What the People are Saying

What the People are Saying
Our city is again without a mayor;
within the past TWO years II has been
fishing party TO ROcKport; trip to Hot
Springs: a trip to New York about bonds;
a trip to Paris to see Mrs. Flores; and
now he has gone to Chicago.
| The city official organ in its last Sun
| day issue has the following personal:
| Mayor Callaghan went to Chicago yes
| terday afternoon" No explanation is
| given of this trip; no leave of absence has
| been granted. None is necessary with u
city council that does not dare question
the actions or movements of the boss.
Inquiry develops the fact that this trip
is undertaken as an economical expert
ment: the mayor goes to Chicago with the
100000 city bonds, to sign and deliver
them: instead of signing them here and
putting them in charge of some response
bic banking house to deliver.
If he travels on pass and only charges
his sleeping car fare and meals. the trip
can be made for small sum and the
amount CLn be paid out of the mayors
contingent fund. That is so.
But what have we got mayor for, and
what is he paid S3,6OJ a year for, if he is
not to stay at his post and attend to his
L titles?
Is it part of the mayors duty to act as
express agent for the city; errand boy for
the council. There are hundred ways
to economic without the mayor packing
his trunk full of unsigned bonds and TAX
ing jaunt 20 Chicago.
X
The city finances are in a terrible con-
dition: the mayor has more reasons than
that of economy in taking this trip to
Chicago: he has left his orders TO be
Obeyed in his absence: the council must
take some desperate measures: his honor
wants to be at safe distance when these
orders are carried out.
Mr.. Calaghan will be able to say the
council did it in my absence: | am not
responsible.
Let the people prepare for the coming
storm: a reckless and eXtravagant ad-
ministration of city affairs has brought
about crisis. The people will be called
on to pay the bill.
No attempt has been made to econo-
mize: no effort to tighten the burdens of
our taxpayers; they must step up to the
collectors Office and pay for the eXtrava-
gance of the past and the jObbery of the
future.

Last night toss'd and turned in bed,
But could not sleep-at length said,
Ill get my paper, pen and ink,
Put on my cap and try to think
What to write for the Poets Corner.
So at it went, with might and main,
Until fear am half insane,
For not one rhyme would come to me

And greatly fear am "a goIer."
Be that as it may, wish to say,
If you would trade where it will pay,
Just go at once-fear not to speak

Just one door from the corner.
And they will show you the pref

HOT WEATHER.

But on one thing we are all
agreed, that something to eat, we
must all have, and savory meal
will attract, when music and the
fine arts fail to satisfy. The cook
ing of a good dinner, how to broil
tender steak or make faky loaf of
bread, are at times more important,
and will charm away more frowns,
and bring back more smiles than
any other requirement. Suppose
you try this receipt for ''1ea Rolls"
''Take some of your dread dough

General Dickinson, who drilled them par

he impressed upon them how much upon

ALEXINE WAS DRUNK.
Further Inquiry Into the Russian Scho
LII

Further Inquiry Into the Russian School
Scandal.
Judge Morley resumed the examination
IN Police Court last night of Z. 2. Alexine,
the Superintendent of the Russian Church
Academy. who was arrested by the officers
of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children for causing a number of boys,
natives of Alaska and scholars at the school,
to suffer.
Andrea Delya, an assistant teacher at the
school from October. 1899, to Septem Der,
1890, testified that on one occasion during
the past year Alexine had come into the
school of an evening very much intoxicated.
AleXiBe went into the school-roOm where
the boys were and beat one of them Sc
yerely because he insisted that they ought
10 be- in bed, as it was past II O'Clock, al
though IN reality it was only $50. The wit
ness stated that after beating the boy Alex
inc went into the yard and vomited. Wit
ness then helped put him to bed with his
boots and clothes on.
Numerous objections to the witness testi-
mony, on the ground Of iAdefiniteness, were
overruled.
The witness then stated that Aiexne had
the keys to a sort Of black hole into which
refractory boys were put for punishment.
and that he had seen AleXiue put several
boys therein.
On cross-examination the witness said he
had seen Alexine drunk at least ten times
during the year he was there He was un-
certain as to dates. but thought the first
time he saw Aexine drunk was in the same
month that he first went to work at the
academy. The time he beat the boy and
was drunk might have been early in 1890,
perhaps in February, but he was not GER
tain. He had on other occasions seen Alexine
beat the boys, but not very severely. The
witness was then examined at length as to
when the boys were given baths and how
they were dressed. Nothing of material in
terest was brought out in this branch of
crOss-examination and the further hearing

INCURABLES' HOME.
The Associated Charities Criticize Their
Rules.

The Associated Charities Criticize Their
Rules.
AT the meeting of the Board of Asso-
cated Charities yesterday afternoon the
Registrar, Arthur G. Smiley, read some ex-
tracts from the rules of admission TO the
Home for -lncurables and from the agree
ment entered into by any intending inmate
and the Directors of the home. MIR. Smiley
pointed out that any intending occupant
was required to deposit S100as an admission
fee and to transfer TO the Directors of the
hons any property of which lie hi ght be
possessed.
BY the agreement entered into by the in
tending occupant he may be expelled for i'll
frlnglng tie rules of the home. 1t Is pro-
vlded also that in case of voluntary with
drawal he agrees to forfeitall admission and
annual fees paid and all property trans
ferred. Mr.. Smiley stated that he had one
case of a little girl whom he had been
thinking OF trying to get admitted to the
home, but she was fractions and irritable
child and would probably be found intract-
able to the rules. He aid not feel himself
justified in attempting to raise the 800 re-
CURED for the admission lee when 1t was
possible that it might be forfeited.
II may be stated in justice to the Directors
OF the home that the agreement provides
that III case an occupant is dismissed as
cured or durable. all property transferred
TO the home Is to be returned. and the bal
ance of the $500 annual fee is also to be re-
turned, after "A deduction of 81 for every
week OF residence in the home has been
made.
Several questions with regard 10 the rules
Of the home were asked by various members
OF the board. Opinions were expressed de-
cldedly ayerSe to the existing rules, some
of the members declaring that the Directors
could have had little experience in charit-
able work, that the rules contained proyis-
ions which they had never heard of in con-
nection with similar Institutions, and that
board at hotel could be obtained at the
same figure-S7 per week.

teen cases had been acted upon during the
