PETTY PILFERERS.
A Gang of Grocery Thieves Finally
Broken Up.
During the past month numerous complaints
have been made to the Chief ol Police by whole
sale merchants In the section east of Montgom
ery street and extending to the water front about
the operations ol a gang of petty thieves. Day
after day small thefts were committed, now lo
one quarter and again Id another. Watch was
kept by different merchants, but without avail;
tbe pilfering of butler, ham, eggs aod lea still
went on.
Captain Lees put three detectives on the case,
and for the last two weeks tney have been devot
ing all their energies to effecting the capture of
the gaug. The efforts ol the detectives have
Been crowned with success, not only as regards
the thieves, and a breaking up ot lue gang, but
also Id the recovery ol a larger part ol the stolen
properly.
The detectives soon discovered that there was
a gang nt woik committing the thetls, but It was
some time before the member* were "spoiled."
It was discovered that the thefts were commuted
at all hours, and that three men were concerned
ln lhe operations. Two of the gang operated on
the stores, while the third acted as receiver and
disponed of tlie stolen properly. The detectives
recoveied little by little portions of the pilfered
wares, and finally obtained evidence euough to
locate and capture the whole gang.
The ibree men were arrested last night and
placed on the "small book." No charge has as
yet been placed against their names, lhe detect
ives being still engaged lv worklug up evidence
against tlier.i.
Captain Lees stated last night that there was
already sufficient evideuce lo convict the mem
bers ol tbe gaug, Who certainly worked their
game very smoothly.
Among the stoics from winch propeity was
Stolen weie the lollowing: Two boxes of tea
from California and Davis streets; eight hams
from California street, between Montgomery
and Kearnv; two boxes eggs from the sldewal*
00 .Maiket street, opposite the l'alace Hotel j
three hams from Sacramento street, between
Davis and liiiimm; two sacks of potatoes from
Davis and Caliiornia sireets; two sucks of pota
toes and one box of eegs fiom Battery street,
between Washington and Clay; one box of eggs
from Sacramento and Front streets.
The detectives have also recovered a large
lament ot groceries stolen from parties un
known. They request Ihat the owners come
forward and make their losses known. Ills
thought thai many merchants have beeu robbed
In small amounts besides those inneil. aDd
have uot said anything about their losses on ac
count of the small value of the articles.
'I here is almost enough unclaimed property

MASSACHUSETTS MANUFACTURES.
Souse lutereitlne Information Furuished
by a Keceut llejiort.
Though the fact that the data given are
those of 1888 militates somewhat agaiust its
interest, the report on "The Growth of
Manufactures," issued by the Bureau of
Statistics of Labor, has, nevertheless, a
decided value, from the great variety of in
formation brought iuto a convenient
compass for reference. The history
of manufacturing in the State of Massa
chusetts Is divided into three periods—
that previous to 1815, that of transi
tion from 1815 to the close of 1830, and
thirdly, the fifty years from 1830 to tlie date
of tabulation. In 1885 the combined prod
ucts of agriculture aud the fisheries and the
income Irom commerce amounted to but
$67,134,099, wliile the products of manu
facturing and mechanical industries were
valued at (671.631.269. Of the 23,131 firms and
corporations covered by the enumeration,
and making up the total for the State, nine
teen wero established between 1636 and 1700
and thirty-four belweu 1701 and 1770. An
establishment which dates back to ir>36 lias
a remarkable antiquity for the United
States, and a very respectable one for any
country, siuce it antedates the Bank of
England by more than half a century. Af
ter 1830 the rapid development of manufact
uring in Massachusetts gave a great impe
tus to the establishment of firms aud cor
porations; 705 were started between 1831 to
1840. From 1866 to 1870 2396 were estab
lished, but this record Is left behind by
the period 1881-85, whence 1985 dated the
beginning of their careers. The report
cautions readers against the hasty assump
tion that the establishments. 22.131. existiug
in 188."), include all of the 22,228 existing ten
years before, and comparisons are there
fore between sets of aggregates of periods.
Summarized the value of goods made and
work done in 1875 was $528,888,634, and
8674,631,269 In 1885. The proportion of
firms to corporations is thus given in the
report.
In 1883 the private firms represented
-95.95 per cent of the whole number of es
tablishments engaged in manufacturing
and mechanical industries In the State,
39.84 per ceni of partners and stockholders,
39.94 per cent of the total amount of capital
invested, 63.52 per cent of the total value of
stock used, 61.79 per cent of the total value
of goods made and work done, 61.35 per
cent of the whole number of persons em
ployed during the census year, and 6331
per ceut of the total wages paid during the
same period. The percentages for corpo
rations exceed those for private firms in
but two particulars— in the number of
stock-holders as compared with the num
ber of partners, and in the amount of
capital invested.— Boston Transcript.
TO THE GUILLOTINE.
The Streets the Mournful Procession
I't.efl It, I', a- 'through.
A never-ending procession of victims.
fays the Saturday Review, passed down the
Kue St. Ilonore to the Palace de la Revolu
tion, ci-devant place Louis XV, where the
principal guillotine had been erected.
