This large sum In addition to the regular run
ming expenses of the city has been paid on a 90
cent levy, without running the city in debt, ex-
cept the $25 900 temporary loan, which can be
paid when due in April. This can be paid along
with the running expenses from January to that
date. That fact cOnvinces your committee that
with the increased assessment in values, as
shown by the tax duplicate for 1889 and due
Jan. 1, 1890, the 9O-cent levy Is ample TO meet
all necessary requirements Of the city. and that
no effort should be made to ~legislate for a high
er rate of taxation.
Inc Barrett Dill Will also
be a great help to enable the city to Improve the
streets in a liberal and substantial manner. We
believe IL to be a good law. IL II Is sound and its
purposes can be legally carried out. We recon-
mend that the city attorney be directed to make
q test case before the courts as soon as possible,
and before any expensive streetimprOvement
contracts are let under 1t, as If 1t should not be
sustained by the courts it might financially Grip
pie the city. The city yet owns, Of the Tomlin-
son estate, property on Illinois street valued at
$4,000, and some on Ohio street valued at 81.

Bacilll ON q Bald Head.

Saymonne claims to have isolated a
bacillus, called by him "bacillus GRIN.
ivorax," which is the cause Of alopeoia.
1t Is, he says, found only on the scalp OF
man, other hirsute parts of the body and
also the fur of animals being free from
it.. The bacilH invade the hair follicles
and make the hair very brittle SO that
they break off to the skin. Then the
roots themselves are attacked. If the
microbes can be destroyed early in the
disease, the vitality of the hair may be
preserved, but after the follicles are in.
vaded and all their structures injured
the badness Is incurable. The follow.
ing is DR.. Saymonne's remedy to prevent
badness: Ten parts crude cod-liver oil,
ten parts of the expressed juice OF
onions, and five parts of mucilage, the
yelk of an egg, are thoroughly shaken
together and the mixture applied to the
scalp, and we'll rubbed in, once week.
This, he asserts, will certainly bring
back the hair If the roots are not already
destroyed, but the application of the
remedy must be very distressing to the
patients friends and neighbors--Med.

A German Cooks Revenge.

A very amusing case has just been de.

appears that cook, no longer quite

younger than she. On Sundays, and oc-
casionally during the week, the gallant
lover was in the habit of taking his lady
for extended promenades and visits to
restaurants, where the latter always
paid the expenses. She also provided
him regularly with his snpper. Pres

Millicent stood and looked at them,
with sudden tears yelling up into her
eyes. They turned and saw her, just as
Jacob came up, somewhat confused at
the new situation.
Mrs. Fuller spoke first. sWhy, Mil:
Acent, is Mr.. Raus here? thought he
had gone"
Why, yes, Jacob, we thought you had
gone" said Mr.. Fuller, with an unex-
pected sympathy in his heart for his old
friends son, awakened by Mrs. Fuller's
treating him as stranger in calling him
Mr.. Raus. The good gentleman had felt

peared to him great impertinence that
he should propose to take his daughter
50 far away. -.. - .1s
Jacob stood silent. Millicent took her
father's hand, and, throwing one arm
around his neck, kissed him. This ac-
ton, which conveyed nothing but his
daughters affection for himself to the
old gentleman's mind, explained the
whole situation to Mrs. Fuller, who was
not unprepared when her daughter, turn
Ing to her, clasped her in her arms and
said:
Eyes, dear mamma, Jacob is here;
and when he goes I 60 with him. I
have promised to be his wife, and you,
who know what it is, will be the last Of
ell to deny me that oompanionship
which makes you forget even the part
ing from your children"
Jacob was moro surprised than any
one. He never knew exactly how 1t had
come about; he only knew that he must
have been very much improved by mar
riage, or his wife grown very lenient;
for no man ever suffered less from fault
finding than he, and the West was to
him Q wilderness that blossomed like

It is difficult to understood why .uo
Spaniards, proud, sensitive people,

TO cast charm over them. Her total
lack Of reticence appealed to them; they

with remorse she had wronged them. II

came round, this woman, who, Tor the
other dfty-one weeks had been outrag-
irg every law, human and divine,
knseled In church for the hour together,
and with loud sobs and groans, pro-
claimed her sorrow fur the past, her res

