The Case of the Decent Man Considered. TAPER NO. 2. The decent man bears ths greater part of the burden of life, liy burden I do noj mean the support of himself nnd those of kindred blood dependent upon him. Must fit theso obligations he has taken upon hlmMf chwfully, with full knowledge of what thy connist find tnea about hi daily activities resolved to meet them in every reaped.

In most rose he succeed, thu rendering substantial service to the community, bringing happiness to many around him he, hap' piest of all. The burdens upon him are Imposed by the shiftless and Improvident, the wasteful and criminal, in a lare measure, for these have to be cared for somehow. And who shall do this but he who has extracted from him some of his hard-earned wages. AVe have Jails, hospitals. almshouses, dispensaries, charitable Institutions of all sorts and kinds.

The more decent the man, the more frequently will he be importuned. The more sympathetic he is, therefore, the easier prey to those who eternally want somethin for nothin. The writer has no remedy fnr this; therefore the decent man must protect himself as best he may. They are burdens, all th same. The special burdens that are Intended to be treated here relate chiefly to those Imposed by government, or municipal method of government, find apply to tho home owner, ns so many penalties, and as deterrents to the great multitude who hope to have a home, but who have not yet succeeded.

One of the first needs of an established community, after provld-Ing flieltpr and food. I mean of public communication, namely, streets and side-walks. This need grow with the village, town or city, in proportion to pop-uiation. One of the strunac facts connected with this subject Is, that good streets and sidewalks are about the last thing obtained, and only obtained aftef much effort and expense, This is true everywhere, but more true in cities, such as Brooklyn before consolidation, and all New York since. The congestion of population around centres creates need of Improved streets and avenues, more especially good sidewalks, these latter of more vital Importance than roadbeds, as everybody walks from the home to business, schools, churches, the butcher, the grocer, and back, men, women and children, while comparatively few ride, and if the roads be bad the patient horse will pull th through.

It is rn amazing thing that such crude laws are enacted providing for improvement of streets in a city, more particularly in this city. Reader, have you ever tried to get needed improvements in the community you live in? If you hae, you know the task, the obstructions, the how not to do It, and if you succeeded at last and a. home on the street, -then you also know the burden. You do not object to paying your just share; you do object lo paying more than fair cost, You ob- ject to paying long in advance of the work being: done. You object to paying for a miserable job wiun it is done.

Hut In ing a decent man, otherwise a home owner, you may protest in vain. You know that by painful experience, and you know you Just pay the assessment, pinch your dear ones a little harder, deprive yourself of some needed comfort, tel! your wife that Louise cannot take music lessons this year; that James must wear the overcoat another winter, because the money intended for these had" to be paid at once, or suffer a penally of 9 per after thirty days. Is the stiect paved, the sidewalk laid, the sower in, the basins built? Oh, no; but they ore going to be, 8u me time pay, anyway. Failing to pay, your property will be sold under the red flag. Mighty little have you had to say about it.

Iay is your privilege. You have had the decency to buy a home. You work dully. You save your money, you pay your debts. Of couise ou pay.

Why. you art the only kind of man who docs -pay for these things. Everybody else uses them, certainly. But you pay. You have an asset a home -ou con be found yout home is on the map.

Your remedy lies in not owning a home; your protection jh, dont ever own one. Sptnd your money otherwise; squander it. if you pleas s. Some tine will contribute toward your needs. Don't be guilty or being decent costs too much.

The city or municipal laws and ordinances are. many of them, warnings beforehand what you may expect if you do go so far astray as to really buy or build a home. Maybe you try and reduce the expense of living by renting out a room or floor to some widow with a child or two. Then you are worse than a home owner; you are a landlord. Just think of it! Though everybody knows there is no such thing as landlord in this country; that it is an imported name, from a foreign shore, mostly from Ireland; a common phrase there, and held in contempt at that.

Imported here, and used In general, with the same tone of disapprobation and leproach. Yet the house owner, who rents, no matter how small a portion of his house, no matter at how little rental, he is a landlord, therefore rich, therefore pay and you do pay, for you are a decent man. I pause here, reflecting, fearing that the possible reader will conclude from ail this that here is a crank. Oh, he is a Henry George man, or Well, whats the use of growling and -stirring things up? Oh. here is the decent man again, who does n-t find fault; just minds his business, work along, saves what he can, and, maybe, is thankful it is no worse.

Now, is that the best way? Find no fault, let things go? My Idea is to tell the decent mans story, and if needs be find fault, always, however. In the hope of complete or partial remedy, or, in other words, the decent man case is being considered. There is more yet to lay. unhappy marriage with Lord Leicester. The book haa an added value In that It contain the Lady Louisa correspondence with Sir Walter Scott, Lady Montagu and Lady Lockhart.

Chicago ami Svw York: Herbert lrne He Co.

A very useful book. There are comparatively few persons who at one time or another 1o not to have to fare the problem of household furniture and decoration, and who do not at such times experience sensation of comparative helplessness. Two classes of books have been written for the purpose of aiding and instructing such perplexed ones one worthless, devoid of Judgment and good taste; the other learned and technical, and generally on a too expensive scale. Mr. Coleman, in this volume, has taken another course; he describes, without technicality, certain undeniable principles, indicates their application, and Illustrates the result by giving pictures of the Interiors of a number of fine houses.

