heimer Avenue.
CITY CLERKS OFFICE, |
ST. PAUL, Dec. 6, 1888. !

Whereas, A petition has been filed in
this Office by order of the Common
Council, as required by law, asking for
the vacation of SO much OF La Sale
street as lies northerly Of Auburn ave-
nue., and so much of Bernheimer ave-
hue as lies northerly of the east line
OF HerSey avenue produced to Bern
heimer avenue and south of the south
line of the Territorial road, except Au
burn avenue; and,
Whereas, The petitioners state that
they are residents of said city of st. Paul,
and majority of the owners of the prop
erty fronting on said streets asked to
be vacated, and that the reason for said
vacation is that the opening of Hersey
street, from the Territorial road to an
intersection with Bernheimer avenue,
is very much needed as drainage line
for sewerage purposes, and that said
portions of said La Sale street and
Bernheimer avenue asked to be vacated
connect with nothing north of the Ter
ritoral road, ETC.; now, therefore,
Notice is hereby given that said pc
tition will be heard and considered by
the Common Council of the City of st.

New YORK, Dec. Cat the meeting
of the Joint committee of the trunk lines
to-day the following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, It is asserted and believed that
certain lines in the territory of the commit
tee have resumed the payment OF commits
sions for the sale of passenger tickets con-
trary to the agreement OF those lines Win
their competitors: and
Whereas. 1t is believed that unless these
lines can be induced to stop the payment OF
commissions other lines competing with
them will, for their own proiecton, IeeI
Obliged to resume the practice, thus bringing
back upon the railroads of the country all the
evils of the commission system, from Wnlcn a
large number of them have been wholly or Ill
part freed themselves;
Resolved. That the matter be presented to
the executive committee, with the earnest
recommendation that they proceed without
DELAY to lay the subject before the managing
officers of ali lines in the territory OF the
Joint committee supposed to pay commls-
Sions. and endeavor by every reasonable
means to secure assurances from them that
they will Immediately discontinue and mere
after refrain from such payments.
Whereas Certain lines competing 1of
through blIsiness deem it impracticable to
secure a fair proportion of the traffic at cur
rent rates;
Resolved. That we recommend that the
managing officers take up the questlon OF
differential fares, with view OF aforoIlS
such lines opportunity to secure reasonaDle
proportion Of the through business, ana thus
remove the motive of commission paying or
other irregularities.

The Ingenuity Of womankInd.

A story was told the other day that
admirably exemplified the ingenuity OF
womankind. Ii was told by a well known
dock maj as he was taking a trip around
Grand Island the other afternoon. They
had no end of trouble in trying to keep
cups for drinking purposes at the water
coolers ON the Periwinkle last summer"
said he. THE captain was in despair.
He had tried claiming the cups, but the
women ever broke the chains. Finally
the engineer hit upon a bright and
novel plan. Il tell you what TO do he
said. Just prick a hole through the bot
tom of each cup. That will make them
leak so that it will be impossible to carry
them to the upper deck The captain
was delighted, and Immediately ordered
a lot of new cups, which were carefully
bored. Then the engineer made himself
ready to smile at the passengers discom-
future. The first person that tried carry
ing water upstairs was a small boy, who
tested every cup and finally gave up the
attempt.
THE engineer chuckled and Rugged
himself in diabolical glee at the sue
cess Of his scheme, but a school girl
fooled him just the same. She came
down humming an air from 'Erminie,'
filled up the first cup she got hold of and
started. The engineers delight was get
ting beyond bounds when he saw the
water streaming along the floor. The
girl saw it, too, and stopped short.
She sized up the leak and then, going
back to the cooler, deliberately reflled
the cup, put her finger ove the leak and
carried the cup of water up stairs in tri-
umph. That was the maddest engineer
! ever saw, but instead Of getting angry
! roared when he told me of it, and said:
Score one for the girl. Bless the dear
things, anyhow. No matter how hard
or how often a man may try to fool them,
It is the girl who comes out ahead. Say
what you are a mind to, they get there
every time. '"-Buffalo News.