There were guillotines, however, in several
other parts of the city, and it was no un
common matter for a person going out shop
ping in the morning to meet with three or
four processions of unhappy beings pro
ceeding to execution. A well-organized
baud of furies usually accompanied them,
shouting and bowling insults and cries of
"Death !" Early in 17.4 protests were made
by residents along the lines of route to the
guillotines that sensitive persons were be
ginning to avoid those streets, and that this
did great harm to their commerce. They
therefore petitioned that the routes should
be at least occasionally changed. Later on
another request was made to the National
Assembly concerning tha unhealthy condi
tion of the Place de la Revolution, literally
steeped in blood, which emitted a horrible
ami dangerous stench.
Strange, however, as it may seem, many
of these executions, notably those of im
portant personages, were attended by great
numbers of apparently respectable people,
and the Moniteur contained many adver
tisements to the effect that "So-and-so hires
out chairs to witness the guillotining of,
say, Louis. XVI, or Mme. Roland, or in
deed of any conspicuous person, at so
much an hour." A contemporary en
graving representing the execution of
Louis XVI shows up a crowd of well
dressed people, comfortably seated in their
chairs, placed on a high and well-built
wooden stand, and not a few of them are
using their opera-glasses. Duval is shocked
when he records that during the massacres
of September on dansait en banlieue. In
fact, the gay and volatile nature of the
Parisians could not be suppressed, and
some by no means badly (mentioned peo
ple made a sort of fete of the tragic events
which were perpetually occuring.

New York Not a city of Homes for Ita
People.
New York is not a city of homes except
for the favored few. These must be able
to invest from $30,000 to 8100.000 in that
" home," and spend from SIO.OOO to $23,000
a year to keep up the establishment I live
in a modest flat on Sixty-ninth street, west
side, about midway between the Hud
son River and Central Park, paying
$40 a month for that privilege. The
Jsame flat three squares nearer the Ele
vated railroad station would bring $00 per
month. There are solid rows of residences
about and being built near me, not one of
which can be purchased for less than
8*30,000, and they run all the way up to
8100.000. It costs from 87000 to 825.000 to
furnish one of these appropriately. Stroll
ing up Ninth avenue tlie other day I noted
a sign-board on a vacaut lot between two
residences on a side street Eighty-first
street: "This lot and party walls, 000."
It was only the regulation twenty-four foot
lot, but the cellar had been excavated.
Fancy a man in Philadelphia or Pittsburg
Investing such a sum in such a lot five or six
miles from bis business. I asked a con
tractor about the matter. Hn tells me tnat
almost any lot on the west side of Central
Park will cost 810,000 excavated, and de
sirable ones 815.000 up. The cost of ex
cavating a shallow cellar for a high-stoop
residence is considerable, as the solid
rock must be quarried. The steam drills
are -. at it in every direction. There
are six of them hustling away within
pistol-shot of me and the dynamite explo
sions of the blaster rattle you up in almost
any block north of Fifty-ninth street. At
tbe present rate of building, within the
next five years there will not be an acre of
vacant ground the whole length of the
great park. Each succeeding year makes
all this still more and more expensive.

THE MORNING CALL, SAN FRANCISCO, SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1890-EIGHT PAGES.
A SUMMER CHANGE.
How One Woman Gets it Without
Leaving Her Own Home.
The Philosophy of a Complete Bet of Hew Im
prenionj— A Summer Widower K-gaini
His Wife— A Second Honeymoon.
Special to Tax Mousing Call.
This is the season when the city
house greets you with pursed-up lips
and hands behind Its back, as if to say:.
" What's your business here? Don't you
know that every well-regulated person
leaves town before the Fourth of July?"
Its windows are boarded and its doors
bolted and barred. If, perchance, any life
stirs behind its masque of desolation, it
walks with bated breath In dim rooms,
amid white-clothed furniture and book
cases swathed in sheets, like a ghost prowl
ing at night in a graveyard.
One house in a tree-shaded street does
not share this aspect of desolation. The
turf in its front yard is green and not dust
covered. There are wide, cool-looking
awnings above its windows and a honey
suckle vine w hich clambers up by the front
steps is in full blossom. The woman of
this establishment is one whose name most
of you, propably. would recocnize. Though
her books have a. fame that Is growing, she
has not rid herself of a certain old-fashioned
view of wifely obligations. "Why should
I," she said to a bird of passage yester
day at a quaint little lunch that was a fare
well banquet in view of the bird's flitting,
"why should 1 be my husband's better-(off)
--half and 'recuperate,' while he lives at a
stuffy boarding-house and is deprived of the
home comforts that make the heat of the
city endurable? What we all need in the
summer is change. 1 have taken the money
that tvvo months in the mountains or at the
seashore would cost me aud contrived an
entire change for myself, for my husband
and for our two grown-up sons right here.
It's fair play all round."
Fair play is something so admirable and,
in the matter of summer vacations, so rare,
that by your leave I am going to describe
for the benefit of "Summer widowers" in
city or country, her "change." "It has
transformed the house so completely," said
its mistress, "that we quite forget we
are in town and fancy ourselves, when the
moon comes up and the scent is strong from
the honeysuckles, away off in some restful
spot iv a second honeymoon. We've not
stent a summer together iv two years.
