What the People are Saying.
The new charter amendments are, a,
yet sealed letter to the public.
1t is understood that Gov. Hogg has YET
TO pass upon the bill, and until it is so
passed upon, the certainty OF becoming a
law remains in suspense. After twenty
days from the adjournment of the legis-
lature, all bills become laws unless We
toed.
| Various claims have been made as to
the amendments passed; both sides seem
| TO be pleased.
In the meantime our city government
| goes on Just as il did, the people seem
| content to be rid of the task of thinking
about it.
A favored few bask in the sunshine of
municipal generosity. The dignity of
office, the responsibility of power; sink
back to the old low water mark.
Our city council, being the legislative |
branch of our city government, should |
be held strictly and solely responsible, |
not olny for all legislation but for all short |
comlngS In the administration of affairs. |
1t is time that the people turned their
attention to the city council. Do they
represent the people, if not, who do they
represent?
The new charter should be suggestiveI
of the responsibility of the members of
the city council. Each meeting of that
body should be opened, not with prayer,
but with the reading of the powers of

Now that the president and Gov. Hogg
have left, ii would seem that Mayor CAL

Of the little affairs of the city. The
council, of course, can't move until Bryan
tells, them what to do. There should be
the council. Then there are contracts
which are running away.over their time,
for instance the printing and advertising
contracts.
1t won't do to carry the idea too far
that Bryan Callaghan is not only boss
but runs our city on the plan of an abso-
lutte monarchy. There should be decent
respect paid to the charter and to the

Three Needed Improvements.


The prospect OF continued activi-
ty in building in Annapolis should
admonish our City Council to con-
slider the Importance OF providing
more convenient means OF clrcula-
ton for the increasing populatl IN
and business Of the city. AT pres
emit one half of the town is practi-
cally separated and divorced from
the other half, there being no d.
rect line of communication through
the heart of the city. We refer to
the portion extending from Randall
street to College avenue. All the
population on the Naval Academy
side of Main street, is obliged 10
pass through the narrow passage be
tween Francis street and Conduit
street or through the two other
similar passages to reach the oppo-
site side of the town, now rapidly
building up. Also, by the lack of
direct communication from Spa
creek bridge to Market space and
Main street, the current of travel is
turned from those two business GEN.
tres.
What seems needed is to correct
these defects before these improve
ments become impossible or very
expensive through the erection of
valuable houses on the line of the
proposed openings.
To give easy circulation to our
people and so increase business &C.
tivity by facility of movements we
suggest these improvements as
absolute necessities, and as matter
of economy, because every year will
render them more expensive to COM
plete.
THE opening of Charles street,
from Gloucester to Main street, in
direct line, by the purchase of one
house on Main street.
2nd-The connection of Com
promise street with the Spa bridge
either in direct or curved line.
These ideas may startle our city
fathers, but the question is, whether
q wise economy does not commend
immediate action rather than delay
involving much greater expendi-
ture at any later period +? Of the
immediate advantages there can be
no doubt as stimulus would at
ence be given to business and to
improvements. The city is not so
deeply in debt that it csnnot Crap
pie with the financial problem in
volved as an increased income must
result in the improvements which
follow improved thoroughfares.
These improvements cannot be
regarded as useless or extrsvagant
but as absolutely necessary to our
growth. We are now tsc0 towns,
separated by Main or Church street,
and were we united by cross town
thoroughfsre a new current of life
would flow through our heart. The
blunder of carrying travel away
from the market or rendering it
very difficult and avoiding the prin-
cipal business street can be easily
repaired while up town travel can
have q choice of routes-by connect
ing Compromise street with Spa
bridge. Let our "fathers" not act
like grand-fathers or "old fogies, f"
but by taking time by the fore-lock
save o heavy expense in the future.

A Cornish Custom.

Of the more modern and wholly quaint
and innocent customs of Cornwall a few
pleasant illustrations may be cited. The
fish wives of ancient st. Ives are an in,
c%orrigible lot. Should you visit the town
at the height of pilchard fishing, and en-.
ter the dark cellars where hundreds OF
women and girls are engaged in "bulk.
ing" OF sailing, the fish, scores of grin.
ming Amazons will rush at you, and the
feetest NJ will daub your shoes gener-
ously with the odorous fish oil which
has drained from the piles of curing fish.
This is called ''wiping the shoc," and if
you do not respond with tribute of at
least a half crown for luck of the ''fai1
maids that feed and clothe the poor
that is, the pilchard fishes-your subse-
quent ''hustling" by these savory
wenches will certainly cost you a new
suit of clothing. The same custom, save
that the daubing is done with "miner's
clay" prevails within the mines, where
the stranger is expected to pay some
thing for his initiation into their mys-
teries.-Edgar L. Wakeman in New

Natural Gas in Iron Working.

Among the more recent improvements
in the manufacture of iron and steel, the
use of gaseous fuel stands conspicuous.
The idea of first converting the fuel into
a combustible gas, and~conveying this to
the point where heat was required and
there igniting it, is a very old one, and,
in one form or another, it has been en-
ployed for over a thousand years, but it
is only within the present century that
the manifold advantages of gas as a
metallurgical fuel have become fully
recognized by the iron and steel workers
of the world. The early gas furnaces
used in Silesia, Sweden, and other Eu-
ropean countries were but enlarged
notifications of Geber's Tower of Atha-
nor, and, although they were a great
improvement on the furnaces in which
solid fuel was burned on a CRATE, yet
they were not able toproduce a tempera-
ture sufficiently high and comfortable to
satisfy the demands of the rapidly de-
veloping iron and steel ADMINISTRATIONS
