A CLERICAL ERROR.
1t Raises Mr.. Hellman's Taxes Hun
dred Thousand Dollars.


The council, sitting as board Of
equalization, is prepared to hear peti-
tions from property owners who feel
themselves aggrieved by the assessors
estimate of their indebtedness to the
city. The council was prepared to listen
to petitions yesterday, but the kickers
were not numerous, and the councilmen
passed the day in comparative peace and
quietness. Mr.. Hellman, to be sure, ap-
peared and wanted his assessment re-
duced hundred thousand dol
lars or 30, but that was compara-
lively trifing affair due to a clerical
error, and the reduction was Of course
made.
Today the council will hear petitions
in the morning and hold an adjourned
session at O'Clock in the afternoon.
Tomorrow the board of equalization
work will go gaily forward again.

7. When he parts with lady, after

s. In the elevator, where there are La.

perfect propriety. Nine out of every
ten do, with good and sufficient reason.
Elevators are draughty places and are
public conveyances, though within
doors. To raise the hat when lady
enters is becoming courtesy, but this is
very different from standing with the
hat off while an elevator mounts to the
thirteenth floor. A hat when not on
the head is in the way in an elevator.

feel that they may unwittingly spoil a
good hat by an unwary turn that knocks

Single Handed an Aged Fencing-Master
Whips Three Men.
An actor told a story the other eve
ming, says the New York Tribune, about
a fencing-master in London who had
two sons. Both of them, like the father,
were physical giants. Who was the
strongest and best fighter was disputed
question until burglar got into the
house one night. One Of the sons,
opening the front door with latch-key
late at night. found a robher in the hall
They Immediately clinched. The other
brother, hearing the noise, rushed
downstairs. and not being able in the
dark to distinguish q burglar from a
worthy and honest citizen of London,
proceeded to pound both men whom he
ran against. Meanwhile brother No. 1,
thinking there were two burglars in the
house, turned half of his attention to
the new enemy, and the fight began
desperately. The father, awakened by
the uproar, rushed down stairs with a
heavy walking stick. Then the fight
was something to admire, but to- avoid.
When it was all over and the gas was
lighted by the aged fencing-master, it
was discovered that he had whipped not
only the burglar but his two sons.
When this story was told an English
man was one of the party. NWen," he
said, 81 never before heard of burg

UNIQUE EXPERIMENT.
a Well to BE Sunk as Far as Human
Skill Can Penetrate,


An eight-inch well which is being
sunk near this city, says Wheeling,
w. Va, special, by the Wheeler I'm
provement Company in a search for oil
or gas has reached, after several months
of boring, a depth of 400 feet Both
oil and gas have been struck throughout
in paying quantities. 1t has gone
through several thick veins of coal and
has traversed layers of gold quartz, iron
and numerous other minerals.
Prof. S. G.. White, state geologist,
who has watched the drilling closely,
has succeeded in getting the govern
ment interested in it. The result is that
after the well has been sunk to the
depth of one mile the government will
take up the work and, under the direc-
ton of two expert officers of the geolog-
ical survey, drill into the earth as far as
human skill can penetrate.
The temperature and magnetic con-
ditions will be observed as far as posi-
BILE, and by means of an instrument con-
structed for the purpose a complete
record of the drilling and all discoveries
made will be kept. This record will be
placed in the Geological Surveys
exhibit at the Worlds Fair and after
wards preserved at Washington. Prof.
White and the government officers say
this will be one of the most novel and
important exhibits at the Fair, and will
attract the attention of the scientists of
the world

AS WE WANI EN-. YOU KNOW.

If we only had th1n~s as we want EN-, you know,
The world wouldn't go so confoundedly slow;
For there's many a skip,
And there's many slip,
And there's many a flip,
And rip,
And dip,
That makes us quite weary and bleary and blue,
Because we can't do as we'd all like TO do.
If we had preachers no wouldn go prosy,
If we only had deacons who wouldn't grow

If lawyers weren't fly,
If drinkers weren't dry,
If folles wouldn die
BY and by
We'd all try
Because we'd have things want EN-. you
know.

