They Will Inspect.

The mayor and sewer committee
have extended the press and public an
invitation to meet at the mouth Of
the sewer this evening at 4 O'Clock
and inspect the system, which will
be completed by that time. The
main sewer is five feet in diameter
and can be gone through with very
trouble, so the committee says, and
several people have expressed the in
tention of taking the trip. The
average newspaper reporter would
rather take the committees word for
the condition of the system than risk
himself under the ground with them
after all that has passed OF late. We
might be left in the thing.

the Methodists.

Quarterly Conference for the
Clai ksville station was held last
night, Rev. w. r. PEBBLES presiding.
There was a full attendance Of the
official members, and the various re-
ports show that the church is in a
healthy condition. The salaries of
the preacher in charge, and the pre-
siding elder, have been paid. At
least the financial stewart has money
in his hands to pay every cent due
them, and he will do 50 when they
make run on him. Conference COL
lections show small deficit, but it
will be made up before the meeting
of the Annual Conference, and CIarks-
vile station, will as usual, show
square account.
The report of the Sunday
school superintendent for the
station show that there are A
teachers and officers and over 400
pupils in regular attendance at the
two schools. The Sunday-schOol in
South GAINESVILLE h s been but re-
Gently organized, but it is in pros
porous condition.

ference of this year, the election OF

John d. Moore was chosen Sunday
school superintendent for the Madi-
son street Methodist church, while
r. E. McCulloch was elected super
intendent for South GAINESVILLE.
The Annual Conference of the M.
+. Church, South, convenes at Nash
vile next Wednesday morning,
Rev w. r.. PEBBLES was seen by re,
porter this morning and questioned
in regard to the work on the district
for the past year. He replied that
he thought it would show an increase
over last year in every way.
When the financial crisis came on
the country money was very scarce
with farmers, and it was feared that
the effects of this would be felt in
church financial matters. Indeed, it
was felt for awhile, but it has blown
over, and the financial report of the
district will be satisfactory.

1T Is A WISE MAN

Prom the Detroit Free Press.
A citizen Of Detroit, who has resided here
for nearly twenty years, and who has for the
past dozen years run a small car penter shop
on his own hook, got a check on one Of the
banks the other day and stepped in TO have it
cashed.

cashier, as he handed back the paper.

Possibly you are, but you'll have to bring

Standing on the steps Of the bank he scanned
the faces OF the passers-by, and. TO his own
great surprise, it was ten minutes before he
saw the phiz OF friend. The two entered the
oank; and the latter said TO the cashier:

But. who are YOU"
TIN Stephen Dash"
Never heard of You. He must bring some
one whom | know is responsible"

Mr.. Blank brought in three other, men each

ildence. but came out of the little end of the
norm norm when asked the usual questions. At
length he remembered a man to whom he sold
piece OF property four years ago and lac

A Snow Storm In His Hat.

From the Youths Companion.
The same causes which produce fall Of snow
in the open air-namely, a subsection of a moist
atmosphere to temperature cold enough to
crystalline the drops of moisture which are
formed-may, of course, take place under arti-
fetal conditions.
La Nature, a French journal Of science. re-
lates that gentleman who was walking rapidly
along the street on a cold. fair day and had, by
violent exercise, brought himself into cdndi-
ton of profuse perspiration, took off his tall
hat in saluting friend.
As he did so no was astonished to feel what
was apparently slight fall of snow upon his
head. Upon passing his hand over his head he
found several unmistakable fakes of snow
there.
1t is supposed that the freezing outer air
condensed the moist warm air within the gen.
tleman's tall hat suddenly that veritable
snow storm of miniature proportions was
produced upon his head
A similar incident is related by the same
journal During the past winter, on a very
cold, clear night, an evening party was given
in salon in Stockholm, Sweden. Many people
were gathered together in a single room and it
became warm in the course of the evening
that several ladies complained of feeling i'll.
An attempt was then made TO raise window,
but the sashes had been frozen in their places
and ii was impossible to move them.
In this situation, as it was absolutely neces-
sary that air should be admitted. a pane of
glass was smashed out. A cold current at once
rushed in. and ut the same instant fakes of
snow were seen to fall to the floor in all
parts of the room.
The entrance of q frosty current into an at
mosphere which was saturated with moisture
had produced a snowfall indoors.

Americas First Strike.

From the San Francisco Call.
do you know that this government had
been in existence over fifty years before such
a thing as strike was known among the labor
ing peopleI" asked Frank Grassner Of Cincin-
natl, as he leaned thoughtfully against
the cigar stand at the Occidental
yesterday. ''Yes, sir, fifty years,
and II was reserved for Ohio to be the scene of
the first revolt. 1t was in 1910, in June, think,
that the employees of Wolf d Co.'S foundry in
Cincinnati struck for an increase in pay, and in
few days it spread as to include all the
iron workers of the city. For more than a
month both sides held out, and at the
end of that time the laborers succeeded
in securing money with which to start CO.
operative foundry. They chose a business
manager and a superintendent from among
their own number, and started out with a
great BOOM At the end of three years they
went to the wall, and after everything was
cleaned up they were still 5000 behind.
As each of the incorporators personally

Of the concern. without limitation as to time,

leave the state in order to prevent their savings
from being seized to satisfy their creditors. So

our feet is the spot on which the Aztecs sacr-
feed their victims and upon the great altar.
which, in the days of Montezuma, Law
only fifty feet below where we are
sitting, $4,000 slaves were sacrificed in a
single year. In that long low building
there in front of US YOU NAV see the wonder
a
when the sharp obsidian knife was plunged
into their vitals. and there is the great stone
pot which was used to catch their blood as il
flowed down the trench from the altar. II was
on that altar that Montezuma stood with Cortes
when he took him up here to show him his fair
city, and the Mexico of the Aztecs of 800 odd
years ago covered very much the same ground
as does the Mexico of today.
