COME UP WITH THE DUST.
THE sUREsT WAY OF GETTING YOUR
STREETS PAVED.
The Pile Of Private Subscriptions to De-
termine Where the Street Budget is
to be Expended-why They are Hang
ing Back Along Main Street.

"You newspaper fellows must not over
look responsibility the council has inn
posed upon you," remarked President
MADDEN to an APPEAL reporter yesterday.
"And what might that be?" inquired the
reporter.
at might be blamed sight Of things,"
replied the aspirant for gubernatorial dis
tinction, "but it's only the question OF
paving. You remember we set apart
Thursday, April 5, for a discussion and
consideration of that subject, and no other
question can creep in. Were forty new
railroads and dozen manufacturing con-
Germs knocking at our doors for admission,
they would be barred on that particular
day"
"What is tho paramount thought YOU
desire kept continually before the people?"
subscriptions by the property owners
and others who may feel thrill of liber-
atty stealing softly Ger them Whatever
the other councilmen may do, I'm going
in for the subscriptions, and shall vote for
the street along which the residents raise
the largest sum. All portions OF the city
are entitled TO the same consideration in
this respect. All our people pay taxes
and the streets along which they live are
equally interested in the street budgets
Ii those who live in the suburbs are will
ing TO supplement their natural interest
with strong acquired one, they should
be attended to. | believe in making
all our streets main ones. II would be
good idea to pave Third street and other
thoroughfares, and thus relieve Main and
Second streets from the bulk OF heavy
hauling"
"What Is your information as 10 the
prospective responses from the people?"
Encouraging, very, but mostly from the
suburbs. There seems TO be hanging back
on Main street, on account of the street car
company. You see, the franchise of the
company will expire by limitation in about
five years, and people are relying upon a
new corporation buying the franchise and
paving the street from end TO end with
granite. And they will probably be in
donsed, II they have the patience and en-
durancc TO hold out on that prospect.
Another plan has been suggested by a
leading business man, namely: To call
upon the property owners iirst get them TO
pledge 80 much, then solicit from occu-
pants. lie believes the latter will come up
with almost rs much liberality as the for
mer. The question with me Is, who's
going TO do this canyassIng2 II il for the
people Interested, and not the council"
do you not anticipate disagrcements
among the members which will protract
the special session TO one Of almost in
terminablc length?"
mo, for cannot see how We can argue
the point when required subscriptions are
placed at our disposal. However, my as
sociatcs have their views on the subject,
have not made known their determine
ton, and may insist upon looking after
the principal business streets fnt. The
majority rules, you know, and whatever
they decide ! shall endcayor TO carry out
TO the best OF my ability"

GIVE UP EVIL HABITS.


Dead And then you will take out the
white lock OF hair that was cut from your
mothers brow just before they buried her,
and you will take the cane with which
your father used to walk, and you will
think and think and wish that you had
done just as they wanted you to, and
would give the world il you had never
thrust pang through their dearold hearts.
God pity the young man who has brought
disgrace on his fathers name. God pity
the young man who has broken his
mothers heart. Better ii he had never
been bon-better il, in the first hour OF
his life, instead OF being laid against the
warm bosom OF maternal tenderness, he
had been coilined and sepulchered There
is no balm powerful enough to heal the
heart OF one who has brought parents TO a
sorrowful grave, and who wanders about
through the dismal cemetery, rending the
hair and wringing the hands and crying
"Motherl motherl" Oh, that today, by
all the memories OF the past, and by all the
hopes OF the future, you would yield your
hearts TO God. May your fathers God
and your mothers God be your God for

MIGRATION OF BIRDS.
A Movement Beset With Many Perils and
Many Difficulties.

