Madame Charlton-Edholm, forcibly reminds
us Of the loss our Social Science Association

the Social Science Association has passed
from our gaze like pleasant Vision, while
it can be no reflection upon the other mem
bcrs Of the W. c. T. L. to say that she was
the soul Of that aggressive organization.
More frequently than any other member
by the force Of her energy and ability in
debate she acted like magnet upon her as

HERE Is war Ill lhe atmosphere Cl NUM-
cipal affairs. The city council and one of
its committees tile board of health have
locked horns on the question of authority.
Some members of the parent body object to
the manner in which the board of health is
rushing the ci,, headlong into debt. with
out any authority whatever in all cases, and
unnecessarily and without due regard to
the interests of the city in many others. A
reference to the act Of incorporation and 10
the ordinances OF the city settles the Qucs-
ton of authority. Clauses -, - and -, Of
section /, article ) of the act of ncorpora-
ton give to the city council the power to APP
point board of health. and to prescribe its
duties and powers; 10 erect and establish
hospitals; and to do all acts and make all
regulations which may be necessary or en-
pcdicnt for the promotion of health or the
suppression of disease. Section ofchaptcr

council was getting back to where il left off
Saturday night. He opposed the di,.s.
ion of the question. lie believed
the Objectionable portion had been stricken
out and he thought it ought to be adopted.
Aid. Wood took the floor and began 10
argue that the committee had no right to al
ter the report after having once presented it
to the council
Aid. Halliday said he wanted to vote for
the report, but there were some things in
it he was opposed to. He was
opposed to that portion of the report
stopping street filling, and the arrangement
with DR.. Waldo, whereby the city agrees to
take charge of marine patients who may
have the yellow fever.
Alderman Thistlewood said the board Of
health did some things he was opposed to
and which he had voted against but some
thing had to be done, and he made no
serious objection. lie was opposed to the
arrangement with DR., Waldo, but some ar.
rangcmcnt had to he made, and he now
wanted to see the report adopted. To reject
the report would seem
LIKE SUR
on the board Of health.
Alderman Halliday thought the gentle
men Alderman Thistlewood went long
way when he said that members opposed TO
the report wanted TO slur the committee
He said that he was informed by response
bic party that
DIR. WALDO HAD \ LETTER
from the surgcon-gcncra in which he was
instructed that if he had a case Of yellow
fever, and the city authorities object TO It's
treatment within the city, then he must re.
move it to Il point without the city limits.
! ALDERMAN WRIGHT HAD READ THE LETTER
and did not believe Dr.. Waldo would be
willing to remove patient, further than the
graveyard ridg', OF 10 some other convenient
| place
Aid. Wood said he wanted TO vote
for the greater portion Of the report, If
given q chance he would vote for the greater
portion Of the report, but if a division was
not allowed so that he could vote for or
against such propositions as be saw proper,
he would vote against all.
AID, Rittcnhousc wanted a division Of the
question. 1t was the quickest way 10 get
through with the matter.
AID. FOLEY
said if the chair did decide N favor Of a
division OF the question, the board Of
health was strong enough TO carry it
through, anyhow
Aid Wright thought that was not prop
er spirit in a councilman
Aid Wood said Foley only showed the
animus Of some members Of the council.
COULDN'T DIVIDE.
The chair then decided the question could
not be divided.

the chair and vote was taken as follows:

Sheep in Texas.

The wool growers OF western Texas are
improving their modes, and through the
San Antonio Express, publish an article
upon the sheep interest of thai portion of
the State, from which we CLEAN the follow
ing advice as 10 breeds:
Our flock men are becoming better vers-
ed in the true methods of handling their
focks on the range, and thefleeces at shear
ing time, but TOO little attention has been
given to the character Of the breed. though
during the past eighteen months much
greater interest has been manifested, and
every year must necessarily show the grow
er that il IS largely to his pecuniaTy interest
to improve the breed by selecting that kind
81 stock which shall be most economic to
herd, hardy and prolific, and with wool
long-stapled and prime medium TO fine in
quality. We think our flock masters will
see that If is to their interest to give atten-
lion to the success of the sheep men in the
territories north Of us, who are rapidly
changing their foclSs from the finest wool
10 the long woods, as they find the long
woods harder, stronger, better feeders, and
being greater in size can travel with less
fatigue, they are more prolific and better
mothers. not so easily frightened by man
or beast, their lambs are stronger and larg-
er, being almost invariably up and sucking
in few minutes after birth, while the Me
rino lambs frequently lie hours before har-
ing strength to stand, and in unpropitous
weather are benumbed without strength 10
rise. Their mutton is better favored, and
the carcass much larger than that of three
or four year old, exceeding the Merino by
50 to IS pounds per head, and the increase
for long wool ewes bred 10 long wool rams
is So IS per cent The cost of herding
the long woods IS much less than for the
Merino, as usually 1000 to 5000 long
wool sheep are easily herded by only one
man.