The boys laugh at us because we actually
hold hands."
The change began with the hall. 1 should
like to see what my friend, the literary
woman with her ideas about "a complete
alteration of surroundings," would do with
the conventional city hall, but as it hap
pens—now please don't tell me It always
does happen so in Utopian sketches, be
cause this tale is true— it so happens that
her house is in a new nuil rather unconven
tional block and, moreover, is on a Corner.
Thus it comes about that her hall is of the
nature of a small reception-room, with
stairway on the left, fireplace opposite the
entrance and doors on the right to the par
lors. The finish is oak, and the tones of
the wall-paper a pale olive and cream.
From this hall she has removed the carpet.
it was A RICH DEEP J...1>
And it is a part of her theory that red is to
be banished lv June that it may come back
with double cheer in November— auu had a
dark oak stain applied to the flour. This
was a part of her "spring cleaning," during
which the above-mentioned husband and
sons went on a week's fishing exclusion.
Just in front of the stairs she lias placed a
rug of soft, cool-looking colors, and in the
door-ways, In lieu of the heavy clieullle por
tieres, she has hung two of the bamboo and
bead curtains that ate sold in the Japanese
stores, but are made at home very easily by
stringing the ban biro aud beads on fish
lines fastened to a pine strip. To get a
"wholly new impression" she has takeu
out the bat-rack, substituting a pretty little
glass of oak with irou hooks and a small
oval mirror in the middle. The room thus
gained Is given to reed-bottomed piazza
chairs, ready when the sun is gone to be
taken outside. In the fireplace stands a big
jug mottled olive aud brown and filled
when I saw it with daisies. "He becomes
another man," she says, "the minute he en
ters this other hall."
When "he" passes into the parlors his
otherness must be intensified. These are
iv line front and rear, the back parlor be
ing fitted as a library. Here, too, the car
pels have come up and the heavy curtains
down. The woodwork is cherry. I think
uiy friend was tempted to enamel it— think
of the itching of one's fingers with enamel
at -0 cents a pot but she bravely refrained.
She has laid the floors with that fine
Japanese matting which is so firm
and close of texture and so odd
in desigu, with its scattered hiero
glyphs oi brown Eastern characters, and
withal so cbeap, costing only 20 cents a
yard. The walls are papered a delicate
pink, and this, though reluctantly, she has
suffered to stay, and turued to the windows
for further expression of her revolutionary
Ideas. "My windows," she says, "are the
eyes of my house, through which I look
out at the world and it looks in ou me."
These eyes she has new lidded for
the refreshment of vacation gazing
with a pink-flowered cretonne in one
of the summer designs of scattered sprays
on a cream ground. "Cretonne sounds
cheap at 30 cents the yard," she answered
doubtingly, "but these curtains had to be
lined with a cream-colored sateen (cream
and gold are the colors for lining, because
the more delicate sateens fade) and the
cost of making was so much that, although
they are so very pretty, I should take
Chinese silk hangings if 1 had it to do over
again."
For sash curtains inside the draperies
she has used a cream-colored muslin, flecked
with large spots of pink aud ecru. It comes,
I think, fifty inches wide and costs 40 cents
a yard.
But the furniture.' " .My parlor things,"
this iv half-apologetic explanation, "needed
upholstering, so instead of putting them
into linen overalls, I just sent them away."
In their stead she has not put in
a great MANY ARTICLES,
For nobody wauts to see a summer vaca
tion liouse crowded, but lias bought a few
pieces of wicker furniture, which costs less
than rattan ana can't be twisted into
shapes so preposterously ugly. These she
lias left of their natural color and lilted
with India silk cushions. The gem of the
room is a long wicker lounge with two
beads, over which, tbat it may Mill be cool
aud yet not too bard to the feelings, has
been thrown one of those queer-looking
Bagdad curtains that everybody thinks so
artistic. These are woven by hand by the
native workmen in stripes nine inches wide.
Five solid colored stripes are then sewed to
gether and the figured pattern put on in
loose-meshed stitchery. My friend's cur
tain is brown, stitched with pink and cream,
and the lounge is heaped wltb six puffy
cretonne cushions. Here that nappy "— ,
I wonder if 1 mightn't call him Richard, es
pecially as it isn't his name, stretches him
self when his heart aches and his limbs grow
tired. You don't have company iv the city
in summer and you can stretch yourself,
even in your parlor, on something cool aud
clean and long, aud forget care.
In the back parlor in a window recess
stands a student chair in wicker, in which,
as I understand the situation, "Richard,
wheu he isn't lying on the lounge, reads bis
newspapers. It bas a high square back and
a broad, roomy seat; it is cushioned with
cretonne and it has a basket at its side for
waste literature.
From the high wood overmantels In both
rooms all the familiar bric-a-brac lias been
taken away, "lf 1 saw that little Hindoo
idol X took such delight in all winter, 1 am
sure I should find out," said my friend,
"that I hadn't really gone away." The pol
ished wood lias been left to show Itself cool
and bare, with here a scarf of India silk
and there a rose jar or a quaintly shaped
pitcher. Some of the pictures have been
taken down aud etchipgs substituted.
