In matter of thta kind the toast ex pensive plan la fur the offending dis tiller to pay the congressman a fee. That aettlen- 't and does not place hlui under everlasting obligations to the man who represented him before the guvemtnet.t. But It Is nut the cheaper1 plan for the congressman and It is the more dangerous. Mr. Blackburn, however, should aek vindication and not -vengeance. When his own skirts have been cleared he can well and properly afford to attack Mr. Holt on. Warfare pn Holton now la not a defense of Ulackburn and the luttar can be better prepared to give the public the startling and astounding and sensational revelations after he Is rid of the charges which hung over his own head. The FVce Skating Craic. V Nobody, of course, will be inclined lo object seriously to the harmless sport which the boys and girls of this town find In skating along the sidewalk, for all of us know that It is a craze or a fad which will soon pass out of popu lar favor. Those of us who have grown older and those of us who have .not, find a certain kind of amusement In watching the antics of the young- I sters and the skill they display in tak ing care of their bone? and hides while cutting in and out of the crowds that pass along, if the streets are to be given up to the skaters, however, the skaters should be children and . not men. and Inasmuch as this la a free country we take it for granted that the colored people have as much right to enjoy themselves as the whites. But there 1b danger of the thing being car ried to extremes and the spirit of bit ter rivalry may not be well for the community. For our own part we are glad that the 'boys and the girls can ba,ve this .free. sport. . They cannot af ford to pay the admission price Into the halls where it holds forth, and as the sprlnp. comes on the number . will naturally be increased wonderfully So it is just as well to designate the "skating line of demarkatidnli iittefore the rush begins in earnest. New York is one ctty where trades men have their names and advertise ments painted on . tho tops as well as on the sides of theif delivery wag ons. In other cities upper floors of buildings are mostly used for sleeping, and parlors and sitting rooms- are usuv ally on .the first floors..'. Ja New York the majority live at an altitude from which , it Is impossible to- see the let tering on the side of a "wagon, and. the merchant's advertisement ' would be seen by va fern, it it were not tn the roof. t , Bhe is t years old, and her father is a travelling mah.-' When tha cnrtaln rises he is at home and -she.

Kor a loug time the most famous nectarines sold here came frvtn the grernhousea of a rich New Torker. H was rather more Vuslncasllke in such matters than most men of hbi kind, for hia guests never got any fruit but what was too poor to sell. Disposing of their fruit ia this way makes it possible to keep the country greenhouses open all winter." ...... X'H always takes a cold spell of winter to 'bring the electric fans Into th shop-, windows on Fltth amie. A sudden " drop in tne tempurattre rwill set tbem whirling during the morning hours. They are not there for purposes of ventilation nor to cool the air of the shop. They servo it very-useful purpose, howevur, when the windows, are cleaaed. , The. cur rents of air keep' the temperature In the windows cool enough to prevent the water on the other side of the grass from frecxing. That explains the mysterious presence of the elec tric fans when the weather is at freezing point. At the recent dinner of the Friend ly Sons of St Patrick in honor ot Justice FMigcrald, J. I. C. Clarke, who was presiding, made a clever answer to one of tho diners who in terrupted his speech introducing the guest of the evening. Mr. Clarke had just said that Jus tice Fitzgerald was sent to the Leg islature at I" ' years' of age, when some one shouted ont "From the gas house." ' ,: . ", '. ? V ' " "we don't care wnetlier it was front the gas house or - any other house," said Mr. Clarke, "and had It not been' for am accident "of birth 1t might end to the WBHH6use." Some of the trust - companies in Brpoklyn'are hustlingr tar business as though competition were keen. Soon after a social.directory was published recently a woman whose name ap pears in it received circulars from tbrea trust companies asking for her housekeeping account. Then adver tisements lauding this Institution and that appeared In the trolley cars,' and Anally up went :a big'poster on the billboards alongside, of the, pictures of : the Fluff-fluff ,'Butlesquers, It struck, some .persons with i old-fashioned Ideas about the conservatism of flnancial institutions as strangle' to see the . virtues, of a trust company proclaimed from a bill board Id the opening of the years fixed golf contests, the Florida open cham pionship at Palm Beach, the greatest honors were won by golfers wrho learned the game here."
