The undersigned members of the city
council of Emf Oria, respectfully re-
quest you to call a meeting of the city
council to be held at the council cham
Der this evening at 7:30 o'clock, for the
purpose OF considering an ordinance

to the Missouri and Kansas Telephone

WIN. CLARKE.
A meeting of the city council is here
by called as requested in the above.
j.. M. GRIFFITH, Mayor.
An ordinance granting certain
rights aud franchises to the Missouri
and Kansas Telephone company was
introduced and after being pretty
thoroughly discussed it was decided the
ordinance should be forwarded to the
president of the company at Topeka
for his approval and if satisfactory
the council would then act upon the
ordinance at the next regular meeting.
Mr. Whitley being present requested
~
the way of furnishing his hotel with
some outlet for the waste water.
Mr.. Sprague. on behalf of numerous
citizens of the Second ward, also asked
that if they did decide to put in enough
sewerage TO relieve the hotels. at the
same time they continue the good work
far enough to relieve those of the lower
part of the city.
Mr.. Sedgwick spoke earnestly in IA
vor of general system of sewerage.
However. he thought it would be a
wise thing for the council to put in at
least enough pipes to relieve the pres
ent wants of the city.
Mr.. Henning followed in few well
chosen remarks, fully endorsing the
ideas as expressed by Mr.. Sedgwick.
Governor Eskridge wound mp with a
very plain and clinching argument in
favor OF a general system. He i'm
pressed upon the council the immediate
necessity of granting sne relief asked
for by Col. Whitley, but at the same
time to put in such sewer as would
be practicable for the general system of
the city.
Council went into executive session.
Mr.. Hotter here took his seat in the
council
Mr.. Phillips moved TO refer the mat
ter OF drainage for the Hotel Whitley
TO the committee on streets and alleys
TO confer with Mr.. Whitley and pre-
sent him with two propositions where
by relief may be Afforded him. Motion
adopted Adjourned.

No Fight, No Prayer.

A group of naval officers were imdulging
when one of them told the following yarn:
early ON the morning Of December "a,
1864, " he said "Admiral Porter signalled
to the fleet before Fort Fisher, Get under
way and follow me. The ship to which ]
belonged was assigned, in the programme,
to a position between two ironclads close
under the fort. We anticipated hot and
terrible work. The flagship led the way
and was approaching within range, when
Lieutenant Commander B, of my ship,
ordered all hands called to muster. The
brawny tars gathered aft on the quarter
deck, with the officers in their usual places,
and our commander began TO read from
the Prayer Before Battle 1t was a
solemn moment. None knew who or how
many among us might suddenly be ushered
into the presence of the God of battles.
Our commander read as though he felt it;
the whole ships company were awed and
hushed, and the throbbing OF the engines
and wash of waters along the side seemed
preternaturally loud. When about half
through signal was reported from the
flagstaff.
Come to anchor in your position
when 1t was read to our commander
a sudden revulson of feeling came over
him Throwing down the prayer book
upon the hatch, he exclaimed:
"Well, I'll be hanged if I'm going to
pray if we amt going to fight, Pipe
down.

The Force Of Habit.

Speaking of force of habit reminds me of
story that might bear repeating, says a
writer In most colleges it is the custom
for one member of the faculty, usually the
president, to have the supervision of all
absent and dilatory students, and to him
every such one must go to explain the
cause of his absence or tardiness. In one
of these was very kind and indulgent
guardian of the college discipline. Every
student knew well his stereotyped way of
saying, 'Well, I'll excuse you this time,
but don't let it happen again" Although
not in accordance with the rules. a mar.
ried man had been admitted to pursue the
studies Of the regular course. One day he
was absent; on the next, appearing with
his class in the doctors room, he exblain-
ed with great embarrassment that the ar
rival of an heir had been the cause of his
detention. Without looking up from his
table, and apparently without a thought
as to the nature of the excuse, so long as
there was one, the doctor graciously re-
marked: ''Well, I'll excuse you this time
but don't let it happen again"

An Important Experience.

The intelligent reader need not be told
that practically capital punishment is fall
ing into disuse because it is repugnant to
modern Christian sentiment and the better
civilization of the world and it is to be
noted that as it decreases there is no cor
responding increase in capital crime
There is truth in the remark of John
Bright, that if you do in the slightest de
gree deter from crime by the shocking
nature of the punishment, you so much,
nay, much more, weaken that other and
greater security which arises from the rev
erence with which human life is regarded.
Capital punishment was abolished in
Holland in 1870 Between 1861 and 1869
there were 10 murders; between 1871 and
1879 the number was only IL, despite an
increase of population In Finland there
has been no execution since 1924, and yet
murders are extremely rare; in Belgium
none since 1863, and yet the crime of muir
der has decreased. The majority of the
Swiss Cantons dispense with the death pom
atty, though no efficient substitute has
been provided. Between 1869 and 1878
out of 4S4 persons sentenced to death in
Prussia only one was executed. Portugal
and Roumania have abolished capital pun
ishment without evil results. There has
been no execution in Tuscany for 80 years.
In Austria, Sweden and Norway it has
been discontinued to n great extent, the
number of executions proportionately to
the death sentences being small.