round,
If only hard sense could be made of more
sound,
If we had lots of cash.
And similar trash
H-without being rash
We could mash,
Like flash,
Any daughter of Eve when we cared to do so,
Then we'd sorter have things we want en-
you know.
But when we get down to mere business base
We find that seem to have missed a fat place.
The outlook is murk,
And we sigh like Turk,
AS there's no chance to shlrk,
Or to Turk,
While we work
For our grub by the sweat of our brow here be-
low,
Cause things isn't just as we want EN-, you

ON THE ROAD.
Where it is More Than Ever Necessary to
.sMind Your Manners

.sMind Your Manners
Heaven deliver us, says the New York
Ledger, from the nervous, worrysome,
fussy traveller. The one who wants to
know how far it is to his or her jour
ney's end; who opens windows, or
shuts them, or fancies there is coal
smoke that should be let out, or fresh
air that should be let in; or who fears
the train may run off the track or that
there may be an accident of some sort !;
or that the train may not arrive in time J;
or that the expected friends may not be
at the station, or what not.
There should be a special car for such
inharmonlOus spirits; some place where
they could be closed in and kept from
harm to themselves and others. 1t is
this class Of persons who want to help
the conductor and the engineer and the
trainmen to run the train, and who
wouldn't mind managing (D-heaven
save the mark-the entire business of
the railroad. 1t is, however, curious
fact that such people never SEEM to
have made a brilliant success of their
own affairs as would warrant corpora
ton in turning over its management to
them.
1t is remarkable how little interest
one takes in the concerns of others after
having made life success. Who ever
saw a man of acknowledged ability, ONE
who had really achieved something,
fdgeting and worrying and nagging be-
cause some ones affairs were not pro
crossing satisfactorily -that is, to out
siders like himself.
Never lose sight of the fact that the
more comprehensive the mind Of a
man or woman the less he or she will
concern himself or herself with the de
tails of other peoples management.
In travelling, Of all things, there is
need for quiet, settled, mind-your-
own business and let others mind
theirs spirit The disconnected, mag
gy' individual can set whole carful of
well-disposed persons. on needles
Quiet manners, inconspicuous dress and
unobtrusiye good-nature are divine
graces in travelling companion, and do
more to render journeying pleasant

LONG AND SHORT OFT
How Heat and Cold Affect the Length OF
Steel Rails.

Steel Rails.
This, from the Philadelphia Record,
does not read like flake" and is
probably susceptible of proof 1t is a
curious fact, says the Record, but one
which need make no passenger at all
nervous. that the tracks of the
Pennsylvania Railroad between Phila-
delphia and Pittsburg are more than
oEe-fifth of mile, or ,134 feet to be
exact, shorter on an extremely cold
day in winter than on hot day such as
Monday 1t has been found that a
steel rail expands or contracts one part
in each las, 900 parts with every change
of degree in temperature, and on the
1853 miles from Philadelphia to Pittsburg
this amounts to twelve feet six inches
for every degree. The difference in the
length of the rails on 90 degree day in
August and zero day in winter is, there
fore, over | 100 feet. The extremes OF
temperature in Pennsylvania are really
much greater than these, and doubtless,
therefore, the difference in the length
of the rails is even more striking. This
contraction and expansion is taken Up

MUNICIPAL MUSIC.
Brass Band Entertainment at the City
Expense.

Brass Band Entertainment at the City's
Expense.
An earnest effort is being made in
New York to establish municipal band
on the plan Of the Marine Band at
Washington. 1t is felt that in the sum-
mer the free concerts which such band
could give in the various parks and the
music they would supply to enliven
municipal parades would amply repay
it's cost. One of the most enthusiastic
supporters Of the idea is Bandmaster
Cappa, of the famous Seventh Regiment
organization, who thinks that with a
good leader at the head of it,
one skilled in all the legitimate
styles of music, and munic-
ipal board capable of understanding
what band ought to be, the idea could
be made big success. He calls atten-
in this country have to dig-or blow
for themselves, so to speak, they are on
the whole superior to the government
supported bands of Europe. With mu-
nicipal help he evidently believes our
superiority in this respect would be-
come even more prominent. The pro-
posal of city bands is by no means new,
but it has heretofore been found that
private enterprise has in most cases
been sufficient to do away with the
need Of municipal aid It is generally
considered unfair among musicians,
though, that private bands should be
expected to give public concerts tor
nothing. This is what many American
cities want them to do, however
