The Levy Court was In session again
this morning. Several az the members
complained that the telephone did not
afford the advantages for which II was
INTENDED, inasmuch as members who
lived outside the city could not commu
nicate with the Court House. II was re
solved that the Building Committee
should wait on Mr.. Mahaffy the manager
OF the Telephone Company, and
endeavor to ascertain II mesns could be
provided whereby connections could be
made without separate charges with the
towns outside the state
The Finance Committee made the
following report respecting the required
expenses for the ensuing year: "The
Committee on Finance respectfully
report that the requirements for county
purposes for the year ending March 81
1892, aggregate 1874 1928, and that the
assessment is $49, 600, 900. The commit

which will pr oduce Sal $50 after the de-

committee therefore report that the col !
lectors have claims for additional errors
which will materially reduce the balance
If not extinguish it
There seems TO be a surplus of &c, 300
produced for county purposes for the
year ending March 81. 1892. but the com
mittee submits that the sum Is not too
large to cover expenditures which can
not be foreseen
The committee also directs attention
to the fact that the assessment shows q
marked decrease as compared with 1890
and remarks that it is largely mads up
from the striking of OF more than /. 0OC

Asomewhat novel colonization scheme
Is In the hands of Gen. Herman Sturm
The concession provides that Mr.. Sturm

parts OF the country, the government
obllging itself to sell him for the pur-
pose Soo,6O0 hectares Of surveyed public
land IN the states of Durango. CoahuiIa.

nrst colony, consisting of 200 persons of
elther sex, must be established within
three years from the date of the promul-
CATION of the concession. The colonists
are to be selected preferably from among
the residents of Mexican descent in the
American states of California and Colo

and Arizona.
The colonists will engage in stock

ton of limited number of head of

important feature of the scheme is the
erection of a paper mill in the federal

cessionaire to sell the paper manufact-
ured there at maximum price of $3.50
for common triple printing paper, $3.50

A New Tent for Austrians.

Several Prussian officers went to vi
emma two weeks ago to show the Emper-
or Franz Joseph and his generals the
tent used in the German army, and to
explain its advantages. The tent is
made to cover and to be carried by two
men. Each occupant on breaking camp
packs away on his person one half of the
cloth, three sticks with iron screws,
three hooked pegs and a few yards of
stout cord, which are the constituent
parts Of his share of the tent The cloth
of the tent is also used by the soldiers to
protect them from the rain. The Au-
strian emperor, in a special audience,
expressed his satisfaction with the exhi-
bition of the tent, which, it is to be ex-
pected, will be adopted shortly by the
Austrian army.-London Letter.

The Young Kinr of sorria.

King Alexander is now ID years Of
age, and is rapidly developing both
physically and intellectually. He is
only allowed to receive such visitors as
are agreeable to the regents, as the fol
lowing instance will show: The Metro
politan Michael attempted lately to in
trude on the royal presence without hav-
ing announced his intention to the re-
gents. The consequence was that he
was not received, and since that time he
has not appeared at the konak. King
Alexander will come of age ON Aug. 2,
1894. He is now going through course
of military studies, and his present tutor
is Col. Miskovie. The king is generally
present at the ordinary military drills,
when he is placed in command of COM
pany. He is also in the habit of driving
out to the park of Castle Toptshider,
and on these drives he not infrequently
passes his mothers carriage returning to
town.
The queen drives herself. Her son, in
the dress of colonel, salutes her in mill
tary fashion, and the queen in recogni-
ton waves her hand. A little while
ago, when King Milan was driving with
his son, the two monarchs CHANGED to
pass the queen, but on perceiving his ex-
majesty she turned away her head, and
the salute was not returned. King
Alexander is in constant correspondence
with his father, and writes either in
Servian or French. These letters are
not altogether without political signifi-
canoe. Queen Nathalie receives large
number of visitors, and her salons are
the resort of politicians of all shades and
parties. Occasionally she is present at
the theatre, where she occupies the court
box; but this only happens when it is
known that King Alexander will not at
tend the play.-Gaig Messenger.

Passes for "Deadheads."

Had you gone into any of the offices Of
presidents of great transportation COM
panies recently you could not help MOTTO
ing the pretty square cards, beautifully
Autographed, which Uttered the desks of
the presidents and the immediate sub
ordinate officers. The presidents of all
the railroads. the presidents of all the
express companies and of great insur-
ance companies, and all other men infu-
ential in the business world, all had
sachelful of these prettily engraved
cards They were the annual passes
which entitle them to travel on every
road in the country gratis. These passes
came from all parts of the country, and
the filling out of the list takes the time
of one clerk one month before the be-
ginning of every year.
Of course the presidents of the rail
roads coming into New York and the
presidents of the express companies here
have to reciprocate, and they have also
sent out wagon load of these annual
free passes. 1t should be added tnat the
Western Union issues quito as many.
The railroad passes permit free travel,
the express passes the sending of free
packages, and the telegraph passes per-
NIT the sending of free messages, no
matter where the holder may be in the
UnitedsStates. The designs on the passes
are sometimes very pretty, and the col
lection this year, as seen in President
Thomas G. Platt's Office the other day,
was curiously beautiful one of the
photographic art. The most unique and
expressive is card sent out by Mr.. John
Hoey, of the Adams Express company.
On the face, delicately engraved, is a
skull, and above it in fine letters is the
word "Deadhead. New York Sun.

able Hard Work.
A good story is going the rounds.
which is rather rough on the detectives
OF the Los Angeles police department.
Two well known young business men
happened in the Western Union office.
the other day. A minute later they
were joined by a young friend, who is
city official. "Do you know detective
is watching you?" remarked the new
conner. II saw Detective - following
you, and he is now piping you off from
the other side OF the street D." The Young
men couldn't imagine why they should
be watched by defective, so they con-
cluded to arouse hope in the breast of
the Los Angeles Hawkshaw. The duo
lett the office together, but met little
later in different part of the CITY,
where they talked in low tone of voice
for several minutes. They were about
to separate when the detective came up.
and putting his hand on the taller one,
SAID You are my prisoner"
The young gentleman asked why he
was arrested, but could not get any sat
isfaction from the officer, who labored
under the apprehension that he had
mace most important capture. Finally
the detective allowed the young man to
consult with friend on the way to the
station. There were several people
present who greeted the man under
arrest very familiarly. 1t finally dawned
upon the detective that he had made a
most serious blunder. He explained
that the man he had arrested answered
the description of man wanted for en-
bezzlement or some such other charge.
and marched off without prisoner.
