MIR. o'nRIEN's PARTIAL REPORT.

He recommends That tho City Keep n
Complete Set of Books.
The Investigating committee met at
tho courthouse last night for the pur-
pose of listening to Expert O'Brien's
report.
Mr.. O'Brien stated that he had been
unable to check up the books of the
city treasurer since the first of July,
1891, and could, therefore, only make
partial report. The books of the other
officials have been checked up to the
first OF January, as follows: Auditor,
mayor, market master, jailer and COM
missioner of internal revenue.
1t was resolved. that the chairman of
the committee see Mr.. Thomas and re-
quest him to close up his books to the
first of January as soon as possible, so
that they could be checked.
Mr.. OBrien stated that they had
worked thirty days on the books. Mr..
McClelland said this was an excellent
showing for the time employed. Mr.
O'Bcien thought that the city should
have complete set of books. such as
can be found in any wholesale house.
Mr.. OBrien was instructed to prepare
list of tho books needed and their size

Blood Red Snow,

AT the head of Holy Cross creek near
Leadville, Colo, and at another place in
the almost inaccessible defles of Mount
Shasta, Cal, there are hundreds OF
square feet of ground continually Gov
cred with snow that is as red as blood.
These two places are the only ones IN
the United States where red snow Ii
known. The phenomenon is due to the
presence OF minute animalcule in the
snow. How the little midgets manage
to get into such high attitudes is not
known.-Boston Globe.

WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT 1T.

Lyrics to Inez and Jane.
Dolores and Ethel and May;
Senoritas distant as Spain,
And damsels just over the way!
1t is not that I'm jealous, not that.
OF either Dolores or Jane,
OF some girl in an opposite fat,
Or in one of his castles In Spain,
But it is that, salable prose
Put aside for this proftless strain,
sit the day darning his hose,
And he sings OF Dolores and Jane.
Though the winged horse we know must be
free
To .'spurn flor the pretty the plain"
Should the team work fall wholly on me
While he scars with Dolores and Jane?
/ am neither Dolores nor Jane,
But to tighten a little my life,
Might the poet not spare me strain
Although | am only his wife2

No sensible person will ever wear a
single eyeglass unless he is blind of one
eye. Its use means that one eye is
neither employed nor unemployed, but
is engaged in eeaseless, though no doubt
unconscious, etfcGts to see as much as its
more favored fellow. This straining is
as harmful as anything could well be,
and cannot fail to lead to the gravest

AND one WORD brought on announcer IN
this bitter sweet dialogue-which, from
the expressive pantomime that accom-
panied it, was rapidly approaching Il
crisis-when suddenly turbulent stir
on the staircase was heard, the passage

Toinette, the old gentleman and both
sergents-de-ville all responded, and kept
on responding in excited chorus; in the
avalanche of sound only the words
''tramway," prison" conductor
''ticket" and "honest girl'' made them
selves heard. Marjeval threw up his
hands to heaven.

Mrs. Laytin herself is a pretty little
woman of blond type, with reddish gold
hair and q pink and white complexion.
Strange to say, she is not particularly
fond Of dress, and often declares that
she buys her immense wardrobe more to
please her husband than for her own
qualification.
Last summer, on her travels to the
different fashionable resorts, Mrs. Lay
tin took with her ffty-seven pieces Of
baggage. There were fourteen large
saratogas. as many more skirt trunks, a
dozen hat boxes and many shawl straps.
t.How many gowns have r. said Mrs.
Laytin in answer to questioning re-

forty new ones this summer. Besides
the gowns have ten pairs of diamond
bracelets. four diamond necklaces. MAN.
