End discussion of the Budget with Committee
Report and Amendments. As will be remem-
bered, the Government had requested prior to
last meeting that the discussions Of certain
sweeping reforms proposed in the Committees
report should be kept separate from the dis
cussion of the Budget, and it was first debated
yesterday whether the Council should accede
to this request or not. After a rather long
debate it was decided not to accede to the
Governments request, but to introduce the
whole Of the Report along with the Budget.
His EXcellency the Vice Governor had pointed
out that there was no objection to such parts
of the report as referred to the proposed
Amendments being discussed, but that if other
more far-reaching proposals were to be laid
before the Council the Government could not
take part in the discussion of those matters
and therefore could not be represented at the
discussions, and on the Council coming TO the
conclusion above stated His Excellency left
the Council room.
The discussion of the Amendments was
then proceeded with. and with one or two
sight changes they were carried by a large
majority. The proposals which we have de-
scribed as proposals for sweeping reforms were
not brought forward individually for discus
sion but the whole report was put to the vote,
after the passing Of the amendments and was
carried. Subsequently it was adopted by the
same majority to send in a memo rial to the
Finance Minister based on the Committees
Report.
ANY comments which we may have to make
on these proceedings shall be reserved until
after the official account has been published.

Dear Sir!
Last night four soldiers of the Garrison
here, our noble protectors, stole a boat and
went out to one Of my large sailing deckboats
for the purpose of running away with it. Not
finding any rudder on the boat, which we had
taken the precaution of taking home, the
thieves after leaving their mark on board, cast
another boat adrift, stole part of the mainsheet
and left, going to Gallow's Bay, where they
stole a fishing boat and left the Island with.
This is the second time this year that soldiers
have stolen boats and abseonded from the
Island.
Don't you think Dear Mr.. Editor that some
thing could be done to stop this disgraceful
desertion, or is it time for our Government to
relieve us Of those defenders who seem to do
us more harm than good?
am, dear Sir,
Yours obliged

E. Svitzer's Draft in the Colonial Council.
(By X.)
by A.)

In commenting on the remarks from His
Excellency the acting Vice Governor on the
Draft, introduced by Mr.. Svitzer lately in
the Colonial Council, to prevent illegal use OF
firearms in the Island, | must at once say,
that have felt both pleasure and astonish-
ment at seeing His Excellency's remarks, as
they appear in the printed report and which
take for granted is correct 1T has afforded me
pleasure to find that although he was
warm and sharp enough in his attacks on the
Draft, still he has not found more really i'm
portant and grosser defects than those he has
enumerated; it has astonished me to see His
Excellency point out just those defects,
because they in themselves are loud complaints
of the ineficiency of the laws, the Observance
of which he has to control, if only for the time
being.
His Excellency says the Draft has put to-
gether many heterogeneous matters. I do not
think that-to use His Excllency's W ex-
pression-it is fortunate to use that term; for
the few enactments proposed have not unlike
qualities, nor are the matters with which they
deal they are not possessed Of differ ent char
acteristics; but they all tend towards the
grand object, viz: that Of guarding against
danger to human life and entertainments on
property, opportunities for which are offered
to an unlimited extent by the illegal use of
firearms, the illegal hunting on others grounds,
the destroying of other mems game, and the
vagrancy. facilitated thereby. And on the
whole, | do not believe that His Excellency
is justified in his objections to the contents of
the proposal, especially when we look at the
evidences afforded by other laws, notably also
those of the Mother Country.
As regards the count of heterogeneous mat.

IMPOSING MONUMENTS.

The Size of tho Stone Doesn't Indicate
tho Amount of Grief.
On n recent visit to one OF the great
cemeteries near this city hadas COM
pnnion al old, gray-heirca dealer in
tombstoncs, says Il writer in the New
York Telegram. In what might bc
termed the fashionable portion of the
cemetery / called his attention to the
impressive character of tho massive
monuments Of granite, with their
brightly polished sides, on which wore
inscribed tho names and ages of those
who lay beneath
That's right" said tho old man.
'The effect upon you is just what was
intended by those who paid for tho big
pieces of granite. They were meant to
be impressive; that is, to impress out
sidcrs with an idea of the wealth ond
social standing OF those by whom they
We're erected. Greatness of their grief,
did you say? Well, guess not You
see, am in the business and can SEQ
further into C. tombstone than most
people. have to sell those towering
obclisks of dull, gray stone, but I don't
believe in them. 1t Is merely npother
phase of human pride That these tall
monuments are not erected out of re-
gard for departed dear ones is evident
from the fact that not ono tender
thought or word of loving remembrance
Is carved on the broad surfaces Of those
great masses of stone.
For my part" snid tho veteran, 81
prefer the old time tombstone of forty
or fifty years ago-a slab Of marble up
right at the head of the grave, on which,
besides the name and age of the dead
one, is carved short summary of his
other good qualities while in life, with
line or two of affcctionate rcmcm-
brancc from those by whom tho stone
has been erected. 1t is the fashion
nowadays to mako fun of the quaint
verses found upon the old tombstones,
but to my mind the love which prompt
ed those qneerly constructed but ex-
pressive lines should shield them from
ridicule."

POINTS ON THE TELEPHONE.
Tho Girls at tho Central Ohlco Talk Into
1t Properly.


