DIVIDE TIE CITY.

In order that the service may be made
more effect to the end of keeping the
streets aud alleys in a clean and healthy
condition the board recommended that
the city he divided into two districts,
with hull street as the line OF partition,
and that two scayengers be elected, in
stead of one, as heretofore.
There IVES a division Of opinion among
members OF the Council as TO whether 1t
would be better 10 have two men to fill
this Office. Some thought the idea u
good one, as each would strive 10 keep
his district In better condition than his
competitor ON the other side Of the
street; others thought it would be best
to elect bat one scavenger, and let him
be a man able 10 give thorough SER
vice.
1t was finally decided to refer the
whole subject to the Committee on
Lands and Buildings and to postpone the
election until the next meeting.

How and When to Drink Water.

According to DR.. Leuf, when water is
taken into the full or partly full
stomach, it does not mingle with the
food, as we are taught, but passes along
quickly between the food and lesser
curative toward the pyIorus, through
witch it passes into the intestines. The
secretion of mucus by the lining mem
brane is constant, and during the night
a considerable amount accumulates in
the stomach; some of its LIQUID portion
is absorbed. and that which remains is
thick and tenacious. If food is taken
into the stomach when in this condition
it becomes coated with this mucus, and
the secretion of the gastric juice and its
action are delayed. The facts show the
value of drop of water before break
fast. This washes out the tenacious
mucus, and stimulates the gastric
glands to secretion. In old and feeble
persons water should not be taken cold,
but it may be with great advantage be
taken warm or hot. This removal OF
the accumulated mucus from the stom-
ach is probably one of the reasons why
taking soup at the beginning of meal
has been found so beneficial.

Mysterious Condition of Prominent
Contractor of Toledo, o.
A Toledo, o., dispatch of the goth
says: Three weeks ago Adam Rem
inert, well-known building contractor,
disappeared in mysterious manner.
Some months since Remmert was
awarded the contract for building two
new school buildings in this city, but
he took the job cheapIy, and finding
that he would lose money, he lett the
city. A most diligent search was made
for him by his family and friends, but
without avail, and he was given UP as
either dead or having fed to avoid
the disgrace of business failure. The
mystery was solved yesterday morning.
AS hunter was passing through the
woods near Grassy Point, three miles
below the city, be discovered man
half nude, with what clothes he had on
in tatters. He called to him and dis
covered, to his great surprise, that it
was Remmert, whom he knew well.
The unfortunate man, hearing his name
called. turned and ran like a deer
through the woods, uttering insane i'm
precautions as he ran. The matter was
reported to the chief of police, who de-
tailed squad of officers to search for
him. The hunt is now in progress.
Mrs. Remmert is almost distracted at
the fate of her husband.

A New Dam,

A dispatch of the Goth says: The gener-
al impression that the south Fork dam
would never be rebuilt appears to be
erroneous, as there is a strong probable
ity that a fishing lake will again be es-
tablished in that locality. A member of
the fishing club Of that name said to-
day that the belief that South Fork had
been abandoned as a club resort was
mistaken. TIE club, he said, could not
afford to lose all the money
1t had invested in real estate
in that locality. The property was
worth fully 100000, and if the
fishing resort was not re-established
the whole investment would become
almost dead loss. The intention, he
said, was not to build dam of the size
of the one destroyed, but one which
would make the lake much less in size,
SO that in the event of the barrier again
giving away no destruction to life and
property would follow. No move in
that direction will be made until after
the damage suit now pending against
the stockholders is settled.

To Protect Clothing from Insects.
From the Chicago Times.

More than 100 years ago Reaumur, OBJ
serving that clothing moths never at
tackled the wool and hair on living
animals, inferred that the natural odor
of the wool or of the oily matter in it
was distasteful to them, consequently he
rubbed various garments with the wool
of fresh pelts and also wet other gar
ments with the water in which wool
had been washed, and found that they
were never attacked by moths. Ex-
periments with tobacco smoke and the
odors of spirits of turpentine showed
that both were equally destructive, but
it was necessary to close the rooms very
tightly and keep the fumes very dense
in them for twentv-four hours to obtain
satisfactory results. Chests of cedar
or sprigs of this tree are so disagreeable
to them that they will not deposit their
eggs where this odor is at all strong,
but should the eggs be laid before the
garments are packed away the odor
will not prevent the Matching of eggs
nor the destructive work of the larvae
afterward. Clothing may also be pro-
tected from moths by packing it in
stout cotton or paper bags made per-
fectly tight, but this must be done be-
fore the moths appear on the wing.

Missouri, at Chicago: 1t is reported
that the Indians are moving east, and
that they were seen at the head of Elk

the head of White River That no
step is taken to head them off and send
them back where they belong is won
dered at. AS the red men are not stop
ped by the officials, private parties are
planning raid on the red murauders
and lively skirmish will ensue. In
view of the above reports the major
general commanding directs that you
take such precautionary steps as may
be deemed proper to prevent trouble
between the Indians and the whites in
Western Colorado.
These Indians are Utes and were for

The MikadO'S Son.
From the San Francisco Examiner.