Some of these interiors are comparatively inexpensive some costly, but all ore the homes of private citizens without ory especial pretense of great wealth. Mr. Coleman admits his obligation to the crle of nicies published In Thn House Hcautlful," rntilM "Hucceraful Ilonran, from which must of the photograph have ben taken.

HISTORY AND MANUFACTURE OF FLOOR Compiled by the Review Fubllshliig Company, New York. This little book contains a great deal of information, both useful and which will be thoroughly appreciated by members of thecarpct trade, -especially salesmen In the retail branch of It.

The first part of the manual summarizes the history of floor coverings In various countries, from the earliest times to the present day. Chapter I. deals In a general way with the annals of the in the Orient and Europe. Chapter II. gives the history of the Industry In Great Britain, beginning with its infancy there In the reign of Edward III.

Chapter III. is devoted to the rise and progress of the trade in the United States, now the greatest carpet manufacturing country in the world. The technical side of the trade is taken up in the next chapter, which is devoted to Oriental rugs and carpets. The meth-ods of dyeing, designing and weaving in the Orient are described, and the var- lous makes of Turkish, Persian and oUir Eastern are dealt uith in detail, the characteristics, relative importance, of each make being explained with the aid of numerous Illustrations. In the pages following all other kinds of floor coverings known in the trade receive due attention.

The treatment is concise, yet comprehensive. THE BOUND CENTURY. The fifty-seventh bound volume of The Century, comprising the numbers from November, to April, 1803, inclusive, has Just been issued. It is a magnificent tome of 960 pases, handsomely as well as substantially bound. Every volume of The Century Is worth a permanent place in every good library, but this one is especially valuable on account of the great amount of war matter It contains; nnrl yet It is the authoritativeness, rather than the amount, of the history that Impresses tho reader.

The names of K.unps'm, Shaftr, Klgsbee, Hobson, Greene, nre a guaranty of first-hand accounts of tho hlef events of the West Indian and Philippine campaigns.

Ho wa a man of Iron will and dauntless courage; he made many enemies and provoked hitter criticism; but, next to the President himself, and not excepting even the generals in the no one had a harder or more important part to play than Secretary Stanton, and no one acquitted himself better. An extract from Mr. Gorhams preface will give, better than anything else can.

a fair Idea of the scope and purpose of this elaborate biography. Mr. Gorham says: Although this book contain a sketch of Mr. Stantons early life, his professional career, and hi general characteristic. Its main purpose I to present the record of hi relation to the Civil War, and to mark the place In history to which hla -rvlc- to the country entitle him.

His public life embraced tho secession winter of 1860-6t, three years of the Civil War 1862-65 and three -year of the reconstruction struggle which followed It. He died In 1R69, while yet the passions of those times were at the highest, It Is thirty years since this great American ended his work; and the country, then torn by faction and divided into two warring sections, is now thoroughly reunited. Time and a revival of national pride and patriotic feeling have extinguished the violent animosities of that period, and the wounds thus healed are In no danger of being reopened by such recitals as are necessary to illustrate Stantons work and his motives. On the contrary, the author be-lilevcs that the time has come when the judgment of all Americans, North and South, who rejoice in the possession of a reunited country, may confidently be invoked upon the patriotic services of the great War Minister to whom so much is due for the grand result. Jt is a very valuable and important work, and it is handsomely gotten up.

The frontispiece portrait of Santon Is beautifully executed, and the other Illustrations are also admirable. LADY LOUISA PTUART: Selections from Her Manuscripts. Edited by the Hon. James Home. London and New York: Harper Brothers.

Lovers of good literature, biography, bistory and society gossip will be alike delighted by these charming mem- oirs, which are as interesting as a novel, and that sparkle with humor on almost every pane. Lady Stuart was born in 1757 and died in 1S51, In her ninety-fourth year. She was the youngest daughter of John, third Earl of Bute. Prime Minister at the beginning of the reign of George III. In her early life, by a combination of circumstances, she was thrown much upon her own resources, and when quite young hc-gan the composition of both prose and verse.

Few. however, even of her own relatives, knew of her literary efforts, the secret being kept even from her sisters. It was the custom In the latter half of the eighteenth century for women of high position to follow the pursuit of letters as a pastime. It was also thought a loss of caste for a woman of high society to write for publication, and for this renson Lady Stuart would never Consent to the publication of any ot her nianuscriKts during her lifetime, ns she was very npch afraid that her peace of mind would be destroyed by the criticisms of the press. Her only.

appearance in print was in an introduction to the life of her grandmother. Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. "Her share in this book, says Mr. Home, "has already given such proof of her abilities that it seems to be only doing Justice to herself and to the public to take a fitting opportunity of confirming that reputation. "With this object the present volume is Issued.