"My one extravagance!" smiled the lady,
as she pointed to a delightful marine iv
water colors hung opposite the couch, "to
rest Richard's eyes." I feel obliged to find
space somewhere to say that Kichard Is a
broker, but that I believe lie ls appreciative.
These summer parlors do not run. to
screens, but to cut off draughts where all
the windows are opeu is a frame of light
bamboo, standing by ."Richard's" couj.li and
hung with breadths of India silk in pink,
with a geometrical design iv cream— all the
new India-silk patterns are conventional
—and making a pleasant nook elsewhere ls
another covered with Japanese paper. A
little table of painted maple and the great
flower-jugs In the corners and the book
shelves merit attention, but it Is necessary
to pass to the dining-room, which is en suite
with the parlors, and like them lias a floor
covered with : matting, with an " art
square" in
TERRA COTTA COLORINGS
Under the oak ; table. Perhaps I did not
say that on the parlor floors one or two rugs
are used, but not in sufficient numbers to
be hot looking. - The dining-room curtains
are silk - stripes, as they are called." Tbe
material is really a lisle thread In ecru,
barred horizontally .; with green. In :■ the
middle of tbo lable stands a rose bowl, and
morning, noon and night this Is kept filled.
My enthusiasm ' carried me , upstairs ; per
haps yours will not mount to the : second
story. "It r would '- be , the same old city
house," insisted this Quixotic woman, "un
less I bad a fresh bed-chamber. - " Her
pretty room has I pale green woodwork | and
the walls are done in a pattern of flower
ing hops in wbite and green. Here again
Bite had not time or courage for any
• radical alterations, perhaps . even there
was an attachment to the pretty pa
per, but a change of expression ha.
been got if not a change of features by hav
ing down the white lace curtains aud hav
ing up "art draperies" of printed muslin in a
rustic vine pattern of green on a white
ground. "No one could grudge one such a
trilling satisfaction," smiled she triumph
antly, "for the stuff is forty-six Inches wide
and costs only 17 cents a yard." The
dressing-table is bung with the same cool
fabric, and it makes the canopies of the brass
and iron bedstead. Here, as' downstairs,
there is matting for the floor covering. A
deep window-seat is cushioned with green
and white chintz, and along the window
ledge lies a window-bolster for the head or
the arm if one curls up for a breath of the
cool night in such a tempting situation. A
wonderful sleepy hollow lounging-cbair,
steamer-chair length, is of wicker, with
chintz head-rest. Two or three little pic
tures, such as one gets with the best of the
art magazines, are framed in white lace
frames.
For the " boys' rooms "—boys are always
boys to their mothers, though men crown—
the summer novelty is curtains of sheer
white muslin, a very old style revived.
They have a tambour-pattern decoration,'
and are infinitely prettier than the nottiug
hains. '._."•'.
There ought to be room to talk about the
hangings of split bamboo to wall in the
little piazza, but since there isu't, 1 must
say that there is a hammock swung across
one corner of the back parlor. It sounds
profane, but those parlors are meant to be

BREEDING PLATYPI.
A New and Interesting Feature of
the Park in Melbourne.
Bow These Unique mats Are Fed and
Cared For— lhair Habits and Strange
Peculiarities.
A recent number of the Melbourne Argus
had a long article on the great aquarium of
that city. Among other things it said:
One of the most interesting features of
the aquarium will, before very long, b*< the
platypus collection. Now that the difficulty
of keeping thera in captivity has been so
satisfactorily settled steps are being taken,
with the assistance of Mr. Hagenauer and
the Lake Tyers blacks to increase the col
lection. With the present pair to act as
tutors to Iho "new chums," no difficulty is
anticipated in feeding Ihem artificially,,
though at one time it seemed certain the
experiment would be nded with failure.
For animals naturally shy the pair in the
aquarium have rapidly accustomed them
selves to a seini-domeslic life aud associa-
tion with mankind. The plan of feeding
them with a box full of turf sods contain
ing snails, slugs and earthworms half im
mersed in the water, has already been de
scribed, in the Argus. Each platypus allows
itself to be taken up in the hand of a visi
tor — indeed, rather invites attentions of
that kind.
'THEY RECOGNIZE TIIEin IIOSTS,
Too, and now search their hands for food,
which at one time they couid not be per
suaded to take in this way. They seem to
trust entirely to the senses of touch and
smell when fossicking in the wet moid,
the small bright eyes being covered witli
white lids, between which only an occa
sional twinkle is seen. When sleeping in
tlie nest they lie with the bill folded back
between the front legs, aud the broad
beaver tail lapping over the bill so as to
form almost a bail of very indefinite shape.