a movement tSeSeC WIN Many Per1lS and
Many Difficulties.
Birds often lose their way; a con-
trary wind or spell of dark, cloudy
weather appears to disorganize their
movements, and, like mariners without
a compass, they are at a loss which di-
rection to take. Many wonderful
scenes are witnessed at the lighthouses
on some part of the British coasts dur
ing the season of migration. Some
times when the moon is suddenly hid
den by bank of clouds the,lanterns of
the lighthouses are the point to which
the stream of migrants hasten, and
where in confused futtering throng
they beat against the glass like moths
round candle and fly to and fro, utter
ly bewildered and completely lost.
They seem to have no idea of their
true course, and fly aimlessly about,
many killing themselves against the
glass, others falling into the water be-
low. The light-Inen are alert on these
occasions, and capture numbers of
the poor lost travellers with hand nets.
Many of the birds are too tired
or too dazed to move and allow them
selves to be taken by the hand as they
sit on the balcony. Let the reader
represent to himself lighthouse on
one of these migration nights. The
tideo migration is at its height. The
night is dark and the lanterns are the
central point of attraction for the
countless hosts of birds that were
crossing the sea when the sky became
overcast. Birds of many different
species are flying together or are at
tracted from all points of the compass
by the brilliant light Ducks and
geese are travelling with gold-crests
and swallows. Starlings and finches
are flying side by side with gulls and
waders. Warblers and herons scatter
scientific classification to the winds,
and fraternize with swans and goat
suckers and larks- Falcons and owls
appear to lose ali propensity for prey
ing on their helpless, fellow-voyagers,
and fly harmlessly to and fro among
their companions in misfortune. As
soon as the weather clears, and the
moon shines forth once more, the birds
appear to get on their right track
again, and the feathered hosts are gone
as suddenly as they came. These mi
gratory movements lend bird life its
greatest charm in autumn.-G00d

The Bismarck of To-day.

Y'he Bismarck now before me was
very different from the Bismarck 1
used to see in Berlin six or seven years
ago before DR.. Schweninger took him
in hand. The Bismarck of to-day is
thinand bony, and the Doctor has, it
is well-known, disencumbered him Of
Lis unhealthy fat merely by prevent
ing him drinking with his meals He
is looking remarkably well; his gait is
swift and automatic; but denotes real
vigor; his complexion is clear and al
most pink, no doubt the result of the
health-laden breezes from the German
ocean and the Baltic l remark also
that the features are softened down;
you scan them in vain to discover that
harshness, not to say ferocity, which
are so apparent in his photographs. 1t
may, however be due to the fact of his
being in civilian g;srb. His soft felt
hat, very much the worse for wear, his
long gray coat and heavy stick, give
him the aspect of a plain country gen.
tleman come to the st alton to meet a
friend. When he dons his uniform he
is another man, and looks the suriy
trooper all over. The country folk
have repeatedly noticed this difference.
The Chancellor's healthy appearance
is not deceptive. All the people in
whose midst he lives tell me that his
health is better than it has been for
years past; and a proof OF this is that
this year it has not been found neces-
sary to send him to Kissingep.-Pasis

PEOPLE BURIED ALIVE.
The Awful Story of q Russian Peasant
Woman's Fate.


woman's Fate.
In Russia people are oftener than
elsewhere ed-unintentionally
of course-to that most gruesome OF
all deaths, of which E. A. Poe had
such unfeigned horror-burial alive.
But the circumstances accompanying
this frightful tortue are seldom so
characteristic or so horrible as in the
case of the wife of peasant in the
government of Volhynia, on the borders
of Austria, who, according to the local
Journal, Volhynia, was lately buried in
a coIuatose state. She was expecting
soon to become a mother at the time OF
her supposed death. After the ''corpse"
had been kept the usual time, the par
ish priest, Konstantinoff, recited the
prayers of the burial service in the
church-yard; the widower cast three
handfuls of earth on the coffin, and all
departed except the grave-diggers. In
filling up the grave the latter shoveled
In an unusually large sod of hard earth,
which struck the coffin with a loud
noise, and woke up the unfortunate
woman from her sleep. The horror of
her position at once dawned upon her.
She cried out in most piteous tones to
the grave-diggers to rescue her from a
horrible death. She solemnly prom
ised them all her property if they
would take her from the grave and
coffin. The more she cried and en-
treated, the more strenuous were their
endeavors to fill the grave; and on
leaving the church-yard, when their
work was done, they still heard her
cries and means.
The grave-diggers then hurried off
to her husband who was surrounded
with guests, drinking to the memory
of the deceased. Having related what
had taken place, the matter was dis
cussed by the guests and the neighbors,
who soon came rushing in, and it was
finally resolved mem. con. that an evil
spirit had taken possession of the de-
her walking at night and disturbing
the people, it was absolutely necessary
to disinter her and drive an aspen
stake through her body. The husband
sent a deputation to the priest, asking
permission to disinter the body and
perform this superstitious rite deemed
necessary in all such cases. The priest,
mortified, hurried off to the church.
yard, and had the body disinterred in
the hope of saving a life, but super
stition had already got its victim-the
woman was dead, but unmistakable
signs showed she had struggled hard
to escape from the most horrible death
the human mind can conceive.-PaH
