Twenty-firo Ye»m.

The question of a suitable pavement for main street now absorbing con' slderable of tho attention of the city, council and the leading business men and property owners of this city. Pros ecating the inquiry aa to what is the best paving material, the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette says: "Inasmuch as experience has taught ns to abandon limestone and bowlders and wood, is it not worth while to inquire whether there is not something better than granite or asphalt? In view of the fact that it is contemplated to expend a million dollars or more in the farther improvement of the streets* the authorities should investigate before moving forward. "Whatabout brick? Is this material to be condemned on sight without look ing into it thoroughly? It is our opin ion it should not be. There has been too much of this offhand business in Gincin nati, and the municipality hai paid dearly for it. Furthermore there is too much of a disposition to ignore old things for new dis^-overies. "Henry C. Urner, in conversation a few days ego, remarked that he had seen a street in Amsterdam in good condition paved with brick 100 years ago. "But we need not go to Amsterdam for informal^^Jpoluinbus has forty miles ofetr^f^vea vvitn. brick, and these BAFW PROVED BO satisfactory that the municiutility is going ahead with the work, aadfSproperjty-holders are paying the wtioiecost. "New York and Philadelphia are also using brick largely, and the latter-we are t*id, has demands greater than the supply. "Brick, we are informed, upon the same foundations that are used for asphalt cost one-third less than the latter, and as asphalt is cheaper than granite, the foundations of all being the same in durability and cost, the importance of this matter becomes at once apparent. "Let there be no more granite or asphalt contracts until the brick question ts thoroughly and impartially investigated, not in the interest of contractors or speculatore, but of the public. "Bloomington, III., has a brick pavement that is seventeen years old. Charleston, W. Va has one that is fifteen years old. Mr. Thomas, the superintendent of Mrs. Lauretta Gibson, of Mt. Auburn, has said that in1884 there was on Pine street. San Francisco, a brick pavement that had been in nse eight or nine years. The Pine street grade is in places as high as 8 j»er nt On Pine street is the Nevada bank, and Mr. Thomas said he saw eight or ten ton loads of silver taken to the b*uk. "lhe question has been asked whether this brick pavement will stand h»avy loads. Weil, the Baltimore A Ohio freight depots are paved as to their yards, una approaches with the Hallwood block. That ought to be sufficient testimony. But there is something more conclusive. It is from the circular of the Canton Brick Company.

The test of the Vitrified paving bricks made September 2, 1886, and the Pittsburg testing laboratory, No. 98 Fourth avenue, on Olson's 50,000 pounds testing machine. Test made on pieces about two inches square: "No. 1. Spalled at 32,200 pounds. ISot crushed. "No. 2. Cracked at 86,700 pounds. Spalled at 42,200 pounds. "No. 8, Spalled at 27,400 oounda. Not crushed. "No. 4. Spalled at 33,600 pounds. Not crushed.

No, 5. Spalled at 44,200 pounds. Not a "No. 2. Cracked very slight vat 86, tOO pounds, but did not begin to spall until the load reached 42,200 pounds. Not crushed.

There are bricks and bricks, and brick blocks and brick blocks. Columbus has found this out. So Cincinnati learned at soma cost that there is granite and granite. Now as to the cost of theae various pavements. It should be remembered that all are laid on the modern broftan stone or concrete foundation.

CAN'T WEAR TIGHTS-

A Bill p«Xh«f I* tk« lmtttr« PREVENT TII*lr CM. CHICAGO, March 12.—Among the theatrical managers of the country who are most vitally interested in the bill sow before the Minnesota legislature and which provides that any female who sbaii appear noon any stage or platform in tights or any other garments exposing the nether Umbs shall be liable to a heavy fine and along term of imprisonment David Henderson of the Chicago opera house, is probably the most prominent lie was the pioneer in tbe introduction into this country of the brilliant extravaganza which for scores of years have given pleasure to the theater-goers of London and the principal amusement citicsof England and the continent, and his most recent productions, "The Arabian Nights," "The Crystal Slipper," and "Bluebeard, Jr.'" in each of which scores of young women are compelled to expose their nether limbs, have been seen in about every town of any size between the hub and the Golden Gate. Just now arrangements are being made tor a tour of "The Crystal Slipper' through the territory affected by the pending measure, aud should the bill go through both houses and receive the governor's signature, next month's tour of "The Slipper" in Minnesota will ba the last opportunity that will be afforded to the granger residents of that state to mark the graceful curves, and the imposing outlines of the nether extremities of the hundred or so young ladies, whom Al&nager Henderson has gathered togethiuvnot only from this country, but from England, France, Germany and Italy. In conversation this morning Manager Henderson wa .inclined to regard the measure in question as a jest, and expressed the opinion that it would be killed before it could reach the governor. "It is a most absurd matter from beginning to ead^' -he Slid, "If the Dogberrys of Minnesota wish to keep their theaters closed a goodly share of the time this bill would be an expeditious means of so doing. They do not think in their virtuous indignation that in aiming this against immoral and vulgar performances, they banish the plays of Shakespeare ana nearly all the classic repertoire. There is scarcely a play of Shakspeare at present holding the boards in which it Is not necessary that one or more female characters shonld appear in tights. Apart from the heroines of Shakspeare, Rosalind, Viola, Imogene and many others, there are minor characters. Even in "Hamlet," there is the player queen who makes her first appearance in tigtts in Richard III., there is the elder prince played by a young woman." "But is there not too great freedom in the display of feminine charms in many stage performances?"

