Still they come. While not questioning
the right Of any member to father rs
many bills as he may - fit, a word Of
caution can do no harm at this time. IN
no better way can the remaining three
weeks be employed than In passing tho
most needed laws. No one will deny
the folly Of attempting to put through,
in the short space OF three weeks, as,
many bills as might be embraced in A
full session. 1t is impossible to put b
gallon into u quart measure. There are
some laws which are absolutely needed.
There are many others which may be
wise and just measures, but which the
state could wait on without suffering
any material loss. When the necessary
ones are out OF the way, the remaining
time, il any, can be devoted to the re-
mainder. OF course, in such a pro-
ceeding, there you'd be some differ
ences OF opinion as to which bills ought
to be embraced in class and which
in the other. The good sense Of the
members OF the legislature will have to

Importance to warrant the calling OF an

will be satisfied to dispense with that
costly luxury. The two legislatures
will have cost them plenty when the

who also had to tell a few friends. Well
the opening night came and the house was
jammed to the ceiling to see the maRnif-
cent diamonds and the foreign actress.
The sue cess continued for two weeks, for
the town was crazy to see the much adver-
tised Jewels"
"The successful opening was of course
te~legraphed by Sargent all over the country
and in less than a week Madam Modjeska
and her diamonds were pretty we'll known
from ocean to ocean. When she heard Of
the dodge she was very angry because she
thought the people were paying tribute =
her talent. After a time it dawDed upon
the people hat she WAS an actress, indeed.
She learned the language and then came
the great career of the actress. But the
start was all the result of Sargent's clever
brain, which. by the way. originated the
scheme of starring" the actress in a private
car.

A Pleasant Wedding,

The Catholic cathedral yesterday morn
ing was the scene of a very pleasant we'd
ding, at which Miss Katherine Ming was
united in marriage to Joseph Latsck. Tho
Rt. Rev. Father Follert performed the cere-
mony in the German language, after which
Father PalIadino celebrated high mass.
Tn bride wore the customary veil and
looked charming in a dress of pure white
trimmed with gsrnitures of Marechal Mel
rosebuds. After the ceremony the happy
couple, accompanied by their friends, re-
paired to the residence OF Henry yogei, on
North Rodney street, where a bountiful
wedding breakfast was served. The pres
ents were numerous and costly. Mr.. and
Mrs. Latsch will reside in the city for n
few weeks, after which they contemplate a
trip to Europe.

CITY GROWTH IN GERMANY.

The returns of the German census OF
1890 are complete, and illustrate in a re-
markable way one Of the most striking
tendencies Of population in modern
times. In nearly every civilized country,
the towns and cities are increasing at
the expense Of the rural population. We
are accustomed to look upon the growth
Of some Of our American cities IS phe-
nomenal, but even We cannot parallel
the figures quoted in the German re-
turns. In 1885, Berlin had 1,315,297 in.
habltants; Hamburg with its suburb
Altoona, 41O,4Oi: Leipsic, 170,O76; Munich.
261 1881; Breslau, 299,4O5; Cologne, 161,-
266; Dresden, 25,515; Magdeburg, ll4,-
298. and Frankfort-on-th the Main, 154,513.
Within five years Berlin has shot
ahead OF New York, and Its population
numbers l,574,4S5. Hamburg, with 49,
40 inhabitants, has an increase of over
10000. Leipslc is credited with $685.
272, and has more than doubled it's pop
ulation OF five years ago. Munich has
344,S99; Breslar, 334,71O; Cologne, 282,-
537. The population Of Dresden has
risen to 276,085; Of Mageburg, to 200,O71;
and of Frankfort, to 1850. Our W
country can show only four places whose
population has increased by 10000 in
the last ten years. Within the past five
years four German cities have increased
their population by numbers ranging
from l21,0O0 to $4,000. Detroit has
grown less in ten years than M~agdeburg
in five; Munich is outpscing Cincinnati
and San Francisco.
1t is scarcely to be supposed that the
German authorities look upon these fig.
ures with unmixed complacency. The
may mean an increase OF individual
prosperity and national wealth, but il
certainly entails the ~degeneracy of the
national type Of manhood and woman,
hood. Years OF close confinement and
toilsome labor 10 cities sooner or later
tell their tale. Flat chests, enfeebled
or abnormally developed muscles, and
nervous tension are the sure outcome o!
the city life. Under present and future
conditions, the German army OF 1870 Is
not likely to repeat itself. In the
United States, We can look upon the
process with less apprehension. The
great public domain with its free home.
and it's virgin soil will, for many a yea
yet, furnish subsistence for hardy toll
ers, whose energetic frames and NOR,
restful dispositions will recruit the care
worn minds and weaker bodies Of the
dwellers in our cities.

a BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.

