BOARD OF FINANCE.

The Board Votes to Restrict Adver- tisfns Temporarily to Two Daily s, Papers-The Journal and Courier and the Register Selected. The board of finance met last evening in l the city hall for the purpose of considering the advertising problem. The appropria- tion for the year has already been exhaust ed and when the fiscal year closes the defi- ciency will be in the neighborhood of 1,7O0.
 After calling the meeting to order, Mayor Sargent read his communication upon the matter, which had been previously sub mitted to the boards of aldermen and councilmen and by these bodies referred to the board of finance to devise some means of extricating the city from it's predica- ment. As was evidenced by their discus 1 sion upon the subject last evening, several of the more conservative members of the board are of the opinion that the city is paying for it's advertising all that it can afford to, and that on this account no in crease should be made in the appropria- l tion, and are in favor of limiting the ad- vertising to one morning, one evening and one German paper, as the law only requires the insertion of advertising in two papers
 Alderman Hitler spoke in favor of ad vertising in all the papers if possible, but thought that if only two papers were to bt selected in which to advertise those two papers should be the ones having the 1arg est circulation among the taxpaying citi zens, and suggested that the morning paper selected should be the JOURNAL AM COURIER, that paper having the larges circulation of any morning paper in tn city among the taxpayers.
 Councilman Cleaveland was in favor o having all the papers enter into competi tition for the advertising, and the award ing of the contracts to the lowest bidders He was also of the opinion that all tn city advertising should be put in a certai column in the newspapers and constant kept in tue same place, so that anyon picking up a newspaper would kno' exactly where to look for any advertise ment of meetings, sewer assessments, etc
 At this point the board voted to go int l. executive session, at which, after consic :. erable discussion of the matter pro an con, the board voted to restrict the cit advertising for the month of November two daily papers, and selected as those p' pers the JOURNAL AND COURIER and th Evening Register, Alderman Bromley nc voting and Councilman Rebman, afte making an eloquent plea for the Germa
 paper, retiring from the meeting of u 1T board.

Lamp Committee.

The lamp committee held meeting in the city hall last evening for the purpose of considering the advisability of continu- ing for three years more the contract with the Gas company for lighting the street lamps. Under the present contract the 76O lamps of the city are supplied with gas at the rate of $25 per lamp. Owing to the fact that this price was thought little steep no action was taken in the hope of obtaining a lower estimate

Ancient Apple Trees.

A gentleman who called at the house of James M. and George H. Townsend on Townsend avenue this week says he was supplied with fine sample of apples grown in the Messrs.

Town send, the date of which is March, 1908, and a certificate on said bill records that the apple trees were set out at that date on the land where they now stand, which was owned by their grandfather and great uncle. The trees bore fine fruit this year,

ton Game of Polo.
 The exhibition game of polo played last evening in Bridgeport was witnessed by between 500 and 600 persons. The Bridgeports played their regular team, while New Haven tried Neal, their new man, as rush. He showed up in good shape, but clearly showed lack of prae- tioe, as did the rest of the team. The score was Bridgeport 5, New Haven 1.
 It is said that Mead has entered Yale and is playing with the idea of helping him through college.

 People living in the vicinity of St. John and Olive streets are loud in their com plaint of the strong smell of gas, which through broken main or gas pipe sends forth a stench which many would consider surpass in offensiveness that from the East street sewer.

er at the Driskill yesterday, and in
answer to the usual question of news,

"The real estate men all over the

this year, and are making many pre-
parations TO bring the Eastern CAPT.

be called the Texas Progress, with

not less than 25,00O each week.
and the different railroads have al
ready made arrangements with the as
ISOLATION to distribute them through
out the north. Several Austin peo-
pie are interested in the publication
and we expect to do lots of good adj
vertising for the state. We are trying
to organize the entire state and
think we shall succeed. Mr.. 7. ID.
Duff formerl associate editor of the
Waco Day is our travelling agent and
is now travelling over the state in the
interest of the paper.
III we can get the legislature to
enact laws prohibiting ticket brokers
or scalpers as they are called, we can
then get the railroads to run excur-
sions from the North to Texas. The
real estate association held a meetir e
last January at Waco and resolved to
urge this legislature to take action in
the matter and a bill will be introduc.
ed in very short time by one of the
members to this effect"

character in the drama was carefully
and distinctly drawn, and it is a
pleasure to say they were all well
acted. The costuming was historically
correct and the stage setting in perfect
accordance with the play. The per-
Torrance throughout was pleasing in
its rendition, and reflected credit on
the members of the cast.

abound in mechanical effects and

A Crazy Negro Who Should be Placed I'm.
der Arrest at Once.
For some time past the officers have
been greatly troubled by the actions
of q crazy negro named Henry Wilson.
The man has been in the asylum once
and in Jail countless times, but some
way or other he manages TO get out
and at once begins to cause trouble
again. Yesterday afternoon he started
Into the store of Mrs. Forbes on Con.
gress avenue for the purpose, as he
said, of Teaching the ladies how to
sew" He was accosted at the door
by Deputy Sheriff Brown, who refused
to allow him to enter. Wilson
then showed fight and was promptly
Knocked down by the officer. On get
ting up he started for the Recorders
court as he said to make complaint
against Mr.. Brown but was met by
officer Bell who voluu teered to show
him the way. Instead of making his
complaint he is now in the cooler"
with complaint against himself for
lunacy. His case will be called in a
few days and it is sincerely hoped that
he will be convicted and sent to the
asylum.
Complaint has also been made
against Geo. Washington for lunacy,
who at present is in the comfy Jail.