The appearance of the forelegs of the
platypus is that of : ■ r. :
A VKIIY BROAD HAND
On a short, thick forearm, with a soft web
between the fingers, In swimming this
hand is fully exteuded, but when they move
on dry laud it is folded, as though the hand
were "clenched, the platypus thus walking
on its knuckles. The quickness with which
the bill is used in searching for food sug
gests that the burrow in which the
platypus lives, aud the opening of
which is generally beneath the water,
afterward Inclining upward to the
dry bank, is hollowed out with the bill and
not with the feet. Those who live by
streams tenanted by the platypus have
noticed that it is generally abroad by
day when there is a flood iv the stream.
-No doubt food is more plentiful and
more easily obtaiued then, but the
rise of the water in the burrow probably
necessitates the platypus leading a sort
OF VAGABOND LIFE,
And liviug where It can until the burrow is
again fit for occupation. The burrow is
sometimes a very long one, and nests of
young ones have been rooted out by dogs
some distance above the ordinary water
level. Like the seal, the platypus uses its
flappers very deftly to scratch its fur when
lying out on the grass, and it appreciates
little attentions of that kiud quito as mani
festly as the white cockatoo in the aviary,
who Invites visitors :to "scratch cocky's
poll." The little tank now occupied by the
platypi is a model home, as there is always
a trickle of water through it. The slopiug
bank has been sown with buffalo grass,
and the

Float in the pool, In this connection it
may be suggested that with an increased
collection the pool could be enlarged in
size, and made to include some of the at
tractive features of a lily pond, since every
thing aquatic is of interest in an aquarium.
Possibly one or other of the blue,
pink or orange waterlilies which flower
in the poods of the Botanical Gar
dens in Sydney might thus, with a little
artificial aid, be successfully grown in Mel
bourne. The blue lily and the pink lily
both grow in Australia, the former being
found on the Hunter River, New South
Wales, the other further north. The yellow
lily is an English hybrid, first grown iv the
gardens of the Duke of Devonshire. For
aquarium purposes it is necossary that the
platypus collection should be increased, if
possible, to a dozen at least, so that visitors
may depend upon always finding some of
them abroad throughout the day.
THE OFFICE OF SORROW.
It Is the Most Important Condition In
Our s,.iiitrr-il Development.
The most important of all the conditions
affecting the spiritual development ot man
kind has been sorrow.
In death, the common lot of all, even the
rich and the strong havo beheld the de
spoiler of ail their vain shows. Against
the inevitable calamities which shatter or
dissolve the works of man's hand—
quake and tempest and flood— no human
power has availed- These lessons of na
ture, who is no respecter of classes or per
sons, as to the frailty of all human power
and possession, have profoundly impressed
all hearts. Doss has led to precious gain.
But the greatest of human . sufferings,
those which embitter all life, have been of
human infliction. The situation of the
great majority of mankind in ancient times
—those of which we have any definite record
—was one of abject wretchedness. Arcady
existed only in the poet's fancy. In a state
of barbarism men's wants were few and
simple, but their passions were violent, and
for the weak there was no security. Every
desirable garden on the earth was a bait
to the rapacity of conquest, the arena of In
vasion, following upon invasion, like the
waves of a hungry sea. Civilization, on the
other band, was organized selfishness, and
Its peace was, for the great body of people,
a level desolation. * Their lot was one of
humiliating drudgery, of depressing, hope
less poverty.
But it was especially unto the poor that
the Gospel of the Eternal Word was
preached. -. To such the voice of God comes
nearer, because it is more willingly and
gladly heard. The broken heart is open;
. there is no pride to close the way thereunto.
An angel whispers in the oar of every slave,
and upon him who hath nothing all heaven
waits. * . .;
Sorrow, too, lies near ■ true repentance, ;
even as the broken . becomes '• readily the
contrite heart ; pride has no place In '.* the
chastened and subdued mood. • The soul,'
weary of struggle and Its own discontent,
receives the divine voice and Is comforted.
Even one's ignorance may help him here,
in . this , soft, unresisting attitude, making
him more readily the recipient of the- di
vine wisdom, more pliant to the counsels of
the 1 Spirit of Love.— From - God in His
.World. ;"■'■■; ' ■■■ •..■." : V ■■■;--.

LE MARQUIS
DE LA FAYETTE.
New Anecdotes of the Crave
r; J Frenchman.
A Very Plearant Incident That Brought Up
Btcollecticns of the Undying Friendship
- Between the Slater Republics.
Special Correspondence ot The Mousing Call
Paris, June 8, 1890. — The fact that
Colonel Gonraud, in the name of La
Fayette Post, G. A. R., placed flow
ers on the . tomb of General de la Fay
ette made a very pleasant impression in
Fiance, and the old refrain of undying
friendship between the sister republics is
again the theme of every tongue.
Not long before bis death Count de Beau
mont, a grandson of General do la Fayette,
told me many interesting facts concerning
the great hero. Among others he said that
l'iepus Cemetery, where rests his illustrious
grandfather, is one of the curious corners
of historic Paris. The dead who there re
pose lived in time of agitation, and were
all beheaded in 1793. There are 1300, and
all came from the Place dv Trone, where
the guillotine never wearied of its bloody
work.
