The unfinished business of establishin,

The unfinished business of establishin,
fire limits was called up, when Aids. Cup
petit and Brown went over the same fielt
as before, with the exception of the jus
ticc in granting the fire sufferers fire
limit as prayed for in the petition in the
one block. The Mayor would like to see
the ordinance stand as it is and give it 8
trial. He did not wish to see only one
block in the ordinance
A friendly argument was then INDUCED
in between AID Madole and DR.. South
ard as regards the sentiments of the citi-
zens opposed to the ordinance, the effect
it would have upon the growth Of the
city and capital, and whetherif the ordi-
nance included the five blocks the people
would become reconciled.
Aid. Brown, who was feeling unwell,
wanted the matter disposed of, and SO
suggested the propriety of referring the
matter to the committee on fire ordinance,
with power to act. So the motion was
put and carried that it be referred to the
committee on ordinance in relation to fire
limits.
AID Cuppett called up the Peters mat
ter and on motion it was agreed to act
upon it at the next meeting.
On motion council adjourned until next
Monday. The committee to whom was
referred the fire limit ordinance is com
posed of Messrs. Clifford, Brown and Cup
nett.

moItke,s unique Position.

From the London Spectator.J
There is another speciality of Mar
shal Won Moltke which Connt Won
Waldersee may not enjoy, and that
iii is capacity of self-effacement al
most without parallel. No man who
has performed achievements like
the marshaPs has ever consented to
occupy quite his position, to receive
such poor and slow rewards-his
very baton was delayed by an eti-
quette-to make himself so little
visible to the world. lie is a mar
shal, with very moderate fortune
and a great place in history, and that
is all. That Marshal Won Moltke,
though born a Dane, and once in
the Turkish service, is no mercenary,
the world has recognized fully, as
by instinct; but what is he, he him
self outside of his work? To all ap-
pearance, and we think the appear
ance is true, he is artist
in war, makes war as great
artists, or builders, or engineers
paint pictures, or raise churches, or
cut tunnels, finding in the perfec-
ton of his own art and the compile
tion of his own designs out of his
own brain, full solace and content.
So absorbed has he been in his ari
and its completeness that he has not,
to all appearance, cared for fame:
that he has never, so far as the world
knows, either dreaded or opposed
rival; and that in all the elabor ate
histories of his wars which have
been prepared by his staff, and
which, we arc told, are marvellous
for the uncolored light they throw
on his military operations, his own
name scarcely occurs. That is his
modesty, say his admirers, and it is
true; but there must be something
more. No man lives and does
great things without seeking some
satisfaction to his own inner self.
and with Marshal Won Moltke, who
is indifferent TO wealth, and re.
quired persuasion to accept rank,
who has led nation 90
the top of the world and
stood aside to let another rule it.
and rule it, he, with his cold, clear
brain, must often have thouht. very
badly-must have found salts

which he has played with living

ExcItement i'm Stock Market.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 10.-The excite
ment in change this morning was
the most intense and demOnstrativc
ever known here. Desperate efforts
were made to control the market,
longs insisting on higher prices and
shorts persistently attempting to
hammer them down. Finally the
excitement ran so high that the
panic became eminent. Then sew
eral of the principal shorts agreed
to do no more trading. This almost
instantly stopped the trading, and
the excitement subsidized, greatly to
the relief of everybody. At 1:3O
o'clock the closing call motion was
put, and carried, that all deals
should be regarded as in settlement.
Pricss then advanced from ten to
twelve and one-half cents. Trading
proceeded quietlyand with decorum.
No suspensions have been reported
this morning, and no new rumOrs of
trouble have so far been heard.

The Secret of Wing-Shooting.

