Has the City the Bulge {?

In the con troversy which seems to
have arisen over the paving of so
much of Alamo plaza as is covered by
the tracks of the San Antonio Street
Car Company, it would seem from the
plain letter Of the ordinance that the
street car company is at the mercy Of
the city in this case. Chap. fifty-first
of the revised ordinances in it's elev-
enth section provides that "all steam
or horse railroad tracks and roadbeds
now or hereafter to be constructed
shall be subject to the provisions of
this ordinance, and all companies
failing to comply Herewith shall
upon resolution of the city council for
felt all rights acquired py them and
shall Immediately after such resolu-
ton take up their track in such street
and leave the street in good repair
and condition"
The ordinance 10 which street car
companies must ield obedience under
pain of forfeiture as thus set forth es-
tablishes and declares certain things.
and among other things it provides
for just such a contingency as has
arisen in the paving of Alamo plaza,
After establishing by ordinance the
privileges and franchises of the San
Antonio Street railway company and
also setting forth what limitations
and regulations the said company
must accept, the ordinance also pro-
vIdes, section seven, "that nothing in
this act shall prevent the city at any
time from altering the grade when
once established, or otherwise inn
proving all streets, alleys, plazas or
other public places occupied by such
roadways, or from altering or improv-
ing such streets. alleys, plazas or
other public places and the sewerage
thereof, and in such event it shall be
the duty of such person or company to
change their roadbed to conform to
such grade or pavement"
The city is paving Alamo plaza,
and according to this ordinance it
does appear that the street car COM
pany must change their roadbed to
conform to this pavement, or render
themselves liable to have the same
declared nuisance by resolution of
the city council and their rights
through such plaza declared forfeited.
If as is asserted by the contractors
the delay in paving the plaza is large
ly due to the refusal of the street car
company to comply with the city or
dinance, then it becomes the duty of
the city to enforce the ordinance and
remove all distractions to the imme-
diate completion of that work, which
has already dragged along through
weary months beyond the time which
should have seen it finished under
contract stipulations. This of course
presupposes that the claim of the
city is indisputable, but this view is
denied by some of the legal fratern-
ity, and it is by no means improbable
that the case will reach its final solu-
ton in the courts. The one certain
thing seems to be that the paving con-
tract is bound to be delayed.

Filing q Girls Tongue.

'sHelp! Helpl Take. it OFF,
The above cry startled Principal Huber, Of
the Evangelical Lutheran school. about
O'Clock the other afternoon. He rushed
from the school house and was surprised to
see one of his pupils, pretty 1l-gear-old Pau
line Arndt, come toward him with fat tin
coffee can protruding from her mouth. Pau
line carried her dinner in a basket Her cof-
fee she carried in a fat tin can, the cover tof
which is screwed on. After eating dinner
and drinking her coffee Tuesday noon she
playfully stuck her tongue into Che small hole
on top, and when she, attempted to withdraw
that useful member she found she could not
do so. She ran screaming to the school house
and Mr.. Huber tried to relieve her, but found
he could not do SO.
The imprisoned tongue had rapidly swol-
len, making it impossible to draw it back
again. Picking her up in his arms the
teacher took her to his home. 70 Mitchell
avenue Dr. Siefert was summoned and put
the suffering little one to sleep by means OF
chloroform. Piece by piece the can was cut
away, but when the small band around the
tongue was reached the physician was baked.
Only for a moment, however. file was
procured and the band carefully filed away.
When this was done the child was brought
back to consciousness and taken home.
Pauline was all right again in few days and
her tongue once more resumed its normal
stats-Denver Sun.

How a Great Cardinal Died.

/ was walking in the new apartment OF his
palace when | heard, owing to the noise
which his slippers made, that Cardinal MAJ
arin was coming. | hid myself behind the
tapestry, and heard him speaking aloud.
"Ahl must leave all this" and he halted at
every step, he was so weak, looking on one
side, then on the other. CHANGING at the ar
ticles which struck him most he exclaimed
signing from the bottom Of his heart: Il
must leave all this | had so much trouble
in acquiring these things, and | leave them
with regret. | shall not see them any more
where am going to-" l sighed heavily, Sc
that he heard me. "Who is there9" he said

speak to your eminence of an important lei.

with nightcap on his head; give me your

he; speak to the king and do what he says.
Look at this beautiful Correggio, this Venus
by Titan, and this incompatible picture of

these Adieu, my dear pictures, which have
liked so much, and which have cost Inc sc
much money!" Four or FIVE days
before his death the cardinal had himself
shaved and his mustacho curled. He was sc
thoroughly smothered with paint that he
never looked 50 white and so pink. He then
took turn in the garden in his sedan chair
whereby he accelerated his death, which

that "a hypocrite he lived and hypocrite

A Michigan Incident Which Will Prove

from The Michigan Herald relating an Incl
dent which occurred in Jackson, Mich:
"Some years ago two men belonging to
that sect wished to join the A o. q. w. in
onr city. The minister heard of it and went
to these men and told them it was contrary
to the doctrines of the church, and that if
they joined the A o. z. W. they could not
belong to his church, and also if they died he
would not bury them. One of these men
Joined Schiller lodge, the other did

circumstances of those they left behind One
widow in thirty days received $1,000 from
the A. o. u W, started little shop and
kept her children together and educated
them. The other poor widow was left almost
destitute. She received aid from that minis
ter. He started a subscription paper and
went up and down this city and begged and
prayed of every one he came in contact with
to help the widow and fatherleSs. After a
great effort he succeeded in raising 800,
which he gave to her. 1t was enough to pay
a few months rent and purchase washtubs
and soap to commence life as a washer
