THE CITY HALL-The building COM
mittee of the city council is not yet able
to give any more than an estimated cost
of the city hall, now in process of con-
stru6tion, but they agree that it will not
exceed the amount realized from the sale
of city bonds. The bonds drawing, six
per cent, interest payable semi-annually,
have twenty years to run, and were sold
for premium of seven per cent, netting
$6,42O. To this may be added a trifle
paid for stone last winter from the gen
eral fund, making the total cost provid-
ed for about $4,000. Contracts have
been let as follows:
Stone k........................$ 1913
Carpenter wOrk................... $500
Steel cells ooo.SO
Lumber, about. 100000
Brick and labor, about........... 27oO.OO
Making a total of about $5,OOO.OO of
contracts already let. To this must be
added the hardware, including the roof,
plastering, painting, and whatever may
be required to place the hall in proper
condition for occupancy, in all probable
ity $500. Thus it will be seen that the
building will be completed within the
amount realized for the bonds as above
indicated. The committee is entitled to
credit tor the manner in which they have
taken hold of the matter confded to
them. and are to be congratulated upon
securing figures so reasonable upon the
contracts already given out.
CITY CoUNCIL-An adjourned meeting
Of the city council was held on Tuesday
evening for the purpose of opening sealed

Apatent medicine man tackled DR.. Du-
Bots, with his nostrum, not knowing
whom he was talking to. The doctor
admitted he was not feeling well and
said he believed he had warts on his liver.
The p. m. man had never heard of them
before, but at the same time was willing
to guarantee complete cure if the doc
toror would follow directions faithfully
in taking about eight boxes of the stuff.
Later, when the vender found out to
whom he had been talking he smole a

part of the lake. Morrison, in a medita-

ceived its peculiar name. Lon Storey,
versed in all local historic lore, gravely
gave the information that an old Chip
pewa chief, Saukee by name, was buried
in the mound at the head of the lake and
this fact accounted for the name. Nor
rison evidently accepted the explanation
and with marked enthusiasm suggested
that the party proceed to exhume the

GIVING no THRR POOR.
Degrading Effects of Public
Charity - LOndOm's Modes OF
Relief.

Charles W. Smiley in Popular Science Monthly.
Those who are interested to ex-
anime the economic results of giving
to the poor, IN England, Scotland and
Ireland, will find plenty of books on
the subject. The Encyclopaedia
Britannica" contains a good article
under the heading "poOr law" See
also other encyclopedias.
The Scotch are prOveFbially thrifty
and economical, and yet they have
been degraded by the poor law of
l845. In some parts of Scotland
there is ten times the poverty there 10
in Ireland! That law gives more relief
than England's, and the money is re-
garded as nice gift. Those who had
savings in banks transferred them to
others. Careful investigation, and
even the labor test, did not quell the
applications in any such manner as
did the Irish workhouse. Matters
came to snCh pass that the fisher
men of Wick could not get their nets
mended, their former assistants saying
that they could get a living easier
from the parish
In Ireland there is very little out
door relief, the proportion of Scotland
being almost roversed--fve in door to
one out door pauper In spite Of
IreIand's unjust land system and high
rents, the whole number Of her pau
pers does not amount to one-half
those of London alone. The Irish
will submit to every priVation rather
than let friends 60 to the woIkhouse,
which is the legal mode OF reiIef, aud
is not charity.
In London many people get relief
who could do without it, and consider
it no disgrace. Industry, economy,
Temperance and self-restraint would
enable most of them to take care of
themselves if they would. Hence
the WOTkhOuse is necessary re-
Straint, beng uncomfortable or even
disgraCeiul. They therefore shun it,.
If they may cat without work in some
other way, they will If not, many of
them will work. Why are these peo-
pie in such condition. 1t is a duty
we owe to society to ascertain what
are their thoughts, what the motives
that have led them to such lives. If
the result is that the vices and in.
justices and prodigality of the rich
have in part induced such results, Let
it be exposed boldly and fearlessIy. II
injustice in the wage system and in
land tenure is tho cause in part, let
this also be proclaimed.

fine "Oakbourne" plantation, yester-
day. He was found in the full tide

an exceptional degree.
The general exhibited a letter he
had just received from an Alabama
planter who had read in the Item of
his undertaking here. 1t contained
these encouraging words;
"ToO much praise can not be given
to yourself and DR., Ayers for the noble

bright fire was burning, Famed by
the wind her clothing touched the
flames, and in a short time they were
