Shortly before St. Patrick's day one of the young men on a popular residence street said to his confidential friend: "Watch me on the 17th. Dick. Talk about Solonu n in all his glory! I'm coming out in a I'rince Albert, lUht breeches, swell necktie, patent bathers, silk hat. latest style of stick and an American Ueauty smothered In green. 1 guess I won't blind the fellows, and the girls, too. for that matter. Don't say a word, Dick. Not a word. It's to be sprung on the public as a CompU te surprbe." The young man was as good as his word. He was certainly the real thing as he stepped out to the sidewalk and started down the street. Nature and art showed their happiest combination, and the result vas a stunner. "HoWa that?" to himself, for there wa

a face at every window In the house opposite, anil at some thete were two or three, all smiling, some bowing, and the sixteen-year-old son swinging his hat. The observed of all observers blushed, but squared his shouldrs and went on, only to find a like ovauon awaiting him at every residence in the block. The enthusiasm grew until there was cheering, clapping of hands, waving of handkerchie-is ami an occasional shout, implying that he was a hit. He hurried through to the nearest street-car track, got in a corner, turned up his collar, pulled his hat over his ey.-s and wondered what it could all mean. He learned next day, for it was night before he would venture to run the gauntlet. Dick had written every one on the streft a postal card telling what a resplendent appearance would burst upon them on thit particular Sunday, and told t to be on the lookout, signing the young man's name?.

I'LEA roil THE CIIILDHEX Made by n New York Committee In a Tenement Houmc Report. NEW YORK. March 21. The committee of fifteen to-day sent a letter to Governor Odcil warmly indorsing the recommendations of the tenement hotise committee In regard to the driving out of vice from the tenement houses. The committee has devoted considerable time to this question, which was one of the things which called it Into the field, and it Is expected the full committee will go to Albany on Tuesday, when a hearing on the report of the tenement house committee will be heard before the municipalities committee of the Legislature. The letter reads in part as follows: "The greatest of existing evils Is the Intrusion and wide extension of prostitution in the tenement houses, the houses in which the great mass of wage earners are compelled to live. There will probably for a long time to come continue to be differences of opinion as to the degree in which it is possible to check social vice in our great eitles, but there can be no two opinions as to the necessity of protecting children of tender years from close contact with depravity. An Intimate acquaintance with adult vice should at least not be forced upon young children by permitting such vice to penetrate into the very houses in which they live. The cry of parents when they ask merely for the opportunity of bringing up their children In an atmosphere free from the pollution of the most degrading forms of moral evils should surely be heeded." The letter says that the Laws statute has not met the situation, and what is needed is a law that will place the responsibility for the existence of vice In the tenements on the shoulders of the landlords. This, the committee says, the legislation proposed by the tenement house committee will eo. BIG PURSES, PINE HORSES. Many Xomluntlon for the Harness Itnce at Syracuse, X. Y. SYRACUSE, N.