From the San Francisco Examiner
His Imperial Highness Prince Haru,
heir apparent to the throne OF Japan. is
now. In his tenth year. A delicate
child IN mis- early days, he has happily
acquired health and strength as years
went by. No imperial prince in this
empire has ever been similarly brought
up. The Princes mode of life is model
ed almost entirely upon Western lines.
He attends the mobiles school daily,
and studies precisely as do his fellow
students. The Choya Shin bun saws
that in both literature and military sci
ence he has made extraordinary pro-
gress, but Of what this bugei military
sclence) consists We cannot precisely
say. In olden times noble Japanese
began, at very early age, to study the
use OF the bow. the sword, and the
lance, but even In the case of an imper-
lal prince skill In managing such Wea-
pons scarcely continues to be included
among essential accomplishments.
Doubtless Prince Haru takes lessons
in fencing and equestrianism as a part
OF his school course, and in archery as
a pastlme. The Choa tells us that he
has cold bath every morning; that his
diet is chiefly meat; that he has shaken
himself entirely free from petticoat
government; that his constant compan-
IONS are officers and tutors; that he is
fond of visiting beautiful scenery, as at
Enoshima and Atami; that he plays on
the seashore and in the woods like any
ordinary boy, and that in consequence
he is lustv and active. Our contempo-
rary quotes Mr.. Takasaki, vice grand
master of the Board of Ceremonies, as
saying that if such an education had al
ways been giyin to the youthful Daimyo,
the present representatives. of that
body would occupy a very different
place in the national polity, and that
the history of Japan during the past
1000 years contains no instance of the
heir to the throne being brought up in
such manner. We learn on the same
authority that Prince Haru treats every
body, even TO the lowest of those about
him, with the greatest courtesy: that ne
takes a keen interest in his FELLOWSHIP
dents at the MOBILES school, making
minute inquiries whenever any one of
them is prevented by sickness from at
tending, and that his conduct is in every
respect exemplary

A Gigantic Wolf Drive.
Cheyenne Corr. New York World.

cheyenne Corr. New York World.
A big wolf drive by several hundred
stockmen, cowboys and sportsmen took
place in Southern Wyoming yesterday.
The drive resulted in the determination
OF all the coyotes and gray wolves in
large district. and afforded unique sport
for the participants in it. The district
swept by the drive is watered by nu-
merous creeks, along which are rich
stock ranches. The country is hemmed
in for it's entire length by a range of
limestone cliffs, known as Chalk bluffs.
in which are hundreds of small caves
and dens. In these gray wolves and
coyotes hide. During the present sea-
son their numbers have increased large
ly, and the losses of the stockmen from
their constant preying upon young
calves and colts have been excessive.
At daylight yesterday from every ranch
between Cheyenne and the Nebraska
line, thirty miles distant, stockmen
against the wolves. They were rein
forced by 200 horsemen from Cheyenne,
and had as spectators large delegation
of business men and ladies, who drove
to the starting point. At O'Clock the
long line OF riders, under command of
ten captains, moved forward. All the
known haunts Of the wolves were beat
en- by men and dogs. Sinking coyotes
and defiant wolves broke from cover
and ran for the protecting caves of
Chalk Bluffs. Occasionally the hounds
turned wolf toward the riders, and
brought him to bay. The expert cow
boys would throw their larlats around
the wolf and drag him to death across
the prairie. The drive lasted until
noon. At points of rendezvous in the
valley skirted by the bluffs were barbe-
cued steers and coffee for the hunters.
The afternoon was devoted to smoking
out the wolf dens and killing their oc-
cupants. Where flames and smoke
failed to drive out the wolves charges of
dynamite were exploded, tumbling
down portions of the cliffs and burying
the wolves in the ruins.

TO OBSERVE THE ECLIPSE.
An Expedition Going to Africa Under
Direction of the Government.

An Expedition Going to Africa Under
Direction of the Government.
Preparations for the expedition to
Africa to observe the total eclipse of the
sun, which occurs in December next,
are being actively pushed forward at
Washington. The scientists are max
ing their advance calculations, instru-
ments are being purchased and reg
ulated, and everything is being
attended to that can be done in advance.
The meagre appropriation gwen by Con-
gress for this work, $1,000, necessitates
very careful expenditures, and it will be
impossible TO send the expedition to st.
Paul de Loando, where the observations
will take place, except on a government
vessel. 1t was at first thought that the
new cruiser Baltimore would be select
ed for this purpose, but it is now seen
that she will not be ready for sea in time
for the expedition, which will have to
sail about October /. One of the older
vessels Will probably be sent over with
the scientists, possibly the Alliance,
now at Norfolk.

broke out in the kitchen of the restau-

RAIDING THE CLUB HOUSES
Gamblers at Saratoga Visited by Squad
of Police.


SARATOGA. n. Y, Aug. 22.-It begins
to look as though the Saratoga gamblers
had got to go. Preliminary raids were
made yesterday on Mccormick and
Welcne's, Charley Mahan's ana Mitch
ellis places. Complaint was made be-
fore Police Justice Pearson, charging
them with keeping places where
gambling was carried on, and warrants
were issued for their arrest. All the
arrested persons waived examination
and gave bail in $500. The complaints
were prepared by George Addington,
an Albany lawyer, upon the application
and testimony of one Eugene SOULS,
residence unknown. Both the lawyer
and SOULS admitted in court that they
were hired by Spencer Trask to come
here for the express purpose of closing
up and cleaning out every place in Sara
toga where gambling is carried on.
At late hour last night, upon COM
plant of the same persons, a raid was
made upon the Saratoga Club House.
There were no seizures. Albert Spen-
Ger was arrested, taken before the po-
lice justice and was held to bail IN the
sum of $4,000. There was no interrup.
ton of play at the club house and at
midnight everything was going on as
though nothing had happened. At the
other places raided all the parapherna-
lila for gambling have reappeared, and
the games go on.
Whatever of regret is felt about the
matter is born of the fear that the clos
ing of the club house will result in the
discontinuance of the races, as Mr.. Spen-
Ger who owns both race track and the
club house, has repeatedly declared
that the expense of either is dependent
upon the unmolested continuance of
the other.