1t Properly.
Telephone users might acquire much
useful information If they would in
some leisure half hour visit the head
quarters of the company in Cortlandt
street. n standing invitation being open
to them to do so, says the New York
Times. The manner IN which the girls
talk into the instrument would certain
ly be revelation to the average sub
scriber. The transnitters arc suspend
cd from the ceiling By two wires, and
each is SO adjusted that it hangs on
level with the mouth of the young
woman who is seated at tho table. 1t
is natural to suppose that In q room
where at least one hundred and fifty
young women are talking over tele-
phones the chatter would make ordinary
conversation impossible. But such Is
not tho case. The buzz of conversation
is not SO loud by any means as that In
an ordinary Srnday-school room
There is certain amount of affection
in tho gentle way in which q girl
handles transmitter. Holding it
lightly in the fingers of ono hand, tho
elbow Of the arm resting on the table
in front Of her, the young woman brings
1t close to her lips, in many instances
permitting it to touch them lightly, and
speaks into IL with n subdued and gen.
tie voice rs cooingly musical Us ever
ticklcd the eager oer of ardent wooer.
When the user remembers that no
matter what difficulty he may expert,
cnce in understanding others on the
wire, he can always hear what Miss
Central" has to say, this explanation Of
how tho latter talks should be useful
not only to himself but to his tele-
phonic correspondents
Furthermore, users of tho instrument
should know that the vicious ring Of
the impatient subscriber has no terror
in 1t for the girl, for there are no bells
corresponding to those on the telephone
IN her vicinity. He may therefore bet
ter possess his soul in patience, us the
clattcr Of his bell deafcns only those In
his own Office. Tho 6rst half turn of
the crank on the box causes o small
disk to drop forward on the table Of
tho operator, exposing the number of
the calling subscriber. 1t makes no
moro noise in dropping than the tick Of
q clock, so that whatever impatienco
the subscriber may indulge in is alb

GRASS IN THE NILE.

Has Its Good Uses.

Very Difficult to Pass Through, But It
Has Its Good Uses.
The grass barriers through which DR..
Junker passed measured from one hun
dred feet to mile and quarter in
width, and frequently delayed him for
hours on stretches that he might other
wise have put behind him in few min
utes, writes n correspondent of Gold
thwaitc's Geographical Magazine. DR..
Junlker directs attention to tho fact,
however, that even grass barriers are
not an unmiXed evil, since ct high water
their thicllly matted substance serves
the purpose of filter in clarifying the
stream. So It happens that tho White
Nile is 1.-THE clear" while the Blue Nile,
in which the conditions are unfavornblc
TO the formation of grass barriers, is
''the dirty"
The grass Is swept into the stream at
high water from the swamps and stag
nant ponds along the banks. This grass
grows together in great masses which,
once floated into the stream, become
welded by nets of innumerablc roots
and smaller water plants TIL barrier
forms across the channel. The force OF
the current increases the compactness
of the barrier thus formed and brings It
new material from above. The barriers
differ greatly rs to compactness;
through some the Ismalia cut her way
slowly. merely with her prov. Others
were tramped down. cut and loosened
before her by natives. Others. 'lilse
felt" rs DR.. JunlScr says, were firm
against such simple devices. Wire cables
were made fast to each of these massive
barriers near its edge. and Mt the Same
time to the Prov of the Ismalia. The
steamship then backed water with oil
her power and thus tore loose md set
ndrift down stream great chunks Of the
barrier. TO thus clear river of large
barrier Is huge undertaking. Ernst
Marno. for instance, with four steam
ships and several hundred men, was
: busy from Septcm Der, 1870, till April,
1850, clearing his way In tho Dahrcl
Gebcl. The piercing of barrier by
steamship bound down stream is fre-
quently exceedingly perilous. ms the
looscned masses Of matted grass, in
stead of floating off behind the boat, are
often driven back against her stern till
she becomes as firmly Embedded in the
grass as she would be in an ice field.

THEY WON'T BE HERE.
The Bedford City Team Unable to Come
to Roanoke.

~N0 A'SAAViu Nlty lcum CnQOlG to Come
to Roanoke.
Manager Henry, of the baseball asso-
citation, received telegram from the
manager of the Bedford City club yes
terday, stating that they would be I'M
able to play in Roanoke Satur lay, as
they had previously agreed to do 1t is
possible that the Bedford club hasn't
the FARGO to como 10 Roanoke ar a IN after
having treated tho Roanoke bows so
badly as was done Saturday. Again, it
may be that the severe drubbing re-
ceived at the hands of the Roanoke
team has served to awaken them to the
part that they cannot hope to play win
ming ball against the Roanoke club
since tho latter has been strengthened.
At all events tho boys from Bedford
should prepare themselves for another
deteatwhcn they tackle the home team
again.
The Bedford Index, the leading nows-
paper at Bedford City, has repeatedly
called attention to the fact that Bedford
IS getting an unsavory reputation in the
matter OF roofing" and especially
courtesy, or rather discourtesy, and its
last issue prints tho following timely
remark:
The captain of the team should show
more courtesy to the visiting teams who
play here. lie doubtless docs not mean
harm, but he should keep cooler head
on him and remember that the bad i'm
prcssions formed will injure him in
more than one capacity.
After conscnting to wait ono hour
for West and Abbot Saturday, the Roam
okes were denied the privilege of stop.
ping the game in TINA to catch the :
o'clock train by the umpire and captain
OF the Bcdfords, in the faco of tho fact
that the managers of the two teams had
made such an arrangement. Giving tho
game to Bedford by a score of 0 to o was
the worst sort of farce, and could not
stand anywhere"
Captain Howison, OF the Bedfords,
makes excuse for his manner of playing
by saying that it is baseball" 1t NAV
be; possibly tho kind in which a rubber
ball and single is used, but in game
OF modern ball all such conduct is repre-
hensible and comes under the head of
dirty ball playing. Captain Howison,
college professor, has much to learn in
regard to baseball, and he should re-
member that a man can show his gentle
manly qualities on tho ball field us we'll
as in the drawing room.