The agricultural laborers of to-day are certainly better clad, more luxuriously fed, have far more leisure, are better educated and are rapidly becoming better housed than their forefathers a century ago. And if these are the main constituents of happiness, then they are happier. On the other hand, their grandfathers and great-grandfathers were much more gay and light-hearted than the modern; they enjoyed their lives much more than their descendants do; they had incomparably more laughter, more amusement, more real delight In the labor of their hands; there was more love among them and less hate. The agricultural laborer had a bad drunken time between twenty or thirty years ago", and he has been growing out of that. A village sot is now a vary rare bird, as-rare as he was a hundred years ago. Then the laborer could not afford a drunken debauch he had not the wherewithal. His master, the farmer, did drink, and something deeply in the clays when he was prospering. And for a few years after the rise of the laborer's wages, some twenty-flve years ago, the laborer was the publican's friend. Put hard drinking has been steadily declining, and the habitual drunkard is looked upon as a coarse brute to be avoided. As to other vices, things are pretty much as they were; I am afraid rather worse than better. Perhaps the saddest characteristic of the men of the present, as compared with the men of the past, is that the men of the past were certainly more self-dependent I do not mean Independent, in the sense in which that word is used now more resourceful, more kindly, courteous nnd contented with their lot than their descendants are. 1 think I know something about the English peasantry of a century or two gone by. I think I know just a little about the agricultural laborer nowadays. I bear him a genuine love, and feel with him a cordial sympathy, and there Is no knowing any men or any class of men whom we do not love and sympathize with. But as to the agricultural laborer of the future, I am sometimes inclined to doubt seriously whether before another century has ended there will be any such thing as an agricultural laborer to know. THICKS OF "WATCHES. Little Thing That May Make Oar Tlmepieees Fall. Philadelphia Times. Watches often suffer from changes of temperature. After a watch has been worn next to a warm body all day it should not be left over night on cold marble or near an open window. The cold is likely to contract the metal pivots, and, however slightly, tighten up the works. The next morning, for no apparent reason, one's watch will be found to be losing time. It frequently happens that watches aro slightly magnetized by static electricity given off by the human body. It has been found that dark people are more likely to exert this influence over their watches. This influence is, besides, more common among women than with men. Persons of this sort can never hope to carry the correct time unless they carry their watches in rubber or steel cases. Never lay your watch down for the night In a horizontal position. It should always be hung vertically, as it is carried during the day. If the pivot of the balance whel be in the least worn this change of position tends to loosen the "cap Jewel." Everyone has had a watch suddenly stop for no apparent reason, and go on again when slightly shaken. This may not happen once a year, but all watches are liable to such an accident. This is due usually to the catching of the delicate hair spring. It is caused by some sudden movement suc-i s Jumping on or off a car. The Jolt must come at the exact fraction of a second when the spring is in position to catch, so that the chances of such an accident are rare. A watch should be oiled every eighteen months. The oil dries up in this time, as a rule, and If the mechanism be run with the oil dry it quickly wears out. In examining a watch all jewelers follow the same plan. They first look to see if the hands are caught, if the fault lies deeper they next take out the balance wheel and examine the pin and pivots. Next they let down the mainspring and examine the wheels. It sometimes happens that a jeweler will not find the cause of the trouble for days. The most difficult dlsoro.er to locate is a slight burr on one of the wheels. Many Jewelers have collected fees for repairing watches when the watches refusto go merely because they have run down u omen are said to be the best customers cf the watch doctor, since they seldom wind their watches regularly. A watch should be wound early in the day, and not. as is the common practice, at bedtime. The reason for this is that the spring is then tighest during the day while the watch is being carried and is less sensitive. Home View of Mr. llnnnn. Fairfield County (Ohio) Republican. While In Washington, attending the Inaugural, we were much impressed with the greatness cf Senator Hanna. He has been an important factor In the first term of William McKinley, and his wisdom will bo more apparent to the American people In the second. He possesses the prescience ot wisdom that are absolutely necessary in the management and solution of the momentous questions of the day. The best cltlr.cW of the country are beginning to regard as the greatest man in the land, next to the President. He is a Sife and conservative gentleman, and would make as safe a President as William McKinley. When the people come to know him they will esteem him as highly as the President He is for the whole people, the masses as veil as the clirss. The country his nothing to fear from the brainy, wise and conservative Senator Marcus A. Hanna. If Senator Hanna were not an Ohio man, he would be. without d oubt, the next President of the United States.

CITIES WHICH MEDDLE THE FAILIRK OF MCXICIPAI OWNERSHIP IX i:GLAXD. Over Fonr Hnnrlred nnd Forty Million Dollarn of Public Debt Incurred for Private Purposes. Robert P. Porter, in Boston Transcript. The Royal Statistical Society of England has taken up the question of municipal trading with considerable statistical vigor and with results that are well worth considering. To begin with, it Is shown that local Indebtedness has Increased from about $toO,OÜO,000 in 1S75 to about double that amount in 1S&5, while at the present time it exceeds H,3O3,(K,0j0. Part of this debt has been incurred for purposes for which local authorities are bound to provide; part for educational and recreative purposes, and $410,000,000, or an amount nearly equivalent to the total municipal debt of the kingdom twenty-five years ago, for trading and similar purposes. This capital has been Invested in water vforks, gas works, markets, tramways, electric light plants, quays and harbors. The net practical result of this quarter of a century of municipal trading in England seems to be that the income produced by the existing municipal enterprises pays the working expenses, the interest and installments of borrowed capital, and leaves a profit of about Vz I-r cent, on the outstanding debt. Some public needs ouyht to be controlled or supplied by the local authorities. The difficulty, as brought out in this discussion, arises as to what is the true boundary line which must be maintained between public enterprise carried on at the public cost and at khe public risk, and private enterprises carried on by individual traders In partnership or in companies. In England municipal ownership has gone from water works to gas works, and from gas works to tramways, and unless checked is likely to be carried to an extent that will practically destroy individual effort and enterprise. Lord Avebury, In a recent paper read before the London Chamber of Commerce, says that among the businesses which various municipalities are, in the present session, asking Parliament to grant them powers to undertake, are banking, pawnbroking, coal supply, saddlery, manufacture of electrical Attings, or the residual products of gas, and other branches of trade and manufacture. THEORY VS. PRACTICE. The theory of those who advocate the extension of municipal ownership is that if a profit can be made out of the general supply of some commodity, why should not the community realize that profit Itself? In theory this may be sound, but In practice It would be utterly destructive of individual effort and a great Injustice to the taxpayer. On this point the Right Hon. Sir Henry H. Fowler, president of the Royal Statistical Society, says in his annual address: "It must be borne In mind that the general user cannot decide the question of municipal enterprise. Take two articles which are perhaps in very general use, tobacco and beer. If general user is to be the test, it might be urged that public bodies should become manufacturers of tobacco and beer. They would be the guardians of the purity of both these commodities, and possibly they might carry them on so as to produce such a profit as would be an advantage to the community where they were located, but if the price was higher than the actual cost, the consumers of these articles are taxed to the relief of rates for the benefit of those who do not smoke, and who do not drink beer. If on the other hand the prices are lower than the cost price, then the general ratepayers, including those who do not smoke and who do not drink, are taxed in order to supply cheap tobacco and cheap beer for a section of the community." This applies with equal force to those who use and those wno do not use the tramways. Why should those who walk, or those who ride some other way, or those who have no occasion to use a street-railway be taxed to relieve those who use such enterprises? The above figures also show that capital is required just the same for municipal industries, and that this capital is borrowed of the capitalist. Moreover, It becomes a charge en the property of the entire community, and if it is not successful the property of the taxpayer must pay the loss. A margin of half per cent, can hardly be consldere-d a happy business result. Imagine if in addition to present indtbtedness the property of some of our municipalities was also pledged for such enterprises as we find in operation in England, and for which, as I have shown, there are now proposals before Parliament. Imagine all these enterprises managed by bodies 'of politicians having no personal pecuniary interest. Sir Henry Fowler ccntends thit this question of management is a main factor in the cjassilicition of enterprise? which. In England, cannot be undertaken by public authorities. The Industrial success of England, and likewise of this country, whether it be manufacturing or commercial, has h-en attained by Individual energy, impelled by the motive of Individual ambition and profit, and devoting tim.? and energy to the most minute and continuous superintendence of every detail. And to these characteristics of individual management must te added the constant discoveries of inventions both in machinery, manufacture, materials and distribution, which render such enormous services to thu trade of the country. A NOTE OF WARNING. In the English discussion of the question before the Statistical Society the question of competition with private traders was brought out as of great importance. The municipality, it was contended, taxes the whole community, and in thit taxation includes the private trader, and therefore In the case of competition with the trader he is compelled to contribute to a fund which might be employed to compete with him in his own business, and so to destroy his trade, and not only is the competing trader affected, but the general consumer may h ive to pay a higher price in consequence of the creation of a monopoly. This may seem strange when the plea for municipal ownership so often in the United States comes frcai the anti-monop-oliist. In England, however, the munlclpalltlesrxr rather an association of tho permanent town clerks of municipalities, have been politically strong enough to prevent private capital from securing from Parliamentary acts for the purpose of promoting electric lighting, beating and power

