what the people are Saying.

| what the PEOPLE are Saying.
The people are becoming indignant
over the way the city charter Is being
tinkered with.
The charter is the peoples property; 1t
IL intended to govern the city council and
the idea that this same city council can
tinker it up to suit themselves, is simply
outrageous.
The people must prepare themselves to
meet this question before the leRiSla-
ture.
The bond matter is still anxiously dis
cussed by the people. There is an i'm
preston that the entire issue OF $3.50, 600 IL
illegal. 1t perhaps not quite so bad as
this.
Ten thousand sidewalk bonds are all
right land $3.50, 900 issue voted on, are all
right, except the ten per cent sinking
fund. But the $4,000 funding bonds
have been issued wivhout authOri y, there
is no provision for. funding bonds" either
in the old or amended charter. The S5O,-
600 improvement bonds issued during the
same year as the $780, 900 loan voted on, Is
an over issue, because the charter dis
tinctly provides that to borrow more
than $4,000 the entire amount must be
submitted to vote Of the property tax
payers.
No doubt this bond mystery will be
cleared up by Mr.. Callaghan In his own
good time; but the people are none the

stands.
When Mayor Callaghan returned from
his northern trip in October last, he made
verbal report that he had visited Mr..
Chased the bonds o, out vi" had na refpsed
to take them: that N. w. Harris
urer Herff's fare to New York, where he,
the mayor, accompanied by Mr.. Herff and
a notary. made tender to ranOther
party who had agreed to take some of the
bonds from N. w. Harris; this party re-
fused to take them. When the mayor
had recourse to Mr.. Breckenridge'scor
Pyne, the president agreeing to take the
bonds. Mr.. Callaghan reported verbally,
after this, that he had sold some $235, 600
Of the bonds, but up to this good day the
people know nothing about the trans
action.
Now there is rumor that the
bonds were never sold, but were
pawned for certain advance made
to Mayor Callagbsn.
These bonds should have been brought
back, and il there was question about
the legality Of any part OF the issue the
matter should have been reported.
The bonds should be cancelled and a
new issue made, so as to get rid of the 10
per cent. sinking fund business. II they
are to be sold, let them be re-advertised
and sold to the highest and best bidder,
not on option to some bond Spectator.

groom.
Yesterday afternoon the LIGHT pub
lished that Mr.. j. r. Belsha and Miss
Ada Gastan would be married at O'Clock
in the afternoon at the residence of her
brother on Elm street. The brother and
expectant groom did secure license in
the forenoon from the county clerk for
that purpo and engaged minister to
perform the ceremony.
There seems to have been slight mis-
understanding, no Rever, somewhere, or
the lady changed her mind, as she left
the house about an hour before the cere-
mony was to take place and, meeting
Thos. j. Shannon, q we'll known San An
tonian, they repaired to the court house,
secured another marriage license, and
were united by County Judge McAllister
In short order. A few moments after they
had departed the brother hastily arrived,
learned the truth of the matter and left,
very much discounted.

The Rawlings bill repeating the law
which exempts finished manufactured
products from taxation passed the Lower
House of the legislature with whirl
last week. The bill was strongly urged
by the Farmers Alliance when in ses-
sion at Gallon. 1t has been a favored
measure with the Alliance for the past
year and farmers have been loud in
their complaints against the law which
give as they claimed great advantage
10 the manufactures as against other
lax payers. The present law exempts
from taxation all furnished manufactures
that have been in stock for one year or
less. As it stands amended the manu-.
tacturer will have TO pay on the average
monthly value of the raw materials he
nses and also on the average value OF
his furnished wares. This makes
double tax. AFor this reason this bill is
considered unconstitutional by many
prominent lawyers. 1t may be altered
in passing the, Senate or it may for the
same reason fail OF passage in the Senate
altogether.

The Pay of School Officers.

Somebody appears to be of the opinion
that boards of education in Ohio should
be paid S2 per member for each regular
meeting attended. To that end bill
has been introduced at the present leg
islative session. A law to that effect
would probably ensure more regular
meetings and prompt attendance, but it
would not follow that better work would
be prime result. There does not, at
least, appear to be an outcry demanding
it should be made salaried or paid
Office, either by the people at large or
the members of the boards in particular.
OF the latter, few if any refuse the Office,
or resign, because it is not attended with
money compensation. 1t is true that
gentlemen have to give time and atten-
tion to some important public duties,
but it can be said, that as rule there
are to be found everywhere in Ohio men
sufficiently interested in the public
schools and the cause Of popular educa-
tion, that they are willing to make per-
zonal sacrifices, in the matter Of time
and work, in the interest Of schools in
their respective localities. Besides, it is
doubtful, were the Office a paid one, if

AN EXTRAORDINARY RACE.
The Plan by Which a Pig Could He Made
to Outrun q Horse.