Sacramento Bee.l
Shooting on the wing is mechan-
ical art, like billiard playing boxing
or fencing. There will, of course,
be degrees of excellence, but any
one with the fullu of his faculties
and the ambition necessary to sue
ceed in anything can acquire it. The
secret lies in the hand becoming
subservient to the eye. The two
must be connected as by electricity.
The eye is never at fault +; if it were,
there would be little hope of i'm
provement. but any one NAV i'm.
prove the quickness of the muscles
of the arm. Look at the expertness
of the professional card-players and
conjurers in the art ofmanipulation.
The same practice applied to the
gun will make the brilliant
shot. One often hears it said
ITO be good shot requires good
eye" 1t matters not how quick the
eye is unless the muscles are edu-
Gated to act in unison with it. Every
one can see quick enough. Let one
bird out of trap before 500 people
and they will all see il at the same
time, but only the practiced shot can
throw up the gun to his shoulder
with accurate aim and simultane-
ously pull trigger before the bird
has flown two feet. Take the adroit
fencer or boxer; he sees an opening
and his practlced muscles obey the
eve and send the thrust or blow
home quicker than the un
practiced eye can follow. OF what
use then is the sight OH gun? Very
little, as is seen by the successful
way gunners kill ducks when it is
too dark to see the sight or scarcely
to see the barrels. A sportsman
should shoot game the same as an
Indian shoots his arrow, by looking
at the object with both eyes open.
1t may be done by closing one eve.
but there is nothing gained by this.
There are two ways of shooting on
the wing. One to throw up the gun
to the shoulder and pull the trigger
at the same time. This is termed
"snap-shooting." The other equally
good, and better to begin with, and
more certain upon the whole, par
ticularly in open shooting, is to fol-
low the bird, and when covered, fire
while the gun is in motion. When
you pull the trigger the other hand
has tendency to stop. That misses
the bird, but education Will teach il
not to stop, the same as we teach |
both hands different action while |
playing on the piano.

Mr.. Gladstone seems to be seri-
cusly contemplating an effort to Sc
cure Pope Leo's services to aid him
i'll placating the Irish Catholics, by
acting as mediator between the dis
affected and the British government.
The talk of establishing diplomatic
relations between Great Britain and
the vatican is also increasing, and
MOnsignore Capel is about to issue a
pamphlet entitled "Ought the Sov-
ereign of England to Hold Diplo-
matte Relations with the Pope r'
The Roman Catholics contend that
the queen has 100000 Roman Cath
olics, organized in 126 archdiocese
and dioceses, ruled by seven
teen archbishops, one hundred
bishop, five thousand priests and
possessed of religious orders,
charitable institutions and schools,

church, the pope, should have legal

noting peace among the Catholic
subjects. Capcl contends that Eng
land, having lost control over Ire
land, save in a military and coercive
way, peace can only be brought
about by the establishment of
diplomatic relations between
the vatican and Queen Victoria.
MOnsignore Capel seems TO
have forgotten that III the year 170l
the British parliament passed the
act of settlement providing Tor the
succession 10 the throne Oh the fail
ure of the direct protestant Stuart
family, in the Princess Sophia, cleo
tress of Hanover, granddaughter
of james L., and her lineal descend
ants. Under this act George /. be-
came king of England, and a special
proviso of that act was that all in
heritors of the British crown
who "shall be reconciled to
or shall hold communion
with the See or church of Rome, or
shall profess the popish religion, or
shall marry paplst, should forfeit
the crown" 1t was long ago decided
that this provision of the act of set
tlement forever prevents Great
Britain from holding diplomatic re-
latiOns with the vatican. Under il
Queen Victoria can not send an en-
bassador, or other representative, to
the vatican.

THE cessation of operations on
the part of the Palmer-Sullivan or

tho condition of the company.
that it is growing weak,
and cannot raise money on its

is certainly untrue. The cause of
the withdrawal has been in conse-

The NATURALIZATION Affair,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-A. NJ, So
teldO, who was shot last night, is
still living, and has regained entire
consciousness, although paralyZed
from head down; death Is only a
question of time. In conversation
with his friends, he disclaims hav-
ing any intention to shoot Barton,
and says the latter fired the first
shot, but says lie forgives him. AS
for Barton, he has thus far declined
to make any legal ante-mortem
statement. This is construed to mean
that he is of the opinion that his
brothers shots that were in.
tended for Barton struck the elder
SoteldO. Barton had his pistol
in his table drawer, which he
seized when attacked. Only one
of the chambers of this was found
to be empty, but Barton had club
and used it on both his assallants.
Young Salido's pistol, was
found to be empty. 1t had five
chambers. The elder's pistol was
fully charged. All the weapons are
in the hands of the police. Barton's
pistol was an old one. Upon the
person of the wounded Solido was
found a ten inch dirk. All of the
weapons were new and bright. Bar
ton, in his statement, says that both
the assailants were greatly under the
influence of liquor. The younger
one was arraigned in the police
court to-day, charged with assault
and battery, with intent to Kill his
brother, Antonio Soteldo, and was
committed without bail, to await
the result OF the latter's injuries.
Barton is not seriously wounded by
either wound.
