The bullying Parisian concierge Is here
In Xew York , or a creature so like the piti
less doorkeeper of the French apartmeat
house that already the unlucky flat dvrdller
Is ground underneath his tyrannous heel
It Is not the resident in .buildings . where
flats rent for a mo-Jcrato sum and the loca
tion Is unfashionable who knows and suffem
under this new despot , but the Inhabitant
of the palatial apartment building and apart
ment hotel. Now the price of flnc apart
ments Is higher in Xew York than any
other city in the world. On Fifth avenue
It is difficult for a family to rent a floor
under less thaa $1,000 a month. This slg-
nlfles an area about ns large as a farm
house nttlc , divided up into breathless lit
tle rooms , -with daylight In tlu > front and
rear room only.
It Is sad to "relate " that the Now York land
lord has token a leaf out of bis foreign
brother's book of rules. When you rent a
flat on Fifth avenue you must expect to keep
your head In a hornef -nest or your-hand
ever in your pocket. It may be very grati
fying to your pride to live In a place where
a splendidly appareled six-footer stands on
the sidewalk to open your carriage door , an
other pushes the gilt nnd crystal revolving
stile -to admit you to the public ball , and a
third sweeps you into the elevator Just as if
you were staying at \Valdorf-AstorIa. .
Your friends compliment yn on placing
yourself so comfortably , but you wear a hol
low smile , because nearly everything except
itho naked rooms you live in ore extras and
everyone of those minions , with the bearing
and manners of ex-noblemen , are vampires
with their teeth in your purse.
In a Parisian apartment house you have
to do with one concierge ana his ruthless
wife. In the New York apartment house you
must fight a half dozen who can literally
force you to break your lease and move If
you refuse to yield to their demands. Their
demand Is monqy , at regular and 'frequent
Intervals , from every member of your fam
ily. If you deny their claims you will find
your ring at 1ho elevator bell Is not heard ,
your letters are delayed In coming up , you
open your doors yourself , visitors are
gratuitously misinformed as to your where
abouts at the entrance of the building , your
wood and coal arrive tardily when most
needed , your requests for repairs have to be
repeated again and again , you are covertly
scorned and your private servants are openly
annoyed nnd Insulted.

mill the Time from
Stnrt to Klniflli.
The extortions of cabmen will soon bo
a thing of the past. A marvelous little
machine for telling the truth about cab
farrs has Just been Invented In Xewr York
by several clever engineers of the New
York Electrical Vehicle company. It is
called the taximeter , and it Is about the
slio and shape of on ordinary workman's
lunch box. It Is to be placed at tbe upper
front rim of the hooi ot the cab , eo that
the passenger lias only to gfance up to see
Its honest face. Tbcso arc. some of the
wonderful thing * It does :
It gives In plain figures the exact num
ber of miles which the passenger has trav
eled at Any given time.
It gives tbe exact tlmo to- the mlnuto
during which the passenger has been an oc
cupant of the cab.
It gives the exact amount of money nhlch
tbo passenger owes at any given moment ,
on tbo basis both ot tlmo traveled and mtlea
traveled.
When the passenger steps out of the cab
the .taxamctor instintly thrusts out a lit
tle tongue bearing the vord "Disengaged , "
so that any passenger can sec that the cab
is ready for service , thus pro-venting
"soldiering" on the part of the cabby.
It keeps a complete account of the total
number of miles traveled during the day ; of
the amount of money paid In and of the
length ot tlmo during which the cab Is
actually In motion. These three latter cal
culations are wholly for the benefit of the
cab company in checking Its drivers.
Tbe company la not ready to give out
the details of the taxamcter , as It has not
been registered at the patent office In
Washington , but O. Herbert Conflict , the
chief engineer , who Is , In great part , re-
cponslblo for the success of the horseless
company to secure the patent rlghl , looked
the taxamcter over gingerly , SAW -what It
could dc , and then backed x.nay hastily.
"I could not tackle that becst excepting
for A very much larger fco than Is custom-
nry to ask , " he paid. "It will take a week's
solid work to study the construction. It is
more complicated than a harvesting ma
chine. "
As a last anil final preventive against
the wiles ot a cab driver Mr. Condlct has
contrived a Ilttlo mechanism whereby tbe
Inspector along the street may assure him
self that everything Is going right. An ob
long metal sign painted red and bearing tbo
legend "Disengaged" has been attached to
the door In such n way that when the regis
ter Is working this sign disappears behind
the Ilttlo door ot the taxametcr. When It la
not working this sign is thrown out so con
spicuously that though but six Inches in
length It can bo seen for two blocks. The
machine' will not register so longns this
sign hangs out. So that It a driver attempts
to cheat by not pressing a button , and trustIng -
Ing to Ik-out of the total mileage record , ho
takes the chance of being- brought up with a
short turn by an Inspector , whose eagle eye
takes in R cab hauling a ! ara with the "Dis
engaged" sign in evidence- .
