The sheriff . JjpgM -ithat a sufficiently strong pubitc ' sentiment can bo aroused In support of tbo measure before the present sheriff went Into f'fflcortho clvil-sult prisoners wcro rented 'as It thco1 were convicted criminals. Now, they aro well fed; their colls, or, rather rooms, aro com fortablo and neat, and they aro free to como and go as they pleaso within the boundaries of tho prison. The easo with which a person can be put In jail hero for debt makes no man secure against tho debtors' prison, and once within Its walls there Is no chanco of escape unless ono submits to tho domands of tho sharp-practice man and tho blackmailer. It is oc casionally a matter of llfo Imprison ment for no crime. Unless step3 are 'taken soon by somo of tho historic societies, tho old headquarter which Washington oc supicd at tho battle of White Plains will bo demolished. A Now York realty company has purchased the tract pf land on which tho building stands and is engaged in cutting It tip Into building lots. Thoro Is eomo talk of getting tho board of super visors to by tho old landmark and preservo them In tho form of muse ums, bat s yet nothing has been done. Tho buildings are vory dilapi dated. Windows aro broken out, doors aro torn off (tad tramps sloop thoro at night. Many of the rollcs of tho famous revolutionary struggle Which took placo in tho neighborhood bavo been dug up recently, among thorn cannon; balls and British and Ite&sian coins. Tho en t fro section is rich in historical Intorcst. Tjio house which was tho headquarter of Gen oral Washlngtou Is occupied most of tho tlmo by Italians, Tho "chief of the Now York flro de partment has a glittering white offi cial helmet for flres, bo that his subor dinates may Juiow instantly that or ders coming from J ho man with that helmet are authoritative. Chief Croker, however, prefers a disreputa ble brown folt hat, with a high, un creased crown and ita'tiMiybenl any old way. Tho dlstlnctlvoutllnes of this peculiar headgear, oven when seen through tho smoky glare of a night Are, point out tho chief even moro surely than n whlto helmet, for tho battalion chiefs wear helmets, too. It Is only at vory big fires where Crokctr Intends) Jto plunge into tho thick of tho fight and needs the pro tection of tho neck guard that ho dons tho official headpiece. Ills esti mate of tho condition of a fire and tho tlmo when It becomes "under control" may bo Inferred from whether ho puts on tho helmet and when ho takes It off again. Ho does this last at the earliest possdblo op-portunltly. CITIZENS TRACTION COMPANY Adds New Machinery to Street Car Barn -Yew Park Line Ono of tho maiuy odd characters who ride regularly on tao New York elovated trains Is a good-looking old man, whom tbo elevated guards have dubbed "Bluebeard" from tho fact that bis beard U dyed a bluelsh black, although bis hair remains whlto. Ho wears a frock coat i.nd gray trainers which bavo seen botttir days, but still lend an air of gentility to tho wearer His shoos aro always polished and hla hat neatly brushed. What attracts attention to tho old man la his habit of collecting aban doned, newspapers and hla manner of doing eo. Wbonevor ha finds a pa por he looko furtively around, and when bo thinks no ono Is watching him seises tho paper and thrusts It under his long coa. This mnncuver is repeated until bo Is portly with newspaper When ho can get no mora under bis coat ho leaves tho train, Tho railroad guard are not suro whether bo Is a halt-demonted creature with a bobby or a nows dealer seeking to acquire a stock at small expense. An addition to tho lion family In Central Parle is expected in a few days, and a largo warm box has been built in lioness Itoslo'a cago for a nest fot tho oxpoctud MJtlo one. Itosto is tho mother of all tho lions in tho park soo, but Is as lively and as youthful-looking as many of hor offspring. Sultan, tho nged sire, looks with stolid Indifferenco upon every addition to his family though be Is proud enough of his mate. Louise Homer Is a metropolitan prima donna who is never described as arriving from Europo or sailing for that continent. Mrs. Homer Is an American and stays In her own coun try, where she Is usually kept busy when Bho does not want to ro3t. She has a country homo at Ontcorn, and sang both this spring and last sum mer In tho various music festivals throughout tho country. Mrs. Homer Is doing much to provo that It Is not necessary, after all, for an American prima donna to go to Europo every summer, merely as a commercial proposition, as If that really wore hor homo. ' Just as tho curb-brokors In Broad 3treot woro about to finish their trad ing tho othor afternoon, a hearse drovo up to a near-by bull ling. Un dertaker's men Jumped out and bur rJed Into tho building. Brokers and mossengor boys stopped to wonler who could bo dead, and waited to seo tho body brought out. Tho guesses as to who had died ranged all tho way from tho Janitor up to wrao of tho famous financiers who have offices In tho building. Tho curi ous crowded Into tho hallway. They were about to go upstatrB In their engorness to find out, when ono of the undertaker' men camo down car rying a pile of chairs. A copper com pany bad boon holding Its annual meeting In tho building Tho under taker bad furnished tho chairs and had. sent tho only vohlclo ho didn't havo In uso to remove them. It didn't take long for tho crowd to melt away. Bob Fltzslmmons Is out with tho announcement that ho la through fighting and acting.

Fltz eays that tho placo Is to bo so arranged that a man will not only seek to re cuporato thoro, but, will bring his wlfo and family along With this ond In view ho has engaged Mrs. Wilson Cunningham, who won tho all-around championship for women In England last year She Is to look after tho women and children, while Fitz will Instruct the malo guosts.

A t YOUR iUllNE8 SOLICIT When Democrats assert that their party $ tho "father" of rural freo de livery, they willfully misstate tho facts, ft Is charity to call their asser tlon a plain falsehood, for it Is a de liberate lie, uttered with the intention to deceive many persons. Rural free delivery had Its origin undor the Har rison administration, and Tostmastor General Wannamakor was its "father." He proposed apd ostab-, llnhed the first experimental route. When tho Democrats camo Into pow er, undor President Cleveland, they did everything posslblo to kill rural freo delivery; In fact, they absolutely refused to oxpend any of tho $10,000 congressional appropriation for Its nourishment, and both Postmaster Generals Blssell and Wilson, In their annual reports, did their utmost to discredit It. President Cleveland also threw cold water on It In a hostllo message to congress. When McKln loy becamo President, rural freo de livery was pushed to tho front as a Republican policy. This policy baa been continued undor President Roosevelt, jmtU now there aro about 27,500 routes In oporation. No fanner need bo deceived Uy Democracy's false claim, for tho record shows that to Republicans alono belongs tho credit of Inaugurating and fostering a mail service that is of Incalculable benefit to rural communities. & Ut3 . -J f, iwJM FOR WO rM IN WHOiCANNOlBE eREDiOF Ft-MintE rWEAKNES , For Western Development.
