CITY COUNCIL,

The regular meeting of the city coun
Gil as called for last evening met in the
council chambers with five members
present.
In the absence of Mayor Fairfield c.
NJ. Webster called the council to order
and proceeded with the following bust
ness:
Reading of minutes and calling roll
OF members. Present, Aldermen Clin-
ton, Bridges, Hickory and johnson.
Petition was read from j. D. Gould
asking right to remove Leland house on
First avenue south to adjoining lot. Re
ferred to the fire department committee.

VIM. H. Morrow of St. Louis, Mo-, to lay
pipe and gas mains along the streets and
thoroughfares of the city, erect gas works
and furnish the best grade of coal gas
and to commence work on such laying
Of mains within four months from pas
sage of proposed ordinance and have fin
ished two miles of proposed gas mains
was read before the council. Referred
to ordinance committee.
In the report Of standing committees,
Alderman John Clinton, chairman of the
ordinance committee presented three Pc
titions, the first being that of Francis H.
Williams, asking for an ordinance grant
ing the right to lay street railway in
the city of Great Falls as heretofore ac-
counted in the LEADER. The committee
reported urfavorably on this petition and
motion was made that the committees
report be accepted. Carried. After
which motion was made to lay the asked
for franchise on the table. Carried.
The second petition was that of VIM
G. Rowan, asking for electric light fran
chise, upon which the committee report
ed unfavorably. Motion was made to ac
cept report Of committee, which was car
ried.
Petition of John P. Dyas was next il
order asking for franchise to erect tele
phone poles in the city and put in opera
ton a line Of telephone. This was re
ported unfavorable by the committee ant
motion was made that the petition be
placed on file. Carried. The reason givel
by the committee for reporting thusly OF
the two above asked for franchises was
that it would be the means of allowing
three different lines of poles on oul
streets and seeing the trouble older citie
were experiencing, thought this the bes
plan of-pr6ceedure.
Special committee on the planting o
trees was given further time.
: A petition was then presented and al
, though out of the regular order, wa
read asking the city council tina
, Sol. Yates be appointed es police force il

Onne OIde Tyne Concerto.
'ouncil adjourned.

The good people of Great Falls came
out from ther homes in goodly numbers
to attend the old time concert at the
Presbyterian church last evening. Time
and space forbid us from saying what we
would like to about this excellent enter
tainment. Were we to mention each part
separately, it would only be with words
of praise like what we can apply to the
whole. From the leader to the children
with their recitations, everyone contrib
uted to making the concert a success.
The programme arranged with view

Africa is advancing to civilization over
the same bloody path that marked the
first settlement Of America by Euro
peans. Explorer after explorer has been
massacred in the interior of the Dark
Continent by savages who instinctively
read their doom in the coming of the
at Khartoum, two years ago DR.. Juehike
was assassinated by the SomaH in east
Africa, and not long afterwards Maj.
Bartellot met his death in the same
manner while penetrating Africa from
the west side. Stanley arrived barely in
time to save Emin Pasha alive. These
are only few Of the prominent names
in the melancholy list.

America has not been supposed equal
to the task Of setting fashions for the
world. Especially one would not have
expected the American cowboy to fix
the styles for fashionable Europe, but he
has done just that. The new soft hat
now coming in fashion for men is a mod
ification of the headgear worn by Buff
falo Bills wild western boys in his show
at Paris. Many Of the young bloods in
Paris and London are SO pleased with
the cowboy hat that they are wearing it
in those cities in its original shape, in all
its untamed glory Of slouch and broad
brin.

Spain now threatens to give Colum-
bus exposition in 1899, and thus take the
wind out of the American sail. Italy
threatens the same because Columbus
happened to be born there. These ma
tions ought to celebrate Columbus, both
of them. Italy whistled him down the
wind with scorn when he spoke of new
world beyond seas, and drove him
out of her borders as a crank. Spain
cheated him out Of all his possessions,
even his glory, after he had given her a
continent, and finally starved him to
death. America is the only country
that did not wrong him. Oh, yes Let

But without them there are enough of

Dear Woman.

Men, laundering creatures, might
never know women had any faults, only
for the women themselves. So, by pro-
vision Of merciful providence, women
are sent along to point out to the uni
verse the faults, great and small, of
their own sex. Men have shown them
selves, in many instances, willing to ad-
vance ladies to places of trust and re-
sponsibility, in schools, factories and
elswhere where girls are employed.
What then2 Immediately there is a
fareup. The factory girl vows she
"won't work under no woman" Are
women suggested for responsible places
in schools9 Assistant lady teachers at
once declare: "We don't want woman
over us. A man is bad enough"
For some three years two ladies Of
standing were members of the New
York school board. They did not seek
the appointment, but accepted it when
it was offered, and did their duty, appar-
emily, to the satisfaction of their male
colleagues. At least, no man ever ex-
pressed any dissatisfaction with them.
But now come five lady school teachers,
who say they represent nearly all the
rest, and present a petition to the mayor
protesting against the appointment Of
any more women school commissioners.
They charged against one of the two
that she had never offered any resolu-
ton since she had been in the board.
Her sisters who object to her certainly
present resolution enough to make up
for her lack. The lady teachers further
charge that, through gallantry, the men
in the board are made to be weaklings
by the presence of the feminine commits
sioners Again, one must congratulate
the lady teachers that they, at least, are
not weaklings.
Still another instance Of the fine crit
ical sense of woman against woman ap
pears in New York. The female princi.
pal of a public school there has issued an
edict that the lady teachers in her school
shan't wear bangs No more shall he1
girl pupils. She gives no reason particu
larly, except the woman's reason that il
isn't nice. Further, her assistant teach
ers shall not go out of the building fol
luncheon. They must bring their lunch
con and eat it in their own rooms
otherwise they "get together and gossip.
A disruption of the school is threatened
over these mighty matters.
Now, man might have been principa
of that school forty years and neve
found all this out. But sweet woma,
knows, bless her!
In the world Of business affairs, mel
are like the pebbles of river bed, thei
sharp points have been rounded off by
attrition. Women might be compared
perhaps, to the sharp bits of rock throw
out by blasting powder, bristling will
points and edges. They have not ye
been ground down by rubbing agains
the world.
But the question that occurs to the av
erage unenlightened masculine mind i
this: If women are as bad as their owl
sex make them out to be, then, really
will it be wise ever to give them an,
more wages, rights or responsibilitie
than they have now? Rather, would
not be wisdom to take away even thos
they have? In short, will not such Incl
dents have tendency to put off wha
some people call the emancipation o
women for thousand years2

SEVENTY YEARS OLD---WE
ARE THANKFUL TO THE
PEOPLEOF DURHAM
AND EVERYWHERE.

With this issue the RECORDER
enters upon its 70-volume: this il
pretty old, some will say. Yes, VT
have several subscribers ON our re-
tired list, having been taken the Re-
cogDgg since 1870, when it was es-
tablishei in Hillsboro, by Mr..
Dennis Heartt. The RECORDER re-
calls WITH pleasure many things that
have taken place since it has been
in Durham: among them it remem-
bers we'll when Mr.. II. A. Reams,
the pioneer warehouseman, in 1874
he was then proprietor Of the Dur
ham Warehouse: he sold that year
three million two hundred thous-
and pounds Of tobacco. and since
that time Durham has been THE to.
bacco market Of the Golden Belt
And in conclusion we must say, that
the ladies' who read the RECORDED
are always observed TO possess win
ming ways, most neutrality-suspicious.
invariably make good wives, and al
ways select good husbands.
