known to-day to more than a few
score persons. This company was
raised in Camden by the young dry
goods clerk Estabrook. Accompanied
by the Hon. Edwin Estabrook, whose
brother-in-law was assistant secretary
of state, and Nathaniel Jones, a promi.
nent Camden merchant, young Esta-
brook went on to Washington and was
granted a personal interview with
President Buchanan.
/. He gave quiet attention while Este-
brook explained the errand which had
brought him there, but exhibited the
keenest interest when he saw the COM
pany papers, the heading of which had
been prepared by Alvin R. Dunton of
Camden, author of the Duntonian sys-
tenn of penmanship, probably the finest
writer of that period.
Did you write that?" asked Presi-
dent Buchanan.
Estabrook made haste to disclaim
the credit and explained who had
done it.
"Well, that's the finest writing l
ever saw" said the president, and he
gazed at 1t some time, lost in admira-
tion.
In the end the company was ac-
cepted as tribute to the young mans
loyalty and promptness. but President
Buchanan explained that the govern
ment would send only those troops
nearest the scene Of action, so the only
company raised in New England for
the purpose Of fighting mormons re-
malned peacefully in the background.

The advice to think, read, form ideas
before indulging in free and Unlimited
conversation is good for men as well
as women. The lady who boldly ac-
cused many representatives of her sex
OF imagining that inconsequential
small talk serves every purpose should
be invited to lecture before young men.
Carlyle's eloquent tribute to silence
was amusing in view of his own gar
rulity and verbosity, but there is a
golden mean between taciturnity and
extreme economy of speech, on the one
hand. and perpetual chatter on the
other The way to that golden mean
lies through study of good books and
attention to things that matter, to seri-
ous and interesting questions of the
time-artistic, social literary, political.
Fortunately, women and girls to-day
are not open to wholesale indictments
for inane gossip and trivial talk. The
tendency is distinctly toward reading
and thinking. For example, an inquiry
at Wellesley showed that out of 450
undergraduates 100 read some news
papers regularly. 23O some good week
ly, and every girl some monthly.
There is marked interest in classical
fiction, the drama, poetry even, and in
the modern short story. We do not
imagine this showing at all exception
al. Turn to the programs of the
women's clubs all over the country
and the range covered is astonishing.
The modern woman or girl makes all
knowledge her province, and that has
been recognized as a characteristic of
the age. Still, the empty-headed chat
terers have not disappeared from the
face of the earth, and the gospel of
reading and thinking is by no means
superfiuous. 1t Is not out of place
even in college halls and fraternity
houses. 1t may be said, roughly, that
to make men and women read and
think, to cause one word to be ut
tered where five were uttered before,
is to confer a great benefit on human