The company believes It has succeeded In
forever abolishing all that disgustingly un
pleasant dickering and badgering with cab
drivers , whose * rapacious Insolence prevent
I many persons from traveling In a city cab ,
I and the moment thnt they secure their patent -
| ent rights will open an establishment for
the manufacture ot taxameters.

A few years later than this 1 was present
at a reservation in the Indian Territory , says
George Bird QrlnncllIn the February At
lantic , when a commission was negotiating
with tbo Indians to Induce them to take
their lands In severally and to sell tbo sur
plus. The commissioners made no secret ot
the fact that the administration bnd urged
them -to carry through tlic sale , because at
the next election they wished to go before
( ho people with , tbo statement that they
had thrown open to settlement by the public
a. certain number of acres ot Indian reserva
tions. This statement would Influence many
votes In the west ; It would bo a goad politi
cal err. The Decollations began and br
liursuaslon , promises and at last by threats
about one-third of the Indians -were la-
ducoil to Bleu the agreement. After that
signatures came In very alonly. The com
missioners hired their Interpreters to assist
them to obtain signers. The attorneys.
who claimed that they bad been retained by
the Indians to defend their rights , worked
hard to induce the people to slcn. These at
torneys were working on a. contlnccnt fee

THE NEW TAXAMETER FOR REGISTERING CAB FARES. AS IT LOOKS OUTSIDE THE CAB AND FROM WITHIN.
carriage transit in New York , has given
for tbe first time some account of 1he In
vention.
The taxameter occupies a space eight
Inches square and can b attached to any
sort of a vehicle , horselees or otherwise. It
Is operated on much -the same plan as the
cyclometer of a bicycle and need only be
geared differently flt on thevarloua ve
hides.
Ilonr the TnxnmctcrVorltn. .
When a person engages a cab with the
taxameter attachment he first tells the
driver whether he wishes to ride by the
hour or mile. If the former then the driver
pushes a button which effaces the last rec
ord and leaves the three white openings on
the face blank. Cab companies do not , as a
rule , make any reduction for a fraction of
aa hour , but the Inventors have provided
for this , In case they do. When half an
hour has expired thcro Is a click and the
passenger notices - thatthe opening to re
cord time riding shows fl. There Is no
change until after ono hour and fifteen min
utes , theu the register shows $1.25. At the
hour and a half $1.50 appears , and so on.
At the same time that Ibis open record
appears , showing the passenger exactly what
he must pay , two other invisible rpcords
are being made for the company's private
*
knowledge. As each record Is ticked off on
'the open space It Is duplicated on another
register , -where each separate fare as it Is
erased on the visible register by pressing
the button is permanently recorded , An
other register shous JiMt how many miles
arc traveled on the time basis , and the in-
cpector must only compare the cash and the
mllca to cheek the driver.
Now if one travels by tlic- mile the
recording angel is still more explicit with
ho thankful passenger. For this there are
wo little square spaces , one to record the
exact distance you 1 ravel and the other
your total bill. This was an exceedingly
difficult mechanism to contrive , and tbe en
gineers exerted themselves to the point of
collapse to perfect It.
In many cities the blocks are not of unl-
rom length , and It Is almost impossible
or & pauenger to figure up tbe distance bo
ravels. In most Instances tbe driver him
self does not know , but always makes cer-
atn never to underrate It. There la no dis
puting tbo question with tbo taxameter.
Any police court Judge would take Its silent
estlmony In preference to the blatant oaths
of a cabman , for with tbe taxameter blocks
cut no figure , It is only when G,2SO fee :
are ticked off that a passenger Is charged
with one mile. This , however , appears on
he register before the tulle is completed ,
be machine always showing a record just
a little In advance of making It. After tbe
Irst mile the taxameter , just as on tbe tlmo
lanlj , registers tlie fractions of a mile and
be corresponding fare. At tbe same mo
ment that ono mile and a quarter appears
on one space $1 , 5 appears on tbe other.
I'oiir Coiieeiilc'it llfforil * .
Concealed In the anatomy of tbe taxa
meter are two other registers which record
be total dlRtonce and total cash for all
ravel by the mile , and In addition to these
there is still another device which records
all the mlUage , Irrespective of tbe time and
( ( stance registers , and gives a grand total
down to a small fraction of a mile , showing
exactly wtat space the vehicle has covered
rom departure to return.