There are poets, Andre, Chenier and
Roucher; lawyers, like Linguet; statesmen
and warriors, liko Gratnont, Rohan, Roche
fort, Roquelaure, etc., and In the midst of
these lies the Marquis de la Fayette, Libera
tor of America. Count de Beaumont told
me also what Americans do not know, and
what perhaps the French have never heard :
General de la Fayette counted every cent
that be spent in the American war for inde
pendence. His business manager calculated
that liberty cost the General 1,033,000 francs,
or S2OG.COO. "But," adds the General, in
his expense book, "as iluriug this war I
returned to Europe twice it would not be
just to attribute all this sum to objects of
public utility. In reality the same service
might have been rendered for ICO.OOO francs
($20.000.."
In all General do la Fayette spent more
than 8300,003 lor liberty; this same ex
pense book shows that in 1789 lie was
obliged to sell his lauds and diminish his
income. Ills journeys to America, Ger
many, Batavlan affairs, and the preliminary
events of the French revolution caused ex
pense. The General bought a house at
Cayenne and tried to free slaves; this at
tempt
COST AUOUT 825,000
But he was not ruined, lor during the
French Revolution his income was nearly
810,000. The "business manager" explains
how liberty cost so much; the General
bought a ship. La Victoire, at Bordeaux,
and on bis second voyage to America he
carried swords, saddles, epaulettes, gold
lace, tents, etc., valued at 870,000. The
same amount of money was sent from
America to Bcauinarciiais and his other
friends.
The heirs of La Fayette seemed to think
8300,000 too much to spend for liberty, but
they are now content, because of the grati
tude and affection of Americans. Cer
tainly Lafayette was recompensed; he be
came the idol of America, the idol of
France; he satisfied his chivalrous tastes;
mothers held their children for his embrace;
the palace at Versailles was decorated in
his honor; the Queen smiled on this amia
ble Marquis, who did much toward cutting
off her bead: his colors became those of bis
country. At last he betrayed liberty, and
although another would have lost his popu
larity. La Fayette was spared. He died, and
all Paris followed him to bis grave.
The heirs of La Fayette are wealthy and
hold high positions; but there are some
nobles of the old regime who are poor, so
poor that they are driven to fraud iv order
to furnish food aud shelter to their starving
families.
Among these is the Marquis de Boycr
d'Eguille, who married Miss* Fuller of
Philadelphia, heiress of the Chase millions.
The Marquis tried to win his wife's suit,
and, as has been many times related,
sacrificed all his possessions but gained
nothing. Desperate he placed bis wife
and two children in an apartment
that rented at $80 a year, but even that
small rental be was not able to pay. Paris
banking bouses were visited iv order to find
money with which to advance bis wife's
claims, tradesmen In his neighborhood
were petitioned for small loans, and to all
his creditors be cave glowing discretions
of the wealth that would one day pour into
his coffers.
VAIN ILLUSIONS.
The money did not appear, and the anx
ious tradespeople combined to bring to
justice the too hopeful Marquis. Bur, at
the trial, his sad story, his evident sincerity
made so favorable an Impression on Judge
and jury that the Marquis Bnyer d'Eguille
left the court-room a free man. Let us
hope that In the future he will be more
successlul in his pursuit of fortune.
Another case, not so interesting because
the parties are guilty, is that of Count and
Countess de Maulmont, accused of appro
priating sums given them for charitable
purposes. This venerable couple had for a
number of years collected sums of money
foi the Asylum of Abandoned Children
and for other institutions, but about one
year ago, as complaints bad been made to
the administration that the money received
bad not been accounted for. Count and
Countess de Maulmont wore watched, and
it was discovered that their sole means ot
existence during the past five or six years
had been the money received for tbe chari
table associations.
To-day, iv spite of their age and historical
name, they are in prison, and condemned
there to remain for months to come.
These Democratic times aro hard on the
old aristocracy; there are still grand titles
in France, but very few great inheritances.
Fortunes have been divided and redivided,
and the sous of great families do not find it
so easy to redorer leurs blasons by marry
ing rich American girls. But the nobles
who commit fraud are very, very lew, hap
pily. The motto "Xoblesse oblige" still
lias a meaning in Frauce, and the majority
of French noblemen would prefer starva
tion to dishonor. When you road that an
American woman of advanced age, one,

Historical names rush madly after dollars
be these dollars possessed oven by vulgar
ignorance, that is no proof that the entire
French nobility bus fallen to this level of
degradation. But idleness and want of
union is rapidly hastening the financial
ruin of French nobles; once nobles were
supported from the royal treasury; to-day,
fortune belongs only to the laborious. Once,
the King allowed certain sums to each
noble, "to support himself in the manner
necessary for his rank." lt was Louis XV,
I think, who, weary of the demands 'upon
his treasury, tried to give a taste for com
merce, and even trade, to his nobles. He
Cut in circulation Abbe Coyer's books,
ooks that showed how a gentleman can
work, without in any way lowering his
rank. The King paid this Abbe about $500
a year for writing these little works, but the
grand seigneurs who followed his counsels
were soon in financial trouble, and the
poor King found his plan a failure. He
then organized a society for the relief of
" poor nobility." This was supported by
a royal lottery, and the gentlemen accepted
aid from this society with the pride of a
Spanish beggar. But with the Revolution
disappeared this source, of assistance for
poor nobles, and unions of tills kind are
what is needed to-day. The Baroness de
Cambourg, . aided by a number, of noble
Frenchwomen, has founded a society for
the assistance of " decayed gentlewomen,"
those who cannot work and are too proud
to beg. The amount of good accomplished
by this society is marvelous, but Paris
needs others of the kind to prevent the re
currence of sad cases, such as I have above

"SUCKER FLAT."