The best governed municipality in the
United States is the city Of Washington,
District Of Columbia. The absolute
control Of affairs is vested in a commits
sion appointed by the president and
confirmed by the senate. The law re-
quires that M OF the commissioners
shall be an officer detailed from the en-
gineer corps Of the United States army,
and that the other two shall be civilians
Of opposite political parties. These
commissioners divide the work OF adj
ministration, one having active superin-
tendence of the police department, an.
other looking especially after the fire
department., while the third. the engi-
neer commissioner, has charge OF street,
sewer and water improvements.
We believe the provision in our new
charter for a board Of public works and
affairs to consist OF three persons, not
more than two OF whom shall be mem
bers OF the same political party, is a
wise one. In the most of cities
there are too many boards, such as
police commissioners, excise commits
s~ioners, park commissioners, fire COM
m~issioners, and the like, and conse-
quently very little concert Of action or
harmony Of administration. The crea-
ton Of so many offices, too, has involved
municipalities in needless expense. On
the other hand, in Helena, there has
been q lack of intelligent sys-
tenn and too much responsibility.
The board Of public works and
affairs, as provided for in the new char
ter is the happy medium. The board is
to be chosen by the council and our city
legislators, therefore, have their powers
practically undiminished, while respon-
sibility is concentrated in the hands of
three men whom the people and their
representatives in the council can hold
to strict accountability for the manage
ment OF the police, fire, street. water and
other departments Of government. This
scheme is at once simple and compre-
hensive, and. with the checks upon the
powers of the board provided by other
sections Of the charter, a careful, intelli-
gent and economical administration of
affairs should be obtained.

PEOPLE OF NOTE.

John Morley, the English publicist and
ex-journaljst. says that it IS the duty of the
press to discuss and not to dictate.
Mrs. Langtry wears a bracelet of dead
gold. with the name Cleopatra written in
diamonds. the Christmas gift of some old
members of her company.
Herr Krupp, the owner of the great gun
factories, has an estimated income of
6,00O,OO0 marks ($1, 500,000), and is called
the richest man in Prussia. Baron Roths-
child comes next.
Sir Edwin Arnold now thinks chopsticks
superior in some respects to tho haife and
fork. Says he: II myself picked up with
chopsticLs twenty-five single grains of rice
in one minute from a %lacauered tray, being
beaten by n japanese lady. whose swift
skill dexterously conveyed as many az
f~orty-nine."
Goodwin Smith said recently that he fire.
quently met Macaulay at Oxford. and ex-
cept for his eye, his appearance was
not that Of a man of genius. Indeed, .

a cobbler's apron would have become him
very WELL" As for Henry Haliam, he and
Mr.. Smith entered Elton on the same day,
and Mr.. Smith consequently saw much OF
him. He had the reputation Of being
morose and a story was told of how he
would get up at night to contradict the
Waterman calling the hour.

who was recently assigned to the First regi

In a little oyer three weeks the reeu-
lar session Of the Second legislative
assembly will have come to an end. The
first session Of ninety days resulted in
no legislation. The second was nearly
half gone before the senate and the
house, through the compromise, got into
a position to pass laws about which
there could be no question. Since the
rival houses got together, a disposition
has been manifested to rush ahead, and
enough laws to make up for all the lost
time have been introduced already.

why 1t is that the electric light, corner Of

lighted. Since the light has been swung
over Rodney street 1t has not lighted the

that Sargent in the meantime had said
nothing to Modjeska about the diamonds.
He quietly went up to the police depart
ment and asked for the services of a pIi.
vate detective, emphasizing the fact that he
wanted a man accustomed to looking after
large sums of money. Well, he talked SO
we'll that he excited some curiosity in the
department, but he got his man. Then
before he opening he ooh the local
manager in his confidence. telling him hat
under no circumstances would he psrmit

Modieska would wear gems of priceless
value, consisting of n crown presented by
the czar of Russia, a necklace from n Ger
man prince. bracelets from the Spanish
king. etc, all Of which were valued above
any known collection of jewels. Then the
hotel clerk was taken into confidence and
informed that the safe must be emptied for
the exclusive occupancy of these Jewels.
and a guard must be stationed there during
the day. Of course the proprietor had to
tell a friend, then this friend had TO tell
another. and so on until the newspapers