THU "laiMOIlTAIi J. X. "
Eccentric mill I'ntliede Charac
ter of Hie Century.
The report that the "Immortal J. N. "
is dying at Urbana. 111. , recalls the history
of one of the most eccentric and pathetic
characters ot the century , eays tbo Atlanta
Constitution. It 1s the story of a brilliant
attorney afflicted with insanity and the man
ner in which he wag attacked by mental
disease constitutes a fine narrative for loose-
consclenced lawyers.
Jacob Newman Free Is the real name of
this remarkable man. At the age of 27 he
was ono of the most eloquent and promising
lawyers practicing In Cincinnati. lie was
called upon to defend a man accused of
murder and although the evidence was con
vincing as to the man's guilt , Free was
impressed with a senao of his Innocence and
entered Into the case with all bU vigor
and determination to win freedom for one
he imagined to bo unjustly accused. For a
whole Tnontn his mind was on a continual
and intense strain and his closing appeal in
tbe case was no eloquent as to move judge ,
jury and spectators. It brought In a verdict
of "not guilty" for the prisoner and the
triumphant attorney retired to his residence
for a few day's real. Ho was followed by
the former defendant , who confessed that he
really was guilty of tbo crime of which he
had just been acquitted.
Free hurried back to th court room , where
tbo judge was engaged In the trial of another
caHe ejaculated ; "Your honor " and
fell to the floor from an attack of apoplexy.
The rude breaking of hla faith in the Inno
cence of a mnn whom ho had taxed every
capacity to defend , combined with the un
wonted drain on his vitality , permanently
clouded bis intellect , although he recovered
his usual health In the course of a few day * .
From this time on he made himself known
as the "Immortal J. N. . " lecturer on "Pres
sure , " and superintendent of that mysteri
ous force which he declared threatened the
existence and happiness of millions , and
whose malign influence * ! were only re
strained by his martyrdom of toll and self-
sacrificeIn this airy capacity he hecame
known to all tbe railroads , hotels and news
papers of Importance In the country , H *
had life passes on most of the transporta
tion llnw. made It a habit nnyer to pay a
board bill and devastated newspaper offices
unless his lectured were given free notices.
Yet with all these Idiosyncrasies ho was a
welcome visitor wtterever be went , and on
ccount of tbu vivid imagination exhibited
tn bis lecture , anouiands flocked to hear ,
him , An Incident la given to prove that
tils afillctlon had not dimmed bis wit.
Long ago , wheu bli fame WAS not firmly
established , he vlslttd St. Louis and nat
urally made his tray to the Southern. Wb n
were in favor of tbe sale. So by cajoling ,
promising , bribing , browbeating , hullylng
and using illegal votes , tbe sale , which was
bitterly opposed by one-half the tribe , waB
at last carried throueb by a hare majority.
SPECKLED CIGAU
llotv the Spoil Arc Produced on
Sumatra. Lent.
Some of the tobacco Imported from Suma
tra for making the wrappers of clgaro has a
curiously speckled appearance. In the mlnria
of certain buyers , says the Now York
Tribune , this marking Is evidence that tbn
cigar has a Sumatra wrapper. Such Is not
always tbo case , for the artful manufacturer
has learned how to spot American tobacco
artificially and he occasionally does so in o
clever a manner that the uninitiated cus
tomer never suspects the trlcl : .
Sumatra Is a Dutch possession and tbo
spotting of the tobacco raised In that Island
has been made the subject of investigation
by Prof. Beyerlnck of the Amsterdam Acad
emy of Science. This learned man presented
to the academy a few weeks ago a papsr In
which he eel forth the results of bis in
quiry. Ho described a "living , fluid conta
gion , " which bo declares Is tbo cause of
the dlscasr. This disorder , also known as
the moslaa disease of tobacco leaves , may bo
inoculated into healthy plants by Injecting
Into the stem , near a bud , sap pressed from
Infected plants. The active virus passes
completely through tbe pores of very dense
porcelain and can even penetrate into agar
by diffusion : therefore It cannot be a "con-
taglum flxum" In the usual senae , but It
must be fluid. Out of the tobacco plant It
cannot be made to multiply ; but In tbe di
viding tissues of tbe leaf-rudiments and tbo
merlatema of the buds It multiplies freely
and over a great extent. A very small drop
of tbe porcelain filtrate can render all the
loaves of the tnfccted plant entirely covered
with spots and the sap of these loaves would
bo sufficient for the contagion of an unlim
ited number of healthy plants.