Nobody Knows Bow a Mining Tentnr*
|g£g|lla!'Tarn Oat.
Some years ago General Noble, now Secre
tary of the Interior, was persuaded to invest
in some mining property in Southwest Mis
souri. The lead and zinc mines are of com
paratively recent development, and quite a
number of people have made small fortunes
in them. J It is what is known as a " poor
man's mining country. Almost all the
ground is owned or leased by men of I little
capital, the more common form of operation
being on a royalty. Capitalists - who make
purchases around Joplin or Carthage usually
lease the property in small lots to men who!
will sink shafts and develop it. In this
way * the : Garrisons ;(a branch :of the New
Yoik : family, famous in railroad history)
have made a substantial fortune, and others:
have been almost as well rewarded. . It was
the influence of ; the I Garrison example aud
the earnest argument of other mine-owners
that ; persuaded Mr. Noble . to make an | in
vestment ■ of $3000 in a piece of property
which was represented to bim as most
promising. -'.
It was after the property had been pur
chased that the miners in the neighborhood
christened it "Sticker Flat," for the mine
had been * judiciously "salted" and Mr.
Noble had paid 85000 where $30 would have
been considered a good price. It was not
long before he learned its condition, and
after spending a few hundred dollars
trying to got metal in paying quan
tities out of what seemed to he an al
most barren soil, he ' suspended oper
ations and allowed the men to remain idle.
One day a "leaser" . offered to take the
mine on royalty. -He was heartily ridiculed
by the otber miners, but he weut to work,
taking a lead which had not been worked
before. In Jess than . thirty days he was
making the mine pay a handsome profit
Secretary Noble told a friend a few days
ago that he had already received in royal
ties the amount which he had paid for the
mine originally and . that "Sucker Flat"
would soon be running on a basis of proiit
instead of loss.— N. Y. Tribune.
LONDON CABS.
now They Started and Rapidly In
creased.
The fast times in which we live hardly
remember that "cabs," especially hansom
cabs, are almost a modern invention, and
that but a little while ago the London
which is now served by about 12,000 hack
ney carriages was destitute of any of it.
It is true that the history of public car
riages goes back a very long way into the
remote distance. For instance, carriages
of a kind were to be hired in
Rome under the Emperors. The word
"carriage" is probably to be traced in the
Latin carruca. During the middle ages,
however, they ceased to be used, for in con
sequence of feudal customs and feudal au
thority they were prohibited as likely to
enervate men aud render them unfit for
military service. Such a fear suggests a
kind of parallel between the old and new
ways of training athletes.
The renascence of public carriages may
be dated from the reign of Louis XIV, and
was due at that time to a certain Xicolas
Sauvage, who, living at the sign of St.
Fiacre in the Rue St. Martin, gave the name
of his dwelling to the modem French nacre.
Oddly enough as it may seem, hackney
coaches were first established in London
in 10.3 by a retired sea captain named
Bailey, who was a man of ingenious
mind and enterprising. His vehicles used
to stand at the "May Pole," iv the
Strand, and numbered no more than four.
But they were found so convenient, and
were so patronized that they grew rapidly.
In ltw" there were fifty, in 10."2 200, In 1654
300. From time to time regulations were
made limiting their numbers; but as the
French Kings could not stay the growth of
Paris, aud as Mrs. Partington failed with
the Atlantis, the tide of hackney carriages
was not to be hindered, and, all laws not
withstanding, continued to flow.
Vet, in spite of the rapid increase in the
number of these coaches, there was for a
long time little improvement in their lonn.
It was not until 1820 that the French "cabri
olet do place," whence comes our abbrevi
ated and familiar "cab," was introduced
into England from the other side of the
channel. In shape it was a kind of hooded
gig, ami allowed no more than one passen
ger, as the driver sat inside. But a change
was coming, In 1834 the gondola of Lon
don, the hansom cab, was patented by llau
soiii, and by its superiority it came rapidly
to the front.
In 1888 there were 739 C hansoms and 4013
"growlers," or four-wheelers, technically
described by the police as clarences, and
year by year they continue to increase.—

PROFESSIONAL INTOLERANCE.
The Extreme Length to Which It Wil
Carried In l',:r.*r-r v 1 , a i, , . .
It has long been known that the medical
profession deprecates auy kind of news
paper advertising except the kind that is
giveu free, and that its members are prompt
to denounce as "quacks" any doctors who
seek to hold communication with their fel
low-men through the medium of the public
prints; but it bas remained for the State
Medical Society of Pennsylvania, at its
session just concluded, to ostracize a mem
ber because a daily paper saw tit to publish
his essay, accompanied by his portrait.
