OFF WITH THE OLD, ON WITH THE NEW.

When "Jack" Walsh stepped out of tbe county treasurer's office at the close of business last Wednesday night, tbe county of Vigo lost one of the most competent and accommodating officials that ever served the people. For six years he had been connected with tbe offloe,

four of theae as deputy under olever Ous Oonzman, and two as tbe latter'a successor. His experience in the offloe save him an insight into its workings that rendered him a valuable man, and he goes out of office with the universal good will of every one who has had dealings with him, Republicans, Democrats, Populists, and Prohibitionists as well. When his worthy predeoessor retired from offloe two years ago The Mall had ocoasion to say of htm: "Politics, it is said, unfortunately, but truly, has a tendenoy to demoralise a man, and one who passes through it unsoathed is entitled to credit, and this credit oertainly belongs to Qus Conzman." It gives The Mail pleasure to reoord the same sentiment regarding the man who has just retired from offloe. Mr. Walsh has a number of business offers under consideration, but for the present will act on neither of them, and will take a wellearned rest.

Wilton T.San ford, who succeeded Mr. Walsh, is oertainly well qualified by his business experience to fulfill the duties of the responsible position to which he has been obosen, and he enters upon the discharge of his offloial position under the most favorable auspices. A man

who has uiaie a aucoess of hisown business is certainly ably fitted to look after the business of the people who have engaged him, and The Mail feels satisfied that he will render a good account of bis stewardship. He is tbe first Republican to hold tbe position of county treasurer since "Chris" Ray retired in August, 1885, and his election to tbe office is a tribute to bis political shrewdness and strength. He has sbowA remarkable good judgment in these ction of deputies, in the persons of John C. Freund, of this city, and Wm. Maxwell,of Plerson township, and it is a sure thing that the interests of the taxpayers will be well cared for under tbe new dispensation.

WMg jjfjBwmd to Have Idoenae. A bewhiskered man who didn't look as prosperous as some of those behind him pushed himself to the front of the line in the city comptroller'a office yesterday and stood a£ the license window. "Is this where they get wagon licenses?" he asked the clerk. "Yes, this is the place. Pay your money up stairs and bring the receipt down here," was the reply. "Lem'me see. How much is a wagon license?" inquired the unprosperous man as he fingered his pocket. "It will cost you $3." "No les'en that?" "No, that's the price regulated by law." "How much for an express license?" "That will cost you $1.25." "Well, I can't afford it. I'll run my old wagon in the shod and turn my bosses out to pasture. I ain't got enough money and can't borrow it." "Well, I'm sorry"— "Say, how much is a dog license?" ,,, "One dollar." "Well, gim'me ona That's all I can afford.'—Indianapolis Journal. *, v,

According to Chief Bonner, the ball nozzle which has excited so much interest throughout the country is destined to work a radical and highly beneficial change in the system of fighting fire. Instead of working at a distance with straight streams, firemen, by using the ball nozzle, can enter burning buildings and work at close range, thus not only doing more effective work, but averting to a considerable extent the serious damago to interior property, and in many cases this system will enable firemen to save the lives of inmates of burning buildings. The man who has given the world an appliance of such value is certainly entitled to tho gratitude of his fellow men.—New York Tribune.

IF SOME MEN WILL READ THIS!

WW Then Learn What Modest Women Think A boat Them. f-J "Why will meua be such bmats?'' said an indignant young woman to a friend as they alighted from the "L" at Fiftieth street one day last week. "I have just iraffered acute mental anguish for the last few minutes because a great brute of a man would insist upon crowding up against me and touching me with his knee. There is nothing so maddening to a modest, refined mind as that. A woman is practically defenseless.

Now tonight the cars were crowded, and I was tired enough, as you may imagine, to drop down into that vacant seat with a sigh of relief, which was quickly changed to anxiety when I realized what I should have to endure from the man beside me, I moved over so that he could not touch me without changing his position. Under pretext of unfolding his paper, he followed me, watching me narrowly out of the corner of his eye, or rather I felt he was, for I never looked at him. Finally I moved as far as I oould without falling into the aisle. It was no use, and I just jumped up and held to a strap the rest of the way. "It is at such times as this that I long for some one—some man with a real, manly heart in him—to teach such a creature as that that there is an unwritten law at least which keeps men from forcing their attentions where they are not wanted. I wonder sometimes if it is because I am obliged to work for a living that I have to endure such things." "I do not think that fact makes any difference," said her companion, "for I saw a pretty little doll of a woman who toils not nor spins pass through a similar experience on a Broadway cable car. She stood it as long as she could, and then she brought her umbrella down between her and the obnoxious oreature with a thud that made every one stare. "All the women in the car took in the situation at a glance and shot such glances at the masher that he sneaked off the car after a block or two. "The little woman looked relieved, but sho forgot to relax the tense lines around her mouth, and the bright red spots did not fade from her cheeks. Since that I have used my own umbrella to stave off obnoxious persons."—New York Press.
