the leniency of the court for his client, because

TRYING TO CURTAIL EXPENSES.
The Necessity of Economizing in City Affairs
Further Discussed by the Council.

The finsnce committee of the Common Coun-
ell met last night to consider the citys probable
revenues under the new appraisement. When
Councilman Pearson introduced the gen.
eral proposition that there must be
general cut in every department.,
and that he favored a beginning with street inn
provements 10 one was willing to dissent from
that position. He wanted the city engineer to
give them an estimate of what the city will have
to pay under all the improvement ordinances
passed. This led to a general reflection on this
class of improvements, which ia approved by
Council without any regard as to expenditures.
Greenbriar lane which has not house on it, has
just been completed, and lady owner or
900 feet of real estate along its line will have to
give up the property in order to pay the assess
ment Councilman Smith spoke Of another
street that had been improved at great cost
1t is now covered with weeds FIVE feet high.
Mayor Denny, when told by Councilman
Thalman, that the fire department. expenses
would exceed those of last year, said emphatic
ally that reduction must be made there, if it
went to closing up one house and taking a
man out of each company. He also referred
to the sum expended for repairs, and suggested a
cut there. This led to the proposed water con-
tract in which the expense Of fire plugs was
recognized too great. Councilman Pearson
said seventy eight more plugs were paid for
than when the present contract was adopted in
1881. In order to get back these plugs, cut off
at that time, the water company has laid
over seven miles of pipe. Councilman Smith
thought each councilman ought to consent to
doing away with at least three plugs in his
ward. He would be willing to cut off four or
Ave in his part OF the city. Mayor Denny
thought the water company ought to give free
use of water from the thirty or forty drink
ing fountains in consideration of a
clause in the charter ordinance that
permits anyone to attach hose, cock or nozzle
to any plug to get water for persons and animals
without charge, Councilman Thalman did
not think the clause a fair one, Meth
err did the Mayor. but in view of it,
he thought the privilege should pass to the
drinking fountains. AS the city attorney and
one or two members of the committee were
absent, nothing definite was done The COM
mittee will meet again, next Thursday evening.
Any private consumers of water who have
grievances against the company are invited to
be present.

A correspondent writing from New
London, Ct. where Mr.. Arthur is at
present. says those admitted to his
presence are shocked by his emacis ted
and gannt appearance. He has inn
proved IN health and appearance with
in 4 month. but he is sick man still,
but is not discouraged or respondent.
There was time when his condition
gave rise to the most anxious fears,
but vigorous constitution. good nurs-
ing and cheerful disposition brought
him through the crisis. His mind is
clear as bell and he talks on the
current events of the day with as much
zest and perspicacity rs when he was in
the White House. His trouble is purely
stomachic. He lives on whiskey and
milk altogether-a sufficient proof that
he is not suffering. as the papers main
tain, from kidney trouble. Of course
it would be ridiculous to predict that
he will ever recover from his ailment,
but IN the light of his recent improve
ment and the diagnosis of his physi-
clan. the odds are vastly in his favor.

ChiefGeropimo.

Gen. &. Wharton. Inspector Of Land
Offices and Offices Of Snrveyors-and
Territories, has arrived in Washington
from Arizona where he has been OIL
cially engaged since last July. In an in
terview he expressed belief, which he
said was general throughout Arizona,
that Chief Geronimo had taken no
part in the recent outrages in that Ter
ritory, but is safely hidden in the
mountains Of Sonora, Mexico. 1T is
my belief said the General, " that the
band which is terroriZing the whole
Southwest il made up Of young Apache
bucks, at one time or another employ
ed by the government as scouts, with
possibly few Of Geronimo's band.
They are supplied with the very finest
arms, as were furnished them as scouts.
They do not steal cattle and run them
south into the mountains, rs would
reasonably be expected of Geronimo.
in order to be able to maintain a siege.
but on the contrary, they kill the
cattle and run off the horses. For
another reason do not believe GerO-
nimo, is with them. The Indian, who
announced himself as Geronimo to
Peck, whose wife and children were
massacred near Calabasas last April,
spoke English with unusual ilnency,
while it is well known that Geronimo
can speak but few words in English
and those brOkenly.'

In an article on the Quakers Lon
don writer has this to say: ''As, in

still fingers in the air to tell us of the
flowers that have gone. so whole de.
partments of social activity remain
charged with the moral aroma exhaled
by the self-sacrificing and devoted lives
of friends long since deceased. Their
history stretches across the last two
centuries like ray Of white light, and
it is impossible to be other than pro
foundly grateful to those who, by
bringing God down to dwell among
men, have done SO much to humanize

call mankind to 4 renewed faith and

rificing beneficence."

Protection to Sfaclks.

An immense loss in the aggregate
is sustained each year from injury to
hay from imperfect stacking, or from
failure to provide needed cover or pro-
lection to stacks. First, a few words
on the subject of stacking. The great
point in building stack is to keep the
middle so full that when the stack is
settled the inclination will be from the
center to the outside, and from the out
side to the center. In such case,
though the stack may be well topped
out, the water in long continued
beating rain falling upon the outside
will penetrate the body of the stack.
the stacker's place should always be
AS near the center Of the stack as may
be, and care should be taken not TO
tramp the outsides as they are built
up. In such case the middle will be
built up the solidcst, and though bear
ing the greatest weight will settle the
least.
There is little trouble in stacking
prairie hay, either upland or slough,
SO that it will keep. The difficulty
iuCt GdScSs WHICH, VIC COmC W lluOluy,
and still more SO with clover, which
latter can never be made safe from
injury except by protection of some
kind. Where stacking hay on the farm
is a permanent business, to be contin-
ued from year to year, it is doubtless
economy to build rooted hay-sheds,
using telegraph-poles set in the ground
for posts and 4 board roof, boarding
the gables aud sides down four to six
feet below the caves, and leaving the
rest open. But where timothy or clo-
yer is stacked in the open ground, how
ever experienced stacker may be
employed, it is safer to top out with
straw or slough hay, letting such COW
ering come well down over the shout
der of the stack. Canvas covers.
though valuable to protect stacks OF
hay or grain while building, and for
use in threshing, and for many other
purposes on the farm, are too expen-
sive to be used permanently as stack
covers and exposed to the effects of the
weather. They are valuable and every
farm should have a reasonable supply
of them.

During the season Of fresh fruits,
they should always form . part and
the major part-of the morning meal.
II there were any hygienic reasons for
the custom Of eating it at the end rath-
er than the beginning of the meal, we
think that the custom would not obtain
SO generally as it does. Man is con-
trary animal. especially in that which
concerns his health; and if the rules Of
hygiene dictated fruit or anything else
as q first dish at the breakfast table,
that, in all human probability. would
be the dish with which he would wind
up his meal. This we CONSIDER one ar.
gument, q negative one, it is true, t.
prove that health would be better served
with fruit at the beginning than tbs
end Of the meal; but there is anothe,
and stronger one. The season o
fruit is also the season when the system
does not require-indeed it is better
without the grosser foods it can TAX,
at other times of the year with advaat
age. II it be admitted. then. that th.
less of these unrequired foods mar
takes the better, then it follows tina
they should come at the end of tn,
meal if they should come at all, be
cause there they would not be SO likely
to be craved, and consequently less o
them would be eaten.
But whether eaten at the beginnin,
Of q meal, fresh ripe fruit. when it cal
be had, is blessing the breakfast tabl,
should never be without. Cheaper ant
far healthier than the many things tina
too often crowd it out, let it come q
the end Of the meal-if custom or fash
ion will have it so-for it is infinitel,
better there than nowhere. lNichiqa,