So far as can be learned from the pub
lished accounts, the publication was a
stroke of enterprise on the part of the
newspaper, and there is no evidence be
yond an inference that the doctor procured
or even consented to the publication. Many
a man's speech has been published agaiust
his will, and it may have been so in this
case ; but, however this may be, certain of
his fellow-members saw tit to make a great
commotion about his "abuse of privilege."
as they called it. The unfortunate author
was denounced iv public and abused in
private, and at last tbe Convention, iv his
absence, decided by a vote of two to oue to
omit bis essay from the regular report of
their proceedings, simply because it was
published iv a newspaper.
We do not commiserate the gentleman
who has suffered all this contumely. We
do not think he needs commiseration. His
enemies have beeu obliging enough to give
him a first-class boom, and if he has any
ambition they have done their best to
gratify it. The omission of his essay from
the proceedings of the society, where it
would have been buried, will insure its
being read by a hundred persons for every
one that would have read it if nothing had
been said about it. The whole hubbub
works to the advantage of the gentleman
agaiust whom it was directed.
But we are sorry for this evidence that
the bigotry and intolerance of the Middle
Ages are still extant among the doctors of
this enlightened commonwealth. Some
body ought to go and tell the State Medical
Society that this is the closing decade of the
nineteenth century, not the fifteenth. —

BEER IN A SUGAR REFINERY.
How -Mr. Havemeyer Corrected a Great
' Abo., In ills Factory.
For a long timo the owners of the big
sugar refineries that line the river front in
Williamsburg were at a loss to discover
some, plan to prevent their workiugmen
from drinking so much beer as to incapaci
tate them from work. At noon, when the
hands were giveu an hour for dinner, many
returned the worse for their libations, and
not infrequently some of them failed
to show up, for tbe afternoon's work.
The superintendents scolded the offenders,
fined them, and sometimes tried the moral
effect of an occasional discharge, but all to
no purpose. The matter was at last brought
to the attention of Henry O. Havemeyor, of
liavemeyer & Elder, and he suggested a
remedy that, without depriving the men of
their beer, insures their attendance in
working bonrs. He arranged with a neigh
boring brewery to bring a supply of the
foaming beverage into bis refinery and to
serve it out the men several times . in the
day. On nay-day each of the men receives
twenty-fodr beer checks for the week, each
good for a pound of beor at 4 cents a pound.
These are charged against the men's wages.
The pound is equal to one of those big
foaming schooners one sees in tire Bowery
beer saloons, and when a superheated sugar
worker wants one of these he deposits his
check in a tin pail and a boy brings him the
beer fresh from the keg.
When the men come to work in the morn
ing they are not allowed to leave the prem
ises until work is over at night. They bring
their dinners and can wash it down with a
4-ceut schooner. When the hour is up they
are on hand freshened for the afternoon's
work. The men nt first objected, but now
they are perfectly satisfied. They have as
much beer as is good for them, make a full
day's work, and are saving money. — St

WfIEKE COMMUNISM TAILED.
What Happened to i» Workshop of Louis
Blanc.
After the revolution ol 1842 Louis Blanc
started a workshop where principles of
equality were practiced. . The wages were
the same fur all, but the names of all idlers
were written upon the walls. All work
was very well paid for, as he had an order
from the State to supply uniforms for the
National Guard.
At the outset all went.* very well. The
workmen were sincere and ardent Social
ists, who made it a point of honor that tha
experiment of the new System should be a
success; but very soon this good under
standing came to an end. Those who were
moro industrious or quicker than their
companions accused the latter of idleness;
they felt themselves victims of injustice,
for the enumeration was not in proportion
to the zeal and activity displayed. They
were being "cheated and duped, ' and this
was intolerable; heuce quarrel?, arguments
and fights. The temple of brotherhood was
trniii-lriimt'd into a sort of boxing booth —
"boite aux gillies," which is, as is known,
the name given to the building where the
citizens of Geneva meet together for the ex
ercise of their sovereign rights.
Another example. Marshal Bugeand
founded at Beui-Mered, in Algeria, a mili
tary colony on a communistic footing. The
settlers were all picked men, and he sup
plied them with all they needed for the cul
tivation of the soil. Laid, cattle agricul
tural implements, the produce of the har
vests, everything in fact was to be owned
and all work carried on in common for the
space of three years. The plan was excel
lent, It nevertheless turned out a failure.
Although the colonists were soldiers, ac
customed to discipline, passive obedience
aud equal pay, and without private home
or family, still they could not go
through the communistic novitiate to
the cud. As they were engaged in pursuits
other than their military exercises the
spirit of innovation and the taste for
amelioration soon made themselves mani
fest. Each one wished to cuiiivate accord
ing to his own notion, and they reproached
each other with not Hiring the work well.
Tne ilurslial vainly explained that it was
to their own advantage to work in common,
in order to overcome the first difficulties of
starting the settlement and to realize the
economies insured by a wise division of
labor. It was of no avail; the association
had to be dissolved, although it had so far
brought in profits.— Contemporary Review.
