The Hotel Register Must Go.

The register at some of the fashionable
hotels will soon be among the unused If
mot among the forgotten things There
is movement on foot to abolish it en-
tirely. and sooner OF later, like good
many other things, it will have to go.
People are buster now than they used TO
be. or else they are lazier. Formerly hotel
guests registered their names and the
places from which they came with good
deal of accuracy and attention Now
most of the public men and generally all
lady travellers decline to allow their names
TO appear on the book at all. They simply
give their names and places of residence
to the clerk. who notes the same and
sticks the little card containing the in
formation in the office rack. The real
object of the register was to accommodate
the outsider any way, and even in this
respect has fallen into disuse. The
stranger comes in looking for friend
and eonsults the book. and nine times
out of ten if he does not find the name on
she register he turns and asks the clerk II
tine person he seeks is stopping in the
house This is fast age, and the regis
ter seems to be in the way now on the

When water once begins to boil it Is
impossible to raise its temperature any
higher; all excess of heat is absorbed by
the escaping, as so called. latent heat,
and is given out again when it con

we shall notice that nothing can be seen

The CITY Attorney andlPollce.

There is lots of kicking on the
streets to-day at the action of the
council last night in its proposed
reduction of the police force.
Economy is good thing; but this
is considered very poor economy.
The force had better be increased, is
the verdict of all business men to
whom the matter was referred by
the writer, to-day, now that the
city is without lights at night, in
the interest of proper protection of
property, both from midnight
marauders and fire. An officer
should be stationed at the university,
too, these evenings, to guard the
decent people of the city from insult
at the hands of a crowd of hoodlums,
mentioned before in these columns.
Last night, the stile posts were
found covered with tobacco spit, the
work Of these nice young boys-one
referred to by the way, asked this
paper to-day to deny that it was
he. Another action of the council
only causes smiles among the citi-
zens. That is their repeal of an
ordinance by viva voce vote of the
council, instead Of by another ordi-
nance. This was the ordinance re-
lating to the city attorney. The
council will likely be surprised to
hear, Notwithstanding the motion
and its adoption repeating the same,
that the ordinance is still in force
and that Attorney Bingham can
still draw his salary.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Some Recommendations to the City
Council. Teams and Tests
Wanted.

Last night several communi-
cations We're presented to the city
council concerning our volunteer
fire service, and while all bear more
or less merit, it cannot be seen that
that honorable body paid very
much attention to them.
One was from w. f. Dugan, of
Capitals, asking the council to take
some action to provide teams for use
in pulling engines to fires. This is
almost an absolute necessity, especi-
ally in the case of Capitals, and
such niggardliness as the council
once displayed in this matter was
absolutely criminal. Ten minutes
of time saved in getting fire engine
to a single fire would be likely to
save to the city property of suftici-
ent value to pay the expense of
teams for whole year. Arrange
ments should be made for keeping
the teams in the engine houses.
The insurance companies doing
business in this city, have applied to
the department to have all appa-
ratus, hose, etc, tested, and this
should be done. A bursted section
of hose is always a cause of the loss
of much valuable time at fire, and
bad hose, etc, should be condemned
before, rather than after fire.
Chief Churchill informed the
council that the pressure obtainable
in the 3S hydrants of the city ranged
between go and so pounds, and that
the pressure would be always suffici-
ent if people would take the pre-
caution at an alarm to shut off
lawn hose, faucets, etc, and he sug-
gested that the water works be con-
nected with the fire bell, so that the
engineer would have immediate
notice of fire, and put ON the
necessary pressure. If this would
help matters, it should be done at
once. An electric fire alarm service,
however, is what this town should
have. Referring to the lowered
pressure from the continual running
If garden hose, the council might
pass an ordinance requiring these to
De shut off at night, under penalty.
A good many Improvements might
De made in our fire service, which
would aid it in many ways.

but was talking TO a couple Of
friends. The parties who were
engaged in the insulting remarks
constituted a different party of
young men, and our informant
probably was mistaken when he
picked out the young man as the
leader.
