The Street Committee reported adversely

On that side of the city paid as much taxes
as those on the west side. No improve
ments have been made for sometime on the
East side, while they are all being done on
the West. Why is 1t that those on the East

mere referred to the filthy condition of Pine

the following statement showing that very
nearly $1,000 more work done on the West

DUCHAILLU, THE GREAT TRAVELLER

We arc glad to learn that this celebrate
African traveller and hunter will lectur,
under the auspices of the Rugby ant
Bryant Literary Societies of Rugby Aca
deny, In the opera House, on Saturday
Dec. 18th. His subject tor the evening
lecture will be Explorations in Equatoria
Africa" AS Mr.. DuChaillu was the first
to explore this region, and spent several
years among the wild and barbarous people.
he is able to give much valuable informa-
tion about that fnonstrous and ferocous
ape, the gorilla, and the other wild animals
found in equatorial Africa. Mr.. DuChaillu
travelled on foot unaccompanied by other
white men about 5000 miles. He shot,
stuffed and brought home to America over
1900 birds, of which more than sixty are
new species. He killed upward of 1 900
quadrupeds, Of which 200 were stuffed
and brought home. Not less than twenty
of these quadrupeds are species hitherto
unknown to science. In his lecture he will,
give Wonoer1ul accounts OF his fighta with
the ferocious gorilla, and also his visit to
the wild cannibals.
The subject Of the matinee lecture of the
young people will be Lost in the Tanele. u
These lectures we're delivered in Boston
and New York, and excited the utmost
enthusiasm among the people, old and
young. They were afterwards repeated in
Brooklyn and New York with marvellous
success. In steinwsy Hall, New York,
DuChaillu had an audience of over three
thouoand people. AS the rush for Du-
Chaillu's books of travel in the Institute
library has already begun, we predict ful,
house to welcome this popular lecturer Oh

AdrianOple.

Adrianople is situated at the conf1u-
ence of the Tundja, the Martha and the
Arda, and is about 135 miles distant from
Constantinople. Its population has
been variously estimated at from $4,000
to lac, 200 inhabitants According to
the most trustworthy accounts about
half of these are Turks, 10000 Bulgar-
ians and Greeks, and the remainder Jews
and Armenians,
Adrianople was taken by the Turks
from the Greek Emperor in 1862, and
was made the capital of the Turkish En-
pire, remaining SO until Constantinople
was seized in 453 1t is at present yir-
tually an open town. The old part is
surrounded by wall, and contains a
citadel. But these are now useless as
defenses. Recently more modern works
have been constructed by the Turks, but
these are only of field, or at the most
of provisional type.
In the opinion OF Won Moltke the
hollow roads, bitches and garden walls
without the town afford great facilities
for its defense, and the approaches may
be covered by troops drawn up so as to
rest upon the rivers, but only in corps of
not less than thirty thousand or forty
thousand men. The town is, however,
overlooked by heights on every side, and,
consequently, it would be hardly possible
to hold it against an army provided with
modern artillery. The first view of
Adrianople is described by Won Moltke
as being wonderfully beautiful, the white
minarets and the lead-roofed cupolas of
the mosques, baths and caravanserais
rising in countless numbers above the
endless mass of fiat roofs and the broad
tops of the plane trees.
The country around is also exceedingly
lovely. From the valleys of the river.
hills rise up gently, but to considerable
height, covered with vineyards and
orchards; and as far AS the eve can reach
it sees nothing but fertile fields, groves
of fruit trees and fourishing villages.
Within, however, the streets are narrow
and irregular, the shelving roofs of many
of the houses projecting so as to meet
those on the opposite side of the way

Summer Separation.

a--- e. FROM the DaDpury News. .-.se.-~ -
June is the month of love, Joy, and
August that of its agony. In June two
hearts knit together and become one In
August two bodies separate. She goes
away to see her mothers aunt in the
country, and he stays at home, working
the treadmill of duty This comes hard
on all men, but its weight is the heaviest
ON the grocery clerk. His heart is not
in his work How can it be? Where
the treasure is there will the heart be
also, and the treasure is far away. He
cannot smile on the customer He can
not counterfeit successfully that express
sion of all absorbing interest which
makes a clerkship thing of beauty.
Certainly his is most critical task. The
variety and diversity of the articles in
which he deals require that he should
keep his wits about him. In this par
ticular he is in almost as much danger as
the drug clerk, while the opportunities
for slipping are hundred fold. A Dan
bury man who went to drug store to
have prescription prepared, seeing no
body but clerk present, said
!" Young man, are you keeping COM
pany with girls" ala arf 1919 ersfr
eyes, sir" answered the clerk with a
blush -.-.-...
"Do you think the world of herr"
a do, said the clerk firmly, although
blushing considerably.
as she in town." pursued the Gus
toner anxiously. 'ea
" No, sir, she is away on a visit" a
q That will do said the man, decis-
lively. You can't fool around any pre-
scription for me-" And he went away.
But it is the grocery clerk who has to
struggle from early morn till late at
night with flood ofannoyances. When
he dips into the sugar barrel he thinks of
her lips and signs. In cutting the cheese
he is reminded of the strength of his de-
votion to her, and when he looks into the
butter firkin his thoughts stray to her
hair When he would go away by him
self and give expression to his emotions
he. is obliged to help. lift barrel of
corned beef, or roll cask of salt, or open
cask of lard. 1t is only when he is deal
ing out mackerel that he feels as if he
had companion in his sorrow, sympa-
thizer in grief. There. is that softened,
subdued light in the eye of a salt mack
erel which touches a responsive chord in
the heart of suffering and awakens it to
plaintive melody. How tenderly he lifts
it from the kit, how lovingly he fingers
in wrapping It up. Poor fellow! He
may put up washing starch for baking
powder, draw. molasses in the kerosene
can and even attempt to palm off various
things for tea He may do this. 1t is
more than likely that he will. But the
expression of mackereps eye will not
change. The soft, subdued light of sym
patty still remains.