The Plan by whic, Pig Could He Made
to Outrun . Horse.
"The queerest race / ever heard Of"
said Major Wetherill in the Colonnade
TO Philadelphia Press reporter, twas
proposed at Devon inn few years ago
by one of the guests, an Italian noble
man, Count Montglas- A crowd Of us
were talking about horses one day on
the veranda, and Montglas offered to
wager that he could successfully run
fany active pig In Chester County against
ANY horse there, and beat the horse,
over twenty-five yards course. As
was natural, we roarcd at the idea, but
the Count persisted that he could do so,
and then we supposed there was some
catch in the wager and nobody took It.
"After awhile Montglas and were
left alone on the veranda, and he told
and explained how it was that pig
could outrun horse over twenty-five
yards. OF course It takes horse long
time to get under way, and II was on
this alone that the Count placed his
faith. He would have the course de-
cided upon, and over It would scatter
line Of corn, at the end placing big,
double handful Then he would release
the pig, and the latter would start
along, eating the corn as he went, nm
til reaching the end, where he would
find the double handful Later on that
day the process would be repeated and
the pig would move hurriedly, eat along
the scattered kernels, in an endeavor to
reach the pile, twenty-five yards away.
The next day considerably less corn
would be scattered over the course,
but the double handful would still be
placed at the end Within week only
very few grains would mark the line
to the capital prize, and on being re-
leased the pig would start off at break
neck speed III his greediness to get the
latter. "Well," continued the Major,
''on the day Of the race there would be
no corn at all scattered on the course,
but piggy would be squirming and
'wriggling to get of toward the pile.
When all would be ready the word
Cor would be given; the pig would be
freed, and away he'd start as If shot
from cannon. By the time the horse
.could get fairly under way the pig
would be half over the course, Just
tearing himself almost apart to reach
that handful Of grain. You see, Mont
glas didn't count on the pigs legs, but
on his annette"

INDIAN WOOD-WORKERS.
The Flint and Glass Tools OF the Aztec
Carpenters.

The Flint and Glass Tools OF the Aztec
Carpenters.
aboriginal carpentry" says II. F.
Mcleod, Of the Smithsonian Institute,
"was the chief trade Of our predecessors
on this continent. The Indians and the
mound builders had very good idea Of
wood working. You will see even now
some very pretty joining done by Sioux
Indians. Their tent poles make flt
which many white carpenter would
not like to try to do better.
1.-THE best carpenters, of course, were
the Aztecs, who had arrived ut quite q
high stage Of art, and whose tools, al
though they knew nothing Of steel, are
really excellent. We have few of their
tools at the Smithsonian. but the best
collection is, of course, in the City of
Mexico. The material used was almost
wholly glass, especially for the finer
parts Of their wood cutting. To chop
trees they used flint axes, and for rough
hewing out of logs the same, but when
it came to the accurate fitting in Of the
hewn timber, they handled glass knives,
chiscls and saws very deftly and with
beautiful results. There is a ceaba
wood post in Washington with hero
glyphics and faces cut upon it, all with
glass. You can see bits of the original
chisel still sticking in corner of the
wood, where it broke off three centuries
ago'under the hand of the workman.
The Aztecs knew how to make a very
good and manageable glass, and their
best cutting blades, swords, daggers
and spears, saws, chisels and axes were
made Of it. When the edge dulled they
broke it from the end instead Of sharpen
ing it, and got new cutting line.
'You can see great deal of aborigi-
nal carpentry still in use among the
Moqui Indians of the United States. OF
course they use our tools now, but
they follow out their old patterns.
They know how to make ladders, and
they swing their doors on hinges from
the top, and they know how to mortise
timbers, knew how long before Column
bus landed in America. OF course they
use our tools differently from our way.
The chisel they push rather than ham
mer, work the board up and down on
fixed saw, rather than the saw on the
board, and withal they get -creditable
results The frame work in the Pueblos
is quite as honest as any thing we have
in America

An Election Bill.

A bill has been introduced into the
Legislature by Senator Adams which
aims body blow at very prominent
feature OF our election contests. 1t pro-
Yides that no candidate shall give or
promise to give any money or incur any
expense or obligation in connection with
his candidacy excepting such as are
provided for in the bill. A candidate
may pay to the treasurer of the political
organization to which he belongs not to
exceed per cent. OF the salary belong.
ing to the Office for W hich he is candi-
date. The treasurer shall keep an exact
amount of the amounts received from
each candidate and an itemized sccount
of how expended and to whom. The
candidate nor the treasurer are to expend
any OF the money in an unlawful man
ner, and each is to be compelled to swear
that the expense account is correct.
This bill is not expected to apply to
township offices nor Justices of the
Peace. A similar law has been in opera
tion in New York, bat it is doubted by
many whether it has had any effect
upon the actual amount OF Doodle dis
pensed by candidates. The bill in it's
present form is imperfect and admits OF
many evasions. The purpose OF the
measure is to stop bribery and corrup-
tion in elections and is step in the
right direction.

A NOVEL LlFE-PREsERvER.

Tho Clever Device of . Travelling Lady to
Save Herself from Drowning.
''While my wife and were on our
last trip to Europe" said gentleman
to Detroit News man the other day,
''we met a niddle-aged lady who was
going over for her health, and my wife
and she became great friends. One day
while sitting in the ladies' private cabin
the lady said: Let me show you nv
life-preserver,' and, removing her outer
skirt, my wife beheld skirt that was q
curiosity If nothing more. Running up
and down the skirt at distance of two
or three inches, were soft, flexible rub
ber bands about two inches wide. They
were sewed on at the side Of each band
and ran all the way around the skirt,
and at the top they were all joined to q
broad rubber band six inches wide. At
the top of this band was a rubber tube
about two feet long, and which ran up
the waist in front and was left resting
on the top Of the corset.
''Said the lady: You behold one Of
my own inventions for saving my life.
In case Of an accident all have to do is
to take the end of the rubber tube in my
mouth and in two minutes can fill ali
the rubber bands (which are hollow and
air-tight) with air. Then, tying the
tube in hard knot, I am ready for the
waves. This skirt, when I strike the
water, will spread out In the shape OF q
pond lily leaf and I will rest on It in an
upright position, as easy as though re-
clining on couch, and can Aoat

"As our voyage was q pleasant one,
we did not have an opportunity to see
how it would work, but have no doubt
1t would work well"