No doubt there is. Tights like everything else can be abused. But to assert that there is anything inherently immoral about them is simply ridiculous. One might as welt legislate to determine, the cut of the corsage of ladies in the boxes of a theater, because some women in cheap theaters aud vulgar performances cut their dresses low. Every now and then we encounter such spasms of holy horror on the part of ignorant hypo

One of the most daring burglaries ever committed in this city came to light today when a reporter fotiTira NBWS succeeded in securing the fact* in the case in spite of the efforts of the police to keep the matter quiet. On Tuesday night burglars entered the residence of Charles H. Goodwin, No. 319 south Third street and secured a diamond ring, a handsome garnet ring, and $6 20 in Inoiie^. On that evening Mr. and Mrs. Goodwin attended thesecond performance fehaoaadoah at the opera house and it| was quite late when they returned home. Mrs. Goodwin retired at once but mr. Goodwin remained in the sitting ro|m reading the evening papers and ii* was nearly 1 o'clock before he noted the rapid flight of time and retired for the night The burglars must have entered the house some time between midnight and morning as it is certain that k&o one had en' tared the house be for# Mr. Goodwin went to bed.

The burglary was oufe frf the most sj itematic and bestr'arranged affaire that has ever come to the notice of the police. An entrance to the house was effected through a rear window tjpdoor and then tbe4ntaruder set 'about to plunder the whole piace. Thtre Wat have been at least twro of the thieves and it is be Heved*lhat ther-e weri Hhree and tbB work was certainlv that if a professional, Mrs. Goodwin's diatnontt ring and a handsome garnet both of which were presents, oh^'wogv her mother, at the time of her grtjuation and one froth her husbaud, wwe in a bureau drawer and these were profcablv the firet articles of value secured. A purse containing a $5 gold piece and a $1 bill, besides twenty cents in change was also in the drawer and this too was taken. An other drawer containing ?Mra. Goodwin's gold watch and some either articles of iewelry was locked and the key was her dress pocket—or lorne other just Such place where i^o man could possibly find it. This diawer they did not attempt to force—probably for fear of awakening those about the house, but the thief at once proceeded with a systematic search for valuables,

The china closet was ransacked from top to bottom and the silver wane taken out. Mr. Goodwin's clothes were taken, and together with everything else they could lay hands on wef# carried to t&e kitchen" where they were saarqjjed Even Mrs. Goodwin's work$lpS&fcet was rummaged through iu hopes of finding a gold or silver tftimble marked articles were not touched "everything about the house was turned topsy turvy great piles of various articles were found ... on the floor where UwyJiad been left,af-

cranny where any article of

cranny where any

value could possibly be secreted was searched. The article mentioned were, however, all that was secured, thieves disdaining to take anything tkat WAS marked or anything that could not be readily converted into cash.

After ransacking the place thoroughly the thieves proceeded to have a jolly time They went into the pantry and helped themselves to some of Mr. Goodwin's choice wine and then opened a box of cigars and took out enough of the fragrant Havanss to make them comfortable for some time to come. The value of the rings aggregates $150, the diamond ring being worth $125, and the garnet ring $26, making the haul worth $161.20 to the thieves. The matter was reported to the police and Detective James Pierce is Investigating it, but up to noon to-day bad secured no clue.

The residence of W. W. Black, No. 122 north Fourteenth street, was entered by burglars on Monday night but the intruders simply entered the pantry and helped themselves to a square meal. No money or valuables were taken.

THE FIGHT POSTPONED. SB DlfHenltles Wet With in Arranging th« Preliminaries.

The long contemplated Curran-SlusSir' which was to have come off Tuesday night failed to materialise because of the inability of the backets of the two men to get Tomlinson Hall in Indianapolis, as was expected. For this reason the fight has been declared off for tbe pres est. It may oossibly come off the last of this month or the funtaf next- Should the fight have come off Tues day night Curran would undoubtedly have made a hard fight as he has been undergoing severe training for the past few weeks. This coatee ol training has consisted of repeatedly running back and forward between this city and Maxville daily and the turnpike has been pressed into a verv solid mam by Cnrrurs busy feet

Farelgn Xew*.

PARIS, March 12. M. Ronvier, minister of finance, convened a number of leading financial houses last evening and invoked their assistance to save a well known company which is seriously, affected by the Argentine troubles. The bank of France was asked to aid in the movement, but the officials intimated that they would not be just fled in s« doing. The amount required is 60,000,000 franc?. The Dtx-Neuvleme Siec-le says the company in difficulties isLe Societe dee Depots et Comptes Courant, which has only 18,000,000 francs to meet the claims aggregating 68,000,000 francs. Ibe result of last evenings meeting hat not yet been made pabtic, but the impression is that the embarrassed company will be forced to suspend. There is great excitement to-day on the bourse ami in financial circles generally over the aj&ura.
