necessary, as l 90 not think it can be, in
any case for United States officer to ap-

from violence in the exercise of his duties,
the situation at Cedar KEYS did
not suggest or encourage such appeal II

WASHINGTON, June 6th.-The twenty.one
Republican members from the Southern
States met Wednesday night after the party
caucus, in the rooms of Mr.. Bowden of Vir.
ginia. They decided to act as unit in
calling up several measures of vital i'm.
portance to them and their section. Among
these were the war claims BILL and an edu.

Blair bill. They also discussed the subject

termination to antagonize every bill which
bears on its face the stamp of sectionalism.

What is a Good Book +?

A good book is one that interests you.
One in which the bright rather than
the dark side Of life is shown.
One that makes you see how mean is
the small vices of life and how despicable
are the great sins.
One that glorifes virtue in woman and
honor in man.
One in which the good are rewarded and
the wicked are made to suffer-suffering,
by the by, that may be of the conscience
or in a more material way, reward given
either on earth, or promise for the future.
One which conyinces you that this
world is filled with good men and good
women.
One that breathes forth the goodness of
Creator, and respects his all governing
laws.
One that makes you feel you are meet
ing real people-people who elevate your
thoughts as you associate with them.
a good book is one that you remember
with pleasure, that when the dull hours
come you can think OF with interest and
feel that there are people with whom you
have most interesting acquaintance, who
are yet only characters of the imagina-
tion.
A good book is one that tells, in good
English. the story it has to; sees no me-
cessity for using foreign words, and does
not quote from the Arabic or the Sanscrit,
as if the author had written it with an
Encyclopedias Britannica" beside him.
A good book is the one that we want
when weary of the people of the world
that we can read out aloud and discuss;
that we can hand to our daughters that ii
may give them pleasure, and which will
only be stepping-stone on the road Of
taste, not only to better and nobler books
but better and nobler life.
That is good book-and, my friends
there are hundreds OF them.-Ladies' HON,

Charges of Fraud in Building the San
Francisco City Hall Walls.
SAN Francisco, June 6th.-There is
much excitement over charges made by a
bricklayer named George r. Hanks that in
many places the walls of the Larkin-street
wing of the new City Hall are mere shells.
The contracts and specifications call for
four feet of solid masonry in these walls of
bonded brick. Mayor Pond, guided by
Hanks, has tested the walls in several
places, and it is charged has found-it is
not known to what eXtent-that sections of
the walls are but two bricks thick on the
exterior, and that between these shells is a
filling of mortar, spent lime, sand, broken
brick and masonry refuse. Some of these
walls were to sustain fifteen-ton iron grid
ers, and on some of these girders cross
brick walls were to rest.
1t is said the Mayor is satisfied the walls
will have, in large part, to be pulled down
and rebuilt. The fraud, if carried out,
would have benefited the contractors about
$4,000 A quarrel between the bosses and
workmen is said to have brought about the
revelation.
The City Hall Commissioners met to-
day when Hanks made a statement sus-
tanning his charges. The contractors are
Mccarthy, Riddell & McCann. Hanks
says he protested to Mccarthy about the
fraud, but the contractor replied, "--
it, no one will know anything about it 100
years from now
The contractors, by one of the firm, ap-
peared before the Commission and said
they were ready tor an investigation.
Hanks testified that he would not have
complained of the fraud if the contractors
had not Laid him off," Superintendent
Boyd said he had watched the building of
the walls, but it was possible for the con-
tractors to have hoodwinked him. The
Mayor said that was true, unless watch
man was put behind every bricklayer.
Boyd said that the holes found could be re-
paired in three hours time. The Com
mission said, however, it wanted to know
how far the hollow places extended.
The contractors brought in their brick
layers to testify, and one Fitzgerald,
charged by Hanks with the crooked work,
angrily denied it, and charged it onto
Hanks, but the latter stuck to his story.
There was noisy time between Hanks
and the workmen, until the Mayor had to
enforce order. 1t was then resolved to ap-
point committee of experts to examine
the walls.