One is certain to wonder after reading it whether many of the prominent women of the eighteenth century have set dftwn their memoirs in such fashion as Lady I-ouisa. If such Is the case, there must be a wealth of interesting manuscripts in the old halls of England. Lady Stuart writes In a thoroughly charming style, and her narratives, although perhaps a trifle spicy in places, cannot in any way be adjudged Indelicate either for the present time or for the time at which they were written. Under te title "Some Accounts of John, Duke of Argyll, and His Family, Lady Stuart gives a delightful picture of some of the prominentand unique figures of the time of the last three Georges. With what her contemporaries would have called "a pretty wit, she describes how John of Argyll found marital felicity with Jennie VVarburton, maid of honor, although the Duke was a man of shining abilities and great loftiness of mind, and Jenny was a good, simple soul, chiefly noted for her lack of beauty.

Th, promts, nutria by Alderman Mtih, chairman of the Finance Committee, that when the Boorri of Aldermen met he would call tip the four bond Iszuo rosnlu-tlone In hl committee, Including that for paying the award of the Long Islnrnl Water Supply Company, If there were the necessary number of vote to pas them, wa not fulfilled.

There were at no time forty-five member preeent. There we a farcleal request by Alderman John McCall for unanlmou cnniwnt to rail up cirnrral Orr Nn, S', which I the Long Island Water Buppl revolution. There were Inotant objection by Aldermen Hyrne, of Brooklyn, end Gaffney, of Manhattan, end that wav the end of It, Alderman McCall seemed to regard It bi a Joke. Alderman Woodward rope to a question of privilege, obtaining permission to cor-reot certain statements In the morning papers on June 14 purporting'to be made by him. I did not entertain the contempt for the courts which one paper gratuitously accorded me," he said; 1 am here to obey the law, not to violate or defeat It; but I do not believe any court can, within Its jurisdiction, order the Board of Aldermen, or me as a member of It, to vote on any resolution which may come up for consideration." Alderman Woodward also expressed himself on the subject of the Board's ministerial power, saying: "If It can be definitely determined that we have only ministerial power, that power which compels the legislature of the Greater New York to vote aye when some Individual Commissioner or depart- ment Instruct to, I will be one of the first to advocate that these alleged pn.v ers be taken from us, os I do not think It adds to our utility to be compelled to act on the automatic system that of some one pushing the button and we doing the rest." The Board adopted concurrent resolution from the Council, granting permission to the Nassau Brewing Company to lay a private rnilro.td track at their own expense across the sidewalk on the west vide of Franklin avenue, midway between Dean and Bergen streetts, and on the east side of Wost Fifth street, about 200 feet north of Shsepshead to connect their building with the Coney Island and Brooklyn Railroad tracks.

The Board adopted the following resolu-offered by Alderman Velton: Resolved. That the Controller be and be Is hereby respectfully requested to refund to the owners of unimproved or vacant lota, in the Borough of Brooklyn ahy and-all money or moneys collected by the Commissioner of the Department of Water Supply for rents for water which was either never consumed or furnished. The totals of those water rents amount to many thousand dollars. Alderman Mclnnes preamble and resolutions, requestion the Commissioner of Water Supply to ascertain the feasibility of bringing water into Brooklyn from the Bast River through one large main and by distributing mains, for fire purposes and sprinkling streets, and flushing sewers, thereby saving the supply for drink- Ing purposes, and report to the Municipal Assembly, was, after ome discussion, on Alderman Wafer's motion, referred to the joint committees of Water Supply and Sewers. Alderman Mclnnes sought the immediate adoption of the resolution, saying that there was urgent need of immediate action to economize the water supply, and the question might as well be faced at once.

Alderman Wafer said that so far as he could ascertain there was no "clamor" about water, but when the authorities wanted to boom water meters, there was always a water scare. A year ago we were called down by this great bugaboo, the Controller, who goes about with report-era hanging to hla coat tails, and who said we were holding up 23 000.000 of bonds. We gave him that, and now he wants to spend 15.000.000 on a park at Coney Island. It'a all bosh. What the people want la to have the etreets paved and new schooihouscs, and a boardwalk and a etrlp of beach la what they want for a park.

Alderman Goodman said that the last speakers remarks did not apply to the question under discussion. Considerable might be said about that when It comes up, and probably considerable would be said. The water question was an important one, and he favored the adoption of the resolution, which only requested information. Alderman Stewart favored referring the resolution to the Joint committee. Alderman McNeil offered a resolution petitioning the State Railroad Commission to cause the Long Island Railroad Company to elevate its tracks at the Vernon avenue crossing high enough to permit traffic underneath it.

Adopted. There was, referred to the Finance Committee two resolutions introduced by Alderman John T. McCall. One of these asked the Board of Estimate and Apportionment to concur in a further appropriation of 19,900 for expenses of the Building Code Commission, and the other resolution authorized the Commission, to pay each expert Commissioner 500 a month for services rendered and to be rendered from Jan. 17 to July 1.

1899, and authorizing the Controller to pay the same. A concurrent resolution came from the Council naming the date of Friday. July 14. at 2 P. and the Council chamber as the place, for a public hearing on the application the Ocean Electric Railway anipui.