The combination of municipalities in England have in fact gunrde'd their rights of monopoly and high prices to the consumer as vigorously and as effectually as combinations of private capital. The concluding words of Fir Henry Fowler's admirable address, while they conveyas does the entire address a note of warning to the municipalization spirit of the times, are eminently judical: "The true friends of municipal life an1 institutions are those who desire to see that life developed and those institution strengthened on the broad basis of public benefit and of public support. They will not be disposed to sacrifice the rare advantages of the devotion, wise supervision and experienced management and administration which are the advantages of the voluntary public service of that large army of citizens who control our local administration, but they will recognize that there are limits to the extent and efficiency of that management they will see that it must not cenfiict with the Just interests of the ratepayersthe traders, and the public, and they will not weaken the strength and value of municipal administration by extending It beyond those limits." That there are limits to the extent ar.d efficiency of municipal management of enterprises and business undertakings, th experience fii England has demonstrated. This is equally true of governmental conduct of railways, for England and th United States, where private enterprise controls, undoubtedly lead the world In their railway systems. Wherever you find Individual enterprise untrammeled, or only under reasonable control, there may be discovered the most satisfactory results. In England and the United States railway companies create business and go after business. In the continental countries the governmental officials hold the basket for tho ripe apple to drop in when it is ready. State ownership of railways never gets beyond that stage. In a like manner municipal ownership of tramways in England contents Itself with picking up the pennle within the city limits. Spreading tho lopulatIon of congested districts into tho country, and building up suburban places by a low uniform rate of fare is left for the individual enterprise and energy which has promoted the great municipal street railway systems of the cities and towns of the United States.

"A few weeks ngo a tramp dog was run over by a car on the Central-avenue line and his leg was broken. I call the dog a tramp because I fancy he had no home. He was not the sort of dog in appearance that would have the welcome of a comfortable abiding place extended to him. He was a plain dog and undoubtedly of very common parentage. "What did that dog do? He limped to the gate that opens into the grounds of that queer dog hospital that Staniforth presides over and he pushed against it. There is a bell attached to this gate so that when an attempt is made to open it the lndl rlncs. The dog pushed and the bell rang. He pushed again nnd the bell rang acain. Then a boy in the office close by saw the dog and telephoned to the proprietor. 'There is a little dog trying to get in at the gate,' he called.

He was a charity patient, of course, but there was nothing in the healing line too ?ocd for a doj with Intelligence like that. Now he is making rapid progress towards recovery, and it will only be a short time before he is ready to resume his tramping. "Do I think it was merely chance that took the dog to the gate?