Her subjects, seeing her SORROW, sor-

rived, were az convinced as she was that
q new era in her life was at hand. The
Maundy Thursday ceremony never failed
to win for her hearty adherepts.
She washed the feet Of the beggars
with such manifest zeal; spoke to
them such kindly, loving words; served
them with food as if she thought It q
privilege to do so, and, at the close of
the feast, cleared the table with dex.
terity that showed her heart was In her
work. Her splendid robes-she always
wore full court dress upon these ooca-
sions- seemed to enhance the touching
humility Of her attitude, and, although
the free-thinking part of the community
rcoffed at what they called the Popish
mummery Of the whole affair, that was
not the feeling with which the bulk of
the population regarded it. One year,
while she was serving at table, d.a-
mond fell from her head-dress on to the
plate of one Of the beggars. A dozen
hands were stretched out to restore the
jewel, but the Queen motioned to the
man to keep 1t, remarking simply: ut

nature to say mo" to beggar; while
the one point upon which she made q
firm stand against her Ministers was in
insisting upon her right to exercise
mercy, and the hardest struggle she
ever had with them was apropos of a
pardon granted at the request of Restori.
A Queen has many chances Of doing
little gracious acts, and Isabella never
failed to seize each one as it came in her
way; not, however, for the sake of win.

she showed the other day, is still I'm.

USES OF COTON-SEED.
Its History Paralleled Only by That al
Crude Petroleum.

Its History Paralleled Only by That a
Crude Petroleum.
The history of cotton-seed is in itself
interesting, and marks an age of won.
derful progress. For seventy years the
seed was despised as nuisance, and
burned and dumped as garbage. Then
it was discovered to be the very food for
which the soil was hungering, and re-
luctantly admitted to the rank of utili-
ties, and began to be treated with re-
spect.
Cotton-seed was next found to be M
tritive food for beasts; and then this
formerly despised product was dis.
covered to hold thirty-hve gallons OF
pure oil to the ton, worth, in its crude
state, fourteen dollars ton, which
amounted to forty million dollars for
the whole crop Of seed. The refined oil
Is now worth one dollar gallon.
But q new wonder was yet to come.
Experience showed that the ton of cot.
ton-seed was better fertilizer and q
better stock food after it had been
robbed of its thirty-hve gallons of oil
that it was before; that the hulls Of the
seeds made the best of fuel for feeding
the oil-min engine; that the ashes OF
the hulls had the highest commercial
value as potash, and that the "refuse"
of the whole made the best and purest
soap stock, to carry to the toilet the per
fumes of the best manufacturers.
The history of cotton-seed has, per.
haps, been para!leled by that of petrol
cum, which, in its crude state, ill-look.
ing and bad-smelling, has proved mine
of wealth in the wonderful substances
that have been produced from it.

PULLERS-lN AND PRlcERS.
Men and Women Who Mako Living In .
Peculiar Way.


The ''puller-in" is one of the species
of New Yorker whom age does not
Wither nor custom stale. Just as orc or
coal is found to exist in beds that often
follow narrow and well-defined lines, go
the New York puller-in is observed TO
exist in reasonably straight, very mar
row and not over-lengthy seam or streak
at the Five Points, following
along Baxter street, turning at Park
row, and losing itself or terminating at
the end of the first block in Division
street. The superficial signs that denote
the existence Of this peculiar product
are secondhand clothing and brand new
at popular prices. The pulless
in of Baxter street and Park row are the
male proprietors and clerks Of the sec
ond-hand clothing stores, and their
the dealers in the very
cheapest frst-hand clothing. The pull
ers-in of the millinery stores are all
women or girls A pul1er-in is of
course, a person who brings customers
to a. store by strength Of arms,
a commercial wrestler, a physical spell
binder. There are those who assert that
although the pullers-in are never miss
ing from the sidewalks of the Giokle-
shaped route along Division, old Chat
ham and Baxter streets, It Is none the
less true that they now use no other
force than that Of seductive tone and
argument to engender trade. Others
assert that pulling-in Is only moro cdr
cumspectly carried on than in those days
Of yore when it was all q poor mans
clothes were worth to attempt to nee
himself from these octopus-ike sales
men. There is good reason for all fair
efforts to lull the public back to feel
ing of security In this respect, for not
long ago the popular complaints were so
loud, and the fights between dealers for
the capture OF citizens were 50 energetic,
that the lively calling fell into disre-
pute in its own seat and stronghold.
Whatever the state Of the profession
may be to-day, the athletic clerks still
stand or walk before their stores, and
the people still call them pullers-in.
Quite as peculiar, in totally different
way, are the clever men and women who
are known as ''prioers, "and who are en-
ployed by the proprietors Of the great
shopping stores to learn the prices at
which their competitors are Offering
goods. These ''pricers" must be- very
talented, experienced and judicious
specialists. They must be able to judge
Of the quality and brand Of an article,
as well as to discover It's selling price.
They must hide their business from
those they spy upon as carefully and as
ingeniously as detective works among
criminals. They must pretend 10 be
shoppers, messengers from invalids
wanting samples, eccentric ladies
who scarcely know what they want,
and 50 ask about many things They
must in some cases work in one great
store and draw salaries nom two, the
second salary being their pay for &C.
quainting . rival with their employers
